Update the legal requirements for the administration of the Act of June 22 1948.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with this effort?
S. 638 reached the Senate floor calendar on October 26, 2025, after being reported by committee. The full Senate must now vote on the bill, but the binding constraint is the limited floor time controlled by leadership. While reaching the calendar is a significant milestone that most bills do not achieve, the lack of action since October 26, 2025, shows that securing a final vote remains a difficult task.
