What’s happening with Thermal Runaway Reduction Act of 2026?
The Thermal Runaway Reduction Act of 2026, known as H.R. 7928, has remained in the House Transportation and Infrastructure and Energy and Commerce committees since March 11, 2026. Committee leaders must schedule a vote to move the bill forward, but most legislation fails to receive a committee vote and dies in this stage. This lack of action follows the expiration of a similar bill, H.R. 9588, which ended its session on September 12, 2024.
