The federal government would be required to offer medication-assisted treatment for opioid addiction to women in federal prisons, using FDA-approved medications like methadone or buprenorphine to help them manage their addiction. This would affect incarcerated women in the federal prison system who struggle with opioid dependence and would give them access to medical treatment that has been shown to reduce relapse rates and improve outcomes. The Bureau of Prisons would need to implement these treatment programs as part of their healthcare services.

Fiscal Sponsorship Transparency Act of 2026

The proposal would require organizations that act as fiscal sponsors—nonprofits that handle money and paperwork for smaller groups—to disclose more information about their fees, services, and how they use funds. This increased transparency would help donors, grantmakers, and the smaller organizations themselves understand exactly what they're paying for and how their money is being managed. The measure primarily affects nonprofit organizations and the donors who support them.

To amend the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 to establish additional requirements relating to claims and appeals.

The proposal would add new rules for how retirement and health insurance plans must handle when workers or beneficiaries file complaints or disagree with decisions about their benefits. These changes would likely give people more time and clearer procedures to challenge denied claims, making it easier for workers and retirees to get their benefits disputes resolved fairly.

Could you provide the bill number, summary text, or key provisions?

Biomass Facility Construction Act

The legislation would provide tax incentives and financial support to help companies build new facilities that convert biomass—organic materials like wood waste, agricultural residue, and other plant-based materials—into energy or fuel. This would affect energy companies, construction workers, and rural communities that produce agricultural and forestry waste, potentially creating jobs while promoting renewable energy alternatives to fossil fuels.

D.C. Taxing Authority Review Act

This bill would give Congress the power to review and potentially block tax increases that Washington D.C.'s local government tries to impose on residents and businesses. The measure affects D.C. residents and companies operating in the nation's capital by requiring federal approval before local tax changes can take effect. It essentially limits the District's ability to raise taxes without congressional oversight.

Streamlining Military Infrastructure Act

The legislation would give the Department of Defense more flexibility to manage and modernize military bases and facilities without going through lengthy approval processes for each individual project. This would allow the military to respond faster to changing needs, reduce maintenance backlogs, and potentially save money on infrastructure repairs and upgrades. The changes would primarily affect military personnel, defense contractors, and communities near military installations.

Impeaching John Edwin Steele, Senior District Judge for the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

Congress is considering removing Senior District Judge John Edwin Steele from his position in the Middle District of Florida based on allegations of serious misconduct. If approved by the House and Senate, this would end his federal judgeship and bar him from holding future federal office. The case has been sent to the House Judiciary Committee for investigation and consideration.

A resolution commemorating the tenth anniversary of the 2016 West Virginia floods.

This resolution honors the tenth anniversary of the devastating 2016 floods that struck West Virginia, recognizing the disaster's impact on the state and its communities. The measure acknowledges the recovery efforts and resilience of West Virginia residents who were affected by the flooding. The Senate unanimously approved this commemorative resolution.

To amend title 49, United States Code, to prescribe safety standards for autocycles and related equipment, and for other purposes.

The proposal would establish federal safety standards for autocycles—three-wheeled vehicles that combine features of motorcycles and cars—and their equipment to ensure they meet consistent safety requirements across the country. This would affect manufacturers who build these vehicles and consumers who purchase them, as companies would need to comply with the new standards before selling autocycles. The legislation aims to clarify how autocycles should be regulated and what safety features they must include.

A bill to amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to require ballots in elections for Federal office to be received by the close of the polls on the date of election.

This bill would change voting rules so that mail-in ballots must arrive at election offices by the time polls close on Election Day to be counted in federal elections, rather than allowing ballots that arrive after Election Day to be counted. The change would affect voters who use mail-in ballots, election officials who process them, and potentially the outcomes of close races where late-arriving ballots currently matter. States would need to update their ballot-counting procedures to comply with this earlier deadline.

A resolution celebrating the historic significance of the 2026 Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) World Cup and welcoming the international community to North America for the first tournament hosted by 3 nations.

Congress is formally recognizing the 2026 FIFA World Cup as a historic event and welcoming the international soccer community to North America, where the tournament will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico for the first time with three nations sharing hosting duties.

Congress is asking the President and the Secretary of Health and Human Services to provide documents explaining why federal payments for welfare assistance, child care support, and social services were frozen for California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York. The request seeks to understand the reasons behind this freeze and what impact it had on these states' ability to help low-income families and children. This would help lawmakers determine whether the freeze was justified and what steps should be taken next.

TEACH Improvement Act of 2026

The proposal would change the rules for TEACH grants, which provide money to students who agree to teach in high-need schools or subject areas after graduation. The changes would likely adjust how these grants work, who qualifies for them, or what obligations recipients must fulfill, though the specific modifications would affect both students pursuing teaching careers and schools struggling to fill teaching positions in critical subjects.

To limit the total number of schedule C and schedule G positions in the Federal Government, and for other purposes.

The proposal would cap the total number of high-level federal positions (Schedule C and Schedule G roles) that can exist across all government agencies, potentially reducing the size of the executive branch workforce. These positions are typically filled by presidential appointees and senior staff rather than career civil servants, so the bill would limit how many political appointees agencies can hire. The change would affect federal agencies and their operations, though the specific impact would depend on what the cap is set at.

To amend the Commodity Exchange Act to authorize certain treatment of customer property during commodity broker bankruptcy.

When a commodity broker goes bankrupt, this proposal would clarify how customer money and investments held by that broker should be handled and protected. The change aims to ensure that customers' funds are treated fairly and recovered as quickly as possible during the bankruptcy process, rather than being tied up in lengthy legal disputes. This affects people and businesses who trade commodities like oil, grain, and metals through brokers.

Tariff Impacted Farmer Support Act of 2026

The federal government would provide direct payments to farmers and agricultural producers who experienced revenue losses on major crops like corn, soybeans, wheat, and cotton due to specified circumstances. These payments would help offset income that producers lost when their crop revenues fell below expected levels, supporting farm families and rural communities during difficult economic periods. The Agriculture Department would handle determining which producers qualify and distributing the assistance funds.

Medicare-X Choice Act of 2026

The proposal would create a new government-run health insurance option that Americans could choose as an alternative to private insurance plans. This public plan would compete with existing insurance companies and could help reduce healthcare costs for individuals and families who enroll in it. The plan would affect millions of Americans seeking health coverage, insurance companies, and healthcare providers across the country.

To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to modify certain physician payments under the Medicare program.

The proposal would change how Medicare pays doctors for their services, adjusting the payment rates or methods that physicians receive when treating Medicare patients. These changes could affect both the doctors who provide care and the seniors and disabled individuals who rely on Medicare for their healthcare coverage. The bill is currently being reviewed by two congressional committees to determine how it would impact the healthcare system.

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States should ratify the Rome Statute and join the International Criminal Court.

The House is expressing its opinion that the United States should join the International Criminal Court, a global organization that prosecutes individuals for serious crimes like genocide and war crimes. This is a non-binding statement of support rather than a law that would directly change policy, and it has been sent to the Foreign Affairs and Judiciary committees for review. If adopted, it would signal congressional backing for the U.S. to ratify the Rome Statute, the treaty that established the court.

Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R.185) to advance responsible policies.

I don't have enough information to write an accurate summary. The bill title "to advance responsible policies" is too vague, and no subjects are listed. To provide a meaningful explanation of what this bill would actually do and who it affects, I would need the bill's actual text or more specific details about its content.

To provide transparency in short-term rental listings, and for other purposes.

