To direct the Assistant Attorney General to award grants to the National Police Athletic/Activities League to improve academic and social outcomes for youth and reduce both juvenile crime and the risk that youth will become victims of crime by providing productive activities conducted by law enforcement personnel during non-school hours.

The federal government would provide grants to the National Police Athletic/Activities League, an organization that runs after-school and community programs where police officers mentor young people in sports and other activities. These programs aim to help kids do better in school, stay out of trouble, and avoid becoming crime victims by keeping them engaged in positive activities outside of school hours. The grants would support expanding these youth programs in communities across the country.

To amend title 18, United States Code, to prohibit the doxxing of law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and judges, and for other purposes.

The proposal would make it a federal crime to publicly share personal information like home addresses, phone numbers, or family details about police officers, prosecutors, and judges with the intent to harass, threaten, or endanger them. This would protect these officials from coordinated online attacks that could put them and their families at risk. The bill is currently under review by the House Judiciary Committee.

No Rigged Grocery Prices Act

Food stores and delivery services like DoorDash would be banned from using personal information about customers to charge different prices to different people for the same products. The law would prevent companies from tracking your shopping habits, location, or purchase history to decide what price you see at checkout. This affects grocery shoppers and anyone who uses food delivery apps, as well as the retailers and delivery companies that currently use this pricing strategy.

Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove the United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

This concurrent resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran or any part of its government or military no later than March 30, 2026, unless a declaration of war or authorization to use military force for such purpose has been enacted. The resolution specifies that it shall not be construed to prevent the United States from defending itself, its Armed Forces, its diplomatic facilities, or allied states from imminent attack.

Feed Our Kids Act of 2026

The proposal would require all public schools to provide free breakfast and lunch to every student, regardless of family income, rather than only offering free meals to low-income families. This would eliminate the current system where some families pay for school meals while others receive them at no cost. The change would affect millions of schoolchildren across the country and require increased federal funding to reimburse schools for the meals they provide.

Jersey Pride Tax Credit Act of 2026

The proposal would give tax breaks to businesses that sell products promoting New Jersey, such as souvenirs or goods featuring the state's name or symbols. It would also require port authorities to prioritize renting retail space to these New Jersey-focused businesses over other retailers. The changes aim to boost local businesses and tourism by making it financially attractive to sell state-branded merchandise.

Condemning antisemitic hate-filled rhetoric and content disseminated by prominent online personalities, and urging social media platforms and public leaders to denounce and address such conduct.

Congress is calling out online personalities who spread antisemitic hate speech and messages, and pushing social media companies and public officials to publicly reject and take action against this type of harmful content. The resolution doesn't create new laws but instead expresses the legislative body's strong disapproval of antisemitic rhetoric online and urges platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to enforce their own policies against hate speech more aggressively. This affects social media users, content creators, platform companies, and anyone concerned about the spread of antisemitic material on the internet.

Protect our Pets Act

The legislation would increase criminal penalties for animal crushing, which involves intentionally causing severe harm or death to animals. The bill aims to strengthen protections for animals by making the punishment more severe for people convicted of this crime. This would affect anyone who engages in animal cruelty of this nature and could result in longer prison sentences or higher fines.

Build More Power Act

Based on the title and committee referrals, this bill likely aims to increase electricity generation capacity in the United States, possibly through streamlining permitting processes, encouraging new power plant construction, or expanding grid infrastructure. The referral to both the Energy and Commerce Committee and the Science, Space, and Technology Committee suggests it may address multiple aspects of power generation, from traditional energy sources to emerging technologies. The bill would affect energy companies, utilities, and potentially consumers through changes to how power projects are approved and built.

Making Reviews Certain Act

This bill would likely establish clearer timelines and procedures for environmental reviews that federal agencies must complete before approving projects like pipelines, dams, or mining operations. The changes would affect companies seeking federal permits or approvals, environmental groups monitoring those decisions, and communities where major projects are proposed. The goal appears to be making the review process more predictable and efficient, though the specific details would depend on the bill's actual language.

