What’s happening with WISE Act?
The WISE Act is represented by H.R. 8459, which was sent to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure on April 21, 2026. The committee members must now decide whether to hold a hearing or a vote on the bill. Most bills do not receive a committee vote and die due to inaction, so this step is a significant hurdle for the proposal.
