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 known as the Improving Access to Workers' Compensation for Injured Federal Workers Act of 2025. It updates federal workers' compensation laws to cover services provided by nurse practitioners and physician assistants. The text defines these new additions as "other eligible provider" types within their legal scope of practice. It also updates related sections of the law so these providers can treat injured workers, participate in claims, and be involved in medical evaluations. Finally, the bill requires the Secretary of Labor to finalize rules for these changes within six months of the bill's enactment.
