What’s happening with Safe Step Act?
The Safe Step Act remains stalled in the House Committee on Education and Workforce as of June 2026, with no action taken since September 18, 2025. The House committee members must choose to hold a vote to move the bill forward, but most bills fail to receive such a vote and die in committee. While the Senate version saw a hearing on March 18, 2026, the lack of movement in the House serves as the primary barrier to progress.
