What’s happening with ACE Act?
The ACE Act is currently stalled in the House Committee on Education and Workforce where it has remained since March 17, 2026. The committee members must take action to move the bill forward, but the binding constraint is that most federal proposals never receive a committee vote. History shows that committee inaction is the most common way for legislation to end without a full vote.
