June 2026

Mental Health Parity Enforcement and Funding Act

Insurance companies and health plans that fail to treat mental health coverage the same as physical health coverage would face financial penalties from the federal government.

To amend title 10, United States Code, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022, and the Military Construction Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 to repeal certain reporting requirements related to unfunded priorities, and for other purposes.

The military would no longer have to submit certain reports to Congress about unfunded priorities—essentially projects and needs that the Defense Department wants to fund but hasn't received money for yet.

The government would test artificial intelligence technology at Arizona border checkpoints to automatically detect unusual patterns or suspicious items in vehicles and cargo. This pilot program would help U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers identify potential threats more quickly and efficiently at land border crossings. The test would determine whether this technology could improve security screening without slowing down legitimate travel and trade.

NOPE Act of 2026

The proposal would give Congress more power to review and potentially block sanctions decisions made by the President against Russia, requiring additional congressional approval before certain sanctions actions can take effect. This would shift some control over Russia-related sanctions from the executive branch to lawmakers, affecting how the U.S. government responds to Russian actions through economic penalties. The change would impact businesses that trade with Russia, government officials who implement sanctions, and foreign policy decisions regarding U.S.-Russia relations.

Encouraging the celebration of the month of June as LGBTQIA+ Pride Month.

The proposal would officially recognize June as LGBTQIA+ Pride Month at the federal level, encouraging celebrations and observances of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual communities throughout the country.

The measure has been sent to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for consideration.

No Profiting from Public Service Act

The proposal would prevent federal officials and their immediate family members from buying and selling certain stocks and financial investments while they hold office, aiming to reduce conflicts of interest where officials might make decisions that benefit their personal investments. The restrictions would apply to federal employees in sensitive positions and their spouses and dependents, requiring them to divest from or avoid trading in securities that could create ethical problems. This would help ensure that government decisions are made based on what's best for the public rather than what might make officials or their families wealthier.

Condemning the People's Republic of China's Law on the Promotion of Ethnic Unity and Progress and the Chinese Communist Party's campaign of forced assimilation against ethnic and religious minorities.

Congress is expressing strong disapproval of China's policies toward ethnic and religious minorities, particularly a Chinese law that critics say forces assimilation rather than respecting cultural differences. The resolution condemns what supporters view as human rights violations against groups like Uyghurs and other minorities in China. The measure has been sent to two congressional committees for review but does not create new laws or impose direct consequences on China.

Strategic Unmanned Systems Partnership Act

The U.S. and Ukraine would create a joint working group to collaborate on military technology and defense innovation, allowing the two countries to share expertise and develop new weapons systems and defense strategies together. This partnership would strengthen Ukraine's military capabilities while potentially giving American defense companies and researchers opportunities to work with Ukrainian counterparts on advanced technologies. The arrangement would formalize ongoing defense cooperation between the nations, particularly important given Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Veterans and Servicemembers PTSD Emerging Treatment Review Act of 2026

The Department of Defense would be required to study and report to Congress on new experimental treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that don't respond to standard therapies, focusing on what's available for veterans, active-duty military members, and those leaving the military. This report would help lawmakers understand what cutting-edge treatment options exist and how accessible they are to service members struggling with severe PTSD. The goal is to identify promising new approaches that could help veterans who haven't found relief through conventional treatment methods.

Shandra Eisenga TB Study Act of 2026

The federal government would study whether it's possible to create a reliable test that can detect tuberculosis in dead bodies during autopsies or medical examinations. This research would help medical examiners and pathologists better identify tuberculosis as a cause of death, which could improve public health tracking and understanding of the disease. The study would be conducted by the Department of Health and Human Services.

Home Mortgage Interest Credit Act of 2026

This proposal would let homeowners reduce their federal income taxes based on the mortgage interest they pay on their primary residence each year.

The measure is currently under review by the House Committee on Ways and Means.

Ounce of Prevention Act

This proposal would let certain cities and counties use federal Community Development Block Grant money to prepare for and prevent damage from natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes, rather than only using it for housing and community development projects. The change would help local governments strengthen buildings, improve drainage systems, and take other protective measures before disasters strike, potentially reducing the need for emergency aid after disasters happen. Communities that receive these federal grants would have more flexibility in deciding how to spend the money based on their specific disaster risks.

Recognizing the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, honoring the memory of the victims, recognizing the courage and sacrifice of the heroes who answered the call to serve, acknowledging the charitable organizations that continue to support survivors and victims' families, and reaffirming the enduring commitment of the United States to defend freedom and never forget.

The changes could affect millions of older Americans enrolled in these private insurance alternatives to traditional Medicare, as well as the insurance companies that provide them.

Expressing the sense of Congress that Medicaid is an important lifeline for the health care of millions of Americans.

Congress would formally state its view that Medicaid plays a vital role in providing health coverage to millions of Americans who might otherwise lack access to medical care.

The statement emphasizes the program's importance as a safety net for low-income individuals, families, seniors, and people with disabilities.

Senior Accessible Housing Tax Credit Act of 2026

The proposal would let homeowners and builders claim a tax credit—a direct reduction in taxes owed—for expenses related to making homes accessible to people with disabilities, such as installing ramps, widening doorways, or adding accessible bathrooms. This would make it financially easier for families to modify existing homes or construct new ones that accommodate people with mobility challenges or other disabilities. The tax break would apply to both individual homeowners making their own homes more accessible and developers building accessible housing.

No Cashing In Act

Former members of Congress would be required to file yearly financial disclosure reports showing their income, assets, and potential conflicts of interest, similar to requirements that currently apply to sitting members. This would increase transparency about what former lawmakers earn after leaving office and help the public track whether they benefit financially from their time in Congress. The requirement would apply to all former members and would be enforced by the House and Senate ethics committees.

Online Accessibility Act

This bill would require private companies to make their websites and mobile apps accessible to people with disabilities, such as by providing text descriptions for images or keyboard navigation options.

The requirement would apply to most consumer-facing websites and apps, affecting retailers, banks, social media platforms, and other businesses that serve the public online.

HUSTLE Act

The proposal would allow student-athletes to set up special tax-advantaged savings accounts for money they earn from using their name, image, or likeness in endorsements and sponsorships. Similar to how people can save for retirement or education with tax breaks, student-athletes could put earnings from these deals into these accounts and potentially reduce their tax burden. This would affect college and university athletes who are now permitted to profit from their personal brand.

Making Condos Safer and Affordable Act of 2026

The proposal would allow the Federal Housing Administration to insure mortgages that help condo building owners pay for repairs and improvements to their properties. This would make it easier and cheaper for condo associations to borrow money for necessary maintenance work like fixing roofs, updating electrical systems, or improving common areas. Condo residents and building owners would benefit from having more affordable financing options for keeping their buildings in good condition.

Military Housing Innovation Act

The federal government would be required to study how "point-access block design" — a construction method that limits entry and exit points to military buildings — could be used in future military construction projects. This research would help the Department of Defense understand whether this design approach could improve security, reduce costs, or offer other benefits for military facilities. The study would be conducted by the Comptroller General, the government's chief auditor, and results would be reported back to Congress.

Child Care Small Business Insight and Improvement Act of 2026

The Small Business Administration would be required to study and report to Congress on for-profit child care businesses, examining their operations, challenges, and role in the child care market.

The report would affect child care providers, parents seeking child care services, and policymakers considering child care policy.

Cloud Security Act

The legislation would create exceptions to requirements that people and organizations notify the U.S. Government when dealing with certain foreign entities, allowing them to conduct business with these groups without triggering mandatory reporting rules in specific circumstances.

The bill is currently under review by the House Judiciary Committee.

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the current design concept for the National Global War on Terrorism Memorial fails to adequately honor the profound sacrifice of members of the United States Armed Forces, and demanding a redesigned monument that clearly and unmistakably honors the valor, combat reality, and distinct sacrifice of post-9/11 veterans.

The House is expressing its view that the current design for a planned National Global War on Terrorism Memorial doesn't properly honor the sacrifices of military members who served after 9/11, and is calling for the memorial to be redesigned to better reflect the valor and experiences of post-9/11 veterans. This resolution doesn't create or fund the memorial itself, but rather states the House's position that the existing design concept should be changed to more clearly and unmistakably recognize the distinct sacrifices of those who served in the wars following the September 11 attacks.

IBOGAINE Act

The proposal would speed up the research, development, and approval process for psychedelic drugs—such as psilocybin and MDMA—that researchers believe could treat serious mental health conditions like depression, PTSD, and anxiety. It aims to make these experimental treatments available to patients faster while potentially helping address the mental health crisis affecting millions of Americans. The bill has been sent to three House committees for review.

FIREWALL Act

The legislation would prevent federal funding from going to individuals and companies that buy fiber-optic cables from countries considered security risks, such as China. This would affect telecommunications companies, internet service providers, and other businesses that receive federal grants or contracts if they use cables from these restricted countries. The goal is to reduce dependence on foreign sources for critical communications infrastructure.

FEES Act of 2026

The proposal would change federal rules about who pays lawyer fees in certain legal cases involving the government. It would likely affect federal employees, contractors, and others who sue federal agencies by potentially shifting how attorney costs are handled in these disputes. The specific changes would apply to cases under federal employment and administrative law.

To amend the Act of July 5, 1884, to permit the imposition of taxes on vessels operating as tourist accommodations, and for other purposes.

The proposal would allow states and local governments to collect taxes on boats and ships that operate as tourist accommodations, such as cruise ships or floating hotels. Currently, an old 1884 law prevents these taxes from being imposed on vessels, so this change would give communities the ability to generate tax revenue from the tourism industry that uses their waters. This would affect cruise ship companies, boat tour operators, and local governments that depend on tourism revenue.

Boat Loan Interest Deduction Act of 2026

The proposal would let people deduct the interest they pay on loans used to buy certain boats, similar to how homeowners can deduct mortgage interest. This would reduce the taxable income of boat owners who take out loans for their purchases, effectively lowering their taxes. The change would primarily benefit individuals and businesses that finance watercraft purchases.

Protecting Health Care and Lowering Costs Act of 2026

Protecting Health Care and Lowering Costs Act of 2026 This bill repeals the Medicaid provisions that were enacted under what is commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Among other provisions, the act (1) requires individuals who are eligible for Medicaid as part of the Medicaid expansion population to engage in community service, work, or other activities in order to qualify for Medicaid; (2) generally restricts, beginning in FY2027, federal payment for Medicaid and CHIP to services for individuals who are U.S. residents and are either U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, Cuban-Haitian entrants, or Compact of Free Association migrants lawfully residing in the United States; and (3) generally limits Medicaid provider taxes beginning in FY2027. For more information about these and other Medicaid provisions in the act, see CRS Report R48633 .

Anchors Away Act

The proposal would change citizenship rules so that only children born in the U.S. to at least one citizen or permanent resident parent would automatically become U.S. citizens at birth, eliminating automatic citizenship for children born to non-citizen parents. It would also prevent pregnant women who are not married to U.S. citizens from entering the country on temporary visas. These changes would affect immigrants, their children, and the citizenship status of future generations born in America.

Residential Recovery for Seniors Act

Medicare would start covering residential treatment programs for people struggling with substance use disorders, allowing seniors and disabled beneficiaries to get help at facilities where they live while receiving care rather than only covering outpatient services. This change would help older adults and people with disabilities access more intensive addiction treatment options that are currently not covered by Medicare. The expansion could reduce costs for patients needing round-the-clock support to recover from alcohol or drug addiction.

VHA OPEN Policies Act of 2026

The Department of Veterans Affairs would be required to publish all of its national health policies online so that veterans, their families, and the public can easily access and review them. Currently, many of these policies exist but aren't readily available to the public, making it difficult for veterans to understand what rules and procedures guide their healthcare. This change would increase transparency and help veterans know what to expect when they use VA health services.

Kidney Disease Education Access Expansion Act of 2026

The proposal would require Medicare and private health insurance plans to cover educational services that help people with kidney disease understand their condition and manage their treatment options. This would ensure that patients dealing with kidney problems have access to counseling and training programs without having to pay out of pocket, potentially helping them make better health decisions and slow disease progression. The change would affect both seniors on Medicare and people with private insurance coverage.

Support for the designation of the week of June 29 through July 4, 2026, as "National Tire Safety Week" in the United States, and supporting the goals and ideals of National Tire Safety Week to educate American motorists about the importance of proper tire care and maintenance.

This resolution supports the designation of National Tire Safety Week. The resolution also encourages people to educate themselves and others on the importance of regularly inspecting and maintaining a vehicle's tires.

Federal Bureau of Prisons Medical Care Act of 2026

The proposal would restrict prisons from charging inmates fees for medical care and treatment. Currently, some correctional facilities charge prisoners for doctor visits, medications, and other health services, which this bill would limit or eliminate. The change would affect incarcerated people who need medical attention while in prison.

People Over Poison Act

The proposal would restrict the use of certain pesticides and chemicals in agriculture that are considered harmful to human health and the environment. Farmers and agricultural companies would need to comply with stricter regulations on which products they can apply to crops, while consumers and farmworkers would potentially face reduced exposure to these substances through food and workplace contact. The bill has been sent to the House Agriculture Committee for review and debate.

No Medicare Clawbacks Act of 2026

The proposal would prevent health insurance companies from taking back payments they made to doctors and hospitals in certain situations, protecting healthcare providers from unexpected financial penalties. This affects Medicare (the federal health insurance program for seniors and some disabled people) and the group health plans that many workers get through their employers. The bill aims to stop insurers from clawing back money after they've already paid medical claims, which can create financial hardship for healthcare providers.

To combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing at its sources globally.

The bill aims to reduce illegal fishing operations worldwide by strengthening enforcement, improving tracking of fish products, and increasing cooperation between the U.S. and other countries to crack down on fishing vessels that operate without proper permits or reporting. It would affect fishing companies, seafood importers, and consumers by making it harder for illegally caught fish to enter the market and potentially raising prices on seafood. The legislation also seeks to protect marine ecosystems and support legitimate fishing communities that follow the rules.

War Hazards Compensation Reform Act

The federal government would be required to pay interest when it reimburses workers late for compensation claims under two programs that cover people injured during wartime or while working in ports and harbors. This change would ensure that workers and their families don't lose money due to government payment delays, making the reimbursement process fairer for injured workers waiting for their benefits.

Veterans Health Administration Personnel Transparency and Accountability Act

The bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to publicly share detailed information about staffing levels and job openings across its health care system, making it easier for veterans and the public to see which medical positions are filled and which are vacant. This transparency measure aims to help veterans understand potential wait times and service availability at VA hospitals and clinics, while also allowing Congress and oversight groups to better monitor the VA's ability to hire and retain medical staff.

Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 7016) to prohibit action to or the use of Federal funds to invade NATO countries and territories, and for other purposes.

This resolution provides for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 7016) to prohibit action to or the use of Federal funds to invade NATO countries and territories, and for other purposes.

Pacific Islands Liaison Initiative Act

The federal government would create a new Pacific Islands Liaison Initiative within Homeland Security Investigations to strengthen relationships with Pacific island nations and help combat international criminal organizations operating in that region. This program would assign officials to work directly with Pacific island governments to coordinate efforts against smuggling, trafficking, and other transnational crimes. The initiative aims to improve the U.S. government's ability to address security threats in the Pacific while supporting these island nations' law enforcement capabilities.

Social Security 2100 Act

The proposal aims to strengthen Social Security by adjusting how the program operates to ensure it can continue paying benefits to current retirees and future generations. It would likely involve changes to how Social Security is funded or how benefits are calculated, affecting millions of Americans who rely on retirement checks and workers who contribute to the system through payroll taxes. The bill is currently being reviewed by multiple congressional committees to determine what specific changes it would make.

Veterans Care and Cost Coordination Act of 2026

The proposal would require the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Health and Human Services to work together and create an agreement to coordinate how they manage veterans' community care services and certain Medicare health plans. This coordination could help reduce confusion and improve care for veterans who use both VA services and Medicare benefits. The bill is currently being reviewed by three congressional committees to determine whether it's a good idea.

Protect Seniors and Veterans from Health Care Fraud Act of 2026

This legislation would strengthen protections against fraud and abuse in healthcare programs serving seniors and veterans, likely by increasing penalties for fraudsters, improving detection systems, and giving authorities better tools to investigate suspicious billing and medical claims. The bill would affect Medicare and Veterans Affairs beneficiaries who could face fewer fraudulent charges, as well as healthcare providers and insurers who would face stricter oversight. By cracking down on waste and fraud, the measure aims to preserve healthcare resources for legitimate patient care.

Doug LaMalfa Sacramento River Basin Water Security and Reliability Act of 2026

This bill would extend federal funding and support for water storage projects in California's Sacramento River Basin, allowing the state to keep money from temporary water transfers during droughts to pay for maintenance and safety improvements at dams. It would also establish a federal leadership committee to coordinate water management efforts in the region and authorize the federal government to help pay for operating and maintaining state-led water storage projects that provide public benefits like flood control and environmental restoration. The legislation aims to improve water reliability and environmental conditions in the Sacramento River Basin during times of drought.

STRONG Act

The government would be asked to review and potentially create a new job classification code specifically for strength and conditioning coaches, separate from other coaching categories. This change would help the government better track and understand this profession's employment data, which could affect how these coaches are counted in labor statistics and potentially influence training programs and job market analysis. The proposal is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Education and Workforce.

Community Schools and Health Equity Act

The federal government would provide grants to schools to set up health services on campus, such as clinics offering medical care, mental health counseling, and other wellness services to students and their families. This program aims to make healthcare more accessible to students by bringing services directly into schools, particularly in communities where families have difficulty reaching doctors or clinics. Schools and community organizations would compete for these grants to establish or expand these integrated health programs.

Water Resources Development Act of 2026

The legislation would fund improvements to rivers, harbors, and waterways across the country, including maintenance of shipping channels, flood control projects, and water resource development. These investments would benefit shipping companies, coastal communities, farmers who rely on water systems, and regions prone to flooding by improving infrastructure that supports commerce and protects against water-related disasters. The bill has been sent to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure for review.

Quiet Skies Act

The federal government would be required to create rules banning passengers from making voice calls on their cell phones during flights on commercial airlines. This would apply to all scheduled passenger flights traveling between states or within a single state, protecting both travelers and flight crews from disruptive phone conversations at high altitudes. The Transportation Department would be responsible for developing and enforcing these regulations.

Wildfire Response Modernization Act

The Air Force would be required to buy satellite imagery and data from private companies to help the Department of Defense with its operations and to support wildfire detection and response efforts run by U.S. Northern Command. This would allow the military and emergency responders to use commercial satellite technology to better monitor and fight wildfires across the country. The change affects defense contractors who provide satellite data services and government agencies involved in national security and disaster response.

Expressing support for the designation of June 28, 2026, as "Community is Stronger than Cancer Day".

The measure has been sent to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for consideration.

Bonnie Eloise Rush Milam Congressional Gold Medal Act of 2026

The Congressional Gold Medal is one of the highest civilian honors Congress can bestow, typically given to individuals who have made extraordinary impacts in their fields or service to the nation. The medal would be presented to honor her legacy and accomplishments.

Homeownership Eligibility Reform Act

This bill would limit who can get mortgages backed by federal programs like FHA insurance, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac by requiring borrowers to be U.S. citizens. Currently, some non-citizens with legal status can qualify for these government-supported mortgages, but this change would restrict that access to citizens only. The bill would affect both individual homebuyers seeking mortgages and the mortgage companies that sell loans to these federal agencies.

Tax Relief for Fraud Victims Act

This legislation would allow people who have been victims of fraud to deduct their losses from their taxes, reducing the amount of income they owe taxes on. The bill would help individuals recover some of their financial losses by treating fraud-related expenses similarly to other deductible losses. This would primarily benefit fraud victims who have suffered significant financial harm and need tax relief to help them recover.

AI Tax Integrity Act of 2026

AI Tax Integrity Act of 2026 This bill requires the Internal Revenue Service to establish a pilot program to use artificial intelligence to identify inaccurate federal tax returns.

End Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act

Americans who are held hostage abroad and forced to work or conduct business while captive would be exempted from paying federal income taxes on any money they earn during their captivity. The measure would allow these hostages to file amended tax returns to recover any taxes they already paid on income earned while being held. This would primarily benefit U.S. citizens and their families who have experienced hostage situations overseas.

To codify Executive Order 14412, entitled "Securing the Nation Against Advanced Cryptographic Attacks".

The federal government would establish new rules to protect computer systems and sensitive data from advanced encryption-breaking attacks that could emerge in the future. This would require federal agencies and potentially contractors working with the government to upgrade their cybersecurity defenses and transition away from encryption methods that might become vulnerable to new technology. The measure affects government agencies, defense contractors, and companies that handle classified or sensitive federal information.

Preventing Stomach Cancer in Our Nation’s Heroes Act

The Department of Defense would be required to study and report on whether members of the military should be tested for helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that can cause stomach ulcers and other digestive problems. This would help determine if widespread testing and treatment of this infection should become standard practice for service members. The report would inform military leadership about the health impacts and potential benefits of screening for this condition across the Armed Forces.

Broadband Infrastructure Extension Act

The legislation would extend the deadline for spending federal funds that were allocated for broadband infrastructure projects, allowing states and communities more time to use the money for expanding internet access. This affects local governments and broadband providers who received grants or funding to build or improve internet networks in underserved areas. By pushing back the spending deadline, the bill gives these organizations additional time to complete their projects before the funds expire.

NO PROFIT Act

The proposal would require sitting U.S. Presidents to pay federal income tax on the increase in value of their investments and assets each year, rather than only when those assets are sold. This would affect Presidents' personal finances by requiring annual tax payments on unrealized gains from stocks, real estate, and other property holdings. The change would be handled through the tax code and reviewed by the House Committee on Ways and Means.

National Patriot Day Remembrance Flag Act

The proposal would officially recognize the Freedom Flag as the national symbol for remembering the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. This designation would give the flag special status as a permanent memorial symbol for the nation to use when honoring those who were lost and affected by that day.

Health Savings for Families Act of 2026

Currently, married couples cannot contribute to a health savings account if either spouse has a health flexible spending account, even if they have separate coverage. This bill would change that rule to allow one spouse to contribute to a health savings account while the other spouse uses a flexible spending account. The change would give families more flexibility in how they save money for medical expenses.

Protecting Europe from Islamophobia Act

The State Department would be required to work with Congress to monitor and report on anti-Muslim discrimination and violence in European countries. This would help lawmakers understand the scope of Islamophobia abroad and potentially inform U.S. foreign policy decisions regarding human rights concerns in Europe. The measure affects how the federal government tracks and addresses religious intolerance in its diplomatic efforts.

NFIP Premium Transparency Act

FEMA would be required to create an online tool that helps homeowners and property owners understand their flood risk and find appropriate flood insurance coverage. The tool would make it easier for people to determine whether they need flood insurance, compare available options, and understand the costs involved. This would particularly benefit residents in flood-prone areas who struggle to navigate the complex flood insurance market on their own.

Protecting Taxpayers from Ghost Preparers Act

The bill would require tax preparers to sign their work and register with the IRS, making them accountable for the tax returns they file on behalf of clients. This would help prevent fraud and errors by ensuring taxpayers know who prepared their returns and can hold preparers responsible if something goes wrong. The measure aims to protect both individual taxpayers and the government from losses caused by unqualified or dishonest tax preparers.

MFA Act

The proposal would require healthcare.gov, the federal website where people shop for health insurance, to use multi-factor authentication—an extra security step like a text message code in addition to a password—when users access their personal health information. This change would make it harder for hackers or unauthorized people to access sensitive details like Social Security numbers, medical records, and insurance information. The requirement would affect millions of Americans who use the website to enroll in coverage or manage their health insurance plans.

Condemning prosecution policies that give preferential treatment to foreign nationals over United States citizens.

The resolution expresses disapproval of prosecution policies that the sponsors believe unfairly favor foreign nationals compared to U.S. citizens in the criminal justice system. It addresses concerns about how federal prosecutors handle cases involving both groups and calls for equal treatment under the law. The measure has been sent to the House Judiciary Committee for consideration.

Expressing support for the designation of the month of June 2026 as "National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Month" and June 27, 2026, as "National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Day".

This resolution supports the designation of National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Month and National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Day. The resolution supports (1) the education of members of the Armed Forces, veterans, their families, and the public about post-traumatic stress; and (2) efforts by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense to foster cultural change around the issue of post-traumatic stress. The resolution also encourages the leadership of the Armed Forces to support treatment of members of the Armed Forces who suffer from post-traumatic stress.

TPS Relief Act

The proposal would allow people whose Temporary Protected Status claims have been denied to challenge those decisions in court, rather than having the government's decision be final. Currently, TPS applicants have limited ability to appeal denials through the judicial system, so this change would give immigrants seeking this temporary protection status a legal avenue to contest rejections they believe are unfair or made in error.

To amend the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act of 2020 to require the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy to establish a prize competition program relating to artificial intelligence, and for other purposes.

The federal government would create a competition program offering prizes to encourage innovation in artificial intelligence research and development. This would be run by the White House's top science advisor and could help attract talented researchers and companies to work on AI projects that benefit the public. The program aims to speed up progress in AI technology by rewarding breakthrough achievements.

Officer Leslie Coffelt U.S. Secret Service Police Act of 2026

The legislation would rename the United States Secret Service Uniformed Division to the United States Secret Service Police. This change affects the federal law enforcement officers who protect the President, Vice President, and other government buildings and officials. The name change is intended to better reflect the police duties and responsibilities of these officers.

To amend the Arms Export Control Act to modify a limitation relating to export and transfers of defense articles and services under the AUKUS partnership, and for other purposes.

The proposal would change rules that currently limit how the U.S. can share military equipment and technology with Australia and the United Kingdom as part of their defense partnership known as AUKUS. By relaxing these restrictions, the U.S. would be able to more easily transfer advanced defense articles and services to these allied countries without going through some of the normal approval processes. This affects defense contractors, military officials, and the three allied nations involved in coordinating their defense capabilities.

Taxpayer Advocate Participation Act

The proposal would give the National Taxpayer Advocate—an independent official within the IRS who helps taxpayers resolve disputes—a stronger voice in how the IRS operates by requiring the agency to consider the Advocate's recommendations and report back to Congress on whether they've been implemented. This change would affect millions of taxpayers who struggle with IRS issues, as well as IRS operations, by potentially making the agency more responsive to complaints about unfair treatment or overly complicated rules. The bill aims to ensure that taxpayer concerns are taken seriously at the highest levels of the IRS rather than being ignored or overlooked.

Tax Exempt Hospital Transparency Act

Hospitals that don't pay taxes would have to publicly disclose more information about their finances, charity care, and executive compensation to show they're serving their communities. The requirement would help patients and taxpayers understand how these tax-exempt hospitals spend their money and whether they're actually providing enough free or reduced-cost care to justify their tax-exempt status. This affects large nonprofit hospital systems and the communities they serve, as well as state and local governments that lose tax revenue from these institutions.

Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2027

Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2027 This bill provides FY2027 appropriations to the Department of Defense (DOD) for military activities. (The bill excludes military construction, military family housing, civil works projects of the Army Corps of Engineers, and nuclear warheads, which are all included in other appropriations bills.) Within the DOD budget, the bill provides appropriations for Military Personnel; Operation and Maintenance; Procurement; Research, Development, Test and Evaluation; and Revolving and Management Funds. The bill provides appropriations for other DOD programs, including the Combat and Operational Medicine Program, the Private Sector Care Program, Chemical Agents and Munitions Destruction, Drug Interdiction and Counter-Drug Activities, and the Office of the Inspector General. In addition, the bill provides appropriations for related agencies, including (1) the Central Intelligence Agency Retirement and Disability System Fund, and (2) the Intelligence Community Management Account. The bill also sets forth requirements and restrictions for using funds provided by this and other appropriations acts.

Clean Ports for Commerce Act

The Army Corps of Engineers would be required to plan ahead before dredging waterways that contain PFAS (a group of toxic chemicals found in many industrial products and firefighting foams) to prevent spreading this contamination to other areas. This affects communities near rivers, harbors, and other waterways where dredging happens, as well as the Corps and companies involved in dredging operations. The goal is to protect public health and water quality by ensuring the Corps thinks through how to handle PFAS-contaminated sediment before removing it from the water.

Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor Congressional Gold Medal Act

The government would award a Congressional Gold Medal to all American military members and their allies who were captured by Japan during World War II in the Pacific between December 1941 and August 1945, honoring their service and sacrifice as prisoners of war. This medal is one of the highest civilian honors Congress can give and recognizes the courage and suffering of these veterans. The proposal is currently being reviewed by congressional committees to determine how to proceed.

Wage Theft Prevention and Wage Recovery Act

The legislation would strengthen protections against wage theft by giving the Department of Labor new tools to recover unpaid wages for workers and authority to award grants to organizations that help prevent wage violations. It would also update decades-old labor laws to make it easier for employees to pursue claims when employers fail to pay them properly or don't compensate them for all hours worked. The changes would primarily affect low-wage workers and small businesses, with the goal of reducing instances where employers illegally withhold or underpay employee wages.

SAFE Banking Act of 2026

Banks and other financial companies would be protected from federal penalties if they provide banking services to legal marijuana businesses in states where cannabis is allowed. Currently, many banks avoid working with marijuana companies because federal law still classifies marijuana as illegal, creating a risky situation where legal state businesses struggle to access banking services. This bill would remove that barrier so that banks can safely serve the marijuana industry without fear of federal prosecution.

National Fab Lab Network Act of 2026

The proposal would create a national network of local digital fabrication facilities (called "fab labs") that give people free or low-cost access to advanced manufacturing equipment like 3D printers and laser cutters for learning, inventing, and starting businesses. These facilities would support workforce training, science education, and help people develop new products and ideas in their communities. The bill is currently being reviewed by congressional committees to determine whether it should move forward.

Supporting Older Foster Youth Act

The bill would update the federal foster care program to better support teenagers and young adults who have been in the foster care system, helping them transition to independent living as they age out of the system. The changes would likely improve services like housing assistance, education support, and job training for youth in foster care, with the goal of reducing homelessness and improving outcomes for this vulnerable population. The proposal is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Ways and Means.

Remigration Act

This bill would create new reasons for the government to take away someone's citizenship and would require a review of past decisions to grant asylum and refugee status to certain people. It would also require that people who lose their citizenship be sent back to their home countries, potentially along with their children. The changes would affect immigrants, naturalized citizens, and people seeking refuge in the United States.

Sustainable Homeownership Act

This bill would change rules about what types of mortgages Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the government-backed companies that buy and sell home loans) are allowed to own and manage. The changes would affect how these companies operate and could impact homebuyers and the mortgage market by shifting which loans these organizations can purchase from banks and lenders.

SAFER Health Act of 2026

The proposal would strengthen privacy protections for medical records related to pregnancy termination or miscarriage under existing federal health privacy laws, preventing health insurers and providers from sharing this sensitive information without explicit patient consent. It would apply to doctors, hospitals, insurance companies, and other healthcare organizations that handle patient data. The goal is to protect patients from having their pregnancy loss or abortion information disclosed to law enforcement, employers, or other third parties.

Haitian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act of 2026

The legislation would allow certain Haitian nationals currently in the United States to adjust their immigration status and become permanent residents or citizens without having to return to Haiti first. This would primarily affect Haitian immigrants who may have entered the country without proper documentation or whose visas have expired, giving them a pathway to legal residency. The bill has been sent to the House Judiciary Committee for review and consideration.

SNAP Citizenship and Residency Act of 2026

The proposal would limit food assistance benefits to immigrants who have been approved as permanent residents and have lived legally in the United States for at least 10 years, making it harder for newer immigrants and other non-citizens to qualify for the federal food aid program. Currently, some immigrants with different legal statuses can receive these benefits, but this change would narrow who is eligible. The change would affect millions of immigrants and their families who rely on food assistance to put meals on the table.

Green Ribbon Act of 2026

The Green Ribbon Schools Program would be expanded to help more schools across the country focus on environmental education and environmental health practices. The bill would give states more resources and support to increase the number of schools participating in the program and encourage more schools to apply for recognition. This would affect schools, students, and educators who want to integrate environmental learning and sustainable practices into their classrooms and school operations.

Local Foods for Healthy Schools Act of 2026

The proposal would require the U.S. Department of Agriculture to create a program that helps schools buy food from local farms and producers. This program would aim to improve school meals for students while supporting farmers in their communities by creating a direct market for their products.

AI Incident Reporting Act

Companies that develop advanced artificial intelligence systems would be required to report detailed information about their models to the Commerce Department, including data about how the systems work and potential risks they might pose. These reporting requirements would help the federal government monitor and understand the capabilities of powerful AI systems before they're widely released to the public. The rule would primarily affect large technology companies and AI developers working on cutting-edge systems.

Health and Location Data Protection Act of 2026

Companies that buy and sell personal information would be banned from trading sensitive data like social security numbers, financial information, and health records without explicit permission from the people involved. This would limit how data brokers—businesses that collect and resell personal information—can profit from Americans' private details. The restrictions would primarily affect data brokers and companies that rely on purchasing this information, while giving individuals more control over their most sensitive personal data.

To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow a deduction for amounts contributed to home savings accounts, and for other purposes.

The proposal would let people deduct money they put into special savings accounts designated for home purchases from their taxable income, similar to how some retirement savings work. This would reduce the taxes owed by homebuyers who use these accounts, potentially making it easier for people to save money for down payments and home-related expenses. The change would primarily benefit individuals and families saving to buy or improve their homes.

To direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to coordinate with the Secretary of Health and Human Services in administering the Veterans Community Care Program, and for other purposes.

The Department of Veterans Affairs would work more closely with the Department of Health and Human Services to run the Veterans Community Care Program, which helps veterans access medical treatment outside the VA system. This coordination could improve how veterans receive care from private doctors and hospitals while potentially reducing costs and wait times. The bill affects veterans seeking healthcare services and the federal agencies responsible for managing their benefits.

Investor Choice Act of 2026

The proposal would ban companies from forcing customers and employees to sign agreements that require them to settle disputes through private arbitration instead of going to court. This change would affect investors, workers, and consumers who currently have limited options when they disagree with financial firms, employers, or other businesses over issues like fraud, wage theft, or unfair treatment. The measure aims to give people the right to pursue lawsuits in the public court system rather than being locked into private arbitration processes.

Water Reservoir Transparency Act

The Army would be required to study how new businesses and industries that use water affect the water levels that the Corps of Engineers maintains in its reservoirs across the country. This research would help lawmakers understand whether growing commercial and industrial water demand is straining the water supplies that these reservoirs provide for communities, agriculture, and other uses. The findings could inform future decisions about water management and whether new water users need to be regulated or managed differently.

RETURN Act

The proposal would change how the IRS handles requests from taxpayers who believe they overpaid their taxes and deserve money back. It aims to speed up the process for reviewing these refund claims and improve how the IRS responds to people seeking their money, potentially reducing wait times and making it easier for taxpayers to get answers about their cases.

Home Internet Accessibility Act

The federal government would be required to study and report on whether public housing developments have the infrastructure needed to support high-speed internet service. This report would help Congress understand what upgrades or investments might be necessary to bring broadband access to residents of federally funded housing programs. The findings could inform future decisions about improving internet connectivity in low-income communities that rely on government housing assistance.

STAR Act

The proposal would change how Medicare pays long-term care hospitals, which treat patients who need extended hospital stays for serious conditions like recovery from surgery or managing chronic illnesses. These payment adjustments could affect both the hospitals that provide this care and the Medicare beneficiaries who rely on these facilities for treatment. The bill is currently under review by the House Committee on Ways and Means.

Foreign Medical Program Integrity and Improvement Act

The Department of Veterans Affairs operates a program that helps veterans receive medical care from foreign doctors and hospitals, and this proposal would strengthen the rules and monitoring systems to ensure the program works properly and protects veterans' safety. The changes would likely include better tracking of which foreign providers are qualified, clearer standards for what care can be covered, and improved oversight to prevent fraud or abuse. Veterans using this program and the VA itself would be affected by these new requirements.

Outcomes-Based Financing (OBF) for Students Act

The bill would create rules to protect students and workers who use "income-share agreements"—financial arrangements where students borrow money for education or job training and repay it based on their future earnings rather than a fixed loan amount. It aims to establish consumer safeguards while allowing these alternative financing tools to grow as options for people pursuing education and career training. The proposal affects students, workers, training programs, educational institutions, and the companies offering these financing products.

Impeaching Linda M. McMahon, Secretary of Education, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

This resolution would remove Linda M. McMahon from her position as Secretary of Education by impeaching her, which is Congress's formal process for charging a federal official with serious wrongdoing. The House Judiciary Committee would need to investigate the allegations and determine whether there is sufficient evidence of "high crimes and misdemeanors" before the full House could vote on whether to impeach her. If the House votes to impeach, the case would then go to the Senate for a trial to decide whether she should be removed from office.

Diversity Visa Protection and Modernization Act

The legislation would protect and update the diversity visa program, which currently allows the U.S. to issue visas to people from countries with low immigration rates to the United States. The bill aims to preserve this program while making changes to how it operates, affecting immigrants seeking to come to America through this pathway and potentially influencing immigration patterns across different countries.

Supporting the designation of a "National Learn to Swim Week" beginning on the 4th Sunday in June.

The proposal would officially recognize a "National Learn to Swim Week" starting on the fourth Sunday in June each year. This designation would raise awareness about swimming education and water safety, encouraging communities and organizations to promote swimming lessons and drowning prevention programs. The recognition does not create new funding or requirements, but rather highlights the importance of teaching people—especially children—how to swim.

End EPA Abuse Act of 2026

The proposal would restrict the federal government's ability to regulate air pollution and vehicle emissions under the Clean Air Act, while also limiting rules that could affect the electric grid's capacity. It would preserve consumer options in vehicle types, potentially slowing the transition toward electric vehicles by preventing stricter emission standards. The changes would affect automakers, power companies, and consumers who buy vehicles.

GRACE for Military Survivors Act

The legislation would provide tax relief and financial assistance to surviving spouses and dependents of military service members who die on active duty or from service-connected injuries. It aims to reduce the financial burden on military families during their time of grief by offering benefits such as extended tax deductions, survivor benefit adjustments, or other forms of economic support. The bill would primarily affect military families and survivors who have lost loved ones in service to the country.

No Goodwill for Harming Women Act

This proposal would prevent professional women's sports teams from using tax deductions to write off the cost of acquiring their franchises if they allow transgender athletes to compete on their rosters. The change would affect how sports team owners calculate their taxes by eliminating a standard business deduction currently available to them. The bill is currently under review by the House Committee on Ways and Means.

To amend the Small Business Act to provide re-entry entrepreneurship counseling and training services for incarcerated individuals, and for other purposes.

The proposal would require the Small Business Administration to offer counseling and training programs to help incarcerated people prepare to start their own businesses after release. These services would teach formerly incarcerated individuals about business planning, financing, and entrepreneurship to improve their chances of successfully re-entering the workforce and economy. The program aims to reduce recidivism by giving people leaving prison practical skills and support to become self-employed rather than returning to crime.

Health DATA Act of 2026

The proposal would require health insurance companies and employers offering group health plans to publicly share more detailed information about their coverage, costs, and how they make decisions about which treatments to cover. The goal is to make it harder for insurers to discriminate against certain groups of people and to give workers and patients better access to information so they can compare plans and understand what they're paying for. This would primarily affect employers who sponsor health insurance, insurance companies, and the millions of workers and their families who receive coverage through group health plans.

Cybersecurity Logging Enforcement and Accountability Reporting Act

The Department of Homeland Security would be required to study and report on what resources, guidance, and policies it's missing to properly track and log all cybersecurity incidents within the agency. This report would identify gaps that prevent the department from meeting its own cybersecurity record-keeping requirements, helping lawmakers understand what the agency needs to better protect its systems and data. The findings would inform decisions about funding and improvements needed to strengthen DHS cybersecurity practices.

Bank Failure Accountability Act

Large financial institutions would be required to delay part of the pay for their top executives, with that deferred money held in reserve to cover any fines the company might face for breaking laws or regulations. This approach aims to make senior leaders more financially accountable if their institution gets penalized, since they would personally lose compensation when fines are paid. The rule would apply to big banks and their related companies.

National Task Force on Caregiving Youth of Veterans Act.

The proposal would create a national task force to study and address the needs of young people who serve as caregivers for family members, particularly those caring for veterans or military-connected families. The task force would likely research the challenges these youth face, such as missed school or limited social opportunities, and develop recommendations to support them. This affects millions of young caregivers across the country who balance school, work, and caring responsibilities for sick, disabled, or elderly relatives.

Home Affordability Through Mortgage Simplification Act

This bill would update mortgage lending rules to make disclosure documents simpler and clearer for borrowers while giving lenders more flexibility in how they present information. It would change waiting periods before closing, allow slightly larger margins of error in interest rate calculations, and create safe zones where lenders won't face penalties for minor mistakes in disclosures. The changes would affect anyone getting a mortgage, as well as banks and lending companies that originate home loans.

To prohibit the Secretary of Agriculture from closing any research and development facility of the Forest Service.

The government would be prevented from shutting down any research and development facilities run by the Forest Service, which studies forestry, wildlife management, and natural resource issues. This would affect Forest Service scientists and researchers who work at these facilities, as well as the communities where these facilities operate. The restriction would limit the Agriculture Department's ability to reorganize or consolidate its research operations even if budget constraints or efficiency concerns arise.

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the seventeenth article of amendment.

This proposal would change how U.S. senators are elected by repealing the 17th Amendment, which currently allows voters to directly elect their senators. Instead, state legislatures would choose senators, returning to the system used before 1913. This would affect every American by removing their direct voting power in selecting half of Congress.

Health Disparity Zones Act of 2026

The proposal would create a new designation called "Health Disparity Zones" for areas with significant gaps in health outcomes and access to care, allowing the federal government to direct resources and support to improve healthcare in these underserved communities. Communities in these zones could receive funding, tax incentives, or other assistance to attract healthcare providers, expand medical services, and address the underlying causes of poor health outcomes. The bill would primarily affect residents of economically disadvantaged areas, healthcare providers, and local governments seeking to improve public health in their regions.

The Protecting Homeowners from Squatters Act

The federal government would stop providing Community Development Block Grants and mortgage support to cities and towns that permit squatting (occupying abandoned properties without permission). This would affect local governments, homeowners, and people trying to get mortgages in areas where squatting is allowed. The bill aims to discourage municipalities from tolerating unauthorized occupation of properties by cutting off federal housing and development funding.

SMOOTH Payments Act

This bill would change who can get tax credits to help pay for health insurance by requiring that insurance companies offer at least one health plan with a monthly payment option for out-of-pocket costs like deductibles and copays. Only people who buy insurance from companies meeting this requirement would be eligible for the federal tax credits that help make premiums more affordable. The change would affect millions of Americans who currently receive financial assistance to purchase health insurance through the marketplace.

Methane Removal Research and Innovation Act of 2026

The Department of Energy would be required to launch a research program focused on developing new technologies that can capture and remove methane gas from the atmosphere, addressing one of the major greenhouse gases contributing to climate change. This initiative would support scientists and engineers working on innovative solutions to reduce methane levels, which could benefit the environment and public health by helping slow global warming. The program would affect energy companies, research institutions, and ultimately communities dealing with climate-related impacts.

Next Generation Shipping Act

The federal government would fund research and development programs to create ships and boats that produce zero emissions, as well as help convert existing vessels to use cleaner technologies. This would include building the charging and fueling stations needed to support these zero-emission vessels. The program would affect shipping companies, maritime workers, and communities near ports that currently deal with air pollution from ships.

Combat Pay Protection Act

Military members would receive a one-time pay increase to correct past underpayments in special and incentive pay categories, along with automatic annual adjustments going forward to keep these bonuses competitive. This affects service members in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard who receive extra pay for hazardous duties, special skills, or other incentivized roles. The goal is to ensure military compensation stays fair and helps the armed forces recruit and retain qualified personnel.

Working Families Home Construction Act of 2026

The bill would allow two major government-backed mortgage companies, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, to buy and bundle residential construction loans into securities that can be sold to investors. This change would make it easier for builders and developers to get financing for new home construction projects by expanding the types of loans these companies can purchase. The measure could increase the availability of credit for residential construction and potentially help address housing supply issues.

SMART Energy Efficiency Standards Act

The federal government would allow different regions of the country to set their own energy efficiency standards for furnaces, air conditioners, and heat pumps, rather than having one national standard apply everywhere. This could let states and regions tailor requirements to match their local climates and energy needs, though it might create different rules for manufacturers and consumers depending on where they live. Homeowners and businesses that buy or replace heating and cooling equipment would potentially see different efficiency requirements and costs depending on their region.

American Energy and Mineral Infrastructure Act of 2026

The bill would speed up the process for getting government approval to build natural gas pipelines and related infrastructure by reducing the time and paperwork required under federal environmental laws. It would make it easier for companies to obtain permits by streamlining reviews under environmental protection rules, though it could result in less detailed environmental analysis before projects are approved. The changes would primarily affect natural gas companies and energy projects, while potentially reducing the environmental scrutiny that communities and conservation groups currently have input on.

North Korean Human Rights Reauthorization Act of 2026

The legislation would extend and update a law that supports efforts to promote human rights in North Korea, including programs that document abuses, assist defectors, and raise awareness about conditions there. The bill allows the U.S. government to continue funding and coordinating these humanitarian initiatives through various agencies and organizations working on North Korean issues. It affects diplomats, humanitarian workers, and organizations focused on international human rights advocacy.

A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Health and Human Services relating to "Restoring Flexibility in the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF)".

Congress would reject a new rule from the Department of Health and Human Services that loosens requirements for how states manage child care assistance programs, which help low-income families pay for child care. The rule would give states more flexibility in how they spend federal child care funding and set their own standards, but Congress is considering blocking it to maintain stricter national requirements. This would affect child care providers, low-income families receiving assistance, and state governments that administer these programs.

Outcomes-Based Financing (OBF) for Students Act

This bill would create rules to protect students and workers who use income-share agreements, which are financing tools where borrowers repay their education costs by giving a percentage of their future earnings rather than taking out traditional loans. The framework would establish consumer protections, disclosure requirements, and oversight standards for companies offering these agreements to ensure borrowers understand the terms and aren't taken advantage of. The bill aims to make these alternative financing options safer and more transparent while supporting workforce training and postsecondary education programs.

LIFT the BAR Act

This bill would expand certain government benefits—such as food assistance, healthcare, and other support programs—to include noncitizens who currently don't qualify for them under existing federal law. The changes would affect both the noncitizens seeking these benefits and the states and federal agencies that administer these programs. The bill has been sent to multiple congressional committees for review before any vote can take place.

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

The House of Representatives voted to elect a member to fill a vacant position on one or more of its standing committees. Standing committees handle specific areas like defense, healthcare, or taxes and are responsible for reviewing bills before they go to the full House for a vote. This action allows the House to maintain its committee structure and ensure all committees have their full membership.

A concurrent resolution providing for a joint session of the Congress in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Thursday, July 2, 2026, in honor of the semiquincentennial of the Declaration of Independence.

Congress would hold a special joint session meeting in Philadelphia on July 2, 2026, to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. This ceremonial gathering would bring together members of the House and Senate to commemorate this milestone in American history at the location where the Declaration was originally signed. The event would be primarily symbolic and celebratory rather than legislative in nature.

Preserving Patient Access Act

The bill would protect Medicare patients and people with individual health insurance plans from losing access to their doctors and prescription medications due to insurance company decisions. It aims to prevent insurers from suddenly removing doctors from their networks or stopping coverage for certain drugs without giving patients adequate notice and time to adjust their care. This would affect millions of seniors on Medicare, people buying insurance on their own, and the healthcare providers who treat them.

A resolution expressing support for the designation of July 10, 2026, as Journeyman Lineworkers Recognition Day.

The Senate has approved a resolution to officially recognize July 10, 2026, as Journeyman Lineworkers Recognition Day, honoring the skilled workers who install and maintain electrical power lines and telecommunications infrastructure. This designation celebrates the important contributions these workers make to keeping electricity and communications flowing to homes and businesses across the country. The resolution passed with unanimous support from all senators.

Artemis II Congressional Gold Medal Act

The crew members of the Artemis II Mission would each receive a Congressional Gold Medal, the highest civilian honor Congress can award, in recognition of their work advancing human space exploration. This medal honors their contributions to the mission, which represents a major step forward in NASA's efforts to return humans to the Moon and eventually explore Mars. The award recognizes both the individual astronauts and their collective achievement in pushing the boundaries of space travel.

A resolution designating June 30, 2026, as "Asteroid Day".

The Senate has approved a resolution to officially recognize June 30, 2026, as "Asteroid Day" in the United States. This designation honors the anniversary of a major asteroid impact in Siberia in 1908 and aims to raise public awareness about asteroids and the importance of planetary defense efforts. The resolution does not create any new laws or programs, but rather serves as a symbolic recognition of the day.

Power and Water for Families Act of 2026

This bill aims to set rules for building data centers and similar large power-consuming facilities while making sure regular electricity and water customers don't have to pay extra costs caused by these new industrial operations. It would encourage data centers to reuse water instead of drawing heavily on local water supplies, and it would likely establish cost-sharing requirements so that companies building these facilities help pay for the infrastructure upgrades needed to support them. The goal is to balance economic development with protecting existing residents and businesses from unexpected rate increases.

Affordable Youth Enrichment Opportunities Act

REG Act of 2026

The proposal would require the Securities and Exchange Commission and other financial regulators to study and report on how their new rules work together and affect the financial system as a whole, rather than looking at each rule in isolation. This would help lawmakers and the public understand the combined impact of multiple regulations on banks, investment firms, and other financial companies. The bill is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Financial Services.

Ocmulgee Mounds National Park Redesignation Act

The proposal would change Ocmulgee National Monument in Georgia into a national park, giving it a higher official status and potentially increasing federal funding and visitor resources. National parks typically receive more protection, staffing, and development support than national monuments, which could improve visitor facilities and preservation efforts at this historic site containing ancient Native American mounds. The change would primarily affect how the site is managed and funded by the National Park Service, with benefits for both tourists and local communities near the park.

EXCLAVE Act of 2026

The proposal would require federal agencies to consult with affected communities before creating new rules that could place unusual hardships on pene-exclaves—areas that are geographically isolated or cut off from the main part of a state or region. This would give residents and local officials in these hard-to-reach areas a chance to voice concerns about how federal regulations might impact them differently than other communities. The bill has been sent to the House Judiciary Committee for review.

Voluntary Consumer AI Disclosure Pilot Act

The federal government would create a test program requiring private companies to voluntarily disclose how they use artificial intelligence systems and what risks those systems might pose.

COVID–19 Commuter Benefits Distribution Act

Employees who have set aside pre-tax money in transportation benefit accounts (used for commuting costs like transit passes or parking) would be allowed to withdraw that money one time without penalty or tax consequences. This would give workers more flexibility to access funds they've already contributed to these accounts, potentially helping those facing financial hardship or changing commuting situations.

Budgeting for a Better America Act

The proposal would change how the House of Representatives creates and manages its annual budget and spending plans, potentially affecting how Congress allocates money to different government programs and agencies. The specific reforms would apply to House procedures and internal processes rather than directly impacting the public, though changes to the budget process could eventually influence which programs receive funding and how much money goes to different areas. The bill is currently being reviewed by the Budget Committee and Rules Committee to determine which parts fall under each committee's authority.

State Firearms Dealer Licensing Enhancement Act

States would receive federal grant money to create and run licensing programs for firearms dealers, similar to how some states already license other types of businesses. The grants would help states establish requirements, conduct background checks, and oversee gun shops to ensure they follow federal and state laws.

Jackson Women's Health Organization, which eliminated the federal constitutional right to abortion and returned abortion regulation to individual states. The measure expresses support for that ruling and its implications for how states can set their own abortion policies going forward.

Organic Imports Verification Act of 2026

The federal government would be required to study and report to Congress on how imported organic animal feed shipped in large quantities is tested for harmful residues like pesticides and contaminants. This affects farmers who buy imported organic feed for livestock and companies that import these products, ensuring there's transparency about safety standards for feed coming into the United States.

VA Health Care Capacity Assessment Act

The Department of Veterans Affairs would be required to assess and report on whether its medical facilities have enough capacity to meet veterans' health care needs, including identifying any gaps in services or staffing. The VA would need to evaluate current resources at its hospitals and clinics and determine what additional investments might be needed to serve the veteran population effectively. This would help Congress and VA leadership understand where the department may need to expand services or hire more staff to better serve veterans seeking medical care.

Global Climate Resilience Act of 2026

The proposal would allow the United States to forgive or reduce debt owed by developing countries, with the money saved going toward projects that help those nations prepare for and withstand climate change, natural disasters, and other challenges. This would primarily affect developing countries and could free up their resources to invest in infrastructure, healthcare, and other priorities instead of debt payments. The measure is currently being reviewed by congressional committees that handle foreign policy and financial matters.

Artemis II Congressional Gold Medal Act

The crew members of the Artemis II space mission would each receive a Congressional Gold Medal, the highest civilian honor Congress can award, in recognition of their contributions to space exploration.

The award recognizes their achievements and dedication to the mission.

AI Workforce Impact Study Act of 2026

The federal government would hire an independent auditor to research how artificial intelligence is changing American jobs—including which types of work might disappear, which new jobs might be created, and how workers can prepare for these changes. The study would help lawmakers understand whether new training programs or policies are needed to help workers adapt to AI technology. This information would be used to inform future decisions about education, job training, and worker support programs.

Preventing Fugitive Fraudsters Act

When someone is charged with fraud-related crimes, judges would be required to take away their passport as a condition of letting them stay out of jail while awaiting trial. This prevents defendants accused of fraud from fleeing the country before their case is resolved. The measure affects people facing fraud charges and aims to reduce the risk that they'll disappear before facing justice.

No Lead in Toys Act

The government's watchdog agency (GAO) found ways to make children's products safer, and this bill would require the Consumer Product Safety Commission to actually put those recommendations into practice. The changes could affect toy makers, clothing manufacturers, and other companies that make products for kids, as well as protect children from potential hazards. The bill is currently being reviewed by the Senate Commerce Committee.

Milk From Family Dairies Act of 2026

The bill would create a new program to help stabilize dairy prices and production when market conditions become unstable, protecting dairy farmers from extreme price swings.

This affects dairy farmers, milk processors, and ultimately consumers who buy milk and dairy products.

Gas Money Saved Act

The federal government would review and potentially change the fuel efficiency standards that car manufacturers must meet for their vehicle fleets. This could affect automakers' production decisions and ultimately influence what kinds of cars are available to consumers and how much they cost at the pump. The proposal is currently being considered by the Senate Commerce Committee.

Preventing Crimes Against Veterans Act of 2026

The bill would create new legal penalties to help stop people from committing fraud specifically targeting veterans, such as scams involving benefits, healthcare, or other services they're entitled to receive. By giving law enforcement an additional tool to prosecute these crimes, the legislation aims to protect veterans from dishonest actors who exploit their military service or take advantage of their benefits programs.

TRADES Act

The proposal would raise taxes on investment earnings for wealthy private colleges and universities, then use that additional revenue to fund career and technical education programs that train students for specific jobs like plumbing, nursing, or electrician work. This would affect private educational institutions with significant endowments while directing more money toward vocational training options for students who want alternatives to traditional four-year degrees.

Monitor Accountability Act

Courts sometimes appoint monitors to oversee compliance with court orders, particularly in cases involving large organizations or government agencies, and this bill would establish rules and conditions for how those monitors can be appointed and operate. The legislation would likely affect businesses, government agencies, and other entities that face court-ordered monitoring, as well as the judges and monitors involved in these oversight arrangements. By setting clearer standards for monitor appointments, the bill aims to ensure these oversight processes work fairly and effectively.

Securing Partner Supply Chains Act

The federal government would create a new program to review and evaluate foreign investments in the United States, particularly those that might affect national security or critical industries. This screening initiative would help the State Department identify potential risks from foreign companies or investors buying American businesses, technology, or infrastructure. The effort would affect major corporations, foreign investors, and government agencies involved in evaluating deals that could impact American economic and security interests.

Right Start Child Care and Education Act of 2026

The government would offer tax breaks and financial incentives to students who earn degrees in child care fields and then work at child care facilities, aiming to attract more qualified workers to an industry that often struggles with staffing shortages. This would help both students manage the cost of education in this field and help child care centers find and keep trained staff. The proposal is currently under review by the Senate Finance Committee.

