What’s happening with 21st Century Worker Act?
The 21st Century Worker Act is currently stalled in the Senate Committee on Finance after being referred there on March 4, 2026. The committee members must now decide whether to hold a vote on the bill, but most legislation fails because committees choose not to take any action at all. This bill has seen no movement since March 4, 2026, which follows the typical pattern for most proposals that never reach the Senate floor.
