Veterans Protection from Fraud Act of 2026

The legislation would increase criminal penalties for crimes specifically targeting veterans, making punishments harsher for offenders who commit offenses against people who have served in the military. This would affect both the veterans who are victims of crimes and the individuals convicted of committing crimes against them, potentially resulting in longer prison sentences or steeper fines. The bill is currently under review by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Recognizing the significance of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month as an important time to celebrate the significant contributions of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders to the history of the United States.

This resolution officially recognizes May as Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and calls attention to the historical and cultural contributions these communities have made to the United States. The measure is largely ceremonial, designating a time for the nation to celebrate and honor the achievements and experiences of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders. It currently awaits consideration by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Vehicle Innovation Act of 2026

The federal government would fund research and development projects aimed at creating new vehicle technologies that are more efficient, cleaner, or otherwise innovative. This funding would support scientists, engineers, and companies working on advances in transportation, potentially affecting automakers, tech companies, and workers in the automotive industry. The bill has been sent to two congressional committees for review before any vote takes place.

A resolution recognizing the significance of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month as an important time to celebrate the significant contributions of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders to the history of the United States.

The Senate formally recognized May as Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, designating it as an official time to honor and celebrate the historical contributions and achievements of these communities in the United States. This recognition acknowledges the cultural, economic, and social impact these groups have had on American history and society. The resolution passed unanimously without any changes.

COOL IT Act

The government would create a training program using realistic scenarios to help immigration officers better handle their jobs, such as processing applications, conducting interviews, and making decisions about immigration cases. This training would prepare officers to deal with complex situations they encounter in the field and improve how they perform their duties. The program affects immigration officers and the people who interact with the immigration system, including visa applicants and those seeking asylum or citizenship.

China-Africa Mining Transparency Act

The State Department would be required to publish an annual list of Chinese companies operating mines in African countries that either use forced labor or cause serious environmental damage. This list would help identify problematic mining operations and could inform U.S. policy decisions and business practices regarding trade and investment in Africa. The measure aims to increase transparency about labor and environmental practices in African mining industries dominated by Chinese firms.

Calling on elected officials and civil society leaders to counter antisemitism and educate the public on the contributions of the Jewish-American community.

This resolution calls on elected officials, faith leaders, and civil society leaders to condemn and counter acts of anti-Semitism. The resolution also honors the contributions of Jewish-American servicemembers and commits to ensuring all Americans, including Jewish Americans, can worship without fear of violence or persecution.

Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to the withdrawal of the rule relating to "The Fair Credit Reporting Act's Limited Preemption of State Laws".

Congress is considering blocking a decision by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to withdraw a rule that limited how much state laws could override federal credit reporting protections. If approved, this would prevent the agency from rolling back those protections, keeping stronger state-level rules in place for how credit reporting companies handle consumer information. The measure affects credit reporting agencies, consumers who use credit, and states that have their own consumer protection laws.

CHARTER Act

This bill would prevent charter schools from receiving federal education funding if they hire for-profit companies to run or manage their operations, requiring them to be operated by nonprofit organizations instead. The change would affect charter schools and the for-profit management companies that currently contract with them, potentially forcing schools to restructure their management or lose access to federal dollars for education programs and special education services. The goal is to ensure that federal education money goes directly to nonprofit educational organizations rather than for-profit businesses.

PFAS Cleanup Act

The proposal would add a tax on companies that sell certain long-lasting chemicals called PFAS (often found in non-stick cookware, water-resistant clothing, and firefighting foam) to encourage them to reduce production of these substances. It would also provide tax credits to help communities and water systems pay for removing these chemicals from drinking water supplies. This affects chemical manufacturers, water utilities, and ultimately consumers who rely on clean drinking water.

PATH to the Foreign Service Act

Former officers who worked for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) would gain a new pathway to become Foreign Service officers, allowing them to transition more easily into diplomatic careers. This would let experienced development professionals leverage their existing expertise in international work without having to start from scratch in the Foreign Service hiring process. The change would benefit both the officers seeking career advancement and the State Department, which could recruit people with proven experience working abroad.

Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to the withdrawal of the rule relating to "Truth in Lending (Regulation Z); Consumer Protections for Home Sales Financed Under Contracts for Deed".

Congress would reject a decision by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to withdraw protections for people buying homes through contracts for deed, which are alternative financing arrangements that often lack the safeguards of traditional mortgages. This would force the agency to keep rules in place that require lenders to clearly disclose loan terms and give buyers time to review documents before signing. The measure affects low-income homebuyers and consumers who use these alternative financing methods instead of bank mortgages.

American Family Cost-of-Living Relief Act of 2026

Before federal agencies can issue new regulations, they would have to analyze and publish how those rules would affect household costs and family budgets. This requirement would apply to both proposed rules and final rules, giving the public and Congress a clear picture of the financial impact before regulations take effect. The analysis would help families, businesses, and policymakers understand what new rules will cost them in practical terms.

Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to prohibit Members, officers, and employees of the House of Representatives from participating in prediction markets in certain cases, and for other purposes.

The proposal would ban House members, staff, and officers from betting on prediction markets—websites where people wager money on the outcomes of political events, elections, or other future occurrences—to prevent conflicts of interest and insider trading. This restriction aims to ensure that people working in Congress aren't profiting from their access to confidential information about legislation or political developments. The measure is currently being reviewed by the House Ethics Committee and two other committees to determine its final form.

Of inquiry requesting the President of the United States to furnish certain information to the House of Representatives relating to access to and usage of NUMIDENT, death information, and other personally identifiable information in the possession of the Social Security Administration by an individual acting for or on behalf of the Department of Government Efficiency.

The House is asking the President to provide information about whether someone working for the Department of Government Efficiency has accessed sensitive personal data held by the Social Security Administration, including Social Security numbers, death records, and other identifying information. This inquiry seeks to understand what information was accessed, how it was used, and whether proper authorization and safeguards were followed. The request has been sent to the House Ways and Means Committee for review.

AI OVERWATCH Act

The government would require companies to get special permission before selling or transferring advanced computer chips to other countries or moving them within the U.S., giving officials more control over technology that could be used for military or security purposes. This affects tech companies, manufacturers, and exporters who work with high-performance semiconductors. The measure aims to prevent sensitive chip technology from reaching countries or groups that could pose national security risks.

Transportation Fuel Market Transparency Act

The bill aims to make the market for transportation fuels (like gasoline and diesel) more transparent and competitive so that consumers don't face unfair price spikes. It would likely require fuel suppliers and retailers to disclose pricing information and prevent anti-competitive practices that artificially drive up gas prices at the pump. This would affect gas stations, oil companies, and everyday drivers who buy fuel for their vehicles.

Strengthening Educator Workforce Data Act

The federal government would collect more detailed information about teachers and school principals, including data on their backgrounds, training, salaries, and how long they stay in their jobs. This would help policymakers and school districts better understand workforce trends and identify areas where teacher shortages or other staffing problems exist. Schools and education agencies would be required to report this information to the Department of Education.

Financial Access Protection Act

Banks and other financial institutions would be banned from collecting, keeping, or sharing information about whether their customers are citizens or what their immigration status is. This would affect millions of people who use banking services and could limit how financial companies verify customer identity or comply with federal regulations. The measure is currently under review by the Senate Banking Committee.

Unlock American Energy and Jobs Act of 2026

The bill would streamline the federal permitting process for infrastructure projects, aiming to reduce the time and complexity required to get approval for activities like construction, energy development, and environmental permits. By establishing clearer timelines and procedures for federal agencies to review and approve permits, the legislation could help speed up projects that affect businesses, workers, and communities while maintaining environmental and safety standards.

Washington Spy Ring National Historic Trail Designation Act

The proposal would create a new national historic trail that follows the route of the Washington Spy Ring, a network of spies who gathered intelligence for George Washington during the American Revolution. This designation would allow the National Park Service to develop and maintain the trail, making it easier for visitors to learn about this important part of American history and visit sites connected to the spy network. The trail would likely include educational markers and resources at historically significant locations where the spies operated.

Servicemember Civilian Transition Support Act

The bill would create a new senior leadership position at the Department of Defense specifically focused on helping military members transition to civilian jobs or reserve service when they leave active duty. This official would oversee all programs and services designed to support this transition process, ensuring military personnel have consistent access to career counseling, job training, and other resources they need to successfully move into their next chapter. The change would affect active-duty service members, veterans, and reserve component personnel preparing to leave the military.

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives in support of the integration of Kosovo into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

The House would express its official support for Kosovo becoming a member of NATO, the military alliance of North American and European countries. This is a non-binding statement of the House's position rather than a law that would directly change policy, but it signals congressional backing for Kosovo's membership in the alliance. The measure reflects support for Kosovo's integration into Western security structures.

Federal Law Enforcement and Public Protection Act

The proposal would strengthen rules around how federal law enforcement officers store, handle, and secure their service weapons to prevent theft, loss, or unauthorized use. It aims to improve safety protocols for FBI agents, DEA officers, and other federal law enforcement personnel who carry firearms as part of their jobs. The changes would apply to federal agencies and their officers across the country.

To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to temporarily suspend certain fuel excise taxes for fuel separated during periods in which the national average price of gasoline exceeds $3.99 per gallon, and to prohibit certain credits or deductions for oil and gas companies during such periods.

When the national average gas price goes above $3.99 per gallon, the federal fuel tax would be temporarily suspended, lowering what drivers pay at the pump. During these same periods, oil and gas companies would be prohibited from claiming certain tax credits and deductions, offsetting some of the lost tax revenue. The measure aims to provide relief to consumers during periods of high gas prices while limiting tax breaks for energy companies.

Medicare Physician Data-driven Performance Payment System Act of 2026

The proposal would replace Medicare's current system for paying doctors based on quality metrics with a new approach that uses data to determine physician payments, potentially rewarding doctors who demonstrate better patient outcomes and efficiency. This change would affect how Medicare compensates the roughly one million doctors who treat Medicare patients, potentially shifting financial incentives in how medical care is delivered. The bill is currently under review by two congressional committees that handle healthcare and budget matters.

New Pathways Act

The proposal would require people being released from prison to obtain government-issued identification documents before leaving the correctional facility, modifying the existing Second Chance Act that helps formerly incarcerated individuals reintegrate into society. This would affect returning citizens and could impact their ability to secure housing, employment, and access to services immediately after release. The measure is currently under review by the House Judiciary Committee.

Workforce Housing Tax Credit Act

The proposal would give tax credits to developers and builders who construct or rehabilitate housing that is affordable for middle-income families and individuals. These credits would reduce the amount of federal income taxes owed by qualifying housing projects, making it financially easier for companies to build more moderately-priced homes in areas where housing costs have become difficult for average workers and families to manage.

Equitable Transit Oriented Development Support Act

The bill would change how federal transportation funding reaches community development financial institutions, which are specialized lenders that invest in underserved neighborhoods and small businesses. By modifying the transportation finance program, it aims to make it easier for these institutions to help fund local transportation projects in low-income communities. This would affect transportation planners, community lenders, and residents in areas that currently struggle to access federal infrastructure money.

Prediction Market Act of 2026

The bill would change federal rules about how certain types of contracts related to events (like sports games or award shows) can be traded and regulated. These modifications could affect financial companies, traders, and potentially consumers who participate in event-based betting or prediction markets. The changes would be overseen by agricultural and commodity trading regulators.

Fireworks for Freedom Act

During 2026, when the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary, this proposal would temporarily allow fireworks displays that might otherwise violate federal and state safety regulations, while still letting local governments decide whether to permit them in their areas. The waiver would make it easier for communities to hold larger or more elaborate fireworks shows for the milestone celebration without having to follow certain standard rules. Local authorities would retain the power to restrict or ban fireworks displays if they choose to do so.

Caja del Rio Protection Act

The proposal would designate two protected areas in New Mexico—the Caja del Rio Special Management Area and the Caja del Rio National Conservation Area—to preserve the land for conservation purposes while potentially allowing limited recreational and educational activities. This would affect landowners, outdoor enthusiasts, and conservation groups in the region by restricting certain types of development and resource extraction on the designated lands. The bill is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Natural Resources.

KOMBUCHA

The proposal would prevent the federal government from taxing or regulating low-alcohol kombucha as an alcoholic beverage, even though it contains some alcohol. This would primarily benefit kombucha producers and consumers by keeping the drink exempt from the excise taxes and regulations that apply to beer, wine, and other alcoholic products. The change would clarify the tax treatment of kombucha, which is a fermented tea beverage that typically contains less than 1% alcohol by volume.

FLEETS Now Act

The proposal would authorize the federal government to take action against China's shipbuilding practices that U.S. officials view as unfair, such as government subsidies that artificially lower prices for Chinese shipbuilders. This could include imposing tariffs, trade restrictions, or other penalties to protect American shipbuilding companies and workers from what supporters see as unfair competition. The measure affects American shipyard workers, domestic shipping companies, and consumers who buy ships or shipping services.

FAIR Labels Act of 2026

The bill would require clearer labeling rules so shoppers can easily tell the difference between traditional meat and poultry products and newer lab-grown protein products when they're shopping. This gives consumers better information to make their own choices about which type of protein they want to buy, while the meat and poultry industries would need to follow updated labeling standards to distinguish their products from cell-cultivated alternatives.

GUARD Act

This proposal would require AI chatbots to verify users' ages before allowing access and to clearly disclose information about how they work and what they can do. The rules would protect children from potentially harmful AI interactions while giving users transparency about the technology they're using. Companies that develop or operate chatbots would need to comply with these requirements.

CARES Hotline Act

The bill would create a national hotline to help caregivers of people with developmental disabilities get information, support, and resources. This would give families and caregivers a single place to call for guidance on services, benefits, and assistance available to them. The measure aims to make it easier for people caring for individuals with conditions like intellectual disabilities or autism to find the help they need.

Financial Access Protection Act

Banks and other financial institutions would be banned from collecting, keeping, or sharing information about whether their customers are citizens or what their immigration status is. This would prevent financial companies from using this personal information in their business decisions or sharing it with other organizations. The rule would apply to all major financial institutions that serve consumers.

PATH to the Foreign Service Act

The bill would create a way for former USAID workers to become Foreign Service officers, which are diplomats who represent the U.S. abroad. This would allow experienced international development professionals to transition into diplomatic careers without having to start from scratch, potentially making it easier to fill Foreign Service positions with people who already understand how U.S. government works overseas.

Dismemberment Abortion Ban Act of 2026

The proposal would make it a federal crime to perform a specific abortion procedure involving dismemberment of fetal tissue, with exceptions for cases where the pregnant person's life is in danger. Doctors who violate the ban could face criminal penalties, and the measure would apply across all states. The bill affects pregnant women seeking abortions and medical providers who perform them.

Expressing support for United States forces to remain as a part of the Kosovo Force.

This resolution expresses Congress's support for keeping U.S. military personnel stationed in Kosovo as part of the international peacekeeping force there. The measure affirms that American troops should continue their role in maintaining stability and security in the region following the conflicts of the 1990s.

STOP Resolution

House members, officers, and staff would be required to complete training on how to protect classified information and recognize counterintelligence threats each time Congress convenes. The training would help prevent the accidental or intentional disclosure of sensitive government secrets and teach employees how to identify foreign intelligence operations targeting Congress. This requirement would apply to everyone working in the House of Representatives who has access to classified materials.

Let Experienced Pilots Fly Act

The bill would increase the mandatory retirement age for commercial airline pilots, allowing them to work longer before being forced to retire. Currently, pilots must stop flying at age 65, but this change would extend that deadline, potentially addressing pilot shortages in the aviation industry while affecting when experienced pilots leave their jobs and how airlines manage their workforce.

Supporting Urban and Innovative Farming Act of 2026

The bill would strengthen the federal government's Office of Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production, which helps cities and suburbs grow food locally through programs like community gardens and rooftop farms. This would benefit urban farmers, community organizations, and city residents looking to increase access to fresh produce in areas where grocery stores are scarce. The changes aim to expand funding and support for these local food-growing initiatives across the country.

KOMBUCHA

Low-alcohol kombucha beverages would be exempted from federal excise taxes and alcohol regulations that apply to other alcoholic drinks. This would allow kombucha producers and consumers to avoid the tax burden currently placed on alcoholic beverages, even though kombucha contains only minimal amounts of alcohol. The change would primarily benefit kombucha manufacturers and the growing market for this fermented tea drink.

Workforce Transparency Act of 2026

The bill would allow companies that develop or use artificial intelligence to voluntarily report information about how AI affects their workforce, such as job changes, worker displacement, or hiring patterns. The Labor Department would then collect and analyze this data to better understand AI's impact on American workers and employment. This voluntary reporting system would help policymakers and the public track how AI technology is reshaping the job market.

WAGES Act of 2026

Employers who invest in apprenticeship programs would receive a tax credit to offset some of the wages and costs they pay for training workers on the job. This would reduce the payroll taxes that companies owe to the federal government, making it cheaper for businesses to hire and train apprentices in skilled trades. The goal is to encourage more employers to create apprenticeships and help workers gain practical job skills while earning money.

ACCESS Act

The proposal would help low-income seniors and disabled people afford assisted living facilities by expanding Medicaid coverage for these services and creating tax credits to encourage developers to build more affordable housing with supportive services. This would make it easier for older adults and people with disabilities who cannot afford private assisted living to access care while remaining in their communities rather than moving to nursing homes. The changes would affect state Medicaid programs, housing developers, and millions of Americans struggling to pay for long-term care.

FAIR Labels Act of 2026

The bill would require clearer labeling rules so shoppers can easily tell the difference between traditional meat and poultry products and newer lab-grown protein products when they're buying food at the store. This would help consumers make informed choices about what type of protein they want to purchase based on how it was produced. The bill is currently being reviewed by the Senate Agriculture Committee.

Caja del Rio Protection Act

The bill would protect a large area of land in New Mexico called Caja del Rio by creating a special management area and national conservation area, which means the land would be managed for conservation purposes rather than developed for other uses. This would affect outdoor enthusiasts, local communities, and conservation groups by preserving the landscape for activities like hiking and wildlife habitat while potentially limiting mining, drilling, and other extractive industries in the region.

PRESS Act

The proposal would make it illegal to bring pill press machines into the United States if they're intended to be used for making fake or illegal drugs, closing a loophole that currently allows these machines to be imported. This would help law enforcement crack down on criminal operations that manufacture counterfeit medications and illicit drugs, protecting public health by making it harder for drug makers to produce and distribute dangerous fake pills.

Logan's Law

The proposal would create a searchable public database listing people convicted of violent crimes, allowing anyone to look up whether someone has such a conviction history. This would affect convicted individuals by making their violent crime records permanently and widely accessible online, while potentially helping the general public, employers, and organizations screen for safety concerns. The bill is currently under review by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

No Taxpayer-Funded Pensions for Sex Criminals Act

Federal employees and military members convicted of certain sex crimes would lose their retirement benefits and pensions if this bill becomes law. Currently, some individuals can continue receiving these payments even after conviction, but the legislation would cut off that income as a consequence of their crimes. The change would affect both civilian federal workers and military personnel who have already retired or are eligible to retire.

Logan's Law

The proposal would create a public online database listing people convicted of violent crimes so that anyone could search for this information. This would affect convicted individuals by making their criminal records easily accessible to the general public, and would potentially impact employers, landlords, and community members who might use the database when making decisions about hiring, housing, or safety. The measure is currently under review by the House Judiciary Committee.

Stop Subsidizing Private Jets of 2026

The proposal would prevent wealthy individuals and businesses from deducting certain expenses related to owning and operating private planes on their taxes. Currently, people can reduce their taxable income by claiming these plane-related costs as business expenses, but this change would eliminate that tax break for at least some of those expenses. This would primarily affect high-income earners and corporations that use private aviation.

Non-Domiciled CDL Reporting Act

The federal government would create a centralized database to track information about commercial truck and bus drivers' licenses, making it easier for regulators and law enforcement to monitor driver safety records and violations across state lines. This would help the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration enforce safety standards and identify problem drivers more efficiently. The database would affect commercial drivers, trucking companies, and transportation safety agencies that oversee highway safety.

St. Louis Postal Accountability and Reform Act

The Postal Service would be required to prepare and submit a detailed report to Congress about how well it's delivering mail and packages in the St. Louis area, including information about delivery times and service quality. This would help lawmakers understand whether residents and businesses in that region are receiving reliable postal service or experiencing problems with their mail delivery.

Language Access Board Act of 2026

The proposal would create a new government board focused on helping people who don't speak English access federal services and information. This board would work to ensure that non-English speakers can understand and use government programs, apply for benefits, and communicate with federal agencies without language barriers. The change would affect millions of Americans with limited English skills, federal agencies that serve the public, and organizations that help translate government materials.

To providing access to certain memorials on Federal property during Government shutdown, and for other purposes.

During a government shutdown, federal memorials and monuments would remain open to the public instead of being closed. This would allow visitors to access places like the Lincoln Memorial, World War II Memorial, and other historic sites on federal land even when most government operations are suspended. The bill affects tourists, veterans, and families who want to visit these important landmarks regardless of whether Congress has approved a budget.

Reward Work Act

The proposal would ban large publicly traded companies from buying back their own stock on the open market, a practice companies currently use to return money to shareholders and boost stock prices. Supporters argue stock buybacks drain resources that could otherwise go toward worker wages, research, or other investments, while opponents contend the restrictions would limit companies' financial flexibility and shareholder returns. The measure would primarily affect major corporations and their investors, though it could indirectly influence how companies allocate their profits.

