What’s happening with PEARL Act?
The PEARL Act passed the House on November 19, 2025, but the bill has seen no action in the Senate for seven months. The Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs must act to move the bill forward, though the need for 60 votes remains a significant hurdle. History shows that many bills passed by the House never receive a vote in the Senate.
