What’s happening with Shelter Act?
The Shelter Act is currently tracked under S. 3497, which has remained in the Senate Committee on Finance since December 15, 2025. The Senate committee must hold a vote to move the bill forward, but the primary constraint is that most bills fail to receive a committee vote at all. Historically, committee inaction is the most common way for legislation to end without reaching the full Senate floor.
