January 2026

To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to revoke the tax-exempt status of organizations that provide, or provide funding for, abortion.

This bill would remove the tax-exempt status from nonprofit organizations that perform abortions or financially support abortion services, meaning these organizations would have to pay federal income taxes like regular businesses. The change would affect hospitals, clinics, and charitable groups that currently don't pay taxes because they serve the public good, potentially reducing their funding and ability to operate. Religious organizations, foundations, and other nonprofits that fund abortion-related activities would also lose their tax benefits under this proposal.

This bill would allow working people with disabilities to keep their Medicaid health coverage even if their earnings increase, rather than losing benefits once they earn too much money.

The legislation would primarily affect energy companies and protect communities and taxpayers from bearing the costs of environmental cleanup.

SPUR Housing Act

The SPUR Housing Act aims to increase the supply of affordable housing and streamline the development process for new residential construction.

The changes would primarily affect farmers, landowners, and communities in flood-prone areas, along with environmental conservation efforts.

Federal Workforce Early Separation Incentives Act

The bill would allow the federal government to offer buyout packages and early retirement incentives to encourage federal employees to voluntarily leave their jobs, helping agencies reduce their workforce without layoffs.

This impacts voters, politicians, and anyone concerned with fair representation in Congress.

End PG&E Lobbying Act

This bill would restrict Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E), a major California utility, from spending money to influence government policy through lobbying activities. The measure targets a specific company rather than utilities broadly, likely in response to PG&E's role in major wildfires and concerns about how the company uses shareholder money for political influence. If passed, it would prevent PG&E from hiring lobbyists or funding political advocacy efforts while the company operates under bankruptcy or regulatory oversight.

Language Access for All Act of 2026

This bill would require federal agencies to provide documents, services, and assistance in multiple languages to help people who don't speak English fluently access government programs and benefits.

Disapproving the action of the District of Columbia Council in approving the D.C. Income and Franchise Tax Conformity and Revision Temporary Amendment Act of 2025.

This joint resolution nullifies legislation enacted by the Council of the District of Columbia (DC) on December 20, 2025, titled DC Income and Franchise Tax Conformity and Revision Temporary Amendment Act of 2025. The nullification reinstates certain DC tax code provisions that were in place before the enactment of the DC legislation and that address, among other things, the standard tax deduction, taxation of tipped wages, and depreciation of qualified property. As background, DC automatically adopts, as DC law, changes to federal tax law (known as rolling conformity). Upon enactment of H.R.1 (commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act), its tax provisions became DC law, including provisions that increase the standard tax deduction, exempt tips from taxable income, and provide for an elective 100% depreciation allowance for nonresidential real property. The DC legislation subsequently decoupled the DC tax code from these and other tax provisions that originated in H.R.1, and it amended several other provisions in the DC tax code, including restoring the DC child tax credit.

School Bus Stop-Arm Safety Camera Act

The bill would allow school districts to install cameras on school buses that record when drivers illegally pass stopped buses, helping enforce traffic laws that protect children getting on and off buses. These camera recordings could be used as evidence to ticket or fine drivers who violate stop-arm laws, which currently exist in most states but are often ignored. The measure aims to reduce dangerous traffic violations around school buses and improve safety for students and bus drivers.

QR Act

The bill's title "QR Act" is too vague to determine its specific purpose from the name alone. Based on its referral to the Judiciary and Homeland Security committees, it likely addresses immigration policy, though the exact provisions—whether related to border security, visa processing, deportation procedures, or another immigration matter—cannot be determined without seeing the full bill text. The measure is currently under review by both committees to determine which parts fall under each committee's authority.

Maintain Access to Vital Social Security Services Act of 2026

This bill would require the Social Security Administration to maintain adequate staffing and office locations to ensure people can access benefits and services without excessive delays or closures.

Territorial SBA Loan Guaranty Adjustment Act of 2026

This bill would adjust how Small Business Administration loans work in U.S. territories like Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, likely by changing loan terms, guaranty amounts, or eligibility rules to better support small business owners in these areas. The changes would affect small business owners in territories who rely on SBA loans to start or expand their companies, as well as the lenders who provide these loans.

CHAT Act

The CHAT Act appears to address commercial practices related to artificial intelligence or digital communications, though the specific details would depend on the bill's full text.

SBIR Administrative Funding Act

The bill would provide additional federal funding to cover the administrative costs of the Small Business Innovation Research program, which helps small companies develop new technologies and innovations.

The change would affect small businesses that participate in the program and the federal agencies that oversee it.

Lobbyist Loophole Closure Act

This bill would close legal gaps that allow certain people who influence government policy to avoid registering as lobbyists, making it harder for them to operate behind the scenes without public disclosure. The changes would likely require more people who are paid to persuade lawmakers to officially register and report who they work for and how much they spend, giving voters and watchdog groups better visibility into who is trying to influence Congress.

It aims to help these workers and businesses recover from economic losses caused by factors like supply chain problems or sudden price drops. The measure is currently being reviewed by lawmakers who focus on forestry issues.

Buying American Cotton Act of 2026

This bill would likely use tax incentives or penalties to encourage or require the purchase of American-grown cotton instead of imported cotton. It could affect textile manufacturers, clothing companies, and potentially consumers by making domestically-produced cotton products more competitive in price or by imposing costs on those who use foreign cotton. The goal appears to be supporting American cotton farmers and domestic textile production.

Nicholas Dockery Medal of Honor Act

Nicholas Dockery Medal of Honor Act This bill authorizes the President to award the Medal of Honor to Nicholas Dockery (formerly known as Kareem N.

UBER Act

I don't have enough information to write an accurate summary. The bill title "UBER Act" and the subjects listed as "None" don't provide sufficient details about what this legislation would actually do.

Language Access to Gun Violence Prevention Strategies Act of 2026

This bill would require that information about gun violence prevention programs and resources be made available in multiple languages so that non-English speakers can access these services and understand safety initiatives.

The measure affects how the government accounts for military expenses and could influence debates over defense budgets and military interventions.

The PRESS Act would protect journalists and news organizations from being forced to reveal their sources or hand over unpublished materials during criminal investigations and legal proceedings. The law would establish a federal "shield" that allows reporters to keep confidential sources secret unless the government can prove the information is essential to a case and cannot be obtained any other way. This would affect news organizations, law enforcement agencies, and anyone involved in legal cases where journalists might be subpoenaed for their reporting.

MOLD Act

The MOLD Act addresses mold-related issues affecting military facilities and service members' living conditions. The bill likely aims to establish standards for mold inspection, remediation, and prevention in military housing and buildings to protect the health and safety of active-duty personnel, veterans, and their families.

The changes would help reduce confusion and barriers that currently prevent some veterans from getting the assistance they've earned.

PUBLIC SAFETY Act

Without seeing the bill's specific provisions, this legislation appears to address public safety funding and policy, likely involving budget allocations and law enforcement matters that fall under both the Appropriations and Judiciary committees' oversight.

Supporting Teachers Through Tax Fairness Act

This bill would likely provide tax relief or deductions for teachers to help offset their classroom expenses and improve their financial situation.

The proposal is currently being reviewed by the House committee that handles tax policy.

No Private Bounty Hunters for Immigration Enforcement Act

This bill would prohibit private companies from being hired to enforce immigration laws or apprehend people for immigration violations, keeping those duties exclusively with government agencies.