EBOLA Act

The United States would be required to maintain its membership and participation in the World Health Organization, preventing the country from withdrawing from the international health agency. This affects American involvement in global disease monitoring, pandemic response coordination, and health emergencies that cross borders. The bill ensures the U.S. continues contributing to and benefiting from the WHO's work on infectious disease prevention and international health cooperation.

Stop the Sexualization of Children Act

Schools receiving federal education funding would be prohibited from using that money for programs, activities, or materials containing sexually oriented content aimed at children under 18. The ban would apply to curriculum development, classroom activities, library materials, and school-sponsored events. Schools that violate this restriction could lose their federal education funding.

Right to Vote Act

The legislation would establish federal voting standards and protections for elections involving federal offices like President, Senator, and Representative.

Congress is requesting the State Department to provide information about Israel's human rights record, as required by a 1961 law that ties U.S. foreign aid to countries' treatment of their citizens. The resolution asks for details on any human rights concerns in Israel so lawmakers can decide whether U.S. aid should continue or be adjusted. This affects the relationship between the United States and Israel, as well as how American taxpayer money is spent on foreign assistance.

Credit for Prior Learning Act

This bill would require colleges to include the cost of testing that evaluates skills students already have (from work experience, military service, or self-study) as part of their official cost of attendance calculations. This change would make it easier for students to get financial aid to pay for these assessment tests, which can help them earn college credits without taking the actual courses. The bill primarily affects college students seeking to demonstrate prior knowledge and the financial aid they receive.

Dismemberment Abortion Ban Act of 2026

The bill 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. It would apply to doctors and medical professionals who perform this procedure, potentially resulting in criminal penalties. The measure is currently under review by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

AI Labeling Act of 2026

The legislation would require companies and individuals to clearly label content created or significantly altered by artificial intelligence so that people know when they're viewing AI-generated material rather than authentic human-created content. This would affect social media platforms, news outlets, advertisers, and anyone else publishing AI-generated images, videos, audio, or text online. The requirement aims to help the public make informed decisions about what they're reading, watching, or listening to while combating potential misinformation and deception.

SAFE Banking Act of 2026

Banks and other financial companies would be protected from federal penalties if they provide banking services to marijuana businesses that are legal under state law. Currently, many banks avoid working with legal marijuana companies because federal law still classifies marijuana as illegal, creating a conflict that puts financial institutions at legal risk. This bill would allow banks to safely serve these state-approved marijuana businesses and their suppliers without fear of federal prosecution or losing their banking licenses.

Food Assurance and Security Act

The federal government would create a new program to measure how many Americans struggle to afford enough food, with the Agriculture Department and Census Bureau working together to collect and track this data. This would help policymakers understand the scope of food insecurity across the country and identify which communities need the most help with food assistance programs. The information gathered could be used to improve how food aid is distributed and to evaluate whether current programs are effectively reducing hunger.

A resolution designating June 2026 as "Great Outdoors Month".

The resolution would officially recognize June 2026 as "Great Outdoors Month" to encourage Americans to spend time enjoying parks, forests, and other natural spaces. This symbolic designation aims to promote outdoor recreation and appreciation for the nation's natural resources among the general public.

Let Doctors Provide Reproductive Health Care Act

The bill would protect healthcare providers' ability to offer reproductive health services, including contraception and abortion care, by preventing states and the federal government from restricting or penalizing doctors and clinics that provide these services.

The measure is currently under review by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Blair Holt Firearm Owner Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2026

The proposal would require people to obtain a license before buying certain firearms and would create a system to record those sales.

The bill aims to ensure the agency continues investing in research and public awareness about child sexual abuse prevention strategies.

Supporting Our Direct Care Workforce and Family Caregivers Act

The federal government would provide money to help hire, train, and keep workers who provide direct care to elderly people, people with disabilities, and others who need assistance with daily activities. The bill would also give grants to support family members who serve as unpaid caregivers for their loved ones. These funds aim to address the shortage of caregivers and help both professional care workers and families afford the costs of providing care.

Reproductive Health Care Training Act of 2026

The bill would create a federal education program to train more doctors and healthcare providers in abortion procedures and expand access to abortion care training in medical schools and residency programs. It would affect medical students, doctors-in-training, and healthcare institutions that provide reproductive health services. The goal is to increase the number of trained providers available to offer abortion services across the country.

Military Sexual Trauma Accountability Act

Service members and veterans who experience sexual assault or harassment while in the military would be able to sue the federal government for damages, similar to how civilians can sue for injuries caused by government negligence. Currently, military personnel have very limited ability to take legal action against the government for these traumatic experiences. This change would give them a legal pathway to seek compensation and hold the government accountable.

COVID–19 Commuter Benefits Distribution Act

Workers who have set aside pre-tax money in transportation benefit accounts (used for parking, transit passes, or vanpools) would be allowed to withdraw that money one time without penalty or tax consequences. This would give employees more flexibility to access funds they've already contributed to these accounts, which are typically restricted to transportation-related expenses only. The change would primarily benefit workers who use public transportation or employer-sponsored commuting programs.

Recognizing the importance of pollinators to ecosystem health and agriculture in the United States and expressing support for "National Pollinator Week".

The resolution recognizes how important bees, butterflies, and other pollinators are to keeping ecosystems healthy and supporting American farming, and it expresses support for designating a "National Pollinator Week" to raise awareness about these insects. This measure affects farmers, gardeners, and anyone who depends on crops that rely on pollinators to produce food. The bill is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Agriculture.

Save Our Pedestrians Act of 2026

States would be required to set aside a portion of their federal highway funding specifically for safety projects at pedestrian crossings where injuries and deaths are highest, such as installing better lighting, wider sidewalks, or traffic signals. This would help protect pedestrians, cyclists, and other vulnerable road users by forcing states to prioritize the most dangerous crossing locations. The change would affect state transportation departments and communities across the country that struggle with pedestrian safety issues.

Getting Terrorist Fanatics Out Act of 2026

The proposal would allow the U.S. government to strip citizenship from people who are found to have provided support to terrorist organizations or causes. This would apply to naturalized citizens (those who became U.S. citizens through the naturalization process rather than being born here) and could affect immigrants who have obtained citizenship but are later discovered to have ties to terrorism. The change would give authorities an additional tool to revoke citizenship status for national security purposes.

Medicare Cost Cap Act of 2026

This bill would limit how much money Medicare patients have to pay out of their own pockets for doctor visits, hospital stays, and other medical services, protecting seniors from unexpectedly high medical bills. It would also strengthen programs that help low-income seniors and people eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid afford their healthcare costs. The changes aim to make healthcare more affordable and predictable for older Americans, especially those with limited incomes.

Servicemember Residence Protection Act of 2026

The proposal would prevent squatters from gaining legal ownership rights to homes owned by active-duty military members and veterans, overriding state laws that might otherwise allow someone to claim property after occupying it for a certain period of time. This protection would apply even if a service member is deployed overseas or unable to actively maintain their property during military service. The change aims to safeguard military families' homes from being lost to squatters while they are serving their country.

State Firearms Dealer Licensing Enhancement Act

The federal government would provide money to states that create licensing programs for gun dealers, similar to how some states already license other businesses. States that set up these dealer licensing systems could receive federal grants to help cover the costs of running them. This would allow states to have more control over regulating who can legally sell firearms within their borders.

End EPA Abuse Act of 2026

This bill would limit the federal government's ability to regulate air pollution and vehicle emissions under the Clean Air Act, while also restricting rules that could affect the electric power grid.

Reproductive Health Travel Fund Act of 2026

The bill would provide federal grants to organizations that help people travel to and access abortion services, covering expenses like transportation, lodging, and other practical support needed to reach abortion providers. This would primarily affect people who live in areas with limited abortion access and nonprofit organizations that assist them. The proposal is currently under review by the Senate health committee.

Turn the Tide Act

The legislation would allocate federal funding to support various drug addiction and mental health programs established under the SUPPORT Act, which helps communities address the opioid crisis and provides treatment services to patients struggling with substance abuse. The money would go toward initiatives like medication-assisted treatment, recovery support services, and prevention programs in states and local communities. This funding would affect people battling addiction, healthcare providers offering treatment, and communities working to combat the opioid epidemic.

Rural Hospital Emergency Room Guarantee Act

The proposal would create a dedicated funding source to help rural hospitals maintain their emergency rooms, which many small communities depend on for urgent medical care. Rural emergency departments have been closing at increasing rates, leaving residents in remote areas with longer travel times to reach emergency services. The bill aims to prevent further closures by ensuring these hospitals have reliable financial support to keep their ERs operating.

Space Ready 2.0 Act

NASA would be allowed to test a pilot program that lets the space agency invest directly in building and improving facilities at its research centers across the country. This would give NASA more flexibility to upgrade laboratories, equipment, and infrastructure without going through the usual lengthy approval process. The program would help NASA Centers modernize their facilities to support space exploration and scientific research.

A resolution recognizing June 2026, as "LGBTQ Pride Month".

This resolution would officially recognize June 2026 as LGBTQ Pride Month at the federal level, expressing congressional support for celebrating the history and contributions of LGBTQ Americans. The measure is largely symbolic and does not create new laws or programs, but serves as a formal acknowledgment of the month's significance to the LGBTQ community and their allies. It affects no specific groups through policy changes but represents a statement of values from Congress.

Protecting Indian Water Rights Settlements Act of 2026

The bill would modify how money is organized within a fund that helps complete water rights agreements with Native American tribes, by creating separate accounts within that fund for different purposes. This change would help track and manage the settlement payments more clearly as the government works to fulfill its obligations to tribes regarding water access and rights. Native American tribes and communities that have pending water rights settlements would be the primary beneficiaries of this organizational improvement.

BUFFER Act

The proposal would clarify which types of land can be enrolled in a federal program that pays farmers to take environmentally sensitive acres out of production and protect them through conservation practices. This affects farmers and landowners who participate in the conservation reserve program, as well as the government's ability to manage which properties qualify for these payments. The change aims to remove confusion about land eligibility rules that have existed since the original 1985 farm bill.

A resolution condemning the People's Republic of China's Ethnic Unity and Progress Law, concerned with its implications on the rights and freedoms, as well as survival of the identity, of Tibetans, Uyghurs, Mongolians, and other affected communities, and calling on the Government of the People's Republic of China to end its abuses and campaigns of transnational repression that undermine United States sovereignty and threaten the safety and freedoms of people in the United States.

Congress is expressing strong disapproval of China's Ethnic Unity and Progress Law, which it says threatens the rights and cultural identity of Tibetans, Uyghurs, Mongolians, and other minority groups in China. The resolution calls on the Chinese government to stop what lawmakers view as human rights abuses and efforts to suppress dissent among these communities, while also addressing concerns that China's repressive actions extend into the United States and threaten American citizens' freedoms.

Next Generation Shipping Act

The federal government would create a program to help develop and test ships and boats that produce zero emissions, as well as upgrade existing vessels with cleaner technology and build the charging or fueling stations they need. This would affect shipping companies, boat manufacturers, and ports that would receive funding and support to transition away from diesel and other polluting fuels. The goal is to reduce pollution from maritime transportation while helping the industry adapt to cleaner alternatives.

Specialized Infant Formula Protection Act

The bill would protect the supply of specialized infant formula designed for premature and medically fragile babies by ensuring the Food and Drug Administration maintains oversight while keeping these products available to families who need them. Premature infants often cannot tolerate standard formula and require specific medical formulations, so this legislation aims to prevent shortages that could harm vulnerable newborns. The measure affects parents of preterm babies, hospitals, and formula manufacturers who produce these specialized medical products.

Investor Choice Act of 2026

The bill would ban companies from forcing customers and employees to sign agreements that require them to settle disputes through private arbitration instead of going to court. This change would allow workers and consumers to pursue lawsuits against securities firms and other companies rather than being locked into private dispute resolution processes. The measure affects anyone who invests in securities or works in the financial industry.

Medicaid RAC Improvement Act of 2026

The government's auditing office has found ways to improve how Medicaid checks for billing mistakes and recovers money that was overpaid to healthcare providers, and this bill would put those recommendations into action. The changes would help identify more cases where Medicaid was billed incorrectly or fraudulently, allowing the program to recover additional funds that can be redirected to patient care. This affects healthcare providers, state Medicaid programs, and ultimately taxpayers who fund the program.

The program would affect defense contractors, manufacturers working with advanced 3D printing technology, and military agencies that might use these materials.

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the monitoring and regulation of water systems not be weaponized for the purposes of surveilling, tracking, or detecting use of, stigmatizing, and further restricting access to medication abortion care.

This resolution expresses the House's position that federal agencies should not use water system monitoring and testing to track or restrict access to medication abortion. The measure addresses concerns that wastewater surveillance—which can detect traces of abortion medications—could be used to identify people seeking abortions or to enforce restrictions on these drugs.

PROTECT Act

The government would prevent private companies and individuals from trademarking symbols, logos, or names that the military already uses for official awards and honors. This protects military decorations like the Medal of Honor and Purple Heart from being commercialized or misused by businesses trying to profit off them. The change affects trademark applicants and companies that might otherwise try to register these protected military symbols as their own brands.

Unmanned System Command and Control Integration Assessment Act of 2026

The Department of Defense would be required to study whether it can adopt open-architecture systems for controlling unmanned drones and robots across all military branches and levels, learning from how allied countries currently manage their unmanned systems. The study would examine the feasibility and benefits of making these control systems more standardized and flexible so different types of unmanned equipment can work together more easily. The findings would be reported back to Congress to help inform future decisions about military drone and robot operations.

National Fab Lab Network Act of 2026

The bill would create a nationwide network of local digital fabrication labs (called "fab labs") that give people free or low-cost access to advanced manufacturing equipment like 3D printers, laser cutters, and computer-controlled machines.

The network would be run as a nonprofit organization to ensure these tools remain accessible to communities across the country.

American Drone Manufacturing Dominance Act of 2026

The bill would require organizations receiving federal grants to stop using drones made by certain foreign countries and would push law enforcement agencies to buy American-made drones instead. It would also use tariff money collected on foreign drones to help boost domestic drone manufacturing and reduce America's dependence on foreign drone technology. The goal is to strengthen U.S. drone production while improving security for police and other government agencies.

A resolution recognizing and honoring the 27th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision in Olmstead v L.C.

This resolution commemorates the 27th anniversary of a landmark Supreme Court ruling that established the right of people with disabilities to live in their communities rather than being forced into institutions. The decision affirmed that individuals with disabilities should have access to community-based services and support, allowing them to participate in everyday life alongside people without disabilities. The resolution honors this important legal victory for disability rights and recognizes its ongoing impact on how Americans with disabilities are treated and supported.

Federal Workforce Reproductive Rights Protection Act

This bill would require the federal government to ensure that its employees have access to reproductive healthcare services, including coverage and information about family planning options. The legislation aims to protect federal workers' ability to receive these medical services without barriers or restrictions.

SKILL Act

Businesses that donate money or resources to educational and workforce training programs run by groups of schools and employers would receive a tax credit to reduce their federal income taxes.

A bill to improve the point-in-time count conducted by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and for other purposes.

The federal government currently conducts an annual count of homeless people to help guide housing assistance programs, but this bill would improve how that count is done to get more accurate numbers. Better data would help cities and states better understand their homelessness problems and allocate resources more effectively to help people experiencing homelessness. The changes would affect homeless service providers, local governments, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development that oversees these counts.

Reproductive Health Care Training Act of 2026

The proposal would create a federal education program to train more doctors and healthcare providers in abortion procedures and expand access to abortion care training at medical schools and residency programs. It would affect medical students, doctors in training, and healthcare institutions by providing resources and support for abortion-related medical education. The goal is to increase the number of healthcare professionals qualified to provide abortion services.

Unlocking Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic Funding Act

The bill would change how the government funds free tax help clinics that serve low-income people by reducing the amount of money these clinics need to raise on their own to receive federal grants. Currently, clinics must match federal funding dollar-for-dollar with their own resources, which can be difficult for smaller organizations; this change would make it easier for them to operate and help more low-income taxpayers prepare their returns and resolve tax issues.

Hazardous Fuels Transportation Assistance Act of 2026

The federal government would create a grant program to help pay for safely transporting hazardous fuels, which are flammable materials that require special handling and equipment. This would assist companies, local governments, and organizations that need to move these dangerous materials by providing financial support to cover transportation costs and safety measures. The program aims to reduce risks and accidents associated with hazardous fuel transport across the country.

Medicaid RAC Improvement Act of 2026

The government would strengthen its system for finding and recovering money that was incorrectly paid out through Medicaid, following recommendations from the Government Accountability Office to make the process more effective. This affects states, healthcare providers, and insurance companies involved in Medicaid by potentially requiring them to refund overpayments they received. The bill aims to catch billing errors and fraud more efficiently to save taxpayer money in the Medicaid program.

It has been sent to the Judiciary Committee for consideration.

SABER Act of 2026

The proposal would allow the U.S. government to use money from the Ukraine Support Fund to help Ukraine buy military equipment and defense services to fight back against Russian aggression and rebuild after the conflict. This would give Ukraine more flexibility in how it uses American aid to strengthen its military and recover from the damage caused by the war. The change affects how U.S. foreign aid dollars are spent in supporting Ukraine's defense and recovery efforts.

STOP Frontovers Act of 2026

The federal government would be required to create new safety standards for cars to prevent injuries and deaths caused by low-speed collisions, protecting children, pedestrians, cyclists, and pets. These standards would likely involve technology or design changes to vehicles to reduce harm during accidents that happen at slower speeds, such as in parking lots or residential areas. The Transportation Department would develop and enforce these new safety rules.

Fair Telehealth Billing Act of 2026

Healthcare providers and facilities would be banned from charging separate facility fees when delivering telehealth services to patients, meaning people using virtual doctor visits would only pay for the actual medical consultation rather than additional facility charges. The change would apply to health plans covered under federal retirement and employee benefits law, potentially saving patients money on remote healthcare visits. Workers and retirees with employer-sponsored health insurance would be the primary beneficiaries of this restriction on extra fees.

To amend the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 to extend the time period for which certain regulations concerning the North Atlantic right whale are effective.

The proposal would extend rules designed to protect North Atlantic right whales, which are an endangered species facing threats from ship strikes and fishing gear entanglement. The extension would keep existing regulations in place longer, affecting shipping companies, fishing operations, and maritime industries that operate in waters where these whales live. This gives environmental protections more time to remain active while potentially allowing for further study or development of additional conservation measures.

MOMMIES Act

Maximizing Outcomes for Moms through Medicaid Improvement and Enhancement of Services Act or the MOMMIES Act This bill establishes a series of programs and requirements under Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) relating to maternal health. For example, the bill expands eligibility for coverage under Medicaid and CHIP from 60 days to one year after the last day of pregnancy and requires such coverage to include oral health services. The bill also establishes a demonstration program in which states receive grants to implement or expand models for maternity care homes that provide services to Medicaid or CHIP beneficiaries. The Government Accountability Office must report on (1) gaps in coverage under Medicaid and CHIP for pregnant and postpartum women, and (2) the use of telehealth by state Medicaid programs to increase access to maternity care.

Saving FACE Act of 2026

The proposal would eliminate federal criminal penalties for blocking or interfering with people trying to access abortion services. Currently, federal law makes it a crime to use force, threats, or physical obstruction to prevent someone from obtaining an abortion, and this bill would remove those criminal penalties. The change would affect abortion providers, patients seeking abortion care, and anyone involved in protests or blockades at abortion clinics.

Increasing Tribal Input on Nutrition Act of 2026

The proposal would require the federal government to consult with Native American tribes before making decisions about food distribution programs that serve people on Indian reservations, and would give tribes a greater say in how these programs operate. This affects Native American communities that rely on federal food assistance, as well as the tribes themselves who would have more input into what foods are available and how the programs are run. The bill is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Agriculture.

A bill to amend the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 to increase the civil penalties that may be imposed under that Act.

This bill increases civil penalties for violations of U.S. export control laws. Specifically, the bill increases the maximum statutory civil penalty for each violation of any regulation, order, or license issued under the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (ECRA) to $1.2 million or four times the value of the transaction, whichever is greater. (Currently, the maximum statutory civil penalty for each violation of ECRA is $300,000 or twice the value of the transaction, whichever is greater. The Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security adjusts this maximum amount annually for inflation.)

SAFER Health Act of 2026

The proposal would strengthen privacy protections for medical records related to pregnancy termination or miscarriage, ensuring that health information about these sensitive situations cannot be easily shared or accessed without a patient's permission under existing federal health privacy laws. This would affect patients, healthcare providers, and health insurance companies by clarifying that information about pregnancy loss or abortion procedures receives the same strict confidentiality protections as other private medical information. The change aims to prevent this health data from being used against patients in legal cases or shared with law enforcement without explicit consent.

Wage Theft Prevention and Wage Recovery Act

The legislation would strengthen protections against wage theft by making it easier for workers to recover unpaid wages and allowing the Department of Labor to pursue cases on their behalf. It would also provide federal grants to help states and organizations prevent wage violations like employers failing to pay minimum wage or overtime. The bill aims to help workers who have been cheated out of pay recover what they're owed and reduce these violations from happening in the first place.

Bycatch Reduction Act

This bill would require fishing vessels in Alaska's waters to use equipment that reduces accidental catches of unwanted fish and protects the ocean floor from damage caused by fishing nets, while also setting up a fund to help fishermen transition to these new practices. It would modernize how fishing is monitored using cameras and technology, prevent imports of seafood caught using unsustainable methods, and give the public more say in fishing decisions made by regional councils. These changes would affect commercial fishing companies and workers in Alaska, seafood consumers, and marine ecosystems in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska.

Access to Innovative Treatments Act of 2026

Access to Innovative Treatments Act of 2026 This bill requires the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to review adverse national coverage determinations of drugs under Medicare within 30 days of receiving a request to do so. Specifically, the CMS must review within 30 days any denials or limitations of coverage that are inconsistent with the drug's approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The bill's requirements do not apply if the CMS already conducted such a review within a two-year period. The bill also prohibits the CMS from applying prior coverage determinations that were made for drugs before they were approved by the FDA if such determinations are inconsistent with the drug's approval.

Artificial Intelligence Data Center Moratorium Act

The proposal would pause the construction and operation of large artificial intelligence data centers in the United States for a set period, affecting tech companies and AI developers who need these facilities to train and run AI systems. The pause would give Congress and regulators time to study the potential impacts of AI data centers on electricity grids, national security, and the environment before allowing new ones to be built. This would slow down AI development and deployment in the U.S. while the government figures out what rules should govern these massive computing facilities.

Countering CCP Act

The federal government would be required to examine medical devices made in China to identify potential cybersecurity weaknesses that could allow hackers to access or interfere with them.

The plan would likely include requirements for disease reporting, research funding, and coordination between farms and government agencies.

ICTS Supply Chain Security Act of 2026

The bill would strengthen rules around how the U.S. government controls the export of technology and communication services to other countries, with a focus on protecting American supply chains from security risks. It gives federal agencies more authority to review and restrict sales of sensitive tech products and services to foreign buyers, particularly those that could pose national security threats. This would affect technology companies, telecommunications firms, and other businesses that sell products or services internationally.

Shandra Eisenga Human Cell and Tissue Product Safety Act

The federal government would launch a nationwide education campaign to inform the public and doctors about the risks and benefits of transplanting human cells and tissues, such as skin grafts or bone replacements. The campaign would be based on scientific evidence and aim to help patients and healthcare providers make informed decisions about these types of medical procedures. This would affect patients considering cell or tissue transplants, doctors who perform these procedures, and the general public learning about transplant options.

Support our Firefighters Act

Federal wildland firefighters would receive additional paid leave time to rest and recover after working on large fires, similar to how the military provides rest periods for troops returning from deployments. This change would apply to government employees who fight wildfires on federal lands and would help reduce burnout among workers who face physically and mentally demanding seasons. The bill is currently being reviewed by congressional committees to determine whether it should move forward.

Aging with Artificial Intelligence Act of 2026

The bill would create protections for older adults who interact with artificial intelligence systems like chatbots, addressing potential harms such as scams, misinformation, or manipulation that seniors might be particularly vulnerable to. It would likely establish rules for how AI companies must design and operate these systems when they're used by or marketed to older people, and could require disclosures about when someone is talking to an AI rather than a human. The measure aims to safeguard seniors' financial security, health decisions, and personal information in an increasingly AI-driven world.

Risk-based Oversight for Integrity Act

The government would study how to improve its inspection system for organic farms and food producers by focusing resources on the highest-risk operations that could compromise organic standards. The bill would define what "risk to organic integrity" means and give the Department of Agriculture authority to make regulatory changes based on the study's findings. This affects organic farmers, food companies, and consumers who buy organic products.

The Public Service Accountability Act

Members of Congress, their spouses, and their dependents would be banned from buying, selling, or owning individual stocks under this proposal. The goal is to prevent lawmakers from potentially profiting from stock trades based on inside information they gain through their work in government. The measure would apply the same restrictions to family members living with or financially dependent on members of Congress.

Child Care Innovation Advancement Act of 2026

The bill would create a pilot program to test new ways of providing nutritious meals to children in child care settings, with the goal of improving their access to healthy food. The program would likely involve grants or funding to child care facilities to help them serve better meals and potentially experiment with different nutrition approaches. This would affect child care providers, the children they serve, and families looking for quality nutrition options for their kids.

A resolution congratulating the Johnson County Community College Cavaliers on winning the 2026 National Junior College Athletic Association Division I Baseball National Championship.

Congress is officially recognizing and congratulating the Johnson County Community College baseball team for winning the 2026 NJCAA Division I national championship. This resolution honors the athletes, coaches, and staff who contributed to the team's success. The measure passed the Senate unanimously without any changes.

A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services of the Department of Health and Human Services relating to "Medicare Program; Implementation of Prior Authorization for Select Services for the Wasteful and Inappropriate Services Reduction (WISeR) Model".

This joint resolution prohibits the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) from testing a new Medicare payment model in certain states that involves a prior authorization process and the use of enhanced technology by third-party contractors to determine whether certain claims should be paid. Specifically, the joint resolution nullifies a notice issued by the CMS on July 1, 2025, titled Medicare Program; Implementation of Prior Authorization for Select Services for the Wasteful and Inappropriate Services Reduction (WISeR) Model . (On May 12, 2026, the Government Accountability Office issued a letter of opinion stating that this notice constituted an agency rule and is therefore subject to the Congressional Review Act.) The CMS selected six states to participate in this model over a six-year period: New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, and Washington. Under the model, contracted companies must process prior authorization requests (i.e., requests for coverage determinations before a service is furnished) for certain services using enhanced technology (e.g., artificial intelligence). Contracted companies are paid based on the share of resulting savings. The CMS aims to test the model's ability to produce accurate results while streamlining the prior authorization process for Medicare claims. The model is based in part on similar processes used for Medicare Advantage claims. CMS began implementing the model on January 1, 2026. This joint resolution prohibits the CMS from continuing to do so.

Modernizing Opioid Treatment Access Act 2.0 of 2026

The bill would allow people struggling with opioid addiction to receive methadone treatment through local pharmacies instead of only through specialized clinics, making it easier and more convenient for patients to access this medication. This change would expand treatment options for people with opioid use disorder, particularly those in rural areas or communities with limited clinic access, while still maintaining safety standards for the medication. Pharmacists and pharmacy staff would play a larger role in delivering addiction treatment services alongside doctors and addiction specialists.

Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor Congressional Gold Medal Act

This bill would award a Congressional Gold Medal to American military members and allied soldiers who were captured by Japan during World War II in the Pacific and held as prisoners of war between December 1941 and August 1945. The medal is a prestigious honor that recognizes extraordinary service and sacrifice, and would acknowledge the suffering and resilience of these former prisoners of war. The award would apply collectively to all individuals who meet these criteria, rather than being given to specific individuals.

Green Ribbon Act of 2026

The Green Ribbon Schools Program recognizes schools that excel in environmental sustainability, environmental education, and student health, and this bill would give states more resources and support to help more schools participate in and earn this recognition. The expanded program would help schools across the country adopt greener practices, teach students about environmental issues, and create healthier learning environments. Students, teachers, and school administrators would benefit from increased funding and technical assistance to make their schools more environmentally friendly.

One-Stop Pilot Program Extension Act

One-Stop Pilot Program Extension Act This bill revises and extends the One Stop Security program of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Under this pilot program, eligible passengers and their checked baggage arriving in the United States from certain foreign airports with connecting flights may be eligible to continue without additional TSA security re-screening. The bill extends the pilot program through December 23, 2032, from the current December 23, 2028. The bill also revises the security requirements for excluding checked baggage from additional TSA security re-screening. Among other things, the bill specifies that a passenger must be unable to access their checked baggage until arrival at their final destination and that U.S. Customs and Border Protection must have received timely images of the baggage from the participating foreign airport prior to a passenger’s arrival in the United States.

