One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with Science Appropriations Act, 2026?
The House Committee on Appropriations reported H.R. 5342 on September 11, 2025, but the bill has seen no floor action since that date. House leadership must now schedule a vote to move the bill forward, which remains the primary binding constraint. While reaching the Union Calendar is a significant milestone that most bills do not achieve, floor time is limited and leadership determines which measures receive a vote.
