918 bills introduced in March 2026

HRES1148In Committee

Expressing support for the recognition of April as "National Language Access Month".

This resolution asks the federal government to officially recognize April as "National Language Access Month" to raise awareness about the importance of providing services and information in multiple languages for people who don't speak English fluently. The measure highlights how language barriers can prevent immigrants, refugees, and non-English speakers from accessing healthcare, education, legal services, and government benefits. If approved, it would encourage government agencies, schools, and organizations to promote programs that help break down these communication barriers.

Provider Reimbursement Stability Act of 2026

This bill would establish more stable and predictable payment rates for doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare providers who treat Medicare and Medicaid patients, likely aiming to prevent sudden cuts or fluctuations in what the government reimburses them for medical services. The legislation would affect healthcare providers across the country and potentially influence the quality and availability of care for seniors and low-income patients who rely on these government programs.

This bill would change how federal agencies review and update their existing regulations, likely making it easier for agencies to reconsider or eliminate rules that are outdated or burdensome. The changes would affect businesses of all sizes, workers, and consumers by potentially reducing regulatory requirements across industries. Small businesses and the judiciary committees are particularly focused on this legislation because of how it could impact compliance costs and legal processes.

2026-03-30
HR8166In Committee

GUARD Act

Without access to the specific legislative text, the GUARD Act appears to address taxation policy, though the exact provisions are unclear from the title alone. Based on its referral to the House Ways and Means Committee, it likely proposes changes to federal tax law that could affect individuals, businesses, or both. To provide an accurate summary of what the bill would actually do, the specific language and provisions would need to be reviewed.

2026-03-30
HR8161In Committee

Expeditionary Diplomacy Act

This bill would encourage the State Department to conduct more "expeditionary diplomacy," which means sending diplomats out into the field to work directly in communities and regions rather than staying only in embassy offices. The goal is to help diplomats better understand local conditions and build stronger relationships with people in foreign countries by being more present and engaged on the ground. This would affect how the State Department operates and conducts its diplomatic work around the world.

It affects divorced parents, their children, and potentially health insurance companies involved in these family situations.

2026-03-30
HR8159In Committee

Gynecologic Pain Management Study Act

This bill would require the federal government to fund and conduct research into how gynecologic pain conditions—such as endometriosis and pelvic pain—are diagnosed and treated.

By studying what works best, the government aims to improve care and reduce suffering from these often-overlooked health problems.

2026-03-30
HR8169In Committee

Export Control Enforcement and Enhancement Act

This bill would strengthen the government's ability to prevent sensitive American technology and products from being sold to foreign countries that pose national security risks.

2026-03-30
HR8160In Committee

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder Awareness and Research Act of 2026

This bill would increase funding and support for research into premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), a severe form of PMS that causes significant mood and physical symptoms in some people, and would require better public education about the condition so more people understand and can get treatment. The legislation would affect healthcare providers, researchers studying the disorder, and the millions of people—mostly women and people assigned female at birth—who experience PMDD symptoms. By boosting awareness and research, the bill aims to improve diagnosis rates and treatment options for a condition that currently goes unrecognized or untreated in many cases.

2026-03-30
HR8165In Committee

Protein for Every Plate Act of 2026

This bill would likely work to increase access to protein-rich foods for Americans, possibly through programs that subsidize or distribute meat, dairy, eggs, or plant-based proteins to low-income families, schools, or other institutions. It could involve funding for domestic agriculture to boost protein production or changes to existing food assistance programs to prioritize protein-containing foods. The measure would primarily affect food producers, agricultural workers, and families struggling to afford nutritious meals.

2026-03-30
HRES1147In Committee

Recognizing the United States legacy of dismissed pain and denied autonomy in women's health care, and affirming the Federal Government's duty to protect individual dignity and advance patient-centered care in women's health.

This resolution acknowledges that women have historically faced dismissal of their health concerns and loss of control over their own medical decisions, and calls on the federal government to ensure women receive respectful, patient-centered healthcare that values their input and protects their right to make decisions about their own bodies. The measure aims to address longstanding problems like doctors not taking women's symptoms seriously and medical decisions being made without women's full consent or participation. It does not create new laws but rather expresses Congress's commitment to improving how women are treated within the healthcare system.

2026-03-30
HR8168In Committee

Major Non-NATO Ally Terror Threat Assessment Act

This bill would require the U.S. government to regularly assess and report on terrorism threats posed by countries that are designated as major non-NATO allies, helping Congress and the public understand which friendly nations may be harboring or supporting terrorist groups.

HR8167In Committee

Diplomatic Reserve Corps Act of 2026

This bill would create a new Diplomatic Reserve Corps that allows former State Department employees and diplomats to be called back to temporary service during emergencies or periods of high demand, similar to how military reserves work. The program would give the State Department a flexible workforce to handle sudden staffing needs without hiring permanent employees, while offering retired diplomats a way to continue serving their country on a part-time basis. This would affect career foreign service officers, embassy staff, and the State Department's ability to respond quickly to international crises or diplomatic surges.

2026-03-30
HR8158In Committee

Reproductive Healthcare Leave Act

This bill would require employers to provide paid leave to employees for reproductive healthcare services, including abortion, contraception, fertility treatments, and pregnancy-related care.

Bonneville Power Leadership Recruitment Act

This bill would make it easier for the Bonneville Power Administration, a federal agency that sells hydroelectric power in the Pacific Northwest, to recruit and hire skilled leaders and managers by allowing it more flexibility in setting salaries and benefits. The goal is to help the agency compete with private companies and other government agencies when trying to attract top talent for leadership positions. This would primarily affect the agency's ability to fill executive roles and potentially improve its operations in managing power distribution across the region.

