The designation aims to promote child safety by raising awareness about the importance of securely storing firearms to prevent accidental injuries and deaths among young people. The resolution supports public health education efforts targeting families and gun owners across the country.
Drain the Slush Fund Act
The federal government currently pays out settlements and judgments when it loses lawsuits, and this bill would set limits on how much money can be awarded in these cases. The changes would affect anyone suing the federal government for damages, potentially capping the amounts they could receive even if they win their case. This could impact federal employees, contractors, and citizens seeking compensation for injuries or losses caused by government actions.
Denouncing corruption in all its forms.
The measure expresses the House's opposition to corruption in government and other institutions, calling for stronger efforts to prevent and punish dishonest practices by public officials and others in positions of power. It has been sent to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform for consideration, though it does not propose specific new laws or enforcement mechanisms.
Small Business Workforce Pipeline Act of 2026
Small business development centers would be required to help small business owners learn about and set up apprenticeship programs that train workers in skilled trades. This would give small companies better access to information and resources for creating their own training programs, potentially helping them find qualified workers while giving young people pathways to good-paying jobs without requiring a four-year college degree.
SHINE Act
Political committees would have to file special reports whenever they receive large donations of $1,000 or more within three weeks before an election, making these last-minute contributions more transparent to the public. The requirement would apply to any committee that then uses money to support or oppose candidates or political parties in that election. This aims to give voters better visibility into who is funding campaign activities right before they cast their ballots.
Small Business Innovation Voucher Act of 2026
The Small Business Administration would create a new grant program that gives small businesses vouchers they can use to pay for help with innovation projects, such as consulting services or technology development. These vouchers would help smaller companies afford expert assistance and resources they might not otherwise be able to access on their own. The program aims to boost competitiveness and growth among small businesses by making innovation services more affordable.
Small Business Succession Planning Act
The Small Business Administration would be required to create a program encouraging small business owners to develop succession plans—detailed strategies for transferring their businesses to the next generation or new owners when they retire or leave. This would help ensure that family-owned shops, farms, and other small enterprises can continue operating smoothly after current owners step down, protecting jobs and local economies. The program would likely include guidance, resources, or incentives to help business owners prepare for this transition.
SMART Community Policing Act
The legislation would direct federal funding toward new approaches in policing that emphasize community relationships, mental health services, and overall public safety initiatives. Police departments and community organizations would receive grants to test innovative programs that might include mental health crisis response teams, officer training in de-escalation, and community engagement efforts. The bill aims to help local law enforcement and health agencies work together to address crime and safety challenges in their communities.
BIS IT Modernization Act
The legislation would update the information technology systems used by the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation at the State Department to make them more modern and efficient. The changes would help the agency better manage its work related to international security, arms control, and preventing the spread of weapons of mass destruction. This affects State Department employees and the international partners who work with the U.S. on security matters.
Commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Columbine Day of Service and honoring the memories of the victims, survivors, and their families.
This resolution honors the 10th anniversary of the Columbine Day of Service, a community initiative created to remember the victims and survivors of the 1999 Columbine High School shooting and support their families. The measure recognizes the ongoing impact of the tragedy on the school community and encourages continued remembrance and service in honor of those affected. It does not create new laws or programs, but rather expresses Congress's respect for the victims, survivors, and families impacted by this tragedy.
Veterans with ALS Reporting Act
This bill would require the military to track and report data on veterans who develop ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease), helping Congress and the public understand whether veterans get this disease at higher rates than the general population. By collecting this information, the government could better identify potential links between military service and ALS, which might lead to improved benefits or medical support for affected veterans. The bill essentially creates a system to monitor this serious neurological condition among people who served in the armed forces.
No Political Enemies Act
The proposal would establish protections to prevent government officials from using their power to target or punish individuals based on their political beliefs or affiliations. It aims to safeguard citizens and organizations from discriminatory treatment by federal agencies, affecting anyone who might face unfair government action due to their political views or activities. The bill has been sent to multiple House committees for review to determine which parts fall under each committee's area of responsibility.
Amending title 36, United States Code, to direct the President to issue an annual proclamation establishing Democracy Day.
The President would be required to issue a proclamation each year officially recognizing Democracy Day as a national observance. This would establish an annual day for Americans to reflect on and celebrate democratic principles and institutions. The measure affects all Americans by creating a formal government recognition of democracy, though it does not create a federal holiday or mandate any specific activities.
CLEAR Act of 2025
The legislation would establish new requirements and standards for housing development and community revitalization programs, likely affecting how federal housing funds are distributed and used by local governments and developers. The bill aims to streamline processes and improve transparency in housing initiatives that serve low-income families and communities. Homeowners, renters, housing developers, and local housing authorities would be the primary groups impacted by these changes.
