Evidence
A targeted Congress.gov search for 119th Congress legislation using "Continental Divide Trail" did not identify enacted legislation or a Joe Neguse-sponsored bill directing the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management to complete the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail by the July 1, 2026 assessment date.
Joe Neguse's Congress.gov member profile is the official index for his sponsored and cosponsored legislation. Searches tied to that profile and the 119th Congress did not show a Continental Divide National Scenic Trail completion measure sponsored or cosponsored by him as of July 1, 2026.
The Bureau of Land Management identifies the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail as a national scenic trail crossing BLM-managed lands. This confirms BLM is one of the federal land-management agencies relevant to the promise, but it does not show that Congress enacted new completion-direction legislation in the 119th Congress.
The U.S. Forest Service is the federal administrator for the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. The Forest Service trail page confirms the agency role, but it is not evidence of a new congressional directive enacted in response to Neguse's 2024 campaign commitment.