The legislation would require short-term rental platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo to clearly disclose important information to renters, such as total fees, taxes, and cancellation policies before they book a property. This transparency measure aims to help travelers make informed decisions and prevent hidden charges from appearing only after they've committed to a reservation. The bill would affect vacation rental companies and the millions of Americans who book short-term accommodations each year.

To prohibit aliens who are nationals of certain countries of identified concern from entering the United States, and for other purposes.

The proposal would ban people from certain countries that the government identifies as security concerns from entering the United States. This would affect foreign nationals trying to visit, work, or immigrate to the country, as well as potentially impact travel, business, and family connections between the U.S. and those nations. The bill is currently under review by the House Judiciary Committee.

To require the Secretary of the Army to issue guidance relating to the review of applications for alteration or temporary or permanent occupation or use of certain hydropower projects, and for other purposes.

The Army Secretary would be required to create clear guidelines for how the government reviews requests from companies or individuals who want to alter, temporarily use, or permanently occupy hydropower dams and related water projects. This would establish a standardized process to help speed up decisions and make the review system more transparent for dam operators, energy companies, and other parties seeking to modify or use these facilities. The measure aims to reduce confusion and delays in the approval process for changes to these important energy and water management infrastructure projects.

To remove the United States from the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank Group, or the Asian Development Bank if such an institution assists in providing debt relief to the People's Republic of China, and for other purposes.

The bill would require the United States to withdraw from the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, or Asian Development Bank if any of these organizations provide debt relief to China. This would affect American participation in major international financial institutions that help developing countries and manage global economic stability. The measure reflects concerns about U.S. involvement in institutions that might assist China's financial situation.

To protect the national security of the United States by strengthening review of foreign adversary investments in the general aviation sector, and for other purposes.

The proposal would give the government stronger authority to review and block investments in small aircraft companies and general aviation businesses if those investments come from foreign countries considered adversaries to the United States. This would help prevent potentially hostile nations from gaining access to aviation technology or infrastructure that could pose security risks. The measure affects aircraft manufacturers, aviation companies, and foreign investors interested in the U.S. aviation sector.

Advanced Coursework Equity Act

The proposal would require schools to identify and remove barriers that prevent students from lower-income backgrounds and certain racial or ethnic groups from enrolling in advanced classes like gifted programs and honors courses. Schools would need to use fair methods to identify talented students across all communities rather than relying only on traditional testing, and would have to track whether advanced programs are becoming more diverse. The changes would affect elementary and secondary school students, teachers, and administrators working to expand access to challenging coursework.

Honoring the life and military and public service of Colonel Lindsey O. Graham, United States Air Force Reserve (Retired), late Senator from South Carolina, and expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Judge Advocate General's School of the United States Air Force should be renamed in his honor.

This resolution honors the military and public service of Senator Lindsey Graham and proposes renaming the Air Force's Judge Advocate General's School after him. The measure is a ceremonial tribute to Graham's career as a retired Air Force officer and his decades of service in the U.S. Senate representing South Carolina. If approved, the military law school would carry his name to recognize his contributions to both the armed forces and Congress.

To amend the Epstein Files Transparency Act with respect to enforcement by an attorney general of a State, and for other purposes.

The proposal would modify how state attorneys general can enforce the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which deals with the release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein's case. This change would give state law enforcement officials additional authority or tools to pursue violations of transparency requirements in their own states. The bill is currently under review by the House Judiciary Committee.

To permit the use of artificial intelligence in arbitration, and for other purposes.

The proposal would allow companies and individuals to use artificial intelligence tools to help resolve disputes through arbitration, which is a private alternative to going to court. This could speed up and potentially lower the cost of settling disagreements between businesses, employers and workers, or consumers and companies, though it raises questions about whether AI systems can fairly evaluate complex legal arguments and evidence.

Supporting the efforts of the Trump Administration to obtain a rehearing of the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in Trump v. Barbara, and for other purposes.

The proposal would support the Trump Administration's legal efforts to ask the Supreme Court to reconsider its decision in the Trump v. Barbara case. This would allow the administration to present new arguments or evidence in hopes of changing the Court's original ruling on the matter.

Drug Deal Disclosure Act

The government would be required to publicly release documents and communications about drug pricing agreements it has made with pharmaceutical manufacturers, including deals involving "most favored nation" pricing where the government pays the same price as other countries. This would give patients, lawmakers, and the public visibility into how the government negotiates drug prices and what deals it strikes behind closed doors. The measure affects pharmaceutical companies, federal health agencies, and anyone who buys or pays for prescription drugs.

Daughters of the American Revolution Membership Integrity Act.

The proposal would update the official federal charter of the Daughters of the American Revolution organization to make clearer who is eligible to become a member.

To amend title XIX of the Social Security Act to provide coverage under the Medicaid program for services provided by doulas, midwives, and lactation support providers, and for other purposes.

The proposal would expand Medicaid coverage to include services from doulas (birth coaches), midwives, and lactation consultants who help pregnant women and new mothers. This would allow low-income pregnant women and families covered by Medicaid to access these services without paying out of pocket, potentially improving access to maternal and infant health support during pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding.

Improving Access to Transfusion Care for Hospice Patients Act of 2026

Medicare currently bundles the cost of blood transfusions into the flat daily payment hospice providers receive, meaning transfusions don't generate additional reimbursement. This bill would require the government to test whether allowing separate payment for blood transfusions would improve access to this treatment for dying patients in hospice care. The test would help determine if unbundling this service encourages hospice providers to offer transfusions when medically appropriate.

To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to adjust the applicability of the income related monthly adjustment amount to premiums under part B of Medicare.

The proposal would change how Medicare Part B premiums are calculated for higher-income seniors, adjusting the rules about when wealthier beneficiaries have to pay extra charges on top of their regular premiums. Currently, Medicare uses income thresholds from two years prior to determine these surcharges, and this bill would modify that system in ways that could affect what seniors pay depending on their income level. The change would primarily impact higher-income Medicare beneficiaries and could alter how much they contribute to the program.

Condemning Omar Suleiman for celebrating the death of Senator Lindsey Graham and acknowledging that House Democrats invited him to serve as the Guest Chaplain of the U.S. House of Representatives in 2019.

The measure expresses disapproval of Suleiman's statements while documenting the Democratic leadership's decision to extend the chaplaincy invitation to him several years ago. The resolution is currently under review by the House Committee on House Administration.

Recognizing the need to improve physical access to many federally funded facilities for all persons of the United States, particularly persons with disabilities.

The federal government would be required to improve physical access at buildings and facilities it funds or operates so that people with disabilities can enter and move around more easily. This would affect federal buildings, hospitals, schools, transportation hubs, and other public facilities across the country, making them more accessible through changes like ramps, elevators, accessible bathrooms, and parking spaces. The goal is to ensure that all Americans, especially those with disabilities, can use these federally-funded spaces without barriers.

Reshoring American Manufacturing Act of 2026

The Small Business Administration would be required to create and maintain a website to help small manufacturers find information and resources about moving their production operations back to the United States. This resource would serve as a central hub for small business owners interested in onshoring—bringing manufacturing jobs and facilities back from overseas—by providing them with relevant guidance and support options. The measure aims to make it easier for small manufacturers to access government assistance and information related to domestic production.

To improve the quality, appropriateness, and effectiveness of diagnosis in health care, and for other purposes.

The legislation aims to enhance how doctors diagnose diseases and medical conditions by improving diagnostic accuracy, reducing unnecessary tests, and ensuring patients receive appropriate care based on their actual health needs.

