What’s happening with SEPSIS Act?
The S. 1929 bill has remained in the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions since June 2, 2025. The committee members must act next to hold a vote, but most bills fail because committees do not take action on them. This effort has seen no progress since June 2, 2025, which follows the common pattern of legislation stalling before reaching a full vote.
