What’s happening with Nurse Staffing Standards for Hospital Patient Safety and Quality Care Act of 2025?
The Nurse Staffing Standards for Hospital Patient Safety and Quality Care Act of 2025, known as H.R. 3415, has remained in the House committees on Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means since May 13, 2025. The committees must take action to advance the bill, but the binding constraint is that most legislation fails to receive a committee vote. This lack of progress is common because the vast majority of bills never move past the committee stage.
