What’s happening with Federal Gift Shop Tax Act?
The Federal Gift Shop Tax Act is represented by H.R. 3650, which has remained in the House Committee on the Judiciary since May 28, 2025. The committee members must act next to hold a hearing or vote, but the bill has seen no movement for 13 months. Most bills fail because committees choose not to act on them, and this lack of progress is the standard outcome for most legislation.
