This bill died with 118th Congress. It reached “Passed Senate” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Plain-language change summary

The updated version of the bill adds an official designation that it was passed by the Senate on December 5, 2024. It also includes an attestment from the Secretary. In contrast, the earlier text contained sections that outlined modifications to findings related to the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act of 1977, including language that specifies “States and Tribal jurisdictions” rather than listing the “50 States, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.” This shift emphasizes the inclusion of Tribal jurisdictions in the context of earthquake hazards reduction.
