What’s happening with Federal Lands and Waters Leasing Transparency Act?
The Federal Lands and Waters Leasing Transparency Act, introduced as H.R. 1194, has remained in the House Committee on Natural Resources and the House Committee on the Judiciary since February 10, 2025. The chairs of these committees must choose to hold a vote for the bill to move forward, but most bills in Congress never receive such a vote. This lack of committee action is the standard way that most legislation ends without reaching the floor.