USTDA Modernization Act of 2026

The proposal would allow the U.S. government to provide development aid and assistance to wealthy countries, which is not currently permitted under existing foreign aid law. This change would expand where American foreign aid dollars can be spent, potentially supporting development projects in high-income nations alongside traditional aid to lower-income countries. The measure is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

No Capital Gains Tax on Family Farms Act

Farmers and ranchers would be able to sell their land to family members without paying federal income taxes on the profits from the sale, as long as the property meets certain qualification requirements. This tax break would make it easier and more affordable for families to keep farms and ranches within the family across generations. The proposal is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Ways and Means.

Release Your Taxes Act of 2026

Members of Congress would be required to publicly release their federal income tax returns, allowing voters to see how much money lawmakers earn and from what sources. The requirement would apply to both current members seeking reelection and candidates running for Congress for the first time, creating transparency around potential financial conflicts of interest. This would affect all 535 members of Congress and anyone running to join them.

Honor Our Commitment Act of 2026

The legislation would prevent the federal government from deporting certain Vietnamese nationals who are currently living in the United States. This would primarily affect Vietnamese immigrants and refugees who face removal proceedings, allowing them to remain in the country rather than being sent back to Vietnam.

Safe Water in Schools Act of 2026

The legislation would require schools to test their drinking water for lead contamination and fix any problems found, protecting students and staff from exposure to this harmful metal. Schools would need to follow new safety standards and report their testing results, with federal funding potentially available to help pay for necessary repairs and upgrades to water systems.

College Affordability and Accessibility Act

The proposal would raise the maximum amount of federal financial aid that low- and middle-income students can receive to attend college, making it easier for more families to afford higher education. It would also give colleges and universities more flexibility in deciding which students qualify for this aid. Students and families struggling with college costs would be the primary beneficiaries of these changes.

VERIFY Act of 2026

The government uses a system called SAVE to check whether people are legally allowed to receive certain benefits like welfare or driver's licenses, and this bill would update that system to make it faster, more accurate, and better at sharing information between different government agencies. The changes would help prevent people who aren't eligible from getting benefits they shouldn't receive, while making sure the system works smoothly for both government workers and people applying for assistance.

A resolution supporting the goals and ideals of National Nurses Week, to be observed from May 6 through May 12, 2026.

Congress is expressing support for National Nurses Week, a yearly observance from May 6-12 that recognizes the contributions and hard work of nurses across the country.

This symbolic measure affirms Congress's appreciation for nurses without creating new laws or programs.

A resolution celebrating the 154th anniversary of Arbor Day.

This resolution honors the 154th anniversary of Arbor Day, a national observance dedicated to planting and caring for trees. The resolution celebrates the environmental, economic, and social benefits that trees provide to communities across the country, including cleaner air, wildlife habitat, and shade for public spaces.

A resolution amending rule XXXVII of the Standing Rules of the Senate to prohibit Senators from trading on prediction markets.

Senators would be banned from betting on prediction markets, which are platforms where people wager money on the outcomes of future events like elections or policy decisions. This rule change prevents lawmakers from potentially profiting off their own legislative actions or inside knowledge about upcoming votes and political developments. The restriction aims to reduce conflicts of interest and maintain public trust in Congress.

Unhoused Persons Bill of Rights

This resolution expresses Congress's commitment to eliminating homelessness by 2029 and protecting the rights of unhoused people, including access to housing, healthcare, jobs, education, and public spaces without discrimination or harassment from police or businesses. It calls for ensuring unhoused individuals have equal access to legal help, social services, voting rights, and internet access. The proposal has been sent to multiple House committees for review, including those handling financial services, healthcare, labor, and agriculture.

Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to the withdrawal of the rule relating to "Fair Credit Reporting; Permissible Purposes for Furnishing, Using, and Obtaining Consumer Reports".

Congress would reject a decision by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to withdraw a rule that regulated how credit reporting companies can share and use consumer credit information. This would keep the original rule in place, maintaining restrictions on who can access your credit reports and for what purposes. The change would primarily affect credit reporting agencies, lenders, and employers who use credit information in their business decisions.

A resolution expressing concern about the increasing influence of the People's Republic of China in Latin America and the Caribbean and calling for strengthened United States economic, security, and diplomatic engagement in the region.

Congress is expressing concern that China is gaining too much economic and political influence in Latin America and the Caribbean, and is calling on the U.S. government to increase its own economic partnerships, military cooperation, and diplomatic efforts in the region to counter that influence. The resolution urges American policymakers to strengthen relationships with countries in Central and South America and the Caribbean to maintain U.S. interests and leadership in the Western Hemisphere.

Consanguineous Marriage Prohibition Act of 2026

The proposal would establish federal laws preventing people who are closely related by blood from getting married, setting standards for which family relationships would make a marriage illegal. This would affect couples across the country by potentially overriding or standardizing state laws on incest and consanguinity (blood relation restrictions). The measure is currently under review by the House Judiciary Committee.

Competitive Prices Act.

This bill would change how courts handle antitrust cases involving companies that charge similar prices, making it harder for plaintiffs to prove that competitors illegally coordinated their pricing without direct evidence of an agreement. The legislation clarifies what counts as an illegal conspiracy under antitrust law, potentially protecting companies from lawsuits based solely on the fact that they happened to set prices at similar levels. The change would affect businesses facing antitrust claims and consumers who rely on antitrust laws to prevent price-fixing.

Public Lands Integrity Act

This bill would change budget rules to prevent Congress from using land sales as a way to offset spending in other areas of legislation. Currently, when the government sells or transfers federal land, the money raised can be counted as savings to help pay for new spending elsewhere in a bill, but this change would eliminate that practice. The change would make it harder to pass certain bills under expedited budget procedures that normally allow faster votes with fewer parliamentary obstacles.

Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2102) to amend title 10, United States Code, to provide for concurrent receipt of veterans' disability compensation and retired pay for disability retirees with combat-related disabilities, and for other purposes.

Air Traffic Situational Awareness Enhancement Act

The FAA would be required to buy and install specialized equipment at air traffic control towers that helps accurately track and display aircraft positions in real-time. This equipment, known as certified airborne position reference tools, would improve the accuracy and safety of air traffic control operations by giving controllers better information about where planes are located. The change would primarily affect air traffic controllers and the flying public by enhancing the precision of flight tracking and coordination.

Developing the Community Health Workforce Act of 2026

The bill would provide funding and support programs to help recruit, train, and keep healthcare workers in rural and underserved areas where there are shortages of doctors, nurses, and other medical staff. By making it easier to attract and retain healthcare professionals in these communities, the legislation aims to improve access to medical care and health outcomes for people living in areas that currently struggle to find enough healthcare providers. The bill has been sent to two congressional committees for review.

To require the Secretary of State to annually issue a list of of People's Republic of China-origin entities carrying out mining involving forced labor or causing environmental harm in certain African countries, and for other purposes.

The federal government would be required to publish an annual list of Chinese companies operating mines in African countries that either use forced labor or cause serious environmental damage. This list would help identify problematic mining operations and could inform U.S. trade and foreign policy decisions regarding these companies. The requirement affects Chinese mining companies, African nations where mining occurs, and U.S. policymakers deciding how to respond to labor and environmental violations.

PEAT Act of 2026

The proposal would change how the government classifies certain medications made from living cells or organisms, preventing regulators from treating a drug as a biologic product just because it contains a protein that doesn't actually affect how the medicine works. This could affect pharmaceutical companies by potentially allowing some drugs to be classified under simpler approval pathways rather than the more complex biologic drug process. The change aims to streamline drug development and approval for medications where inactive proteins are present but not medically relevant.

Congress would reject a recent decision by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to withdraw protections that required lenders to verify borrowers could actually afford their loans before approving them.

The change would reinstate lending standards that protect consumers from being approved for loans they cannot repay.

The federal government would be required to create better tracking systems to monitor how organizations are spending broadband expansion grants meant to bring internet access to underserved communities.

Ensuring Seniors' Access to Quality Care Act This bill repeals certain restrictions under Medicare and Medicaid that prohibit the approval of nurse-aide training and competency evaluation programs in skilled nursing facilities that have been subject to specified regulatory actions (e.g., civil penalties) for substandard quality of care. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) must still disapprove such programs for up to two years; however, the CMS must rescind the disapproval upon completion of corrective action and may require additional oversight of the program for purposes of rescission. The bill also allows Medicaid and Medicare providers (e.g., skilled nursing facilities) to access, through the National Practitioner Data Bank, disciplinary information for affiliated physicians and other health care practitioners, as reported by state licensing authorities.

This affects immigrants and their lawyers who use the appeals process when fighting deportation or immigration decisions.

Veterans Protection from Fraud Act of 2026

The proposal would increase criminal penalties for crimes specifically targeting veterans, making punishments harsher for offenders who commit violent crimes, theft, or fraud against people who have served in the military. This would affect both the veterans who receive stronger legal protections and the individuals convicted of crimes against them, who would face longer prison sentences or larger fines. The bill aims to recognize veterans as a protected group deserving of enhanced legal safeguards.

Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to the withdrawal of the rule relating to "Bulletin 2022-06: Unfair Returned Deposited Item Fee Assessment Practices".

The proposal would extend a program designed to speed up approval and access to treatments for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease) through 2031, allowing the government to continue supporting faster development and availability of therapies for patients with this serious neurological condition. The extension would help maintain streamlined pathways that allow drug companies and researchers to bring new ALS treatments to patients more quickly than the standard approval process.

Rural Community Hospital Demonstration Program Reauthorization

Rural Community Hospital Demonstration Program Reauthorization This bill extends the Rural Community Hospital Demonstration Program for an additional five years. The program tests the feasibility of cost-based reimbursement under Medicare for small rural hospitals that are too large to qualify for special payment as critical access hospitals.

Visual Protection of Strategic Assets Act

The legislation would strengthen federal laws that prevent people from spying for foreign countries or sharing classified national security information with enemies of the United States.

Recognizing the importance of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program to protect the United States' scientific integrity, public health, environment, and economic growth.

The federal government's Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program requires large industrial facilities and power plants to measure and publicly report their emissions, helping track pollution levels and inform climate policy decisions. This resolution emphasizes that the program is important for protecting public health, the environment, and the economy by providing accurate scientific data that companies, regulators, and the public can rely on. The measure affects major polluters like oil refineries, chemical plants, and power generators that must comply with these reporting requirements.

Davis-Bacon Repeal Act

The proposal would eliminate the requirement that workers on federal construction projects be paid prevailing wages (the standard wage rates in their area). This would likely reduce labor costs for federal construction projects but could lower wages for construction workers on those projects. The change would affect construction companies bidding on federal contracts and the workers they employ.

Federal Worker Credit Protection Act of 2026

During a government shutdown, federal employees stop receiving paychecks even though they're still required to work, which can damage their credit scores if they can't pay bills on time. This legislation would protect federal workers from negative credit consequences during shutdowns by preventing credit reporting agencies from marking missed payments as delinquent and stopping creditors from charging late fees or interest on accounts. The bill aims to ease the financial hardship that thousands of government workers face when their paychecks are delayed through no fault of their own.

Sudan Waiver Report Reduction Act

The federal government would be required to publicly report whenever the President grants a waiver allowing agencies to do business with companies that have ties to Sudan, a country previously subject to U.S. sanctions. This would increase transparency and oversight of presidential decisions to exempt companies from restrictions meant to pressure Sudan over human rights concerns. The reporting requirement would help Congress and the public track which companies receive these special exemptions and why.

Encouraging greater public-private sector collaboration to promote financial literacy for students and young adults.

The proposal would encourage partnerships between government agencies and private companies to teach students and young adults about managing money, budgeting, saving, and investing.

The government's ability to conduct certain types of foreign intelligence surveillance would be extended for several more years under this proposal. Specifically, it would keep in place a law that allows federal agencies to monitor communications involving foreign targets without getting individual court warrants, as long as they follow certain procedures. The extension would last until May 2026, giving Congress time to decide whether to renew, change, or end this surveillance authority again in the future.

Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to the withdrawal of the rule relating to "Debt Collection Practices (Regulation F); Deceptive and Unfair Collection of Medical Debt".

No WAR Act

The proposal would create a procedural rule preventing Congress from using fast-track budget bills to fund military operations against Iran unless those operations have been separately authorized by Congress. This would require lawmakers to get explicit approval for any Iran military action before they could pay for it through the budget process, giving Congress an additional checkpoint to prevent unauthorized wars. The change affects how Congress handles military spending and could make it harder to quickly fund military operations without a direct vote on whether those operations should happen.

Protecting Passengers from Discrimination Act

The Government Accountability Office would be required to conduct yearly reviews of how TSA airport security screening follows the agency's anti-discrimination policies, checking whether passengers are being treated fairly regardless of race, religion, or other protected characteristics.

LINK Act

The federal government would require the Agriculture and Interior departments to make their computer systems and cybersecurity protections work together seamlessly, so the two agencies can share information and protect themselves against hacking more effectively.

The bill aims to close gaps where outdated or incompatible systems might leave sensitive government data vulnerable to cyber attacks.

End U Visa Abuse Act

The proposal would eliminate the U visa program, which currently allows certain crime victims who cooperate with law enforcement to obtain temporary legal status and work authorization in the United States. This change would affect immigrants who have been victims of serious crimes like human trafficking, domestic violence, or labor exploitation and have helped police investigate these crimes. Removing this program would eliminate a key tool that law enforcement agencies use to encourage victims to come forward and assist in criminal investigations.

To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide a credit against employer payroll taxes for wages and other expenses paid or incurred for apprenticeship programs.

Companies that hire and train apprentices would receive a tax credit that reduces the payroll taxes they owe to the federal government, making it cheaper for businesses to invest in apprenticeship programs.

The credit would apply to wages paid to apprentices and other costs associated with running the apprenticeship programs.

This change would give more fishing stakeholders a say in how these important ocean resources are managed.

Petfax Act of 2026

This bill would require pet sellers to provide accurate information about the health, breed characteristics, and background of animals being sold, with penalties for misleading customers.

This is a symbolic statement rather than a law that would create new programs or funding.

Strengthening Educator Workforce Data Act

The federal government would collect more detailed information about teachers and school principals, including data on their backgrounds, qualifications, working conditions, and reasons they leave the profession.

This measure would require the President to withdraw U.S. military forces from any armed conflict with Iran within 30 days, unless Congress votes to approve continued military action. The directive invokes the War Powers Resolution, a law that limits how long the President can keep troops engaged in military hostilities without congressional approval. It would affect military personnel currently involved in operations related to Iran and could significantly impact U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East.

A bill to amend the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to extend the authorities of title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, and for other purposes.

The recognition aims to promote environmental conservation and education among the general public.

Save America’s Family Forests Act of 2026

The proposal would let companies and landowners immediately deduct the full cost of reforestation expenses from their taxes rather than spreading those costs over many years, making it cheaper to invest in replanting forests.

CREATE AI Act

The federal government would create a shared computing resource that researchers across universities, companies, and nonprofits could access to develop and test artificial intelligence technology.

The resource would be managed by the National Science Foundation and other federal agencies to ensure fair access for researchers nationwide.

Recognizing the 51st anniversary of Black April and the Fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975.

Protecting Sibling Relationships in Foster Care Act

The legislation would provide funding and support to help states and organizations create foster care programs that specialize in keeping large groups of siblings together, siblings of very different ages, and siblings with serious behavioral or medical needs. Currently, it's difficult for foster families to take in multiple children at once, especially when they have significant challenges, which often forces siblings to be separated into different homes. This bill aims to make it easier for foster agencies to recruit and support families willing to care for these harder-to-place sibling groups.

Directing the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House of Representatives to initiate or intervene in judicial proceedings.

The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform would be authorized to start or join lawsuits on behalf of Congress, allowing the committee to defend the legislative branch's interests in court.

The measure affects how Congress can protect its constitutional authority and oversight responsibilities through the judicial system.

Food Reform for Effective and Sustainable Health (FRESH) Act of 2026

The federal government would officially adopt the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans as law, making the nutrition recommendations issued by the Agriculture and Health and Human Services departments legally binding rather than voluntary guidance. This affects food manufacturers, schools, hospitals, and nutrition programs that receive federal funding, as they would need to align their food offerings and meal planning with these official guidelines. The change would give the dietary recommendations more legal weight in federal food and nutrition policies.

This bill would ensure that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which screens passengers and baggage at airports, can continue paying its employees and operating during a government funding gap that begins February 14, 2026. Without this measure, TSA workers like airport security screeners would go unpaid and airport security operations could be disrupted during the funding lapse. The bill allows essential TSA functions to continue until Congress passes a regular budget or another funding measure.

PURE Executive Act

High-ranking government officials would be banned from becoming lobbyists for five years after leaving their jobs, and would never be allowed to lobby on behalf of foreign governments or foreign-controlled companies. The goal is to prevent former executives from immediately using their government connections and insider knowledge to influence policy decisions for private interests. This would apply to senior officials across federal agencies and departments.

Shifting Forward Vehicle Technologies Research and Development Act

The federal government would fund research and development projects aimed at creating new vehicle technologies that could improve transportation efficiency, reduce emissions, or advance other automotive innovations. This funding would support everything from early-stage research to real-world demonstrations of these technologies, helping companies and researchers move promising ideas from the lab to practical use. The initiative would affect automakers, technology companies, research institutions, and ultimately consumers who would benefit from improved vehicles.

Living Wage For All Act

This bill would gradually raise the federal minimum wage over time with the goal of eventually matching the national median wage, ensuring workers earn what's considered a living wage. Large, highly profitable corporations would be required to reach higher wage standards first, and the bill would eliminate special lower wage rates currently allowed for certain workers like tipped employees and people with disabilities. The changes would affect millions of low-wage workers across the country and increase labor costs for businesses, particularly large corporations.

Early Access to Screening Act

The proposal would require Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance plans to cover annual mammogram screenings for women starting at age 30 with no out-of-pocket costs to patients. Currently, most insurance plans only cover routine mammograms for women starting at age 40 or 50, so this would expand access to earlier breast cancer screening. The change would affect millions of women and their insurance providers across the country.

NOPE Act of 2026

The bill would require Congress to review and approve certain decisions made by the President regarding sanctions against Russia, giving lawmakers more oversight over how these economic penalties are enforced or changed. Currently, the President has significant power to modify or lift sanctions without extensive congressional input, but this measure would shift some of that authority to require legislative approval. This affects how the U.S. government manages its relationship with Russia through economic pressure and trade restrictions.

The resolution passed unanimously in the Senate without any changes.

Physical Therapist Workforce and Patient Access Act of 2026

The bill would allow physical therapists to participate in a federal loan repayment program that helps healthcare workers pay off student loans in exchange for working in underserved areas, and it would expand Medicare coverage to include physical therapy services at rural health clinics and community health centers. These changes would make it easier for patients in rural and low-income areas to access physical therapy treatment without traveling to specialized facilities. The bill aims to address healthcare shortages in underserved communities by incentivizing physical therapists to work there and expanding the services available to Medicare patients.

PHS ACCESS Act

The bill would create a system allowing Public Health Service officers to be temporarily assigned to work in communities that lack adequate healthcare services, helping to expand medical care access in underserved areas. These temporary assignments would be governed by specific procedures and rules to ensure the process works smoothly and fairly.

The designation is largely symbolic and does not create new programs or funding, but rather calls attention to existing home visiting initiatives across the country.

Offshore Parity Act of 2026

This bill would give Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama more control over managing ocean areas off their coasts, including decisions about fishing and other uses of underwater lands on the continental shelf. The states would take on responsibilities currently handled by the federal government, allowing them to set their own rules for these coastal waters. The change affects fishing companies, commercial fishermen, and anyone involved in offshore activities in these three states.

Veterans’ Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2026

Starting December 1, 2026, veterans who have disabilities connected to their military service would receive higher monthly payments from the VA, and surviving family members of deceased disabled veterans would also get increased benefits. The bill aims to help veterans and their families keep up with rising living costs by boosting the compensation amounts they currently receive. This would affect millions of veterans and their dependents who rely on these VA payments for financial support.

No Immunity for Glyphosate Act

This bill would prevent the federal government from spending money to carry out an executive order aimed at increasing the domestic supply of phosphorus (a chemical used in fertilizers and other products) and glyphosate-based herbicides (common weedkillers). The measure would block funding for any programs or initiatives created under that executive order, affecting farmers, agricultural companies, and chemical manufacturers who might have benefited from government support for these products.

The initiative aims to bring cutting-edge cancer care technology to the VA's medical system.

Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.

The proposal would require the President to withdraw U.S. military forces from any active combat operations involving Iran, invoking powers granted under the War Powers Resolution that allow Congress to direct the removal of troops from military conflicts. This would affect military personnel currently engaged in or supporting operations related to Iran and could impact U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. The measure is currently under review by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Pechanga Band of Indians Water Rights Settlement Technical Amendments Act

The legislation makes technical corrections to a 2000 settlement agreement that resolved water rights disputes between the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians and the state of California. These changes clarify and update specific provisions in the original agreement to ensure the tribe can properly manage and use its allocated water resources. The bill affects the Pechanga Band, California water agencies, and other parties involved in implementing the water rights settlement.

The bill invokes the War Powers Resolution, a law that gives Congress authority over military engagements lasting more than 60 days. It affects active-duty military personnel, defense operations in the Middle East, and the balance of power between the President and Congress over military decisions.

A resolution welcoming Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla of the United Kingdom to the United States on the occasion of His Majesty's address to a joint meeting of Congress, and recognizing the historic global significance of the United States-United Kingdom relationship.

