What’s happening with WIPPES Act?
The WIPPES Act, known as S. 1092, passed the Senate on March 23, 2026, and now sits at the House desk. The House must schedule a vote for the bill to move forward, but House leadership controls the timing of all floor votes. While the bill has cleared the Senate, most legislation that passes one chamber does not become law because the other chamber often fails to act.
