What’s happening with Dark Web Interdiction Act of 2025?
The Dark Web Interdiction Act of 2025 remains stalled in House and Senate committees as of June 2026. Members of the House Judiciary, Energy and Commerce, and Financial Services committees must vote to advance the bill, but most legislation fails to receive a committee vote. This lack of action has persisted since November 17, 2025, which follows a long history of similar bills expiring without a floor vote.