Long-Term Care Workforce Support Act

The legislation aims to strengthen the workforce of direct care professionals—such as home health aides, nursing assistants, and personal care workers—who provide essential services to elderly, disabled, and ill individuals. The bill likely includes measures to improve wages, working conditions, training, and job stability for these workers, who often face low pay and limited benefits despite performing physically and emotionally demanding work. The proposal has been referred to multiple House committees for review, suggesting it may address funding, labor standards, and related policy areas.

A resolution supporting the designation of April 2026 as the "Month of the Military Child".

This resolution would officially recognize April 2026 as a month dedicated to honoring military children and raising awareness about their unique experiences and challenges.

Access to Donor Milk Act of 2026

The bill would make it easier for hospitals and medical facilities to obtain and use pasteurized donor human milk for newborns and infants who need it, particularly those whose mothers cannot breastfeed. It would likely remove regulatory barriers and expand programs that collect, process, and distribute this milk through milk banks. This affects hospitals, nursing mothers who donate milk, and families with newborns who depend on breast milk for nutrition and health.

A resolution commemorating April 6, 2026, as the day the Artemis II crew surpassed the record for the farthest distance traveled by astronauts into deep space and celebrating the success of the Artemis II mission.

The resolution celebrates this achievement in space exploration and honors the astronauts and teams involved in the successful mission. The Senate has already approved this resolution unanimously.

Commission on Americans Living Abroad Act of 2026

The proposal would create a special commission to examine how current federal laws and policies impact Americans living abroad, looking at issues like taxes, financial services, legal rights, and veterans' benefits. The commission would study problems these expatriates face and likely recommend changes to make federal policies work better for citizens outside the United States. This affects roughly 9 million Americans living in other countries who deal with complicated rules about paying taxes, accessing services, and maintaining their legal status.

A bill to amend title 31, United States Code, to require only foreign entities to report beneficial ownership information, and for other purposes.

The bill would change federal reporting requirements so that only foreign-owned companies have to disclose who actually owns and controls them, while exempting U.S.-based companies from the same disclosure rules. Currently, both domestic and foreign entities face similar beneficial ownership reporting requirements designed to prevent money laundering and financial crimes. This change would affect banks, financial institutions, and law enforcement agencies that rely on ownership information to verify the legitimacy of business transactions.

To allow States to require payment of State fees related to boating as a condition for issuance of a vessel number and to collect such fees in conjunction with other fees related to vessel numbering.

States would be allowed to charge additional fees when issuing vessel numbers to boat owners, collecting these boating-related fees at the same time they process the standard vessel numbering paperwork. This gives states more flexibility to fund boating programs and infrastructure by tying fees directly to the vessel registration process rather than collecting them separately. Boat owners would be the primary group affected, as they would potentially face additional costs when registering their vessels.

TRUMP Ballroom Act

The proposal would allow the federal government to build a new ballroom at the White House for official events and ceremonies. The bill has been sent to two congressional committees for review to determine whether it's a good use of taxpayer money and whether the construction meets necessary standards.

No FED in West Texas Act

The federal government would be prevented from putting a land protection plan into effect at Muleshoe National Wildlife Refuge in Texas. This would block efforts to manage and protect the refuge's land according to a specific conservation strategy that officials had developed.

The bill aims to strengthen accountability and transparency in how the Defense Department manages its food supply chains.

A resolution designating April 2026 as "Financial Literacy Month".

The Senate has officially designated April 2026 as "Financial Literacy Month" to raise awareness about the importance of understanding money management, budgeting, saving, and investing.

The designation doesn't create new laws or programs, but serves as a symbolic commitment to highlighting financial literacy as a national priority.

Protecting America’s Workers Act

The proposal would strengthen workplace safety rules by extending protections to more workers, making it harder for employers to punish employees who report unsafe conditions, and increasing fines for serious safety violations. It would also adjust penalties to account for inflation and give workers or their families greater rights when injuries occur. The changes aim to make workplaces safer and give workers more power to speak up about dangerous conditions without fear of retaliation.

'Directly Impacted Child Rehab and Safety Act

The bill would change how the federal criminal justice system treats young people who committed crimes as juveniles, taking their age into account in sentencing decisions. It would also create federal grants to help states improve how their child welfare agencies and juvenile justice systems work together to better serve at-risk youth. These changes would affect incarcerated juveniles, state child welfare agencies, and the juvenile justice system.

To designate a building of the Chancery of the United States in Pristina, Kosovo, as the "Eliot L. Engel Building".

The proposal would officially name the U.S. diplomatic building in Pristina, Kosovo after Eliot L. Engel, honoring his contributions to foreign policy and international relations. This is a symbolic designation that recognizes Engel's work without changing how the building operates or affecting any government programs or services.

To amend the Research and Development, Competition, and Innovation Act to require each institution of higher education to certify as part of an application for a research and development award that such institution does not operate certain branch campuses, and for other purposes.

Colleges and universities seeking federal research funding would need to certify that they don't operate certain types of branch campuses in order to qualify for grants. The requirement aims to restrict funding to institutions meeting specific criteria about their campus operations. This would affect how universities apply for and receive federal research dollars from the government.

To amend title XIX of the Social Security Act to require coverage of, and expand access to, home and community-based services under the Medicaid program; to award grants for the creation, recruitment, training and education, retention, and advancement of the direct care workforce and to award grants to support family caregivers; and for other purposes.

This legislation would expand Medicaid coverage to help seniors and people with disabilities receive care at home and in their communities instead of only in nursing homes or hospitals. It would also provide federal grants to recruit, train, and support home care workers and to help family members who provide unpaid caregiving. The changes aim to give people more choices about where they receive care while strengthening the workforce that provides these services.

A bill to amend the Mineral Leasing Act to provide for the payment of bonus payments of certain coal leases issued under that Act.

The government would require companies that received coal leases under federal law to make additional bonus payments (upfront fees) for those leases. This affects coal mining companies operating on federal lands and would increase the money the government collects from these mining operations.

A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Coal- and Oil-Fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units: Final Repeal".

Congress is considering blocking an Environmental Protection Agency rule that would eliminate pollution limits for coal and oil-burning power plants that emit hazardous air pollutants like mercury and arsenic. If approved, this would overturn the EPA's decision to repeal those emission standards, keeping the pollution restrictions in place for electric utilities. Power plant operators and environmental groups would be most affected by whether these pollution controls remain required.

PRICE Act

Food delivery companies like DoorDash and Uber Eats would have to follow new rules about how much they charge restaurants and customers for their services. The rules would likely limit fees, require transparency about pricing, and prevent unfair practices that hurt small restaurants trying to use these platforms. This would affect delivery workers, restaurants, and consumers who order food online.

Rehabilitation of Historic Schools Act of 2026

Schools could get federal tax credits when they spend money to repair and upgrade their buildings, making it more affordable for districts to modernize aging facilities like classrooms, gymnasiums, and cafeterias. Currently, this tax credit is available for historic buildings and some commercial properties, but public schools are excluded. This change would help school districts stretch their budgets further when investing in building improvements.

Increasing Access to Foster Care Through Age 21 Act

States would receive federal funding incentives to continue providing foster care support and services to young people until age 21, rather than ending support at age 18, and would allow young adults to re-enter the foster care system after turning 18 if they need help. The bill removes requirements that parents' or guardians' income level determine eligibility for these extended services, meaning more young people aging out of foster care could access housing, education, and other support regardless of their family's financial situation. This would help vulnerable youth transition to adulthood with greater stability and access to resources.

An executive resolution authorizing the en bloc consideration in Executive Session of certain nominations on the Executive Calendar.

This resolution would allow the Senate to consider multiple presidential nominations together in a private session rather than debating them individually. The procedure would speed up the confirmation process for various executive branch positions that the President has nominated, affecting federal agencies and departments across the government.

Social Security Caregiver Credit Act of 2026

The proposal would allow people who take time out of the workforce to care for elderly parents, disabled relatives, or other dependent family members to receive Social Security credit as if they had been working and earning wages during those years, up to a maximum of five years. This change would help caregivers build up their Social Security benefits even though they're not officially employed, potentially increasing the retirement income they receive later in life. The bill primarily affects family caregivers who sacrifice their own careers to provide unpaid care for loved ones.

Saving Lives on Campuses Act of 2026

Colleges and universities would be required to keep opioid overdose rescue kits (naloxone/Narcan) readily available on campus to help students and staff who may experience an overdose. The kits would need to be placed in accessible locations so they can be used quickly in emergencies, similar to how fire extinguishers are positioned throughout buildings. This measure aims to save lives by ensuring these life-saving medications are available at higher education institutions where young adults gather.

HELP Separated Children Act

The legislation would establish protections for children whose parents or guardians are detained or deported due to immigration enforcement actions, such as ensuring they have access to legal representation, notification of their parent's whereabouts, and plans for their care and custody. The bill aims to prevent children from being separated from their families or left without supervision during immigration raids and deportations. It would affect immigrant families, child welfare agencies, and immigration enforcement officials.

Sound Science Act of 2026

The proposal would make the federal government's process for regulating toxic chemicals more transparent by requiring agencies to publicly share their scientific findings and coordinate better with each other when evaluating chemical safety. This would affect chemical manufacturers, environmental groups, and the general public by giving people clearer information about how the government decides which chemicals are dangerous and what rules should apply to them.

A bill to require a report on the use of artificial intelligence with respect to access to unminimized information collected pursuant to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, and for other purposes.

The government would be required to report on how it uses artificial intelligence to search through and analyze sensitive intelligence information collected under foreign surveillance laws. This affects national security agencies and oversight committees that need to understand whether AI tools are being used appropriately when accessing classified materials gathered on foreign targets. The report would help Congress and the public understand the scope and safeguards around AI use in intelligence operations.

Timely Access to Coverage Decisions Act of 2026

Medicare insurers would be required to review requests from doctors and hospitals asking for coverage decisions on specific treatments or procedures within a set timeframe, ensuring patients don't face long delays when their doctors want to know if Medicare will pay for care. Currently, there are no strict deadlines for these reviews, which can leave patients and providers in limbo about whether treatments will be covered. The change would make the review process faster and more predictable for healthcare providers and patients seeking Medicare coverage decisions.

PROTECT Act

The proposal would prevent the federal government from naming, renaming, or dedicating any federal buildings, lands, or other government assets after Donald J. Trump. This would apply to all federal properties going forward, affecting decisions made by federal agencies and Congress about how to honor or designate government facilities. The bill is currently under review by three House committees that handle transportation, natural resources, and government oversight.

Farmland for Farmers Act of 2026

The legislation would prevent large corporations from buying agricultural land going forward, though it would allow existing corporate-owned farmland to remain in place. The goal is to keep farmland in the hands of individual farmers and family operations rather than large companies, which supporters argue helps preserve rural communities and keep farming more affordable for people who want to work the land. The measure would primarily affect corporate investment firms and large agribusiness companies looking to expand their land holdings.

Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2026

The federal government would continue a program that helps insurance companies cover losses from terrorist attacks, protecting both insurers and the businesses and property owners they insure from catastrophic financial damage. Without this program, insurance companies might refuse to cover terrorism-related risks or charge extremely high premiums, making it harder and more expensive for buildings, businesses, and other properties to get insurance. The bill extends this temporary program, which has been in place since 2002, so that the insurance market can continue functioning smoothly in case of future terrorist incidents.

Promoting Police Leadership Act

The bill would improve a federal grant program that helps local police departments hire and train officers by adding new funding and requirements specifically for training police commanders and supervisors in leadership skills. This would affect police departments across the country that receive federal grants, potentially helping them develop better management practices. The measure is currently under review by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Ending Discrimination in Government Contracting Act

The proposal would eliminate federal contracting preferences that currently help disadvantaged individuals and small businesses owned by minorities, women, and veterans win government contracts. This change would affect thousands of small business owners who rely on these preferences to compete for federal work, as well as government agencies that use these programs to diversify their contractor base. The bill would fundamentally reshape how the federal government awards billions of dollars in annual contracts.

A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Modification to the Start of the Submission Period for Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Reporting and Recordkeeping Under TSCA 8(a)(7)".

Congress is considering blocking an Environmental Protection Agency rule that would change when companies have to start reporting on their use of PFAS chemicals (human-made substances used in products like non-stick cookware and water-resistant clothing). The rule would delay the deadline for companies to submit information about these chemicals, which some environmental groups worry could harm public health since PFAS chemicals have been linked to health problems. If approved, this resolution would overturn the EPA's decision and require companies to meet the original reporting deadline.

Rural Animal Shelter Investment Act

The proposal would allow animal shelters to qualify for federal loans and grants that are currently available to other essential community facilities like hospitals and fire departments. This would help shelters across the country pay for building improvements, equipment, and operations by giving them access to the same federal funding programs that support rural development. Animal shelter operators and communities that rely on these facilities would be the primary beneficiaries of this expanded eligibility.

Protect Moms From Domestic Violence Act

The government would fund a study to understand how intimate partner violence increases the risk of serious health problems or death during pregnancy and childbirth. Researchers would examine the connection between domestic abuse and maternal health outcomes to help doctors and public health officials better protect pregnant women who are experiencing violence. This research could lead to improved screening and support services for pregnant women in abusive relationships.

PRICE Act

The legislation would require companies like DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub to be transparent about their fees and pricing when customers order food or other goods through their apps, and would restrict how much these platforms can charge restaurants and small businesses for using their services. The rules would affect delivery companies, restaurants, and consumers by potentially lowering costs for both businesses and customers while requiring clearer disclosure of all fees before purchase. The bill is currently under review by the Senate Commerce Committee.

Neighborhood Tree Act of 2026

The bill would give states and local communities more federal funding and support to plant and care for trees in forests and urban areas. This assistance would help communities manage their forests better, protect against wildfires, and increase tree coverage for environmental benefits. The funding would be available to state forestry agencies and local organizations working on tree planting and maintenance projects.

ADVICE Act

The bill would create an advisory committee to develop consistent standards for how apprenticeship programs collect, organize, and share data across different organizations and states. This would help employers, schools, and government agencies better track apprenticeship outcomes and make it easier for workers to move between different apprenticeship programs. The committee would work to improve how information flows between the various groups involved in apprenticeships so the system runs more smoothly.

Geese House Site Conveyance Act

The bill would transfer certain parcels of land in Alaska to Native Alaskan corporations and communities as allowed under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, a 1971 law that set aside land and money for Alaska Native groups. These land conveyances would affect Alaska Native communities, the corporations that represent them, and potentially impact land use and resource development in Alaska. The measure is currently being reviewed by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.

To amend title 23, United States Code, to provide for resilience grants for strengthening, upgrading, or improving municipal piers under the Promoting Resilient Operations for Transformative, Efficient, and Cost-saving Transportation program, and for other purposes.

The federal government would provide grants to help cities and towns repair, upgrade, or strengthen their public piers to better withstand damage from storms, flooding, and other environmental threats. These grants would be part of an existing transportation program focused on making infrastructure more resilient and cost-effective. Local governments and port communities would be the main beneficiaries of this funding.

Measuring Illicit Fentanyl Trafficking Act

The Department of Homeland Security would be required to create measurable goals and tracking systems to evaluate how well its agencies are detecting illegal fentanyl, discouraging its smuggling, and confiscating it at borders and ports of entry. This would help Congress and the public understand whether current efforts to stop the deadly drug from entering the country are working effectively. The metrics would apply to border patrol, customs, and other DHS agencies involved in drug interdiction.

Marine Mammal Climate Change Protection Act of 2026

The proposal would require the federal government to create a plan for protecting certain marine mammals from the effects of climate change, such as rising ocean temperatures and changing food sources. This would give the Commerce Department new responsibilities to monitor how climate impacts these animals and develop strategies to help them survive. The plan would affect marine conservation efforts and could influence policies related to ocean management and environmental protection.

Save SNAP Act of 2026

If a state runs out of money to pay its share of food stamp benefits, the federal government would automatically cover those costs instead of letting the program run short. This would guarantee that low-income individuals and families continue receiving their nutrition assistance without interruption, even during state budget crises. The change would shift some financial responsibility from states to the federal government when states cannot afford their portion of the program.

Community Connect Grant Program Act of 2026

The bill would extend and reauthorize a federal grant program that helps bring high-speed internet access to rural communities that lack reliable broadband service. This program provides funding to rural electric cooperatives and other organizations to build the infrastructure needed to connect underserved areas to the internet. The measure affects rural residents and businesses that currently have limited or no access to broadband, as well as the utility companies and nonprofits that would receive grants to expand internet service.

VA Home Loan Affordability Act

The Department of Veterans Affairs would update its home loan program to match standards used by the Federal Housing Administration, making it easier for veterans to get mortgages and potentially lowering barriers to homeownership. This change would align VA loan rules with federal housing standards that most lenders already follow, reducing confusion and streamlining the process for veterans buying homes.

Protect Moms From Domestic Violence Act

The legislation would expand protections and support services for pregnant women and new mothers experiencing domestic violence, including funding for specialized shelters, counseling, and safety planning tailored to their needs. It aims to help healthcare providers better identify and respond to abuse during pregnancy and postpartum care. The bill would affect pregnant women, new mothers, domestic violence organizations, and healthcare facilities that serve these populations.

To amend the Public Health Service Act to update quality standards for mammography facilities for the use of AI systems, and for other purposes.

The proposal would update federal quality and safety standards for mammography facilities to account for the use of artificial intelligence systems in breast cancer screening. This would ensure that AI tools used to analyze mammograms meet the same rigorous standards as traditional screening methods, protecting patients by requiring facilities to validate that these new technologies are accurate and reliable. The changes would affect hospitals, imaging centers, and other facilities that perform mammograms, as well as the companies developing AI screening tools.

Medicare Advantage Improvement Act of 2026

The proposal would make changes to how Medicare Advantage plans operate, which are private insurance options that serve millions of seniors and disabled people who get their Medicare benefits through private companies instead of traditional government Medicare. The specific reforms would be determined as the bill moves through Congress, but they could affect how these plans are priced, what benefits they must cover, or how they operate. Seniors, disabled Medicare beneficiaries, and insurance companies offering these plans would be the main groups impacted by any changes.

Farmland for Farmers Act of 2026

The proposal would help young and beginning farmers purchase agricultural land by providing grants, loans, and other financial assistance to make farmland more affordable. It aims to address the challenge of rising land prices that make it difficult for new farmers to start operations or expand existing farms. The legislation would primarily benefit beginning farmers, agricultural workers, and rural communities looking to keep farming viable for the next generation.

Build America, Buy America Compliance Act

Federal agencies would have to report every year to Congress and the Made in America Office about which of their infrastructure funding programs are following "Buy America" rules that require using American-made materials and products. The reports would show which programs are fully following these requirements and which ones are falling short, helping Congress track whether taxpayer money for infrastructure projects is actually going toward American-made goods as intended. This affects federal agencies that distribute money for infrastructure projects and companies that bid on government contracts.

Optimizing the VA Workforce for Veterans Act of 2026

The Department of Veterans Affairs would be required to create a five-year plan for managing its workforce and hiring to better support veterans' services, and the VA Secretary would have to notify Congress before laying off or reducing staff.

The program would help ensure that rural residents can still access basic health services like doctor visits and emergency care.

Domenic and Ed’s Law

Parents who took out federal student loans to help their children pay for college would have those loans forgiven if their child becomes permanently disabled.

Ending Discrimination in Government Contracting Act

This bill would eliminate federal contracting preferences that currently help disadvantaged businesses and individuals—including women-owned, minority-owned, and veteran-owned small businesses—win government contracts. The change would affect how federal agencies award billions of dollars in contracts each year, potentially reducing opportunities for these groups to compete for and win government work. Companies and workers in disadvantaged communities could face increased competition from larger, more established businesses for federal spending.

To require the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to waive Reid Vapor Pressure requirements with respect to calendar year 2026, and for other purposes.

The EPA would be required to temporarily relax fuel vapor pressure standards for 2026, allowing gasoline to evaporate more easily than normal regulations typically permit.

PROTECT Act

The Department of Homeland Security would be required to create and share guidelines with other government agencies about how to properly protect people's personal information like Social Security numbers and addresses. These best practices would help reduce the risk of data breaches and identity theft involving sensitive citizen information held by federal agencies. The guidance would apply across multiple government departments to establish consistent standards for keeping personal data secure.

Supporting Energy and Economic Development (SEED) Act

The proposal would extend tax credits and incentives for biodiesel and renewable diesel fuel production, helping make these cleaner fuel alternatives more affordable and competitive with traditional petroleum diesel.

HELP Act of 2026

The proposal would help expand and coordinate 211 services—a free phone and online information system that connects people to local health and human services like food assistance, housing, healthcare, and emergency services—so that all Americans have access to these resources regardless of where they live. Currently, 211 services exist in some areas but not others, creating gaps in coverage. The bill aims to make these services more consistent and widely available nationwide.

Fair Air Standards Act

The proposal would create a new process allowing regions that don't currently meet federal air quality standards for ozone to be officially recognized as meeting those standards once they demonstrate they've made sufficient improvements. This would affect communities struggling with smog and air pollution, as well as the businesses and industries operating in those areas that have been working to reduce emissions. The change would potentially ease some environmental regulations in areas that have successfully cleaned up their air.

Energy Security Pacts Act

The legislation aims to strengthen America's and its allies' ability to access reliable energy sources and critical minerals needed for manufacturing, technology, and national defense.

