Bill filed: H.R. 22 (119th) is the SAVE Act, sponsored by Rep. Roy. A more precise introduction day was not recorded in this pass.
Stalled no milestone activity in 6 months
Linked bills: H.R. 22 (119th Congress)
Why In progress: Roy is the sponsor of H.R. 22 (119th), the SAVE Act, and has said the House passed it (campaign text quoted by Ballotpedia, Nov 20, 2025). This pass did not verify enactment into law, so the milestone stops at House passage and the status stays in progress. (batch1-research-2026-11-10, 2026-11-10 14:12:39 UTC)
