This resolution supports the recognition of National Mushroom Day and honors Pennsylvania for its contributions to the national mushroom industry.

Washington’s Trail—1753 National Historic Trail Feasibility Study Act of 2026

The federal government would study whether Washington's Trail-1753 should become an official national historic trail, which would bring it under federal protection and potentially increase funding for preservation and public access. The Secretary of the Interior would lead this feasibility study to determine if the trail meets the standards for national historic trail designation. This would affect hikers, history enthusiasts, local communities, and tourism in the Washington area.

Supporting Urban and Innovative Farming Act of 2026

The bill would strengthen the federal government's Office of Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production, which helps cities and suburbs grow food locally through programs like community gardens and rooftop farms. This would benefit urban farmers, community organizations, and city residents looking to increase access to fresh produce in areas where grocery stores are scarce. The changes aim to expand funding and support for these local food-growing initiatives across the country.

Dennis and Lois Krisfalusy Act

Dennis and Lois Krisfalusy Act This bill expands eligibility for a memorial headstone or marker for the spouse, surviving spouse, child, or dependent of a veteran or member of the Armed Forces. Currently, for individuals whose remains are unavailable, such benefit is only available for individuals who died on or after November 11, 1998. The bill makes such individuals eligible regardless of the date they died.

Food and Nutrition Delivery Safety Act of 2026

This bill would establish new safety standards and requirements for companies that deliver food and groceries to customers' homes, likely covering areas like food handling, temperature control, and delivery worker training. It aims to protect consumers from foodborne illness and contamination during the delivery process, while also setting rules for how delivery services must operate to keep food safe from pickup to doorstep. The legislation would affect food delivery companies, grocery delivery services, and the millions of Americans who rely on these services for their meals.

National Programmable Cloud Laboratories Network Act of 2025

The bill would establish a network of cloud-based laboratory facilities that researchers and students can access remotely to conduct experiments and simulations, making advanced scientific tools available to institutions that couldn't otherwise afford expensive equipment. This would help universities, schools, and research organizations across the country participate in cutting-edge science without building physical labs, while also potentially creating new opportunities for collaboration between scientists in different locations. The program would likely be funded and overseen by the federal government to ensure equitable access.

Ohio River Restoration Program Act of 2026

This bill would establish a federal program to clean up and restore the Ohio River, which flows through or borders six states and serves millions of people. The program would likely fund projects to remove pollution, improve water quality, protect wildlife habitats, and address environmental damage from industrial activity and urban development. Communities that depend on the river for drinking water, fishing, and recreation would be the primary beneficiaries of these restoration efforts.

A bill to amend the Passport Act of June 4, 1920, to authorize certain public libraries to collect and retain a fee for the execution of a passport application.

Public libraries would be allowed to charge a fee when they help people fill out and submit passport applications, and they could keep that money instead of sending it all to the government. This would give libraries a new source of funding while making it more convenient for people to apply for passports at their local library rather than traveling to a government office. The change mainly affects libraries and people who need passports, particularly those in areas without nearby passport acceptance facilities.

Credit Card Fairness Act

This bill would regulate credit card companies' practices, likely by capping interest rates, limiting fees, or requiring clearer disclosure of terms so consumers understand the true cost of borrowing. The changes would affect millions of Americans who carry credit card balances and help protect them from unexpected charges or predatory lending practices. Credit card companies would face new restrictions on how they can charge customers.

A bill to amend the Justice for United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Act to provide rules for payments to Havlish Settling Judgment Creditors.

This bill would establish rules for how money gets distributed to people who won court judgments against countries that the U.S. government has designated as sponsors of terrorism, specifically addressing payments owed to victims in a case involving Cuba. The legislation would clarify the process and priority for these payments so that victims of terrorist attacks can actually receive the compensation they've been awarded by courts.

Organic Science and Research Investment Act of 2025

Organic Science and Research Investment Act of 2025 This bill expands Department of Agriculture (USDA) support for organic agricultural research. USDA must establish the Coordinating and Expanding Organic Research Initiative for USDA resources dedicated to organic agricultural research. Every five years, the initiative must survey USDA's organic agricultural research and produce a report, including findings and recommendations on expanding research and increasing project coordination and effectiveness. USDA must take the findings and recommendations into consideration when preparing USDA's annual budget recommendations. In carrying out its work, the initiative must consult with the National Organic Standards Board and land-grant colleges and universities. In preparing each report, the initiative must consult organic and conventional farmers, ranchers, handlers and the organizations that serve them. The bill also reauthorizes the National Institute of Food and Agriculture’s Organic Agriculture Research and Extension Initiative through FY2030 and increases funding for the initiative. Further, eligible grant projects are expanded to include (1) facilitating the identification and adoption of traditional ecological knowledge and cultural practices, and (2) identifying how organic agriculture can adapt to and mitigate climate change. The bill also reauthorizes, and extends funding for, USDA's organic production and market data initiatives through FY2030. The Economic Research Service must conduct an economic impact analysis of organic agricultural management conducted in accordance with the National Organic Program. USDA may make competitive grants to support research, education, and extension activities relating to the transition from nonorganic production systems into organic agricultural production systems.