A bill to regulate compressed air dusters to prevent inhalant abuse.

The legislation would restrict the sale and use of compressed air dusters (canned air products) by requiring age verification for purchases, similar to restrictions on other inhalant products, to prevent people—particularly young people—from abusing them to get high. Retailers would need to follow new rules about how these products are displayed and sold, and violators could face penalties. The goal is to reduce inhalant abuse, which can cause serious health problems including brain damage and sudden death.

A bill to amend the Epstein Files Transparency Act with respect to enforcement by an attorney general of a State.

The bill would allow state attorneys general to enforce the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which deals with making certain documents related to Jeffrey Epstein publicly available. Currently, the law may only be enforceable by federal authorities, so this change would give state officials the power to pursue violations and ensure compliance. This would affect states' ability to independently hold parties accountable for failing to disclose relevant records.

A bill to improve access to Federal services by individuals with limited English proficiency, and for other purposes.

The federal government would be required to provide translation services and materials in multiple languages to help people with limited English proficiency access government programs and services like Social Security, Medicare, and immigration benefits.

This bill aims to strengthen border security and control immigration by addressing concerns about criminal activity, terrorism, and labor market competition. It would affect immigrants, workers competing for jobs, border enforcement agencies, and communities near the border by implementing stricter immigration policies and enforcement measures. The specific details of how these goals would be achieved are under review by the Judiciary Committee.

A bill to set forth requirements for the regulation by the Food and Drug Administration of nitrous oxide products, and for other purposes.

The Food and Drug Administration would establish new rules for how nitrous oxide products are sold and used, including requirements for labeling, safety standards, and oversight of manufacturers and distributors. This would affect companies that produce or sell nitrous oxide for medical, industrial, or recreational purposes, as well as consumers who use these products. The bill aims to ensure these products meet safety requirements and are properly regulated to prevent misuse.

A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide for credits against tax for domestic manufacturing of critical medical supplies and drugs.

The proposal would give tax breaks to American companies that manufacture critical medical supplies and drugs domestically instead of importing them from other countries. These tax credits would reduce the amount of federal income taxes that qualifying manufacturers owe, potentially making it cheaper for them to produce medicines and medical equipment in the United States. The goal is to encourage domestic production of essential medical products and reduce reliance on foreign manufacturing.

A bill to provide for the protection of agricultural workers, and for other purposes.

The legislation would establish new protections for farmworkers, likely including standards for working conditions, wages, and safety on agricultural operations. It would affect millions of workers employed in farming and food production across the country, as well as the agricultural businesses that employ them.

A bill to amend the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 to ensure workplace choice and opportunity for young adults with disabilities.

The proposal would change federal rules to give young adults with disabilities more freedom in choosing their own jobs and career paths, rather than being limited to certain government-approved work programs. It aims to expand opportunities for people with disabilities to work in regular community jobs alongside non-disabled coworkers, with the support and accommodations they need to succeed.

A bill to amend the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to address registration exemptions for securities of issuers that are rural telephone companies, and for other purposes.

The bill would modify rules that allow rural telephone companies to sell securities without going through the full registration process normally required by the Securities and Exchange Commission. This change would make it easier for smaller telephone companies serving rural areas to raise money by issuing stocks or bonds while still maintaining investor protections. The measure affects rural telecommunications companies and investors who purchase their securities.

A bill to amend title II of the Social Security Act to eliminate work disincentives for childhood disability beneficiaries.

Young people who receive Social Security benefits because of disabilities would be allowed to earn more money from work without losing their benefits, removing financial penalties that currently discourage them from employment. Currently, beneficiaries face strict limits on how much they can earn before their monthly payments are reduced or cut off entirely. This change would help disabled youth transition into the workforce and become more financially independent.

A bill to regulate market concentration and competition in the food and agriculture industry, and for other purposes.

The legislation would give the federal government stronger tools to prevent large companies from dominating the food and agriculture industry, potentially blocking mergers or breaking up existing companies that reduce competition and harm farmers or consumers. The bill aims to address concerns that a few massive corporations control too much of the market for seeds, meat processing, grain handling, and other agricultural sectors, which can lead to higher prices for shoppers and lower prices paid to farmers. The measure is currently under review by the Senate Agriculture Committee.

A bill to prohibit certain transfers of aircraft provided by the Government of Qatar, and for other purposes.

The legislation would prevent the transfer or sale of military aircraft that the U.S. government has provided to Qatar, restricting how Qatar can use or redistribute these planes. This affects the Defense Department's ability to manage military aid agreements and could impact U.S.-Qatar military cooperation and regional security arrangements in the Middle East.

A bill to direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish a precision oncology program for cancer of the prostate at the Department of Veterans Affairs, and for other purposes.

The Department of Veterans Affairs would create a specialized program to study and treat prostate cancer using precision medicine, which tailors treatment to each patient's specific cancer characteristics.

The initiative aims to improve outcomes for the thousands of veterans diagnosed with this disease each year.

A bill to promote equity in advanced coursework and programs at elementary and secondary schools.

The bill aims to increase access to advanced academic programs like gifted education and honors courses for students from underrepresented groups, including low-income students and students of color. It would likely require schools to review their enrollment practices, reduce barriers to entry, and work to ensure these challenging courses are available to a broader range of students rather than concentrated among already-privileged groups. This would affect students, teachers, school administrators, and families seeking equal opportunities in quality education.

Mamas First Act

The proposal would expand Medicaid coverage to include services from doulas (birth coaches), midwives, and lactation consultants who help pregnant women and new mothers. This would allow low-income pregnant women and families covered by Medicaid to access these support services without paying out of pocket. The change aims to improve maternal and infant health outcomes by making these services more accessible to people who might not otherwise afford them.

A bill to restore competition in online search and digital advertising markets, to prevent exclusionary conduct by covered platforms, and for other purposes.

This legislation would limit the power of major tech companies that dominate online search and advertising by preventing them from using their market position to unfairly block competitors or favor their own services. The rules would apply to large digital platforms and aim to make it easier for smaller companies and startups to compete in these markets. Consumers could potentially benefit from more choices and innovation in search engines and online advertising services.

A bill to authorize the President of the United States to issue cyber letters of marque and reprisal, and for other purposes.

This bill would allow the President to authorize private individuals and companies to conduct cyberattacks against foreign targets in response to cyberattacks against the United States, similar to historical "letters of marque" that allowed privateers to attack enemy ships. The measure would essentially create a legal framework for government-sanctioned hacking operations carried out by non-government actors, affecting cybersecurity companies, tech firms, and potentially exposing the U.S. to international legal disputes. The bill is currently under review by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

A bill to direct the Secretary of Energy to establish an extremophile whole genome sequencing initiative, and for other purposes.

The Department of Energy would launch a research program to map the complete genetic codes of extremophile organisms—creatures that survive in extreme environments like hot springs, frozen tundra, or highly acidic conditions. Scientists and biotechnology companies could use this genetic information to develop new materials, medicines, and industrial processes inspired by how these organisms function. The initiative would advance scientific understanding while potentially creating practical applications in fields like medicine, manufacturing, and environmental cleanup.

McCarty and Heideman Air Safety Enhancement Act

The Federal Aviation Administration would be required to review and update its rules and guidelines for aircraft operating at low altitudes to improve safety in that airspace. This affects drone operators, helicopter pilots, and other aircraft users who fly at lower elevations, as well as people and property on the ground that could be impacted by low-altitude flights. The changes could result in new or modified regulations that make low-altitude airspace operations safer and clearer for everyone involved.

