What’s happening with Forage Fish Conservation Act of 2025?
The Forage Fish Conservation Act of 2025 is stalled in the House Committee on Natural Resources where it has remained without action since June 3, 2025. The committee members must hold a vote to move the bill forward, but most bills fail because they never receive a committee vote. This lack of progress follows a similar pattern from the 2024 session when the previous version of the bill expired without a vote.
