The ROAD to Housing Act will help our country increase housing supply. This legislation includes my Streamlining Rural Housing Act, which will specifically increase housing supply in rural parts of Nebraska. This legislation is commonsense and bipartisan. It should be signed into law.

Ricketts said the ROAD to Housing Act and his Streamlining Rural Housing Act would increase housing supply, including in rural Nebraska, and called for the legislation to be signed into law after Senate passage.

Mr. Moran, for himself, Mrs. Shaheen, Mr. Ricketts, and Mr. Gallego, introduced the following bill. This Act may be cited as the 'Streamlining Rural Housing Act of 2025.'

Ricketts took concrete legislative action by joining the introduction of the standalone Streamlining Rural Housing Act, a component later reflected in the ROAD to Housing Act text.

Latest Action: Senate - 07/23/2025 Read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. This bill has the status Introduced.

The standalone Streamlining Rural Housing Act advanced only to referral to the Senate Banking Committee and had not itself passed or become law, so this supports effort but not fulfillment by enactment.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

The promised outcome was enactment of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, including the Streamlining Rural Housing Act. As of the current federal record, the ROAD to Housing Act remained introduced/on the Senate calendar, the House counterpart had passed only the House, and the standalone Streamlining Rural Housing Act remained introduced and referred to committee. Ricketts did take a serious legislative step by joining the introduction of the standalone Streamlining Rural Housing Act, a named component of the promise, but the enactment outcome had not occurred during his current Senate term.