A bill to require the Secretary of the Army to issue guidance relating to the review of applications for alteration or temporary or permanent occupation or use of certain hydropower projects, and for other purposes.

The Army Secretary would have to create clear rules for how the government reviews requests from companies or individuals who want to change, temporarily use, or permanently use existing hydropower dams and water projects. This would make the approval process more consistent and transparent for businesses and organizations that depend on these facilities for power generation or water management. The bill affects hydropower companies, dam operators, and anyone seeking to modify how these water projects are used.

Cyber Letters of Marque and Reprisal Act

The proposal would allow the President to authorize private individuals and companies to conduct offensive cyber operations against foreign targets in response to cyberattacks on the United States, similar to historical "letters of marque" that allowed privateers to attack enemy ships. This would essentially create a legal framework for government-sanctioned private hackers to retaliate against foreign cyber threats without those individuals facing criminal charges. The measure affects cybersecurity professionals, technology companies, and international relations, though it raises questions about oversight, accountability, and compliance with international law.

A bill to amend the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 to require a group health plan (or health insurance coverage offered in connection with such a plan) to provide for cost-sharing for oral anticancer drugs on terms no less favorable than the cost-sharing provided for anticancer medications administered by a health care provider.

The bill would require employer health insurance plans to charge patients the same out-of-pocket costs for cancer drugs taken by mouth as they do for cancer drugs given by injection or infusion at a doctor's office. This change would help cancer patients afford oral medications, which are increasingly common treatments but are sometimes more expensive for patients to pay for than traditional IV treatments. The bill affects workers and their families who get health insurance through their employers.

A bill to amend the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 to prohibit the use of authorities under such Act to surveil United States persons and to prohibit the use of information acquired under such Act in any criminal, civil, or administrative proceeding or as part of any criminal, civil, or administrative investigation.

The government would be banned from using special surveillance powers designed for foreign intelligence gathering to monitor American citizens, and any information collected through these powers could not be used as evidence in any court case or investigation. This would significantly restrict law enforcement and intelligence agencies' ability to use these surveillance tools domestically, even when investigating crimes or national security threats involving U.S. persons. The change would apply to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which currently allows some domestic surveillance under certain circumstances.

To establish the Ratepayer Justice Fund and a Federal process to reimburse ratepayers and communities harmed by utility and utility executive misconduct, including corruption, and to hold accountable those responsible for such misconduct, and for other purposes.

The bill would create a federal fund to compensate utility customers and communities that have suffered financial losses or harm due to misconduct by electric, gas, or water companies and their executives, such as corruption or negligence. It would also establish a process to investigate these cases and hold responsible company leaders accountable for their actions. The proposal affects millions of utility customers across the country who pay for electricity, natural gas, and water services.

Facial Recognition to Protect Children Act

Online gambling and betting platforms would be required to use facial recognition technology to verify that users are old enough to legally gamble, helping prevent minors from accessing these sites. The requirement would apply to all companies operating wagering or prediction market platforms, which are websites where people bet money on sports, elections, or other events. This measure aims to strengthen age verification protections beyond current methods like entering a birthdate.

To prohibit Federal law enforcement agencies from using or accessing State or local surveillance equipment or data to circumvent warrant requirements, to establish a Jurisdictional Wall List of covered technologies, and for other purposes.

Federal law enforcement agencies would be prohibited from using surveillance equipment or data collected by state and local police—such as cameras, license plate readers, or facial recognition systems—without getting a warrant first. The bill would create a list of covered surveillance technologies to clarify which tools fall under this restriction, preventing federal agencies from bypassing warrant requirements by accessing information that local authorities have already gathered. This would limit how federal agencies like the FBI can access surveillance data without judicial approval.

A bill to require the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration to review and update Federal Aviation Administration regulations, policies, and guidance related to low-altitude airspace safety, and for other purposes.

The FAA would be required to review and update its rules, policies, and guidance for safety in low-altitude airspace, which is the airspace closer to the ground where small aircraft, drones, and helicopters operate. This review could lead to new or revised regulations to address potential safety issues in this airspace. The changes would affect drone operators, small aircraft pilots, and other users of low-altitude airspace.

Warriors to Workforce Act of 2026

This bill would increase the amount of money the Department of Veterans Affairs pays to veterans during their first year of apprenticeship or on-the-job training programs. Veterans pursuing hands-on career training would receive higher educational assistance benefits to help cover costs during that initial year. The change aims to make it more affordable for veterans to transition into skilled trades and other career paths through apprenticeships.

Water Emergency and Technical Assistance Act

The proposal would provide funding and technical support to help communities deal with drinking water and water pollution emergencies, such as contaminated water supplies or sewage system failures. It updates existing federal water safety laws to ensure that local governments and water systems have access to expert assistance and money when water-related crises occur. The bill affects water utilities, local governments, and residents who depend on safe drinking water and clean waterways.

MARA Act of 2026

The federal government would create a program to test and evaluate large-scale fish farming operations in ocean waters through demonstration projects, while also establishing research centers focused on aquaculture expertise and funding programs to train workers for jobs in this industry. The bill aims to help develop sustainable seafood production at sea and support coastal communities that depend on fishing and water-based economies. NOAA, the ocean and weather agency, would oversee these initiatives.

Safeguard Kids Act

Schools would be able to teach students in elementary and secondary grades about how artificial intelligence works, what risks it poses, and how to use it responsibly. The bill aims to help young people understand both the benefits and dangers of AI technologies they're increasingly encountering in their daily lives. This would give educators resources and support to include AI literacy in their curriculum alongside traditional subjects.

AIR CARE for Vets Act of 2026

The Department of Veterans Affairs would test new imaging software that creates detailed 3D pictures of how lungs function to help doctors spot breathing problems and lung diseases in veterans more accurately. This pilot program would allow the VA to evaluate whether this advanced technology can improve how respiratory conditions are diagnosed and treated for veterans seeking care. The program would help determine if this tool should become a standard part of veteran healthcare services.

7(a) Program Risk Oversight Act

The legislation would change how the Small Business Administration's credit risk office reports its activities each year, likely requiring different information or a different format in their annual reports to Congress. These changes could affect how small business owners and lenders understand the risks associated with federal small business loans and loan guarantees. The bill is still in early stages and has been sent to the House Committee on Small Business for review.

Fair Seeds for Farmers Act

The proposal would reduce the legal protections that plant breeders and seed companies currently have for developing new plant varieties, making it easier for farmers and competitors to use or reproduce these plants without permission. This change would affect agricultural companies, seed producers, and farmers by potentially lowering costs for seeds but reducing the financial incentive for companies to invest in developing improved crop varieties. The measure is currently under review by the House Judiciary Committee.

STOP Senior Fraud Act

Banks and other financial institutions would be allowed to pause or block transactions they suspect might be exploiting elderly people or other vulnerable adults, such as those with cognitive impairments. The law would protect these institutions from legal liability when they take such actions in good faith to prevent financial abuse. This gives financial companies a tool to help prevent scams and fraud targeting seniors and vulnerable populations.

High Court Gift Ban Act

Federal judges would be banned from accepting gifts worth more than $50 at a time or $100 total per year from any source, with some exceptions allowed. The rule aims to prevent judges from being influenced by gifts that could create conflicts of interest or the appearance of impropriety. This would apply to all federal judges and help maintain public trust in the impartiality of the courts.

United States Coast Guard Corrosion Control Assistance Team Pilot Program Act

The Coast Guard would launch a test program to help its local units prevent and manage rust and corrosion damage on equipment and facilities. This assistance would help reduce maintenance costs and extend the lifespan of Coast Guard assets like ships, buildings, and other infrastructure. The program would allow the Coast Guard to identify the most effective corrosion prevention methods before potentially expanding them service-wide.