The proposal would allow film and photography companies to shoot commercial movies and TV shows on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol building, something that is currently restricted. This would affect production companies and filmmakers who want to use the iconic Capitol as a backdrop for their projects, while also potentially generating revenue for the government through filming permits and fees. The change would need to go through Congress's committee process before it could become law.

Agriculture and National Security Act of 2026

This bill would likely strengthen U.S. agricultural production and food supply chains to reduce dependence on foreign sources and protect national security interests.

This bill would expand and improve programs that plant and maintain wildflowers and native plants along highways and roadsides to help bees, butterflies, and other pollinators survive. The changes would likely make it easier for states and transportation departments to participate in these programs and could provide more funding or resources to support pollinator-friendly landscaping instead of traditional mowing. This affects both environmental conservation efforts and how transportation agencies manage the land alongside roads.

Food Rescue Act

The Food Rescue Act would likely make it easier for farmers, restaurants, and grocery stores to donate food that's still safe to eat but can't be sold, by reducing their legal liability if someone gets sick from the donated food. The bill aims to reduce food waste while helping food banks and charities feed hungry people in their communities. It would affect food businesses, nonprofits that distribute food, and people who rely on food assistance programs.

Affordable Housing Guarantee Act

This bill would guarantee affordable housing options for military members and their families, likely by creating programs or funding to help service members access or afford homes near military bases. The measure aims to address housing costs that can strain military families' budgets and make it harder for the armed forces to recruit and retain personnel. It is currently moving through the House or Senate committee process for further review.

PORCUPINE Act

The bill's vague title makes its specific purpose unclear, but based on its referral to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, it likely addresses some aspect of international relations or foreign policy. Without access to the bill's actual text or more detailed subject matter, the most that can be said is that it probably involves diplomatic, trade, or security matters affecting U.S. relationships with other countries. To understand what the bill would actually do, you would need to review the full legislative text or committee materials.

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives with respect to the use of artificial intelligence in the financial services and housing industries.

This Department of Agriculture (USDA) program supports innovative research and development of technology, research tools, and products to address long-term and high-risk challenges related to food and agriculture. The bill expands the program's goals to include water conservation; responding to greenhouse gas emissions; and resilience to drought, infectious diseases, and plant and animal pathogens and pests. The bill also expands the program's goals to include undertaking advanced research and development in areas in which industry by itself is not likely to do so because of economic cost. Further, the bill removes the current pilot program designation and requires USDA to establish and maintain an AGARDA staff. Finally, the bill allows USDA to use any unobligated USDA funds to implement the program.

McCarran-Ferguson Restoration Act

The legislation would restore certain antitrust exemptions for the insurance industry that were previously limited by court decisions, allowing insurance companies to work together on setting rates and sharing information without facing federal antitrust lawsuits. This would primarily affect insurance companies and potentially impact consumers through changes in how insurance premiums are priced and what coverage options are available. The bill aims to give insurers more flexibility in their business practices while reducing their legal exposure under federal competition laws.

To amend title XIX of the Social Security Act to establish a definition of essential health system in statute and for other related purposes.

This bill would create an official legal definition of what counts as an "essential health system" under Medicaid, the government health insurance program for low-income Americans. The change would help clarify which health services and facilities must be included in state Medicaid programs and could affect how states organize and fund their healthcare systems for millions of beneficiaries.

Shutdown Fairness Act

The bill would likely address how the federal government handles shutdowns—periods when Congress fails to pass a budget and agencies stop operating. Based on the committees involved, it probably proposes changes to shutdown procedures, compensation for affected workers, or rules for how government functions during these breaks. The measure would impact federal employees, military personnel, and potentially the public services they provide.

Merchant Codes Can Save Lives Act

This bill would require credit card companies to create separate merchant codes for gun and ammunition sellers, similar to how they already have codes for gas stations or grocery stores. The goal is to help law enforcement and financial institutions track suspicious purchasing patterns that might indicate illegal gun trafficking or mass violence planning. The change would affect credit card processors, gun retailers, and potentially law enforcement agencies that monitor financial transactions.

CLEAR Act

Without access to the specific bill text, the CLEAR Act appears to address commerce-related issues and has been sent to the House Judiciary Committee for review. Based on the title and committee assignment, it likely aims to clarify or streamline some aspect of business regulations or commercial practices, though the exact provisions would depend on the bill's specific language. To provide an accurate summary of what this bill would actually do, the full text would need to be reviewed.

Restore Trust in Congress Act

This bill aims to increase public confidence in Congress by establishing new rules and standards for how members conduct themselves and handle conflicts of interest.

The law would affect parents, guardians, abortion providers, and anyone else involved in helping minors access abortion services in other states.

American Decade of Sports Act

The bill aims to promote American sports and athletic programs, likely through federal support or coordination efforts that could affect athletes, sports organizations, and communities. Based on its referral to the Foreign Relations Committee, it probably includes international sports competition or diplomacy components, such as supporting U.S. athletes in global competitions or using sports as a tool for international engagement. The specific details of what funding or programs would be created depend on the bill's full text.

Power for the People Act of 2026

Based on the title and energy focus, this bill likely aims to expand access to affordable energy or shift power generation toward renewable sources and away from fossil fuels. The specific changes would depend on the bill's details, but it could affect energy companies, utility customers, and workers in both traditional and clean energy industries by altering how electricity is produced, distributed, or priced across the country.

Banning Perpetrators of Religious Persecution Act of 2026

This bill would prevent people who have persecuted others based on their religion from entering or staying in the United States, adding religious persecution to the list of reasons someone can be denied immigration benefits or entry. The law would affect foreign nationals accused of targeting individuals or groups because of their faith, potentially including government officials, military members, or others involved in religious discrimination abroad. Immigration officials would use this standard to review visa applications and deportation cases involving allegations of religious persecution.

A bill to reauthorize the West Valley demonstration project.

The bill would continue funding and operations for the West Valley demonstration project, a nuclear waste cleanup and research facility in New York that has been working to safely manage radioactive materials left over from nuclear fuel reprocessing.

Genomic Answers for Children’s Health Act of 2026

This bill would expand access to genetic testing and genomic analysis for children to help doctors diagnose rare diseases and genetic disorders earlier and more accurately. It likely aims to improve how pediatric patients receive genetic counseling and treatment by making these advanced tests more available through healthcare providers. The legislation would affect children with suspected genetic conditions, their families, and healthcare systems that provide diagnostic services.

Life at Conception Act of 2026

This bill would establish in federal law that human life begins at conception, which would likely restrict or ban abortion nationwide by defining a fertilized egg as a person with legal rights. The measure would affect women seeking abortion care, healthcare providers, and states that currently allow abortion, potentially overriding existing state laws that permit the procedure. This is a highly contested proposal that touches on fundamental questions about when life begins and reproductive rights.

Purple Heart Freedom to Work Act

This bill would allow Purple Heart recipients to earn income without losing their disability benefits, removing current limits that reduce or eliminate payments when veterans work. The change would help wounded veterans return to employment without facing a financial penalty, making it easier for them to support themselves while still receiving the compensation they've earned through their service.

SECURE Minerals Act of 2026

This bill would likely establish new policies to secure the supply of minerals critical for energy production and storage, such as those needed for batteries, solar panels, and wind turbines.