Grid Expansion and Reliability Act

This bill likely aims to make it easier and faster to build new power lines and upgrade the electrical grid to handle increased demand and improve reliability across the country. It would probably affect electric utilities, renewable energy companies, and consumers by streamlining the permitting process and potentially reducing costs for grid modernization projects. The changes could help integrate more solar and wind power into the system while reducing blackouts and power outages.

Parents Decide Act

Parents Decide Act This bill establishes age-verification requirements for providers of operating systems, which includes software that supports the basic functions of a computer, mobile device, or other general purpose computing device. First, operating system providers must require users to provide their date of birth to set up an account on, and use, the operating system. If the user is under 18 years old, the operating system must require a parent or legal guardian to verify the user's date of birth. Additionally, operating system providers must develop a system to allow app developers to access information necessary to verify the date of birth of a user of the developer's app. The bill provides for enforcement of these requirements by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The FTC also must issue regulations on how operating system providers can (1) verify the date of birth of a parent or legal guardian and carry out requirements for verifying the ages of users, (2) secure data collected through the verification process, and (3) ensure parents or legal guardians have control over what users who are under 18 years old are able to access on a device. The FTC must brief Congress on the rulemaking process and report on how operating system providers carry out the requirements of the bill.

Commonsense Review Act

Without specific subjects listed, this bill likely aims to streamline or reform some aspect of federal review processes, possibly related to environmental permits, land management, or natural resource projects given its referral to the House Committee on Natural Resources. The bill's focus on "commonsense" review suggests it may seek to reduce regulatory delays or simplify approval procedures that currently affect businesses, developers, or agencies managing public lands. More details about the specific review processes targeted would be needed to describe its concrete effects.

DPA Specialized Staffing Act

The bill would allow the federal government to use the Defense Production Act—a law that lets the president direct private companies to prioritize certain production during emergencies—to address staffing shortages in government agencies. This could enable the government to require businesses to supply workers or redirect employees to fill critical federal positions during times of need. The measure affects both government agencies struggling with staffing and private companies that could be required to contribute personnel.

ICE Standards Act

The bill would establish federal standards for how Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operates its detention facilities and conducts immigration enforcement activities. It likely aims to set requirements around conditions of detention, treatment of immigrants, and oversight procedures to ensure consistency and accountability across ICE operations nationwide. The bill would affect immigrants in ICE custody, detention facility operators, and ICE agents who carry out enforcement activities.

Leo’s Law

Leo's Law This bill extends by 180 days the relevant periods of market exclusivity for drugs for rare diseases or conditions (i.e., orphan drugs) for which applications were submitted during the COVID-19 emergency period.

Gwenn’s Law

I don't have enough information to write an accurate summary. The bill's subjects aren't listed, and "Gwenn's Law" alone doesn't indicate what policy area it addresses. To provide a meaningful explanation of what this bill would do and who it affects, I would need additional details about its actual provisions or subject matter.

Recognizing the significance of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and the need for robust funding of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke at the National Institutes of Health.

This resolution calls for increased funding and research support for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a rare inherited nerve disorder that causes muscle weakness and damage to nerves in the legs and arms, through the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. The measure aims to raise awareness about the disease and encourage the federal government to prioritize research into better treatments and cures for the thousands of Americans living with this condition. Patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and medical researchers would benefit from the expanded resources this resolution seeks to secure.

AI Workforce Training Act

This bill would likely create tax incentives or funding mechanisms to help workers learn artificial intelligence and related skills through training programs. By using the tax code to encourage or finance AI education, the legislation aims to prepare the workforce for jobs in a rapidly changing economy where AI skills are increasingly valuable. Workers seeking retraining, employers offering AI courses, or educational institutions could potentially receive tax benefits or credits under this approach.

SECURES Act of 2026

The SECURES Act would likely strengthen security measures and infrastructure protections for transportation systems across the country, such as roads, bridges, ports, and transit networks. The bill aims to address vulnerabilities in how these critical systems are managed and protected, potentially affecting transportation agencies, workers, and the traveling public. By improving security standards and coordination between different transportation authorities, the legislation seeks to make travel and goods movement safer and more resilient.