Grad Student Affordable Housing Act of 2026

The federal government would create a new program to help graduate students afford housing through the Department of Housing and Urban Development. This assistance would make it easier for students pursuing advanced degrees to find affordable places to live while they study. The program would affect graduate students across the country who struggle with housing costs while completing their education.

K–9 Hero Act of 2026

The federal government would create a grant program to help pay for veterinary care costs for retired dogs that previously worked for federal agencies, such as military or law enforcement dogs.

The program aims to support people caring for these working dogs during their retirement years.

Securing Healthcare and Income Entitlements for Lawfully Domiciled Citizens (SHIELD Citizens) Act

The proposal would change federal welfare programs to limit benefits only to U.S. citizens, preventing non-citizens from receiving assistance through programs like food stamps, housing aid, and cash welfare. This would affect both immigrants and the organizations that help distribute these benefits, potentially reducing the number of people eligible to receive government support. The bill has been sent to multiple congressional committees for review.

FARM AI Act of 2026

The proposal would expand the Department of Agriculture's programs to help farmers and rural communities gain better access to artificial intelligence tools and technology. This could help agricultural businesses use AI for tasks like crop monitoring, predicting yields, managing resources more efficiently, and making better farming decisions. The measure affects farmers, agricultural companies, and rural areas that currently have limited access to these advanced technologies.

TOTAL Screen Time Act

The federal government would work with technology experts to create a voluntary standard that allows parents and users to set limits on how much time they spend on phones, tablets, and similar devices. This standard would not be mandatory for companies to use, but would give device makers a common framework they could adopt if they choose to. The goal is to help people, especially children, manage their screen time more easily across different types of devices.

Expressing support for continued efforts to safeguard the supplemental nutrition assistance program under the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 from fraud, waste, and abuse for the Nation's most vulnerable.

This resolution expresses Congress's support for protecting the food assistance program (commonly known as SNAP or food stamps) from fraud, waste, and abuse. The measure affirms commitment to ensuring that benefits reach the low-income families and individuals who depend on this program to buy groceries, while preventing misuse of taxpayer funds.

Cure Hepatitis C Act of 2026

The federal government would be required to develop and implement a comprehensive plan to eliminate hepatitis C, a serious liver disease that affects hundreds of thousands of Americans. This would involve activities like increasing testing and screening, improving access to treatment medications, and coordinating efforts across different government agencies and healthcare providers. The initiative would aim to reduce new infections and help people currently living with hepatitis C get the care they need.

REDACT Act

This bill would allow people whose private information is exposed when documents related to Jeffrey Epstein are released to sue for damages. It protects victims and others from having sensitive personal details, medical records, or other private files made public without their consent. The law recognizes that some information shouldn't be disclosed even when government documents are being made transparent, and gives people legal recourse if their privacy is violated.

Medical Bankruptcy Fairness Act of 2026

This proposal would change bankruptcy laws to give special protections to people who have gone into serious debt because of medical bills or health crises. The changes would make it easier for people struggling with medical debt to get relief through bankruptcy without losing as much of their property or facing as many restrictions as they currently do.

Birthright CLAIM Act of 2026

The proposal would change which children born in the United States automatically become U.S. citizens, potentially restricting birthright citizenship for children whose parents are not citizens or are in the country illegally. Currently, anyone born on U.S. soil is automatically a citizen regardless of their parents' immigration status, but this bill would alter that rule. The change would affect millions of children born to immigrant families and could require them to go through additional steps to gain citizenship.

Water Emergency and Technical Assistance Act of 2026

The bill would provide funding and technical support to help communities fix water quality problems and drinking water emergencies, allowing experts to assist local water systems when they face contamination or infrastructure failures. It expands existing programs under federal water laws to give more resources to cities and towns dealing with water crises, whether from pollution, aging pipes, or other water safety issues. Communities and water utilities would benefit from this emergency assistance to protect public health.

Medical Bankruptcy Fairness Act of 2026

People who have gone into serious debt because of medical bills would get special protections if they file for bankruptcy, making it easier for them to get a fresh financial start. The bill would modify federal bankruptcy law to recognize that medical emergencies can push families into unmanageable debt through no fault of their own, potentially allowing them to keep more of their assets or have debts forgiven more readily than under current rules.

Protecting Innocent Taxpayers from Endless Assessments Act

The bill would change tax law to limit when the IRS can go back and audit someone for fraud, making it so the IRS can only use the extended fraud exception when a taxpayer deliberately tried to avoid paying taxes they owed rather than simply filing an incorrect return. This would protect taxpayers from extended audits in cases where mistakes were made without intent to cheat, while still allowing the IRS to pursue cases of intentional tax evasion. The change affects both individual taxpayers and businesses that file tax returns.

Western Water Infrastructure Fairness Act

The federal government would increase its financial contribution toward water infrastructure projects in rural Western communities, meaning these areas would receive more federal funding to build or improve water systems instead of having to pay as much of the costs themselves. This change applies to specific water projects that were originally authorized under a 1999 law, allowing rural communities with limited budgets to better afford essential water infrastructure like pipes, treatment facilities, and water supply systems.

Good Jobs for Good Airports Act

This bill would require companies that employ workers at busy airports—such as baggage handlers, cleaners, and other service staff—to pay those workers a prevailing wage (a set minimum based on what similar workers typically earn in that area) and provide fringe benefits like health insurance or retirement contributions. The requirement would apply to airports of all sizes, from smaller regional hubs to major international airports. This would affect airport service workers and the companies that employ them, potentially increasing labor costs for airport operations.

Expedited Access to Biosimilars Act

The bill would change the rules for approving generic versions of complex biological drugs (called biosimilars) by making it the standard expectation that companies don't need to conduct expensive clinical studies comparing how well these drugs work compared to the original drug. This would likely make it faster and cheaper for biosimilar manufacturers to get their products approved, potentially lowering costs for patients and insurance companies, though it could raise questions about whether the drugs are truly equivalent to the originals.

Securing America's Water Supply Act

The proposal would create a new office within the Army Corps of Engineers focused on managing water supplies, promoting water conservation, and helping communities prepare for and respond to droughts. This office would coordinate efforts to protect water resources and build resilience in regions facing water shortages. The bill affects water utilities, farmers, municipalities, and anyone relying on stable water supplies in drought-prone areas.

PATH Act

The Labor Department would fund and help create training programs that prepare people for apprenticeships in construction and building trades, with a focus on reaching people from low-income areas, rural communities, and other groups that have historically had fewer opportunities in these fields. These pre-apprenticeship programs would teach basic skills and help participants get ready to enter paid apprenticeships where they can earn while they learn a trade. The goal is to expand access to good-paying construction jobs for people who might otherwise face barriers to entering the industry.

Making America's Food Safer Act

The proposal would change federal rules about how food is inspected and handled to improve safety standards across the country. It affects food companies, farms, and manufacturers that must follow these regulations, as well as consumers who eat the products these businesses produce. The bill is currently being reviewed by a Senate committee to determine whether it should move forward for a vote.

High Court Gift Ban Act

Federal judges would be banned from accepting gifts from lawyers, litigants, and others who have business before the courts, closing potential loopholes in current ethics rules.

This would affect federal judges across the country and potentially strengthen public confidence in the fairness of the judicial system.

