What’s happening with REDUCE Act?
The REDUCE Act, known as S. 3192, remains in the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources following a hearing on April 14, 2026. The committee members must decide whether to advance the bill, but most legislation fails because committees choose not to hold a vote. This bill faces the same hurdle as the expired S. 4411 from May 22, 2024, as inaction is the most common way for proposals to end.