BRAVE Act of 2025
Building Resources and Access for Veterans' Mental Health Engagement Act of 2025 or the BRAVE Act of 2025 This bill addresses mental health services and care provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), including matters related to personnel, Vet Center administration, care for women veterans, and access to care. The bill authorizes the VA to waive the licensure or certification requirement for individual licensed professional mental health counselor appointees for a reasonable period of time. The bill also extends the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program and increases the maximum annual grant amount. The VA must provide Vet Centers with guidance for assessing outreach activities and implement processes to periodically assess the extent to which (1) veterans and eligible members of the Armed Forces experience barriers to obtaining services at Vet Centers, and (2) Vet Center staff may encounter barriers to providing services. Among other requirements, the VA must also survey and host listening sessions with women veterans to gauge the effectiveness of the VA’s suicide prevention, lethal-means safety, and mental health resources and messaging campaigns; initiate efforts to modify the Recovery Engagement and Coordination for Health-Veterans Enhanced Treatment (REACH VET) program to incorporate risk factors weighted for women; annually offer a mental health consultation to veterans who are receiving compensation for a service-connected disability relating to a mental health diagnosis; and implement a pilot program to provide access to mental health residential treatment programs for veterans with a spinal cord injury or disorder.
Veterans’ Sentinel Act
The Veterans' Sentinel Act would establish new oversight and monitoring systems to improve health care and benefits delivery for military veterans. The bill likely aims to create better tracking mechanisms or accountability measures within the Department of Veterans Affairs to catch problems earlier and ensure veterans receive the services they're entitled to. This would affect millions of veterans and their families who depend on VA health care and benefits programs.
Veterans Earned Education Act
The proposal would expand educational benefits for veterans by allowing them to earn additional education credits through military service and work experience, making it easier for former service members to pursue college degrees or vocational training. Veterans would be able to combine their GI Bill benefits with credits earned during their time in the armed forces, potentially reducing the time and cost needed to complete a degree program. This change would primarily benefit veterans transitioning to civilian life by giving them more flexible and comprehensive options for furthering their education.
Justice Involved Veterans Support Act
Justice Involved Veterans Support Act This bill directs the Department of Justice, in consultation with the Department of Veterans Affairs, to establish a pilot program to improve documentation of whether inmates of state prisons and local jails are veterans.
A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities that have not been authorized by Congress.
This joint resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against any organization designated on or after February 20, 2025, as a foreign terrorist organization or specially designated global terrorist, any states in which such entities operate, or any non-state organization engaged in illegal drug trafficking unless a declaration of war or authorization to use military force for such purpose has been enacted. The resolution specifies that it shall not be construed to prevent the United States from defending itself from an armed attack or the threat of an imminent armed attack or from using the U.S. Armed Forces in support of civil authorities as part of authorized counternarcotics operations.
PUPP Act of 2025
The bill addresses housing and community development issues, likely focusing on how agricultural land, financial services, or federal programs can support affordable housing or strengthen communities. Since it's been referred to both the Agriculture and Financial Services committees, it probably involves coordinating between farming interests and housing finance to achieve its goals. The specific details of what the bill would do are not yet clear from its current status in the referral process.
Expressing support for the designation of June 21, 2025, as National ASK (Asking Saves Kids) Day to promote children's health and secure storage of guns in the home.
This resolution designates June 21, 2025, as National ASK Day to encourage parents and caregivers to ask about gun storage practices when their children visit friends' homes, aiming to reduce accidental shootings and injuries among kids. The day promotes awareness about safely storing firearms away from children's reach and access. The measure is intended to support child safety initiatives without restricting gun ownership itself.
Healthcare Cybersecurity Act of 2025
The legislation would establish new security requirements and standards for healthcare organizations to protect patient medical records and personal information from cyberattacks and data breaches. Healthcare providers, hospitals, and insurance companies would need to implement stronger safeguards, report security incidents more quickly, and potentially face penalties for failing to protect patient data. The bill aims to reduce the risk of hackers stealing sensitive health information and disrupting critical medical services that patients depend on.
Capitol Remembrance Act
Capitol Remembrance Act This bill requires the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) to design and install in a prominent location in the U.S. Capitol a permanent exhibit that depicts the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. To the extent possible, the AOC must preserve property that was damaged during the attack and include it in the exhibit. The AOC must also include (1) existing photographic records relating to the attack; and (2) a plaque to honor the U.S. Capitol Police and other law enforcement agencies that protected the Capitol, the individuals who died or sustained injuries to protect the Capitol, and the staff who helped restore the Capitol complex after the attack. The exhibit shall be installed within two years after the bill's enactment.