Replace UNRWA with Real Humanitarian Assistance Act

The bill would require the State Department to develop and present to Congress a plan for ending operations of the UN agency that provides aid to Palestinian refugees in the Middle East. The strategy would outline how to shut down or transition away from this organization's activities, which currently deliver humanitarian assistance, education, and healthcare services to millions of Palestinian refugees across the region. This would affect the millions of Palestinians who depend on the agency for basic services and would represent a significant shift in U.S. foreign aid policy.

A resolution congratulating the 2025-2026 Carolina Hurricanes for winning the Stanley Cup.

Congress is officially recognizing and congratulating the Carolina Hurricanes hockey team for winning the Stanley Cup in the 2025-2026 season. This resolution is a ceremonial honor that acknowledges the team's achievement but has no practical effect on laws or policies. The measure passed the Senate without any objections or changes.

Wildfire Prevention and Recovery Act

The Army would be required to assess wildfire risks on its properties and installations across the country, identifying which areas are most vulnerable to fires and what damage could result. This would help the military better prepare its bases and facilities for wildfires, protecting both military infrastructure and nearby communities from fire threats.

A bill to improve outcomes for Native children by empowering Tribal communities, strengthening families, and increasing access to critical services, and for other purposes.

The bill aims to improve health, education, and social services for Native American children by giving tribal governments more control over programs that serve their communities and families. It would increase funding and resources for services like healthcare, mental health support, and child welfare programs in tribal areas. The legislation is designed to strengthen Native families and communities by letting tribes make decisions that better fit their specific needs rather than relying solely on federal programs.

Outpatient Surgery Access Act of 2026

The proposal would update how Medicare pays ambulatory surgical centers—medical facilities where patients have outpatient surgeries without staying overnight—to reflect current costs and procedures. These changes would affect both the surgical centers that perform the procedures and Medicare beneficiaries who use these facilities. The bill aims to ensure payment rates keep pace with modern medical practices and operating expenses.

Stop Settlement Slush Funds Act of 2026

When the federal government settles lawsuits, it sometimes agrees to let defendants donate money to charities or causes instead of paying the full settlement amount to the government. This bill would restrict or eliminate that practice, ensuring that settlement money goes directly to the U.S. Treasury rather than to third-party organizations chosen by the defendant. The change would affect companies and individuals who settle cases with federal agencies, as well as nonprofits that currently receive donations through these settlement agreements.

Railroad Retirement Board Stability Act of 2026

The proposal would create a dedicated account to help the Railroad Retirement Board manage its administrative costs and operations more efficiently. This affects railroad workers and retirees who depend on the Railroad Retirement system for their pensions and benefits, as well as the railroads that contribute to the system.

Blocking CCP Spy Tech Act of 2026

The government would be required to review whether communications equipment and services from certain companies pose national security risks, particularly examining products from foreign entities that might be used in critical U.S. infrastructure or military systems.

The findings would inform decisions about which companies are allowed to sell their products and services to U.S. government agencies and critical infrastructure operators.

Good Jobs for Good Airports Act

This bill would require companies that employ airport workers at major U.S. airports to pay those workers a prevailing wage (a set minimum pay rate) and provide fringe benefits like health insurance or retirement contributions. The requirement would apply to workers at small, medium, and large hub airports across the country. This would affect airport service workers such as baggage handlers, cleaners, and other support staff, as well as the companies that employ them.

Mystic Alerts Act

The legislation would allow satellite companies to transmit emergency alerts to the public during disasters and crises, ensuring that people in remote areas or those without traditional cell service can still receive critical warnings. This would expand the current emergency alert system, which primarily relies on cell towers and broadcast stations, to include satellite networks as an additional backup communication method. The change would benefit rural communities, travelers, and anyone in areas with limited cellular coverage who need to receive timely warnings about severe weather, natural disasters, or other emergencies.

FACT Pilot Program Act

The federal government would fund a five-year test program that gives grants to organizations providing intensive mental health and substance abuse treatment to people involved in the criminal justice system who have serious mental illnesses. These "forensic assertive community treatment" teams would work with individuals in their communities rather than institutions, aiming to reduce incarceration and improve outcomes for this vulnerable population. The program would help expand these specialized services to more areas across the country.

Stop TNR Act of 2026

The bill would increase criminal penalties for foreign governments or their agents who target, threaten, or harm U.S. citizens or people in the United States as part of efforts to suppress political opposition or dissent in their home countries. This would apply to actions like kidnapping, intimidation, or violence carried out by authoritarian regimes against their critics who have fled to America. The law aims to protect vulnerable people from transnational repression while deterring foreign governments from extending their control into U.S. territory.

REDACT Act

This bill would allow victims and their families to sue if their private information—like medical or personal files—gets exposed when documents related to the Epstein case are released to the public. It creates a legal right for people to take action and seek damages if their sensitive personal details are shared in a way that violates their privacy, even when those documents are being made public for transparency purposes.

State Standing Committee Act

The proposal would create a new State Standing Committee within the Environmental Protection Agency to give states a formal role in environmental research and policy decisions. This committee would allow state governments to have input on how the EPA conducts environmental studies and develops new technologies to address pollution and environmental problems. The change aims to make environmental protection efforts more collaborative between federal and state authorities.

PROMISE Act of 2026

The bill would create a plan to make sure Social Security's trust funds for retirement and disability benefits have enough money to pay benefits for the long term. It would likely involve changes to how Social Security operates—such as adjusting payroll taxes, benefit amounts, or eligibility rules—to prevent the funds from running out of money in future years. This affects millions of Americans who receive or will receive Social Security retirement or disability payments.

VA Police Security Enhancement Act

The proposal would give Department of Veterans Affairs police officers broader authority to enforce laws and maintain order at VA facilities and surrounding areas. Currently, these officers have limited jurisdiction, but the expansion would allow them to respond to a wider range of situations and protect veterans, staff, and property more effectively across VA grounds.

Examining Opioid Treatment Infrastructure Act of 2026

The federal government would study how many treatment facilities exist across the country for people struggling with opioid addiction, whether they have enough capacity to help everyone who needs it, and what gaps exist in available services. A government official called the Comptroller General would investigate both hospital-based and outpatient treatment options and report back to Congress with findings and recommendations. This would help lawmakers understand the current state of addiction treatment resources and identify where more help is needed.

PATH Act

The federal government would fund and help create training programs that prepare people for apprenticeships in construction and building trades, with a focus on reaching people from low-income areas and rural communities who are typically underrepresented in these fields. These pre-apprenticeship programs would help workers gain the skills needed to enter well-paying construction jobs while expanding opportunity in communities that have been left behind. The Labor Department would oversee the development and support of these programs across the country.

CLEAN Act

The bill would make it easier for companies to lease federal land for geothermal energy development by requiring the government to hold lease sales more often and to offer replacement parcels when previously leased areas are no longer available. This change would affect energy companies looking to develop geothermal power projects on public lands and could increase the pace of geothermal energy development in the United States.

HEATS Act

The bill would allow companies to conduct certain geothermal drilling and exploration activities without obtaining federal permits and without going through the standard environmental review process that normally applies to federal projects. This change would make it faster and cheaper for energy companies to develop geothermal resources on federal lands, though it could reduce the environmental scrutiny of these projects. The bill is currently being reviewed by the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.

PRESERVE Act

This bill would establish protections for artwork that the government commissions or owns, likely setting rules about how such art can be displayed, maintained, or removed from public spaces. The legislation affects government agencies, artists, and the public by potentially requiring approval processes before changes are made to publicly funded or displayed art. The bill has been sent to committees that handle transportation, infrastructure, and government operations to review the specific details.

