What’s happening with Fix Our Forests Act?
The Fix Our Forests Act is currently stalled in the Senate as of February 2027, with the last action on the active vehicle S. 1462 occurring on October 26, 2025. The Senate must now schedule a vote to advance the bill, but the requirement for 60 votes remains a significant hurdle. Historically, most bills that pass the House fail to receive a vote in the Senate, making it unlikely that this effort will move forward.
