What happens when a bill is on pigeonhold?
When a bill is on "pigeonhold," it means that its progress through the legislative process has been temporarily halted or delayed, often due to a lack of support or priority. This can occur in committee or during floor discussions, and the bill may be set aside without a formal vote. While on pigeonhold, the bill can be revisited later, depending on political dynamics or changes in stakeholder interest. Ultimately, it may either be revived for further consideration or effectively dismissed.
