Congress.gov says H.R. 240's latest action was '03/04/2015 Became Public Law No: 114-4.' Its public-law summary says the act 'provides FY2015 appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security' and did not include the House-passed immigration funding restrictions.

Shows the bill Watson Coleman supported on final passage was enacted and funded DHS for FY2015, resolving the remaining unfunded department after the FY2015 cromnibus left DHS on a short-term CR.

Assessments

delivered same_term

Watson Coleman was serving in the House during the relevant 114th Congress votes. She voted yea on final House passage for H.R. 240, which funded DHS for FY2015 and became Public Law 114-4, and voted yea on H.R. 2029, the FY2016 Consolidated Appropriations Act, which became Public Law 114-113 and provided appropriations for the federal government through FY2016. Because the promised vote and resulting government funding occurred during her same House term, this counts as delivered.