The bill would affect energy companies, mining operations, and potentially consumers who rely on renewable energy technology.

Grave Injustice Parity Act

This bill would change how the federal government taxes certain types of income or financial transactions to create more equal treatment across different groups or situations. The specific details of what income or transactions would be affected depend on the bill's full text, but the goal appears to be eliminating what supporters see as unfair differences in the current tax code. The changes would likely impact individuals or businesses that are currently taxed differently under existing law.

PATH to Education Act

This bill would likely improve pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure or safe routes to schools, making it easier and safer for students to walk or bike to class. The legislation would probably involve funding or requirements for states and local communities to build sidewalks, bike lanes, or traffic safety improvements near schools. Students, families, and communities with limited transportation options would be the main beneficiaries of these infrastructure upgrades.

Afterschool ACCESS Act

The proposal would create tax incentives for businesses and organizations that provide or support afterschool programs for children, making it more affordable for families to access these services. By offering tax credits or deductions, the bill aims to encourage employers and nonprofits to invest in afterschool care, which helps working parents while giving kids safe places to learn and develop skills outside of regular school hours.

To amend the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to repeal certain disclosure requirements related to conflict minerals, and for other purposes.

This bill repeals reporting requirements related to the use of certain minerals from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and the surrounding area by publicly traded companies. Currently, publicly traded companies must annually make disclosures if certain minerals (tin, tungsten, tantalum, or gold) are necessary to the functionality or production of a product manufactured by the company. As part of the reporting process, companies must determine if such minerals are from the DRC or the surrounding area and exercise due diligence to determine if the minerals are DRC conflict free, not found to be DRC conflict free, or are unable to be classified. ( DRC conflict free means the minerals do not finance or benefit armed groups in the DRC or an adjoining country.)

A bill to designate the portion of Interstate Route 680 in Omaha, Nebraska, as the "Hal Daub Freeway".

This bill designates a portion of Interstate Route 680 in Omaha, Nebraska, as the Hal Daub Freeway. Harold John Daub Jr. served in the House of Representatives from 1981-1989 and as the mayor of Omaha, Nebraska, from 1995-2001.

MOLD Act

The MOLD Act addresses mold contamination issues in military facilities and housing to protect the health and safety of service members and their families.

A bill to direct the United States Postal Service to designate a single, unique ZIP Code for Scotland, Connecticut.

The bill would require the U.S. Postal Service to assign Scotland, Connecticut its own unique ZIP Code instead of sharing one with another area. This change would give the town its own postal identity for mail delivery and address purposes. The measure primarily affects residents and businesses in Scotland, Connecticut who would receive mail under the new dedicated ZIP Code.

Sikh American Anti-Discrimination Act of 2026

This bill would protect Sikh Americans from discrimination in employment, housing, education, and public services by explicitly including them under federal civil rights laws. It aims to address discrimination based on religious practices like wearing turbans and uncut beards, which are important parts of the Sikh faith. The law would give Sikhs the same legal protections against discrimination that other religious and ethnic groups currently have.

Small Business Child Care Investment Act

The legislation would provide financial support and incentives to small businesses that offer child care services or help their employees access affordable child care. This would help small business owners attract and retain workers by reducing the burden of child care costs, while also expanding access to quality child care for working families. The bill aims to make it easier for small companies to invest in child care solutions without facing significant financial hardship.

Disabled Veterans Dignity Act of 2026

The legislation would improve benefits and services for veterans with disabilities, ensuring they receive dignified treatment and support from the Department of Veterans Affairs. The bill addresses how disabled veterans access healthcare, mental health services, and financial assistance, with the goal of reducing bureaucratic barriers and improving their overall quality of life. Veterans' Affairs Committee members have already held hearings to examine the bill's proposals.

Dietary Supplement Listing Act of 2026

The proposal would require dietary supplement manufacturers to register their products with the FDA and provide information about ingredients and safety data, similar to how prescription drugs are tracked. This would give the government better oversight of the supplement market and help ensure consumers know what they're buying, though it could increase costs for companies that make vitamins, minerals, and herbal products. The change would primarily affect supplement makers and consumers who use these products regularly.

DHS Use of Force Oversight Act

This bill would establish new oversight rules for how the Department of Homeland Security uses force during immigration enforcement operations, likely requiring better documentation, training, and accountability when agents use physical force against immigrants or during border enforcement activities. The legislation aims to ensure that DHS agents follow consistent standards and that there are clearer consequences when force is used improperly, affecting both immigration enforcement officers and the people they encounter during enforcement actions.

Defending American Property Abroad Act of 2026

Defending American Property Abroad Act of 2026 This bill authorizes the President to prohibit the entry of a vessel into the United States if the vessel has transited any U.S. port, harbor, or marine terminal that has been nationalized or expropriated (e.g., seized) by a Western Hemisphere country that has a free trade agreement with the United States. Under the bill, the President may prohibit the entry and operation of a vessel if it has called at any port, harbor, or marine terminal that was owned, held, or controlled by a U.S. entity or individual, but has been nationalized or expropriated by the government of a country that is located in the Western Hemisphere and has a free trade agreement in effect with the United States. The prohibition ends when the President determines that (1) the applicable country has restored ownership of the property that had been nationalized or expropriated, (2) the applicable country has provided mutually acceptable compensation for the nationalized or expropriated property, (3) the conditions for the prohibition are no longer satisfied, or (4) the dispute has been otherwise resolved to the satisfaction of the President. The bill permits certain foreign vessels that are otherwise prohibited from entering the United States under this bill or current law to enter if the vessel is experiencing an emergency (involving the vessel or an individual on the vessel) and in certain instances where access to a covered facility was granted by a U.S. property owner.

Immediate Access for the Terminally Ill Act

Immediate Access for the Terminally Ill Act This bill permits Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) beneficiaries with specified terminal illnesses to elect expedited payment of benefits in exchange for a reduction in the amount of their monthly benefit. Specifically, the bill requires the Social Security Administration (SSA) to establish a list of medical conditions that qualify an individual for expedited payment. These conditions must have no known cure, must involve a life expectancy of five years or less, and must be present on the most recent Compassionate Allowances list (a list of medical conditions that, by definition, meet the standards for SSDI benefits). The bill directs SSA to update the list every five years. Congress must approve each medical condition added to the list. Under the bill, individuals diagnosed with a specified terminal condition may elect to receive SSDI benefits beginning the month after the onset of disability. Under current law, individuals generally must wait five months after the onset of disability to begin receiving SSDI benefits. Individuals who opt to receive expedited payment must accept a 7% reduction in monthly benefits. Separately, the bill prohibits individuals receiving unemployment benefits from simultaneously receiving SSDI benefits. The bill also permits SSA to collect less than 100% of an overpaid Social Security beneficiary’s monthly benefit, so long as the collection amount is not less than 10% of their monthly benefit.

Ending Importation of Laundered Russian Oil Act

This bill would ban the United States from importing Russian oil that has been disguised or transferred through other countries to hide its origin, a practice known as "oil laundering." The measure aims to prevent Russia from evading existing sanctions by making it illegal to buy Russian petroleum products that have been obscured through international trade schemes, affecting oil companies, refineries, and potentially gas prices for American consumers.

