What’s happening with PROTECT Act of 2025?

The PROTECT Act of 2025, known as S. 1967, has remained in the Committee on Indian Affairs since June 4, 2025. The Senate committee must hold a vote to move the bill forward, but most bills in Congress never receive a committee vote and die through inaction. This pattern of committee silence is the standard way that the vast majority of legislation ends.