Farmer to Farmer Education Act of 2026

Farmer to Farmer Education Act of 2026 This bill expands the authority of the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to provide technical assistance for farmer-to-farmer networks. USDA must use annual appropriations provided for Natural Resources Conservation Service conservation operations to implement this program. A farmer-to-farmer network means any affiliation or association of farmers that share information, technical assistance, or any other type of mutually beneficial support. Under the bill, USDA may enter into cooperative agreements with eligible entities to (1) provide assistance to farmer-to-farmer networks to build network capacity, connect farmers with mentors or group learning opportunities, and support goal setting; (2) increase technical assistance for farmers, ranchers, and forest owners who use different farming models, practices, and scales; (3) establish and steward the networks; and (4) establish reporting requirements for these activities. Those eligible for the program include nonprofit entities, farmer-to-farmer networks, tribal entities, local governments, institutions of higher education, and states. USDA must prioritize agreements with entities that seek to meet the specific needs of certain farmers, ranchers, and forest owners who are historically underserved or operating in high-poverty areas. The bill also provides for subawards to plan and conduct events, as well as to identify and develop innovative activities, in order to increase farmer access to farmer-to-farmer assistance.

Kenya Merritt Renewing our PACT Act of 2026

Federal employees who were exposed to toxic burn pits while working overseas would gain improved access to workers' compensation benefits under this proposal.

The federal government would study how to help historically Black colleges and universities (known as 1890 Institutions) better educate farmers and ranchers about passing down agricultural land and property to the next generation, particularly addressing complications that arise when land ownership is unclear or shared among multiple heirs. The study would identify barriers these institutions face in offering this educational support and recommend ways to expand their role in helping rural communities preserve farming operations across generations. This affects minority farmers, ranchers, and rural communities seeking guidance on managing inherited agricultural property.

To amend the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to extend the authorities of title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 through April 20, 2029, and for other purposes.

The government's ability to conduct certain types of foreign intelligence surveillance would be extended for several more years under this proposal. Specifically, it would allow federal agencies to continue monitoring communications involving foreign targets without a traditional warrant, a power that's set to expire soon but would now remain in effect through April 2029. The measure affects how the FBI, NSA, and other intelligence agencies can gather information on suspected foreign threats and spies.

Veterinary Education Equity Act

The proposal would improve a federal grant program that helps fund veterinary education and training at universities across the country.

The bill would hold educational institutions accountable for enforcing these protections or risk losing federal financial support. This applies to both K-12 schools and universities across the country.

RECON Act

The proposal would allow Social Security disability and supplemental income applicants to skip the reconsideration step when their initial claim is denied, letting them go directly to a hearing before a judge instead. Currently, people must request reconsideration (where the same agency reviews the denial) before they can appeal to a judge, which can delay their case by months. This change would give applicants more control over their appeals process and potentially speed up decisions for those who want to move straight to a hearing.

Savings Opportunity and Affordable Repayment Act

Savings Opportunity and Affordable Repayment Act This bill creates a new income-driven repayment plan for student loans called the Savings Opportunity and Affordable Repayment (SOAR) plan. The SOAR plan has similar provisions to, but further expands on, the Department of Education's (ED's) final rule published on July 10, 2023, that created the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan. The SAVE plan was blocked by federal courts. The bill directs ED to carry out a SOAR plan program that complies with specified requirements. The bill allows all federal student loan types to be eligible for repayment under the SOAR plan, including Parent PLUS Loans and Federal Family Education Loans. Under the SOAR plan, a federal student loan borrower whose income is at or below 250% of the federal poverty level (FPL) has $0 monthly payments. A borrower whose income is over 250% of the FPL pays 5% of their discretionary income on loans obtained for undergraduate study and 10% of their discretionary income for all other outstanding loans (e.g., loans obtained for graduate study). Additionally, under the SOAR plan, holders of eligible federal student loans (e.g., ED or private lenders) must apply 50% of the borrower's monthly payment toward outstanding principal. The other 50% must be applied in the following order: (1) accrued charges and collection costs on the loan, (2) outstanding interest, and (3) outstanding principal. ED must forgive any loan balance that remains outstanding after a specified maximum repayment period (e.g., 10 years or 15 years).

To require the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to conduct an improper payment assessment for project-based and tenant-based assistance, and for other purposes.

The federal government would be required to study how much money is being lost to fraud, errors, and improper payments in housing assistance programs that help low-income people afford rent. This assessment would examine both project-based assistance (where aid goes to specific apartment buildings) and tenant-based assistance (where aid follows individual renters), helping identify where money is being wasted or misused. The findings could lead to better oversight and stronger controls to protect taxpayer dollars in these housing programs.

Neighborhood Tree Act of 2026

The proposal would establish a federal program to help communities plant and maintain trees in urban and suburban neighborhoods, with funding and technical support provided to local governments and nonprofits.

The displays would serve as a constant reminder to lawmakers about gas prices that affect everyday Americans' budgets and transportation costs. This would apply to Congress members and staff who work in those chambers.

Social Security Caregiver Credit Act of 2026

The legislation would allow people who take time out of the workforce to care for family members—such as children, elderly parents, or disabled relatives—to earn credit toward their Social Security benefits, helping ensure their retirement income isn't reduced due to caregiving gaps. This would primarily benefit workers, especially women, who interrupt their careers for unpaid family care responsibilities. The proposal aims to recognize caregiving as valuable work when calculating Social Security retirement payments.

Territorial Protection and Sovereignty Act

The proposal would eliminate the government's ability to grant temporary protected status, a program that currently allows foreign nationals from countries experiencing armed conflict, natural disasters, or epidemics to live and work in the United States temporarily. This change would affect hundreds of thousands of immigrants currently in the country under this protection, potentially requiring them to leave or face deportation. The measure has been sent to the House Judiciary Committee for review.

To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to modify certain investment credit rules with respect to nuclear facilities.

Food companies and producers would face updated requirements to meet these new safety standards.

Russia’s War on Faith Act

The government would be required to investigate and report on how Russia is restricting religious freedom in Ukraine, and the President would then impose financial sanctions against foreign individuals and organizations found responsible for these violations.

Survival Aid For Emergencies through Medicare Act or the SAFE through Medicare Act This bill provides for Medicare coverage of medically necessary services for beneficiaries who are determined to be medically at-risk during a climate or manmade disaster (i.e., home resiliency services), such as heat pumps, batteries for medical equipment, and energy efficient storage for medical supplies.

INSIGHT Act

I don't have enough information to write an accurate summary. The bill title "INSIGHT Act" and referral to the health, education, labor, and pensions committee suggest it addresses one of those policy areas, but without the bill's actual text or stated subjects, I cannot determine what it would specifically do or who it would affect. To provide you with a factual summary, I would need access to the bill's language or its stated purposes.

Know Your Labor Rights Act

The legislation would require employers to provide workers with clear, written information about their basic labor rights, including details about minimum wage, overtime pay, workplace safety, and the right to organize. This would help employees understand protections they're entitled to under federal law, particularly benefiting workers who may be unaware of their rights or work for employers who don't voluntarily share this information. The bill affects all employers and their workers across the country.

Protecting Moms and Babies Against Climate Change Act

The proposal would require the federal government to study and address how climate change affects the health of pregnant women, mothers, and babies, including impacts like heat stress, air pollution, and extreme weather events. It would direct health agencies to develop recommendations and programs to protect these vulnerable groups from climate-related health risks. The bill affects pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and healthcare providers who work with these populations.

Engineering Biology Readiness Act

The proposal would establish federal programs and funding to prepare the United States for advances in engineering biology—the science of designing and modifying living organisms for practical applications. It aims to help government agencies, researchers, and companies develop the tools, expertise, and safety standards needed to work with engineered biological systems while managing potential risks. The bill affects scientists, biotechnology companies, federal agencies, and ultimately the public by shaping how the country approaches this emerging field.

Pets Belong with Families Act

The legislation would prevent landlords from charging extra fees or deposits specifically for pets, and would require that pet policies be applied fairly and consistently across all tenants. This would help renters, especially low-income families, afford to keep their pets while living in rental housing by limiting the financial barriers landlords can impose on pet owners.

Hazard Pay for Health Care Heroes Act

The legislation would require hospitals and other healthcare facilities to provide extra pay to frontline medical workers during public health emergencies, such as pandemics or disease outbreaks. Healthcare workers like nurses, doctors, and emergency room staff would receive hazard pay when they face increased risk from infectious diseases or other workplace dangers during these declared emergencies. The bill aims to recognize and compensate healthcare workers for the additional risks they take on while caring for patients during health crises.

Speedy Tariff Refund Act of 2026

The legislation would speed up the process for businesses and importers to get refunds when they've overpaid tariffs on goods brought into the United States. Currently, companies can wait months or years to recover money they've paid in excess duties, but this bill would establish faster timelines and clearer procedures for requesting and receiving those refunds. The change would primarily benefit importers, retailers, and manufacturers who rely on imported materials and goods.

Health Savings Account Expansion Act

The proposal would make it easier for more people to open and use health savings accounts, which are special accounts where individuals can set aside pre-tax money to pay for medical expenses. Currently, these accounts are only available to people with high-deductible health insurance plans, but this change would expand who qualifies to use them. Workers and families would benefit by having more options to save money for healthcare costs in a tax-advantaged way.

Prison to Proprietorship for the Formerly Incarcerated Act

The legislation would help formerly incarcerated people start and grow their own businesses by providing access to federal small business loans, grants, and training programs that are currently difficult for them to obtain. People with criminal records often face barriers when trying to get traditional business financing, so this bill aims to level the playing field by creating dedicated support and removing some of the obstacles they encounter. The program would be administered through the Small Business Administration and could help reduce recidivism by giving people who have served their time a pathway to economic self-sufficiency.

ACCESS Act of 2026.

The proposal would strengthen civil rights protections and address barriers that minority communities face in accessing services, employment, education, and public accommodations. It aims to ensure equal treatment and opportunity by expanding enforcement mechanisms and creating clearer standards for organizations that receive federal funding. The bill would affect businesses, schools, government agencies, and other institutions that serve the public.

Railroad Retirement Fairness Act

Railroad workers and their families would receive changes to how their retirement benefits are calculated and paid under this proposal. The legislation aims to address fairness concerns in the railroad retirement system, which operates separately from Social Security and covers employees of freight and passenger rail companies. The House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure will review the specific details of how these benefit changes would work.

Post-Disaster Protection Act

The legislation would establish protections and assistance programs for people and communities affected by major disasters, helping them recover housing, infrastructure, and basic services more quickly. It would likely expand federal emergency management resources and streamline the process for getting disaster aid to affected residents, businesses, and local governments. The bill would impact disaster survivors, state and local emergency officials, and communities dealing with hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, and other major emergencies.

Crime Survivor Support and Stability Act of 2026

The bill would provide financial assistance and support services to people who have survived crimes, helping them cover expenses related to their recovery and stabilization. It likely includes funding for counseling, emergency assistance, and other resources to help crime survivors rebuild their lives after experiencing violence or victimization. The proposal is currently being reviewed by committees that handle both criminal justice matters and tax/budget issues.

DAIRY PRIDE Act

The legislation would prevent plant-based beverages like almond milk and oat milk from being labeled as "milk" unless they come from dairy animals, requiring companies to use alternative names like "almond drink" or "oat beverage" instead. This would affect food manufacturers, grocery stores, and consumers who buy these products, potentially making labels clearer about what is and isn't dairy while also protecting the dairy industry from competition. The change would apply to how these products are marketed and sold across the country.

Veterans Legal Support Act of 2026

The legislation would provide funding and resources to help veterans access legal assistance for issues like disability benefits claims, housing disputes, and other legal matters they face after leaving military service. Veterans would be able to get free or low-cost legal help through expanded programs and partnerships with law firms and nonprofits. This would make it easier for former service members to navigate the legal system and protect their rights without having to pay for expensive lawyers.

Energy Consumer Protection Act of 2026

Energy Consumer Protection Act of 2026 This bill expands enforcement provisions under the Federal Power Act and the Natural Gas Act to protect consumers from price manipulation, including by allowing the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to temporarily or permanently ban any person from trading in energy markets if the person (1) violates those acts by manipulating the electricity or natural gas markets, or (2) files false information regarding those markets.

Guidelines for Use, Access, and Responsible Disclosure of Financial Data Act

The legislation would establish rules for how financial institutions and government agencies can use, share, and protect people's financial data, while also creating a process for security researchers to safely report data breaches without facing legal penalties. It affects banks, credit card companies, fintech firms, and anyone whose financial information is stored by these organizations. The bill aims to balance protecting consumer privacy with allowing legitimate uses of financial data and encouraging companies to fix security problems quickly.

Small Business Tax Cut Act

The legislation would reduce taxes for small businesses, allowing them to keep more of their earnings and potentially reinvest in their operations, equipment, or workforce. The proposal aims to help small business owners and entrepreneurs by lowering their tax burden compared to current law. The bill is currently under review by the House Committee on Ways and Means to determine its specific details and likely impact on federal revenues.

SERVE Act

The legislation would expand benefits and support services for military veterans, including improvements to healthcare access, mental health services, and job training programs. It aims to help veterans transition more smoothly to civilian life by providing additional resources for education, employment assistance, and housing support. Veterans and their families would be the primary beneficiaries of these enhanced services and programs.

DATA Act of 2026

The proposal would establish new rules for how companies collect, use, and share data about consumers and their activities online. It would give people more control over their personal information and require businesses to be transparent about what data they're gathering and how they're using it. The legislation would also create penalties for companies that misuse or fail to protect consumer data.

CLEAN Act

I don't have enough information to write an accurate summary. The bill's subjects are listed as "None," and the title "CLEAN Act" alone doesn't specify what the legislation actually does. To provide a factual, plain-English explanation of what the bill would do and who it affects, I would need access to the bill's actual text or a description of its provisions.

Keeping China Off the Rails Act

The legislation would restrict Chinese companies and investors from owning or controlling railroad infrastructure and operations in the United States, citing national security concerns. This would affect freight and passenger rail companies, preventing Chinese entities from acquiring stakes in or managing rail networks, while potentially requiring existing Chinese investments in U.S. railroads to be divested.

Know Your Labor Rights Act

The legislation would require employers to provide workers with clear, written information about their basic labor rights, including minimum wage, overtime pay, safe working conditions, and the right to organize. This would help employees understand protections they're entitled to under federal labor laws, particularly benefiting low-wage and immigrant workers who may be unfamiliar with U.S. workplace rules. The bill aims to reduce worker exploitation by ensuring people know what they can legally expect from their jobs.

PACE Act of 2026

I don't have enough information to write an accurate summary. The bill title "PACE Act of 2026" and its referral to the House Committee on Financial Services could refer to several different pieces of legislation, and without the bill's actual text or detailed subjects, I cannot reliably explain what it would do or who it affects. To provide you with an accurate summary, I would need access to the bill's summary, key provisions, or official description.

21st Century Entrepreneurship Act

I don't have enough information to write an accurate summary. The bill's subjects are listed as "None," and the title alone doesn't provide specific details about what policies the bill would actually implement. To write a factual summary for a general audience, I would need to know the bill's actual provisions—such as whether it addresses funding for startups, changes to business licensing, tax incentives, education programs, or other specific policies.

Civics Learning Act of 2026

The legislation would establish or expand civics education programs in schools to help students learn about government, voting, and how the political system works. Students would gain practical knowledge about their rights and responsibilities as citizens, and how to participate in democracy. Schools across the country would receive support to implement these civics courses as part of their standard curriculum.

Legacy IT Reduction Act of 2026

The federal government would be required to identify and phase out outdated computer systems and technology infrastructure that costs money to maintain but no longer serves essential functions. This would help reduce wasteful spending on legacy IT systems across federal agencies while allowing them to invest in newer, more efficient technology. The changes would primarily affect federal employees and agencies that rely on these older systems, potentially improving government efficiency and saving taxpayer money.

Encouraging military discounts in honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States.

The bill encourages businesses to offer discounts to military members and veterans as a way to honor the 250th anniversary of the United States. It aims to recognize and show appreciation for those who have served in the armed forces by promoting voluntary participation from companies in providing special pricing or deals. The proposal has been sent to two congressional committees to review how it might affect energy, commerce, and small businesses.

Recognizing the 200th anniversary of the heroic Exodus of Missolonghi and commemorating its historical significance to the Greek War of Independence.

This resolution honors the 200th anniversary of the Exodus of Missolonghi, a significant event during Greece's war for independence from Ottoman rule in the 1820s, where Greek fighters and civilians attempted to break through an Ottoman siege. The measure recognizes the historical importance of this event to Greek independence and American-Greek relations. It does not create new laws or spending, but rather expresses Congress's acknowledgment of this important moment in history.

ACCURATE Act

I don't have enough information to write an accurate summary. The bill title "ACCURATE Act" and its referral to the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology suggest it relates to science or technology policy, but without knowing the specific subjects or provisions of the bill, I cannot provide concrete details about what it would do or who it affects. To write a proper summary, I would need access to the bill's text or more detailed information about its purpose and provisions.

Protecting Moms and Babies Against Climate Change Act

The legislation would require the federal government to study and address how climate change and environmental hazards affect pregnant women and infants, including impacts from air pollution, extreme heat, and contaminated water. It would direct health agencies to develop recommendations and programs to protect maternal and child health from climate-related risks. The bill aims to help doctors, public health officials, and expectant parents better understand and reduce health dangers that climate change poses to mothers and babies.

Strengthening the Vaccines for Children Program Act of 2026

Strengthening the Vaccines for Children Program Act of 2026 This bill expands vaccination programs and coverage for children under Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Specifically, the bill expands and otherwise modifies the Vaccines for Children Program, which provides free vaccinations to individuals 18 years of age or younger who are uninsured or underinsured (i.e., with limited or no insurance for vaccines), are eligible for Medicaid, or are American Indians or Alaskan Natives. The bill expands the program to include children enrolled in CHIP. The Government Accountability Office must report on the related effects of the bill's changes. The bill also temporarily requires payments under Medicaid and CHIP for vaccine administration and counseling services for children to be made at a rate that is no less than the rate under Medicare for equivalent services. It also increases the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (i.e., federal matching rate) for states that conduct culturally appropriate outreach regarding the benefits of vaccinations for children.

To amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to modify the definition of food.

This bill includes hot rotisserie chicken as an eligible food to purchase with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.

STAR Act

The bill would allow federal transportation funds to be used to pay for adding artwork to transportation facilities like train stations, airports, and bus terminals. This would let transit agencies use a portion of their budgets to incorporate murals, sculptures, and other art installations into these public spaces. The change affects transportation agencies and companies that receive federal funding for infrastructure projects.

Original Legislation to Give TSA Employees a Raise

Transportation Security Administration workers would receive a salary increase under this proposal, which aims to improve pay for the federal employees who screen passengers and baggage at airports across the country. The measure has been sent to the House Committee on Homeland Security for review and consideration.

Congressional Pension Integrity Act of 2026

The bill would change how pensions work for members of Congress, likely by adjusting benefits, eligibility requirements, or how the pension system operates to ensure it functions fairly and sustainably. Members of Congress and potentially taxpayers would be affected by these changes to the retirement benefits that lawmakers receive. The specific details of what changes are being proposed have been sent to two House committees for review and discussion.

Safe Tracks Act

I don't have enough information to write an accurate summary. The bill's subjects are listed as "None," and no description of the bill's actual content or provisions has been provided. To write a factual summary explaining what the bill would do, who it affects, and what concrete changes it would make, I would need access to the bill's text or a description of its key provisions.

Energy Consumer Protection Act of 2026

Energy Consumer Protection Act of 2026 This bill expands enforcement provisions under the Federal Power Act and the Natural Gas Act to protect consumers from price manipulation, including by allowing the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to temporarily or permanently ban any person from trading in energy markets if the person (1) violates those acts by manipulating the electricity or natural gas markets, or (2) files false information regarding those markets.

FAFSA Verification Efficiency Act

The legislation would streamline the process colleges use to verify that students' financial information on their federal aid applications is accurate, potentially reducing paperwork and delays for students applying for financial aid. By making the verification process more efficient, the bill aims to help students receive their aid faster and reduce administrative burden on both schools and families filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 3255 Northwest 94th Avenue in Coral Springs, Florida, as the "Nancy Metayer Post Office Building".

This bill designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 3255 Northwest 94th Avenue in Coral Springs, Florida, as the "Nancy Metayer Post Office Building".

STAR Act

The proposal would establish or modify federal programs and funding related to transportation infrastructure and public works projects. It would affect states, cities, construction companies, and workers involved in building and maintaining roads, bridges, transit systems, and other public infrastructure. The specific details of what projects would be funded or how the money would be distributed depend on the bill's full text, which is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.

Climate Change Education Act

The bill would require schools to include climate change education in their science curricula and provide funding and resources to help teachers develop and teach these lessons. It would affect students, teachers, and school districts across the country by establishing standards for what climate science content should be taught. The legislation aims to ensure young people understand climate science and its impacts before they enter the workforce and voting age.

To amend the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 to allow the transport, purchase, and sale of pelts of, and handicrafts, garments, and art produced from, Southcentral and Southeast Alaska northern sea otters that are taken for subsistence purposes.

This bill would allow Alaska Native communities in Southcentral and Southeast Alaska to legally sell items made from northern sea otters they hunt for food, including pelts, clothing, handicrafts, and artwork. Currently, federal law restricts the sale of sea otter products even when the animals are hunted traditionally for subsistence purposes, so this change would let Indigenous hunters and their communities generate income from these traditional practices. The bill affects Alaska Native subsistence hunters and the communities that depend on these hunting traditions.

