Table of Contents
The House of Representatives voted 48 to 0 to report the HERO Act (H.R. 6900) with amendments. This procedural step means the full House is now scheduled to vote on the bill.
Why it matters: This is a procedural milestone, not a change in current law. It signals that the House is moving the bill forward for a final vote. Until the full chamber passes it and the Senate acts, no new requirements or benefits exist.
Who it affects
- Large employers who may face new leave and workplace requirements if the bill eventually becomes law.
