What’s happening with Jobs in the Woods Act?
The Jobs in the Woods Act remains stalled in the House Committee on Education and Workforce as of June 2025, with no action taken since July 20, 2025. Committee members must review the bill to allow it to move forward, but historical data shows that most bills never receive a committee vote. This lack of committee action is the primary reason most legislative proposals do not become law.
