One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with this effort?
The Senate passed S.Res. 290 on June 24, 2025, but the measure has seen no action in the House since that date. House leadership must now schedule a vote for the resolution to move forward. Historically, measures that pass one chamber often fail to advance further because floor votes depend entirely on the discretion of leadership.
