One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with SECURE Act?
The SECURE Act, introduced as S. 2106, has remained in the Senate Judiciary Committee since June 17, 2025. Members of that committee must act next to hold a vote, but most bills fail because they never receive a committee hearing. This lack of action is the standard outcome for the vast majority of legislation in Congress.
