ChampionedFact-checker reviewConfidence: 95%

CHAMPIONED is upheld. Source 1 (Peters's official Senate newsroom, PRIMARY) was fetched and fully verified verbatim: the headline "Peters Landmark Provision Requiring Critical Infrastructure to Report Cyber-Attacks Signed into Law as Part of Funding Bill" appears exactly, Peters is named as author of the provision ("authored by U.S. Senator Gary Peters (MI), Chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee"), and the reporting requirement plus both the 72-hour and 24-hour timeframes appear verbatim. This alone documents the champion-level outcome: Peters authored the provision and it was signed into law, which exceeds the promise's stated commitment merely to "keep urging the House to pass" it. Source 3 (Infosecurity Magazine, REPUTABLE_SECONDARY) was fetched and verified: it confirms Senate passage and the 72h/24h reporting requirements for critical infrastructure operators (it labels Peters a "co-author," a minor nuance versus "lead author" but not a contradiction). Source 2 (CISA CIRCIA page, PRIMARY) returned HTTP 403 (bot-block, not a dead link); I could not fetch the exact quote directly, but an independent WebSearch confirmed the page is live on cisa.gov and its content matches the cited quote (report covered cyber incidents within 72 hours of reasonable belief; ransom payments within 24 hours), so the quote is corroborated and not fabricated. No fabrication and no material overstatement of the evidence; the outcome is accurate.
