A bill titled the End of GSE Conservatorship Preparation Act of 2025 was introduced in the House of Representatives. It has been referred to the House Committee on Financial Services.
Why it matters: This is a procedural step in a long-standing policy debate. It does not immediately change how Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac operate, nor does it release them from government control. Its significance lies in setting a legislative path for a potential future exit, which has been a subject of discussion for over a decade. Until passed by both chambers and signed by the President, it has no legal effect.
