What’s happening with Access Technology Affordability Act of 2025?
The Access Technology Affordability Act is currently stalled in the House Committee on Ways and Means as of February 23, 2025, and the Senate Committee on Finance as of May 21, 2025. Committee members must choose to hold a vote to move these bills forward, but most legislation fails because committees do not take action. This pattern of inaction has been the primary barrier for this proposal since the previous versions expired in 2023.