Keep Kids in School Act

Schools would receive federal funding and support to address chronic absenteeism—when students miss too many days of school—and to improve safety in their buildings. The money could be used for programs that help keep students engaged and attending class regularly, as well as initiatives to make school environments safer for both students and staff. This would primarily affect public elementary and secondary schools, students, teachers, and school administrators.

Premium Transparency Act

This bill would require health insurance companies to publicly disclose how much money they spend on overhead costs and administrative expenses, as well as details about how much they pay out for medical claims, so patients and regulators can see where insurance premiums actually go. It would also direct the federal government to create clear guidelines for what insurance information companies must provide to customers. The changes would apply to private health insurance plans and Medicare, making the insurance industry more transparent about its spending.

Reimbursable Screening Services Program Extension Act of 2026

Reimbursable Screening Services Program Extension Act of 2026 This bill extends the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Reimbursable Screening Services Program through FY2031. The bill also allows TSA to expand the pilot program to up to 14 locations, from the current limit of not more than 8 locations. The Reimbursable Screening Services Program is a pilot program that allows TSA to be reimbursed for establishing and providing screening services outside an airport terminal’s existing primary screening area for passengers.

Lower Costs, More Transparency Act of 2026

The proposal would require hospitals, insurance companies, and other healthcare providers to publicly disclose their prices for medical services and procedures so patients can compare costs before receiving care. By making pricing information transparent and easy to access, patients and their families would be able to shop around for more affordable healthcare options and understand what they'll pay upfront. This affects anyone who uses healthcare services, as well as the hospitals and insurance companies that would need to comply with the new disclosure requirements.

DNII Act of 2026

The bill would establish clearer procedures for filling the position of Director of National Intelligence when it becomes vacant, ensuring the intelligence community has stable leadership during transitions. It would likely specify how long an acting director can serve and what steps must be taken to nominate and confirm a permanent replacement, affecting how the government's intelligence agencies operate during leadership changes.

Housing Financial Literacy Act of 2026

The federal government would reduce mortgage insurance costs for first-time homebuyers who complete a financial literacy and housing counseling program. This discount would apply to FHA loans, which are popular among people buying their first home because they require smaller down payments than conventional mortgages. The goal is to help new homeowners save money while encouraging them to learn about budgeting and responsible homeownership.

Historic Preservation and Land Conservation Certainty Act

The legislation would allow certain partnerships that donated conservation easements to resolve tax disputes with the IRS through an election process rather than going through lengthy court battles. This would primarily affect business owners and investors who made conservation easement donations and are facing IRS challenges over the tax deductions they claimed. The measure aims to provide a faster, less costly way to settle these disagreements about whether the donations qualify for the tax benefits the donors claimed.

Foster Youth Housing Opportunity Act

Young people who have aged out of the foster care system would get better help connecting with federal housing assistance programs designed to support them. The bill updates how Social Security coordinates with these housing programs to make sure youth transitioning out of foster care can more easily access the financial support available to them. This affects former foster youth who are trying to find stable housing after leaving the care system.

Promoting Human Flourishing in Foreign Assistance Act

This bill would restrict U.S. foreign aid money from going to international organizations that provide abortion services, promote certain views about gender identity, or advance what the bill describes as discriminatory equity practices. The restrictions would apply to nonmilitary assistance programs that help with development, health, and humanitarian work in other countries. Organizations receiving U.S. foreign aid would need to comply with these restrictions or lose their funding.

Transparency in Medicare Advantage Steering Act

The proposal would require Medicare Advantage insurance organizations to report detailed information about the agents and brokers who sell their plans, including data on compensation, complaints, and disciplinary actions. This increased transparency would help Medicare officials and consumers better understand who is selling these plans and whether there are any problems with how they operate. The change affects insurance companies offering Medicare Advantage coverage, the brokers and agents who sell these plans, and the millions of seniors enrolled in them.

PASTEUR Act of 2026

The government would create a new program to help develop new antibiotics and other antimicrobial drugs that can fight the most dangerous and hard-to-treat infections, including bacteria that have become resistant to existing medicines.

The goal is to speed up the creation of new drugs to combat serious infections that pose major public health threats.

Small Farm Conservation Act

The proposal would create a special program within the Agriculture Department's environmental incentives initiative specifically designed to help small farms adopt practices that protect soil, water, and wildlife. Small farmers would receive financial assistance and technical support to implement conservation improvements on their land, making it easier for them to participate in environmental programs that might otherwise be too complex or costly. This targeted approach aims to give smaller agricultural operations better access to funding and guidance that larger farms already use.

PUPIL Act

The federal government would conduct a comprehensive study on paraprofessionals and education support staff—workers like teacher's aides, counselors, and school nurses—to examine their roles, working conditions, and impact on student outcomes. The study would help policymakers understand how these workers contribute to schools and what challenges they face in their jobs. This research could inform future decisions about funding, training, and support for these education workers.

Improving Personal Risk Assessments to Prevent Suicide Act

The Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs would be required to study and report on how military sexual trauma and domestic violence contribute to suicide and suicidal thoughts among active-duty service members and veterans. The agencies would then brief Congress on their findings to help identify ways to better support and protect those affected by these traumatic experiences. This affects military personnel, veterans, and the agencies responsible for their mental health and safety.

Farmers’ Market Local Revitalization Act of 2026

The bill would increase federal funding and support for farmers' markets and nutrition programs that help low-income people buy fresh produce from local farmers. By expanding these programs, the legislation aims to make healthy food more accessible to communities while helping small farmers increase their sales and income. The changes would affect farmers, shoppers on limited budgets, and rural communities looking to strengthen their local food systems.

Pell Grant Preservation and Expansion Act of 2026

The proposal would make changes to how the federal government awards Pell Grants, which are financial aid payments that help low-income students pay for college tuition and expenses. The specific reforms aim to improve how the grant program is structured and operates, though the exact details would be determined as the bill moves through the committees reviewing it. Students from families with limited income would be the primary group affected by any changes to this major source of college funding.

Tristan's Law

The bill would establish new safety rules for ice cream trucks and other frozen dessert vehicles to protect children who buy food from them.

College students and their families would be the primary people affected by any changes made to this aid program.

Indigenous Students Excel through Parity Act of 2026

The federal government would update how it distributes funding to schools serving Native American students, aiming to make the allocation process fairer and more equitable across tribal communities. This affects Native American families, students, and schools on or near reservations that rely on federal education funding. The changes would help ensure schools have adequate resources to provide quality education to their students.

CHILE Act of 2026

The bill would create a system to help farmers who grow specialty crops like fruits, vegetables, and nuts when they face emergencies such as natural disasters or disease outbreaks. It would establish rules for how the federal government provides financial assistance to these farmers when their crops are damaged or destroyed. Specialty crop farmers would benefit from having a clearer, more predictable way to get emergency help compared to the current system.

The measure is currently under review by the Senate's Rules and Administration Committee.

American Rescuers of the Holocaust Congressional Gold Medal Act of 2026

The government would award a Congressional Gold Medal to recognize Americans who risked their lives to rescue and protect Jews and other refugees fleeing Nazi persecution during the Holocaust.

To amend title 38, United States Code, to eliminate the cap on the number of waivers to certain pay limitations that the Secretary of Veterans Affairs may issue for critical health care personnel of the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The Department of Veterans Affairs currently has a limit on how many exceptions it can make to pay rules for hard-to-fill medical jobs. This bill would remove that cap, allowing the VA to offer higher salaries to doctors, nurses, and other critical healthcare workers without being restricted by a specific number of exceptions. This change would help the VA compete with private hospitals and clinics to recruit and keep experienced medical staff.

SAFE KIDS Act

AI companies would be required to build safety features into their systems to protect children, offer parental controls, and undergo independent audits to verify these protections work.

The change affects Medicare Advantage insurers and the seniors enrolled in their plans.

Remote Waste Storage Act

The proposal would modify federal waste disposal rules to allow communities in remote areas to store certain solid waste on-site rather than requiring it to be transported elsewhere for disposal.

A bill to direct the Secretary of Agriculture to consider certain acreage not planted due to a lack of irrigation water to be eligible for prevented planting payments, and for other purposes.

Farmers who cannot plant crops because they don't have enough water for irrigation would become eligible for government payments that normally go to farmers whose crops are prevented from being planted by weather or other disasters. This would help agricultural producers in water-scarce regions recover some of their lost income when drought or water shortages force them to leave fields unplanted. The bill directs the Department of Agriculture to treat lack of irrigation water the same way it treats other prevented planting situations.

REAL Butter Act

The proposal would require lab-created butter products to be clearly labeled so consumers know they weren't made from traditional dairy sources, helping people make informed choices at the grocery store.

PROTECT USA Act of 2026

This bill would prevent U.S. companies considered vital to national interests—such as those in defense, energy, or technology—from having to follow foreign environmental and labor reporting rules, particularly the European Union's Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. The measure aims to protect American businesses from what supporters view as burdensome foreign regulations that could disadvantage them compared to competitors. Companies affected would include those in critical industries, though the bill would need to define which businesses qualify as "integral to national interests."

Summer for All Act

The federal government would provide grants to states and local organizations to expand summer programs and enrichment activities for students, helping them stay engaged in learning during school breaks and reducing summer learning loss. Schools and community organizations would use this funding to offer academic instruction, tutoring, sports, arts, and other activities that keep kids productive over the summer months. Students from low-income families would particularly benefit from having access to free or affordable summer programs that might otherwise be unavailable to them.

TAAP Act

The bill would extend and renew a program that studies shared underground water sources between the United States and Mexico, helping both countries better understand and manage these critical water resources.

AWARE Act

I don't have enough information to write an accurate summary. The bill title "AWARE Act" and referral to the Education and Workforce Committee suggest it relates to workforce or education issues, but without knowing the specific subjects or provisions of the bill, I cannot provide a factual description of what it would actually do or who it affects. Could you provide the bill's subjects or key provisions?

Stephen Wira ABLE Act

The proposal would increase the amount of money that people with disabilities can save in ABLE accounts without losing their Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, which provide cash assistance to low-income individuals with disabilities. Currently, SSI recipients must keep their savings below a certain limit or risk losing their benefits, but this change would raise that limit to allow them to build up more financial security. The adjustment would help disabled workers and their families better prepare for future expenses while maintaining their government assistance.

SCALE Act of 2026

The proposal would create new state-run programs to help farmers improve soil quality and create better habitats for wildlife on their land.

This would affect agricultural communities and conservation efforts across the country.

Diversity Jurisdiction Inflation Adjustment Act

The federal court system uses dollar amounts to decide which cases they can hear, and these thresholds haven't been updated in decades despite inflation making money worth less over time. This bill would increase those dollar thresholds to reflect current economic conditions, meaning more cases would qualify for federal court jurisdiction. The change would affect businesses, individuals, and the courts by adjusting which disputes can be heard in federal versus state courts based on the amount of money involved.

Small Business and Consumer Credit Act of 2026

The proposal would change tax rules for banks and other financial institutions that experience significant losses, allowing them to carry those losses backward and forward in specific ways to reduce their tax bills.

The measure is currently under review by the House committee responsible for tax policy.

Farming Opportunities Training and Outreach Grant Program Reauthorization Act of 2026

The bill would expand and improve federal assistance programs for farmers and ranchers who face discrimination or economic disadvantages, as well as for veterans who want to start or continue farming operations.

The designation encourages people, organizations, and government agencies to recognize and educate the public about the dangers and economic impacts of illicit trade. This is a symbolic measure with no binding legal requirements, but it signals congressional support for efforts to combat illegal commerce.

To require the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection to link together applications of family members throughout the NEXUS application process, and for other purposes.

The proposal would require U.S. Customs and Border Protection to connect family members' applications together when they apply for NEXUS, a trusted traveler program that speeds up border crossings for pre-approved travelers.

The bill focuses on building a skilled labor force while addressing potential job displacement caused by AI advancement.

American Food Supply Chain Resiliency Act

The bill would make permanent a federal program that helps communities build stronger local food systems and create regional hubs where farmers and food producers can connect with buyers and consumers. This would support farmers, food businesses, and communities by providing funding and infrastructure to reduce dependence on long-distance food supply chains and create more resilient local markets. The measure is currently being reviewed by the Senate Agriculture Committee.

Paraquat Prevention Act

The government would ban the pesticide paraquat from being used or sold in the United States, removing all current approvals for this weedkiller. This would affect farmers, agricultural companies, and landscapers who currently use paraquat on crops and other land, forcing them to switch to alternative pesticides. The ban aims to address health and safety concerns associated with the chemical.

COMPASS Act

Military members who homeschool their children would receive certain legal protections and relief under this proposal, similar to protections already available to service members in other areas of life. The changes would help ensure that military families aren't penalized or face unnecessary legal complications when they choose homeschooling as an educational option for their dependents. The bill is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs.

SNAP Tribal Food Sovereignty Act of 2026

This bill would allow the U.S. Department of Agriculture to sign contracts directly with Native American tribes and tribal organizations to run food assistance programs in their communities, rather than having the federal government manage these programs. Currently, tribes have limited ability to operate their own nutrition assistance programs, so this change would give them more control over how food aid is delivered to their members. The bill affects Native American tribes, tribal governments, and low-income Native Americans who rely on food assistance programs.

Declaration of Independence Reaffirmation Act of 2026

Declaration of Independence Reaffirmation Act of 2026 This bill reaffirms and readopts the Declaration of Independence as an organic law of the United States and as the enduring charter of American independence, national sovereignty, natural rights, equal citizenship, and government by consent.

The findings would help policymakers understand whether technology partnerships are a useful tool for expanding banking options in communities.

Enhancing Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Through Campus Planning Act

Colleges and universities would be required to develop detailed mental health and suicide prevention plans that address student needs, train staff to recognize warning signs, and establish clear procedures for helping students in crisis. The bill aims to reduce suicide rates among college students by ensuring schools have comprehensive strategies in place, affecting both students seeking mental health support and the institutions responsible for their wellbeing.

Affordable Homes for Veterans Act of 2026

The bill would establish clear deadlines for how quickly the Department of Veterans Affairs must process applications when veterans want to take over loans that the VA has guaranteed. It would also require the VA's Inspector General to check whether loan companies are following these processing timelines. This affects veterans who are trying to assume VA-guaranteed loans and want faster, more predictable processing of their applications.

Air Carrier Access Amendments Act

This bill would give airline passengers with disabilities stronger legal protections and remedies if they face discrimination while flying, such as being denied boarding or mistreated by airline staff.

Prioritizing American Talent Act

The legislation would restrict how much money the government can spend on processing and issuing work permits for foreign students studying in the United States. This would affect international students who want to work while in school or after graduation, as well as colleges and universities that rely on foreign student enrollment and the companies that hire them for internships or jobs.

American A.I. Sovereign Wealth Fund Act

The bill would create a new tax on artificial intelligence systems that are considered systemically important—meaning they're so large or widely used that problems with them could harm the broader economy. Companies developing or operating these major AI systems would have to pay this excise tax, which could affect tech companies, AI developers, and potentially increase costs for AI services. The proposal is currently under review by the Senate Finance Committee.

SNAP Staffing Flexibility Act of 2026

The proposal would allow states to use a mix of government employees and private contractors to run the food stamp program (SNAP), rather than requiring all workers to be state employees. This change would give states more flexibility in how they staff their nutrition assistance offices, potentially allowing them to hire temporary or contract workers under certain conditions. The bill affects both state governments managing the program and people who apply for or receive food assistance benefits.

Wildland Firefighter Hazard Pay Correction Act

Federal employees who conduct prescribed burns—controlled fires used to prevent dangerous wildfires—would receive extra hazard pay for this risky work. The change would update federal pay rules to recognize the dangers these workers face while protecting forests and communities from uncontrolled fires.

Worst of the Worst Act

The proposal is currently under review by the House Judiciary Committee.

Export Control Enforcement and Enhancement Act

The government maintains a list of foreign companies and organizations that face trade restrictions due to national security or foreign policy concerns. This bill would speed up the process for reviewing and deciding whether to add, remove, or change entities on that list, potentially allowing faster responses to emerging threats or corrections to listings. The changes would affect businesses involved in international trade and the government agencies responsible for managing export controls.

Protect Our Polls Act

The bill would require Congress to explicitly approve any deployment of military troops or armed personnel at polling places, closing a loophole in federal law that currently allows such deployments without specific congressional authorization. This would affect election security decisions and military operations during federal elections, ensuring that voters and election officials have legislative oversight of armed presence at voting locations. The measure aims to prevent unauthorized military involvement in elections while maintaining Congress's constitutional power over such deployments.

Don't Settle for Corruption Act

The federal government currently settles certain legal disputes by paying out compromise settlements, and this bill would change how those payments are processed and approved. The changes would affect how quickly settlement money reaches people who have won cases against the government and could streamline the bureaucratic procedures involved in distributing these funds. The bill is designed to make the settlement payment system more efficient for both the government and the individuals receiving compensation.

GPO Modernization Act of 2026

The Government Publishing Office, which prints and distributes official government documents, would receive updated powers and responsibilities to better handle its work. The specific changes aren't detailed in the available information, but they could affect how federal agencies publish documents, how citizens access government records, and the operations of the printing office itself.

Advanced Transmission Technology to Reduce Rates Act

The legislation would support the development and deployment of advanced electrical transmission technologies designed to modernize the power grid and potentially lower electricity costs for consumers.

This bill would authorize funding and set rules for inspecting and maintaining natural gas and oil pipelines across the country to prevent leaks and accidents. It affects pipeline companies, workers in the energy industry, and communities living near pipelines by establishing safety standards and inspection requirements. The bill has been sent to two congressional committees to review the parts that relate to their areas of responsibility.

Voter ID Act

Voter ID Act This bill establishes certain photo identification requirements for voting in federal elections. Specifically, the bill prohibits a state or local election official from providing a ballot for a federal election to an individual who does not present valid physical photo identification. Next, the bill outlines the availability of provisional ballots and the requirements for counting those ballots. An individual who does not present a valid photo identification must be permitted to cast a provisional ballot. However, an election official may not determine that the individual is eligible under state law to vote in the election unless, not later than three days after casting the provisional ballot, the individual presents (1) the identification required, or (2) an affidavit attesting that the individual does not possess the identification because of a religious objection to being photographed. An election official may not allow for voting methods other than in-person voting unless the individual (1) submits the ballot with a copy of their photo identification or the last four digits of their Social Security number with an affidavit attesting that the individual is unable to obtain a copy of a valid photo identification after making reasonable efforts to obtain a copy, or (2) includes a notarization attesting that the individual has personally marked the ballot. This prohibition shall not apply to overseas military voters and certain disabled or elderly voters. The Election Assistance Commission must make grants to states and tribal governments that provide eligible individuals with free valid photo identification.

Protect Local Funding Act

The bill would block the federal government from finalizing, putting into effect, or enforcing a proposed rule that deals with how federal money is distributed to states, cities, organizations, and other recipients. This would prevent any new requirements or restrictions on how federal financial assistance is used until Congress takes further action. The measure affects states, local governments, nonprofits, and any organizations that receive federal funding.

Public Access Protection Act

When the Army Corps of Engineers plans major water projects like dams or waterway improvements, they would have to create a plan ensuring that public recreational areas—like fishing spots, boat launches, and parks—remain accessible at the same level as before the project. This requirement would apply to all final recommendations for such projects and would protect outdoor recreation opportunities for the general public who use these areas. The bill affects the Corps of Engineers, local communities that depend on public water access, and recreational users.

Grocery Affordability Act

Grocery stores operating in areas without adequate food access would receive a tax credit to help offset their operating costs, making it more financially feasible for them to serve communities that otherwise lack nearby places to buy fresh food. The credit would reduce the amount of taxes these stores owe to the federal government, potentially encouraging more grocery retailers to open or stay in underserved neighborhoods. This would primarily benefit low-income communities and rural areas where residents currently struggle to find affordable fresh groceries nearby.

Honor Their Service Act

The proposal would allow the Department of Veterans Affairs to give money to organizations that help noncitizen veterans navigate immigration law and processes. This would assist veterans who are not U.S. citizens in understanding their legal options related to immigration status, citizenship, and related matters. The bill is currently under review by the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs.

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that parents should be provided clear, accurate, and useful information about the content of video programming so they can make informed decisions for their children.

The House is expressing its view that parents need better, clearer information about what's in TV shows and video content so they can decide what their children should watch. This is a non-binding statement of support rather than a law that would require specific changes, but it signals that Congress believes the entertainment industry should provide more transparent and useful content descriptions to families.

AI Security and Innovation Act

The proposal would create a new government-funded research center dedicated to artificial intelligence to help keep the United States competitive in developing and testing AI technology. This center would focus on advancing AI research and making sure American scientists and companies stay at the forefront of this rapidly growing field. The bill is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.

To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to exempt qualified religious institutions from the excise tax on investment income.

Religious organizations like churches, synagogues, and mosques would be excused from paying a federal tax on their investment income, such as money earned from stocks, bonds, or endowments. Currently, certain tax-exempt organizations have to pay a small excise tax on their net investment earnings, but this change would remove that requirement for qualified religious institutions. The proposal would reduce the tax burden on these organizations, allowing them to keep more of their investment earnings for their religious and charitable activities.

Air Carrier Access Amendments Act of 2026

The bill would give airline passengers with disabilities stronger legal protections and remedies if they face discrimination while flying, such as being denied boarding or mistreated by airline staff. It would allow passengers to seek compensation and other relief through a clearer process when airlines violate their rights. The changes aim to ensure that people with disabilities can travel by air with the same access and respect as other passengers.

EDUCATE Act of 2026

The proposal would allow universities that historically served African American students to conduct research on growing marijuana for medical and scientific purposes. This would give these institutions the same agricultural research opportunities that other universities have, potentially creating jobs and economic benefits at these schools while expanding knowledge about cannabis cultivation and uses.

PFAS Alternatives Act

The bill would speed up development of new protective clothing for firefighters that doesn't contain PFAS, which are chemicals that can build up in the body and potentially cause health problems. By funding research and removing regulatory barriers, the legislation aims to help manufacturers create safer turnout gear (the heavy protective suits firefighters wear) while maintaining the same level of fire protection. This would benefit firefighters who are exposed to these chemicals through their current gear and the companies working to develop better alternatives.

Stop Lawmakers From Predicting Act

The proposal would restrict members of Congress from making public predictions or statements about the outcomes of elections, court cases, or other major events that could influence public opinion or markets. Members who violate these restrictions could face disciplinary action or fines.

The designation aims to promote child safety by raising awareness about the importance of securely storing firearms to prevent accidental injuries and deaths among young people. The resolution supports public health education efforts targeting families and gun owners across the country.

AI Flaw Reporting and Security Enhancement Act

The legislation would require companies that develop artificial intelligence systems to report security flaws and vulnerabilities to the government so they can be fixed before bad actors exploit them. It aims to protect the public by ensuring AI developers take responsibility for identifying and disclosing problems in their systems, similar to how software companies report security issues in other technology. The bill would affect AI companies and developers while potentially benefiting consumers and businesses that rely on AI systems.

Earned Wage Access Consumer Protection Act

This legislation would set rules for companies that let workers access their paychecks before the regular payday, requiring them to disclose fees clearly and limiting how much they can charge. The law would protect employees from predatory practices by these "earned wage access" services while allowing workers to get their money faster if they need it. It affects both workers looking for early access to their earnings and the financial companies offering these services.

AI-Ready Federal Data Guidelines Act

The federal government would establish new standards and guidelines to make its data more useful for artificial intelligence research and development. This would help companies, researchers, and government agencies more easily access and use government-held information to train and improve AI systems. The changes would affect federal agencies, tech companies, AI researchers, and potentially the public by making government data more accessible for AI applications.

Affordable Innovation for the Grid Act

The legislation would help make new energy technologies and grid modernization projects more affordable by reducing regulatory barriers and streamlining the approval process for utilities and energy companies. This could lower costs for consumers by making it cheaper for power companies to upgrade their electrical systems and adopt cleaner energy sources. The changes would primarily affect utility companies, energy developers, and the households and businesses that depend on reliable electricity.

A bill to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 86-014 Farrington Highway in Waianae, Hawaii, as the "United States Representative Colleen Hanabusa Post Office Building".

This bill designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 86-014 Farrington Highway in Waianae, Hawaii, as the "United States Representative Colleen Hanabusa Post Office Building".

Expanding Access to Credit through Consumer-Permissioned Data Act

The proposal would require mortgage lenders to consider additional types of credit information beyond traditional credit scores when deciding whether to approve home loans, potentially allowing borrowers with limited credit histories to qualify more easily. This could help people who don't have traditional credit records—such as those who pay rent, utilities, or other bills on time but don't use credit cards—get mortgages they might otherwise be denied. The change would affect both lenders and borrowers seeking home loans.

No Robot Bosses Act

Employers would be banned from using automated decision systems—like algorithms or AI software—to make certain workplace decisions about hiring, firing, scheduling, or pay without human review and worker notification. Workers would have the right to know when these automated systems are being used to evaluate them and could request a human to reconsider any decision made by the system. The law aims to prevent unfair or discriminatory outcomes that can result when companies rely too heavily on automated tools to manage their workforce.

Ratepayer Protection Act

The legislation would establish new protections for utility customers by limiting how much electric and gas companies can raise rates and requiring them to justify rate increases to regulators before implementation. This would affect millions of households and businesses that rely on electricity and natural gas, potentially keeping their utility bills more stable and predictable. The bill aims to prevent utility companies from passing unexpected cost increases directly to consumers without public review.

Medicaid Equal Standards Act

The proposal would require states to apply the same eligibility rules and coverage standards across their Medicaid programs, preventing different people from receiving different benefits based on which state they live in. This would affect low-income individuals and families who rely on Medicaid for health insurance, as well as state governments that administer these programs. The goal is to create more consistency in what medical services Medicaid covers nationwide.

Ending Stolen SNAP Benefits Act of 2026

This bill would allow people who receive food assistance benefits to get their money back if it's stolen through identity theft or card skimming (when criminals illegally copy card information). Currently, households that lose their benefits this way may have difficulty getting them replaced, so this change would make it easier for low-income families to recover stolen food assistance funds.

Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services of the Department of Health and Human Services relating to "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, HHS Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2027; and Basic Health Program".

Congress would reject a new rule from Medicare and Medicaid that sets health insurance payment amounts and benefits for 2027 under the Affordable Care Act, preventing the rule from taking effect. This would affect millions of Americans who get health insurance through the ACA marketplace or state basic health programs, as well as insurance companies and healthcare providers who rely on these payment guidelines. The measure is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

CHILD Labor Act

The proposal would increase penalties and enforcement actions against companies that violate child labor laws, making it harder for businesses to employ minors illegally or in dangerous conditions. It would affect employers across industries, workers who investigate labor violations, and families whose children might be at risk of exploitation. The bill aims to strengthen existing protections by giving government agencies stronger tools to crack down on child labor violations.

Data Infrastructure Energy Measurement and Standards Act

The federal government would require the National Institute of Standards and Technology to create guidelines for how data centers measure their energy consumption and to research ways to better predict future energy demands in the tech industry. This would help data centers operate more efficiently and give energy planners better information about how much power will be needed in the future. The effort primarily affects large technology companies that operate data centers and energy utilities that supply power to them.

Improving the Lives of the American People Act

I cannot provide an accurate summary because the bill's title and subjects are too vague to determine what specific policies it would actually implement. The referral to nearly every major congressional committee suggests this is either a broad omnibus bill covering many different policy areas, or a placeholder bill awaiting specific language to be added. Without knowing the actual provisions, I cannot explain in concrete terms what this bill would do or who it would affect.

SEC Reform and Restructuring Act

The legislation would update federal rules governing how companies sell stocks and bonds to investors, likely making it easier or harder for certain businesses to raise money depending on the specific changes included. It could affect everyday people who invest through retirement accounts or brokerage firms, as well as companies of various sizes seeking to access capital markets. The bill has been sent to the House Committee on Financial Services for review and debate.

