What’s happening with It’s About Time Act?

The It is About Time Act, known as H.R. 5613, has remained in the House Budget and Oversight and Government Reform committees since September 25, 2025. Members of these committees must take action for the bill to move forward, but most bills fail because committees do not hold a vote. This lack of action is the standard way that most legislation ends in Congress.