Railroad Retirement Fairness Act of 2026

Railroad workers and their families would receive changes to how their retirement benefits are calculated and paid under this proposal. The bill aims to address fairness concerns in the railroad retirement system, which operates separately from Social Security and covers employees of freight and passenger rail companies. The measure has been sent to the Senate committee responsible for labor and pension issues for review.

Electing Members to certain standing committees of the House of Representatives.

The House of Representatives approved assignments of members to specific standing committees, which are the permanent groups that handle different areas of legislation like healthcare, defense, and taxes. These committee assignments determine which lawmakers will review and debate bills in their assigned areas before they go to the full House for a vote. The motion to reconsider the decision was rejected, making the committee assignments final.

Electing a Member to a certain standing committee of the House of Representatives.

The House of Representatives voted to elect a member to fill a vacant position on one of its standing committees, which are the permanent panels that handle specific areas like taxes, defense, or healthcare. This is a routine procedural action that allows the House to maintain full membership on its committees so they can continue their work reviewing and drafting legislation. The motion to reconsider the vote was rejected, finalizing the election.

Hot Rotisserie Chicken Act

Hot Rotisserie Chicken Act This bill includes hot rotisserie chicken as an eligible food to purchase with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.

Southeast New England Program Authorization Act of 2026

The bill would create a new Southeast New England Program under federal water pollution laws to address water quality issues in that region. The program would likely establish standards, funding, or coordinated efforts to reduce pollution in rivers, coastal areas, and other waterways affecting communities and businesses in southeastern New England. This would impact residents, fishing industries, and local governments in states like Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts that depend on clean water resources.

Fair and Transparent Gas Prices Act of 2026

The Federal Trade Commission would be required to investigate whether oil and gas companies are engaging in unfair or deceptive practices that artificially inflate prices at the pump for consumers. The study would examine market conduct and competition in the energy sector to determine if companies are manipulating prices or engaging in anticompetitive behavior. Results would help lawmakers and regulators understand whether additional oversight or enforcement actions are needed to protect consumers from price manipulation.

Promoting Access to Local Agriculture Act of 2026

Promoting Access to Local Agriculture Act of 2026 This bill directs the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to establish a streamlined process for farmers and ranchers to provide benefits under certain federal nutrition programs. These programs include the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP); the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP); the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC); and the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program (GusNIP). Specifically, USDA must establish a streamlined application process for farmers and ranchers to apply to be vendors under the nutrition programs, including by developing a single application for the programs or an information sharing system. USDA must also develop a streamlined process for these vendors to use standardized technology to process program benefits (such as a single piece of equipment or a mobile application). Further, USDA must ensure that the program benefit processing equipment and systems made available by a state agency are appropriate for the entity. For example, this includes ensuring wireless or mobile processing equipment and technology systems are appropriate for farmers markets and other direct-to-consumer markets.

To direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services, acting through the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, to revise certain regulations related to infant and toddler beverages, and for other purposes.

The FDA would be required to update its rules about what can be sold as infant and toddler drinks, potentially restricting added sugars, artificial ingredients, or other components in beverages marketed for young children. This change would affect manufacturers of baby drinks and parents shopping for their young children, with the goal of improving nutrition and health outcomes for infants and toddlers.

RECOVER Act of 2026

This bill would stop Medicare from reducing payments to healthcare providers when patients receive multiple therapy services (like physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy) at the same time. Currently, Medicare pays less per service when a patient gets several types of therapy together, and this bill aims to eliminate that payment cut so providers receive full reimbursement for each therapy service delivered. The change would affect Medicare beneficiaries, therapy providers, and the Medicare program's costs.

Higher Education Marijuana Research Act of 2026

Colleges and universities would face fewer regulatory barriers when conducting scientific research on marijuana, making it easier for them to study the plant's effects and potential medical uses. Currently, federal restrictions make it difficult for academic institutions to obtain marijuana for research purposes, so this bill aims to simplify that process. The change would allow researchers to better understand marijuana's properties and impacts without as much red tape.

Consumer Protection and Corporate Accountability in Bankruptcy Act of 2026

This bill would allow courts to dismiss bankruptcy cases filed under Chapter 11 (which allows businesses to reorganize while continuing operations) if the case appears to have no realistic chance of success or if the company is filing in bad faith to delay creditors or gain unfair advantages. The change would give judges more power to stop frivolous or abusive bankruptcy filings that waste court resources and harm creditors. Businesses, creditors, and bankruptcy courts would be most affected by this stricter standard for Chapter 11 cases.

No ICE in Schools Act

Schools and colleges that receive federal funding would be prohibited from sharing student records or personal information with immigration enforcement agencies. This would protect students and families from having their educational data used to identify or locate people for deportation purposes. The measure aims to keep schools as safe spaces where families feel comfortable enrolling children without fear that their information will be turned over to immigration authorities.

Answering the Call Act of 2026

The bill would expand suicide prevention services specifically for first responders like firefighters, police officers, and paramedics by improving how they learn about and access the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. First responders face higher rates of suicide than the general population, so this legislation aims to make sure they know about available mental health resources and can easily reach out for help. The changes would be made to the existing Public Health Service Act to ensure the lifeline program does targeted outreach to these high-risk workers.

Youth Climate Leadership Act of 2026

The bill would create youth advisory councils that give young people a formal way to share their views on environmental issues with five major federal agencies: the EPA, Interior Department, Energy Department, Agriculture Department, and Commerce Department. These councils would help ensure that environmental policies take into account how they affect young people and their communities. The proposal is currently being reviewed by three House committees that handle energy, natural resources, and agriculture issues.

PARITY Act

I don't have enough information to write an accurate summary. The bill's subjects are listed as "None," and without knowing the specific provisions of this PARITY Act, I cannot determine what it would do, who it affects, or what changes it would make. Could you provide the bill number, text, or subject matter so I can write an accurate plain-English summary?

Earn it First Act of 2026

The bill would prevent a sitting president or anyone acting on their behalf from naming or renaming federal buildings after themselves while still in office. This would stop presidents from using government property to create monuments to their own administration during their tenure. The restriction would apply to all public buildings controlled by the federal government.

Concurrent Care for Comfort Act

The bill would clarify Medicare's coverage rules for palliative dialysis—a gentler form of kidney dialysis focused on comfort rather than extending life—for patients who choose hospice care. It would also establish separate payment rates for dialysis facilities and providers that offer this service to these patients, ensuring they are reimbursed appropriately for this specialized care. This affects Medicare beneficiaries with kidney disease who are nearing the end of life and their healthcare providers.

Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.

This concurrent resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or a congressional authorization for use of military force against Iran. Elements of the U.S. Armed Forces needed to defend the United States, an ally, or a partner from imminent attack are not covered by this requirement provided the President complies with a specified provision of the War Powers Resolution. (The provision generally requires the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities no more than 60 days after the President notifies or is required to notify Congress of such involvement, unless Congress authorizes such use. For more information on the War Powers Resolution, see CRS In Focus 13134 .)

Recognizing April as Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Month.

This resolution designates April as a national month to raise awareness about cancer prevention and early detection, encouraging Americans to learn about healthy habits and screening options that can catch cancer earlier when treatment is often more effective. The measure aims to highlight the importance of preventive health practices and encourage people to talk with their doctors about cancer risk factors and screening recommendations. No new laws or funding are created; instead, it's a symbolic declaration meant to focus public attention on cancer awareness during that month.

Monitor Accountability Act

Monitor Accountability Act This bill requires the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts to establish conditions on the appointment of monitors to oversee state and local governmental entities. A monitor is an independent official appointed to oversee corrective reforms as part of a civil settlement agreement or consent decree, such as to remedy a pattern or practice of unconstitutional policing. Among the conditions, this bill requires notice and an opportunity for public comment prior to the appointment of a monitor, limits an individual to one monitor appointment at a time, sets a five-year term limit for monitors, and requires a public accounting of the fees charged and services provided by the monitor. It also caps fees and explicitly authorizes the use of pro bono services. In 2021, the Department of Justice began implementing a set of principles and specific recommendations regarding the use of monitors in civil settlement agreements and consent decrees involving state and local governmental entities, including recommendations relating to term limits, capping fees, and public accountability.

Recognizing the roles and the contributions of care workers in the United States and expressing support for the designation of April 2026 as "Care Worker Recognition Month".

This resolution designates April 2026 as "Care Worker Recognition Month" to honor and acknowledge the work of people who provide care services in the United States, including home health aides, nursing assistants, and other caregiving professionals. The measure is largely symbolic and doesn't create new laws or funding, but expresses Congress's support for recognizing the contributions these workers make to American families and communities. Care workers—who often work in hospitals, nursing homes, and private homes—would be the primary focus of this recognition effort.

Food Labeling Modernization Act of 2026

The bill would require food manufacturers to provide more detailed and clearer information about nutrients on product labels, making it easier for shoppers to understand what they're eating and make healthier choices at the grocery store. The changes would affect food companies, which would need to update their labeling practices, and consumers who rely on nutrition labels to make purchasing decisions. The proposal is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Recognizing linemen, the profession of linemen, the contributions of these brave men and women who protect public safety, and expressing support for the designation of April 18, 2026, as "National Lineman Appreciation Day".

This resolution designates April 18, 2026, as National Lineman Appreciation Day to honor electrical linemen and other utility workers who maintain power lines and infrastructure while facing dangerous working conditions. The measure recognizes these workers' contributions to public safety and essential services that keep electricity flowing to homes and businesses across the country. This is a symbolic gesture with no direct impact on laws or regulations, but it brings official recognition to a profession that often works in hazardous environments.

Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) Program: Standards for 2026 and 2027, Partial Waiver of 2025 Cellulosic Biofuel Volume Requirement, and Other Changes".

Congress would reject the Environmental Protection Agency's new rules for the Renewable Fuel Standard program, which set requirements for how much biofuel must be blended into gasoline and diesel fuel for 2026 and 2027. The resolution would overturn the EPA's decision to reduce cellulosic biofuel requirements for 2025 and other changes to the program, affecting fuel producers, refineries, and potentially gas prices for consumers. This type of action allows Congress to block federal agency rules it disagrees with without going through the normal legislative process.

National Food as Medicine Program Act of 2026

This bill would establish a federal program that uses food and nutrition as a way to prevent and treat diseases, likely by covering certain healthy foods or nutrition services under health insurance or government health programs. The program would affect patients, healthcare providers, and potentially food producers by creating new ways to prescribe nutritious foods as part of medical treatment. It's being reviewed by two congressional committees because it touches on both healthcare policy and agriculture.

Recognizing that stable housing keeps families together.

This resolution expresses support for policies that help families maintain stable housing, recognizing that having a secure home is important for keeping families together. The measure has been sent to the House Financial Services Committee, which handles housing and banking issues, though it does not appear to propose specific new laws or programs at this stage.

Supporting the designation of March 2026 as Endometriosis Awareness Month.

This resolution would officially designate March 2026 as Endometriosis Awareness Month to increase public understanding of a painful condition affecting millions of women and people with female reproductive systems. The designation would encourage healthcare providers, organizations, and the public to raise awareness about endometriosis symptoms, treatment options, and the impact it has on patients' quality of life. While symbolic rather than creating new programs or funding, the designation aims to shine a spotlight on a condition that is often underdiagnosed and misunderstood.

Recognizing April 2026 as "Distracted Driving Awareness Month" and promoting efforts to help prevent tragic and preventable crashes, deaths, and injuries caused by distracted driving.

This resolution supports the recognition of Distracted Driving Awareness Month. The resolution also supports the efforts of the Department of Transportation, state and local governments, and state and local law enforcement to prevent and stop distracted driving.

Consumer Protection and Corporate Accountability in Bankruptcy Act of 2026

The legislation would strengthen protections for consumers and workers in bankruptcy cases by giving them greater priority in receiving payments from bankrupt companies' remaining assets, ahead of some creditors and shareholders. It would also increase accountability requirements for corporations going through bankruptcy, potentially including restrictions on executive compensation and requirements to preserve jobs or worker benefits. The changes would primarily affect consumers with unpaid claims, employees owed wages or benefits, and companies undergoing financial restructuring.

Providing for the expulsion of Representative Nancy Mace from the United States House of Representatives.

This resolution would remove Representative Nancy Mace from the House of Representatives, which requires a two-thirds majority vote from all members present. The measure has been sent to the House Ethics Committee for review, which typically investigates allegations of misconduct before such expulsion votes proceed. Expulsions from Congress are extremely rare and historically reserved for the most serious violations of House rules or criminal conduct.

Rural Area Population Act

Without specific subjects listed, this bill likely addresses challenges facing rural communities, possibly through agriculture, financial services, or economic development programs. The referral to both Agriculture and Financial Services committees suggests it may involve funding, lending programs, or policies to help rural areas attract or retain population. The bill's exact impact on farmers, rural businesses, or residents cannot be determined without seeing its detailed provisions.

Measures Against Marxism’s Dangerous Adherents and Noxious Islamists Act of 2026

This bill would make it illegal for immigrants to become U.S. citizens or enter the country if they are members of, affiliated with, or advocate for socialist, communist, Marxist, or Islamic fundamentalist groups, and would allow the government to strip citizenship from naturalized Americans and deport immigrants based on these beliefs or associations. The measure would affect immigrants seeking to enter or stay in the United States, as well as people who have already become citizens, by expanding grounds for deportation and denaturalization beyond current law.

To amend titles XVIII and XIX of the Social Security Act to require coverage of certain food and nutrition services under the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

This bill would require Medicare and Medicaid to cover certain food and nutrition services for eligible patients, treating nutritional support as a covered medical benefit rather than leaving it to patients to pay for themselves. The change would affect seniors on Medicare, low-income individuals on Medicaid, and potentially healthcare providers who would deliver these services. Currently, these programs have limited coverage for nutrition-related care, so this would expand what doctors can prescribe and what insurance will pay for.

Stop Deadly Denials Act of 2026

This bill would eliminate "prior authorization" requirements for Medicare Advantage plans, which currently require doctors to get insurance company approval before providing certain treatments or procedures to patients.

Medicare Advantage Improvement Act of 2026

This bill would make changes to how Medicare Advantage plans operate, which are private insurance options that serve millions of seniors and disabled people on Medicare. The specific reforms aren't detailed in the available information, but they would likely affect how these plans are regulated, how much they're paid, or what benefits they must offer to their members.

Dietary Supplement Listing Act of 2026

Dietary supplement manufacturers would be required to register their products with the FDA and provide information about what's in them, making it easier for the government and consumers to track which supplements are on the market and what they contain. Currently, supplements don't need this kind of pre-market approval or registration that drugs do, so this change would bring more oversight to an industry that affects millions of Americans who take vitamins, herbs, and other wellness products.

Freedom from Ideological Requirements in Employment Act

This bill would likely prohibit employers from requiring employees to participate in training, statements, or other activities based on ideological or political beliefs as a condition of employment.

It affects both pharmacists seeking religious exemptions and patients who may face delays or difficulty accessing these medications.

Safe Check-Ins for Immigrants Act

This bill would allow immigrants waiting for a decision on whether they'll be deported to attend some of their required court appearances by video instead of having to show up in person every time. The change would make the immigration court process more flexible for people awaiting removal decisions while still ensuring they participate in their hearings.

Supporting the designation of May as "National Myositis Awareness Month".

This resolution would officially designate May as "National Myositis Awareness Month" to help raise public attention about myositis, a group of rare diseases that cause muscle inflammation and weakness.

To prohibit the manufacture and conveyance of certain products for children that incorporate an artificial intelligence chatbot, and for other purposes.

This bill would ban companies from making and selling children's products that use artificial intelligence chatbots, such as AI-powered toys or devices designed to talk with kids. The law aims to protect children from potential harms associated with AI chatbots, though the specific concerns could include privacy issues, inappropriate content, or psychological effects of children interacting with AI systems. Parents and child safety advocates would likely support restrictions on AI technology in products marketed to minors.

No Pensions for Congressional Predators Act

Members of Congress who are convicted of serious sexual abuse crimes would lose their federal retirement benefits earned through their congressional service.

A bill to extend section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 for 3 years.

The government would be allowed to continue a surveillance program that lets intelligence agencies collect communications of foreign targets without a warrant for another three years. This program, known as Section 702, is used by the FBI, NSA, and CIA to monitor phone calls, emails, and other communications of people outside the United States, though it sometimes incidentally captures communications involving Americans. The bill would extend this authority, which was set to expire, giving the government continued power to conduct this type of foreign intelligence gathering.

Ending the Carried Interest Loophole Act

This bill would change how the tax code treats partnership stakes that workers receive as compensation for their work, potentially affecting how much income tax they owe on these awards.

Accountable Produce is Medicine Act of 2026

The bill would require Medicare and Medicaid officials to test a new program that uses fresh produce as a medical treatment to help reduce chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease.

This bill would require tax-exempt organizations (like charities and nonprofits) to report detailed information to the IRS about their activities related to resettling or relocating noncitizens into the United States. The reporting requirement would apply to organizations that receive tax-exempt status and would need to disclose specifics about these resettlement programs to federal authorities. The bill affects nonprofits and charitable organizations that work with immigrants or refugees.

Hemp Safety Enforcement Act

This bill would protect state and tribal governments' ability to enforce their own hemp regulations without federal interference, allowing them to set stricter rules than federal law permits.

The change would affect hemp farmers, state regulators, and tribal governments by giving them more control over how hemp is grown and regulated in their jurisdictions.

No Taxes on Utility Bills Act

This bill would prevent the federal government from taxing utility bills for electricity, gas, water, and other essential services that households rely on.

Communications, Video, and Technology Accessibility Act of 2026

This bill would update rules that require TV shows, videos, and online content to include captions and audio descriptions for people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or blind.

The update affects broadcasters, streaming companies, and content creators who would need to ensure their videos are accessible to all viewers.

VOICE Act

This bill would allow people to sue the federal government for money damages if they believe an immigration enforcement officer violated their legal rights during an arrest, search, or other enforcement action.

Economy of the Future Commission Act of 2026

It would affect undocumented immigrants, local law enforcement agencies, and federal immigration officials.

Taxpayer Protection and Somalia Accountability Act of 2026

Breast Cancer Research Stamp Reauthorization Act of 2026

The Postal Service would be allowed to continue selling special postage stamps that cost more than regular stamps, with the extra money going to breast cancer research organizations.

The additional revenue from people voluntarily buying these stamps would support medical research aimed at fighting breast cancer.

Blind Americans Return to Work Act of 2026

The Social Security Administration would test a new program to help blind people who receive disability benefits keep more of their earnings without losing their benefits. The demonstration project would explore whether allowing blind individuals to work and earn income while maintaining their disability payments encourages employment and improves their financial situation. This pilot program would help determine if current rules that reduce benefits when people earn money should be changed for blind workers.

Special Operations Forces Concealed Carry Act

This bill would allow certain military special operations personnel and veterans with special operations training to carry concealed firearms across state lines without needing individual state permits. The measure aims to recognize the firearms training and security clearances of these specialized operators by granting them federal concealed carry privileges similar to those given to law enforcement officers. The bill affects active-duty special operators, retired special operations veterans, and potentially their families, while raising questions about how states' gun laws would interact with this federal authority.

The bill is currently being reviewed by multiple congressional committees to determine how it would work across different federal agencies and food programs.

YouthBuild for the Future Act

The bill would extend funding and authorization for the YouthBuild program, which helps low-income young people ages 16-24 earn high school diplomas or equivalents while learning job skills through paid work on community development projects.

The bill has been referred to the Senate committee that oversees education and labor programs.

HERO Child Care for Military Families Act

This bill would help military families access affordable and reliable child care by addressing gaps in available services on and near military bases.

Military families often struggle with child care costs and availability, which can affect military readiness and retention.

Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act

The federal government would be prohibited from giving family planning grants to any organization that performs abortions, even if the grant money itself isn't used for abortion services. This would affect clinics and health centers that receive federal funding to provide contraception, cancer screenings, and other reproductive health services, potentially forcing many to choose between accepting government money or offering abortion care. The bill would significantly reshape which organizations can access federal family planning funds.

Original Additional Credit FHA Pilot Program Authorization Act

This bill would create a test program that helps people buying homes or with existing mortgages get better access to their credit information, using an automated system to share additional credit rating details with lenders.

The bill affects transit agencies and workers seeking careers in public transportation.

DEPORT Act of 2026

The bill would require anyone applying to become a U.S. citizen to sign a statement saying they don't support terrorism or terrorist organizations before they can be naturalized. This adds a new formal attestation step to the citizenship process that applicants would need to complete. The change would affect all immigrants seeking to become citizens through naturalization.

Maverick Act

Without specific subjects listed for this bill, it likely addresses military or defense policy given its referral to the House Armed Services Committee. The bill's name suggests it may authorize unconventional or independent military approaches, though the exact provisions affecting service members, defense contractors, or military operations cannot be determined from the title alone. More details would be needed to explain what specific changes it would make.

Senior Citizens’ Freedom to Work Act of 2026

This bill would likely remove or raise the earnings limits that currently reduce Social Security benefits for seniors who continue working after claiming benefits. Currently, older Americans who earn above a certain amount lose some of their Social Security payments, which discourages many from staying in the workforce. The change would allow seniors to keep their full benefits while working, giving them more financial flexibility in their later years.

HUMBLE Presidents Act

This bill would prevent the federal government from putting a sitting president's name, image, likeness, or signature on federal buildings, monuments, currency, or other government property while they are still in office. The restriction would apply only to current presidents, not to former presidents or other government officials. The goal appears to be maintaining a separation between a president's personal identity and federal assets during their time in power.

