What’s happening with Family Building FEHB Fairness Act?
The Family Building FEHB Fairness Act, known as S. 797, has been in the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs since February 26, 2025. The committee members must hold a vote to move the bill forward, but most bills in Congress fail because they never receive a committee vote. This effort has seen no recorded action since February 26, 2025, and it faces the same hurdle as the expired S. 1262 from the 118th Congress.
