What’s happening with Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2025?
The Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2025 passed the House on July 22, 2025, but it has seen no action in the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation since that date. The Senate must now decide to schedule the bill for a vote, though the binding constraint is that the Senate often fails to take up legislation passed by the House. History shows that most bills passed by one chamber do not become law because the other chamber never schedules them for a vote.
