Passage outlook
Likely to pass because it's a government bill, the government holds a majority.
Historically 75–85% of comparable federal bills became law (base rate 79%, n=266).
A transparent, rule-based outlook from bill type, stage, and verified government standing — not a guaranteed prediction.
