What’s happening with You Earned It, You Keep It Act?

The bill H.R. 2909 has remained in the House committees on Ways and Means and Energy and Commerce since April 13, 2025. The House committee members must act next to hold a vote, but the binding constraint is that most bills never receive a committee vote to move forward.