SHIFT Act

The SHIFT Act addresses management and use of public lands and natural resources, though the specific details of what changes it would make are not clear from the title alone. Based on its referral to the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, the bill likely aims to adjust how the federal government handles activities like energy development, conservation, or resource extraction on publicly owned land. The legislation would affect federal land managers, energy companies, environmental groups, and communities that depend on public lands for recreation or economic activity.

SEPSIS Act

The proposal would improve how hospitals identify and treat sepsis, a life-threatening condition where the body's response to infection damages its own tissues, by requiring better training, faster testing, and clearer treatment guidelines for emergency room and hospital staff. This would affect patients who develop sepsis during hospital stays or emergency visits, as well as hospitals and healthcare workers who would need to implement new protocols. The goal is to reduce deaths and complications from sepsis, which kills thousands of Americans each year.

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that creators and digital workers, as a distinct and growing class of small businesses and independent economic contributors, deserve fair treatment, transparency, and economic opportunity in the modern platform-based economy.

This resolution expresses support for treating content creators and digital workers—like YouTubers, streamers, and freelancers who work through online platforms—fairly by ensuring they have access to transparent information about how platforms operate and better economic opportunities. The measure recognizes these workers as a growing group of small business owners who deserve protections and clarity similar to traditional employees or business owners. While it's a statement of intent rather than a law that would directly change rules, it signals that Congress believes digital platforms should treat creators more equitably.

Fast Track To and Through College Act

The proposal would create programs and pathways to help high school students earn college credits before graduation and move more quickly through college once enrolled, potentially reducing the time and cost of earning a degree. Students would benefit from opportunities to take college-level courses while still in high school and have those credits count toward their college degrees. The changes would affect high schools, colleges, and students seeking more affordable and efficient routes to completing their education.

Inspectors General Independence Act

This bill would strengthen the independence of federal inspectors general—officials who investigate waste, fraud, and abuse within government agencies—by limiting the president's ability to fire them without cause and requiring advance notice to Congress before any removal. The changes would make it harder for political leaders to dismiss these watchdogs for investigating problems they want to keep quiet, protecting their ability to do oversight work without fear of retaliation. The measure affects how federal agencies are monitored and could impact both government workers and the public by ensuring these internal investigators can operate more freely.

Federal Workforce Civics Competency and Accountability Act

This bill would require federal employees to demonstrate knowledge of civics and American government principles, likely through testing or training requirements. The legislation aims to ensure that people working in government understand how the political system functions and their role within it, affecting hundreds of thousands of federal workers across all agencies.

CRUISE Act

The CRUISE Act likely addresses military readiness, operations, or personnel matters within the armed forces, though the specific policy details would depend on the bill's actual provisions. Based on its status in committee review, it appears to be a defense-related measure that lawmakers are evaluating for potential passage. The bill would affect military personnel, defense operations, or national security procedures once enacted.

NASA Talent Exchange Program Act

This bill would create a program allowing NASA employees and scientists to temporarily work at private companies and universities, while those organizations' employees could work at NASA in return. The goal is to help NASA stay competitive by letting its workforce learn new skills and technologies from the private sector, while also spreading NASA's expertise to businesses and research institutions. The exchange would help both NASA and American companies and universities stay at the cutting edge of science and technology.

Roadside Pollinator Program Amendments Act

This bill would modify how the federal government manages plants and flowers along highways and roadsides to better support pollinators like bees and butterflies. Instead of just mowing grass for safety and appearance, the program would allow for planting native wildflowers and other vegetation that provides food and habitat for these insects, which are important for agriculture and ecosystems. The changes would affect how the Department of Transportation and state highway departments maintain roadside areas across the country.

Ensuring Seniors’ Access to Quality Care Act

The bill aims to improve healthcare quality and access for people on Medicare and other seniors by potentially adjusting how Medicare pays doctors and hospitals and what services are covered. It would affect seniors receiving healthcare, doctors and hospitals that treat Medicare patients, and possibly insurance companies involved in senior care. The proposal is currently being reviewed by congressional committees to determine what specific changes would be made to senior healthcare programs.

Realigning Mobile Phone Biometrics for American Privacy Protection Act

The legislation would establish new rules for how mobile phone biometric data (like fingerprints or facial recognition) can be collected and used by immigration authorities at the border. It aims to set privacy protections and limits on when and how this biological information can be gathered from travelers and immigrants. The bill would affect border security operations, travelers crossing U.S. borders, and immigration enforcement agencies.

Abolish ICE Act

The proposal would eliminate Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the federal agency responsible for enforcing immigration laws and deporting people who are in the country illegally. Its functions would be transferred to other government agencies, fundamentally changing how the U.S. handles immigration enforcement and deportations. This would affect undocumented immigrants, immigration enforcement officers, and communities across the country.

No Taxpayer Funds for Corporate Investment in Venezuelan Oil Act

The bill would prohibit U.S. taxpayer money—including federal funds, loans, and investments—from being used to finance or support corporate investments in Venezuelan oil production and related industries. This would prevent government agencies and federally-backed financial institutions from funding American companies that want to do business in Venezuela's oil sector. The measure targets concerns about U.S. money indirectly supporting Venezuela's government and economy during periods of political tension.

Credit Card Fairness Act

This bill would regulate credit card companies' practices, likely by capping interest rates, limiting fees, or requiring clearer disclosure of terms so consumers understand the true cost of borrowing. The changes would affect millions of Americans who carry credit card balances and help protect them from unexpected charges or predatory lending practices. Credit card companies would face new restrictions on how they can charge customers.

RURAL Rate Act

The RURAL Rate Act would likely adjust federal benefit payments or tax rates for people living in rural areas to account for differences in cost of living or service availability compared to urban regions. The bill aims to ensure that rural residents receive fair treatment under federal social welfare programs, potentially affecting how much assistance farmers, seniors, low-income families, and other rural populations receive. By tailoring rates to rural circumstances, the legislation seeks to address economic disparities between rural and urban communities.

Immediate Access for the Terminally Ill Act

Immediate Access for the Terminally Ill Act This bill permits Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) beneficiaries with specified terminal illnesses to elect expedited payment of benefits in exchange for a reduction in the amount of their monthly benefit. Specifically, the bill requires the Social Security Administration (SSA) to establish a list of medical conditions that qualify an individual for expedited payment. These conditions must have no known cure, must involve a life expectancy of five years or less, and must be present on the most recent Compassionate Allowances list (a list of medical conditions that, by definition, meet the standards for SSDI benefits). The bill directs SSA to update the list every five years. Congress must approve each medical condition added to the list. Under the bill, individuals diagnosed with a specified terminal condition may elect to receive SSDI benefits beginning the month after the onset of disability. Under current law, individuals generally must wait five months after the onset of disability to begin receiving SSDI benefits. Individuals who opt to receive expedited payment must accept a 7% reduction in monthly benefits. Separately, the bill prohibits individuals receiving unemployment benefits from simultaneously receiving SSDI benefits. The bill also permits SSA to collect less than 100% of an overpaid Social Security beneficiary’s monthly benefit, so long as the collection amount is not less than 10% of their monthly benefit.

SCAM Act

The SCAM Act targets immigration fraud and schemes that exploit vulnerable people seeking to enter or stay in the United States, likely by increasing penalties for those who run fraudulent immigration services or help people submit false applications. The bill would affect both immigrants who might be victimized by scams and the operators of fraudulent immigration services. By cracking down on these schemes, the legislation aims to protect people from losing money to fake immigration consultants and lawyers while also strengthening enforcement against immigration fraud.

