What’s happening with Hearing Protection Act?
The Hearing Protection Act is represented by H.R. 404, which has remained in the House Ways and Means and Judiciary committees since January 14, 2025. Members of these committees must act next to hold a vote, but the binding constraint is that most bills never receive a committee hearing. Historical data shows that committee inaction is the standard way most legislation ends without reaching a full floor vote.
