What happens next

  1. Majority leadership can bring up the motion to reconsider and hold another cloture vote (60 votes needed).
  2. If cloture passes, the Senate debates and votes on the bill (the Banking Committee reported it with a substitute).
  3. The House and Senate must agree on identical text.
  4. The President signs it, and the effective-date clock below starts.

Effective-date calculator ("X days after enactment")

Under the House-passed text (engrossed July 2025), key deadlines run from the date of enactment. Pick a hypothetical signing date to see them. The Senate substitute may change these periods; we haven't verified its timing provisions.
