What’s happening with BUMP Act?
The BUMP Act, introduced as S. 1374, has remained in the Senate Committee on the Judiciary since April 8, 2025. The committee members must act next to hold a vote, but the bill faces the binding constraint of committee inaction, which is how most legislation ends in Congress. Historical data shows that the vast majority of bills never receive a committee vote, making this outcome a common pattern for proposed laws.
