HR7928 (Thermal Runaway Reduction Act) is an early-stage bill mandating DOT rulemaking on lithium-ion battery transport safety — specifically a 30% SOC cap and new impact test. Introduced by Rep. Titus (D-NV), it has been referred to two committees with no further action since March 12, 2026. No funding authorized. Market impact is procedural: the bill triggers a DOT rulemaking process within 2 years, not immediate operational changes. Battery shippers (FDX, UPS) face compliance costs. Battery makers (TSLA, GM, QS, ENVX) face logistics adjustments; QS could see relative advantage if its solid-state chemistry reduces thermal runaway risk. ALB is definitionally excluded. Passage probability is low for 119th Congress given early stage, no cosponsors, and divided government.
