Passage outlook

Likely to pass because it's a government bill, the government holds a majority.

Adjusted for this bill's current pace: 45–50% (the unadjusted historical base rate for comparable federal bills is 79%). It has gone quiet at this stage, so the adjusted range sits entirely below the historical rate.

A transparent, rule-based outlook from bill type, stage, and verified government standing — not a guaranteed prediction.