Advancing American Quantum Leadership Act of 2026

The bill would expand the Export-Import Bank's China program to include quantum information science and technology as priority areas for U.S. exports and financing. This would allow American companies working in quantum technology to access government-backed financing and support when competing internationally, particularly against Chinese competitors. The change aims to help U.S. businesses maintain technological advantages in this emerging and strategically important field.

Easy Access to Mail Act

The proposal would set new rules for how the U.S. Postal Service handles mail delivery to apartment buildings and residential complexes, requiring clearer procedures for when mail gets delivered to centralized mailboxes instead of individual unit doors. This affects both postal workers and residents who receive mail, potentially changing how and where people pick up their packages and letters depending on their housing type. The bill is currently under review by a House committee.

Outdoor Recreational Outfitting and Guiding Act

The proposal would allow outdoor recreation companies to pay workers in guiding and outfitting services less than the federal minimum wage and require them to work longer hours without overtime pay. This exemption would apply to employees like hiking guides, rafting instructors, and hunting outfitters who work in outdoor recreational activities. The change would affect thousands of outdoor industry workers across the country who could see their wages and hour protections reduced.

Hydropower Licensing Affordability Act

The proposal would update the rules for how the federal government approves and licenses hydropower dams and facilities, making the permitting process faster and more efficient. This would affect hydropower companies, environmental groups, and communities near dams by streamlining the approval timeline and potentially changing how environmental impacts are reviewed. The changes aim to encourage investment in hydropower energy while balancing concerns about environmental protection and public input.

Find Our Families Act of 2026

The government would be required to create and maintain a searchable online system where the public can find information about people being held in immigration detention facilities. This would allow families and advocates to locate detainees and access basic information about where they are being held and their status. The system would make detention records more transparent and accessible to the general public.

TOURS Act

The bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to publish an annual report on veteran suicide prevention efforts and conduct a study examining whether chaplain services at the VA help reduce suicide risk among veterans. This would formalize suicide prevention reporting and help identify which VA support services are most effective at helping veterans in crisis. The changes would affect veterans seeking mental health support and the VA staff responsible for tracking and improving these services.

USDA Field Office Stability Act

The proposal would prevent the U.S. Department of Agriculture from closing or moving certain offices without approval from Congress. This would affect USDA employees in those offices and farmers or rural communities that rely on local USDA services for programs like crop support, conservation assistance, and rural development loans. The bill is currently being reviewed by the House Agriculture Committee.

POWER ON Act of 2026

The bill would extend and strengthen a federal program designed to prevent power outages and make the electrical grid more reliable and resistant to damage from weather, accidents, or other disruptions. This affects electricity customers across the country, utility companies that operate the grid, and communities that depend on stable power for hospitals, schools, and businesses. The legislation would likely fund improvements to electrical infrastructure and support efforts to modernize the aging power system.

A resolution expressing support for the designation of June 19, 2026, as "World Sickle Cell Awareness Day" in order to increase public awareness across the United States and global community about sickle cell disease and the continued need for empirical research, early detection screenings, novel effective treatments leading to a cure, and preventative care programs with respect to complications from sickle cell anemia and conditions relating to sickle cell disease.

This resolution calls for the United States to officially recognize June 19, 2026, as "World Sickle Cell Awareness Day" to help educate the public about sickle cell disease, a serious inherited blood disorder that primarily affects Black Americans and people of African descent. The resolution emphasizes the importance of funding research to find better treatments and cures, improving early detection through screening programs, and developing ways to prevent complications from the disease. By designating this day, Congress aims to draw attention to the ongoing health challenges faced by sickle cell patients and encourage greater investment in finding solutions.

SABER Act of 2026

The government would be allowed to use money from the Ukraine Support Fund to help Ukraine buy military equipment and defense services needed to fight back against Russian aggression and rebuild after the conflict. This gives Ukraine more flexibility in how it uses American financial support to strengthen its military and recover from the damage caused by the war. The change would affect how U.S. aid to Ukraine is spent, potentially allowing more of it to go directly toward weapons and military supplies rather than being restricted to other uses.

GHOSTRUCK Act

Truck drivers and their employers would be allowed to make corrections or add notes to electronic logging device records (the digital systems that track driving hours) as long as the person making the change is physically in North America and the driver approves the edit. This change would make it easier for drivers and companies to fix mistakes or clarify information in these records while maintaining oversight through driver approval. The rule currently restricts who can modify these records, so this would loosen those restrictions.

STOP Payments Fraud Act of 2026

Banks would be allowed to hold onto deposits longer when they suspect fraud involving checks or wire transfers, giving them more time to investigate before making the money available to customers. This change would modify existing rules that normally require banks to make deposited funds available quickly, creating an exception when there are signs of fraudulent activity. The measure affects both banks and their customers by balancing the need for fraud protection against the expectation of quick access to deposited money.

Fresh Produce for Families Act of 2026

The bill would let food banks and emergency food programs buy fresh fruits and vegetables through the same ordering system that the Department of Defense uses to purchase produce, potentially making it easier and cheaper to get healthy food to people in need. This change would apply to the emergency food assistance program that helps distribute food to low-income individuals and families across the country. By using the military's existing supply chain, the program could streamline how it obtains fresh produce for distribution.

A resolution commemorating June 19, 2026, as "Juneteenth National Independence Day" in recognition of June 19, 1865, the date on which news of the end of slavery reached the slaves in the Southwestern States.

This resolution officially recognizes June 19, 2026, as "Juneteenth National Independence Day" to commemorate June 19, 1865, when enslaved people in the Southwest finally learned they were free. The resolution honors the historical significance of this date, which marks when the last enslaved African Americans received news of emancipation, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. This recognition celebrates an important milestone in American history for all citizens.

HEART Act of 2026

The federal government would create a new office within the Department of Health and Human Services to help communities set up mental health services for people who have experienced trauma from immigration enforcement actions by federal agencies. This office would work to connect people dealing with fear and anxiety related to immigration enforcement with counseling and other mental health support. The program would primarily affect immigrants and their families who have been affected by federal immigration enforcement activities.

Reaffirming the importance of the United States promoting the safety, health, and well-being of refugees and displaced persons in the United States and around the world.

This resolution expresses Congress's support for protecting refugees and displaced people both within the United States and globally by promoting their safety, health, and well-being. The measure has been sent to the Foreign Affairs and Judiciary committees for review, though it does not create new laws or programs but rather states the importance of these humanitarian goals.

Stop Spying Bosses Act

Employers would be prohibited from secretly monitoring workers' personal communications, location, and biometric data, or would have to clearly disclose when they're collecting such information. The bill aims to protect employee privacy by limiting how much surveillance companies can conduct in the workplace without workers knowing about it. Workers and employers would both be affected, with companies potentially facing restrictions on tracking tools and monitoring practices.

District of Columbia Courts Judicial Vacancy Reduction Act

The proposal would change how judges are selected for Washington D.C.'s courts by allowing them to be appointed automatically without needing approval from the U.S. Senate, which currently has a say in the process. This would give D.C. more control over its own judicial system, though it represents a significant shift in how federal oversight of the district's courts currently works. The change would primarily affect D.C. residents and the local court system that handles their cases.

A resolution recognizing and honoring Cambodian veterans of the Khmer National Armed Forces for their sacrifices, their support of the Armed Forces of the United States, and their defense of freedom in Southeast Asia.

This resolution honors Cambodian soldiers who fought with the U.S. military during the Cold War era in Southeast Asia, recognizing their contributions to defending freedom in the region. The measure acknowledges the sacrifices these veterans made while supporting American armed forces operations in Cambodia. It has been sent to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for consideration.

SLASH Prices Act

Companies that use computer algorithms to charge different prices to different customers would have to tell people when this is happening. The requirement would apply to online retailers, subscription services, and other businesses that adjust prices based on personal information like browsing history or location. This would help consumers understand why they might see different prices than their neighbors for the same product or service.

FAST Repairs for Wheelchairs Act

This bill would speed up and improve how Medicare covers wheelchair repairs, making it easier and faster for people with disabilities to get their wheelchairs fixed when they break down. Currently, the repair process can take a long time and involve complicated paperwork, so this legislation aims to streamline those procedures so seniors and disabled individuals don't have to wait as long without their mobility devices. The bill has been sent to two congressional committees to review the healthcare and budget aspects of the proposal.

Eastern Frontier Defense Infrastructure Readiness Act

The federal government would be required to assess and report on the current state of infrastructure along the eastern border and frontier regions, evaluating their readiness to support national security, trade, and emergency response needs. This report would help Congress and policymakers understand what improvements might be necessary for roads, ports, bridges, and other critical infrastructure in these areas. The House Committee on Foreign Affairs would review the proposal.

Voting Systems Protection Act

The proposal would change federal election laws to add new protections and requirements for voting machines and ballot systems to prevent tampering and ensure accurate vote counting. It affects election officials, poll workers, and voters by potentially requiring upgrades to voting equipment and new security procedures at polling places. The bill is currently being reviewed by House committees to determine which parts fall under their authority.

AI-Related Job Impacts Clarity Act

The government would require companies and agencies to report on how artificial intelligence is affecting jobs, including which positions are being eliminated, created, or changed. These reports would help lawmakers and workers understand the real-world impact of AI technology on employment across different industries. The information gathered would inform future decisions about worker training programs, job protections, and economic policies.

Expressing support for a "World Sickle Cell Awareness Day" in order to increase public awareness across the United States and global community about sickle cell disease and the continued need for empirical research, early detection screenings, novel effective treatments leading to a cure, and preventative care programs with respect to complications from sickle cell anemia and conditions relating to sickle cell disease.

This resolution calls for the United States to officially recognize and support a "World Sickle Cell Awareness Day" to help educate the public about sickle cell disease and the importance of research, early screening, and treatment options. The measure aims to increase attention to sickle cell disease both in America and worldwide, with a focus on finding better treatments and preventing complications from the condition. It affects patients with sickle cell disease, researchers, healthcare providers, and public health organizations working to combat this inherited blood disorder.

It also calls for increased music education opportunities for Black students in schools and designates June 2026 as a national month to celebrate Black musical contributions and heritage.

District of Columbia Courts Judicial Vacancy Reduction Act

This bill would change how judges are appointed to Washington D.C.'s courts by allowing them to be automatically appointed without needing approval from the U.S. Senate. Currently, the Senate must review and approve judicial appointments in D.C., but this change would streamline the process and give D.C. more control over its own court system. The bill affects D.C. residents and anyone involved in cases in D.C. courts, as well as the federal government's role in overseeing the district's judicial branch.

PEARL Act

I don't have enough information to write an accurate summary. The bill title "PEARL Act" and its referral to the House Committee on Homeland Security suggest it relates to security or emergency management, but without knowing the specific subjects or provisions of the bill, I cannot provide a factual explanation of what it would actually do or who it would affect. To write an accurate summary, I would need the bill's actual text or a description of its key provisions.

Better Care, Better Cost Act

States would be required to consider how well managed care companies perform when deciding which ones get to serve Medicaid patients, rather than assigning patients based solely on other factors. This could reward insurance companies that provide better care and customer service while potentially penalizing those with poor track records. The change would affect millions of low-income Americans who rely on Medicaid for health coverage.

Protecting America’s Herds Act

The federal government would create a grant program to help states and organizations prepare for and respond to New World screwworm infestations, which are parasitic pests that can devastate livestock and wildlife populations. Farmers, ranchers, veterinarians, and agricultural agencies would be eligible to receive funding for prevention efforts, emergency response, and research to control these harmful insects. The program aims to protect the nation's livestock industry and prevent economic losses from screwworm outbreaks.

Save Our Shrimpers Act

Save Our Shrimpers Act This bill requires the Department of the Treasury to instruct U.S. leadership of international financial institutions (e.g., the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank) to oppose providing financial assistance for any project to support shrimp farming, shrimp processing, or the export of shrimp in a borrowing country. Treasury may waive this requirement with respect to a project upon notifying Congress that the waiver is in the national interest of the United States. The requirement expires seven years after the enactment of this bill.

A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that under no circumstances should Samuel Bankman-Fried receive executive clemency, including a pardon or commutation, and affirming the Senate's commitment to the rule of law and integrity of the United States financial system.

The Senate is expressing its official position that Samuel Bankman-Fried, the founder of the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX who was convicted of fraud, should not receive a presidential pardon or sentence reduction. The resolution affirms the Senate's commitment to upholding the rule of law and protecting the integrity of the U.S. financial system from fraud and misconduct.

POWER Up Act

Large industrial facilities that use a lot of electricity would be able to connect directly to the national power grid under federal oversight rather than going through local utility companies, and this bill clarifies that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has the authority to approve these direct connections. This could affect major manufacturers, data centers, and other large energy consumers that want to bypass traditional utility arrangements. The change would give these large facilities more options for how they get their power while establishing clear federal rules for managing these connections.

Tribal Conservation Priorities Inclusion Act

The proposal would expand a federal farm conservation program to give Indian Tribes the same access and priority as states and other groups when addressing environmental concerns on their lands, such as soil health, water quality, and wildlife habitat. Currently, Tribes have limited ability to participate in certain conservation funding and planning decisions under existing farm law. This change would help Tribes better manage natural resources on tribal lands and compete for federal conservation resources.

A bill to require the Secretary of Homeland Security to designate Haiti for temporary protected status.

The Secretary of Homeland Security would be required to grant temporary protected status to Haiti, allowing Haitian nationals currently in the United States to legally live and work here without fear of deportation for a set period of time. This designation is typically used when a country experiences ongoing armed conflict, natural disaster, or other extraordinary conditions that make it unsafe for citizens to return home. Haitian immigrants and their families would be the primary beneficiaries of this protection.

National Strategy for Social Connection Act

The federal government would create a new Office of Social Connection Policy to develop and coordinate a national strategy aimed at reducing loneliness and strengthening community connections among Americans. This office would work across government agencies to identify programs and policies that promote social engagement and address the health impacts of social isolation. The effort would affect Americans of all ages by potentially influencing how federal programs support community building and mental health initiatives.

Saving the OOI Act of 2026

Saving the OOI Act of 2026 This bill prohibits the National Science Foundation (NSF) from using federal funds to decommission or descope Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) instruments until a thorough review of OOI is completed. OOI measures and observes ocean conditions using a series of in-water instruments that gather physical, chemical, geological, and biological data. On May 21, 2026, NSF announced that it would remove all in-water infrastructure from four of the five active OOI arrays. Under the bill, NSF must conduct a thorough review of OOI with engagement from the scientific and coastal communities before decommissioning or descoping specified OOI instruments. This includes OOI instruments anchored off of Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and North Carolina, as well as instruments anchored in the Irminger Sea. NSF is required to maintain full and consistent OOI operations, including monitoring in states where instruments have already been decommissioned, until the review is complete.

Manufactured Housing Lending Act

The government-sponsored mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would be required to create test programs that help people buy manufactured homes (mobile homes) by offering loans for both the home and the land it sits on together. Currently, these companies typically don't offer this type of combined financing, making it harder for manufactured home buyers to get affordable loans. The pilot programs would test whether offering these loans is practical and could expand homeownership options for people looking to buy manufactured homes.

Privately Insured Credit Unions Conversion Modernization Act

Credit unions that are privately insured (rather than federally insured) would gain more flexibility to convert to federal insurance and modernize their operations under updated rules. The changes would make it easier for these smaller financial institutions to transition their insurance status while maintaining their ability to serve their members. This affects credit union members and the institutions themselves, which compete with banks to provide financial services to their customers.

CHIPS Training in America Act of 2026

The federal government would create a grant program to fund education and training programs focused on semiconductor manufacturing and related industries. Schools, colleges, and workforce training organizations could apply for these grants to develop courses, equipment, and curricula that prepare students and workers for jobs in chip manufacturing and supporting fields. This would help address the shortage of skilled workers in the semiconductor industry, which is critical to technology, defense, and manufacturing sectors.

CHIP IN for Veterans Act of 2026

The Department of Veterans Affairs would be allowed to permanently accept donations of buildings, land, and construction services from individuals and organizations to help improve VA facilities, rather than having this ability expire as it currently does under a temporary pilot program. This would let the VA accept both physical donations and money specifically earmarked for maintenance projects and minor construction work without having to go through lengthy approval processes each time. Veterans and VA facilities would benefit from these donated resources, which could help expand or improve healthcare and services without requiring Congress to appropriate additional taxpayer funds.

Venezuela Democratic Transition Act

The federal government would develop a plan to help support democratic elections in Venezuela and would punish individuals involved in serious human rights abuses there through economic sanctions. These penalties would target people responsible for violations like torture, unlawful detention, or suppression of political freedoms. The measure aims to pressure the Venezuelan government to respect basic human rights and allow citizens to participate in free and fair elections.

A resolution congratulating the New York Knicks on winning the 2026 National Basketball Association Finals.

Congress is formally recognizing and congratulating the New York Knicks basketball team for winning the NBA championship in 2026. This resolution has no practical effect on laws or policies—it's simply an official statement of praise from the Senate for the team's athletic achievement. The resolution was approved unanimously by senators without any changes.

Home Equity Lending Integrity Act

The bill would expand consumer protection rules that currently apply to traditional home loans to also cover home equity investment loans, where companies buy a stake in a homeowner's future property value in exchange for cash. This change would require lenders offering these products to follow the same disclosure and lending standards as traditional mortgage lenders, giving homeowners more transparency about costs and terms. The measure affects both homeowners considering these alternative financing options and the companies that offer them.

A bill to authorize leases of up to 99 years for land held in trust for federally recognized Indian Tribes.

This bill authorizes any federally recognized Indian tribe to lease their land held in trust for a term of up to 99 years.

CHILD Labor Act

The bill would increase penalties and enforcement actions against companies that violate child labor laws, making it harder for businesses to employ minors in dangerous or illegal working conditions. It would give federal labor inspectors stronger tools to investigate violations and protect young workers from exploitation in industries like agriculture, manufacturing, and retail. The changes would affect employers across the country and aim to ensure children can focus on school and safe activities rather than dangerous work.

A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services of the Department of Health and Human Services relating to "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, HHS Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2027; and Basic Health Program".

Congress would reject a new rule from Medicare and Medicaid that sets health insurance payment amounts and benefits for 2027, preventing it from taking effect. The rule affects millions of Americans with health insurance through the Affordable Care Act and the Basic Health Program, as well as insurance companies and healthcare providers. If approved, this would block the government's planned changes to how much insurers get paid and what coverage they must offer next year.

Regional Export Promotion Act of 2026

The bill would make permanent and expand a program that helps the Export-Import Bank support small and medium-sized businesses in different regions of the country as they try to sell their products overseas. Currently this regional support program operates on a temporary basis, so the change would give it lasting authority and potentially allow it to do more to help local businesses compete in international markets. Small manufacturers and exporters in various states would be the main beneficiaries of this expanded assistance.

A resolution recognizing Father's Day and the role a father plays in the lives of children and adults.

This resolution honors Father's Day and acknowledges the important role fathers play in the lives of their children and families.

A resolution designating June as "National Annuity Awareness Month".

This resolution would officially recognize June as "National Annuity Awareness Month" to help educate the public about annuities, which are financial products that provide regular income payments. The designation aims to increase understanding among consumers, financial advisors, and the general public about how annuities work and their role in retirement planning. No new laws or regulations would be created; this is a symbolic measure to promote awareness of these investment products.

Addressing SILO Act of 2026

The federal government would provide grants and training to local aging agencies and community organizations to help reduce loneliness and social isolation among seniors and people with disabilities. These organizations would use the funding to create programs and services that help older adults and disabled individuals stay connected with their communities and other people. The bill aims to address a growing public health concern by giving local groups the resources they need to combat isolation.

A resolution designating May 1, 2026, as "United States Foreign Service Day" in recognition of the men and women who have served, or are presently serving, in the Foreign Service of the United States, and honoring the members of the Foreign Service who have given their lives in the line of duty.

The Senate has approved a resolution to officially recognize May 1, 2026, as "United States Foreign Service Day" to honor diplomats and other professionals who work for the U.S. government abroad. The day specifically celebrates both current and former Foreign Service members and remembers those who have died while serving their country overseas. This designation does not create any new laws or programs, but rather sets aside a day for the nation to acknowledge the contributions and sacrifices of these international representatives.

A resolution reaffirming the importance of the United States promoting the safety, health, and well-being of refugees and displaced persons in the United States and around the world.

This resolution expresses Congress's support for the United States helping refugees and displaced people both within the country and globally by promoting their safety, health, and well-being. The measure affirms a commitment to protecting vulnerable populations who have fled their homes due to conflict, persecution, or disaster, though it does not create new laws or programs. The resolution has been sent to the Foreign Relations Committee for consideration.

STOP Scams Against Seniors Act

The federal government would allow police departments and law enforcement agencies to use grant money they receive to create special task forces focused on protecting elderly people from abuse, fraud, and other crimes. These elder justice task forces would investigate crimes targeting seniors and help coordinate efforts between local police, prosecutors, and social services. The change would help communities dedicate more resources to protecting vulnerable older adults from exploitation and harm.

Honor Gold Star Families Act

The military currently pays a one-time cash payment called a death gratuity to families when a service member dies, and this bill would increase that payment amount and automatically adjust it each year to keep up with inflation. The change would help military families cope with the financial hardship of losing a loved one who served in the Armed Forces. This bill is currently under review by the Senate Armed Services Committee.

A resolution honoring the life of Kyle Busch.

Congress is recognizing Kyle Busch, a professional NASCAR driver, for his accomplishments and contributions to motorsports and his community. This resolution celebrates his career achievements and impact as a public figure in racing. The measure passed the Senate without any objections or changes.

Lifeline for First Responders Act

The federal government would create a grant program to provide funding to states and local organizations for mental health support, wellness programs, and suicide prevention services aimed at emergency medical technicians, paramedics, and other first responders. These grants would help pay for training, counseling, peer support networks, and other resources to address the high rates of stress, depression, and suicide among people in these professions. The program would affect emergency services agencies, hospitals, and the first responders themselves who often face traumatic situations on the job.

FIRE SMART Act of 2026

The EPA would be required to change how it manages state revolving funds, which are federal loan programs that help states and communities pay for drinking water infrastructure projects like pipes and treatment plants. These changes would likely make it easier or faster for local governments to access money to fix aging water systems and improve water quality for residents. The bill is currently under review by the Senate's environmental committee.

Hurricane Hunter Aircraft Recapitalization Act

The federal government would purchase new aircraft for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to use for studying weather patterns, atmospheric conditions, and conducting research missions. These planes would help scientists better understand and predict hurricanes, storms, and other weather events that affect Americans. The bill is currently being reviewed by Congress's Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee.

Blue Star Mothers Day Act

The proposal would officially recognize February 1st each year as "Blue Star Mothers Day," a national observance honoring mothers whose children are currently serving in the U.S. military. This designation would give these families a dedicated day for public recognition and appreciation of their sacrifice and service to the country. The change would be added to federal law but would not require any government spending or create new programs.

Land of the Free Act of 2026

This bill would remove a rule that allows the government to deport immigrants whose presence in the U.S. is believed to harm American foreign policy interests. The change would protect immigrants from being deported based on their speech or political activities, even if those activities might complicate the country's relationships with other nations. The bill aims to prevent the government from using foreign policy concerns as a reason to remove people from the country.

A bill to abolish the Anti-Weaponization Fund, and for other purposes.

The proposal would eliminate a federal fund that was created to investigate and address potential misuse of government agencies' powers against American citizens. This would affect oversight mechanisms designed to prevent federal agencies from using their authority in politically motivated or discriminatory ways.

Fresh Starts for Foster Youth Act

States would be required to address legal problems that affect young people in foster care as part of their case planning process, and they would have the option to use federal foster care funding to help these youth access lawyers and counseling services. This would help teenagers and young adults in the foster care system deal with legal issues like housing, education, or immigration matters that could affect their successful transition to living independently.

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States Senate's current cloture and filibuster rules are contrary to the constitutional design of two co-equal majoritarian legislative bodies, are non-deliberative in practice, disenfranchise Members of the House of Representatives and their constituents, and disrupt the proper balance of powers between the two chambers of Congress, and for other purposes.

The House is expressing its opinion that Senate rules allowing filibustering and cloture votes give too much power to the Senate minority and undermine the principle that both chambers of Congress should operate as equal bodies with majority rule. The resolution argues these Senate procedures effectively silence House members and their voters by allowing a small group of senators to block legislation that the House has passed. This is a statement of the House's position rather than a law that would change anything, and it's currently being reviewed by the House Rules Committee.

Keeping Pets and Families Together Act

The federal government would work with animal shelters and similar facilities to help pay for microchipping dogs and cats, making it easier to reunite lost pets with their owners.

The bill aims to ensure transparency about government surveillance practices before more money is spent on expanding these programs.

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027

The federal government would allocate money for the Department of Defense and military operations during 2027, including funds for building and maintaining military bases and facilities, as well as nuclear weapons programs run by the Department of Energy.

The change would affect technology companies, researchers, and government agencies involved in standards-setting and international negotiations.

Make More in America Act of 2026

The change would help ensure veterans in these areas can access the healthcare they've earned through their military service without facing financial hardship.

Lone Star Coastal National Recreation Area Act

The proposal would create a new national recreation area along the Texas Gulf Coast between the upper and middle regions, protecting the natural landscapes, wildlife, and cultural sites in that area while allowing public recreation and tourism.

This affects everyday Americans who are vulnerable to fraud schemes, as well as federal agencies that would need to work together on this initiative.

COMPASS Act

The proposal would change federal law to give military members and their families special protections and support when they homeschool their children, recognizing the unique challenges that come with frequent moves and deployments.

The bill aims to increase transparency and accountability regarding conditions in these detention centers.

Build Housing Affordably Act

This would affect millions of Americans who visit national forests, national parks, and other federally managed recreational areas, as well as the agencies that manage these lands and currently rely on entrance fee revenue. The bill is currently being reviewed by congressional committees to determine whether it's feasible and how it might impact park operations and maintenance budgets.

The measure is currently under review by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.

Postsecondary Student Success Act of 2026

The federal government would provide money to schools and educational organizations to develop and run programs that help struggling students stay in school and graduate. These grants would support evidence-based approaches—meaning methods that research has shown actually work—targeting students who face the biggest barriers to completing their education. Schools serving low-income communities and students at risk of dropping out would be the primary beneficiaries of this funding.

No Exceptions for Non-Citizens Voting Act

This bill would eliminate all current exceptions that allow non-citizens to vote in any U.S. elections, making it illegal for anyone who is not a U.S. citizen to cast a ballot in federal, state, or local races. The change would affect immigration policy and voting eligibility rules across the country by removing any loopholes that might currently permit non-citizens to participate in elections. The bill is currently under review by the House Judiciary Committee.

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 .)

Gun Violence Prevention and Public Safety Database Act of 2026

The CDC would create a database to collect and analyze information about gun violence incidents and their prevention, similar to how the agency tracks disease outbreaks. This would help public health officials, researchers, and policymakers better understand gun violence patterns and test what safety measures actually work. The database would affect law enforcement agencies, hospitals, researchers, and communities working to reduce gun injuries and deaths.

Expressing support for the recognition of July 3 through July 10, 2026, as "National Extreme Heat Awareness Week", a national event educating the public on the dangers of extreme heat and the risks of extreme heat events to public safety, infrastructure, agriculture, and much more, and supporting the goals of a National Extreme Heat Awareness Week.

This resolution would officially recognize July 3-10, 2026, as "National Extreme Heat Awareness Week" to educate Americans about the dangers of extreme heat and how it threatens public safety, infrastructure, and agriculture. The measure aims to raise awareness about heat-related risks that affect communities, workers, and essential services across the country. If approved, it would support efforts to inform the public about protecting themselves and their communities during dangerous heat events.

PRIDE Act of 2026

The proposal would expand the diversity offices at financial regulatory agencies to specifically include LGBTQI+ inclusion alongside their existing focus on minority and women inclusion. This would require these offices to develop policies and programs aimed at ensuring LGBTQI+ individuals and businesses have fair access to financial services and employment opportunities in the banking and finance industry. The change affects major financial regulators, banks, and LGBTQI+ workers and entrepreneurs seeking equal treatment in the financial sector.

Honoring the life, military service, and congressional legacy of the Honorable Charles Bernard Rangel, and his enduring contributions to the alliance between the United States and the Republic of Korea.

This resolution honors former Congressman Charles Bernard Rangel's military service, his decades representing New York in Congress, and his work strengthening the relationship between the United States and South Korea.

