What’s happening with Recycling and Composting Accountability Act?
As of May 13, 2026, H.R. 4109 is under review by the full House committee after a subcommittee vote. The full committee must now decide whether to advance the bill, but most legislation fails because committees do not take action. This effort is in the early stages of the process and faces the same hurdle as the expired H.R. 4040 from 2023.
