Independently verified. Frank Pallone was the primary sponsor of H.R. 8152, the American Data Privacy and Protection Act, which he introduced on June 21, 2022. As chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee he drove it through markup, where the committee ordered it reported out to the full House 'with near unanimity' (widely reported as 53-2) on July 20, 2022 - the first comprehensive federal online privacy bill ever to clear committee. Congress.gov's own bill text records it as 'Reported with amendment' on December 30, 2022. However, the bill never received a full House floor vote and did not become law: action on the ADPPA 'had not been completed prior to the adjournment of the 117th Congress on January 3, 2023.' Pallone actively LED and sponsored the effort well beyond a single supporting vote, but the promise to 'enact' the protections was not fully kept - so CHAMPIONED, not FULL. Under a party-neutral standard, any lead sponsor and committee chair who drove a signature bill through markup but failed to see it enacted would earn the same CHAMPIONED label. Note: the congress.gov bill page and the cited CRS product (LSB10776) returned HTTP 403 to automated fetch (anti-scraping, not evidence of invalidity); sponsorship and committee reporting were re-confirmed via the congress.gov engrossed/reported bill XML and Wikipedia.
