What’s happening with Department of Energy Quantum Leadership Act of 2025?
The Department of Energy Quantum Leadership Act of 2025 is currently stalled in the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources as of February 12, 2025. The committee members must hold a vote to advance the bill, but most legislation fails to receive a committee hearing and dies without a formal vote. This bill follows a similar proposal that expired on November 20, 2024, and the lack of committee action remains the primary barrier to progress.
