What’s happening with Driving Forward Act?
The Driving Forward Act is represented by S. 1284, which has been in the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation since April 2, 2025. The committee members must act next to move the bill forward, but the binding constraint is that most bills fail because committees do not hold a vote on them. This outcome is common as the vast majority of legislation never receives a committee vote.
