What’s happening with Enhancing Geothermal Production on Federal Lands Act?
The House Committee on Natural Resources voted to advance H.R. 5576 on March 4, 2026, but the bill has seen no further movement since that date. The House committee must now decide whether to send the bill to the full chamber for a vote. While this bill reached a committee vote, most legislation fails to progress further because the vast majority of bills never receive a vote at all.
