Ah see this is the problem with political discussion. It turns out he never actually said that.

According to the article, one tiny piece of the $1.2 trillion dollar infrastructure bill he signed committed two federal agencies to be conduct a study on that as a potential solution.

The Forbes article editorializes that significantly to say that beaconing has received the "federal stamp of approval".

It's like a kid asking their parents for McDonalds for hours and the parent says "I'll think about it".
