One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with this effort?
The bill H.R. 7546 remains in the House Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means committees as of June 11, 2026. Committee leaders must decide to hold a vote to move the proposal forward, but most bills fail to receive this action. This effort is stalled because the vast majority of legislative proposals never advance past the committee stage.
