What’s happening with Military Spouse Hiring Act?
The Military Spouse Hiring Act is currently in the House Committee on Ways and Means as of March 10, 2025, and the Senate Committee on Finance as of March 12, 2025. Committee members must act next to hold a vote, but the binding constraint is that most bills fail because they never receive a committee hearing. History shows that committee inaction is the most common way for legislation to end without a full vote.
