Honor Our Commitment Act of 2026

This would primarily affect Vietnamese immigrants and refugees who face removal proceedings, allowing them to remain in the country rather than being sent back to Vietnam.

Promoting Reduction of Emissions through Landscaping Equipment Act

This bill would likely offer tax credits or deductions to encourage people and businesses to switch from gas-powered lawn mowers and landscaping equipment to electric or zero-emission alternatives.

The measure is currently under review by the House committee that handles tax policy.

CBP Canine Home Kenneling Pilot Act

Deceptive Downsizing Prohibition Act of 2025

The legislation would prohibit companies from reducing product sizes or quantities while keeping prices the same or raising them, a practice known as "shrinkflation." Consumers would be protected from deceptive packaging that makes it appear they're getting the same amount of product when they're actually getting less. Companies that violate these rules could face penalties, affecting how manufacturers price and package goods on store shelves.

Business Uninterrupted Monetary Program Act of 2025

This bill likely aims to establish or modify a funding program to support transportation and infrastructure projects, possibly by creating a more stable or continuous stream of money for highways, transit systems, and related public works. The program would help ensure that transportation projects can proceed without interruption due to funding gaps or budget uncertainties. Businesses, construction companies, and communities that depend on transportation infrastructure would benefit from more predictable investment in roads, bridges, and transit systems.

Improving Mental Health Access for Students Act

This bill would expand mental health services available to students in schools by increasing funding and resources for school counselors, psychologists, and mental health programs.

Innovative Therapies Centers of Excellence Act of 2025

This bill would establish specialized medical centers within the military health system to research and provide advanced treatments for service members, likely focusing on cutting-edge therapies for injuries, illnesses, or conditions common among active-duty personnel and veterans.

This affects active-duty military members, veterans, and military families who use the Defense Department's health services.

Emerging Innovative Border Technologies Act

Emerging Innovative Border Technologies Act This bill requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Science and Technology Directorate of the Department of Homeland Security to develop a plan to identify, integrate, and deploy emerging and innovative technologies to improve border security operations. Such technologies may incorporate artificial intelligence, machine-learning, automation, fiber-optic sensing technology, nanotechnology, optical and cognitive radar, modeling and simulation technology, hyperspectral and LIDAR sensors, and imaging, identification, and categorization systems. The bill authorizes CBP to establish one or more Innovation Teams to research and adapt commercial technologies that may be used by CBP. The plan must describe how the Innovation Teams have been implemented and also detail goals and timelines for adoption of qualifying technologies, metrics and key performance parameters for determining the plan's effectiveness, which technologies used by other federal agencies CBP may also utilize, which existing authorities CBP may use to procure technologies, how CBP legacy border technology programs may be replaced, the expected privacy and security impact of security-related technology on border communities, and recent technological advancements in specified technologies. CBP must provide the plan to Congress within 180 days of the bill’s enactment. The bill also requires CBP to annually report to Congress regarding the activities of the Innovation Teams.
