House Committee on the Budget

To appropriate sums for the Secretary of Agriculture to provide block grants to States for losses of revenue as a consequence of certain freezes or cold weather conditions.

The federal government would send money to states to help them recover from revenue losses caused by freezes or cold weather that damaged crops or other agricultural resources. States would receive these funds as block grants, meaning they get lump sums to distribute as they see fit rather than money tied to specific programs. This would help agricultural communities and state budgets recover from weather-related economic damage.

DLARA

I don't have enough information to write an accurate summary. The bill title "DLARA" and subject line "Commerce" don't provide the specific details about what this legislation would actually do, who it affects, or what changes it would make. To write a factual summary, I would need access to the bill's text or a description of its actual provisions.

Governing for the People Act

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

Duplication Scoring Act of 2026

This bill would require the federal government to identify and score overlapping or duplicate programs across different agencies to help reduce waste and inefficiency in how taxpayer money is spent. The measure aims to give Congress and the public a clearer picture of where government services overlap so lawmakers can make better decisions about consolidating or eliminating redundant programs. It would affect federal agencies and potentially save money by streamlining government operations.

ROAD to Housing Act of 2025

The bill aims to address housing shortages and improve community development through coordinated federal efforts across multiple policy areas including transportation, veterans' services, and rural development. By involving committees on infrastructure, agriculture, and energy alongside housing-focused committees, the legislation likely combines strategies such as improving access to affordable housing, supporting veterans' housing needs, and connecting communities through better transportation and utilities. The broad referral suggests the bill takes a comprehensive approach to making it easier and more affordable for Americans to find and maintain housing.

Advancing Policy Priorities Act

This bill appears to be a comprehensive package addressing multiple policy areas across government, touching on everything from veterans' benefits and military spending to energy, transportation, financial regulation, education, and agriculture. Because it covers so many different topics, it has been referred to nearly every major congressional committee so each can review the parts relevant to their area. The specific details of what the bill would actually change are unclear from the title alone, but its broad referral suggests it aims to advance the administration's priorities across numerous federal agencies and programs.

Resolution Act.

I don't have enough information to write an accurate summary. The title "Resolution Act" is too generic, and the referral to a subcommittee on commodity markets, digital assets, and rural development suggests the bill addresses specific financial or agricultural issues, but without seeing the actual bill text or a more detailed description of its purpose, I cannot reliably explain what it would do or who it affects.

To protect our democracy by preventing abuses of Presidential power, restoring checks and balances and accountability and transparency in government, and defending elections against foreign interference, and for other purposes.

This legislation would establish new limits on presidential power and increase oversight of the executive branch through measures like requiring congressional approval for certain presidential actions, strengthening ethics rules, and protecting election integrity from foreign interference. The bill aims to restore checks and balances between the branches of government and increase transparency in how the executive branch operates. It affects how presidents can exercise their authority and how Congress monitors their actions.

To address the high costs of health care services, prescription drugs, and health insurance coverage in the United States, and for other purposes.

The proposal aims to reduce what Americans pay for medical care, prescription medications, and health insurance by addressing factors that drive up healthcare costs. It would affect patients, insurance companies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and healthcare providers across the country. The bill has been sent to multiple congressional committees for review and consideration.

Pregnant Women in Custody Act

The legislation would require prisons and jails to improve medical care for pregnant women and new mothers in their custody, including access to prenatal care, safe delivery conditions, and postpartum support. It would affect incarcerated women, their newborns, and correctional facilities across the country by establishing standards for how pregnancy and childbirth are handled within the criminal justice system. The bill also addresses related issues affecting women's health and wellbeing while in custody.

Homeland Security and Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026.

Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026 This bill provides continuing FY2026 appropriations to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through May 22, 2026. It is known as a continuing resolution (CR) and ends the partial DHS shutdown that began on February 14, 2026, due to a lapse in appropriations for DHS. The CR generally funds most DHS agencies and programs at the FY2025 levels through the earlier of May 22, 2026, or the enactment of the FY2026 DHS appropriations act. The bill also authorizes back pay, in accordance with current law, for federal employees who were affected by the partial DHS shutdown. Finally, the bill ratifies and approves certain obligations that were incurred during the partial DHS shutdown, including obligations incurred to maintain the essential level of activity to protect life and property and bring about an orderly termination of government functions.

No WAR Act

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

No Bias in the Baseline Act

This bill would change how Congress calculates budget baselines—the starting point used to measure whether spending proposals increase or decrease the budget. Instead of assuming spending will automatically adjust with inflation, the baseline would assume discretionary spending stays at current levels. This affects how lawmakers and budget analysts evaluate the cost of new legislation and spending proposals.

Cost Estimate Clarity Act

The bill would require the Congressional Budget Office to explain how their cost estimates for proposed laws might change depending on which baseline assumptions they use when doing their calculations. This would give Congress and the public a clearer picture of how different starting points affect budget projections, making it easier to understand the real financial impact of new legislation.

Protecting America from Seasonal and Pandemic Influenza Act of 2026

The bill would strengthen the nation's ability to prepare for and respond to seasonal flu outbreaks and potential pandemics by improving disease surveillance, vaccine development, and emergency response coordination. It would affect public health agencies, healthcare workers, vaccine manufacturers, and the general public by establishing better systems to detect flu threats early and distribute vaccines and medical supplies quickly during health emergencies.

To amend the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to establish certain procedures for consideration of annual appropriation bills, and for other purposes.

This bill would change the rules Congress uses to consider and pass spending bills each year, likely aiming to streamline the budget process or establish new requirements for how lawmakers debate and vote on federal funding. The specific changes would affect Congress members and potentially federal agencies that depend on timely appropriations, though the exact procedures being modified are not detailed in the available information. The bill is currently under review by the House Rules and Budget committees to determine which parts fall under each committee's authority.

To appropriate funds for the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Disaster Relief Fund, and for other purposes.

This bill provides $26.367 billion in FY2026 emergency funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's) Disaster Relief Fund. The bill provides the funding to FEMA for the necessary expenses to carry out the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act with respect to major disasters.

Homeland Security and Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026

This bill would provide temporary funding to keep the Department of Homeland Security and other government agencies operating through 2026 while Congress works on permanent spending plans. It affects federal employees, border security operations, immigration enforcement, and other homeland security functions that depend on this funding to continue their work. The bill has been sent to the relevant committees for review before a vote.

Reforming ICE and Protecting America Act

This bill would change how the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency operates and is funded, likely aiming to reform its practices while maintaining border security and immigration enforcement. The specific changes would affect ICE operations, federal spending on immigration enforcement, and potentially how the agency interacts with local law enforcement and detained immigrants. Congress is currently reviewing the proposal to determine which committees should evaluate different parts of the bill.

Pay Our Homeland Defenders Act

Pay Our Homeland Defenders Act This bill provides appropriations to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for the remainder of FY2026. It also ends the partial DHS shutdown that began on February 14, 2026, because the continuing resolution (CR) that was funding DHS expired and a regular FY2026 DHS appropriations bill had not been enacted. Specifically, the bill provides appropriations to DHS for Departmental Management, Intelligence, Situational Awareness, and Oversight, including the Office of the Secretary and Executive Management; the Management Directorate; Intelligence, Analysis, and Situational Awareness; and the Office of Inspector General. In addition, the bill provides appropriations for Security, Enforcement, and Investigations, including U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Transportation Security Administration, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the U.S. Secret Service. The bill provides appropriations for Protection, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery, including the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The bill provides appropriations for Research, Development, Training, and Services, including U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers, and the Science and Technology Directorate. The bill also authorizes back pay, in accordance with current law, for federal employees who were affected by the partial DHS shutdown. Finally, the bill ratifies and approves certain obligations that were incurred during the partial DHS shutdown, including obligations incurred to maintain the essential level of activity to protect life and property and bring about an orderly termination of government functions.
