What’s happening with Occupational Therapy Mental Health Parity Act?
The Occupational Therapy Mental Health Parity Act is represented by S. 2847, which has remained in the Senate Committee on Finance since September 16, 2025. The Senate committee members must act next to move the bill forward, but the binding constraint is that most bills never receive a committee vote. This lack of action is the standard way that most legislation ends in Congress.
