What’s happening with American Families United Act?
The American Families United Act is currently stalled in the House Committee on the Judiciary, where it has remained without action since March 25, 2025. The committee members must choose to hold a vote to move the bill forward, but most legislation in Congress dies in committee without ever receiving a vote. This pattern of inaction is the standard outcome for the vast majority of bills introduced in the House.