Incentivizing the Expansion of U.S. Ports Act

The bill would remove certain federal rules and requirements that currently govern dredging operations (the process of removing sediment and debris from waterways) and how dredged material must be handled and disposed of. This could affect shipping companies, ports, construction firms, and environmental agencies that work with waterways. The changes would likely make dredging projects faster and potentially less expensive, though they could also reduce environmental oversight of these activities.

Foreign Investment Review Monitoring and Commitment Tracking Oversight Board Act

The government would create a new agency to track whether foreign countries are keeping their promises to invest money in the United States and to investigate if they're breaking those commitments. This would affect American businesses and workers by helping ensure that foreign investment deals actually happen as promised. The agency would have the power to review these international investment agreements and potentially take action if countries fail to follow through.

Web of Biological Data Act of 2026

The federal government would create a centralized database that researchers can access to conduct biological studies using advanced computer tools like artificial intelligence, making it easier for scientists to analyze large amounts of biological data without having to gather information from multiple sources. This would help speed up biological research across universities, hospitals, and private companies by giving them a single organized place to find and use existing data. The Department of Energy would be responsible for setting up and managing this resource.

A resolution acknowledging and apologizing for the mistreatment of, and discrimination against, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals who served the United States in the uniformed services, the Foreign Service, and the Federal civil service and committing to the pursuit of equal rights, protections, and respect for all LGBT servicemembers and Federal civil servants.

To amend the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to require participation in the summer EBT program as a condition of participating in the school lunch program, and for other purposes.

The proposal would require schools that participate in the federal lunch program to also participate in a summer food assistance program that provides electronic benefit cards to low-income children during school breaks. This would affect school districts and families with children who rely on school meals, potentially expanding access to food benefits year-round but also creating new administrative requirements for schools. The bill is currently under review by the House Committee on Education and Workforce.

Renewing the African American Civil Rights Network Act

The proposal would continue funding and operations for the African American Civil Rights Network, which works to preserve and share the history of the civil rights movement through education and historical sites. This network helps Americans learn about important events and figures in African American history and civil rights struggles. The extension would keep this program running beyond its current expiration date.

Generative AI Terrorism Risk Assessment Act

The government would be required to study and report each year on how terrorists might use artificial intelligence tools to carry out attacks against the United States. This affects national security officials and policymakers who need to understand emerging threats and prepare defenses accordingly. The bill aims to help the Department of Homeland Security stay ahead of potential dangers posed by advanced AI technology in the hands of bad actors.

Federal Flood Risk Management Act of 2026

The federal government would create consistent standards and requirements to help communities better prepare for and withstand flooding, both from current flood risks and those expected to increase in the future. This would affect homeowners, businesses, local governments, and insurance companies by establishing how buildings should be constructed or modified and how communities should plan to reduce flood damage. The bill aims to make the nation more resilient by ensuring that flood preparedness follows uniform guidelines rather than varying from state to state or region to region.

Comprehensive Paid Leave for Federal Employees Act

Federal employees would be able to take up to 12 weeks of paid leave per year to care for a new child, a seriously ill family member, or their own serious health condition, while continuing to receive their regular paychecks. The bill would also extend similar protections to federal workers dealing with military family issues and other qualifying life events. This would give federal workers benefits similar to those many private companies already offer their employees.

To provide rental vouchers for the homeless, and for other purposes.

The bill would provide rental vouchers to help homeless people afford housing by subsidizing their rent payments. This assistance would help vulnerable individuals and families secure stable housing while potentially reducing costs associated with homelessness for communities and government services.

The legislation would affect unaccompanied minors, immigration enforcement agencies, and potentially the military, giving them new rules or procedures for handling these cases.

Federal Flood Risk Management Act of 2026

The proposal would create a national standard to help communities and the federal government better prepare for and handle flooding, both from current flood threats and those expected to increase in the future. This would affect homeowners, businesses, local governments, and federal agencies by establishing consistent guidelines for flood planning and resilience efforts across the country. The measure is currently being reviewed by committees that handle financial services, transportation, and infrastructure matters.

Critical Defense Ownership Review Act

The government would be required to review when investment companies buy controlling stakes in major defense contractors to ensure national security isn't compromised. This would give federal officials a chance to examine whether foreign investors or financial firms with questionable ties could gain influence over companies that make weapons and military equipment for the U.S. Armed Forces.

Oversight of Temporary ICE Holding Cells Act

The bill would require the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency to follow stricter rules and oversight when holding people in temporary detention facilities, ensuring these facilities meet certain safety and health standards. It would give Congress and oversight committees the power to inspect these facilities and review how ICE operates them, affecting both the agency's practices and the conditions for people detained during immigration proceedings.

Acknowledging and apologizing for the mistreatment of, and discrimination against, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals who served the United States in the uniformed services, the Foreign Service, and the Federal civil service and committing to the pursuit of equal rights, protections, and respect for all LGBT servicemembers and Federal civil servants.

The federal government would formally acknowledge and apologize for past discrimination and mistreatment of LGBT individuals who served in the military, Foreign Service, and federal government jobs, while committing to ensuring equal rights and protections for all LGBT federal employees and service members going forward. This resolution recognizes historical wrongs against gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender workers in these sectors and pledges future fair treatment. The measure is currently being reviewed by multiple congressional committees that oversee military, veterans, foreign affairs, and government operations.

Tax Court Parity Act

The proposal would clarify what powers the Tax Court has to change or undo its own decisions after they've been made final. This would affect taxpayers and businesses that want to challenge tax court rulings they believe were made in error, by making it clearer when and how they can ask the court to reconsider.

Renewable Energy Choice Act

States and local governments would be prevented from blocking or restricting renewable energy projects based on the type of renewable source being used, meaning they couldn't reject solar, wind, geothermal, or other clean energy installations simply because of what kind of renewable energy is involved. This would affect state and local officials, renewable energy companies, and property owners who want to develop clean energy projects. The bill aims to remove barriers that could slow down the expansion of renewable energy infrastructure across the country.

Allied Partnership and Port Modernization Act

The bill would allow the U.S. military and government to use dredging ships from NATO countries and close U.S. military allies to maintain and deepen American waterways and ports. This could speed up dredging projects that keep shipping channels navigable and ports functional, affecting maritime commerce, shipping companies, and port operations across the country. Currently, U.S. law restricts such work to American-flagged vessels, so this change would expand which ships can be used for these critical waterway maintenance tasks.

Veterans to Advanced Manufacturing Plan Act

The Department of Veterans Affairs would be required to create a plan to help veterans find jobs in advanced manufacturing industries like aerospace, electronics, and precision equipment production. This would involve identifying training programs, connecting veterans with employers in these fields, and removing barriers that prevent veterans from entering these well-paying careers. The goal is to match veterans' military skills and discipline with manufacturing jobs that are in high demand.

Commending Taiwan on the 30th anniversary of its first direct presidential election in 1996, and expressing support for Taiwan in the preservation of its democratic institutions.

This resolution recognizes Taiwan's 30-year milestone of holding its first direct presidential election in 1996 and expresses U.S. support for Taiwan's democratic system of government. The measure is a symbolic statement that does not create new laws or policies, but rather affirms congressional support for Taiwan's democratic institutions and governance. It affects U.S.-Taiwan relations and signals American backing for Taiwan's political independence and democratic processes.

To amend title 5, United States Code, to provide that judicial review under the Administrative Procedure Act requires de novo trial of the facts when agency action seeks a sanction.

When federal agencies punish someone with a sanction (like a fine or license revocation), this proposal would require courts to completely re-examine all the facts from scratch rather than just checking whether the agency followed proper procedures. Currently, courts typically give agencies significant deference and only review whether they acted reasonably, but this change would let people challenge agency punishments by having a judge conduct a full new trial on the facts. This would affect workers, businesses, and individuals facing federal agency penalties across areas like labor, environmental, and financial regulation.

Governors’ Right to Inspect Act of 2026

State governors would gain the authority to inspect immigration detention facilities operating within their borders to check on health and safety conditions, similar to how they oversee other facilities in their states. The bill would require federal officials to report their findings from these inspections to Congress, giving lawmakers visibility into detention facility conditions. This would affect governors, immigration detention facility operators, and federal immigration agencies like ICE.

Expressing support for the designation of June 12, 2026, as "Women Veterans Appreciation Day".

The proposal would officially recognize June 12, 2026, as a national day to honor and appreciate women who have served in the U.S. military. This symbolic designation would raise awareness about the contributions and sacrifices of female veterans and could encourage communities and organizations to hold events celebrating their service. The measure has no direct legal or financial impact but serves as a formal expression of national gratitude toward this group of veterans.

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 government would continue its ability to collect communications from foreign targets living outside the United States without getting individual court warrants, a surveillance power that was set to expire. This affects how the FBI, CIA, and NSA can monitor suspected foreign threats and terrorists, though civil liberties groups worry it could sweep up communications from Americans who talk to people overseas. The bill extends these surveillance authorities that have been in place since 2008 and are considered essential tools for national security by intelligence agencies.

Parent PLUS Loan Fairness and Responsibility Act of 2026

The proposal would let parents transfer their federal student loans to their adult children, allowing families to shift debt responsibility between generations. This could help parents reduce their loan burden while giving children the option to take on parent loans instead of borrowing additional money themselves. The change would affect families managing federal student debt and could reshape how households approach education financing.

Web of Biological Data Act of 2026

The Department of Energy would create a centralized database that makes biological research data easier for scientists to access and analyze using advanced computer tools like artificial intelligence. This would help researchers across universities, hospitals, and private companies speed up discoveries in areas like medicine and biotechnology by giving them better tools to process large amounts of biological information.

Stopping Harmful and Outrageous Torts Act

The proposal would clarify and potentially expand legal protections that shield firearms manufacturers and retailers from being sued by victims of gun violence or their families. Currently, a 2005 law already provides broad immunity for gun makers and sellers, and this amendment would strengthen those protections further. The change would make it harder for people harmed by guns to hold the industry legally responsible for their injuries or losses.

Juice Access Improvement Act

The proposal would change the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) nutrition program to make juice the standard beverage option included in food packages for eligible families, rather than requiring participants to specifically request it. WIC serves low-income pregnant women, new mothers, and young children by providing vouchers for nutritious foods, so this change would affect millions of families receiving this federal assistance. The shift aims to make juice more readily available to program participants without requiring them to take extra steps to access it.

Broadband Deployment and Economic Impact Study Act of 2026

The federal government would study the different technologies used to deliver high-speed internet to homes and businesses across the country, then report back to Congress with findings about how these systems work and their effectiveness. This research would help lawmakers understand the current state of broadband infrastructure and potentially inform future decisions about expanding internet access to underserved areas.

Let America Build Act of 2026

The bill would streamline the process for approving energy projects on federal lands and waters by setting faster timelines for permit decisions and reducing the amount of environmental review required. It would affect energy companies developing oil, gas, wind, and other energy resources, as well as communities near these projects and federal agencies responsible for issuing permits. The legislation aims to speed up energy development while potentially reducing some environmental protections and public input opportunities.

Blast Overpressure Research and Mitigation Task Force Act

The Department of Veterans Affairs would create a task force to study and address blast overpressure injuries—the invisible wounds caused by explosions that affect many veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. The task force would research these injuries, improve how they're diagnosed and treated, and develop better support programs for affected veterans. This effort aims to better understand a serious health problem that has impacted thousands of service members but remains less visible than other combat injuries.

DASH Act

The proposal would give rental vouchers to homeless individuals and families to help them afford housing in the private rental market. These vouchers would work similarly to existing housing assistance programs, allowing eligible homeless people to pay a portion of rent while the government covers the rest. The bill aims to help transition people experiencing homelessness into stable housing.

Semiconductor Superiority Act

The proposal would clarify tax rules for companies that build semiconductor manufacturing facilities in outer space, specifically how they can claim advanced manufacturing investment credits—tax breaks designed to encourage domestic manufacturing. This would affect aerospace companies and semiconductor manufacturers considering space-based production by removing uncertainty about whether they qualify for these tax incentives. The bill is currently under review by the Senate Finance Committee.

TIMEOUT Act

The proposal would require the federal government to move office buildings and facilities out of cities and states that have "sanctuary" policies (which limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement), and would prevent the federal government from opening new offices in such jurisdictions. This would affect federal employees who work in these locations and potentially disrupt government services in affected areas. The bill also includes other provisions related to federal property management.

Commemorating 10 years since the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, on June 12, 2016.

This resolution honors the memory of the 49 people killed and 53 wounded in the 2016 shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, marking a decade since the tragedy. The measure recognizes the impact of the attack on the victims' families, survivors, and the broader LGBTQ+ community, while acknowledging the first responders who helped during the crisis. It serves as a formal congressional acknowledgment of this significant moment in American history.

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

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

Fair Day in Court for Kids Act of 2026

The bill would ensure that children have adequate legal representation and support when involved in court cases, making it easier for young people to understand and participate in the legal system that affects them. It aims to improve how courts handle cases involving minors by potentially requiring better access to lawyers, interpreters, and other resources that help kids navigate the justice system. The measure would affect children involved in various legal proceedings, including those in family court, juvenile justice cases, and other court matters.

Juice for Healthy Families Act of 2026

The proposal would limit how much juice families can buy each month through the WIC program, which provides food assistance to low-income pregnant women, new mothers, and young children. By capping juice allowances, the bill aims to encourage healthier eating habits and reduce sugar consumption among these vulnerable populations. The change would affect millions of families currently receiving WIC benefits across the country.

Hands Off Elections Act of 2026

Federal employees would be banned from getting involved in election administration activities, such as counting votes, managing polling places, or overseeing voter registration. The law would apply to all federal workers across government agencies and would prevent them from taking on these election duties even if they volunteer or are temporarily assigned to help. This affects federal employees and could impact how elections are staffed, particularly in areas that rely on federal workers to assist with voting operations.

Student Athlete Act of 2026

The legislation would set federal standards for which student athletes can compete in college sports, likely addressing issues like transfer rules, eligibility requirements, and participation standards across schools. This would affect college athletes, universities, and athletic programs by creating uniform national rules rather than allowing each school or conference to set their own policies. The bill has been sent to the House Committee on Education and Workforce for review and debate.

Child Safety and Well-Being Act of 2026

The proposal would create a new independent government agency called the Children's Commission, led by a Commissioner, to focus on policies and issues affecting children. This new commission would have the authority to study, recommend, and potentially oversee programs related to child welfare, education, health, and other areas impacting young people. The commission would give children's concerns a dedicated voice in federal government decision-making.

Keep Public Funds in Public Schools Act of 2026

The proposal would eliminate a tax break that currently allows individuals to reduce their federal income taxes when they donate money to organizations that provide scholarships to students. This change would affect donors who support scholarship programs and could reduce funding available for student scholarships, while potentially increasing tax revenue for the federal government.

Supreme Court Justice Circuit Riding Act

The proposal would assign Supreme Court justices to specific federal court circuits, changing how the judicial system is currently organized. This would affect how cases move through the federal court system and could alter the relationship between the Supreme Court and lower courts across different regions of the country.

ReCement Act

The proposal would change federal waste laws to exclude certain recovered materials and resources from being classified as solid waste, which could affect how recycling companies, manufacturers, and waste management facilities operate and are regulated. By redefining what counts as waste, the bill could make it easier for businesses to reuse or resell materials without following the same strict disposal rules that currently apply to traditional garbage.

Pedestrian Protection Act

The legislation would require motor vehicles to meet new safety standards designed to protect pedestrians, such as improved visibility features and collision avoidance technology, and would mandate that manufacturers disclose safety-related information to the public. These requirements would apply to car makers and affect how vehicles are designed and sold to consumers. The bill aims to reduce injuries and deaths involving pedestrians struck by cars.

Federal Cryptocurrency Theft Enforcement and Coordination Act

The proposal would create a specialized federal task force dedicated to investigating and prosecuting cryptocurrency theft and fraud. This new unit would bring together law enforcement agencies to combat crimes involving stolen digital assets, helping protect people and businesses who use cryptocurrency. The task force would work to track down criminals who steal digital wallets and coins while developing better tools to recover stolen funds.

Tax Relief for First Responder Beneficiaries Act

The legislation would modify tax rules to provide financial relief to families of public safety officers—such as police officers, firefighters, and emergency responders—who die in the line of duty or from job-related illnesses. Specifically, it would adjust how death benefits paid to these families are taxed, potentially allowing them to keep more of the money they receive. The changes aim to better support the families of those who sacrifice their lives serving their communities.

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States regarding the right to vote.

A proposed constitutional amendment that would establish a federal right to vote for all eligible citizens and give Congress the power to enforce voting protections through legislation. The amendment would limit states' ability to restrict voting access and could override certain state voting laws that Congress determines are discriminatory. This would affect all voters and election officials across the country by potentially standardizing voting rules nationwide.

Stop Crypto ATM Scams Act

The proposal would require companies that operate digital asset kiosks (machines that let people buy and sell cryptocurrencies) to register with federal authorities and follow anti-money laundering and fraud prevention rules similar to those that apply to traditional banks. This would help prevent criminals from using these kiosks to hide illegal money or commit fraud, while giving regulators better visibility into cryptocurrency transactions. The measure affects kiosk operators and cryptocurrency users who rely on these machines.

Concrete Pump Tax Fairness Act

This bill would replace the current fuel tax on mobile concrete pump trucks with a new fee based on how many miles these vehicles travel instead. Companies that operate concrete boom pumps would pay this mileage-based fee rather than the regular gasoline or diesel taxes, potentially changing how much they pay in transportation-related taxes. The change would affect construction and concrete companies that use these specialized trucks for their operations.

A bill to provide for a requirement for networked autonomous kinetic capability against small unmanned aircraft systems.

The military would be required to develop and deploy systems that can detect and disable small drones using physical force or electronic means. This affects military personnel and defense contractors who would need to build and operate these anti-drone technologies to protect military installations and personnel from unauthorized unmanned aircraft.

Tax Relief for Innocent Spouses Act

The bill would allow taxpayers who claim "innocent spouse" status—meaning they shouldn't be held responsible for taxes owed by their spouse due to underreporting or fraud—to have their cases fully reviewed by the Tax Court and other courts rather than just by the IRS. Currently, these cases have limited review options, so this change would give taxpayers more opportunities to challenge the IRS's decision if they disagree with it. This affects married couples dealing with tax disputes where one spouse claims they were unaware of or didn't participate in tax problems.

Wildfire Smoke Emergency Declaration Act of 2026

The President would gain the authority to declare a smoke emergency when wildfire smoke or other smoke sources create serious public health threats, allowing the federal government to coordinate faster response and relief efforts. This would affect states, cities, and communities dealing with dangerous air quality, as well as businesses and workers in affected areas who might receive emergency support or regulatory flexibility during such declarations. The bill has been referred to multiple committees to review how it would work with transportation, small business, and budget considerations.

AI Bubble Transparency Act

The government's financial research office would be required to collect detailed information about how companies are funding artificial intelligence development and share that data with Congress, then recommend ways that financial regulators and lawmakers can reduce risks to the overall economy. This would help lawmakers and regulators understand whether massive investments in AI could create financial problems similar to past crises, and what safeguards might be needed. The bill affects tech companies, investors, banks, and financial regulators who oversee the stability of the financial system.

A bill to amend the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 to improve transparency, and for other purposes.

The legislation would require the government to be more transparent about how it conducts secret surveillance on Americans and foreigners under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, likely by releasing more information about the number of people monitored and how the surveillance programs operate. The changes would affect intelligence agencies like the FBI and NSA, as well as the public's ability to understand what these agencies are doing, though specific details about what transparency measures are included would depend on the bill's full text.

Multigenerational Care and Support Act

The proposal would expand volunteer opportunities for seniors at facilities serving older adults and younger people, allowing more older Americans to contribute their time and skills in community settings. This could help address staffing needs at nursing homes, senior centers, and youth programs while giving older adults meaningful ways to stay active and engaged in their communities.

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.

This bill extends the authorities of Title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) until July 2, 2026. Title VII of FISA generally addresses electronic surveillance and other methods of acquiring foreign intelligence information that are directed at targets outside the United States. Title VII includes surveillance under Section 702, which concerns acquiring communications of non-U.S. persons believed to be outside the United States to obtain foreign intelligence information. Information about U.S. persons may incidentally be acquired by this type of surveillance and subsequently queried (searched) under certain circumstances. For additional information, see CRS In Focus, IF11451 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) ; and CRS Report, R48592 FISA Section 702 and the 2024 Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act .

Take Care of America’s Veterans Act

Take Care of America's Veterans Act This bill addresses veterans’ benefits, health care, counseling, Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) personnel, VA infrastructure, and the Veterans Community Care Program (VCCP). The bill modifies various compensation programs for veterans, including by (1) allowing concurrent receipt of disability compensation and military retired pay for certain retirees with a combat-related disability, (2) extending entitlement for various benefits and services to remarried surviving spouses, (3) increasing the rate of dependency and indemnity compensation, and (4) establishing a supplemental monthly allowance for certain disabled veterans.

The legislation would set federal limits on how states can tax businesses and individuals engaged in interstate commerce, preventing states from imposing taxes that unfairly burden out-of-state companies or residents. This would affect businesses that operate across multiple states, online retailers, and consumers by establishing clearer rules about which state can collect sales taxes and other levies on interstate transactions. The bill aims to reduce tax conflicts between states and create more uniform taxation rules for commerce that crosses state lines.

No American Left Behind Act

The Department of Defense would be required to report to Congress on efforts to recover American citizens who are missing or held in foreign countries. The report would provide details on the status of these cases and any actions being taken to bring these individuals home. This affects families of missing Americans and gives Congress oversight of military recovery operations.

American Innovation and Choice Online Act

This bill would make it illegal for large social media and online platforms to discriminate against users or content based on their political viewpoint, potentially requiring these companies to treat all speech more equally on their services. The measure would affect major tech platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, as well as users who believe their content has been unfairly removed or suppressed. The bill is currently under review by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

ON TIME Act

The bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to have a suicide prevention coordinator available at every VA medical center, including during evenings, nights, and weekends when needed, so veterans can access suicide prevention planning services at any time.

Protecting Indian Water Rights Settlements Act of 2026

The bill would modify how money is distributed from a fund created to help settle water rights disputes involving Native American tribes, by creating separate accounts within that fund for different purposes or tribes. This change would give Congress and tribal nations more control over how settlement money is allocated and spent. The proposal affects Native American communities, federal agencies managing water resources, and states involved in water rights negotiations with tribes.

HAILEY Act of 2026

The legislation would establish minimum standards that law enforcement agencies must follow when issuing alerts for missing people considered high-risk, such as children, elderly individuals with cognitive impairments, or those in danger.

The measure is intended to give federal agencies more control over their payment schedules and financial management.

No PLA Employees Act of 2026

The bill would prevent the government from approving immigrant petitions for foreign workers who previously worked for companies on the Department of Defense's list of entities with security concerns. This restriction would apply to people seeking to immigrate based on job sponsorship from U.S. employers. The measure aims to protect national security by limiting immigration pathways for individuals with prior employment ties to organizations flagged by the Defense Department.

POWER Moldova Act of 2026

The legislation would require the State Department to prepare and submit a detailed report to Congress about Moldova's energy situation, including information about the country's energy sources, infrastructure, and any challenges it faces. This report would help lawmakers better understand Moldova's energy needs and vulnerabilities, particularly as they relate to U.S. foreign policy interests in Eastern Europe. The report would affect policymakers and diplomats working on international relations with Moldova rather than American workers or businesses directly.

Critical Defense Ownership Review Act

The government would be required to review when investment companies try to buy controlling stakes in major defense contractors to ensure national security isn't compromised. This review process would give officials a chance to examine whether foreign investors or other concerning parties could gain influence over companies that make weapons and military equipment for the U.S. armed forces.

Drain the Slush Fund Act

The federal government currently pays out settlements and judgments when it loses lawsuits, and this bill would set limits on how much money can be awarded in these cases. The changes would affect anyone suing the federal government for damages, potentially capping the amounts they could receive even if they win their case. This could impact federal employees, contractors, and citizens seeking compensation for injuries or losses caused by government actions.

Timeshare Transparency Act

The proposal would set new rules for how timeshare companies sell their properties, requiring them to provide clearer information to buyers about costs, terms, and what they're actually purchasing. These requirements aim to help consumers make better-informed decisions and reduce deceptive sales practices in the timeshare industry, which affects millions of Americans who own vacation properties.

Ending Child Soldiers in Africa Act

The Defense Secretary would be required to study and report on how the use of child soldiers in African countries affects U.S. national security and interests. The report would help Congress understand the connections between this human rights problem and potential threats or challenges to American security. This affects policymakers and military officials who need to understand regional instability in Africa.

A bill to implement reforms relating to foreign intelligence surveillance authorities, protections relating to warrantless queries for the communications of United States persons, and for other purposes.

The government would need to follow stricter rules when searching through foreign intelligence databases for information about Americans, including getting approval before conducting certain searches without a warrant. The bill aims to balance national security needs with privacy protections by limiting how federal agencies can look up communications and data of U.S. citizens collected during foreign surveillance operations. These changes would affect intelligence agencies like the FBI and NSA, as well as the courts that oversee their activities.

Beginning Educator Mentorship and Retention Act

The federal government would create a new grant program to help public schools develop and run induction programs that support new teachers and school leaders during their first few years on the job. These programs would provide mentoring, training, and other resources to help new educators succeed and stay in the profession.

SAFE for Kids Act of 2026

The bill would require businesses that sell age-restricted products or services—such as alcohol, tobacco, or adult content—to use age verification systems to confirm customers are old enough before completing sales. This would affect retailers, online platforms, and other commercial companies that currently rely on manual ID checks or honor systems. The requirement aims to prevent minors from accessing products legally restricted to adults.

Supporting the designation of the week of June 14 through June 21, 2026, as "National Men's Health Week".

The proposal would officially recognize the week of June 14-21, 2026, as National Men's Health Week to raise awareness about health issues affecting men and encourage them to seek medical care and adopt healthier lifestyles. This designation is largely symbolic and does not create new programs or funding, but it allows the government to highlight the importance of men's health through official recognition and public awareness efforts. The measure affects public health messaging and could help health organizations and medical professionals focus attention on men's wellness during that designated week.

Puerto Rico Democratic Self Determination Act

The legislation would allow Puerto Rico residents to hold a referendum where they could vote on whether Puerto Rico should become a U.S. state, remain a commonwealth, or become an independent nation. The federal government would recognize and implement the results of whatever option Puerto Ricans choose in the vote. This would give Puerto Rico's 3.2 million residents direct control over their political future rather than having Congress make that decision for them.

Combat Emerging Threats to Critical Infrastructure Act of 2026

The federal government would update its plans for protecting critical infrastructure sectors like energy, water, and transportation from cyber attacks and physical threats by having the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency coordinate with agencies responsible for each sector. These updated plans would help identify vulnerabilities and improve how the government responds to emergencies that could affect essential services that Americans rely on daily. The bill is currently under review by the Senate committee that oversees homeland security matters.

Volunteer First Responder Housing Act

Volunteer firefighters, emergency medical technicians, and other first responders would gain access to federal housing assistance programs currently available only to low-income households, helping them afford homes in their communities. The legislation would recognize their service by expanding eligibility for programs like down payment assistance and affordable housing loans. This change would particularly benefit volunteer first responders in rural and suburban areas where housing costs have become increasingly difficult to manage on modest incomes.

Tax Dollar Accountability Act

The federal government's top auditor would gain the legal right to access state government records and documents when conducting audits, investigations, and evaluations. This would allow the Comptroller General to examine state-level spending and programs more thoroughly to identify waste, fraud, or inefficiency.

The measure recognizes the contributions of Portuguese people and their descendants around the world, particularly in the United States, while paying tribute to Luís de Camões, a celebrated Portuguese poet and national hero.

Stop the SPLC Act of 2026

This bill would remove the Southern Poverty Law Center's tax-exempt status, meaning the organization would no longer qualify for the special tax benefits that nonprofits typically receive. The change would affect the organization's ability to operate as a charity and could impact donors who currently receive tax deductions for contributions. This would essentially treat the Southern Poverty Law Center like a regular business rather than a nonprofit organization for tax purposes.

No Equipment Left Behind Act of 2026

The military would be required to better track and account for equipment and supplies in overseas combat zones to prevent loss, theft, or misuse of government property. This would involve stricter reporting requirements and oversight procedures for how the Department of Defense manages valuable assets like weapons, vehicles, and supplies in active war theaters. The changes aim to ensure taxpayer money is spent responsibly and that critical military equipment is properly accounted for.

