Public Law 117-58 enacted H.R. 3684 as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act on November 15, 2021.

This is the enacted federal law that contains the relevant impaired-driving and ignition-interlock provisions during Mann's first House term.

Section 24105 amended highway-safety grants for states enforcing mandatory alcohol-ignition interlock laws for all DUI/DWI convictions, including at least 180 days of interlock installation for driving privileges.

This partly matches the first-time-offender promise because all convicted DUI/DWI offenders includes first-time offenders, but it works through state grant eligibility rather than directly imposing a national offender mandate.

Section 24220 directed NHTSA to issue a federal motor vehicle safety standard requiring new passenger vehicles to include advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology.

This delivers a related national vehicle safety standard for impaired-driving prevention technology, but it is not specifically a national ignition-interlock-device standard.

On November 5, 2021, the House voted on concurring in the Senate amendment to H.R. 3684. The motion passed 228-206; Tracey Mann voted Nay.

Mann did not support final House passage of the bill that enacted the closest federal provisions to the promise.

On July 1, 2021, the House voted on passage of H.R. 3684, the INVEST in America Act. The bill passed 221-201; Tracey Mann voted Nay.

Mann also opposed the earlier House-passed version of H.R. 3684 in the same Congress, weighing against crediting him with supporting the relevant legislation.

Assessments

The closest federal legislation was the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which included related impaired-driving provisions: state grant incentives for mandatory ignition-interlock laws covering DUI/DWI convictions and a federal vehicle standard for impaired-driving prevention technology. But those provisions did not directly establish the exact national ignition-interlock standard promised, and Tracey Mann voted against H.R. 3684 both in July 2021 and on final House passage in November 2021. The record therefore does not show that he supported the relevant legislation, and there is no evidence of a separate serious attempt by him.

The provided evidence does not show that Tracey Mann sponsored, cosponsored, voted for, or otherwise materially advanced federal legislation requiring ignition interlock devices for first-time intoxicated driving offenders or creating a national standard. But the evidence is also only negative website-search evidence from current House pages, which is too weak to conclude the promise was never pursued. On the current record, there is not enough to credit delivery, partial progress, or a failed serious attempt.
