What’s happening with Billion Dollar Boondoggle Act of 2025?

The Billion Dollar Boondoggle Act of 2025, known as H.R. 1722, remains in the House committee stage after a unanimous vote to report the bill on March 17, 2026. The House committee must now take further action to move the bill to the floor for a vote. While the bill has bipartisan support, most legislation fails because committees do not take final action, and this bill has seen no progress since June 2026.
