What’s happening with BABIES Act?
The BABIES Act, introduced as S. 1598 on May 4, 2025, remains in the Senate Committee on Finance. The committee members must act next to move the bill forward, but most bills fail because they never receive a committee vote. This effort has seen no recorded action since May 4, 2025, which makes its path forward difficult based on historical patterns.