Equitable Access to School Facilities Act

This bill would require schools to provide equal access to their facilities for all student groups and organizations, regardless of the group's beliefs or viewpoints. It aims to prevent schools from denying use of buildings, athletic fields, or other resources to students based on discrimination, ensuring that clubs and organizations have fair opportunities to meet and use school spaces on the same terms as other groups.

NDO Fairness Act of 2026

NDO Fairness Act of 2026 This bill increases the requirements the government must meet to obtain a nondisclosure order (NDO) under the Stored Communications Act (SCA). The SCA generally prohibits providers of remote computing services or electronic communication services (providers) from disclosing stored electronic communications or records (e.g., emails) or information pertaining to customers or subscribers. However, the SCA authorizes the government seek a warrant, order, or subpoena to compel providers to disclose electronic communications or records or information pertaining to customers or subscribers during an investigation. Providers may notify customers and subscribers of the warrant, order, or subpoena unless the government obtains a court order—an NDO—that delays the notification. This bill raises the standard the government must meet to obtain (or extend) an NDO. The bill also requires the court, before issuing an NDO, to issue a written determination that the standard was met based on specific and articulable facts, and to review the underlying warrant, order, or subpoena. The bill requires NDOs to be narrowly tailored. It also limits their duration to 90 days for most investigations, though it permits a duration of up to one year for investigations pertaining to an offense involving child pornography or sexual exploitation of children. Finally, the bill requires the Department of Justice to report annually on NDO-related data, including the number of customers or subscribers targeted; applications for orders; orders granted, extended, or denied; and orders targeting members of the media or conduct related to certain protected activities.

To redesignate the Congressional Budget Office as the "China Budget Office".

This bill would change the name of the Congressional Budget Office, the independent agency that analyzes the costs and effects of proposed legislation for Congress, to the "China Budget Office." The bill appears designed to refocus the agency's work on budgetary issues related to China, though the practical effects of a name change alone would be limited unless accompanied by changes to the agency's actual responsibilities and funding.

FLEX Act

The FLEX Act would give schools more flexibility in how they use federal education funding by allowing them to combine money from different federal programs into a single pool rather than keeping funds separated by program. This would let school districts decide how to spend the money based on their own priorities and needs instead of following strict federal rules about what each funding stream must be used for. The change would primarily affect public school administrators and teachers by giving them more control over education spending decisions.

Veterans’ Bill of Rights Act of 2026

The bill would establish a formal set of rights and protections for military veterans, likely covering areas such as access to healthcare, benefits, education, and fair treatment by government agencies. Veterans and their families would gain clearer guarantees about what services they can expect and how complaints or disputes should be handled. The specific protections would be determined as the bill moves through the Veterans' Affairs and Armed Services committees.

Hemp Planting Predictability Act

Hemp Planting Predictability Act This bill extends by two years the implementation of changes to the regulation of hemp products, which reimpose certain federal controls over some hemp products. Specifically, Congress enacted the FY2026 agriculture appropriations act (P.L. 119-37) on November 12, 2025. Effective November 12, 2026, the act modifies the statutory definition of hemp products that are considered to be lawful. This bill extends the effective date to November 12, 2028. As background, the 2018 farm bill excluded hemp from the Controlled Substances Act definition of marijuana and defined hemp . As a result, hemp and hemp-derived products at or below the 0.3% delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, the psychoactive component of marijuana) concentration threshold were no longer regulated as Schedule I controlled substances and registration with the Drug Enforcement Administration was no longer required to cultivate or handle hemp and hemp-derived products. However, hemp remained subject to Department of Agriculture and Food and Drug Administration regulation. The 2025 changes to the definition of hemp, include changing the limit to a total THC concentration of not more than 0.3% on a dry weight basis rather than only delta-9 THC, explicitly including industrial hemp, excluding seeds from a cannabis plant that exceed a certain THC concentration, and excluding various types of hemp-derived cannabinoid products. Cannabinoids refer to unique chemical compounds that are found in hemp and marijuana (e.g., THC) and are known to exhibit a range of psychological and physiological effects.

Water Power Research and Development Reauthorization Act

This bill would continue federal funding and support for research into hydroelectric power and other water-based energy technologies, allowing scientists and engineers to develop better ways to generate electricity from rivers and dams. The legislation affects energy companies, research institutions, and the Department of Energy, which would oversee these research programs aimed at making water power more efficient and environmentally sustainable.

Eliminating Bias in Algorithmic Systems Act of 2026

This bill would require companies and government agencies to test their computer algorithms and artificial intelligence systems for bias and discrimination before using them to make decisions about hiring, lending, housing, or other important services. If algorithms are found to unfairly disadvantage people based on race, gender, or other protected characteristics, organizations would have to fix the problems or stop using them. The law would primarily affect tech companies, financial institutions, employers, and government agencies that rely on automated decision-making systems.

SECURE Minerals Act of 2026

This bill would likely aim to strengthen the U.S. supply of minerals critical for energy production and technology, such as lithium, cobalt, and rare earths used in batteries and renewable energy systems. It probably includes measures to support domestic mining, reduce dependence on foreign sources, and streamline the permitting process for mineral extraction projects. The changes would affect mining companies, energy producers, and consumers who depend on affordable access to these materials for electric vehicles and clean energy infrastructure.

Protect Postal Performance Act

This bill would establish new standards and oversight measures to improve how well the U.S. Postal Service delivers mail, likely including requirements to track delivery times and penalties if the agency fails to meet performance goals. The changes would affect mail customers and businesses that rely on postal services, as well as the Postal Service itself, which would need to meet stricter accountability requirements. The goal is to ensure Americans receive their mail more reliably and on schedule.

Passenger Rail Crew Protection Act

This bill would establish safety requirements and protections for crew members who work on passenger trains, likely including rules about working conditions, rest periods, and security measures to prevent assaults or injuries on the job. The legislation would affect railroad companies and their employees by setting new standards they must follow to keep train crews safe while operating passenger rail services across the country.

RAYS Act

The RAYS Act addresses education policy, though the specific details of what it would change are not clear from the title alone. Based on its referral to the House Committee on Education and Workforce, the bill likely aims to modify how schools operate, fund education programs, or support students and teachers in some way. Once the bill moves through committee, its concrete effects on schools, students, or education funding will become clearer.

Jumpstart Savings Act

This bill would likely create or expand tax-advantaged savings accounts to help Americans, particularly younger or lower-income workers, build emergency funds or save for major expenses with reduced tax burden. The specific mechanics would determine whether it offers new account types, increases contribution limits, or provides tax credits to encourage saving. The proposal is currently under review by the House committee responsible for tax policy.

Expanding Veterans’ Access to Emerging Treatments Act

This is a resolution expressing congressional praise for President Trump's administration and military and intelligence personnel for an operation called "Operation Absolute Resolve," though the resolution itself does not create new laws or policies. The measure has been sent to multiple congressional committees for review, including those overseeing foreign affairs, armed services, intelligence, and the judiciary. Since the operation's specific details are not publicly defined in the resolution's title, Congress appears to be formally commending actions taken by these agencies, though the actual nature and scope of the operation would need to be examined in the full text.

