What’s happening with MORE Act?

The MORE Act is currently tracked as H.R. 5068 and has been in a House subcommittee since January 12, 2026. House committee members must act next to advance the bill, but the binding constraint is that most legislation dies in committee without ever receiving a vote. This outcome is the standard path for the vast majority of bills introduced in Congress.