American Citizenship Act

This bill would change the legal definition of who automatically becomes a U.S. citizen at birth, specifically affecting children born to non-citizen parents in the United States. The change would interpret the Fourteenth Amendment's citizenship clause more narrowly than current law, potentially making it harder for some babies born on U.S. soil to gain citizenship. The bill would impact immigration policy and could affect millions of people's legal status and rights.

Living Wage For All Act

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

STOP Child Care Fraud Act

States would be required to pay child care providers based on how many children actually attend each day rather than using other payment methods, and could choose to reimburse providers for their costs instead of using other payment approaches. The bill also sets up new rules for how states must report and handle payment errors in the child care subsidy system. This would affect child care providers and families who receive government help paying for child care.

FEMA Caseworker Accountability Act

The federal government's top auditor would be required to study why FEMA loses so many of its case management workers and report back to Congress with findings and recommendations. This would help lawmakers understand the reasons behind high turnover rates at the agency responsible for disaster response and recovery, which could affect how quickly and effectively FEMA helps people after emergencies.

Expanding Opportunities for Recovery Act of 2026

The federal government would give money to states to help more people get treatment for opioid addiction and abuse, allowing them to expand clinically appropriate services in their communities. This funding would be distributed through the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment and would help states provide services like medication-assisted treatment, counseling, and other evidence-based approaches to address the opioid crisis. The bill would primarily benefit people struggling with opioid addiction and the states working to expand their treatment capacity.

Vaccine Injury Compensation Modernization Act of 2026

The proposal would update how the government compensates people who suffer serious injuries from vaccines by making changes to the existing Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. This affects people who believe they've been harmed by vaccines, vaccine manufacturers, and potentially taxpayers who fund the compensation system. The bill has been sent to two congressional committees for review and consideration.

To expand access for workers experiencing symptoms related to menopause and the menopause transition to reasonable accommodations that enable them to perform the essential functions of their job without risking their health or economic security.

The bill would apply to employers across different industries and would require companies to work with employees to find practical solutions that allow them to continue performing their essential job duties. This protection would help millions of workers, particularly women in their 40s and 50s, manage menopause-related challenges like hot flashes and fatigue while maintaining their employment and financial stability.

No New Fencing At the White House Act

The proposal would ban the use of any federal, state, foreign, or private money to build permanent fencing around the White House and its surrounding grounds.

The measure essentially prevents the installation of a permanent barrier fence around the presidential complex regardless of the funding source.

Limiting Excessive Government Obstruction Act

The proposal would create new procedures for how government agencies handle disputes and make decisions about benefits, licenses, and other matters affecting individuals and businesses. It aims to establish clearer rules and timelines for these administrative hearings, potentially affecting workers seeking unemployment benefits, people applying for Social Security, contractors dealing with federal agencies, and others who need to appeal government decisions.

This resolution honors Cuban citizens who protested against the government five years ago and faced violence and abuse for demanding basic freedoms and human rights. The resolution recognizes their courage in standing up to what it describes as a repressive regime despite the serious risks they took. It has been sent to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for consideration.

Health Care Price Certainty for All Americans Act

The legislation 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.

The proposal affects hospitals, insurers, healthcare providers, and patients seeking medical services.

To amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to improve the accuracy of estimates of retail food store trafficking in the supplemental nutrition assistance program benefits, to strengthen penalties for trafficking violations, to require reporting information to the Congress; and for other purposes.

The bill would crack down on fraud in the food stamp program by improving how the government tracks when stores illegally sell SNAP benefits for cash instead of food. It would also increase penalties for stores caught trafficking in benefits and require regular reports to Congress about how widespread the problem is. These changes aim to prevent criminals from stealing money meant to help low-income families buy groceries.

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

This resolution would require the President to withdraw U.S. military forces from any military actions against Iran unless Congress has specifically authorized those actions through a formal vote. It essentially reasserts Congress's constitutional power to decide when the country goes to war, rather than allowing the President to conduct military operations independently.

The goal is to streamline how child care assistance reaches students who need it to complete their education.

To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to eliminate the State and local tax deduction marriage penalty.

The proposal would change tax rules so that married couples filing jointly don't face a disadvantage compared to unmarried people when deducting state and local taxes they pay. Currently, married couples hit a lower cap on how much they can deduct for these taxes than two single people filing separately would be allowed, which some view as penalizing marriage. The change would affect millions of households that pay significant state and local taxes, particularly in high-tax states.

To require artificial intelligence chatbot providers to provide data privacy and security, and for other purposes.

Companies that make AI chatbots would have to follow strict rules to protect users' personal information and keep their data secure from hackers and misuse.

Protecting Columbia River Salmon Act of 2026

This bill would allow certain Indian Tribes in California to legally kill sea lions in a specific section of the Columbia River, which they say are eating too many salmon and interfering with fishing. Currently, federal law protects these sea lions from being killed, so this change would give the Tribes an exception to that protection. The Tribes argue this action is necessary to protect salmon populations and their traditional fishing practices.

American Enrichment Deployment Act

The proposal would streamline the government's approval process for uranium enrichment plants, which produce fuel used in nuclear power reactors and other applications, to help these facilities get built and operating faster while maintaining safety standards.

The changes aim to modernize licensing rules that haven't been substantially updated since 1954.

Designating an official residence for the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

The proposal would establish an official residence where the Speaker of the House can live while serving in that leadership position, similar to how the President has the White House and the Vice President has an official residence. This would give the Speaker a designated government property to use during their time in office rather than relying on personal housing arrangements. The change would affect how the Speaker's living situation is managed and potentially impact federal property and budget decisions related to maintaining such a residence.

Hmong Congressional Gold Medal Act

The government would award a Congressional Gold Medal to the Hmong people to honor their military service during the Vietnam War and their efforts against communist forces. This medal is one of the highest civilian honors Congress can give and recognizes the sacrifices and contributions of the Hmong community during that conflict. The proposal is currently being reviewed by congressional committees to determine whether it should move forward.

FAIR Credit Act

This bill would make it easier for people harmed by identity theft, fraud, or predatory lending to fix their credit reports and recover financially.

The changes would apply to credit reporting agencies and other companies that handle consumer financial information.

Impeaching Sparkle L. Sooknanan, a Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

This resolution would remove Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan from her position on the federal court in Washington, D.C., based on allegations of serious misconduct or crimes. The House Judiciary Committee would investigate the charges and determine whether to recommend impeachment to the full House of Representatives, which would need to vote on whether to proceed with removal. If approved by the House and convicted by the Senate, the judge would be permanently removed from office.

BILL Drivers Act

The federal government would be required to study and publish a detailed report showing how the different parts of electricity bills—such as generation costs, transmission fees, and distribution charges—have changed over time for homeowners and small businesses in each state. This would help consumers and policymakers understand what's driving their electricity costs and how those costs vary across the country. The analysis would be conducted by the Energy Information Administration, a government agency that tracks energy data.

Sunshine for Our Kids Act of 2026

The proposal would make standard time the year-round default across the United States, allowing individual states to choose whether they want to observe daylight saving time instead.

The bill is currently being reviewed by two congressional committees to determine its feasibility and implications.

Northwest Endangered Salmon Predation Prevention Act of 2026

This bill would allow fishermen and wildlife managers to kill sea lions and seals in the Columbia River and Washington state waters to protect salmon populations that are endangered or threatened. Currently, federal law strictly protects these marine mammals, but this change would let authorities remove them when they're eating too many salmon that scientists are trying to save. The bill affects fishing communities, environmental groups, and wildlife managers who deal with the conflict between protecting marine mammals and restoring fish populations.

