HR7869In Committee

RAD Conversion Continuity Act

The bill would protect residents living in certain federally-assisted housing developments by ensuring they can continue receiving rental assistance if their buildings are converted from one type of federal housing program to another. This affects low-income renters who depend on government subsidies to afford their homes, preventing them from facing sudden rent increases or loss of housing during program transitions. The measure aims to maintain housing stability for vulnerable populations during administrative changes to how their buildings receive federal funding.

To designate the Pride flag as an authorized flag eligible for display at units of the National Park System, to express the sense of Congress that the Pride flag should be on display at the Stonewall National Monument in the State of New York, and for other purposes.

This bill would allow the Pride flag to be displayed at national parks and other sites managed by the National Park Service, and specifically calls for it to be shown at the Stonewall National Monument in New York, which commemorates the 1969 uprising that sparked the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement. The change would give park officials the authority to fly the flag alongside other authorized flags at these federal properties. The bill affects visitors to national parks and reflects Congress's view on recognizing LGBTQ+ history and heritage at these public sites.

Enhanced Cybersecurity for SNAP Act of 2026

Secure Firearm Storage and Suicide Prevention Act of 2026

This bill would require schools to educate students about safe firearm storage practices and suicide prevention, aiming to reduce access to guns during mental health crises. The legislation targets young people and their families by promoting awareness of how secure storage can prevent tragic outcomes, particularly among teenagers who are at risk.

GRADUATE Act

The GRADUATE Act appears to address tax policy related to graduate education or students, though the specific provisions aren't detailed in the available information.

HR7360In Committee

To amend the United States Housing Act of 1937 to permanently authorize the emergency safety and security grant program, and for other purposes.

The bill would make permanent a federal grant program that helps public housing authorities pay for emergency safety and security improvements, such as repairs to locks, cameras, and lighting systems. Currently, this program operates on a temporary basis and requires periodic renewal, so the change would guarantee ongoing funding for housing agencies to protect residents and staff from crime and hazards. Public housing residents, property managers, and communities with aging public housing stock would benefit from more stable, long-term security upgrades.

ROBINHOOD Act

The ROBINHOOD Act would impose a small tax on high-frequency stock trades and other financial transactions, with the goal of raising revenue and potentially reducing rapid trading that can destabilize markets. The tax would primarily affect wealthy investors and large financial firms that engage in frequent buying and selling of stocks, bonds, and derivatives. Revenue collected would likely go toward reducing the federal deficit or funding other government programs.

The bill has been sent to two congressional committees for review before any vote can take place.

2025-12-03
HR4176In Committee

No Secret Police Act of 2025

HR3002In Committee

Homeland Security Climate Change Coordination Act

This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to coordinate with other federal agencies on how climate change affects disaster preparedness, emergency response, and national security.
