What’s happening with Helping Young Americans Save for Retirement Act?
The Helping Young Americans Save for Retirement Act is currently stalled in the House Committee on Ways and Means and the Committee on Education and Workforce as of June 2025. These committees must take action to move the bill forward, but the binding constraint is that most legislation never receives a committee vote. This lack of progress since July 22, 2025, is consistent with the historical trend where the vast majority of bills end due to committee inaction.