Pedophile Financial Accountability Act

The federal government would investigate whether banks and financial institutions broke anti-money laundering laws by processing transactions connected to Jeffrey Epstein. The Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network would lead the investigation to determine if these institutions failed to properly monitor suspicious activity as required by law. This could result in findings about how financial institutions handled accounts or payments related to Epstein's criminal activities.

Medication Competition Act

The federal government would be required to clearly determine and announce how long pharmaceutical companies can have exclusive rights to sell newly approved biological medicines (like vaccines and gene therapies) before generic competitors can enter the market. This would give drugmakers and patients more certainty about when cheaper alternatives might become available, and could affect how quickly generic versions of expensive biologic drugs reach consumers. The change would apply to the Food and Drug Administration's decisions about these exclusivity periods.

Great American Healthcare Plan

This bill would let people save more money in health savings accounts (special tax-advantaged accounts for medical expenses) and would require hospitals and insurance companies to publicly disclose their prices so patients can compare costs before getting care. The measure affects workers with health savings accounts, patients shopping for medical services, hospitals, and insurance companies. The bill has been referred to multiple committees in Congress for review.

Communications, Video, and Technology Accessibility Act of 2026

This bill would update rules requiring TV shows, videos, and online content to be accessible to people who are deaf or hard of hearing through captions and to people who are blind or have low vision through audio descriptions. The changes would likely modernize these accessibility requirements to keep pace with how people now watch content on streaming services and other digital platforms instead of just traditional television. This affects broadcasters, streaming companies, and content creators who would need to ensure their programming meets updated accessibility standards.

To amend title 23, United States Code, with respect to the amounts States are guaranteed under the highway apportionment formula, and for other purposes.

This bill would change how federal highway funding is divided among states, likely guaranteeing each state a minimum amount of money for road and bridge projects regardless of population or other factors.

The bill is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.

Foster Youth Education and Workforce Opportunity Act of 2026

The bill would increase financial support for foster youth pursuing education and job training after high school by raising the maximum voucher amount they can receive and expanding access to workforce development programs. Young people who have been in the foster care system would get more help paying for college, vocational schools, and other training to prepare them for adult careers. The changes aim to give foster youth better tools to become self-sufficient and succeed once they leave the system.

This resolution expresses the House's position that the Department of Justice should not settle any lawsuits filed by President Trump against the United States, arguing that doing so would violate the constitutional rule preventing the president from accepting money or benefits from the federal government. The measure reflects concerns that administrative settlements could be used to transfer taxpayer money to the president in violation of the Emoluments Clause. The resolution has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee for consideration.

Faster Department of Veterans Affairs Construction Act of 2026

The Department of Veterans Affairs would be allowed to use building codes and standards from the private construction industry instead of or alongside federal government standards when building or renovating VA facilities like hospitals and clinics. This change could potentially speed up construction projects and reduce costs by giving the VA more flexibility in how it designs and builds facilities for veterans. The bill is currently under review by the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs.

Territorial Small Business Development Act of 2026

The bill would create a new Small Business Administration program specifically designed to help small business owners from Pacific territories like Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands access loans, training, and other support services. This program would give entrepreneurs in these island communities better access to federal small business resources that are currently harder for them to reach due to their remote locations. The goal is to boost economic development and job creation in these U.S. territories.

A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that the President should prioritize securing the release of Pastor Jin Mingri, Pastor Gao Quanfu and his wife Pang Yu, Dr. Gulshan Abbas, and Jimmy Lai detained by the People's Republic of China during future engagements with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The Senate is calling on the President to make the release of five specific people detained by China a priority in future meetings with Chinese leadership, including two Christian pastors, a doctor, a businessman, and a family member. These individuals are being held by the Chinese government, and the resolution urges the President to advocate for their freedom during diplomatic discussions. This is a non-binding statement of the Senate's position rather than a law, and it has been sent to the Foreign Relations Committee for consideration.

To amend the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to extend the authorities of title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 through April 30, 2026, and for other purposes.

This law extends the government's ability to conduct surveillance on foreign targets and their communications through April 2026, allowing intelligence agencies like the NSA to continue monitoring suspected foreign spies and terrorists without obtaining individual warrants for each target. The extension affects national security operations and foreign intelligence gathering but does not change the underlying rules about how surveillance can be conducted. The law was passed by Congress and signed into law in 2025.

A resolution recognizing April 14, 2026, as "World Quantum Day", and commemorating and supporting the goals of World Quantum Day.

Congress is officially recognizing April 14, 2026, as "World Quantum Day" to raise awareness about quantum science and technology, which involves the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales and has potential applications in computing, medicine, and other fields. The resolution supports the goals of this international observance, which aims to educate the public and encourage interest in quantum research and development. This is a symbolic measure with no direct impact on laws or funding, but it signals congressional support for quantum science as an important area of study and innovation.

Securing America’s Drug Supply from Communist China Act

The bill would require federal regulators to review and potentially restrict pharmaceutical products and ingredients coming from Chinese companies or manufacturers before they can be sold in the United States. This would give the government more oversight of drug supply chains and could affect both the medications available to patients and the companies that produce or import them. The goal appears to be ensuring the safety and security of America's drug supply by scrutinizing foreign pharmaceutical sources.

Rehabilitation Through Reading Act of 2026

This bill would require the Federal Bureau of Prisons to use an independent review process before removing books from prison libraries, rather than allowing individual facilities to ban books on their own. The change would give inmates and outside reviewers a chance to challenge book bans and ensure decisions are made fairly and consistently across all federal prisons. The bill affects prison administrators, incarcerated people, and organizations concerned with access to reading materials in correctional facilities.

Poll Worker Tax Cut Act

Poll workers who are paid for working at voting locations would no longer have to pay federal income taxes on that compensation. This change would apply to anyone who works the polls, regardless of how much they earn from that work. The goal is to make poll work more attractive by letting workers keep their full pay without federal tax obligations.

Supporting the designation of the week of April 11 through April 17, 2026, as "Black Maternal Health Week", founded by Black Mamas Matter Alliance, Inc. (BMMA), to bring national attention to the maternal and reproductive health crisis in the United States and the importance of reducing maternal mortality and morbidity among Black women and birthing people.

This resolution designates April 11-17, 2026, as "Black Maternal Health Week" to raise awareness about the serious health challenges Black women and pregnant people face during pregnancy and childbirth, including higher rates of death and complications compared to other groups. The week aims to highlight the need for better healthcare and support to reduce these disparities. No new laws or funding are created; it's a symbolic designation meant to draw national attention to this public health issue.

Stop Climate Shakedowns Act of 2026

This bill would shield energy companies and workers in the mining, oil, gas, and power industries from lawsuits seeking damages or court orders to stop their operations, even if their products cause harm. The protection would apply across the entire energy supply chain, from extraction and refinement to sale to consumers. The measure would significantly limit the ability of individuals, communities, and governments to sue energy producers for environmental damage, health problems, or other injuries allegedly caused by fossil fuels and energy products.

Directing the President, pursuant to the War Powers Resolution, to comply with the 60-day use of force and 30-day phased withdrawal requirements regarding the use of the United States Armed Forces in Operation Epic Fury in Iran.

This resolution would require the President to follow the War Powers Resolution's rules about military operations, specifically demanding that any use of armed forces in Iran (called Operation Epic Fury) must end within 60 days unless Congress approves it, and then requires a 30-day gradual withdrawal of troops. The measure is designed to ensure Congress has a say in military decisions rather than letting the President act alone for extended periods. It affects military personnel deployed to Iran and could impact U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East.

RURAL Healthcare Act

This bill would allow temporary doctors, nurses, and other advanced healthcare workers hired on a short-term basis to be classified as independent contractors rather than employees, which would exempt them from certain federal labor protections like minimum wage requirements and the right to organize unions. The change would affect how these healthcare professionals are paid and what workplace rights they have, potentially allowing healthcare facilities to hire them with fewer legal obligations. Healthcare companies and staffing agencies would gain flexibility in how they structure these temporary positions, while the workers themselves would lose some employee protections.

Drug Origin Transparency Act of 2026

The bill would require drug manufacturers to provide more detailed information about how much medication they're producing and distributing, giving the government better visibility into drug supply chains and potential shortages. This would help federal health agencies track whether there are enough medicines available and identify problems before they become widespread supply issues. The changes would primarily affect pharmaceutical companies and the FDA, which oversees drug safety and availability.

YouthBuild for the Future Act

This bill would extend and renew the YouthBuild program, which helps low-income young people ages 16-24 earn high school diplomas or GED certificates while learning job skills through paid work on community development projects. The program serves disadvantaged youth by combining education, job training, and real-world work experience to help them transition into employment or further education. The bill likely includes updates to how the program operates and may adjust funding levels or eligibility requirements.

Artemis Accords Authorization Act

The Artemis Accords are international agreements that set rules for how countries should cooperate on space exploration, particularly regarding the moon and other celestial bodies. This bill would authorize the United States to participate in and implement these accords, affecting how American space agencies, private space companies, and astronauts operate in space exploration missions. The legislation essentially gives official congressional approval for the U.S. to join other nations in following shared space exploration guidelines.

FAITH Act

This bill would ban organizations from charging fees or requiring payments as a condition for people to participate in religious activities or services. The law would apply to churches, religious nonprofits, and other faith-based organizations, protecting individuals from being denied access to worship, prayer, or other religious practices because they cannot afford to pay.

A resolution prohibiting the use of funds for travel by Senators to or from their residence during Government shutdowns.

During government shutdowns, this resolution would prevent senators from using taxpayer money to pay for travel between Washington and their home states. The measure aims to hold elected officials accountable by requiring them to cover their own travel costs when the government is not operating normally, rather than continuing to receive government-funded transportation while other federal employees and services are affected by the shutdown.

Foreign Service Age and Integration and Reform (FAIR) Act of 2026

The bill would likely reform how the U.S. Foreign Service operates, possibly by changing retirement age requirements, updating hiring and promotion practices, or modernizing how diplomats and embassy staff are managed. Based on its title, it appears aimed at making the Foreign Service more efficient and better integrated across different agencies and departments. The changes would affect career diplomats, embassy employees, and potentially how the U.S. conducts international relations.

USA 6G Global Leadership Act

This bill aims to help the United States develop and lead the next generation of wireless technology (6G) before other countries do, likely through funding research, coordinating government efforts, and potentially supporting American companies working on this technology. The goal is to ensure the U.S. maintains a competitive advantage in telecommunications rather than falling behind countries like China in this critical technology area. It affects tech companies, researchers, and potentially consumers who will eventually use 6G networks.

To prohibit liability against those engaged in the mining, extraction, production, refinement, transportation, distribution, marketing, manufacture, or sale of energy for damages or injunctive or other relief from the use of their products, and for other purposes.

This bill would shield energy companies and workers in the mining, oil, gas, and power industries from lawsuits seeking damages or court orders related to their products' use—meaning people harmed by pollution, climate impacts, or other effects of energy production could not sue these companies for compensation. The protection would apply across the entire energy supply chain, from extraction and refinement through sales to consumers. This would significantly limit the legal recourse available to individuals, communities, and governments seeking to hold energy producers accountable for environmental or health-related harms.

Commission on Advancing Restorative Justice in Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 2026

The bill would create a new advisory commission made up of officials from the Education and Health and Human Services departments to study and recommend ways schools can use restorative justice practices—approaches that focus on repairing harm and rebuilding relationships rather than traditional punishment—in elementary and secondary schools. The commission would work to advance these practices across the country's public school system. This would primarily affect students, teachers, school administrators, and families looking for alternatives to suspensions and expulsions.

To change the address of the postal facility designated in honor of Specialist Jeffrey L. White, Jr.

This bill would move the postal facility that was named after Specialist Jeffrey L. White, Jr. to a different location. The change would affect mail delivery in the area where the facility is currently located and where it would be relocated.

Securing Local Communities Input in Broadband Development Act

This bill would overturn or block certain decisions made by the Federal Communications Commission, the agency that regulates telecommunications, broadcasting, and internet services. Without knowing the specific FCC actions targeted, the bill appears designed to prevent particular FCC rules or policies from taking effect, which could affect how phone companies, internet providers, and broadcasters operate. The bill is currently under review by the House committee responsible for telecommunications policy.

No Licenses for Illegal Drivers or Truckers Act of 2026

States would lose federal highway funding if they issue driver's licenses or ID cards to people without first verifying they are in the country legally. The bill aims to pressure states to check immigration status before handing out these documents, affecting both state governments that administer licensing programs and immigrants who may have difficulty obtaining identification. This would be enforced through the federal government's control over highway construction and maintenance money that states depend on.

Clean Slate through Repayment Act of 2026

If a borrower repays a federal student loan that went into default, this bill would require that the default mark be removed from their credit report, giving them a fresh financial slate. This would help borrowers rebuild their credit scores after catching up on their payments, making it easier for them to qualify for mortgages, car loans, or other credit in the future. The change would primarily benefit student loan borrowers who have fallen behind but are now able to get current on their payments.

A resolution designating the week of April 13 through April 19, 2026, as "National Osteopathic Medicine Week".

This resolution would officially recognize the week of April 13-19, 2026, as "National Osteopathic Medicine Week" to raise awareness about osteopathic doctors and their approach to treating patients. Osteopathic physicians are licensed medical doctors who receive additional training in manipulating the body's muscles and bones as part of their treatment methods. The designation is largely symbolic and doesn't change any laws or regulations, but it gives the medical profession a designated week for public recognition and education.

Criminal History Access Act of 2026

Criminal History Access Act of 2026 This bill authorizes a new type of entity—peace officer standards and training agencies—to access criminal history record information maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The term peace officer standards and training agency means an agency of a state, the District of Columbia, or a U.S. territory that is authorized to set standards for the hiring, training, ethical conduct, and retention of its law enforcement officers through certification, licensing, or other similar qualification processes.

SOUL Act of 2026

This bill would give U.S. citizens legal ownership rights over their own face, voice, and likeness, preventing companies and individuals from creating digital copies or AI-generated versions of them without permission. It aims to protect people from having their appearance used in deepfakes, unauthorized advertisements, or other digital replications that could damage their reputation or finances. The legislation would likely allow people to sue those who misuse their likeness and establish penalties for violations.

Breast Cancer Stamp Reauthorization Act

The Postal Service would be allowed to continue selling special stamps that cost more than regular postage, with the extra money going to breast cancer research organizations. These stamps, called semipostals, have been used before for other causes and let people support medical research simply by choosing to buy them instead of regular stamps. The bill extends the program so the Postal Service can keep issuing breast cancer research stamps beyond the current expiration date.

Prison Libraries Act of 2026

The federal government would provide money to help prisons set up or improve their libraries so inmates have access to books, legal resources, and educational materials. This funding would support states and local prison systems in building collections and hiring librarians to help incarcerated people with legal research, education, and rehabilitation while serving their sentences.

FLEX Act

This bill would give states and school districts more freedom in how they use federal money to plan and start charter schools, reducing restrictions on what that funding can be used for. Charter schools are publicly funded but independently operated schools that often have more flexibility than traditional public schools in their curriculum and operations. The change would make it easier for communities to establish new charter schools by loosening federal requirements around how planning and startup funds must be spent.

The FBI Hiring Review Act

The bill would make changes to how U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection recruit, hire, and train their employees. These agencies would likely face new requirements or receive additional resources to improve their hiring standards and training programs for border agents and immigration officers. The changes could affect how quickly these agencies fill job openings and what qualifications new employees must have.

Virginia Plan to Reduce Gun Violence Act of 2026

This bill would make changes to federal gun laws, though the specific reforms are not detailed in the available information. Without knowing the exact provisions, the bill could potentially affect gun owners, manufacturers, law enforcement, or public safety depending on whether it aims to expand or restrict firearm regulations. The proposal is currently under review by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Rehabilitation Through Reading Act of 2026

The federal government would have to use an independent review process before removing books from prison libraries, rather than allowing individual prison officials to make those decisions alone. This would give inmates and outside reviewers a chance to challenge book bans and ensure decisions are made fairly and consistently across all federal prisons. The change aims to protect access to reading materials while still allowing prisons to maintain security and order.

Helping Ensure Reliable Opportunities in Child Care for Military Families Act

This bill would help military families access affordable and reliable child care by expanding child care services and support for military-connected children. It likely aims to address the challenge that military families often struggle to find quality child care, especially when service members are deployed or stationed in remote areas. The changes would make it easier for military parents to work or serve without worrying about finding safe care for their children.

Restoring Rights of Medical Residents Act

This bill would remove a special legal exemption that allows graduate medical resident matching programs to operate without following normal antitrust laws, which prohibit unfair business practices that limit competition. Currently, these matching programs—which help pair medical school graduates with hospital residency positions—are protected from antitrust lawsuits, but this bill would eliminate that protection and subject them to the same competition rules as other industries. The change could potentially affect how medical residencies are assigned and might increase legal challenges to how these programs operate.

Clean Slate through Consolidation Act

When borrowers consolidate their defaulted federal student loans into a new Direct Consolidation Loan, this bill would require credit reporting agencies to remove the default mark from their credit history once the consolidation is complete. This would help borrowers rebuild their credit scores more quickly after defaulting on student loans, making it easier for them to qualify for mortgages, car loans, and other credit in the future. The change would primarily benefit student loan borrowers who have fallen behind on payments and are trying to get back on track.

Federal Prosecutorial Accountability Act

This bill would prevent federal government lawyers who have been punished by a court for misconduct from temporarily filling in to represent the government in legal cases. The measure aims to ensure that only lawyers in good standing handle government legal matters, protecting the integrity of cases where the federal government is involved.

A bill to extend section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 for 18 months.

This bill would temporarily extend a federal surveillance program that allows U.S. intelligence agencies to collect communications from foreign targets without individual warrants, keeping it in effect for an additional 18 months. The program affects how the government monitors suspected foreign spies and terrorists, though privacy advocates worry it can inadvertently sweep up communications from Americans. The extension gives Congress more time to debate whether to make the program permanent, modify it, or let it expire.

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act on April 13, 2026, and recognizing its significant impact on the sustainable and profitable management of the Nation's fishery resources.

This is a commemorative resolution marking the 50th anniversary of a major law that governs how the U.S. manages its ocean fisheries, recognizing the law's role in helping keep fish populations healthy while allowing commercial and recreational fishing to remain profitable. The resolution honors the law's impact on balancing environmental protection with the fishing industry's economic interests. It has no direct policy changes but serves to acknowledge the importance of this foundational fisheries management law.

Federal Mechanical Insulation Act of 2026

This bill would expand federal energy efficiency programs to recognize mechanical insulation—the material wrapped around pipes and equipment in buildings—as a qualifying energy-saving upgrade, making it easier for building owners and businesses to get tax breaks or rebates when they install it. Mechanical insulation reduces heat loss from pipes and equipment, lowering heating and cooling costs and water waste, so the change would encourage more buildings to adopt this relatively simple efficiency improvement.

Defining Dealer Act

This bill would clarify what counts as a "dealer" under federal securities laws, which affects how financial firms that buy and sell securities are regulated and what rules they must follow. The change could impact investment firms, banks, and other financial companies by either expanding or narrowing which businesses fall under stricter regulatory requirements. The House Financial Services Committee is currently reviewing the proposal.

Clean Slate through Rehabilitation Act

If a borrower successfully rehabilitates a defaulted student loan by making on-time payments, this bill would require that the default and negative credit history be completely removed from their credit report. This would help borrowers who have gotten back on track with their loans rebuild their credit scores and improve their ability to qualify for mortgages, car loans, and other credit in the future. The change would primarily benefit student loan borrowers who have struggled with payments but have demonstrated they can repay their debts.

SAFER Act of 2026

This bill would protect people's investment accounts, stocks, and digital assets from being taken by states under "unclaimed property" laws, which currently allow states to seize dormant accounts after a period of inactivity. The legislation aims to prevent financial institutions from handing over these assets to state governments too quickly, giving account owners more time and opportunity to claim their own money before the state takes it. This would mainly affect individual investors and savers who might lose track of old accounts, as well as the financial institutions that hold these assets.

A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against the Islamic Republic of Iran that have not been authorized by Congress.

This joint resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran unless a declaration of war or authorization to use military force for such purpose has been enacted. The resolution specifies that it shall not be construed to prevent the United States from defending against an attack on the United States or its personnel or facilities in other nations.

Taxpayer Funds Oversight and Accountability Act

This bill would change how the federal government manages its finances and accounting systems across all agencies. The specific modifications would likely improve financial reporting, reduce waste, or update outdated money-management practices that affect how taxpayer dollars are tracked and spent. The bill is still in early stages and hasn't been assigned to a specific committee yet.

Ensuring Access to Lower-Cost Medicines for Seniors Act

Ensuring Access to Lower-Cost Medicines for Seniors Act This bill requires prescription drug plans under the Medicare prescription drug benefit to include generic drugs and biosimilars on their formularies. Specifically, the bill requires plans that use formularies to include generic drugs and biosimilars on the formularies and without any requirements (e.g., prior authorization requirements) that are more restrictive as compared to those for brand-name drugs and biologics. Plans that use cost-sharing tiers must also have specific tiers for generic drugs and biosimilars, in accordance with certain limitations.

No TAP Act of 2026

This bill would eliminate a requirement that states set aside a portion of their federal highway funding specifically for transportation alternative programs like bike lanes, pedestrian paths, and transit improvements. The change would give states more flexibility to spend their transportation dollars however they choose, though it could reduce funding available for non-car infrastructure projects. The bill affects state transportation departments and communities that rely on these alternative transportation programs.

