What’s happening with Expanding Seniors’ Access to PFAS Testing Act?
The bill H.R. 5571 has remained in the House committees on Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means since September 25, 2025. Committee leaders must decide to hold a vote for the bill to move forward, but most bills never receive a committee vote and die through inaction. This effort has seen no progress for nine months, which is common for legislation that does not gain committee support.
