What’s happening with POWER Act of 2025?
The POWER Act of 2025 passed the House on January 15, 2025, but the bill has seen no action in the Senate since August 2026. The Senate must now choose to schedule a vote for the bill to move forward, though the need for 60 votes remains a major hurdle. History shows that most bills passed by one chamber fail to become law because the other chamber often chooses not to schedule them for a vote.
