What’s happening with Stop Foreign Funds in Elections Act?

The Stop Foreign Funds in Elections Act, known as H.R. 3535, was approved by its committee on May 13, 2026, and is scheduled for a House floor vote during the week of July 13, 2026. The House of Representatives must act next to pass the bill, though the primary constraint is the limited time remaining in the legislative calendar. While this bill has cleared the committee stage, most legislation fails because it never receives a committee vote at all.
