Congress.gov records H.R.5371 as Public Law 119-37, enacted November 12, 2025. CRS summarizes Section 120 as prohibiting federal funds for reductions in force through January 30, 2026 and nullifying RIFs implemented by federal agencies between October 1, 2025 and enactment.

A shutdown-ending law did prevent and reverse certain federal employee RIFs, but this is about workforce terminations, not DOE project/award terminations; it is only partial evidence for the stated promise.

Congress.gov states the act ended the October 1, 2025 shutdown and funded most federal agencies through January 30, 2026. The summary also says Section 790 requires USDA to notify appropriations committees before terminating grants, cooperative agreements, or contracts above $1 million.

The enacted measure created some guardrails for agency award terminations at USDA and temporarily funded agencies, but it did not broadly prevent or reverse DOE project terminations.

The House Clerk records Roll Call 168 on H.R.4 as passed 214-212. The vote table lists Representative Hoyer, Democrat of Maryland, voting Nay.

Hoyer took concrete action against the rescissions bill, but the bill still passed and became law; this supports an effort badge rather than full delivery.

Axios reported that the Energy Department said it was terminating $7.56 billion in financial awards supporting 223 projects across several clean-energy offices, with affected recipients given 30 days to appeal.

The reported DOE project terminations occurred after the promise context and were not prevented at the time; no official source found showed Hoyer-backed amendment language reversing these DOE cancellations.