The legislation would allow farmers and agricultural operations to capture waste heat from their equipment and facilities—such as from grain dryers, livestock operations, or food processing—and convert it into electricity for their own use or to sell back to the power grid. This would help reduce energy costs for farmers while creating a new revenue stream from energy that would otherwise be wasted. The bill affects agricultural producers and rural communities that could benefit from lower operating expenses and additional income opportunities.

The proposal has been sent to the House Armed Services Committee for consideration.

Qualified Immunity Abolition Act of 2026

This bill would eliminate qualified immunity, a legal protection that currently shields police officers and other government officials from lawsuits even when they violate people's constitutional rights, as long as their actions weren't clearly illegal at the time.

This would primarily affect law enforcement and other public officials, while giving individuals more legal recourse when they believe their rights have been violated.

Yavapai-Apache Nation Water Rights Settlement Act of 2026

This bill would settle long-standing disputes over water rights for the Yavapai-Apache Nation by establishing their legal claim to a specific amount of water from Arizona's water sources.

Qualified Immunity Abolition Act of 2026

This bill would eliminate qualified immunity, a legal protection that currently shields police officers and other government officials from being sued for civil rights violations unless they violated a "clearly established" right.

The change would primarily affect law enforcement and other public officials, while potentially increasing accountability for alleged misconduct against civilians.

Energy Burden Tax Credit Act

The bill would prevent federal officials from renaming government buildings, landmarks, and facilities after themselves or for personal reasons, requiring that any name changes follow a formal process and serve a legitimate public purpose. It aims to stop what supporters see as self-serving decisions by government leaders to put their own names on federal property. The measure affects how federal agencies manage naming decisions for buildings, parks, and other government-owned sites.

REAADI for Disasters Act

Hemp Planting Predictability Act

Hemp Planting Predictability Act This bill extends by two years the implementation of changes to the regulation of hemp products, which reimpose certain federal controls over some hemp products. Specifically, Congress enacted the FY2026 agriculture appropriations act (P.L. 119-37) on November 12, 2025. Effective November 12, 2026, the act modifies the statutory definition of hemp products that are considered to be lawful. This bill extends the effective date to November 12, 2028. As background, the 2018 farm bill excluded hemp from the Controlled Substances Act definition of marijuana and defined hemp . As a result, hemp and hemp-derived products at or below the 0.3% delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, the psychoactive component of marijuana) concentration threshold were no longer regulated as Schedule I controlled substances and registration with the Drug Enforcement Administration was no longer required to cultivate or handle hemp and hemp-derived products. However, hemp remained subject to Department of Agriculture and Food and Drug Administration regulation. The 2025 changes to the definition of hemp, include changing the limit to a total THC concentration of not more than 0.3% on a dry weight basis rather than only delta-9 THC, explicitly including industrial hemp, excluding seeds from a cannabis plant that exceed a certain THC concentration, and excluding various types of hemp-derived cannabinoid products. Cannabinoids refer to unique chemical compounds that are found in hemp and marijuana (e.g., THC) and are known to exhibit a range of psychological and physiological effects.

Mystic Alerts Act

Mystic Alerts Act This bill provides for wireless emergency alerts to be transmitted to mobile devices via satellite. (Currently, wireless emergency alerts are sent via terrestrial mobile networks to individual devices in geographically targeted areas. Commercial mobile service providers are not required to participate; only devices connected to a participating service provider’s network receive alerts.) Under the bill, commercial mobile service providers that participate in the wireless emergency alerts system must give notice to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) indicating whether they will transmit such alerts via satellite (in addition to sending alerts via terrestrial networks). The FCC must establish technical standards and other regulations to enable satellite emergency alerts. Providers that opt to transmit emergency alerts via satellite must comply with such regulations. If a provider elects not to transmit satellite alerts, the provider must give notice of that election to new and existing subscribers. Separately, mobile service subscribers may opt out of receiving satellite alerts.

No Funds for NATO Invasion Act

This bill would prohibit the U.S. government from spending money to support a NATO military invasion of any country without explicit congressional approval.

The legislation aims to close loopholes that currently allow lawmakers and officials to profit from insider knowledge about government decisions before the public finds out about them. It would apply penalties to those who violate the restrictions and require more transparency in their financial transactions.

Under Pressure Act

I cannot provide a meaningful summary because no subjects or bill details are listed. Based solely on the title and referral to the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, this likely addresses infrastructure pressure systems, water pressure management, or pipeline safety, but without additional information about the bill's actual provisions, I cannot accurately describe what it would do or who it would affect.

Affordable CHOICE Act

The bill would likely expand health insurance options and affordability for individuals and families by modifying how health plans are regulated or priced. Based on its title emphasizing "choice" and "affordability," it probably aims to give consumers more flexibility in selecting insurance coverage or reduce out-of-pocket costs. The specific changes would affect people buying their own health insurance, potentially insurers offering plans, and possibly employers providing coverage to workers.

Governing for the People Act

This bill likely aims to reform how the federal government operates to better serve ordinary Americans, though the specific changes aren't clear from the title alone. Based on its referral to a health subcommittee, it may address how health-related government agencies function or make decisions. The bill could affect federal workers, patients who rely on government health programs, and the general public's access to government services.

Home Affordability for Guard and Reserve Act

This bill would help members of the National Guard and military reserves buy homes by making it easier for them to qualify for mortgages and potentially offering financial assistance for down payments or closing costs. The measure recognizes that Guard and Reserve members often have irregular income and employment patterns that can make traditional home loans difficult to obtain, even though they serve their country. The bill aims to remove barriers that prevent these part-time military personnel from achieving homeownership.

To provide for the designation of Burma for temporary protected status.

This bill would allow people from Burma (Myanmar) to live and work temporarily in the United States without fear of being deported back to their home country, typically because of ongoing violence, natural disasters, or other dangerous conditions there. The designation would protect Burmese nationals already in the U.S. and potentially allow some new arrivals to stay and work legally while conditions in Burma remain unsafe. The House Judiciary Committee would need to review and vote on the proposal before it could move forward.

Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management relating to Public Land Order No. 7917 for Withdrawal of Federal Lands; Cook, Lake, and Saint Louis Counties, MN.

This joint resolution nullifies Public Land Order 7917, which withdrew approximately 225,504 acres of National Forest System lands in Cook, Lake, and Saint Louis Counties, Minnesota, from mineral and geothermal leasing for 20 years. In 2023, the Bureau of Land Management issued the order to protect and preserve the Rainy River Watershed, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness Mining Protection Area, and the 1854 Ceded Territory of the Lake Superior Chippewa from the potential adverse effects of mineral and geothermal exploration and development. The joint resolution removes such protections and allows such land to be leased for the exploration and development of minerals and geothermal energy.

This resolution provides for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 7007) to govern on behalf of the American people.

Hawai‘i National Cemetery Act

This bill would establish a new national cemetery in Hawaii to provide burial grounds for military veterans and their families. The cemetery would serve active-duty service members, retirees, and veterans in Hawaii who currently have limited access to federal burial facilities in the state. This would give Hawaii residents who served in the military a dedicated place to be buried with military honors.

To amend the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agency Appropriations Act, 2026, to delay the implementation of amendments made by such Act to the hemp production provisions of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946.

