did the senate pass the save act

No, the Senate has not passed the SAVE Act.
Current status (as of February 2026)
- The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, H.R. 22 in the 119th Congress, passed the House of Representatives on April 10, 2025 and was then sent to the Senate.
- Congressional records list its latest formal action as âReceived in the Senateâ on April 10, 2025, with no subsequent Senate passage recorded.
- Advocacy and explainer pieces discussing the SAVE Act and related proposals still describe the measure as a Houseâpassed bill facing a Senate hurdle, not as enacted law.
Whatâs getting people confused right now?
- In February 2026, the House passed a different but related bill , the âSAVE America Act,â which also deals with voter ID and proofâofâcitizenship rules.
- Some coverage and commentary refer to these as âSAVE Act 2.0,â which makes it easy to mix up whether the original SAVE Act itself cleared the Senate.
- Reporting on the SAVE America Act notes that it passed the House but explicitly says it is uncertain if or when the Senate will vote on it , and that Senate leaders currently lack the 60 votes needed to advance it.
Bottom line
- The original SAVE Act (H.R. 22, 119th Congress) has:
- Passed the House
- Been received in the Senate
- Not been recorded as passed by the Senate or enacted into law.
So if you see claims that âthe Senate passed the SAVE Act,â those are not supported by the official legislative record as of midâFebruary 2026.
