Occurrences
Evidence
The enacted FY2025 NDAA, Public Law 118-159, includes Section 1638 on artificial intelligence and strategic deterrence.
AP reported that President Biden signed the defense bill into law on December 23, 2024.
Public Law 118-159 includes Sec. 1638 on artificial intelligence supporting strategic deterrence and states U.S. policy on nuclear safeguards.
GovInfo lists Law Number Public Law 118-159, Date Approved December 23, 2024, and Bill Number H.R. 5009.
Congress.gov records the latest action as H.R.5009 becoming Public Law No. 118-159 on December 23, 2024.
The Senate roll call shows the motion agreed to, 85-14, and lists Fischer (R-NE) as voting Yea.
President Biden stated on December 23, 2024, that he signed H.R.5009 into law.
Assessments
The promised outcome was achieved: the final FY2025 NDAA became Public Law 118-159 on December 23, 2024, and the enacted law included Section 1638 on artificial intelligence and strategic deterrence, matching the relevant Restoring American Deterrence Act provision. Fischer was still serving in the same Senate term and voted yea on final Senate passage, giving her direct legislative credit for helping advance the enacted vehicle.
The promised outcome was that provisions from the Restoring American Deterrence Act be included in the final FY2025 NDAA and signed into law. The evidence shows the enacted FY2025 NDAA, Public Law 118-159, included Section 1638 on artificial intelligence and strategic deterrence, and President Biden signed the bill on December 23, 2024. Because the claim was to work for inclusion of those provisions in the final NDAA, and that outcome occurred while Deb Fischer was still serving in the same Senate term, this is best scored as delivered with same-term timing.
