What’s happening with AFTER Act of 2026?
The AFTER Act of 2026, introduced as S. 4172, has been in the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry since March 23, 2026. The committee members must act next to move the bill forward, but most bills fail because committees do not hold a vote on them. This pattern of inaction is the standard way most legislation ends in Congress.
