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.

What this bill would do

This bill is called the "PARTNER with ASEAN, CERN, and PIF Act." It allows the President to extend the provisions of the International Organizations Immunities Act to three specific groups. These groups are the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), and the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF). The extensions would happen under terms and conditions determined by the President.
