Independently verified. Garbarino was the LEAD SPONSOR (with Sen. Gillibrand) of the 9/11 Responder and Survivor Health Funding Correction Act, and the bill's corrected funding formula was ENACTED into law. An earlier attempt (HR 9101/S 4724) was stripped from the December 2024 year-end continuing resolution (HR 10445), but the fix was carried in the FY2026 appropriations minibus and signed into law in early 2026, securing lifetime/long-term funding (~$2.3B) for the WTC Health Program that serves 140,000+ responders and survivors and averting the projected shortfall that would have limited enrollment beginning 2027. ABC News (Feb 5, 2026) reports the funding 'has been signed into law' and fully funds the program through 2040; The Messenger Papers (Jan 29, 2026) names Garbarino and Gillibrand as the 'lead sponsors' and confirms the minibus secures lifetime funding. All three cited sources are real, live, and accurately support the outcome. The promise's core aim -- additional and long-term funding so responders and survivors keep their care -- was fully achieved, and Garbarino led the effort, so FULL (not merely CHAMPIONED) is correct. Nonpartisan fairness check: a member of the opposite party with an identical record (lead sponsor of a bill whose provision was enacted into law) would earn the same FULL label; no partisan leniency or harshness detected.
