Evidence

Congress.gov says H.R.402 was introduced on January 24, 2011, was titled the National Infrastructure Development Bank Act of 2011, would establish the National Infrastructure Development Bank as a wholly owned government corporation, and had the status Introduced with latest action referral to subcommittee on March 23, 2011.

A same-term House bill matching the promise was introduced but did not advance beyond introduction/referral, so it did not create the bank.

Congress.gov says H.R.658 would establish the National Infrastructure Development Bank as a government corporation to finance energy, environmental, telecommunications, and transportation infrastructure projects, but its tracker status was Introduced and its latest action was referral to subcommittee on February 7, 2019.

A later-term bill directly aligned with the promise also failed to become law, showing the bank still was not created through this vehicle.

The Congress.gov cosponsor list for H.R.658 identifies Rep. Keating, William R. [D-MA-9] as an original cosponsor dated January 17, 2019; the same page reports 62 current cosponsors.

Keating took concrete later-term action in support of creating the bank by cosponsoring the 2019 bill, but the bill remained only introduced, so this is effort rather than delivery.

Assessments

never later_term A for effort

Keating supported the promised policy through concrete later-term legislative action, including original cosponsorship of H.R.658, the National Infrastructure Development Bank Act of 2019. However, that bill remained introduced/referred and did not become law, and the earlier 2011 aligned bill also failed to advance. The promised National Infrastructure Development Bank was therefore not created, but the cosponsorship warrants an effort badge.
