What’s happening with Democracy in Design Act?
The Democracy in Design Act remains stalled in committee as of September 17, 2025, with no recorded action on the House version since February 24, 2025. The House Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings, and Emergency Management must act next to advance the bill, but the binding constraint is that most federal legislation never receives a committee vote. History shows that committee inaction is the most common way for bills to end their lifecycle.
