What’s happening with Emerging Innovative Border Technologies Act?
H.R. 993 passed the House of Representatives and has been in the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs since March 10, 2025. The Senate must now schedule a vote for the bill to advance, but the binding constraint is that most House bills never receive a Senate floor vote. History shows that legislation passing one chamber often fails to become law because the other chamber does not prioritize it.
