What’s happening with Fair Repair Act?

The Fair Repair Act remains in the House Committee on Energy and Commerce as of February 4, 2026. Committee leaders must schedule a vote or hearing to move the bill forward, but the primary constraint is that most federal legislation dies in committee without ever receiving a vote. This bill has seen no action since February 4, 2026, which is consistent with the typical path for most proposed laws.