2026-03-27

2026-03-27
HR8135In Committee

Recognizing the critical missions of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and expressing concern that the systematic reduction of its career workforce has undermined those missions and endangered the safety and security of United States citizens.

This resolution expresses concern that FEMA, CISA, and TSA have lost too many career employees through workforce reductions, which the resolution argues has weakened their ability to protect Americans from disasters, cyberattacks, and terrorism threats. The resolution does not propose specific legislation but rather calls attention to the problem and asks Congress to consider whether staffing levels at these three agencies are adequate for their critical national security and emergency response missions.

IRS Whistleblower Program Improvement Act This bill modifies provisions of the Internal Revenue Code relating to whistleblower awards and protections. Specifically, the bill revises the standard for review of whistleblower awards in the Tax Court to require a de novo review (rather than the current abuse of discretion review) based on the administrative record established at the time of the whistleblower award determination and any new or previously unavailable evidence, allows whistleblowers anonymity in proceedings before the Tax Court (unless a societal interest in disclosing a whistleblower's identity outweighs potential harm to the whistleblower), modifies the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) whistleblower report to require inclusion of a list and description of up to 10 of the top tax avoidance schemes disclosed by whistleblowers, and requires payment of interest on mandatory whistleblower awards if the IRS fails to provide timely notice to a whistleblower of an award recommendation. The bill also allows payments of the attorney fees of whistleblowers to be deducted when calculating adjusted gross income for tax purposes regardless of whether the whistleblower award was paid through the mandatory or the discretionary whistleblower award program.

No Aid for Ghost Students Act of 2026

No Aid for Ghost Students Act of 2026 This bill requires the Department of Education (ED) to establish an identity fraud detection system for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Beginning on October 1, 2026, ED must use an identity fraud detection system to review each submitted application to determine whether the applicant presents a reasonable suspicion of identity fraud. If ED makes such a determination, it must notify the applicant and each institution of higher education (IHE) designated on the application that the applicant is subject to additional identity verification. An IHE may not disburse federal financial aid to an applicant that presents a reasonable suspicion of fraud unless the IHE verifies the applicant's identity in person or by live video. If the applicant's identity is confirmed, the IHE must notify ED that the applicant's identity has been verified. ED must establish guidelines for the identity verification procedures conducted by IHEs. (On April 26, 2026, ED began implementing a real-time identity fraud detection process within the FAFSA form that places applicants into one of four risk categories. High-risk applicants must confirm their identity by presenting documentation during the online application process, including via a live camera process. Applicants who are rejected via this automated process must then have their identity verified in person by IHEs.)

NG9-1-1 means a secure, interoperable, Internet Protocol-based (IP-based) system for receiving 9-1-1 requests for emergency assistance. (IP-based 9-1-1 systems have capabilities that legacy telephone systems do not, including enhanced location-finding and the ability to receive text and multimedia messages.) Under the bill, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) must provide grants to state, territorial, and tribal governments (and entities established by those governments) to support the implementation and maintenance of NG9-1-1 systems. Grant funds may also be used for public outreach on NG9-1-1, implementation of cybersecurity measures, and, subject to certain limits, training and administrative costs. Entities applying for grants must submit a plan for NG9-1-1 coordination and implementation that ensures interoperability and reliability, incorporates cybersecurity tools, and meets other requirements related to technology and procurement. Applicants must also certify that they have established, or will establish within a specified time frame, a sustainable funding mechanism to support NG9-1-1 and effective cybersecurity resources. The NTIA must advise applicants on the preparation of implementation plans and provide technical assistance to grant recipients. Further, the NTIA must establish (1) an advisory board to provide recommendations with respect to the grant program and other topics related to NG9-1-1; and (2) a cybersecurity center to coordinate with state, local, and regional governments on the sharing of cybersecurity information related to NG9-1-1.

Congress would reject an Environmental Protection Agency rule that extended deadlines for oil and gas companies to meet new climate pollution standards. The rule gave companies more time to comply with requirements aimed at reducing methane and other emissions from oil and natural gas operations.

DISCLOSE Act of 2026

Democracy Is Strengthened by Casting Light On Spending in Elections Act of 2026 or the DISCLOSE Act of 2026 This bill addresses campaign finance, including by expanding the prohibition on campaign spending by foreign nationals, requiring additional disclosures of campaign expenditures, and requiring additional disclosures regarding certain political advertisements.

Next, the bill makes it unlawful to establish or use a corporation, company, or other entity with the intent to conceal an election contribution or donation by a foreign national. A violator is subject to criminal penalties—a fine, a prison term of up to five years, or both. Covered organizations (e.g., corporations, labor organizations, and political organizations) must, within 24 hours, file reports with the Federal Election Commission to disclose campaign expenditures of more than $10,000 during an election cycle.

Small Business Innovation and Economic Security Act

Small Business Innovation and Economic Security Act This act reauthorizes through FY2031 and modifies the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program, and related pilot programs. (The SBIR and STTR programs are administered by various federal agencies and provide competitive awards for domestic small businesses to conduct research and development projects that have the potential for commercialization.) Specifically, the act expands the requirements for federal agencies administering these programs to evaluate the security risks of the small businesses that apply for awards under the programs. If an agency denies an application for security reasons, the agency must provide the small business with the basis for such determination. Further, each agency must set a maximum number of proposals per fiscal year that a small business concern may submit in response to Phase I and Phase II solicitations. The act expands the training requirements for agencies' contracting officers and acquisition workforce with respect to Phase III (commercialization of technologies) awards under the SBIR and STTR programs. The act also establishes strategic breakthrough allocations for critical technology areas. These are additional Phase II SBIR and STTR awards to small businesses that demonstrate an effective technology and receive matching funds.
