as proposed for the US by the Sunshine Protection bill (H.R. 139).
I believe the bill, or Act, is titled (may be cited as) Sunshine
Protection Act of 2025
The House of Representatives has passed H.R. 139:
H.R. 139 (EH) - Sunshine Protection Act of 2025
https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/BILLS-119hr139eh
The bill is now Introduced to the Senate as:
S. 29 (IS) - Sunshine Protection Act of 2025
https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/BILLS-119s29is
Legally they are two separate bills. Follow the first one for the 10
actions taken so far on H.R. 139. Citing S. 29 would lead to a bill that
has not progressed. (It still can, separately from H.R. 139, but
probably won't since H.R. 139 has reached the same point in the senate.)
At this point the last action on H.R. 139 was "referred to the (Senate)
Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation" on 7/15/2026. The
committee did not deal with the bill during last week's markup session.
The calendar has not been released for the next markup session in the
committee (which would be the next time the bill could progress).
