What’s happening with Hospital Inpatient Services Modernization Act?
The Hospital Inpatient Services Modernization Act passed the House but has remained stalled in the Senate Committee on Finance since December 1, 2025. The Senate must now take action to move the bill forward, though the 60 vote threshold for advancement remains a significant hurdle. History shows that many bills passed by the House never receive a vote in the Senate, making passage unlikely.
