What’s happening with One Subject at a Time Act?

H.R. 4324 remains in the House Committee on the Judiciary as of July 9, 2025. The committee members must act next to hold a vote, but the binding constraint is that most bills never receive a committee vote. Historical data shows that committee inaction is the primary way most legislation ends without reaching the floor.
