What’s happening with Passport Sanity Act?
The Passport Sanity Act is represented by H.R. 1139, which has remained in the House Committee on Foreign Affairs since February 6, 2025. The committee members must act to advance the bill, but the binding constraint is that most bills fail because they never receive a committee vote.
