The Fire Sale Loophole Closing Act of 2025 remains in the House Committee on the Judiciary as of June 26, 2025. The committee members must act next to hold a vote, but most bills fail because they never receive a committee hearing. This effort has seen no progress since June 26, 2025, and it faces the same hurdle as the previous version that expired in 2023.
