What’s happening with Due Process Continuity of Care Act?
The Due Process Continuity of Care Act, known as S. 1720, has remained in the Senate Committee on Finance since May 11, 2025. The Senate committee members must act next to move the bill forward, but most bills fail because committees do not hold a vote on them. This effort has seen no recorded action for 13 months, which follows the common pattern where committee inaction ends most legislation.
