Known asPRICE Act

What’s happening with PRICE Act?

The PRICE Act is currently stalled in the House Committee on Financial Services as of July 16, 2025, and the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation as of April 26, 2026. Committee members must choose to hold a vote for these bills to advance, but most legislation dies in committee without ever receiving a hearing. Given that no action has occurred on the House version since July 16, 2025, the effort faces a high likelihood of expiring without a vote.
