What’s happening with GOSAFE Act?

The GOSAFE Act remains in the House Committee on the Judiciary as of April 8, 2025. The committee members must act next to hold a vote, but most bills fail because they never receive a committee hearing. This effort faces the same hurdle as the previous versions that expired in 2024.
