HRES1302In Committee

Designating May 2026 as "National Electrical Safety Month" in the United States and supporting the goals and ideals of "National Electrical Safety Month" to raise awareness of electrical hazards in homes, schools, and workplaces and the action citizens can take to protect against electrically related hazards.

The federal government would officially recognize May 2026 as National Electrical Safety Month to educate Americans about the dangers of electrical hazards in their homes, schools, and workplaces. The designation aims to increase public awareness about how people can protect themselves from electrical injuries and accidents. This symbolic recognition would support efforts by safety organizations and officials to promote electrical safety practices among all citizens.

CFTC Office of the Chief Economist Act of 2026

This bill would establish an independent Office of the Chief Economist within the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the federal agency that oversees futures markets and derivatives trading. The office would conduct economic research and analysis to help the CFTC make better-informed decisions about regulating financial markets and protecting investors and traders from fraud and manipulation. This change would give the agency more in-house economic expertise to understand complex market trends and risks.

Local Farmers Feeding our Communities Act

This bill would likely support local and regional farming by making it easier for small farmers to sell directly to schools, hospitals, and other institutions in their communities. It probably includes funding or regulatory changes to help local food systems compete with large national suppliers and reduce the distance food travels from farm to table. The measure would benefit small farmers, local food producers, and communities seeking fresher, locally-grown food options.

The legislation likely aims to address widespread problems like lead contamination, water main breaks, and outdated systems in communities nationwide. It would affect water utilities, local governments, and the millions of Americans who depend on reliable access to safe drinking water.

Time to Choose Act of 2025

Time to Choose Act of 2025 This bill prohibits the federal government from awarding consulting services contracts to any entity that provides consulting services to covered foreign entities. Foreign entities covered by the bill include the government of China, the Chinese Communist Party, the People's Liberation Army, or any Chinese security service or intelligence agency; the government of Russia or any entity sanctioned under Executive Order 13662 ; the government of any country determined by the Department of State to have repeatedly provided support for international terrorism; and any entity on certain lists maintained by the Department of Commerce, such as the Denied Persons List or the Military End User List. An agency may waive the prohibition on a case-by-case basis if it is in the national security interests of the United States and no other entity without a conflict of interest can perform the work.
