What’s happening with NICS Data Reporting Act of 2026?
The House passed H.R. 2267 on May 12, 2026, and the bill now sits in the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Senate must decide to schedule a vote, but the 60 vote threshold for advancement remains a major hurdle. History shows that the Senate often takes no action on bills passed by the House, so this effort faces a high chance of stalling.
