Email Privacy Act

The legislation would require law enforcement agencies to obtain a search warrant before accessing people's emails and other electronic communications stored online, rather than allowing them to use a simpler administrative request.

The bill affects anyone who uses email or cloud storage services, as well as technology companies and law enforcement agencies.

Expanding Support for Living Donors Act of 2026

This bill would provide financial and other support to people who donate organs or tissue while alive, such as kidney or liver donors, to help cover their medical costs and lost wages during recovery.

It would affect both the donors themselves and patients waiting for transplants, as well as hospitals and insurance programs that cover transplant procedures.

National Landslide Preparedness Act Reauthorization Act of 2025

National Landslide Preparedness Act Reauthorization Act of 2025 This bill reauthorizes through FY2030 and expands the National Landslide Hazards Reduction Program (NLHRP) of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and reauthorizes and expands other related programs. The bill reauthorizes the NLHRP’s activities including analyzing, preparing for, and responding to landslide hazards. It specifies a minimum amount of NLHRP funds that must be used for deploying landslide early warning systems in high-risk areas. It also specifies that tribal organizations and Native Hawaiian organizations may receive the benefits of the NLHRP. Also, the bill expands the NLHRP by requiring the USGS to incorporate atmospheric rivers and extreme precipitation events into the program’s national strategy, resources for communities on landslide preparedness, and emergency response activities. It requires a landslide hazards database to include information regarding identification of areas in need of additional landslide risk assessment and authorizes regional partnerships to coordinate landslide monitoring efforts. It also authorizes the USGS to consult with institutions of higher education when establishing priorities for grants and implementing the debris flow early warning system. Additionally, the bill reauthorizes the USGS’s 3D Elevation Program through FY2030 and requires relevant federal agencies to integrate enhanced elevation data. It also requires the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s precipitation frequency estimates to include precipitation from hurricanes, atmospheric rivers, and extreme precipitation events.

Clean Competition Act

The bill would adjust how the U.S. taxes imports and domestic products to make competition fairer between American companies and foreign competitors, particularly in manufacturing and energy sectors.

Seniors, healthcare providers, and Medicare programs would be affected by whatever modifications Congress ultimately decides to include.

Protecting Taxpayer Resources Act

Protecting Taxpayer Resources Act This bill provides that Department of Homeland Security functions (e.g., immigration enforcement) may not be assigned to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) personnel (e.g., IRS criminal investigators) unless the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration determines (1) such IRS personnel are trained to administer such functions, and (2) the imposition of such functions on IRS personnel will not impede the IRS from enforcing federal tax law and providing quality services to taxpayers.

Apprenticeship Opportunity Act

The proposal would expand apprenticeship programs by providing tax credits and funding to employers who hire and train apprentices in skilled trades and other occupations. Workers entering apprenticeships would gain paid on-the-job training combined with classroom instruction, helping them earn while they learn without taking on student debt. The measure aims to create more pathways into good-paying jobs for people who might not pursue traditional four-year college degrees.
