What’s happening with American Family Act?
The American Family Act remains in the House Committee on Ways and Means and the Senate Committee on Finance as of April 8, 2025. Committee leaders must decide to hold a vote to move these bills forward, but most legislation dies in committee without ever receiving a hearing. This effort has seen no recorded action since April 8, 2025, which follows the typical pattern for the vast majority of bills introduced in Congress.
