The House Committee Repository says H.R. 5402, the Credit Access and Inclusion Act of 2025, was ordered to be reported favorably by the House Financial Services Committee by a recorded vote of 28 yeas and 23 nays on June 30, 2026. The same page lists FC-296 as the motion to report favorably ANS to H.R. 5402.
Assessments
No federal law has been enacted allowing Americans to build credit through on-time rent payments. The relevant 119th Congress legislation has only reached introduction/referral in the Senate and committee reporting progress in the House, with no House passage, Senate passage, presidential signature, or implementation. The Senate bill is sponsored by Tim Scott and does not list Adam Schiff as sponsor or cosponsor, so there is not enough candidate-specific contribution to credit delivery or an effort badge.