Federal Investment in Grants for Health Transportation and Flu-vaccination Local Units Act of 2026

The bill would provide federal grants to local health departments and organizations to improve transportation services for patients trying to reach medical appointments and to expand flu vaccination programs in their communities. This funding would help remove barriers that prevent people from getting healthcare, particularly in rural or underserved areas where transportation is difficult. The money would go directly to local health units that work with residents to identify their specific needs.

Miranda’s Law

Without access to the specific text of this bill, it appears to address transportation and public works policy, though the vague title makes the exact purpose unclear. Based on its referral to the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, it likely proposes changes to how the federal government funds, regulates, or manages roads, bridges, public transit, or other infrastructure projects. To understand what this bill would actually do and who it affects, you would need to review the full legislative text or bill summary from Congress.

U.S.-Israel Anti-Killer Drone Act of 2026

This bill would likely establish restrictions or regulations on the use of autonomous weapons systems (killer drones) in U.S.-Israel military cooperation and operations. The legislation would affect military planners, defense contractors, and potentially international relations between the two countries by setting rules around how unmanned weapons can be used. The bill has been sent to committees that handle military and foreign policy matters to determine what specific rules should apply.

Sikh American Anti-Discrimination Act of 2026

This bill would protect Sikh Americans from discrimination in employment, housing, education, and public services by explicitly including them under federal civil rights laws.

The law would give Sikhs the same legal protections against discrimination that other religious and ethnic groups currently have.

Benay Taub Lung Cancer Research Act

This bill would direct federal funding and resources toward lung cancer research, likely including support for clinical trials, prevention studies, and new treatment development. The funding would help scientists and medical institutions work on better ways to detect, prevent, and treat lung cancer, which affects thousands of Americans each year. The bill has been sent to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for review.

To amend title 38, United States Code, to provide for an annual increase in the rates of compensation for veterans with service-connected disabilities and the rates of dependency and indemnity compensation for the survivors of certain disabled veterans, and for other purposes.

This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to increase the amounts payable for wartime disability compensation, additional compensation for dependents, the clothing allowance for certain disabled veterans, and dependency and indemnity compensation for surviving spouses and children. Specifically, the VA must increase the amounts by the same percentage as the cost-of-living increase in benefits for Social Security recipients that is effective on December 1 of each year. The bill requires the VA to publish the amounts payable, as increased, in the Federal Register. The VA is authorized to make a similar adjustment to the rates of disability compensation payable to persons who have not received compensation for service-connected disability or death.

SEIZE Act of 2025

The SEIZE Act of 2025 would give the U.S. government authority to seize and use assets belonging to foreign entities, likely targeting countries or organizations designated as threats to national security or involved in sanctions violations. This could affect international businesses, foreign governments, and individuals with assets in the United States who are connected to hostile regimes or sanctioned activities. The bill is currently under review by the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

Stamp Out Lyme Disease Act

The bill would direct federal health agencies to increase research, prevention, and treatment efforts focused on Lyme disease, which is spread by infected ticks and causes joint pain, fatigue, and other serious symptoms in thousands of Americans each year. It likely aims to improve how the government tracks Lyme disease cases, funds research into better diagnostics and vaccines, and educates the public about tick prevention and early treatment options.

BITE Act

The proposal would establish new regulations and oversight for how food and beverage companies market their products, particularly regarding claims about health benefits and nutritional content. It aims to protect consumers—especially children—from misleading advertising by requiring companies to provide clearer, more accurate information about what's actually in their products. The changes would affect food manufacturers, restaurants, and advertising companies that promote eating and drinking products.

Tick Identification Pilot Program Act of 2025

The bill would create a pilot program to help people identify ticks and understand which ones carry diseases like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. The program would likely involve educational materials, testing resources, or tools to help the public recognize dangerous tick species in their area. This would help workers, outdoor enthusiasts, and families reduce their risk of tick-borne illnesses.

