Cleared committee, waiting for its first floor vote

A committee approved it and it is on the calendar of the chamber it started in.

This is further than most bills get, and still no promise of a vote: the calendar is a queue, and the majority leadership decides what is called. A bill can sit here until the Congress ends.

The bill establishes procedural rules for legal actions brought by those aggrieved by NICS violations. It requires courts to hold expedited hearings within 30 days of an action being brought. Additionally, the bill shifts the burden of proof to the respondent to prove an individual's ineligibility.