This bill extends by two years the implementation of changes to the regulation of hemp products, which reimpose certain federal controls over some hemp products. Specifically, Congress enacted the FY2026 agriculture appropriations act (P.L. 119-37) on November 12, 2025. Effective November 12, 2026, the act modifies the statutory definition of hemp products that are considered to be lawful. This bill extends the effective date to November 12, 2028. As background, the 2018 farm bill excluded hemp from the Controlled Substances Act definition of marijuana and defined hemp . As a result, hemp and hemp-derived products at or below the 0.3% delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, the psychoactive component of marijuana) concentration threshold were no longer regulated as Schedule I controlled substances and registration with the Drug Enforcement Administration was no longer required to cultivate or handle hemp and hemp-derived products. However, hemp remained subject to Department of Agriculture and Food and Drug Administration regulation. The 2025 changes to the definition of hemp, include changing the limit to a total THC concentration of not more than 0.3% on a dry weight basis rather than only delta-9 THC, explicitly including industrial hemp, excluding seeds from a cannabis plant that exceed a certain THC concentration, and excluding various types of hemp-derived cannabinoid products. Cannabinoids refer to unique chemical compounds that are found in hemp and marijuana (e.g., THC) and are known to exhibit a range of psychological and physiological effects.

Full AI Stack Export Promotion Act

This bill would make it easier for American companies to sell artificial intelligence technology and related software tools to other countries by reducing export restrictions and regulations. The goal is to help U.S. AI companies compete globally and increase their international sales, though it could involve decisions about which countries are allowed to purchase sensitive technology. The measure affects tech companies, exporters, and potentially national security considerations around sharing advanced AI capabilities abroad.

Customer Non-Discrimination Act

This bill would prohibit businesses from discriminating against customers based on protected characteristics like race, color, religion, sex, or national origin when providing goods and services. It would give customers who face discrimination the right to sue businesses and seek damages, similar to existing civil rights protections in employment and housing. The law would apply to most private businesses open to the public, though it may include certain exemptions for religious organizations or other specific categories.

BEACON Act of 2026

The BEACON Act would establish new programs and policies related to military operations, defense capabilities, or national security matters, though the specific provisions are not detailed in the available information. The bill has advanced through a House or Senate subcommittee with a narrow vote and now awaits consideration by the full committee. Without access to the bill's text, the exact impact on military personnel, defense contractors, or national security operations cannot be determined.

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States requiring a balanced budget for the Federal Government.

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment prohibiting total federal expenditures for a year from exceeding the average annual federal receipts collected in the three prior years, adjusted for changes in the population of U.S. citizens and inflation. Expenditures for payment of debt and receipts derived from borrowing are excluded. Under the amendment, Congress may authorize specific expenditures in excess of the limit with (1) a roll call vote of two-thirds of each chamber, or (2) a roll call vote for any year in which a declaration of war is in effect. The amendment also prohibits any bill to levy a new tax or increase the rate of any tax from becoming law unless it has been approved by a roll call vote of two-thirds of the whole number of each chamber of Congress. The requirements take effect in the fifth year beginning after ratification of the amendment.

Expressing opposition to the use of onychectomy, also known as declawing, for elective surgery in cats.

This resolution expresses Congress's opposition to declawing cats for non-medical reasons, calling the procedure harmful to the animals' health and welfare. The measure reflects growing concern among lawmakers and veterinarians that elective declawing—removing a cat's claws surgically—causes pain, behavioral problems, and long-term complications for pets. The resolution does not ban the practice but signals that Congress believes cat owners and veterinarians should avoid the procedure except when medically necessary.

Public Integrity in Financial Prediction Markets Act of 2026

This bill would regulate financial prediction markets—platforms where people bet money on the outcomes of political events and government decisions—to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure public officials aren't profiting from insider knowledge about policy changes. The legislation likely aims to restrict government employees and elected officials from participating in these markets or would require greater transparency about who is trading and what they know. The bill addresses concerns that prediction markets could create incentives for officials to make decisions based on personal financial gain rather than the public interest.

Justice for Exploited Children Act

This bill would strengthen protections against child labor and exploitation by establishing or expanding penalties for companies and individuals who employ children illegally or in dangerous conditions. It likely aims to improve enforcement of child labor laws and could affect businesses that hire workers, labor enforcement agencies, and organizations working to protect children's safety. The bill has been sent to the House Committee on Education and Workforce for review.

EB–5 Regional Center Program Advisory Committee Authorization Act

This bill would create an advisory committee to oversee the EB-5 visa program, which allows foreign investors to get permanent residency in the United States by investing money in American businesses that create jobs.

The change affects foreign investors seeking U.S. residency, American businesses looking for capital, and the government agencies managing the immigration program.

BIS STRENGTH Act

The bill would strengthen the Bureau of Industry and Security, a federal agency that handles export controls and enforces trade restrictions on sensitive technologies and materials.

The changes would affect businesses involved in exports, government agencies overseeing trade, and potentially consumers through impacts on technology availability and pricing.

This bill designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 825 Highway 198 in Beaumont, Mississippi, as the "Jeremy Malone Post Office".

Community Passport Services Access Act

This bill would likely expand access to passport services by allowing more locations—such as community centers, libraries, or local government offices—to issue or help process passports for U.S. citizens. The goal is to make it easier and more convenient for people to obtain passports without having to travel to traditional passport acceptance facilities like post offices or government buildings. This would particularly help people in rural or underserved areas who currently have limited options for getting passport services.

Renewed Hope Act

The Renewed Hope Act would make changes to federal crime and law enforcement policies, though the specific provisions are not detailed in the available information. Based on its status as an amended bill moving through committee, it likely addresses issues related to criminal justice, policing practices, or law enforcement procedures that affect both the criminal justice system and the communities it serves.

Supporting the recognition of January 9, 2026, as "National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day".

The bill would officially designate January 9, 2026, as a national day to recognize and appreciate law enforcement officers for their service and contributions to public safety. This is a symbolic measure that honors police, sheriffs, and other law enforcement personnel across the country, though it does not create any new programs or funding. The designation encourages Americans to acknowledge the work of these officers on that specific date.

This resolution commemorates the 15th anniversary of the 2011 shooting in Tucson, Arizona that killed six people and wounded 13 others, including then-Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, and honors the survivors and victims of that tragedy. The measure recognizes Giffords' recovery and her subsequent advocacy work promoting gun violence prevention. As a commemorative resolution, it does not create new laws or policies but rather expresses Congress's acknowledgment of this significant event and its impact.

Stronger Start for Working Families Act

This bill would likely expand tax credits or deductions for working families with lower and middle incomes, making it easier for them to keep more of their earnings or receive larger refunds. The changes would probably target families with children or those struggling to afford basic expenses like childcare or housing. Workers and families earning modest incomes would be the main beneficiaries of any tax relief included in the proposal.

Facilitating Useful Loss Limitations to Help Our Unique Service Economy (FULL HOUSE) Act

This bill would change how businesses can use financial losses to reduce their tax bills, likely allowing companies to carry losses forward or backward across different tax years to offset profits and lower their overall tax burden. The changes would primarily affect small and medium-sized businesses in service industries like hospitality, retail, and professional services that experience significant year-to-year income fluctuations. The bill aims to provide tax relief to these businesses during down years while they recover economically.

Better Care for PFAS Patients Act of 2026

This bill would require the federal government to improve medical care and support for people exposed to PFAS (a group of toxic chemicals found in drinking water, food packaging, and other products). It likely directs health agencies to develop better screening, treatment, and monitoring programs for patients suffering from PFAS-related illnesses, and may establish funding or resources to help affected communities access healthcare services.

