What’s happening with 21st Century Entrepreneurship Act?
The 21st Century Entrepreneurship Act remains in the House Committee on Small Business and the Committee on Education and Workforce as of April 20, 2026, and the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship as of March 17, 2026. Committee members must act next to hold a vote on these bills to move them forward. History shows that most bills never receive a committee vote, which is the primary reason this effort has not progressed.
