What’s happening with Enhancing Southbound Inspections to Combat Cartels Act?
The Enhancing Southbound Inspections to Combat Cartels Act is currently represented by H.R. 6907, which has been in the Subcommittee on Transportation and Maritime Security since December 18, 2025. A House committee must now decide whether to hold a vote on the bill, but most legislation fails because committees choose not to act. Given that no progress has occurred since December 18, 2025, the bill faces the common hurdle of committee inaction.
