What’s happening with SAFE through Medicare Act?
The SAFE through Medicare Act is currently in the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the House Committee on Ways and Means as of May 11, 2026. Committee leaders must schedule a vote for the bill to advance, but most bills never receive a committee vote and expire without further action. This proposal faces the same hurdle as the vast majority of legislation that remains in committee.