Less Bureaucracy, Better International Education Oversight Act

The proposal would transfer control of international education programs, foreign language studies, and Fulbright-Hays scholarships from their current administrators to the State Department. This change would affect students seeking to study abroad, universities offering international programs, and Americans applying for prestigious fellowships to work and study in other countries. The goal appears to be centralizing management of these education initiatives under one federal agency rather than having them spread across multiple departments.

Freedom to Build Act

The proposal would allow the Department of Housing and Urban Development to officially recognize certain cities and towns as "Freedom to Build" communities if they reduce zoning restrictions and housing regulations that limit new construction. Communities earning this designation could potentially receive federal benefits or recognition for making it easier to build homes and other developments. The goal is to encourage local governments to remove barriers that make housing more expensive and difficult to develop.

Protecting Communities from Data Center Impacts Act of 2026

The government would be required to study how data centers affect the environment and public health, looking at issues like energy consumption, water usage, and air quality impacts.

This would give official recognition to Paine's contributions to American independence and founding ideals.

CANADA Act

The bill would require the U.S. Trade Representative to investigate whether Canada and other countries are unfairly blocking or restricting American alcoholic beverages from being imported and sold in their markets. If these countries are found to be breaking trade rules, the U.S. could potentially impose penalties like tariffs on their goods. This affects American alcohol producers and exporters who want to sell their products overseas.

No PFAS in Cosmetics Act

The proposal would prohibit cosmetic companies from intentionally adding "forever chemicals" (PFAS) to their products like makeup, shampoo, and skincare items. These chemicals don't break down in the environment or human bodies and have been linked to health concerns, so the ban would protect consumers and reduce pollution from cosmetics that wash down drains. The change would affect cosmetic manufacturers and potentially require them to reformulate products to use safer alternatives.

Sergeant First Class Jorge Otero Barreto Medal of Honor Act

The President would be authorized to award the Medal of Honor, the military's highest decoration for bravery, to a deceased Army sergeant who performed acts of valor during the Vietnam War. This recognition would honor Sergeant First Class Jorge Otero Barret's military service and courage in combat. The medal would be awarded posthumously, meaning after his death.

This would affect history enthusiasts, educators, and tourists interested in Civil War sites and interpretation.

To strengthen the 340B drug discount program.

The proposal would make changes to the 340B drug discount program, which allows certain hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare providers to buy prescription drugs at significantly reduced prices from manufacturers. These discounts help healthcare facilities serve low-income and uninsured patients while potentially reducing their overall drug costs. The bill aims to strengthen how this program operates, though the specific changes would be determined as it moves through the relevant congressional committees.

Keep Food Containers Safe from PFAS Act of 2026

The proposal would ban food companies from using certain chemicals called PFAS (forever chemicals) in food packaging materials that are sold across state lines. PFAS are synthetic substances that don't break down in the environment or the human body and have been linked to health concerns, so this rule would require manufacturers to find alternative packaging materials. The ban would affect food producers, packaging manufacturers, and ultimately consumers who buy packaged food products.

Federal Jobs for STARs Act of 2026

The federal government would be allowed to hire workers for certain jobs based on skills they've learned outside traditional four-year college degrees, such as through apprenticeships, trade schools, or on-the-job training programs.

No Fencing at Lafayette Square Act

The proposal would prevent the government from using any federal, state, foreign, or private money to build permanent fencing around Lafayette Square, the public park near the White House in Washington, D.C. This affects federal agencies, state governments, and private organizations that might otherwise fund such construction projects. The bill essentially protects public access to the park by blocking funding for barriers that could restrict who can enter the area.

Housing Opportunities and Preservation Enhancement Act of 2026

The proposal would change tax rules to give financial breaks to people and companies that own residential rental properties, making it cheaper for them to invest in or maintain apartment buildings and rental homes. These tax incentives could potentially affect renters by influencing how much landlords invest in their properties, while also impacting government tax revenue. The specific details of which rental properties qualify and what incentives apply would be determined as the bill moves through Congress.

SAFE for Manatees Act

The federal government would study whether manatees could be relocated to new habitats as an alternative to their current homes. This research would help determine if manatees could survive and thrive in different areas, potentially addressing overcrowding or environmental challenges in their existing habitats. The study would affect conservation efforts for these endangered marine mammals and could influence future wildlife management decisions.

Living Wage for Federal Contractors Act

Companies that do business with the federal government would be required to pay their workers a higher minimum wage than the current federal minimum. This would affect millions of workers employed by federal contractors across industries like construction, defense, and services, potentially increasing their earnings but also potentially raising costs for government projects. The bill is currently being reviewed by congressional committees to determine whether it should move forward.

Informed Investor Access Act

The proposal would expand who qualifies as an "accredited investor" — a status that currently allows wealthier individuals to invest in riskier, less-regulated investments like private companies and hedge funds — by letting people with lower incomes also participate if they're getting advice from licensed financial professionals. This change would give more Americans access to investment opportunities previously limited to the wealthy, though it could also expose more people to higher-risk investments. The measure is intended to democratize investment options while relying on professional advisors to help guide these decisions.

FRAUD Act

State officials would be required to report cases of fraud involving federal money to the appropriate federal authorities, ensuring that misuse of taxpayer funds is properly investigated and addressed. This would apply to situations where state employees or contractors misuse federal grants, Medicare/Medicaid funds, or other federal assistance programs. The requirement aims to improve oversight and accountability for how federal dollars are spent at the state level.

Hold Vandals Accountable Act of 2026

The proposal would lower the dollar threshold that triggers federal criminal penalties for damaging or attempting to damage U.S. government property, making it easier to prosecute people for smaller-scale damage to federal buildings, monuments, or other government assets. This would affect anyone who damages federal property, from vandals to protesters, by allowing federal charges to apply to incidents involving less expensive damage than current law permits. The change aims to give federal authorities more tools to address property damage at government facilities.

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to temporarily fill vacancies in the House of Representatives to further the continuity of Congress.

This proposed constitutional amendment would allow states to temporarily fill vacant House seats with appointed representatives instead of waiting for special elections, ensuring Congress can continue operating during emergencies or unexpected vacancies. The temporary appointees would serve only until a special election could be held to fill the seat permanently. This change would affect how quickly Congress can respond to member deaths, resignations, or other situations that leave districts without representation.

Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Act of 2026

The legislation would fund programs to increase access to vitamin and mineral supplements for pregnant women and children in developing countries, along with other proven health interventions that are inexpensive to deliver. The money would support efforts to reduce malnutrition and improve health outcomes for mothers and young children in low-income nations around the world. This would primarily affect international aid organizations, health programs in developing countries, and the vulnerable populations they serve.

Fresh Bucks for Fresh Produce Act

The Department of Agriculture would create a test program that gives certain low-income households monthly payments they can use specifically to buy fresh fruits and vegetables, allowing researchers to measure whether this approach improves food access and health outcomes. The program would help families afford more produce while generating data on how direct payments affect shopping habits and nutrition compared to other assistance methods. This pilot would run for a limited time before potentially being expanded or made permanent based on the results.

Advancing American Quantum Leadership Act of 2026

The government's Export-Import Bank, which helps finance American companies selling products overseas, would be allowed to support businesses developing quantum computing and related technologies when selling to countries outside China. This change would make it easier for U.S. companies working in this cutting-edge field to compete internationally and secure financing for exports. The bill affects American tech companies, manufacturers, and the bank's ability to promote advanced technology sales globally.
