A bill to approve certain requests for a major disaster declaration, and for other purposes.
This bill would approve federal disaster relief funding for areas that have experienced major disasters and requested federal assistance. The money would help communities recover from events like hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, or other emergencies by supporting rebuilding efforts, emergency response, and aid to affected residents and businesses. The specific disasters covered would be determined through the formal approval process in Congress.
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 would apply to all federal agencies and could include hiring interpreters, translating documents, and offering phone interpretation services. The changes would make it easier for non-English speakers to understand their rights, apply for benefits, and interact with government offices.
ELO Realignment and Strategic Engagement Reform Act of 2026
ELO Realignment and Strategic Engagement Reform Act of 2026 This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to develop a comprehensive plan to reorganize its Engagement, Liaison, and Outreach (ELO) Office and submit such plan to Congress. The bill also limits certain DHS actions until DHS submits the plan to Congress and certifies that it is being implemented. ELO is part of DHS's Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A). ELO manages strategic relationships with I&A’s international stakeholders and federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, and private sector partners, including by facilitating intelligence and information sharing. Under the bill, the plan must identify redundant or non-essential positions, programs, or functions within ELO; specify how reorganization of ELO will address such redundant or non-essential positions, programs, or functions; realign essential functions and personnel of ELO within the Partner Engagement directorate of I&A; and improve the management and coordination of strategic relationships with priority law enforcement agencies. Until DHS submits this plan to Congress and certifies that it is being implemented, DHS may not (1) expand the staffing, budget, or programmatic scope of ELO; or (2) establish new offices duplicating the mission of ELO or the Partner Engagement directorate without congressional authorization.
Weatherizing Infrastructure in the North and Terrorism Emergency Readiness Act of 2025
Weatherizing Infrastructure in the North and Terrorism Emergency Readiness Act of 2025 This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to develop and conduct an exercise to enhance collective domestic preparedness for and response to a terrorist attack during an extreme cold weather event (e.g., an event caused by a polar vortex when Arctic air expands southward). The scenario in the exercise must involve a terrorist attack causing cascading effects on critical infrastructure (i.e., systems and assets of vital importance to national security, public health, or safety) and must address how public and private entities can coordinate to mitigate such effects and bolster community resilience. Within 60 days after completion of the exercise, DHS must submit to Congress an after-action report including the initial findings of the exercise, plans for incorporating lessons learned into future operations, and any proposed legislative changes.

Homeland Security Capabilities Preservation Reporting Act of 2026
Homeland Security Capabilities Preservation Reporting Act of 2026 This bill requires the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to submit a report to Congress every three years (current law requires only one report) regarding urban areas’ security capabilities previously supported with funding from the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) and at risk of being reduced or eliminated without additional federal assistance. FEMA’s UASI grants assist designated high-risk urban areas with developing and sustaining capabilities to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism. Each report must contain a proposal for FEMA to provide financial assistance for at least three consecutive years to urban areas previously receiving UASI funds to allow them to transition to other funding sources to preserve their security capabilities.

Major Non-NATO Ally Terror Threat Assessment Act This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to provide Congress with an assessment of terrorism threats to the United States posed by foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs) and Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs) present in countries operating or designated as major non-NATO allies. The assessment must include various elements, including (1) an identification of each FTO or SDGT present in each ally, (2) a description of all activities of each such FTO or SDGT within each ally, and (3) a description of efforts by the government of each ally to disrupt or degrade the activities of each such FTO or SDGT. There are currently 19 countries designated as major non-NATO allies (Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Brazil, Colombia, Egypt, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kenya, Kuwait, Morocco, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines, Qatar, South Korea, Thailand, and Tunisia). Additionally, while Taiwan is not designated as a major non-NATO ally, federal law provides that it be treated as one for certain purposes.

Food Assurance and Security Act
The federal government would create a new program to measure how many Americans struggle to afford enough food, with the Agriculture Department and Census Bureau working together to collect and track this data. This would help policymakers understand the scope of food insecurity across the country and identify which communities need the most help with food assistance programs. The information gathered could be used to improve how food aid is distributed and to evaluate whether current programs are effectively reducing hunger.
Small Business Cybersecurity Assistance Evaluation Act of 2026

District of Columbia Courts Judicial Vacancy Reduction Act
This bill would change how judges are appointed to Washington D.C.'s courts by allowing them to be automatically appointed without needing approval from the U.S. Senate. Currently, the Senate must review and approve judicial appointments in D.C., but this change would streamline the process and give D.C. more control over its own court system. The bill affects D.C. residents and anyone involved in cases in D.C. courts, as well as the federal government's role in overseeing the district's judicial branch.
National Strategy for Social Connection Act
The federal government would create a new Office of Social Connection Policy to develop and coordinate a national strategy aimed at reducing loneliness and strengthening community connections among Americans. This office would work across government agencies to identify programs and policies that promote social engagement and address the health impacts of social isolation. The effort would affect Americans of all ages by potentially influencing how federal programs support community building and mental health initiatives.
INVEST Act
The federal government would be required to sell off any ownership stakes it holds in private companies and use the money from those sales to reduce the national debt. This would affect various federal agencies that currently own shares in businesses, potentially changing how the government manages its investments in the private sector. The bill aims to convert government equity holdings into cash to help pay down federal borrowing.
Governors’ Right to Inspect Act of 2026
State governors would gain the authority to inspect immigration detention facilities within their borders to check on health and safety conditions, and would be required to report their findings to Congress. This would allow governors to directly oversee how detained immigrants are being treated in facilities located in their states, rather than relying solely on federal inspections. The bill aims to increase transparency and accountability regarding conditions in these detention centers.
Stop Secret Spending Act of 2025
Stop Secret Spending Act of 2025 This bill expands a requirement for federal agencies to report expenditures on the USAspending.gov website to include other transaction agreement expenditures. (Other transaction agreements, or OTAs, are contractual instruments other than standard procurement contracts, grants, or cooperative agreements; they are exempt from many federal procurement laws and regulations). Under current law, federal agencies must report expenditures on federal awards to USAspending.gov with the term federal award defined as federal grants, loans, cooperative agreements, contracts, and certain other types of expenditures. This bill expands the definition of federal award to include expenditures under OTAs, and therefore such expenditures must be included on the USAspending.gov website. The Department of the Treasury must ensure that data relating to OTAs are automatically transmitted to the website and a centralized view of this data is available on the website. Treasury must also annually post on the USAspending.gov website a report that includes (1) the total amount of federal spending on federal awards for which data has not been posted on the website, and (2) the reason why such spending data was not posted. For 10 years after enactment, the Office of Inspector General of specified federal agencies must periodically submit to Congress and make publicly available a report assessing the agency's spending data and use of data standards.
