What’s happening with SAFE School Act?
The SAFE School Act is H.R. 8506 and has been sitting with the House Committee on Education and Workforce and the House Committee on the Judiciary since April 26, 2026. These committees must take action for the bill to move forward, but most bills never receive a committee vote and die in this stage. This proposal remains stalled because committee inaction is the most common way for legislation to end.
