Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Congress must urgently take all appropriate measures to guarantee civil rights and fair political representation to all Americans.

This resolution expresses the House's position that Congress should take immediate action to protect civil rights and ensure all Americans have fair access to political representation. It calls for legislative measures to address barriers that prevent certain groups from fully participating in voting and the democratic process. The resolution has been sent to the Judiciary Committee for consideration.

Double the Wage for Overtime Act of 2026

The proposal would increase the overtime pay rate that employers must give workers from 1.5 times their regular hourly wage to 2 times their regular wage for hours worked beyond the standard workweek. This change would affect millions of American workers across all industries by guaranteeing them higher compensation when they work extra hours. The bill is currently under review by the House Committee on Education and Workforce.

Lowering Utility Bills Act

The bill would require electric and gas utility companies to use the lowest acceptable profit margin when the government approves their rates, rather than allowing them to choose higher margins within an approved range. This change would affect how much utility companies can charge customers and keep as profits, potentially lowering energy bills for households and businesses. The measure targets large investor-owned utilities and the companies that operate power transmission systems.

Home Team Act of 2026

The Home Team Act would likely provide tax breaks or other federal support to help local sports teams and recreational facilities stay affordable and accessible in their communities. The bill appears aimed at keeping professional or amateur sports organizations rooted in their hometowns while supporting the fans, workers, and local businesses that depend on them. It would affect sports teams, stadium operators, and potentially communities seeking to retain or attract sports franchises.

BETS OFF Act

The bill would regulate sports betting and gambling activities across the United States, likely by establishing federal rules that states and betting operators must follow. It affects sports leagues, casinos, online betting platforms, and potentially state governments that currently oversee their own gambling laws. The measure has been sent to multiple committees because it touches on agriculture, financial regulation, and legal jurisdiction issues.

Connect the Grid Act

The bill would likely make it easier and faster to build new power lines and upgrade existing electrical infrastructure across state lines to modernize the nation's power grid. This could help connect renewable energy sources like wind and solar farms to communities that need them and improve the reliability of electricity delivery for homes and businesses. The changes would probably streamline the permitting process that currently slows down grid expansion projects.

Stop AI Price Gouging and Wage Fixing Act of 2025

This bill would make it illegal for companies using artificial intelligence to artificially inflate prices or secretly coordinate with competitors to keep wages low. It targets businesses and AI systems that manipulate markets to unfairly increase consumer costs or suppress worker pay. The legislation aims to protect both shoppers from price manipulation and workers from wage-fixing schemes enabled by AI technology.
