What’s happening with Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act?
As of June 2026, the Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act remains stalled in the House Committee on Education and Workforce and the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. The committee members must choose to hold a vote to advance these bills, but historical data shows that most bills never receive a committee vote and die in this stage. This lack of action is the primary barrier to progress for the legislation.