Senior Security Act of 2025

National Senior Investor Initiative Act of 2025 or the Senior Security Act of 2025 This bill establishes the Senior Investor Taskforce within the Securities and Exchange Commission. The taskforce must report on topics relating to investors over the age of 65, including industry trends and serious issues impacting such investors, and make recommendations for legislative or regulatory actions to address problems encountered by senior investors. The Government Accountability Office must report on the financial exploitation of senior citizens.

FBI Animal Cruelty Taskforce Act of 2025

This bill would create a dedicated FBI taskforce to investigate and prosecute animal cruelty crimes across state lines. The new unit would help law enforcement agencies coordinate on cases involving serious animal abuse, fighting rings, and trafficking, giving federal authorities more resources to pursue these crimes. Animal welfare advocates and law enforcement agencies would benefit from having specialized federal investigators focused on these cases.

Invest to Protect Act of 2025

The bill would likely direct federal funding toward crime prevention and law enforcement efforts, though the specific programs and amounts would depend on the bill's detailed provisions. Based on its focus on crime and law enforcement, it probably aims to support police departments, community safety initiatives, or federal crime-fighting agencies. The bill is currently under review by the House Judiciary Committee.

Reclaiming Congressional Trade Authority Act of 2025

This bill would give Congress more direct control over trade deals and tariffs, reducing the president's ability to make major trade decisions on their own. It likely aims to shift power away from the executive branch so that lawmakers have a stronger say in negotiating trade agreements and setting trade policy that affects American workers and businesses. The bill has been sent to two committees for review before any vote can take place.

Expanding Access to School Meals Act of 2025

Expanding Access to School Meals Act of 2025 This bill increases student access to free school lunches and breakfasts under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program of the Department of Agriculture (USDA). Specifically, the bill expands program eligibility to include students in households with income at or below 224% of the federal poverty level. (Currently, students in households with income at or below 130% are eligible.) The bill also eliminates the reduced price school lunch and breakfast programs and prohibits USDA from providing reimbursements for reduced price programs. States may use Medicaid participation data to directly certify students for free school meals. (Direct certification allows schools to approve meals without the need for a separate application for children who receive assistance under other programs.) Under current law, states may apply to participate in a USDA demonstration project to directly certify children for free and reduced price meals based on household income data acquired through Medicaid. Further, the bill increases the number of free meals a school in a high-poverty area may be reimbursed for at the free-meal rate under the Community Eligibility Provision. (This provision allows eligible schools, groups of schools, and school districts to offer free meals at no cost to all enrolled students without collecting separate applications.) Specifically, the bill increases from 1.6% to 2.5% the reimbursement multiplier, which is used to calculate how many meals USDA will reimburse the school for at the free meal rate.

Meat and Poultry Special Investigator Act

The proposal would create a special investigator position within the U.S. Department of Agriculture to look into violations of meat and poultry safety and labeling laws. This investigator would have authority to conduct inspections and investigations at meat and poultry processing facilities to ensure companies are following federal food safety rules and accurately labeling their products. The measure aims to strengthen oversight of the meat industry and protect consumers from unsafe or mislabeled products.

FIRE Cancer Act of 2025

Firefighter Investments to Recognize Exposure to Cancer Act of 2025 or the FIRE Cancer Act of 2025 This bill expands the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's) Assistance to Firefighters Grant program for fire departments and emergency medical services organizations to include cancer prevention programs (e.g., multi-cancer early detection testing) for firefighting personnel. It also establishes a joint cancer research program between FEMA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through which firefighting personnel may voluntarily share the anonymized results of preventative cancer testing so the CDC can study trends or causes of cancer in such personnel.

ALYSSA Act

Alyssa's Legacy Youth in Schools Safety Alert Act or the ALYSSA Act This bill requires each local educational agency (LEA), as a condition of receiving federal elementary and secondary education funds, to ensure that each elementary and secondary school served by the LEA is equipped with at least one silent panic alarm for use in a school security emergency.

Cameron’s Law

Cameron's Law This bill increases the orphan drug tax credit to 50% (from 25%) of qualified clinical testing expenses paid or incurred in the development of drugs to treat certain rare diseases or conditions.
