What’s happening with FAMILY Act?
The FAMILY Act is currently H.R. 5390 and has been sitting in the House Committee on Ways and Means since September 15, 2025. The committee members must act next to hold a vote, but the binding constraint is that most bills never receive a committee vote at all. Historical data shows that committee inaction is the standard way most legislation ends without reaching the floor.
