What’s happening with FAIR Leave Act?
The FAIR Leave Act, known as H.R. 3404, has remained in House committees without a vote since May 13, 2025. Members of the House committees must act next to move the bill forward, but committee inaction is the most common way for legislation to end. This lack of progress follows the pattern of the previous version of the bill that expired in 2023.