Protecting Americans from High Electricity Prices Act of 2026

The bill would create a formal process for federal agencies to evaluate whether projects and policies serve the public interest by considering their greenhouse gas emissions and climate impacts. This would affect companies planning major infrastructure projects, energy development, and other activities that require federal approval, as they would need to demonstrate how their plans account for climate concerns. The measure aims to give environmental considerations a structured role in how the government makes decisions about projects that emit significant amounts of greenhouse gases.

Wildfire Smoke Emergency Declaration Act of 2026

The proposal would give the President the power to officially declare a smoke emergency when wildfire smoke or other smoke sources create serious public health threats across the country.

This bill designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 201 East Grant Avenue in Georgetown, Ohio, as the "Ulysses S. Grant Post Office Building".

Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Health and Human Services relating to "Restoring Flexibility in the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF)".

Congress would reject a new rule from the Department of Health and Human Services that changes how states can use federal child care funding, potentially allowing more flexibility in how child care programs operate and who they serve. The rule is currently under review by the House Committee on Education and Workforce, which will decide whether to move forward with blocking it. If approved, this would prevent the new rule from taking effect.

Protect Working Musicians Act of 2026

The legislation would establish new legal protections and rights for musicians who work as independent contractors or gig workers, addressing issues like payment disputes, contract fairness, and access to benefits. It aims to give working musicians—from session players to touring performers—stronger tools to negotiate fair terms with venues, promoters, and streaming platforms. The bill would affect both individual musicians and the entertainment companies that hire them.

Community College Agriculture Advancement Act of 2026

Community College Agriculture Advancement Act of 2026 This bill allows the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to make competitive grants to assist eligible entities (i.e., a junior or community college, or a consortium or alliance of two-year public colleges, supporting agriculture advancement) in maintaining and expanding their capacity to conduct workforce training, education, research, and outreach activities related to agriculture and similar disciplines In awarding grants, USDA must give priority to entities coordinating with a local agriculture industry operator to provide experiential training and other opportunities for students. Grant funds may be used to expand and maintain the capacity of the eligible entity, including through the purchase or other acquisition of equipment and other infrastructure, the professional growth and development of faculty, and the development of apprenticeships and other work-based learning opportunities. An eligible entity may submit to USDA an application for designation and funding as a Center of Excellence for Agriculture Advancement. Funding received as a result of such a designation must be used to demonstrate agriculture best practices and to provide leadership in capacity building at a regional or national level.

Great American Outdoors Act 250

This bill would provide funding and support to modernize and maintain five major federal agencies that manage America's public lands, wildlife, and Native American education systems as the country approaches its 250th anniversary in 2026. The money would go toward updating facilities, improving services, and strengthening operations at the National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service, and Bureau of Indian Education.

The program aims to improve teacher retention and school leadership quality across the country.

Recreation Permitting Improvement Act

The proposal would expand federal permitting rules to cover certain recreational activities and projects, making it easier and faster for companies and organizations to get the approvals they need from the government.

The bill is still in early stages and has been sent to the House Committee on Natural Resources for review.

AI DATA Act

The federal government would be authorized to collect more detailed information about how artificial intelligence is affecting jobs and workers, including data on which industries and types of workers are most impacted. This would help policymakers and researchers better understand AI's effects on employment, wages, and job availability across different regions and worker groups. The data collection activities would improve the government's ability to track workforce trends and inform decisions about worker training and support programs.

A bill to implement reforms relating to foreign intelligence surveillance authorities, to prohibit reverse targeting of United States persons and persons located in the United States, and for other purposes.

The government would be required to follow stricter rules when conducting foreign intelligence surveillance, including a new ban on "reverse targeting" — a practice where officials spy on foreign targets specifically to collect information about Americans without getting a warrant first. The bill aims to protect the privacy rights of U.S. citizens and people living in the country while still allowing intelligence agencies to monitor genuine foreign threats. These reforms would apply to how the FBI, CIA, and other intelligence agencies conduct their surveillance operations.

Biosecurity Smuggling Deterrence Act of 2026

The proposal would require judges to impose minimum prison sentences for people convicted of plotting to illegally bring dangerous biological materials into the United States or lying to federal agents about such smuggling activities.

Disaster Ready Infrastructure Act of 2026

States and local governments would be required to assess how natural disasters like floods, hurricanes, and earthquakes could damage their roads, bridges, and other transportation systems when they develop long-term transportation plans. This would help communities better prepare for and protect critical infrastructure that people depend on to get around, work, and receive emergency services. The requirement would apply to transportation planning efforts that receive federal funding.

Congress is officially recognizing and praising charter schools across the country, along with their students, families, teachers, and administrators, for their contributions to American education during National Charter Schools Week (May 10-16, 2026). This is a ceremonial resolution that celebrates charter schools' role in the education system rather than creating any new laws or policies. The resolution passed the Senate unanimously without any changes.

To amend the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act to authorize the Secretary of Education to extend paperwork reduction waivers, and for other purposes.

The proposal would allow the Secretary of Education to give schools temporary relief from some of the paperwork requirements that come with special education laws, making it easier for schools to focus resources on teaching rather than filing forms. This flexibility would apply to schools serving students with disabilities under federal special education programs. The change would need approval from Congress before it could take effect.

Allowing Emancipation Hall to be used for a ceremony to dedicate the Semiquincentennial Congressional Time Capsule on Wednesday, June 24, 2026.

The House would allow a special ceremony to be held in Emancipation Hall on June 24, 2026, to dedicate a time capsule marking the 250th anniversary of American independence.

The proposal has been referred to the House Committee on House Administration for consideration.

FENCE Act

The bill would allow farmers to receive government payments to replace old fencing with new technology-based fencing systems through an existing emergency conservation program.

The bill is currently under review by the House Committee on Education and Workforce.

Magnets Value Chain Support Act of 2026

The proposal would create tax incentives to encourage American companies to manufacture permanent magnets domestically rather than importing them from other countries. Permanent magnets are critical components used in electric vehicles, wind turbines, and various defense and industrial applications, so the bill aims to boost domestic production of these materials. The tax breaks would apply to companies that produce or use these magnets in their manufacturing operations.

Connecticut River Watershed Partnership Act

The federal government would coordinate efforts to restore and protect the Connecticut River Watershed, which spans five states, by working with local communities and agencies to improve water quality, wildlife habitat, and natural resources in the region. This would affect residents, businesses, and environmental groups in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont who depend on or care about the river's health. The bill aims to address pollution, flooding, and ecosystem damage through a unified regional approach rather than having each state work separately.

Intelligence Community Inspector General Parity Act of 2026

The proposal would give the Inspector General's office within the intelligence community the power to conduct law enforcement activities, such as investigating crimes and making arrests, rather than just reviewing and auditing intelligence agencies' work. This change would allow the office to more directly enforce rules and hold intelligence agencies accountable for wrongdoing. The measure affects how intelligence agencies like the CIA and NSA are overseen and investigated for potential violations.

Natural Climate Solutions Research and Extension Act of 2026

The bill would create grants that help farmers, ranchers, and forest managers research and adopt practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and capture carbon from the atmosphere, such as improved soil management and tree planting.

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

The House of Representatives voted to fill vacant positions on several of its standing committees, which are the permanent groups that handle specific areas like taxes, defense, healthcare, and other policy matters. These committees are where most legislative work happens before bills go to a full House vote, so having all seats filled helps Congress function more efficiently. The motion to reconsider was rejected, meaning the election results are final.

Protecting U.S. Fishers from Illegal Foreign Flags Act of 2026

The bill would allow the U.S. Commerce Secretary to identify countries that use "open registry" ships (vessels registered in countries other than where they're owned) as nations involved in illegal fishing, giving the government more tools to crack down on fishing practices that violate international rules. This affects fishing companies and countries that operate large ocean-going fleets, as they could face trade penalties or other consequences if identified as supporting illegal fishing. The change targets a loophole where ships can hide their true ownership and avoid responsibility for breaking fishing laws.

Natural Climate Solutions Research and Extension Act of 2026

The proposal would create grants and funding for farmers, ranchers, and agricultural researchers to study and implement farming practices that help fight climate change, such as soil conservation and sustainable land management. These grants would support both research into new climate-friendly agricultural methods and educational programs to help farmers adopt them.

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives supporting the Department of State's efforts to prevent the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) from embedding themselves within the Iranian National Football Delegation during the 2026 FIFA World Cup and to limit the delegation's presence in the United States to the minimum time necessary for scheduled match play.

The House is expressing support for the State Department to prevent Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (a military organization) from using the 2026 FIFA World Cup as an opportunity to establish a presence in the United States by embedding members within Iran's national soccer team. The resolution calls for limiting Iran's delegation's time in the U.S. to only what's necessary for their scheduled matches, rather than allowing them to stay longer. This is a non-binding statement of congressional opinion rather than a law that would change existing rules.

Protecting America from Chinese Cars Act of 2026

The legislation would ban cars and trucks that have internet connectivity features and are made by or associated with companies from countries considered U.S. adversaries, such as China and Russia. This would prevent these vehicles from being sold or imported into the United States, affecting both foreign automakers and American consumers who might want to purchase them. The goal is to protect national security by preventing potential foreign surveillance or control through vehicle technology.

Preventing Payouts for Insurrectionists Act

The proposal would prevent people convicted of participating in an insurrection against the U.S. government from receiving federal payments, benefits, or settlements. This would affect individuals found guilty of insurrection-related crimes, potentially blocking access to things like federal employee pensions, Social Security, or lawsuit settlements involving the government. The bill is currently under review by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Health Data Access, Transparency, and Affordability Act of 2026

The proposal would allow people who manage retirement and health benefit plans to access information about health insurance claims without knowing which specific employees the claims belong to.

The measure is currently under review by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

A resolution recognizing the strategic importance of the Arctic region and supporting continued congressional engagement with Arctic allies and partners.

Congress would formally recognize that the Arctic region is strategically important to the United States and commit to staying actively involved with countries and groups that operate there, such as Canada, Russia, and Greenland. The resolution signals that lawmakers intend to continue paying attention to Arctic issues and working with allied nations on matters affecting that region, which is becoming increasingly significant due to climate change, natural resources, and military interests.

Artificial Intelligence Environmental Impacts Act of 2026

The EPA would study how artificial intelligence data centers affect the environment, particularly their energy use and pollution impacts, while NIST would bring together experts to share findings on these issues. The EPA would also create a system for companies to report their AI operations' environmental effects.

Impeaching Eleanor Louise Ross, Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

This resolution seeks to remove Eleanor Louise Ross, a federal judge in Georgia, from her position by charging her with high crimes and misdemeanors. The House Judiciary Committee will review the allegations and determine whether to proceed with an impeachment trial in the Senate, where a two-thirds majority would be needed to remove her from office. If successful, this would result in Judge Ross losing her lifetime appointment to the federal bench.

Restoring Renewable Energy Parity Act

This bill would block certain executive actions and eliminate specific executive orders or documents that have been previously issued. The exact impact depends on which executive actions and documents would be affected, as the bill's specific provisions aren't detailed in the available information. The measure is currently under review by the Senate Finance Committee.

To require the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration to conduct a study to assess whether certain aircraft certified under part 23 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, may be used in operations conducted under part 121 of such title, and for other purposes.

The FAA would be required to study whether smaller aircraft that are currently certified for limited use could safely operate as commercial passenger planes under the same rules as larger airlines. This research would help determine if these aircraft meet the safety and performance standards needed for regular commercial airline operations. The findings could potentially expand which types of planes airlines are allowed to use for passenger service.

A resolution expressing support for the designation of July 2026 as "National Sarcoma Awareness Month".

Congress is officially recognizing July 2026 as a month dedicated to raising awareness about sarcoma, a type of cancer that develops in bones and soft tissues.

The bill would also overturn the Citizens United decision that allowed unlimited campaign spending and strengthen rules preventing politicians from profiting off their positions. It affects Congress members, the President, Vice President, Supreme Court justices, and the campaign finance system overall.

VA Emergency Transportation Act

Veterans who use emergency medical transportation to reach a Veterans Affairs hospital or clinic would be reimbursed by the VA for those transportation costs, rather than having to pay out of pocket. This change would help reduce financial burdens on veterans who need urgent medical care at VA facilities. The bill is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs.

BLANCHE Act of 2026

The proposal would set new rules for how the President can settle legal disputes involving the federal government, requiring certain approvals or procedures before agreeing to compromise agreements. This would affect how the executive branch handles lawsuits and financial settlements, potentially requiring more oversight or transparency in these deals. The measure has been sent to the House Judiciary Committee for review.

Marcus’s Law

Schools that receive federal funding would be required to give high school students heart screening tests—an electrocardiogram and an echocardiogram—before they can participate in sports for the first time. These tests check the heart's electrical activity and structure to catch potential problems that could cause sudden cardiac events during athletic activity. The requirement would apply to students in grades 9 through 12 across the country.

Careworker Visa Act of 2026

The proposal would create a new visa category allowing foreign workers to come to the United States temporarily to work in caregiving jobs, such as caring for elderly people, children, or individuals with disabilities. This would help address labor shortages in the care industry while giving employers access to workers from other countries through a formal legal process. The visa program would affect care facilities, families needing in-home care, and foreign workers seeking caregiving employment in the U.S.

Outdoor Americans with Disabilities Act

The legislation would protect or guarantee public access to certain federal lands, allowing Americans to use these properties for activities like hiking, hunting, or recreation. The bill has been sent to two congressional committees that handle natural resources and agriculture matters to review which parts fall under each committee's responsibility.

Impeaching John McConnell, Jr., Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

A federal judge in Rhode Island would face removal from office if the House of Representatives votes to impeach him based on allegations of serious wrongdoing. The measure has been sent to the House Judiciary Committee for investigation and consideration of whether the charges warrant a full House vote on impeachment. If the House votes to impeach, the case would then go to the Senate for a trial to determine whether the judge should be permanently removed from his position.

Statutory Term Limits on Congressional Pay and Power Act

This bill would establish term limits for members of Congress, restricting how long they can serve in the House and Senate. It would also limit the pay and benefits that members of Congress can receive during their time in office. The proposal affects current and future members of Congress and would change how long elected officials can remain in their positions.

Intelligence Community Inspector General Parity Act of 2026

The proposal would give the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community the power to conduct law enforcement investigations and take enforcement actions, similar to what other federal inspectors general can do. Currently, this office can investigate wrongdoing within intelligence agencies but lacks certain law enforcement tools, so this change would expand its ability to hold intelligence officials accountable. The measure affects how the government's intelligence agencies are overseen and monitored for misconduct.

To redesignate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 2777 Logan Avenue in San Diego, California, as the "Armando Rodriguez Post Office".

A San Diego post office building would be officially renamed after Armando Rodriguez to honor his contributions. The change is purely ceremonial and would not affect how the postal service operates or the mail delivery services available to residents in that area. This type of designation requires congressional approval and is typically done to recognize individuals who have made significant community contributions.

Strategic Unmanned Systems Partnership Act

The legislation would create a formal partnership between the United States and Ukraine to collaborate on military technology and defense innovation, allowing the two countries to share research, expertise, and resources in areas like weapons development and cybersecurity. This working group would help Ukraine strengthen its defense capabilities while potentially giving American defense companies and researchers access to Ukrainian expertise and market opportunities.

This resolution provides for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 8312) to establish fraud prevention and program integrity functions and data sharing authorities within the Department of Treasury and a permanent governmentwide Inspector General for Fraud, Accountability, and Recovery, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 8464) to amend title 31, United States Code, to authorize pausing and segmenting payments, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the resolution (H. Res. 1335) condemning actors seeking to defraud the United States Government, and expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that governmentwide fraud and improper payment prevention reforms will meaningfully improve the financial prosperity of the United States, and that Federal program eligibility should be verified before payment; and providing for consideration of the bill (S. 2) to provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of S. Con. Res. 33.

CONSENT Act

The bill would allow people to sue someone who sends them unwanted sexually explicit images or videos without permission. This would give victims a legal way to seek damages and hold perpetrators accountable for sharing intimate photos or videos without consent, a practice sometimes called "revenge porn" or non-consensual pornography. The measure would affect anyone who sends such images, potentially including ex-partners, hackers, or others who share intimate content to harass or embarrass someone.

Helen Keller Education Act

The proposal would improve special education and support services for children and teenagers who are deafblind, ensuring they receive high-quality education tailored to their unique needs. It affects students with combined hearing and vision loss, their families, schools, and special education providers who work with this population. The bill is currently under review by the House Committee on Education and Workforce.

Cost of Living Tax Cut Act

The proposal would adjust federal income tax rates based on how expensive it is to live in different regions of the country, so that people in high-cost areas like New York City or San Francisco wouldn't pay the same tax rate as people in lower-cost areas. This would mean some workers might owe less in federal taxes if they live in places with higher housing, food, and other living expenses. The change would affect millions of individual taxpayers across the country depending on where they live.

Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2027

Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2027 This bill provides FY2027 appropriations for the Department of the Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and several related agencies. The bill provides appropriations to Interior for the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Park Service, the U.S. Geological Survey, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Bureau of Indian Education, the Bureau of Trust Funds Administration, the U.S. Wildland Fire Service, Departmental Offices, and Department-Wide Programs.

Additionally, the bill sets forth requirements and restrictions for using funds provided by this and other appropriations acts.

Medicaid Financing Clarification Act of 2026

The proposal would clarify how Congress intends for states to finance their Medicaid programs, which provide health insurance to low-income individuals and families. By spelling out Congressional intent in the law, the amendment aims to resolve confusion or disputes about what funding methods and policies states are allowed to use when managing their Medicaid programs. This would affect state governments, Medicaid beneficiaries, and healthcare providers who participate in the program.

MEDIC Careers Act of 2026

Military medics and combat medics would get better help transitioning to civilian healthcare jobs after leaving the armed forces, including assistance with licensing, certification, and job placement with hospitals and clinics. The Defense and Homeland Security departments would work together to streamline the process of converting military medical training into civilian credentials so these experienced healthcare workers can more easily find employment in the private sector. This would help both the military personnel find good jobs after service and address healthcare worker shortages in civilian hospitals and medical facilities.

Maternal Health for Veterans Act

The Department of Veterans Affairs would be required to establish a program to coordinate maternity care services for pregnant veterans and new mothers, ensuring they receive better-organized prenatal, delivery, and postpartum support. This would help pregnant veterans navigate the healthcare system more easily and potentially improve health outcomes for both mothers and babies. The bill is currently under review by the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee.

Hong Kong Equal Treatment Act

The legislation would end special trade and economic privileges that Hong Kong currently receives separately from mainland China, and would impose financial sanctions and travel restrictions on officials and individuals responsible for undermining democratic freedoms and human rights in Hong Kong. This would affect Hong Kong's access to U.S. markets, technology exports, and financial systems, while targeting specific people involved in suppressing protests or limiting civil liberties. The bill aims to pressure the Chinese and Hong Kong governments to respect democratic institutions and individual freedoms in the territory.

OASIS Act of 2026

The Department of Defense would be required to improve how it buys and develops air and missile defense systems, likely by streamlining the process and making it more efficient. This affects military personnel, defense contractors, and taxpayers who fund defense spending, as better acquisition practices could reduce costs and speed up the delivery of new defense technology to the armed forces.

SHRIMP Act of 2026

The federal government would develop a standard way to identify and label where shrimp comes from so consumers and businesses know whether it was caught or farmed domestically or imported from other countries. This affects seafood companies, restaurants, grocery stores, and shoppers who want to know the origin of the shrimp they're buying or selling. The Commerce Department would be responsible for creating this labeling system.

Protecting American Consumers Act

The proposal would guarantee a minimum level of funding for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the federal agency that oversees banks, credit card companies, and other financial institutions to protect consumers from unfair or deceptive practices. Currently, the bureau's budget can fluctuate based on decisions by other agencies, but this change would ensure it receives a set amount of money each year regardless of those decisions. This would affect consumers by potentially strengthening oversight of financial companies and their lending, credit, and banking practices.

National Commission on Robotics Act

The legislation would create a new federal commission to study and make recommendations about robotics technology, including how it affects jobs, safety, and the economy. This commission would bring together experts to examine current robotics developments and advise Congress on policies needed as the technology becomes more widespread in manufacturing, healthcare, and other industries.

CHEERS Act of 2026

Breweries and distilleries that invest in energy-efficient equipment for producing draft beer and spirits would be able to deduct the cost of that equipment over 15 years instead of a longer period, reducing their tax burden more quickly. This change would make it more affordable for alcohol producers to upgrade to environmentally friendly equipment by allowing them to recover their investment faster through tax deductions. The bill primarily benefits small and large breweries and distilleries looking to modernize their operations with energy-saving technology.

READ Act

The bill would improve how schools teach reading by requiring states to use teaching methods backed by scientific research about how people learn to read. It would provide federal funding and support for teacher training programs, research into effective reading instruction, and accountability measures to track whether students are actually improving their reading skills. The changes would affect students, teachers, and school districts across the country.

Abraham Accords Expansion Act of 2026

This bill would change the job responsibilities of a State Department official who works on Middle East peace agreements between Israel and Arab nations. The official would take on new duties related to these normalization agreements and a regional forum called the Negev Forum. The changes would affect how the U.S. government coordinates diplomatic efforts in the Middle East.

Advancing American Wi-Fi Against Foreign Adversaries Act

The bill aims to strengthen America's wireless internet technology and infrastructure to reduce dependence on foreign companies, particularly those from countries considered adversaries. It would likely involve measures to support domestic development of Wi-Fi technology, secure networks against foreign interference, and ensure that critical communications systems remain under American control. This affects technology companies, internet service providers, and consumers who rely on wireless networks.

Ultimate Human Responsibility in Defense Systems Act of 2026

The Department of Defense would be required to ensure that humans make the final decision before autonomous weapons systems use force in combat situations, rather than allowing machines to make those decisions independently. This applies to all military autonomous weapons systems and establishes rules for how the military can develop and deploy these technologies. The bill affects military personnel, defense contractors developing weapons systems, and ultimately the conduct of military operations.

VETRA Act

I don't have enough information to write an accurate summary. The bill title "VETRA Act" and referral to the Veterans' Affairs Committee suggest it relates to veterans, but without the bill's actual text or stated subjects, I cannot determine what specific changes it would make or who it would affect. I'd need access to the bill's summary, purpose statement, or key provisions to provide a factual explanation.

Secure Aluminum Supply Chains Act

The government would be required to investigate whether selling aluminum scrap to certain countries poses a national security risk, since aluminum can be used in military equipment and other sensitive applications. This would affect scrap metal dealers, recycling companies, and manufacturers who currently export these materials, potentially limiting their ability to sell to certain nations. The investigation would help determine if new rules are needed to protect American security interests while managing international trade.

Critical Access Hospital RIP Act of 2026

Critical access hospitals—small rural hospitals that receive special Medicare funding—could lose their special status if nearby roads are improved or transportation infrastructure is upgraded, even though the hospital itself hasn't changed. This bill would prevent that from happening by ensuring that road and infrastructure improvements in the area don't automatically disqualify these hospitals from keeping their critical access designation. This protects rural healthcare facilities and the communities that depend on them from losing federal funding due to circumstances beyond their control.

Closing the Digital Divide for Students Act of 2026

Families living in public housing would be allowed to count the cost of high-speed internet service as part of their utility allowances, similar to how they currently account for electricity and water bills. This change would help low-income residents afford broadband access, which has become increasingly important for school, work, and accessing services. The proposal is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Financial Services.

Foreign Adversary Patent Disclosure Act

The bill would require companies and inventors applying for U.S. patents to disclose any financial connections, ownership stakes, or business relationships they have with China and other countries considered foreign adversaries. The Patent and Trademark Office would use this information to review applications and potentially flag concerns about sensitive technology being developed with foreign involvement. This affects patent applicants, tech companies, and researchers who want to protect their inventions in the United States.

Homeopathic Drug Product Safety, Quality, and Transparency Act

The proposal would change how the federal government regulates homeopathic medicines—products made by diluting substances to very small amounts—which are currently treated differently than standard drugs. The changes would affect how these products are labeled, tested, and approved, potentially bringing them under stricter oversight similar to conventional medications. This would impact manufacturers of homeopathic remedies and consumers who use these products.

Scipio Jones House Assessment Act

The federal government would study whether the Scipio A. Jones House in Little Rock, Arkansas deserves protection as a national historic site or monument. This would involve examining the house's historical significance and determining if it meets the standards for inclusion in the National Park System. The study could eventually lead to federal preservation funding and management of this property.

To require the Secretary of the Interior to transfer to the Secretary of the Navy administrative jurisdiction of certain land located on Adak Island, Alaska, and for other purposes.

The federal government would transfer control of certain land on Adak Island, Alaska from the Interior Department to the Navy, allowing the military to have administrative authority over that property. This change would affect how the land is managed and used, potentially enabling the Navy to develop or utilize the area for military purposes. The bill is currently being reviewed by two congressional committees to determine whether it's a good use of the property.

Protect College Sports Act of 2026

Protect College Sports Act of 2026 This bill establishes requirements for name, image, or likeness (NIL) agreements for college student athletes and provides a limited antitrust exemption for schools and conferences to pool and sell certain college sports media rights. The requirements address elements of the court-approved agreement to settle In re College Athlete NIL Litigation (i.e., House settlement ). First, the bill statutorily prohibits institutions, conferences, or interstate intercollegiate athletic associations (e.g., the National Collegiate Athletic Association [NCAA]) from restricting student athletes from entering NIL agreements (subject to specified limitations). Students must report to their institution NIL compensation greater than $600. The bill requires agents to register with a state and caps agent endorsement contract fees at 5%. The bill also provides student athletes with one transfer without losing athletic eligibility and restricts football personnel from becoming the head football coach at a different institution during the same season. Further, the bill prohibits institutions, conferences, or specified entities acting for the benefit of an institution from providing athletes with compensation that circumvents the limit on sharing revenue with student athletes established under the House settlement. The bill also makes the limit permanent and provides for an annual inflation adjustment. Additionally, the bill establishes (subject to specified conditions) a limited antitrust exemption for institutions or conferences that form joint agreements to transfer their sports telecasting rights to a third party. Such an agreement requires participation from at least 75% of the institutions in the Football Bowl Subdivision.

Protect Our Homes Act

The Small Business Administration would be allowed to provide extra disaster loans to homeowner associations so they can repair shared community areas damaged by disasters and make improvements to prevent future damage. This would help neighborhoods and condo communities recover from hurricanes, floods, fires, and other disasters by giving them access to federal disaster funding that wasn't previously available to them.

Public Lands Integrity Act

Public Lands Integrity Act This bill generally prohibits provisions that result in the sale, disposal, or transfer of federal lands from being included in reconciliation legislation by requiring the provisions to be considered extraneous under the Senate's Byrd Rule. The Senate's Byrd Rule (named after it's principal author, Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia) prohibits the inclusion of matter in reconciliation legislation that is extraneous to a congressional committee's reconciliation directives in the associated congressional budget resolution. Reconciliation is an expedited method by which Congress may adopt changes in spending and revenue laws to achieve the budgetary goals reflected in a congressional budget resolution. Reconciliation bills are considered by Congress using expedited legislative procedures that prevent a filibuster and restrict amendments in the Senate. For additional information, see CRS Report R48640, The Senate’s Byrd Rule: Frequently Asked Questions.

PARKS Act

Licensed foster families would receive free annual passes to use federal recreation areas like national parks and forests, removing the usual entrance fees they currently have to pay. The passes would work the same way as other annual recreation passes but would be granted at no cost to families providing foster care. This would help make outdoor recreation more accessible to foster families and the children in their care.

Encouraging Public Offerings Act of 2026

This bill would make it easier for companies to go public by allowing them to test investor interest in their stock offerings before officially registering with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and to submit draft registration documents confidentially rather than publicly. These changes would give companies more flexibility to prepare for going public while keeping their plans private during early stages, though it could reduce public transparency during the process. The bill primarily affects private companies planning to become publicly traded and the investors who might eventually buy their stock.

Complete America’s Great Trails Act

The proposal would let people and businesses reduce their federal income taxes if they donate land or money to protect scenic trails and conservation areas. This tax break would apply to donations that help preserve trails and natural spaces, giving donors a financial incentive to support conservation efforts. The change would mainly affect wealthy individuals and companies that make charitable donations and own land suitable for conservation.

