What’s happening with Hazard Pay for Health Care Heroes Act?
The Hazard Pay for Health Care Heroes Act remains in the House Committee on Energy and Commerce as of April 22, 2026, and the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions as of April 20, 2026. Committee members must hold a vote to move these bills forward, but most legislation never receives a committee vote and expires without further action. This lack of committee movement is the primary obstacle for the proposal.
