What’s happening with National Plan for Epilepsy Act?
The National Plan for Epilepsy Act remains stalled in the House Committee on Energy and Commerce as of June 2025. Members of this committee must hold a vote to move the bill forward, but the binding constraint is that most legislation never receives a committee hearing. This lack of action is the standard outcome for the vast majority of bills introduced in Congress.
