What’s happening with WORK to Save Lives Act?
The WORK to Save Lives Act is stalled in the House Committee on Education and Workforce as of June 9, 2026, and the Senate version remains in committee following hearings on March 18, 2026. Committee members must act to advance these bills, but the binding constraint is that most legislation fails to receive a committee vote. History shows that committee inaction is the standard way most bills end their lifecycle.
