American Consumer Tariff Rebate Act of 2026

This bill would create a system to refund tariffs (taxes on imported goods) directly to American consumers, potentially lowering prices on products like clothing, electronics, and household items that are subject to import duties. The rebate program would aim to offset the cost increases that tariffs typically cause for shoppers by returning some of the tariff revenue collected by the government. The proposal affects everyday consumers who buy imported goods and could influence how tariffs impact household budgets.

LPOE Modernization Trust Fund Act

This bill would establish a trust fund to modernize and upgrade facilities and infrastructure at U.S. land ports of entry, which are the official border crossing points where people and goods enter the country. The funding would help improve equipment, technology, and physical structures at these checkpoints to handle inspections more efficiently and securely. The changes would affect border patrol agents, customs officials, and travelers crossing at land borders.
