What’s happening with this effort?

H.J.Res. 54 remains in the House Committee on the Judiciary as of February 11, 2025. The committee members must act next to hold a vote, but the binding constraint is that most bills never receive a committee vote. History shows that committee inaction is the standard way most legislative proposals end.
