Question for those that know legislative procedure in Congress. The Bill passed the house. In the next legislature can the Senate still vote on that bill or is it dead? I do not know.

It's dead.

No Congress can bind a future Congress. That applies to bills, too. No prior Congress can make a future Congress vote on their bills. The future Congress must reintroduce the bill as its own bill.