FISCAL Act

Without access to the specific provisions of this bill, the title "FISCAL Act" in the agriculture context likely aims to address financial or budgetary matters related to farming, food production, or forestry programs. The bill would probably affect farmers, agricultural businesses, food producers, and potentially consumers by changing how federal agriculture funding is allocated or managed. Once the committee reviews it, the details will clarify whether it focuses on crop subsidies, conservation programs, food assistance, or other farm-related spending.

Food Secure Strikers Act of 2025

Food Secure Strikers Act of 2025 This bill allows certain striking workers and their households to maintain their eligibility for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Specifically, the bill provides that a household that would otherwise be eligible to participate in SNAP is eligible for benefits if any member of the household is on strike because of a labor dispute. Current law generally prohibits a household from participating in SNAP if any member of the household is on strike unless the household was eligible for SNAP immediately prior to the strike. Also, under current law, households are not eligible for an increased SNAP allotment as a result of the decreased income of a striking member of the household. The bill expands SNAP eligibility for households with striking workers by repealing both of these restrictions. The bill also allows a government employee who is dismissed for striking and their household to maintain SNAP program eligibility. Specifically, current law prohibits certain individuals who voluntarily and without good cause quit a job from participating in SNAP. Further, a federal, state, or local government employee who participates in a strike against the government that results in their dismissal is considered to have voluntarily quit without good cause. The bill eliminates the provision that considers the dismissed government employee to have voluntarily quit without good cause, thereby allowing the employee and their household to maintain SNAP program eligibility if they are otherwise eligible for the program.

School Lunch Debt Cancellation Act of 2025

School Lunch Debt Cancellation Act of 2025 This bill (1) requires the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to cancel school meal debts, and (2) expands USDA's authority to use Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) funds for the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) and the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). Specifically, USDA must cancel and eliminate all household school meal debts (as of the date of the bill's enactment) under the school breakfast and lunch programs. USDA must also pay the amount of the cancelled debt to each local educational authority using CCC funds. The bill also reauthorizes the CSFP through FY2030 and allows USDA to use CCC funds for the program. As background, CSFP works to improve the health of low-income persons at least 60 years of age by supplementing their diets with nutritious USDA foods. In addition, the bill specifies that USDA may use CCC funds for all aspects of TEFAP. In recent years, USDA has used CCC funds for specific TEFAP activities. As background, through TEFAP, USDA purchases a variety of food commodities. TEFAP provides those food commodities (and cash support for storage and distribution costs) to state agencies that distribute the food to local emergency feeding organizations (e.g., food banks).

Banning SPR Oil Exports to Foreign Adversaries Act

This bill would prevent the U.S. government from selling oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to countries considered foreign adversaries, such as China or Russia. The goal is to ensure that America's emergency oil stockpile—meant to protect national security during supply disruptions—doesn't end up benefiting hostile nations or strengthening their economies. The measure affects oil companies that might buy reserve oil and the government agencies that manage the reserve.

Whole-Home Repairs Act of 2025

Whole-Home Repairs Act of 2025 This bill establishes a pilot program through which the Department of Housing and Urban Development provides grants to state and local governments to support the ability of certain landlords and low- to moderate-income homeowners to make necessary modifications, repairs, or updates to their properties. State and local governments must use the funds they receive under the program to award grants to homeowners and loans to landlords to make changes that address issues such as accessibility, habitability, and energy efficiency. A homeowner is eligible for a grant if the homeowner's household income (1) does not exceed 80% of the area median income, (2) does not exceed 200% of the federal poverty guidelines, or (3) meets the income eligibility criteria of another federal program that serves families of limited means. A landlord is eligible for a loan (which may be forgivable) if the landlord owns fewer than 10 rental properties that have a total of up to 50 units and that mostly consist of units that are affordable (i.e., affordable to a tenant with an income that does not exceed 80% of the area median income). The program terminates on October 1, 2030.
