What’s happening with National Gun Violence Research Act of 2025?
The National Gun Violence Research Act of 2025, known as H.R. 5622, has remained in the House Judiciary, Science, Space, and Technology, and Energy and Commerce committees since September 29, 2025. Members of these committees must act next to hold a vote, but the bill faces a binding constraint because most legislation never receives a committee hearing. This lack of movement is common, as committee inaction is the primary way most bills fail to advance in the legislative process.
