Amend the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to honor the legacy of Archie Cavanaugh.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with Archie Cavanaugh Migratory Bird Treaty Amendment Act?
The Archie Cavanaugh Migratory Bird Treaty Amendment Act is currently in the House committee stage following a subcommittee hearing on February 3, 2026. The House committee must now decide whether to hold a vote to move the bill forward, but most bills fail because committees choose not to act on them. No action has occurred on H.R. 6021 since July 2026, and this lack of movement is the primary obstacle for the legislation.
