The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee activity report states that H.R.1936, the Climate Resilient Communities Act, was introduced by Mr. Neguse and referred to the committee and subcommittee, and that H.R.1936 was included in section 1626 of H.R.3684 as passed by the House.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The bill received a concrete House-level advance by being incorporated into the House-passed version of H.R.3684, but this evidence does not show enactment of the GAO/FEMA report requirement.

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial. same_term A for effort

Neguse sponsored H.R.1936, the Climate Resilient Communities Act, and the promised GAO/FEMA/building-code reporting language was incorporated into the House-passed version of H.R.3684 during the same congressional term. However, the standalone bill did not advance beyond subcommittee referral, and the enacted Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act did not retain the specific section requiring that GAO climate resiliency report. This is meaningful advancement but not full delivery of the promised requirement.
