Evidence

H.R.5748 - Alice Cogswell and Anne Sullivan Macy Act. Latest Action: House - 09/27/2023 Referred to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. This bill has the status Introduced. Rep. McGarvey, Morgan [D-KY-3]* 09/27/2023.

McGarvey was an original cosponsor of the 118th Congress Cogswell-Macy Act, but the official status remained only 'Introduced' after referral to committee, so the bill did not become law in that term.

TITLE III-IMPROVING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SPECIAL EDUCATION AND RELATED SERVICES FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH WHO ARE DEAFBLIND. The purposes of this Act are... To better ensure delivery of high-quality special education and related services to children and youth who are... deafblind... To support the development of personnel serving children and youth who are... deafblind.

The bill text directly targeted improved special education services, early intervention, technical assistance, and personnel support for deafblind children, matching the promise substance. It was proposed legislation, not enacted policy.

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. McGarvey said the Act closes that gap for students who are deaf, blind, or deafblind.

In a later federal term, McGarvey introduced a new bipartisan Cogswell-Macy Act explicitly aimed at improving educational resources for deafblind children. As of 2026-07-02, this is concrete legislative effort, not evidence of enactment or completed delivery.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

McGarvey materially pursued the promise by cosponsoring the 118th Congress Cogswell-Macy Act and later introducing a bipartisan version aimed at improving educational resources and services for deafblind children. But the cited federal legislation remained introduced/referred and there is no evidence that the promised resources or policy changes were enacted or otherwise delivered as of 2026-07-02. This warrants failed-delivery treatment with an effort badge rather than partial or full delivery.