American White-Collar Worker Jobs Act of 2026

The legislation would make changes to the H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. companies to temporarily hire foreign workers in specialty occupations. The reforms would affect both employers seeking to hire international talent and workers competing for these positions, though the specific changes are under review by the House Judiciary Committee.

Student Loan Refinancing Act of 2026

The bill would allow borrowers with federal student loans to refinance their existing loans, potentially at lower interest rates, which could reduce their monthly payments and total amount paid over time. This would primarily benefit college graduates and current students who are struggling with high loan balances and interest costs. The proposal is currently under review by the House Committee on Education and Workforce.

Prohibiting Adversarial Patents Act of 2026

The proposal would prevent people deemed a threat to national security from obtaining or enforcing patents in the United States, giving the government authority to block patent rights for individuals or entities that pose security risks. This would affect inventors, companies, and foreign nationals seeking patent protection in the U.S. by allowing security agencies to intervene in the patent process when national security concerns arise.

Expressing support for the recognition of June 7, 2026, as "Tourette Syndrome Awareness Day".

The resolution asks Congress to officially recognize June 7, 2026, as "Tourette Syndrome Awareness Day" to help raise public understanding of this neurological condition that causes involuntary movements and sounds. This symbolic recognition would encourage people to learn more about Tourette syndrome and support those living with the condition. The measure has been sent to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform for consideration.

CONSENT Act

I don't have enough information to write an accurate summary. The bill title "CONSENT Act" and subjects listed as "None" don't provide the specific details about what this legislation would do, who it affects, or what problem it addresses. To write a factual summary for a general audience, I would need access to the bill's actual text or a description of its provisions.

Millstone Act

The proposal would make the criminal penalties stricter for people who sexually exploit children, including those who produce, distribute, or possess child sexual abuse material. Law enforcement agencies and prosecutors would have stronger tools to punish these crimes more severely. The changes would affect anyone convicted of child exploitation offenses and aim to deter these crimes and protect children from abuse.

Diplomatic Reserve Corps Pilot Program Act of 2026

The proposal would create a test program that maintains a group of trained diplomats who can be quickly called upon to work at U.S. embassies and diplomatic missions around the world when needed. This reserve corps would help the State Department respond faster to staffing shortages, emergencies, or unexpected diplomatic needs without having to hire and train new people from scratch. The program would affect career diplomats, foreign service officers, and potentially improve how the U.S. handles international relations and crisis situations.

No Safe Haven for Terrorist Families Act

The proposal would make it harder for close family members of designated foreign terrorists to enter or stay in the United States by creating a new legal reason to deny them entry or immigration benefits. This would affect people trying to immigrate or visit the country who have relatives involved in terrorist organizations abroad. The measure is currently being reviewed by the House Judiciary Committee.

National Diabetes Project Act

The proposal would create a national program to improve diabetes prevention, treatment, and research across the United States. It would coordinate efforts among federal agencies, healthcare providers, and researchers to better understand the disease and help the millions of Americans living with or at risk for diabetes. The program aims to reduce the burden of diabetes on patients, families, and the healthcare system.

SAVE America Through REAL ID Act

The federal government would create a grant program to help states provide free identification cards that meet national security standards to people with low incomes. This would make it easier for low-income individuals to get the IDs they need for voting, traveling, or other purposes without paying fees. States would receive federal funding to cover the costs of issuing these compliant identification cards to eligible residents.

Expanded Consular Fellows Act of 2026

The State Department would be allowed to extend the appointments of certain consular officials (diplomats who work in U.S. embassies and consulates abroad) from their current length up to eight years, with the possibility of adding two more years if the Foreign Service needs them to stay longer. This would give the State Department more flexibility in managing its diplomatic staff and keeping experienced officials in their positions when necessary. The change primarily affects career diplomats and the operations of U.S. embassies and consulates around the world.

A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Education relating to "Reimagining and Improving Student Education-Federal Student Loan Program Final Regulations".

Congress would reject a new Department of Education rule that changes how the federal student loan program works, preventing the rule from taking effect. The rule, which the Education Department created to reshape student loan policies, would be blocked if Congress votes to disapprove it. This affects millions of student loan borrowers and could impact how they repay their loans and qualify for forgiveness programs.

PKD Cures Act

The federal government would increase funding and support for research into polycystic kidney disease, a genetic disorder that causes cysts to form in the kidneys and can lead to kidney failure. This would help scientists better understand the disease, develop new treatments, and improve outcomes for the roughly 600,000 Americans living with this condition. The funding would support both basic research and clinical studies aimed at finding better ways to slow or stop the disease's progression.

To amend the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025 to exempt certain military installations from guidance regarding the maintenance of the aggregate square footage of facilities of the Department of Defense.

The Department of Defense currently follows rules about how much total building space it maintains across all military bases. This amendment would allow certain military installations to be excused from those space-reduction requirements, giving those specific bases more flexibility in keeping or expanding their facilities. This would primarily affect military personnel, base operations, and how the Pentagon manages its real estate footprint.

WARP Act of 2026

The Department of Defense would be required to study how using artificial intelligence affects soldiers' ability to perform their jobs, maintain their skills, and stay prepared for combat situations. The assessment would examine whether AI tools help or hurt military readiness and whether troops might lose important skills by relying too heavily on automated systems. This would help military leaders understand the real-world impacts of bringing AI technology into combat operations and training.

Protecting America from Chinese Cars Act of 2026

The proposal would ban cars and trucks with internet-connected technology from countries considered U.S. adversaries from being sold or imported into America, protecting national security by preventing foreign governments from potentially accessing vehicle data or controlling vehicles remotely. This would affect car manufacturers, dealerships, and consumers looking to buy vehicles, particularly those from countries like China and Russia. The measure is currently being reviewed by congressional committees to determine how it would work alongside existing trade and security laws.

NEW HORIZON Act

The Department of Defense would test whether it can use commercial companies' data centers and cloud computing services located in space to support military operations and national security missions. This pilot program would evaluate whether these space-based services could help the military process information and run systems more effectively than current methods. The test would determine if this approach is practical and beneficial before the military decides whether to use it more widely.

Expressing strong opposition to the imposition of digital services taxes and other relevant similar measures by other countries that unfairly discriminate against United States companies.

This resolution calls on (1) all other countries to cease and desist from implementing any digital services tax (DST) or similar measure, repeal existing DSTs, and immediately stop unfairly targeting U.S. companies; and (2) U.S. government agencies to use all available methods and resources to protect U.S. companies from the discriminatory effects of DSTs. It also supports appropriate tax and trade tools, including Section 301 investigations into the implementation or proposal of DSTs by any nation. (Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 authorizes the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative to investigate and take action to enforce U.S. rights under trade agreements and respond to certain foreign trade practices.)

Boxing Therapy for Parkinson’s Access Act

Boxing Therapy for Parkinson's Access Act This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to furnish boxing-based exercise classes to veterans who (1) are enrolled in the VA health care system, (2) have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (or a similar movement disorder), and (3) elect to participate in such classes to treat the disease or disorder.

Disaster Communications Coordination and Preparedness Act

The bill would help federal agencies better coordinate and communicate with each other during disasters and emergencies by improving awareness of available communication resources and tools. This would help ensure that first responders, emergency management officials, and other government agencies can quickly share information and coordinate their response efforts when disasters strike. The measure affects federal agencies, emergency responders, and the communities they serve during natural disasters, public health emergencies, and other crises.

Expressing support for the designation of June 5, 2026, as "National Gun Violence Awareness Day" and June 2026 as "National Gun Violence Awareness Month".

This resolution would officially designate June 5, 2026, as National Gun Violence Awareness Day and the entire month of June 2026 as National Gun Violence Awareness Month to draw attention to the public health impacts of gun violence. The designation is largely symbolic and would encourage Americans, organizations, and government agencies to recognize and discuss gun violence prevention during that time. It does not create new laws or policies, but rather expresses congressional support for raising awareness about this issue.

Tiananmen Square Memorial Act of 2026

The bill would create a new street or public space in Washington, D.C. called Tiananmen Square Memorial Boulevard, likely to commemorate the 1989 pro-democracy protests in Beijing. This designation would primarily affect residents and visitors to the nation's capital by adding a named location that serves as a memorial to those historical events.

Ending Double Dealing Act of 2026

The Department of Defense would be banned from hiring consulting firms that also work for certain foreign governments or entities, preventing potential conflicts of interest where a contractor might have divided loyalties. This rule would affect defense contractors and consulting companies that do international business, potentially limiting their ability to work with both the Pentagon and foreign clients simultaneously. The measure aims to protect sensitive military information and ensure that defense consultants prioritize U.S. national security interests.

FRESH Act

The federal government would provide grants to schools to buy and install equipment for storing milk in cafeterias and food service areas. This funding would help elementary and secondary schools improve their ability to keep milk fresh and safe for students who participate in school lunch programs. The money would go to schools that apply for the grants and meet eligibility requirements set by the Department of Agriculture.

Tiananmen Square Memorial Act of 2026

The proposal would create a new street or boulevard in Washington, D.C. named Tiananmen Square Memorial Boulevard to commemorate the 1989 events in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. This would primarily affect residents and visitors to the nation's capital by adding a named location to the city's geography, though the bill's specific details about where this boulevard would be located and what other provisions it contains are not detailed in the available information.

A bill to exempt stinger-steered combinations from a requirement to include warning flags on projecting loads.

Trucks with stinger-steered trailers (a type of semi-truck with an extra axle in the rear) would no longer be required to display warning flags on cargo that sticks out beyond the vehicle's normal width or length. Currently, federal safety rules require all vehicles carrying projecting loads to mark them with flags so other drivers can see the hazard. This change would apply specifically to this particular truck configuration.

A bill to amend title 49, United States Code, to allow the introduction of certain noncompliant motor vehicle equipment in interstate commerce for testing purposes, and for other purposes.

The bill would allow companies to temporarily bring vehicles or vehicle parts that don't meet federal safety and emissions standards into interstate commerce for testing and research purposes. This would let manufacturers and researchers test new technologies and equipment on public roads without having to fully comply with all current regulations during the development phase. The change primarily affects automotive companies, suppliers, and technology developers working on innovative vehicle improvements.

PATH Act

The legislation would encourage people living in federally-assisted public housing to work by potentially offering incentives or adjusting program rules to reward employment. The changes would affect low-income families and individuals who receive housing assistance from the federal government, aiming to increase the percentage of residents who participate in the workforce rather than relying solely on government benefits.

SUSTAIN Act

The military would be prohibited from reducing the number of MQ-9 Reaper drone aircraft units below current levels, protecting jobs at defense contractors and maintaining surveillance and strike capabilities for the armed forces. This affects military personnel, defense workers, and the defense industry that manufactures and maintains these unmanned aircraft. The bill is currently under review by the Armed Services Committee.

Federal Firearms Licensee Protection Act of 2026

The proposal would increase criminal penalties for stealing firearms from licensed gun dealers and manufacturers. Anyone convicted of this theft would face harsher punishments than current law allows, making it a more serious federal crime. This affects gun store owners, manufacturers, and law enforcement agencies trying to prevent stolen weapons from reaching criminals.

Preventing International Surrogacy Exploitation Act

The proposal would ban foreign nationals from creating or using surrogacy agreements in the United States, meaning people from other countries could not hire American women to carry pregnancies for them or enforce any contracts related to such arrangements. This would affect international families seeking surrogacy services, fertility clinics that work with foreign clients, and women who might otherwise serve as surrogates for people living abroad. The bill is currently under review by the House Judiciary Committee.

Defective Firearms Protection Act

This proposal would change federal consumer safety laws to treat firearms like pistols and revolvers the same way they treat other consumer products, subjecting them to safety standards and regulations from the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Currently, firearms are excluded from these consumer product safety rules, meaning they don't have to meet the same safety testing and labeling requirements as toys, electronics, or other household items. The change would affect gun manufacturers and could lead to new safety requirements for firearms sold to the public.

Enhanced Alerts for Missing Loved Ones with Disabilities Act of 2026

The Ashanti Alert system, which helps find missing people, would be expanded to include alerts for missing children and adults with developmental disabilities, Alzheimer's disease, or dementia. This change would allow law enforcement to quickly notify the public through radio, television, and wireless devices when someone with these conditions goes missing, similar to how Amber Alerts work for abducted children. The expansion aims to improve the chances of safely locating vulnerable people who may be at risk due to their medical conditions.

Disapproving the action of the District of Columbia Council in approving the Body-Worn Camera Transparency for Use of Force Temporary Amendment Act of 2026.

Congress would reject a new Washington D.C. law that requires police to release body camera footage when officers use force, preventing the transparency rule from taking effect. The measure affects D.C. residents and police accountability advocates who support public access to videos of police incidents, as well as the D.C. Police Department. If approved, this would block the D.C. Council's decision to make body camera videos more accessible to the public in use-of-force cases.

GUARD Act of 2026

The government would add certain humanoid and four-legged robots to the list of devices that need Federal Communications Commission approval before they can be sold or used in the United States, similar to how cell phones and Wi-Fi equipment are regulated. This would require manufacturers of these types of robots to meet communication standards and get FCC clearance, potentially affecting robotics companies and any businesses or consumers planning to use such robots. The measure is currently under review by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Reaffirming the Nation's commitment to one Nation Under God in the Pledge of Allegiance.

This resolution expresses Congress's support for keeping the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, which was added to the pledge in 1954. The measure reaffirms that the government believes this language should remain part of the pledge recited in schools and public settings across the country. It does not change any laws but serves as a formal statement of congressional intent on this cultural and religious matter.

Recognizing the contributions of academic medicine and observing Academic Medicine Week from June 8 through 12, 2026.

This resolution designates June 8-12, 2026 as Academic Medicine Week to recognize the work of doctors, researchers, and educators at teaching hospitals and medical schools across the country. The measure honors how academic medical centers train the next generation of physicians, conduct medical research, and provide patient care in their communities. No new laws or funding are created; this is primarily a symbolic recognition of the contributions these institutions make to American healthcare and medicine.

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to provide that Congress and the States shall have certain authority to regulate and limit contributions and spending in campaigns for elections for public office, elections for public office, and ballot initiatives and referendums.

This proposed constitutional amendment would give Congress and state governments the power to set limits on how much money people and organizations can contribute to political campaigns and how much candidates and groups can spend on elections and ballot measures. Currently, the Supreme Court has blocked many campaign finance restrictions, so this amendment would override those court decisions and allow lawmakers to regulate campaign money more strictly. The change would affect candidates, political parties, donors, and advocacy groups involved in elections at all levels of government.

Protecting Student Privacy Act

The proposal would prevent federal student aid agencies from sharing personal information that students provide on their financial aid applications with immigration enforcement authorities. This protects students and their families from having their data used for immigration-related investigations or enforcement actions. The change would apply to information like names, addresses, and family details collected through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

DUMP Red Tape Act

The Small Business Administration would set up a hotline where small business owners can report government rules and regulations they believe are unnecessarily burdensome or complicated. The hotline would collect these complaints and help identify which regulations might be causing the most problems for small companies trying to operate. This would give small business owners a direct way to voice concerns about red tape to a federal agency that advocates for their interests.

To promote the availability of certain healthcare information, and for other purposes.

The bill aims to make certain health care information more accessible to the public, though the specific details of what information and how it would be shared are not yet clear from the title alone. The proposal has been sent to three congressional committees that handle health care, labor, and budget matters to review their respective areas of responsibility. Once these committees examine the bill, they will determine whether changes are needed before it moves forward for a full vote.

Sectoral AI Governance Act of 2026

Federal agencies would gain the power to create rules limiting how companies and government offices use artificial intelligence systems that could break laws the agencies are supposed to enforce. For example, the Labor Department could restrict AI hiring tools that discriminate against workers, or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau could regulate algorithms that unfairly deny loans. This would give regulators a clearer way to prevent algorithmic systems from causing illegal discrimination, fraud, or other violations before they happen.

Sergeant Dave Crete FORGOTTEN Veterans Act of 2026

The legislation would expand and improve health benefits and compensation for veterans who were exposed to harmful substances during their military service, such as burn pits, Agent Orange, or other toxic materials. Veterans affected by these exposures would gain better access to medical care, disability payments, and support services to address health problems caused by the exposure. The bill aims to ensure that service members who suffered injuries or illnesses from toxic substances receive the benefits and healthcare they need.

SIMS Act

The bill would make it illegal to create or distribute chatbots and AI programs that simulate minors and engage in sexually explicit conversations or conduct. This would apply to companies and individuals who develop or offer these tools, with the goal of preventing the creation of technology that sexualizes children. The measure has been sent to the Judiciary Committee for review.

Accountability for Government Censorship Act

The proposal would require the Office of Management and Budget to investigate and report to Congress whenever federal employees take actions to suppress or remove lawful speech, such as pressuring social media companies to take down posts or restricting what people can say. The report would document these incidents so Congress can review whether government workers are overstepping their authority in controlling public speech. This affects federal agencies and employees, as well as the public's ability to speak freely without government interference.

CFTC Protection of Information and Data Act of 2026

The proposal would modify rules governing commodity futures markets to protect certain sensitive business information from public disclosure. Companies trading in commodities like oil, grain, and metals would be able to keep some of their trading data confidential rather than having it automatically reported to regulators and the public. The changes would affect traders, agricultural businesses, and energy companies that participate in these markets.

Enhanced Alerts for Missing Loved Ones with Disabilities Act of 2026

The proposal would expand an emergency alert system (called the Ashanti Alert) that helps find missing people to also include alerts for individuals with developmental disabilities, Alzheimer's disease, and dementia. This would allow law enforcement and the public to be notified more quickly when someone with these conditions goes missing, potentially improving search and rescue outcomes. The change affects missing persons cases involving vulnerable populations who may need specialized help when lost.

No Taxpayer Bailouts for Insurrectionists Act of 2026

The legislation would restrict how much money the federal government can spend to settle legal disputes, requiring Congress to approve large settlement payments before they can be made. This would give lawmakers more control over government spending on lawsuits and settlements involving agencies, affecting both taxpayers who fund these payments and individuals or organizations seeking compensation from the government.

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to prohibit any person who has citizenship or nationality of, or otherwise owes allegiance to, a country other than the United States from serving as a Representative or Senator in Congress, a Judge of the Supreme Court or any inferior court, an Ambassador, public Minister or Consul, or any other officer of the United States which requires the advice and consent of the Senate, or the President or Vice President unless the person formally and permanently relinquishes such citizenship, nationality, or allegiance.

This proposed constitutional amendment would require anyone seeking high-level government positions—including Congress members, federal judges, ambassadors, and the President or Vice President—to give up any citizenship or allegiance to other countries before taking office. The change would apply to any role that requires Senate approval or the presidency itself, and would prevent dual citizens from serving in these positions unless they formally renounce their other citizenship. The amendment is currently being reviewed by the House Judiciary Committee.

TDIU Reform Act of 2026

The Department of Veterans Affairs would be given official legal authority to pay disability benefits to veterans who cannot work due to service-connected injuries or illnesses, even if their disability rating might not normally qualify them for such payments. This change would formalize a practice the VA has already been using and ensure veterans with severe disabilities that prevent employment have a clearer path to receiving financial support.

Equal Remedies Act of 2026

This proposal would expand the types of compensation and legal remedies available to workers who win discrimination lawsuits based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, as well as those based on age discrimination. Currently, workers in age discrimination cases can recover less than workers in other discrimination cases, and this bill would make the remedies equal across all types of discrimination claims. The change would affect employees who pursue discrimination cases against their employers in federal court.

Sergeant Dave Crete FORGOTTEN Veterans Act of 2026

The legislation would expand health benefits and support for military veterans who were exposed to harmful substances during their service, such as burn pits, Agent Orange, or other toxic materials. Veterans affected by these exposures would gain access to improved medical care, disability compensation, and other assistance programs to address health problems caused by the exposure. The bill is currently being reviewed by congressional committees that handle veterans' affairs and military matters.

Know Your Rights Act

The legislation would establish new standards and protections for people held in government custody, including those in federal detention facilities and immigration centers. It aims to improve conditions, medical care, and legal rights for detainees while potentially affecting how federal agencies manage their facilities and interact with detained individuals.

Manufacturing Jobs for Veterans Act of 2026

The federal government would create a test program to help veterans find jobs in manufacturing by providing training, support, and incentives to companies that hire them. This pilot program would help veterans transition to civilian work after military service while addressing labor shortages in the manufacturing industry. The program is currently under review by the House Committee on Education and Workforce.

Waiving a requirement of clause 6(a) of rule XIII with respect to consideration of certain resolutions reported from the Committee on Rules.

This resolution provides for the House of Representatives to consider on the same day without a two-thirds vote any resolution reported by the Committee on Rules through the legislative day of June 5, 2026, relating to a measure providing for reconciliation pursuant to title II of S.Con.Res.33. Specifically, the resolution waives a House Rule requiring a two-thirds vote to consider a report from the Committee on Rules on the same day it is presented to the House.

Supporting the designation of June as Family Month.

The proposal would officially recognize June as Family Month across the United States, encouraging Americans to celebrate and strengthen family relationships during that time. While largely symbolic, the designation could prompt schools, workplaces, and communities to organize events and activities that bring families together and highlight the importance of family bonds.

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

This concurrent resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities in Lebanon within seven days of the resolution's adoption. The resolution specifies that it shall not be construed to prevent or limit security cooperation with the Lebanese Armed Forces or the protection of diplomatic facilities.

BLAST Act

Former members of Congress and other elected federal officers would be permanently banned from working as lobbyists trying to influence Congress after they leave office. The ban would apply to anyone who previously served in Congress or held certain elected positions, preventing them from using their insider connections and relationships to advocate for clients' interests on Capitol Hill. This would affect former politicians who might otherwise transition to lobbying careers and the companies or organizations that would hire them.

Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 8646) making appropriations for Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies programs for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2027, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 7726) to amend the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990 to withhold funds from noncompliant States under such Act; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 7892) to amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to require to the Secretary of Education to use an identity fraud detection system to review each FAFSA to determine whether the FAFSA presents a reasonable suspicion of identity fraud; and providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 8872) to amend part A of title IV of the Social Security Act to target funds to low-income families, strengthen program integrity guardrails for State expenditure of funds, require measurement of improper payments, and establish goals for eliminating fraud and improper payments under the program of block grants to States for temporary assistance for needy families, and for other purposes.

Protecting Kids from Creeps Act

The proposal would ban surrogacy agencies from helping arrange surrogate pregnancies with people convicted of sex offenses. This would protect children by preventing individuals with sex crime convictions from becoming parents through surrogacy arrangements, affecting both the agencies that facilitate these contracts and prospective parents with such convictions.

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives in support of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's initiative to transition the United States-Israel relationship toward mutual defense cooperation and joint economic investment, recognizing the contributions of Israel to joint military operations against Iran, and condemning the global rise of antisemitism.

This resolution expresses support for strengthening military and economic partnerships between the United States and Israel, particularly regarding joint operations against Iran, while also calling attention to rising antisemitism worldwide. The measure is non-binding, meaning it states the House's position without creating new laws or requiring any specific government action. It has been referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs for consideration.

To provide a prohibition on certain reductions to MQ-9 aircraft units, and for other purposes.

The military would be prohibited from reducing the number of MQ-9 Reaper drone aircraft units below current levels, protecting jobs at defense contractors and maintaining surveillance and strike capabilities for the armed forces. This affects military personnel, defense workers, and the Department of Defense's ability to manage its fleet of unmanned aircraft.

Espionage Prevention Act

The proposal would prevent U.S. intelligence agencies from providing funding to colleges and universities that have certain types of partnerships or relationships with Chinese entities or organizations. This would affect academic institutions, researchers, and students who rely on intelligence community grants, potentially limiting international research collaborations involving China. The goal appears to be protecting national security by reducing financial ties between American higher education and Chinese organizations that intelligence officials view as security concerns.

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 government would be allowed to continue using a surveillance program that lets intelligence agencies collect communications involving foreign targets without getting individual court warrants, as long as they follow certain procedures to protect Americans' privacy. The program, which is set to expire, would be extended for additional years so spy agencies can monitor suspected foreign threats and their communications. This affects how the FBI, NSA, and other intelligence agencies can conduct surveillance operations and how much oversight Congress and courts have over their activities.

Alice Cogswell and Anne Sullivan Macy Act

Alice Cogswell and Anne Sullivan Macy Act This bill expands special education and related services for children and youth who are deaf, hard of hearing, deafdisabled, blind, visually impaired, or deafblind. For example, the bill requires states to more specifically identify and evaluate children who are deaf, hard of hearing, deafdisabled, blind, visually impaired, or deafblind to better allow for the provision of appropriate services. In addition, a state's closure of a specialized school serving children who are blind or deaf shall result in a reduction of its financial support for special education and related services. The bill also authorizes support, including grants for training special education personnel, to prepare individuals to become qualified teachers and early intervention specialists for children who are deaf, hard of hearing, deafdisabled, blind, visually impaired, or deafblind. Finally, the bill establishes within the Department of Education the Anne Sullivan Macy Center on Visual Disability and Educational Excellence to better support students with visual disabilities receiving special education and related services.

Postal Delivery Accountability Act

The Postal Service would be required to follow recommendations from its internal watchdog office to better track and report on mail routes that aren't being fully delivered to customers. This would help identify problem areas where mail is going undelivered or only partially delivered, and ensure customers and postal leadership are notified when service issues occur. The change aims to improve mail delivery reliability and transparency across the country.

HCBS Anti-Fraud Reporting Act of 2026

The legislation would require states to report suspected fraud and abuse in home and community-based services (HCBS) programs to federal authorities, helping catch cases where providers or recipients misuse Medicaid funds meant for elderly people and those with disabilities. By creating clearer reporting requirements and tracking systems, the bill aims to prevent waste and protect vulnerable people who depend on these services to live independently in their homes rather than institutions. States and healthcare providers would need to establish better monitoring procedures to identify and report suspicious activity.

To require the Postal Service to implement recommendations from the Inspector General of the United States Postal Service for improving identification and notification of undelivered and partially delivered routes, and for other purposes.

The bill would require the U.S. Postal Service to follow recommendations from its Inspector General about better identifying and notifying customers when mail routes aren't fully delivered or have problems. This would help the Postal Service track delivery issues more effectively and keep people informed when their mail isn't reaching them as expected.

Disapproving the action of the District of Columbia Council in approving the Full Accountability in Arrest Reporting Temporary Amendment Act of 2026.

Congress is considering blocking a Washington D.C. law that would require police to report detailed information about arrests, including data on who gets arrested and under what circumstances. If approved, this would overturn the D.C. Council's decision to implement the arrest reporting requirements, preventing the city from collecting and publishing this accountability data. The measure affects D.C. residents, police departments, and anyone interested in tracking law enforcement practices in the nation's capital.

Robert Lodge Medal of Honor Act

The President would be authorized to award the Medal of Honor, the military's highest decoration for bravery, to Robert Lodge for his courageous actions as an Air Force member during the Vietnam War. The Medal of Honor recognizes extraordinary acts of valor in combat that go above and beyond the call of duty. This special authorization allows Congress to formally recognize Lodge's heroic service decades after his actions occurred.

A joint resolution disapproving the action of the District of Columbia Council in approving the Full Accountability in Arrest Reporting Temporary Amendment Act of 2026.

Congress is considering blocking a new Washington D.C. law about how police departments report arrest information, which the D.C. City Council recently approved. If passed, this resolution would overturn that local law and prevent it from taking effect. The measure affects how D.C. police handle and disclose arrest data to the public.

Right to Trial Act

The proposal would prevent judges from imposing significantly harsher sentences on defendants simply because they chose to have a trial rather than accept a plea deal. It aims to protect defendants' constitutional right to trial by making it illegal for prosecutors or judges to penalize someone for exercising that right through substantially longer sentences. This would affect criminal defendants, judges, and prosecutors across the country's court system.

DHS Release Transparency Act

The Department of Homeland Security would be required to publicly report information about individuals it releases from custody, including their names, charges, and reasons for release. This would give Congress and the public more transparency into DHS decisions about who is released and under what circumstances. The bill affects immigration enforcement practices and how the government communicates about border security and detention decisions.

Secure and Accountable Military AI Act of 2026

The Department of Defense would be required to establish safeguards and oversight procedures for how it develops and uses artificial intelligence systems, ensuring these tools are tested for safety and bias before deployment. The bill would create accountability measures so military leaders can track how AI is being used in decision-making and operations, protecting both national security and the rights of people affected by these automated systems.
