What’s happening with GRADUATE Act?
The GRADUATE Act is currently H.R. 7536, which has been held in the House Committee on Ways and Means since February 11, 2026. The committee members must act to move the bill forward, but the binding constraint is that most bills fail because they never receive a committee vote. This pattern of inaction is the standard way most legislation ends in Congress.
