Improve educational resources for children and youth who are blind, low vision, deaf, hard of hearing, deafblind, or deafdisabled.
Occurrences
Today, Congressmen Morgan McGarvey (KY-03) and John H. Rutherford (FL-05) introduced the Alice Cogswell and Anne Sullivan Macy Act (Cogswell-Macy Act), a bill to improve educational resources for children and youth who are blind or low vision, deaf or hard of hearing, deafblind, or deafdisabled.
Evidence
McGarvey's official House office reported that he and Rep. John Rutherford introduced the Alice Cogswell and Anne Sullivan Macy Act, described as legislation to improve educational resources for children and youth who are blind or low vision, deaf or hard of hearing, deafblind, or deafdisabled.
The release states that Senators Edward Markey and Shelley Moore Capito were leading companion Senate legislation and quotes McGarvey saying the bill would help close education gaps for students who are deaf, blind, or deafblind.
Assessments
McGarvey directly introduced bipartisan House legislation in June 2026 matching the promised educational-resource improvements, with companion Senate activity, so this qualifies as a serious same-term federal legislative effort. However, the evidence shows introduction and advocacy only, not enactment, funding, implementation, or actual delivery of improved resources by the adjudication date. Under the instruction for serious but unsuccessful legislative attempts, this is not delivered; effort credit applies.