Expressing support for rural communities across the United States as stewards of the environment, major suppliers of United States energy resources, critical providers of food production and manufacturing capacity, and drivers of national economic stability, and recognizing the work of the House of Representatives in the 119th Congress in support of those vital communities.

This resolution states that the House of Representatives has demonstrated support for U.S. prosperity and economic growth, especially in rural communities, through policies related to energy, health care, manufacturing, and broadband connectivity.

PROTECT Act of 2026

This bill would change how the H-1B visa program works, which allows U.S. companies to hire skilled foreign workers for specialty jobs. The changes would likely make it harder for employers to use these visas, though the bill would create exceptions for certain critical professions like healthcare or other vital fields. The bill affects employers who rely on foreign talent, workers competing for these jobs, and the industries that depend on specialized skills.

6PPD Task Force Act

A chemical called 6PPD, used in tire manufacturing, breaks down into a toxic substance called 6PPD-Q that is killing coho salmon in rivers and streams. This bill would create a task force to study the problem and fund research into safer alternatives to 6PPD, affecting tire manufacturers, environmental agencies, and communities that depend on healthy salmon populations.

Modernization of Derivatives Tax Act of 2026

This bill would update how the federal government taxes derivatives—complex financial instruments that investors use to bet on or hedge against price changes in stocks, bonds, and other assets—and the investments they're based on. The changes would modernize rules that haven't kept pace with how financial markets actually work today, potentially affecting how investment firms, hedge funds, and individual investors report gains and losses on their taxes. The bill is still in early stages and hasn't been assigned specific details yet.

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that President Donald Trump, his Special Envoy Steven Witkoff, and all Federal officials must comply with the Foreign Emoluments Clause of the Constitution by immediately turning over to the Department of the Treasury any payments received from the United Arab Emirates or any other foreign state and divest from all business interests linked to foreign governments.

This resolution expresses the House's position that President Trump, his special envoy, and other federal officials should comply with a constitutional rule that prevents them from accepting payments or gifts from foreign governments by turning over any money received from the United Arab Emirates or other countries to the Treasury and selling off business interests connected to foreign governments. The measure is a statement of congressional opinion rather than a binding law, and it has been sent to the House Oversight Committee for consideration.

A resolution recognizing and honoring National Mushroom Day and the contributions of Chester and Berks Counties to the national mushroom industry and to healthy diets.

This resolution supports the recognition of National Mushroom Day and honors Pennsylvania for its contributions to the national mushroom industry.

IGO Anti-Boycott Act

IGO Anti-Boycott Act This bill penalizes U.S. persons (individuals or entities) that participate in certain boycotts imposed by international governmental organizations (IGOs). The bill expands an existing law that prohibits various actions by U.S. persons in relation to boycotts imposed by foreign governments on a country that is friendly to the United States and not itself the object of a U.S. boycott. This bill applies those prohibitions to similar boycotts imposed by IGOs. Prohibited actions include (1) refusing to do business with companies organized under the laws of the boycotted country, if the refusal is pursuant to an agreement with or request from the country or IGO imposing the boycott; (2) furnishing information about whether any person has a business relationship with or in the boycotted country; and (3) furnishing information about whether someone is associated with charitable or fraternal organizations that support the boycotted country. Criminal penalties for willful violations of this law include fines of up to $1 million. In addition to such fines, individuals may be imprisoned for up to 20 years. Civil penalties may include fines and revocations of export licenses for certain national security-related items. The bill also requires the President to annually submit to Congress and make available to the public a report describing these boycotts and listing the foreign countries and international governmental organizations involved in fostering or imposing them.

Responder and Recovery Safety in EV Fires Act

The federal government would create a team of experts to study how firefighters and emergency responders should handle electric vehicle fires, then publish guidelines and best practices for dealing with these incidents. This would help first responders across the country better prepare for and respond to EV fires, which can behave differently from traditional gasoline vehicle fires. The effort aims to improve public safety as more electric vehicles hit the roads.

Original Alternative Data for Additional Credit FHA Pilot Program Reauthorization Act

This bill would create a test program that allows mortgage lenders to automatically share additional credit information with borrowers and people applying for mortgages, helping them better understand their creditworthiness. The program aims to make the mortgage process more transparent by giving people access to more detailed credit data that could affect their loan approval and interest rates. This would primarily affect homebuyers, current homeowners refinancing their mortgages, and the banks and lenders that originate these loans.

Exchange Rate Accountability Act of 2026

This bill would likely give the U.S. government tools to monitor and potentially take action against countries that manipulate their currency values to gain unfair trade advantages, affecting American workers and businesses competing in global markets. The measure would probably require the Treasury Department to identify countries engaging in currency manipulation and could lead to trade penalties or negotiations to address the practice. Workers in manufacturing and export industries would be the primary beneficiaries if the bill successfully levels the playing field in international trade.

Stop CHEATERS Act

This bill would give the IRS money to modernize its outdated computer systems and hire more staff to catch tax cheaters and improve customer service. The funding would help the agency process tax returns faster, answer phone calls from confused taxpayers, and conduct more audits of people and businesses who may not be paying what they owe. Essentially, it's an investment to make the IRS work more efficiently and collect taxes more effectively.

ENDS Chinese Vapes Act of 2026

This bill would increase financial penalties for people and companies that illegally import or carelessly bring vaping devices and e-cigarettes into the United States, with harsher fines for repeat offenders. The penalties would get progressively steeper each time someone violates the rule, encouraging importers to follow the law or face increasingly expensive consequences. The measure targets both intentional smuggling and negligent violations by customs violators and importers.

OPTIONS Act

This bill would allow employers to give workers a choice in how they receive certain tax-advantaged benefits, such as deciding between different types of retirement savings plans or health insurance options rather than accepting a single employer-chosen plan. The change would give employees more flexibility in selecting benefits that better match their individual needs while still receiving the same tax breaks that employers currently offer. Workers in companies that adopt this approach could customize their benefits packages to prioritize what matters most to them.

Millionaires Surtax Act

The bill would add an extra tax on top of regular income taxes for people earning above a certain income threshold. This additional tax would apply only to high earners and would increase the total amount of federal income tax they owe. The money collected would go to the federal government's general revenue.

Autofill Act of 2026

The bill would require the IRS to create downloadable tax forms that automatically fill in your personal information, so taxpayers wouldn't have to manually enter details like their name, address, and income that the government already has on file. This would make filing taxes faster and easier for individuals and families, though it would likely affect tax preparation companies that currently profit from helping people complete forms. The proposal aims to simplify the tax filing process for ordinary Americans while potentially reducing errors caused by manual data entry.

Millionaires Surtax Act

This bill would add an extra tax on top of regular income taxes for wealthy individuals, meaning people earning above a certain income threshold would pay a higher percentage of their earnings to the federal government. The additional revenue would go toward federal programs and deficit reduction. High-income earners would be the primary group affected by this change.

Bureau of Industry and Security License Administration Enhancement Act

This bill would likely improve how the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security processes export licenses and approvals, potentially speeding up the review process or clarifying rules for companies that want to sell goods and technology abroad. The changes would affect businesses involved in international trade, particularly those in sensitive industries like defense, semiconductors, or advanced technology. The goal appears to be making the licensing system more efficient while maintaining national security controls.

Protecting American Consumers from Robocalls Act

This bill would strengthen protections against unwanted telemarketing calls by expanding the Do Not Call registry to cover all phone users and making it easier for people to sue companies that violate these rules. It would also change how the law defines "automatic dialing systems" to capture more types of robocalls and similar technology. The changes would give consumers more power to stop spam calls and hold violators accountable.

Protecting American Consumers from Robocalls Act

This bill would strengthen protections against unwanted telemarketing calls by expanding the Do Not Call registry to cover all phone users and making it easier for people to sue companies that violate these rules. It would also update the definition of automatic dialing systems to reflect modern calling technology. The changes would primarily affect telemarketing companies and give individual consumers more legal power to stop harassment from unwanted calls.

TRAVEL Act of 2026

The bill would allow the Department of Veterans Affairs to send doctors to U.S. territories and possessions like Puerto Rico and Guam to provide temporary medical care to veterans in those areas. This would help veterans in remote locations access VA healthcare services without having to travel to the mainland. The measure aims to improve medical coverage for veterans living in these underserved regions.

Preparing Superfund for Climate Change Act of 2026

This bill would require the government to consider climate change impacts when cleaning up contaminated sites under existing environmental law, potentially making cleanup standards stricter to account for how pollution and climate change interact. The change would affect companies responsible for cleaning up hazardous waste sites, environmental agencies overseeing the cleanup process, and communities living near contaminated areas.

Fraud Prevention and Accountability Act

The bill would create a new office within the Treasury Department focused on catching fraud and protecting government programs, and establish a permanent government-wide Inspector General position dedicated to investigating fraud and ensuring taxpayer money is spent properly. It would give these offices the authority to share information across different federal agencies to better detect and prevent waste and fraud. This would affect federal agencies, contractors, and ultimately taxpayers by strengthening oversight of how government funds are used.

Strengthening Export Controls Compliance Act

This bill would likely tighten rules and penalties for companies that illegally export controlled goods and technology to foreign countries, particularly those considered national security risks. It probably aims to give government agencies better tools to catch violations and punish companies that break export laws, affecting manufacturers, technology firms, and importers/exporters who deal with sensitive materials.

A resolution expressing the sense of Congress that the United States should prioritize bilateral security partnerships over multilateral security partnerships and institutions.

This resolution expresses Congress's view that the United States should focus on building direct security relationships with individual countries rather than relying on multilateral organizations like NATO or the United Nations. The measure does not create new laws or require any specific actions, but instead states a preference for how the country should approach its defense and security partnerships going forward.

Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 6387) to amend the Clean Air Act to require revisions to regulations governing the review and handling of air quality monitoring data influenced by exceptional events or actions to mitigate wildfire risk; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 6398) to amend the Clean Air Act relating to review by the Environmental Protection Agency of proposed legislation; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 6409) to amend the Clean Air Act to clarify standards for emissions emanating from outside of the United States, and for other purposes; and providing for consideration of the resolution (H. Res. 1156) expressing support for tax policies that support working families.

This resolution provides for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 6387) to amend the Clean Air Act to require revisions to regulations governing the review and handling of air quality monitoring data influenced by exceptional events or actions to mitigate wildfire risk; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 6398) to amend the Clean Air Act relating to review by the Environmental Protection Agency of proposed legislation; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 6409) to amend the Clean Air Act to clarify standards for emissions emanating from outside of the United States, and for other purposes; and providing for consideration of the resolution (H. Res. 1156) expressing support for tax policies that support working families.

CERTAIN Act

This bill would set up new rules for how the federal government ends permits and approvals (called "authorizations") for projects, makes sure reviews of these permits are completed on time and coordinated across agencies, and allows people to challenge government decisions about permits in court. The bill affects companies and individuals seeking federal permits for activities like construction, energy development, and transportation projects, as well as the federal agencies that issue these permits. The specific details of what changes would be made aren't clear from the title alone, but the bill is designed to make the permit process more predictable and accountable.

Protecting American Competition Act of 2026

Based on the title and referral to the Foreign Affairs Committee, this bill likely aims to protect American businesses and workers from unfair foreign competition, possibly through trade policies, tariffs, or restrictions on imports. The specific measures could include rules about how foreign companies operate in the U.S. market or requirements to buy American-made products in certain industries. Without more details on the bill's contents, the exact impact on consumers, workers, and businesses remains unclear, but it would probably affect trade relationships with other countries and prices for imported goods.

CREATES Act

The bill would direct the Labor Department to create a grant program that gives money to states to build or upgrade digital systems for storing and managing professional credentials and certifications. This would help workers, employers, and educational institutions more easily track, verify, and share information about skills certifications, licenses, and other qualifications that workers have earned. The goal is to make it simpler for people to prove their qualifications when applying for jobs or moving between states.

RSF Terrorist Designation Act

The government would be required to thoroughly examine whether Sudan's Rapid Support Forces should be officially labeled as a terrorist organization, which would trigger international sanctions and restrictions on their activities and finances. This designation would affect how the U.S. government can interact with the group and would signal to other countries that the organization poses a serious security threat. The decision would ultimately rest with the State Department after completing this review.

Impeaching Peter B. Hegseth, Secretary of Defense of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

This is an impeachment resolution that would remove Peter B. Hegseth from his position as Secretary of Defense if approved by Congress, based on allegations of serious wrongdoing. The resolution has been sent to the House Judiciary Committee for review and investigation. If the committee votes to recommend impeachment and the full House approves it, the case would then go to the Senate for a trial to determine whether Hegseth should be removed from office.

Consumer Protection Remedies Act of 2026

This bill would expand the Federal Trade Commission's power to seek court orders that force companies to compensate consumers for harm caused by unfair or deceptive business practices, rather than just stopping the illegal behavior. Currently, the FTC has limited ability to recover money for victims, so this change would make it easier for the agency to obtain refunds or damages on behalf of consumers who were wronged. The bill affects companies engaged in unfair trade practices and the consumers harmed by them.

JOAN Act

This bill would improve how different federal agencies work together when reviewing applications for natural gas pipelines and related projects under the Natural Gas Act. By coordinating better between agencies, the goal is to streamline the approval process while ensuring environmental and safety standards are still met. The bill affects natural gas companies seeking permits, environmental groups monitoring projects, and communities where pipelines might be built.

SSI Savings and Efficiency Act of 2026

This bill would change how the Supplemental Security Income program counts what disabled, blind, and elderly people receive, by not counting food, shelter, or other basic items given to them as "income" when determining their benefits. Currently, when someone receives free housing or meals from family or friends, it can reduce their SSI payments, but this bill would stop that from happening. The change would allow low-income disabled and elderly people to keep more of their SSI benefits even when they receive help with basic needs from others.

A resolution supporting the goals and ideals of the 2026 Day of Silence in bringing attention to anti-LGBTQI+ bullying, harassment, discrimination, and other forms of victimization faced by individuals in schools, and calling on communities across the country to take action to demand equal educational opportunity, basic civil rights protections, and freedom from erasure for all students, particularly LGBTQI+ young people, in K-12 schools.

This resolution expresses support for the 2026 Day of Silence, an annual event where students stay silent to raise awareness about bullying and discrimination faced by LGBTQI+ youth in schools. It calls on communities nationwide to take action to protect LGBTQI+ students from harassment, ensure they have equal educational opportunities, and prevent their erasure in K-12 schools. The resolution is symbolic and does not create new laws, but rather urges schools and communities to address anti-LGBTQI+ bullying and discrimination.

Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 8035) to amend the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to extend the authorities of title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 through October 20, 2027, and for other purposes.

This resolution provides for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 8035) to amend the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to extend the authorities of title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 through October 20, 2027, and for other purposes.

Keep Public Funds in Public Schools Act

This bill would eliminate a tax break that currently allows individuals to reduce their federal taxes by donating money to organizations that provide scholarships to students. The change would affect donors who contribute to these scholarship programs, potentially making such donations less attractive since they would no longer receive a tax deduction for their gifts.

District of Columbia Firearm Freedom Act

This bill would loosen Washington D.C.'s gun laws by allowing residents and visitors to carry concealed firearms without a permit, removing restrictions on certain types of firearms, and making it easier to buy guns from dealers in nearby states. The changes would apply to D.C. residents and U.S. citizens visiting the district, and would eliminate what the bill describes as unnecessary barriers to gun ownership and carrying. The proposal is currently under review by congressional committees.

Improving IRS Customer Service Act

This bill aims to make the IRS easier to deal with by improving customer service for people filing taxes and responding to IRS inquiries. The changes could include things like shorter wait times, clearer communications, and better access to help when taxpayers have questions or problems with their returns. The bill would affect millions of Americans who interact with the IRS each year.

Semiconductor Controls Effectiveness Act of 2026

This bill would likely strengthen or modify U.S. rules that control the export of advanced semiconductor technology and equipment to other countries, particularly those seen as national security concerns. The measure would probably give the government better tools to enforce these restrictions and prevent sensitive chip-making technology from reaching adversaries. Companies that manufacture or export semiconductors and computer equipment would be most directly affected by any new requirements or compliance rules.

Reforming Disaster Recovery Act

The bill would create a new fund to help communities rebuild housing and infrastructure after disasters like hurricanes, floods, or earthquakes by giving the Housing and Urban Development Department money to distribute through grants to affected areas. Communities could use this assistance to repair homes, rebuild public facilities, and support recovery efforts without having to wait for case-by-case federal approval. This would help disaster victims and local governments recover faster by having dedicated funding ready to deploy when disasters strike.

Swalwell Act

Currently, taxpayers pay for settlements when members of Congress or their senior staff are accused of workplace misconduct like harassment or discrimination, but this bill would require those individuals to pay for their own settlements instead. The bill would also make information about past settlements public (while keeping victims' identities private) and ensure that any criminal allegations are reported to the Department of Justice for investigation. This change would hold elected officials and their top aides personally accountable for their conduct rather than shifting the cost to ordinary Americans.

Recognizing the enduring cultural and historical significance of emancipation in the Nation's capital on the anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln's signing of the District of Columbia Compensated Emancipation Act, which established the "first freed" on April 16, 1862, and celebrating passage of the District of Columbia statehood bill in the House of Representatives.

This resolution honors the historical significance of April 16, 1862, when President Lincoln signed the law that freed enslaved people in Washington, D.C., making them the first to be emancipated by federal action during the Civil War. It also celebrates the House's passage of a bill to make Washington, D.C. a state. The resolution is primarily ceremonial and does not create new laws or policies.

Patient Safety and Whistleblower Protections Act

This bill would protect doctors, nurses, and other health care workers from being fired or punished if they speak up about problems with patient care quality or safety at their workplace. The protections would apply to health care providers who report concerns internally to their employers or to government agencies, helping ensure that patient safety issues get addressed without workers fearing retaliation.

Stop Illegal Aliens Drunk Driving

This bill would expand the types of crimes that automatically make someone deportable by adding serious drunk driving offenses to the definition of "aggravated felony" under immigration law. Currently, only the most severe drunk driving convictions can lead to deportation, but this change would make it easier for immigration authorities to deport non-citizens convicted of certain drunk driving crimes. The change would affect immigrants, including legal permanent residents, who are convicted of these offenses.

Ban Presidential Plunder of Taxpayer Funds Act

This bill would prevent current and former Presidents and Vice Presidents from receiving money damages if they win lawsuits against the federal government, even if they successfully prove the government wronged them. The change would apply to these officials specifically, while other federal employees and private citizens could still collect damages in similar situations. The bill is currently under review by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Abolish the CMMI Act

This bill would shut down the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, a federal agency that tests new ways to deliver healthcare and control costs within the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The proposal would affect millions of Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries, healthcare providers, and researchers who currently participate in or benefit from the center's pilot programs and studies. Eliminating this agency would end ongoing experiments designed to improve patient care and reduce government healthcare spending.

A resolution supporting the goals and ideals of National Safe Digging Month.

This resolution expresses support for National Safe Digging Month and encourages all homeowners and excavators to call 811 to find the location of underground utility lines before digging.

A bill to prohibit the Export-Import Bank of the United States from providing financing to persons with seriously delinquent tax debt.

This bill prohibits the Export-Import Bank of the United States from providing financing to a person with seriously delinquent tax debt or for a project in which any participant has seriously delinquent tax debt. The bill allows the President to waive this prohibition if the President (1) determines that there are urgent and compelling circumstances significantly affecting U.S. interests that require the financing to be provided; and (2) submits to Congress, within 30 days after making the determination, a report that includes the rationale for the determination and relevant supporting information.

Working Parents Tax Relief Act of 2026

The bill would give larger tax refunds to working parents with young children through an expanded earned income tax credit, which is a government benefit that reduces taxes owed or increases refunds for low- and moderate-income workers. This would put more money back in the pockets of families with small children who work but earn relatively modest incomes. The change would primarily benefit working parents struggling to afford childcare and other expenses related to raising young kids.

Commemorating the 5-year remembrance of the April 15, 2021, mass shooting at a FedEx Ground facility in Indianapolis, Indiana, and denouncing all forms of anti-Asian hate, including the resurgence of xenophobic and anti-immigrant rhetoric.

This resolution honors the victims of a 2021 mass shooting at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis and calls for the country to reject anti-Asian hate crimes and xenophobic rhetoric targeting immigrants. The measure serves as a formal statement from Congress condemning violence and discrimination against Asian Americans and immigrant communities. It does not create new laws or policies, but rather expresses the legislative body's official position on these issues.

For the Fans Act

This bill would make it easier for people to watch professional sports games by addressing how broadcasts are sold and distributed to consumers. It likely aims to prevent sports leagues from making games unnecessarily hard to find or expensive to watch by limiting exclusive broadcasting deals or requiring more games to be available on widely accessible channels. The changes would affect sports fans, broadcasters, streaming services, and professional sports leagues.

To amend title 28, United States Code, to prohibit Presidents and Vice Presidents from receiving damages payments from the United States, and for other purposes.

This bill would prevent sitting or former Presidents and Vice Presidents from receiving monetary damages or settlements paid by the federal government in lawsuits against the United States. The change would apply to cases where these officials might otherwise be entitled to compensation for injuries, property damage, or other legal claims, effectively barring them from collecting taxpayer money in such situations. The bill has been sent to the House Judiciary Committee for consideration.

A resolution prohibiting the use of funds for official travel by Senators during Government shutdowns.

This resolution would prevent senators from using taxpayer money to travel on official business whenever the federal government shuts down due to budget disagreements. The rule would apply to all senators regardless of party and would remain in effect until the government reopens and normal funding resumes. The goal is to ensure that lawmakers face the same travel restrictions as other federal employees during shutdowns.

