What’s happening with RIDE Act?
The RIDE Act is currently represented by S. 1281, which has remained in the Senate Committee on the Judiciary since April 2, 2025. The committee members must choose to hold a vote to move the bill forward, but most legislation fails because committees do not take action. This lack of committee movement is the standard outcome for the vast majority of bills introduced in Congress.
