What’s happening with YALI Act of 2025?
The YALI Act is active through S. 2236, which reached the Senate Legislative Calendar on February 9, 2026. The Senate must now hold a floor vote to advance the bill, but the binding constraint is that Senate leadership determines the schedule for limited floor time. While being reported out of committee is a significant milestone that many bills fail to achieve, most legislation does not receive a final vote.
