What’s happening with Standard FEES Act?

The Standard FEES Act, known as H.R. 1731, was reported by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on February 3, 2026. The House floor must now vote on the bill, but the binding constraint is that leadership decides which bills receive limited floor time. While reaching this stage is a significant milestone that most legislation fails to achieve, the bill has seen no recorded action since February 3, 2026.
