Recognizing and celebrating "National Salvation Army Week" on May 11 through May 17, 2026.

Congress would officially designate May 11-17, 2026 as National Salvation Army Week to recognize and celebrate the charitable organization's work serving communities across the country. The Salvation Army, known for operating food banks, homeless shelters, disaster relief programs, and other social services, would be honored during this week for helping millions of Americans in need. This is a ceremonial measure that does not create new laws or funding but acknowledges the organization's contributions to American communities.

Assistance for Rural Water Systems Act of 2026

This bill would provide federal funding and technical support to help rural communities build, repair, and maintain their water systems. It aims to address challenges like aging pipes, contaminated water supplies, and lack of infrastructure in areas that often struggle to afford these improvements on their own. Rural residents, farmers, and small towns would be the primary beneficiaries of this assistance program.

Rural Uplift and Revitalization Assistance Act

The proposal would provide financial assistance and support programs to help rural communities strengthen their agricultural operations and economic development. It aims to help farmers and rural businesses access funding, technical expertise, and resources to improve productivity and create new economic opportunities in farming regions. The bill focuses on supporting rural areas that have faced economic challenges by boosting agriculture and related industries.

Farm Transitions Act of 2025

This bill would help farmers transition their land and operations to new owners, likely through tax breaks, loans, or other financial support to make it easier for young or beginning farmers to buy existing farms. The legislation aims to address challenges in agricultural succession planning, where aging farmers struggle to pass their operations to the next generation or sell to new farmers. It would affect current farm owners, aspiring farmers, and agricultural lenders involved in farm purchases and transfers.

USMC Helicopter Support in Vietnam Congressional Gold Medal Act

This bill would award a Congressional Gold Medal to recognize the helicopter crews and support personnel who served in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Vietnam War, honoring their contributions and sacrifices. The medal is a prestigious award that acknowledges exceptional service and bravery, and this one specifically celebrates the pilots, mechanics, and other military personnel who operated and maintained helicopters in that conflict. Veterans and their families would benefit from this formal recognition of their service to the country.

Restoring Electoral Stability to Enhance Trust (RESET) Act of 2025

The bill would make changes to how federal elections are run and administered, likely aimed at addressing concerns about election integrity and voter confidence in the electoral process. The specific reforms would be determined through the House Judiciary Committee's review, but based on the title's focus on "stability" and "trust," the bill probably proposes modifications to voting procedures, election security measures, or how election results are certified. These changes would affect voters, election officials, and states responsible for conducting federal elections.

Flight Education Access Act

This bill would likely make flight training and aviation education more accessible and affordable for students by potentially reducing costs, expanding funding opportunities, or creating new educational pathways into the aviation industry. The measure would affect aspiring pilots, flight schools, and potentially the broader aviation workforce. The bill is currently under review by the House Committee on Education and Workforce to determine its specific provisions and feasibility.

Recognizing and celebrating "National Salvation Army Week" on May 12 through May 18, 2025.

Congress would officially recognize the week of May 12-18, 2025 as "National Salvation Army Week" to honor and celebrate the charitable organization's work serving communities across the country. The Salvation Army, known for operating food banks, homeless shelters, disaster relief programs, and other social services, would receive this formal recognition from the federal government. This is a ceremonial measure that doesn't create new laws or funding, but rather designates a specific week for public acknowledgment of the organization's contributions to helping vulnerable populations.

Cybersecurity for Rural Water Systems Act

Cybersecurity for Rural Water Systems Act This bill amends the Department of Agriculture (USDA) Circuit Rider Program to include cybersecurity technical assistance for rural water systems serving fewer than 10,000 people. Under the program, USDA provides technical assistance to rural water systems that are experiencing day-to-day operational, financial, or managerial issues. Specifically, the program's cybersecurity technical assistance must (1) assess system efficacy in protecting against cyber threats; and (2) implement cybersecurity plans, procedures, and technologies to protect against cyber threats. The bill also reauthorizes the Circuit Rider Program through FY2030.

Old Drugs, New Cures Act

Old Drugs, New Cures Act This bill exempts manufacturers of certain long-standing drugs from paying specialized rebates under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program and the Medicare Prescription Drug Inflation Rebate Program. (Under these programs, drug manufacturers pay rebates to state Medicaid programs for certain drugs covered under Medicaid and to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for certain drugs covered under Medicare.) Specifically, manufacturers may request that a drug that would otherwise be considered a line extension under the Medicaid and Medicare rebate programs to instead be designated as a priority research drug. (A line extension refers to an oral dose of a new formulation of an existing drug, such as an extended release formulation, that would subject the drug to specialized rebates under the Medicaid and Medicare drug rebate programs.) Under the bill, a drug qualifies as a priority research drug if (1) at least 10 years have elapsed since the drug was first approved, (2) the manufacturer is investigating a new use of the drug that would address a significant unmet need, and (3) the new use addresses a disease or condition that has a high prevalence among beneficiaries of Medicaid, Medicare, or other federal health care programs.

Maintaining Investments in New Innovation Act

Maintaining Investments in New Innovation Act This bill requires drug products with genetically targeted technology to have had market approval for at least 11 years in order to qualify for the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program. (The program requires the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to negotiate the prices of certain prescription drugs under Medicare beginning in 2026. Among other requirements, drugs must have had market approval for at least 7 years (for drug products) or 11 years (for biologics) to qualify for negotiation.)

Honor and Remember Flag Recognition Act

Honor and Remember Flag Recognition Act This bill designates the Honor and Remember Flag, created by Honor and Remember, Inc., as a national symbol to honor service members who died in the line of duty and specifies federal locations and dates for its display.

Veterans Jobs Opportunity Act

This bill likely creates tax incentives or credits to encourage businesses to hire veterans returning from military service. The measure would probably offer companies financial benefits like tax breaks or deductions when they employ veterans, making it cheaper for employers to add military-trained workers to their payroll. Veterans and employers would be the main groups affected by these tax changes.

Modern Authentication of Pharmaceuticals Act of 2025

Modern Authentication of Pharmaceuticals Act of 2025 This bill requires each dose of a pharmaceutical product that is a controlled substance and that is taken orally in solid form (i.e., pills) to include a physical chemical identifier. (Physical chemical identifiers are substances that possess a unique physical or chemical property, such as inks, pigments, flavors, and molecular taggants, that unequivocally identify and authenticate a drug or dosage.) Under the bill, physical chemical identifiers must be included in or on the product and must be machine readable. The bill applies to products manufactured beginning five years after the bill's enactment.