Modal Parity in Permitting Act

This bill would clarify what kinds of financial help are available to transit agencies and local governments that receive federal funding for public transportation projects when they need to buy land or property rights for those projects. The changes would make it clearer what expenses related to property acquisition the federal government will help pay for, which could affect how transit agencies plan and budget for expanding bus, rail, and other public transportation systems.

Protecting Families from Fertility Fraud Act of 2026

This bill would make it a federal crime to abuse, harm, or exploit people undergoing fertility treatments or to misuse eggs, sperm, or embryos without consent. It would protect patients at fertility clinics and research facilities from unauthorized use of their reproductive materials and physical harm during medical procedures. The law would apply to doctors, clinic staff, researchers, and anyone else involved in assisted reproductive technology services.

Stop Support for UNRWA Act of 2026

This bill would prevent U.S. foreign aid from going to Hamas or organizations controlled by it, and would cut funding to United Nations agencies if they are led by countries that the U.S. considers to support terrorism. The restrictions aim to ensure American taxpayer money doesn't indirectly support terrorist organizations or countries designated as state sponsors of terrorism through international institutions. The bill affects how the U.S. government distributes aid abroad and which international organizations receive American funding.

Safer Prisons Act of 2026

This bill would make it a more serious crime to physically attack a correctional officer who works in federal prisons, likely increasing prison sentences for people convicted of such assaults. The change would give judges the ability to impose harsher punishments on inmates or visitors who harm prison staff members. The bill aims to better protect federal prison workers from violence on the job.

Deescalation Drone Pilot Program Act of 2026

Police departments and other public safety agencies would be able to test small, unarmed drones designed to calm down dangerous situations without using force, such as drones that could distract or communicate with people in crisis. The program would let law enforcement try out these deescalation tools in a limited way to see if they work safely and effectively. This would affect police departments, emergency responders, and communities looking for alternatives to more aggressive tactics during tense situations.

Condemning attacks on civilians in Sudan and calling for an end to external support to the warring parties and for efforts to promote a negotiated settlement of the war.

This resolution expresses Congress's disapproval of violence against civilians caught in Sudan's ongoing war and calls on the U.S. government to push for a peaceful settlement between the fighting groups. It also urges other countries to stop providing military support to either side of the conflict, which would help reduce the bloodshed and create conditions for negotiations to end the war.

Electing Members to certain standing committees of the House of Representatives.

This resolution allows the House of Representatives to elect members to fill open positions on its standing committees, which are the permanent groups that handle specific policy areas like healthcare, defense, and taxes. The resolution has already passed the House and is now finalized, meaning committee assignments can proceed as planned.

SCALE Act

The government would create a yearly process to decide which countries can buy advanced computer chips from American companies, with the Commerce Department and intelligence officials working together to set these restrictions. This would give the U.S. more control over selling sensitive semiconductor technology to other nations, particularly those that might be security concerns. The policy would affect chip manufacturers and technology companies that export these products internationally.

Trump Accounts for All Generations Act

This bill would make permanent a pilot program that allows certain workers to set aside pre-tax money in special savings accounts, similar to existing retirement or health savings accounts. The change would give more people access to these tax-advantaged accounts on a permanent basis rather than having the program expire. Workers and families would benefit by being able to save money with tax breaks, while the government would collect less tax revenue from these savings.

Deterring American AI Model Theft Act of 2026

This bill would create legal penalties and enforcement tools to prevent foreign countries and companies from stealing American artificial intelligence technology and research. It likely aims to protect U.S. AI companies' competitive advantages and intellectual property by establishing consequences for theft or unauthorized access to AI models and training data. The measure would affect AI developers, tech companies, and potentially government agencies involved in monitoring and prosecuting technology theft.

Revitalizing America’s Schoolyards Act of 2026

The federal government would provide money to schools to improve and upgrade their outdoor play areas and schoolyards, making them safer, more engaging, and better equipped for students to learn and exercise. Schools could use these grants to add new equipment, fix existing facilities, plant trees and gardens, or redesign spaces to encourage physical activity and outdoor learning. This would help schools across the country, particularly those with limited budgets, create better outdoor environments for their students.

BIS Licensing Efficiency Act of 2026

This bill would streamline the process the Commerce Department uses to approve or deny export licenses for controlled goods and technology, likely making decisions faster and more efficient. The changes would affect companies that export sensitive items like advanced electronics or software, as well as the government agencies that review these requests to protect national security. The goal is to reduce delays in the licensing process while maintaining safeguards against exports that could harm U.S. interests.

Tech to Save Moms Act

The federal government would provide grants to hospitals, clinics, and health organizations to test and expand programs that use technology and teamwork to improve care for pregnant women and new mothers. These grants would fund projects that share best practices, train healthcare workers, and use tools like video conferencing or online learning to help reduce maternal deaths and complications, particularly in underserved communities. The money would support both evaluating whether these approaches work and scaling up the successful ones nationwide.

Expressing support for the recognition of April as "National Arab American Heritage Month" (NAAHM) and celebrating the heritage and culture of Arab Americans in the United States.

This resolution would officially recognize April as National Arab American Heritage Month, allowing the federal government to celebrate and honor the contributions, history, and culture of Arab Americans across the country. The measure is largely symbolic and doesn't create new laws or programs, but it gives formal recognition to Arab American communities and their place in American society. It affects Arab Americans and anyone interested in learning about this group's heritage and achievements.

No Tax on Overtime for All Workers Act

This bill would let workers deduct certain overtime pay they receive from their taxable income, similar to how some other work-related expenses can reduce what people owe in taxes. The change would primarily benefit employees who regularly work extra hours and want to lower their overall tax burden. The proposal is currently being reviewed by the Senate Finance Committee.

Donald J. Trump Wealth Tax Act of 2026

This proposal would create a one-time tax on wealthy individuals and trusts whose net worth exceeds $10 million, taxing only the amount above that $10 million threshold. The tax would apply to a small number of the wealthiest Americans and could generate revenue for the federal government, though it would not affect the vast majority of households or businesses. The measure is currently under review by the House Committee on Ways and Means.

Protecting Americans’ Retirement Savings From Politics Act

This bill would restrict how retirement investment funds can use their shareholders' money to influence political campaigns and elections. The legislation aims to prevent pension funds and other retirement savings vehicles from spending workers' retirement money on political activities without their direct consent. It would primarily affect large investment firms, pension funds, and the workers whose retirement savings are managed by these institutions.

Build More Power Act

Based on the title and committee referrals, this bill likely aims to increase electricity generation capacity in the United States, possibly through streamlining permitting processes, encouraging new power plant construction, or expanding grid infrastructure. The referral to both the Energy and Commerce Committee and the Science, Space, and Technology Committee suggests it may address multiple aspects of power generation, from traditional energy sources to emerging technologies. The bill would affect energy companies, utilities, and potentially consumers through changes to how power projects are approved and built.

Recognizing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for their work in protecting communities from violent criminals and illegal aliens.

This resolution formally recognizes and praises U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for their law enforcement activities related to immigration enforcement and public safety.

Improving Retirement Security for Family Caregivers Act of 2026

This bill would allow family members who provide unpaid care for relatives—such as elderly parents or disabled family members—to set aside money in a Roth IRA retirement account, which normally requires earned income to contribute. Currently, people who don't have a job or official income can't save for retirement this way, even if they're doing important caregiving work at home. The change would help family caregivers build retirement savings while they're focused on caring for loved ones.

Senior Hunger Prevention Act of 2026

Senior Hunger Prevention Act of 2026 This bill expands and modifies nutrition programs for older adults and adults with disabilities, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP). Under the bill, a household's eligibility for SNAP benefits may be certified for 36 months if all adult household members are elderly or disabled, an increase from 24 months. The bill also expands the SNAP medical expense deduction and increases the minimum allotment for households with one and two persons. The Department of Agriculture (USDA) must establish an elderly simplified application program that allows a state to implement a streamlined SNAP application and certification process for households where all adult household members are elderly or disabled and have no earned income. The bill also directs USDA to authorize public-private partnerships between USDA, retail food stores participating in SNAP, and community-based organizations to provide free or low-cost food delivery under SNAP, including through the use of private funds. Further, the bill reauthorizes CSFP, provides additional funding for the program, and expands eligibility to include low-income adults with disabilities. CSFP benefits may also be certified for 36 months. Currently, benefits may be certified for not less than one year, but not more than three years. The bill also expands eligibility for the Seniors Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) to include adults with disabilities, provide a 36-month certification period, and include minimum and maximum benefit amounts. Under the bill, USDA must also establish various related grant programs.

Retirement Annuity Supplement Clarity Act

This bill would require that when a court orders someone to receive a supplemental annuity payment (extra retirement income), the court's written decision must explicitly state that this payment is required. The change affects federal employees and retirees whose retirement benefits might be modified through legal proceedings, ensuring there's no confusion about whether courts actually intended to order these additional payments.

SEPTIC Act

This bill would allow certain businesses and organizations to exclude money they receive from the government for wastewater management projects from their taxable income, potentially reducing their tax bills. The change would apply to subsidies or grants specifically designated to help pay for treating and managing wastewater, which could benefit municipalities, water utilities, and companies involved in environmental cleanup efforts.

Fostering the Use of Technology to Uphold Regulatory Effectiveness in Supervision Act

The bill would require federal agencies that oversee banks and financial institutions to evaluate and report on their ability to use technology effectively in their work. This could help identify gaps in how well these agencies can monitor financial companies and protect consumers in an increasingly digital banking system.

Providing for the expulsion of Representative Tony Gonzales from the United States House of Representatives.

This resolution would remove Representative Tony Gonzales from the House of Representatives through an expulsion vote, which requires a two-thirds majority of voting members. The measure has been sent to the House Ethics Committee, which typically investigates allegations of misconduct before such actions are considered. If approved by the full House, Gonzales would lose his seat and his district would need to hold a special election to fill the vacancy.

A resolution supporting the goals and ideals of "Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism Awareness Month".

Congress is expressing support for raising public awareness about deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in the legs) and pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs), serious conditions that can be life-threatening if not treated quickly. The resolution encourages doctors, hospitals, patients, and the public to learn more about the warning signs, risk factors, and prevention methods for these blood clot conditions. This symbolic measure passed unanimously and does not create any new laws or programs.

CLEAR LABELS Act

Without specific subjects listed, this bill likely addresses labeling requirements for consumer products, though the exact focus is unclear. Based on its referral to both the Ways and Means Committee (which handles taxes and trade) and the Energy and Commerce Committee (which oversees consumer protection and product regulation), it probably aims to establish clearer or more standardized labeling rules that could affect manufacturers, retailers, and shoppers. The bill is still in the early stages and hasn't yet been debated or voted on.

SAFER Transport Act

The bill aims to improve safety in transportation systems, though the specific measures are not detailed in the available information. Based on its referral to committees overseeing transportation, legal matters, and homeland security, it likely addresses issues such as vehicle safety standards, security protocols, or regulations affecting how people and goods move across the country. The bill is currently being reviewed by multiple congressional committees to determine which parts fall under each committee's area of responsibility.

Biotechnology for All High School Students Act

This bill would likely work to make biotechnology education more accessible to high school students across the country, possibly through funding, curriculum development, or teacher training programs. The goal appears to be ensuring that students from all backgrounds and school districts have the opportunity to learn about biotechnology and related science fields, rather than having these courses limited to well-funded schools. This could help prepare more young people for careers in science and technology.

Senior Hunger Prevention Act of 2026

Senior Hunger Prevention Act of 2026 This bill expands and modifies nutrition programs for older adults and adults with disabilities, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP). Under the bill, a household's eligibility for SNAP benefits may be certified for 36 months if all adult household members are elderly or disabled, an increase from 24 months. The bill also expands the SNAP medical expense deduction and increases the minimum allotment for households with one and two persons. The Department of Agriculture (USDA) must establish an elderly simplified application program that allows a state to implement a streamlined SNAP application and certification process for households where all adult household members are elderly or disabled and have no earned income. The bill also directs USDA to authorize public-private partnerships between USDA, retail food stores participating in SNAP, and community-based organizations to provide free or low-cost food delivery under SNAP, including through the use of private funds. Further, the bill reauthorizes CSFP, provides additional funding for the program, and expands eligibility to include low-income adults with disabilities. CSFP benefits may also be certified for 36 months. Currently, benefits may be certified for not less than one year, but not more than three years. The bill also expands eligibility for the Seniors Farmers Market Nutrition Program to include adults with disabilities, provide a 36-month certification period, and include minimum and maximum benefit amounts. Under the bill, USDA must also establish various related grant programs.

Catching Up Family Caregivers Act of 2026

This bill would let family caregivers save more money for retirement by allowing them to contribute extra amounts to retirement accounts beyond the normal limits, recognizing that caregiving responsibilities may have reduced their earning years. The change would apply to people who take time out of the workforce or work part-time to care for family members, helping them catch up on retirement savings they missed during those caregiving years. This would primarily benefit middle-income families where one person steps back from work to provide care for children, elderly parents, or disabled relatives.

Honoring the 2026 Olympians and Paralympians from Oregon.

This resolution honors Oregon athletes who will compete in the 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Games, recognizing their achievements and representing the state's support for these competitors. The measure is largely ceremonial and does not create new laws or funding, but instead formally acknowledges the accomplishments of these athletes at the national level.

Guard Equal Benefits for Federal Missions Act

When National Guard members are called to help federal law enforcement agencies with full-time duties, this bill would make sure they receive the same benefits and pay as they would get if they were serving during an officially declared national emergency. Currently, these Guard members may receive fewer benefits even though they're doing similar work, so this change would put them on equal footing. The bill affects National Guard soldiers and their families who support federal law enforcement operations.

Supporting the designation of the week of April 20 through April 24, 2026, as "National Home Visiting Week".

This resolution would officially recognize the week of April 20-24, 2026, as "National Home Visiting Week" to raise awareness about programs where trained professionals visit families in their homes to provide support, education, and resources.

Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of the Office Act

This bill would create a special commission to evaluate whether a sitting president is physically or mentally capable of performing the job's essential duties.

Catching Up Family Caregivers Act of 2026

This bill would likely provide financial support or tax benefits to family members who take time out of work to care for elderly relatives, children, or disabled loved ones.

The bill has been sent to the House Ways and Means Committee, which handles tax and spending matters.

SAT Streamlining Act

Based on the title and subjects, this bill likely aims to simplify or modernize regulations related to science, technology, and communications systems, though the specific changes are unclear from the title alone.

Workers, companies, and consumers could be affected depending on which industries and transactions the bill targets.

National POW/MIA Memorial and Museum Act

This bill would establish a national memorial and museum dedicated to American prisoners of war and soldiers missing in action throughout U.S. history.

The project would likely require federal funding and coordination to construct and operate the memorial and educational center.

Cardiovascular Disease Early Detection and Prevention Act of 2026

This bill would likely establish or expand programs to help detect heart disease and related conditions earlier in people's lives, potentially through screening initiatives, research funding, or improved access to preventive care.

To classify qualified locum tenens professionals and advanced care practitioners as independent contractors for the purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 and the National Labor Relations Act.

This bill would allow temporary doctors, nurses, and other advanced healthcare workers hired on a short-term basis to be classified as independent contractors rather than employees, which would exempt them from certain federal labor protections like minimum wage requirements and the right to organize unions. The change would affect how these healthcare professionals are treated under federal labor laws, potentially giving healthcare facilities more flexibility in hiring but reducing some worker protections for these temporary staff members.

This would benefit HBCU students and faculty by creating more opportunities for advanced research and potentially boosting economic development in communities where these colleges are located.

GRATS Act

I don't have enough information to write an accurate summary. The bill title "GRATS Act" and the lack of listed subjects don't clearly indicate what policy area this bill addresses or what it would do. To provide a meaningful summary for a general audience, I would need additional details about the bill's actual provisions or subject matter.

Small County PILT Parity Act

This bill would adjust how the federal government distributes payments to small counties that contain federal lands, aiming to make the funding formula fairer for less populated areas. Counties that host national forests, parks, and other federal property receive annual payments to offset lost tax revenue, and this legislation would modify those payments to better account for the needs of smaller counties. The changes would affect rural county budgets and services in areas with significant federal land ownership.

Taiwan Relations Reinforcement Act

The bill would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a yearly report to Congress evaluating whether the U.S. military and government have the resources and capability to support Taiwan according to existing law, which commits America to helping Taiwan defend itself. The report would help lawmakers understand what the country might need to do to keep that commitment, affecting military planning and defense spending decisions.

Rabbi Michoel Ber Weissmandl Congressional Gold Medal Act of 2026

This bill would award the Congressional Gold Medal, one of the highest civilian honors, to Rabbi Michoel Ber Weissmandl in recognition of his historical contributions and legacy.

ICU Bed Act of 2026

Without specific subjects listed, this bill likely addresses the availability and management of intensive care unit beds in hospitals, possibly by establishing standards for ICU capacity, funding mechanisms, or requirements for hospitals to maintain adequate critical care resources. The bill has been sent to two committees—one focused on healthcare regulation and another on budget and tax matters—suggesting it may involve both operational changes to how hospitals manage ICUs and financial provisions to support these efforts. This would affect hospitals, patients needing critical care, and potentially insurance companies or government healthcare programs that pay for ICU services.

To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to designate copper as an applicable critical mineral and to include ore extraction costs for purposes of the advanced manufacturing production credit.

This bill would make copper eligible for tax credits that help manufacturers produce advanced materials domestically, and would allow companies to count the costs of extracting copper ore when calculating those tax benefits. The changes would apply to copper mining and manufacturing operations, potentially making it cheaper for U.S. companies to process copper into finished products. The goal is likely to boost domestic copper production and reduce reliance on foreign sources of this metal, which is used in electronics, renewable energy equipment, and other industries.

Guard Equal Benefits for Federal Missions Act

This bill would require the federal government to provide equal benefits to military members and federal employees regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. The legislation aims to ensure that same-sex spouses and transgender service members receive the same health insurance, retirement, and other benefits as heterosexual married couples and cisgender employees. The change would affect hundreds of thousands of active-duty military personnel, veterans, and federal workers and their families.

Public Health and Bio-Preparedness Workforce Loan Repayment Reauthorization Act of 2026

This bill would extend a program that helps repay student loans for people who work in public health and disease prevention jobs, aiming to attract more workers to these critical fields. The loan repayment assistance would apply to employees in areas like epidemiology, infectious disease control, and emergency preparedness who might otherwise leave these lower-paying government positions for higher-paying private sector jobs. By making these careers more financially attractive, the bill seeks to strengthen America's ability to respond to health emergencies and disease outbreaks.

Empowering Shareholders Act of 2026

Without specific subjects listed, this bill likely aims to give shareholders (people who own stock in companies) more power in corporate decision-making, possibly through changes to voting rules, disclosure requirements, or how companies are governed. The exact impact on workers, investors, and companies would depend on which shareholder rights the bill strengthens, but it generally seeks to shift more control toward individual and institutional investors rather than corporate management.

The bill affects water agencies, state officials, and communities that depend on federal water projects for drinking water, irrigation, or flood control.

Quindaro Townsite National Historic Landmark Act

This bill would designate the Quindaro Townsite in Kansas as a National Historic Landmark, officially recognizing its historical significance and protecting it from development.

To expand the definition of institution of higher education in the Higher Education Act of 1965 with respect to certain graduate medical schools located outside of the United States.

The change would primarily affect international medical students and the foreign institutions that train them, as well as the federal student loan programs that fund education. The bill is currently under review by the House Committee on Education and Workforce.

Nuclear Energy Innovation and Deployment Act of 2026

This bill would likely support the development and use of nuclear power as an energy source by funding research, streamlining the approval process for new nuclear plants, and encouraging private companies to build and operate nuclear reactors. It would affect energy companies, utility providers, and communities considering nuclear facilities, with the goal of making nuclear energy a larger part of America's electricity supply.

Educational Equity Challenge Grant Act of 2026

This bill would likely create a federal grant program that provides funding to schools and districts working to reduce educational disparities and improve outcomes for disadvantaged students.

Schools and districts serving students from lower-income backgrounds would be the primary beneficiaries of this funding.

Gasoline Export Ban Act of 2026

Gasoline Export Ban Act of 2026 This bill prohibits the exportation of gasoline produced in the United States during certain periods of high gasoline prices. Specifically, the bill directs the President to prohibit the exportation of gasoline produced in the United States during periods when the average price for gasoline in the United States has been equal to or higher than $3.12 per gallon for each of the preceding seven days.

Preparing Superfund for Climate Change Act of 2026

This bill would require the federal government to update how it manages and cleans up heavily polluted sites (known as Superfund sites) to account for climate change impacts like flooding, extreme weather, and rising sea levels. The changes would help ensure that cleanup efforts and long-term protections at these contaminated locations remain effective as climate conditions shift, protecting nearby communities and workers from exposure to hazardous materials during environmental disasters.

BITMAP Authorization Act

The bill would create a new program within the Department of Homeland Security to use biometric data (like fingerprints and facial recognition) to track and identify people crossing U.S. borders, particularly those moving between countries. This system would help authorities flag individuals of concern and share information across border agencies to improve security screening. The program would affect travelers, immigrants, and border security personnel who would interact with these identification systems.

The changes could help integrate more solar and wind power into the system while reducing blackouts and power outages.

Gas Tax Reduction Act

This bill would likely reduce the federal tax on gasoline that drivers pay at the pump, which currently funds road and bridge construction and maintenance.
