What’s happening with Honoring our K9 Heroes Act?
The Honoring our K9 Heroes Act is represented by H.R. 3144, which has been held in the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform since April 30, 2025. The committee members must take action to move the bill forward, but the binding constraint is that most bills fail because they never receive a committee vote. This lack of action is the standard way that the vast majority of legislation ends in Congress.
