What’s happening with GOOD Act?

The House passed H.R. 1515 on March 3, 2025, but the bill has seen no action in the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs since that date. The Senate must now choose to schedule a vote, though the 60 vote threshold remains a major hurdle for passage. History shows that many bills passed by the House fail to move forward in the Senate.
