What’s happening with CRUDE Act?
The CRUDE Act, known as H.R. 1850, has remained in the House Committee on Foreign Affairs since March 4, 2025. The committee members must choose to hold a vote for the bill to advance, but most bills in Congress never receive a committee vote. This lack of action since March 4, 2025, follows the same pattern as the previous version of the bill that expired in 2023.
