What’s happening with PROTECT Act of 2025?
The PROTECT Act of 2025, known as H.R. 3773, has remained in the House Judiciary and Natural Resources committees since June 4, 2025. House committee members must act next to hold a vote, but the bill faces the common reality that most legislation never receives a committee hearing. This lack of action is the standard way that most bills end their life cycle in Congress.
