What’s happening with SERVICE Act?
The SERVICE Act is stalled in the House Committee on Education and Workforce where it has remained without action since April 9, 2025. The committee members must hold a vote to move the bill forward, but most bills never receive a committee vote and die at this stage. This pattern of inaction is the most common way legislation ends in Congress.