Affordable CHOICE Act

The bill aims to expand health insurance options and make coverage more affordable for individuals and families by allowing greater choice in selecting health plans.

The changes would primarily affect uninsured or underinsured Americans shopping for their own health coverage.

PROTECT Act of 2026

The PROTECT Act of 2026 would strengthen environmental protections, though the specific measures are not yet detailed in available summaries. Based on its referral to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, the bill likely addresses pollution control, conservation, or climate-related issues that affect both businesses and the general public. Once the committee reviews it, the specific impacts on industries, consumers, and environmental standards will become clearer.

Public Health Nursing Act

This bill would likely establish or expand the role of public health nurses in the healthcare system, possibly by creating new funding, training programs, or requirements for states to employ nurses focused on disease prevention and community health. Public health nurses typically work on issues like disease outbreaks, maternal and child health, and health education in communities rather than in hospitals. The bill would affect healthcare workers, public health agencies, and communities that rely on preventive health services.

Trade Transparency Unit Strategy Act

Trade Transparency Unit Strategy Act This bill requires a strategy and report related to the expansion of trade transparency units. Trade transparency units examine trade anomalies and financial irregularities associated with trade-based money laundering, customs fraud, contraband smuggling, and tax evasion. Specifically, the Department of Homeland Security must coordinate with the Departments of State, Commerce, and the Treasury to submit a strategy to Congress. This strategy must (1) expand information sharing between U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Homeland Security Investigations of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, appropriate elements of the Department of Commerce, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the Department of the Treasury, and appropriate counterparts of foreign customs agencies through trade transparency units; and (2) improve intra-agency, interagency, and other multilateral information sharing with respect to these units. The Government Accountability Office must submit a report to Congress that includes an assessment of the strategy.

SHINE Act of 2026

It affects researchers, tech companies, and anyone who might benefit from advances in computing power and security.

Disaster Zone Energy Affordability and Investment Act

This bill would likely provide tax breaks or financial incentives to help people and businesses in disaster-affected areas afford energy and rebuild their power infrastructure after major disasters. The measures would probably aim to reduce energy costs for residents and companies recovering from hurricanes, floods, wildfires, or other catastrophic events while encouraging investment in rebuilding energy systems in those communities.

COLAs Don’t Count Act of 2026

The proposal would exclude cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) from being counted as income when determining eligibility for federal food assistance programs like SNAP (food stamps). This means that when people receive automatic benefit increases to keep up with inflation, those increases wouldn't reduce their food aid eligibility or benefits. The change would help low-income individuals and families maintain their nutrition assistance during periods of rising costs.

National Housing Emergency Act of 2026

This bill would declare a national housing emergency and likely authorize federal funding and programs to address the shortage of affordable housing across the country.

The changes would affect millions of Medicare beneficiaries who rely on these specialized plans, as well as the insurance companies that offer them.

Data Center Transparency Act

This bill would require large data centers to publicly report information about their energy use, water consumption, and environmental impact. The transparency requirements would help regulators and the public understand how much resources these facilities consume and potentially push companies to operate more efficiently. Data center operators and tech companies would be the primary entities affected by these new reporting obligations.

Preserving Integrity in Immigration Benefits Act

This bill would strengthen verification procedures for immigration benefits by requiring the government to better check applicants' backgrounds and eligibility before approving visas, green cards, and other immigration status.

PRICE Act

The bill would establish new regulations and requirements for energy pricing and market practices to help control costs for consumers and businesses that use electricity and other energy sources.

Access to Genetic Counselor Services Act of 2026

The proposal would expand insurance coverage for genetic counseling services, making it easier and more affordable for patients to meet with specialists who help people understand their genetic risks for diseases. Genetic counselors work with patients to explain test results, discuss family health history, and plan medical care—services that are currently often not covered by insurance or require high out-of-pocket costs. This change would primarily benefit patients seeking to understand inherited health conditions and their families.

Duty Status Reform Act

The bill would change how the military classifies and manages the duty status of service members, likely affecting pay, benefits, and legal protections for active duty, reserve, and National Guard personnel. Because the proposal has been referred to numerous committees covering everything from transportation to taxes, it probably addresses multiple aspects of military service including compensation, healthcare, and how duty status interacts with civilian employment and benefits. The exact changes remain unclear since the bill is still in the early committee review stage.

Public Charge Clarification Act of 2026

This bill would clarify the rules about when immigrants can be denied entry or permanent residency based on their likelihood to need government benefits like welfare or Medicaid. The legislation aims to define more precisely which benefits count toward the "public charge" determination that immigration officials use when evaluating visa and green card applications, affecting both immigrants seeking to enter the country and the government agencies that process their cases.

A concurrent resolution recognizing the 15th anniversary of the January 8, 2011, Tucson, Arizona, shooting and honoring the survivors and victims, including former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, a gun violence survivor and one of the most influential voices of courage in the United States in the fight to end gun violence.

Thomas M. Conway Veterans Access to Resources in the Workplace Act

The legislation would require employers to provide veterans with information about and access to resources that help them transition to civilian jobs, manage service-related health issues, and connect with support services. This would affect both veterans entering the workforce and the companies that hire them, ensuring that employers play a role in helping former military members successfully adjust to civilian employment. The bill aims to bridge the gap between military service and civilian career success by making workplace support more readily available.

Rural Investment for Producers and the Environment (RIPE) Act of 2026

The proposal would direct federal funding and resources toward agricultural projects in rural areas that aim to improve both farm productivity and environmental conservation.

No Settlements for January 6 Law Enforcement Assaulters Act

The legislation would prevent the federal government from settling lawsuits brought by people accused of assaulting police officers during the January 6 Capitol riot, instead requiring such cases to go to trial. This would affect both the accused individuals seeking to resolve their cases and law enforcement officers involved in the incident, by blocking out-of-court financial agreements that typically resolve disputes without admission of wrongdoing. The measure aims to ensure these cases receive full judicial review rather than being resolved through settlement agreements.

Bycatch Reduction and Research Act of 2026

The legislation would require fishing operations to implement new methods and technologies to reduce the accidental capture of non-target marine animals, such as dolphins, sea turtles, and other species caught alongside commercial fish.

Commercial fishing companies, recreational fishermen, and marine conservation groups would all be affected by these new requirements and research initiatives.

District of Columbia Transportation Funding Equality Act

The proposal would ensure that Washington, D.C. receives federal transportation funding on equal terms with U.S. states, addressing the current disparity where the district receives less money for roads, transit, and other transportation projects despite having a large population and workforce. This would affect D.C. residents and commuters who depend on public transportation and road infrastructure, as well as the district government's ability to maintain and improve its transportation systems. The change could result in more federal dollars flowing to D.C. transportation projects compared to the current funding formula.

A bill to require the Secretary of Agriculture to make cost-share grants for retrofitting agricultural tractors with rollover protection structures, and for other purposes.

Farmers would receive government grants to help pay for installing safety cages on their tractors that protect them if the vehicle tips over, reducing serious injuries and deaths from tractor rollovers. The Department of Agriculture would manage the grant program and cover a portion of the retrofitting costs for eligible farmers. This would make safety upgrades more affordable for agricultural workers who operate these machines daily.

Supporters argue it would protect American jobs, while opponents contend it would harm businesses that depend on this workforce.
