Transparency in Billing Act of 2026

This bill would require health insurance companies and employer health plans to only pay hospital bills from facilities that have established systems to prevent billing errors and overcharges.

This would affect hospitals, insurance companies, and workers who receive health coverage through their employers.

Protect Economic and Academic Freedom Act of 2025

The bill would restrict how schools and universities can consider race, ethnicity, and gender in admissions decisions and hiring practices, while also limiting diversity training programs at educational institutions.

Safeguarding Taxpayer Dollars in Child Care Act of 2026

This bill would establish new rules for how federal child care assistance programs spend taxpayer money, likely including requirements for tracking expenses, preventing fraud, and ensuring funds go directly to helping families afford child care. The legislation would affect families receiving child care subsidies, child care providers who receive government funding, and federal agencies that manage these programs. The goal is to make sure government child care dollars are used efficiently and appropriately.

Workforce Investments Accountability Act

This bill would likely establish new requirements for tracking and reporting how federal workforce training and education programs spend money and whether they actually help people find jobs. The legislation would probably affect workers seeking job training, employers hiring trained workers, and government agencies that run these programs by requiring them to measure and publicly report their success rates. The goal appears to be ensuring that taxpayer dollars spent on job training programs are being used effectively and producing real employment results.

Unfunded Mandates Accountability and Transparency Act of 2025

This bill would require the federal government to identify and publicly report the costs of new rules and regulations it imposes on states, local governments, and businesses without providing federal funding to cover those costs. The goal is to make Congress more aware of the financial burden these unfunded mandates place on states and localities before passing them, potentially making lawmakers think twice about creating expensive requirements they don't pay for.

To amend title 36, United States Code, to designate the composition known as "Here Rests in Honored Glory" by Donald B. Miller as the national hymn of the United States.

The bill would officially designate a musical composition called "Here Rests in Honored Glory" by Donald B. Miller as the national hymn of the United States. This would give the piece formal recognition as a symbol of the country, similar to how "The Star-Spangled Banner" is the national anthem. The change would primarily be symbolic and would affect how the government recognizes and promotes this particular piece of music.

The measure passed the House and sets the schedule for debating and voting on these various proposals that affect energy policy, law enforcement, and criminal justice rules.

Electing a member to a certain standing committee of the House of Representatives.

The House of Representatives voted to elect a new member to one of its standing committees, which are the permanent groups that handle specific areas like taxes, defense, or healthcare.

The motion to reconsider the vote was rejected, meaning the election is final.

This is a procedural measure that allows the House to consider and vote on changes the Senate made to a major reconciliation bill. Reconciliation bills are special legislative tools that allow certain budget-related measures to pass with fewer votes required, and this motion enables the House to either accept or reject the Senate's modifications to the legislation. The measure itself doesn't create new laws or policies—it simply sets the rules for how Congress will handle the Senate's amendments.

Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4) to rescind certain budget authority proposed to be rescinded in special messages transmitted to the Congress by the President on June 3, 2025, in accordance with section 1012(a) of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, and for other purposes.

This procedural measure allows Congress to vote on whether to restore federal funding that the President proposed to cancel in June 2025. The bill determines which government programs and agencies would get their money back after the President tried to withhold it. Lawmakers and the agencies affected by these budget cuts are the main parties involved in this decision about how federal money gets spent.

This procedural measure allows Congress to vote on four separate proposals: blocking new consumer protection rules on overdraft fees and digital payment apps, limiting when federal courts can issue injunctions to stop government actions, and requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. The measure passed the House and determines how these bills will be debated and voted on in Congress.

Providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J.

Congress is voting on whether to reject two energy efficiency rules from the Department of Energy that would require walk-in coolers, freezers, and commercial refrigeration equipment to meet stricter energy standards, which could increase costs for businesses that use this equipment. The measure also addresses a separate bill requiring colleges and universities to disclose foreign donations and contracts, and prohibiting them from accepting money or partnerships from certain foreign countries deemed security concerns. These votes allow Congress to overturn regulations it disagrees with without needing the President's signature.

Qualified Immunity Act of 2025

Qualified Immunity Act of 2025 This bill provides statutory authority for qualified immunity for law enforcement officers in civil cases involving constitutional violations. Current law provides a statutory civil cause of action against state and local government actors (e.g., law enforcement officers) for violations of constitutional rights, also known as Section 1983 lawsuits. The Supreme Court has also found an implied cause of action against federal law enforcement officers in certain situations (e.g., Fourth Amendment violations), also known as Bivens lawsuits. However, under the judicial doctrine of qualified immunity, government officials performing discretionary duties are generally shielded from civil liability, unless their actions violate clearly established rights of which a reasonable person would have known. The bill provides statutory authority for these principles with respect to law enforcement officers. Specifically, under the bill, law enforcement officers are entitled to qualified immunity if (1) at the time of the alleged violation, the constitutional right at issue was not clearly established or the state of the law was not sufficiently clear that every reasonable officer would have known that the conduct was unconstitutional; or (2) a court has held that the specific conduct at issue is constitutional. The bill applies to federal, state, and local law enforcement officers. It also specifies that law enforcement agencies and local governments may not be held liable if their officers are entitled to qualified immunity.

Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act

Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act This bill prohibits the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) from awarding family planning grants to entities that perform abortions or provide funding to other entities that perform abortions.

The bill provides exceptions for abortions (1) in cases of rape or incest; or (2) when the life of the woman is in danger due to a physical disorder, injury, or illness. It also exempts hospitals unless they provide funds to non-hospital entities that provide abortions. HHS must submit a report to Congress annually on this prohibition.
