Tax Cut for Striking Workers Act of 2026

Workers who receive financial assistance from their unions during strikes would no longer have to pay federal income taxes on those benefits. Currently, strike pay is treated as taxable income, which can increase a worker's tax bill during periods when they're not earning regular wages. This change would apply to union members across various industries who rely on strike benefits to cover living expenses while engaged in labor disputes.

RELIEF Act

The RELIEF Act addresses international trade and finance issues, likely aimed at providing economic relief related to tariffs, trade agreements, or financial obligations with other countries. Without more specific details about the bill's provisions, the exact impact would depend on whether it reduces trade barriers, modifies existing trade deals, or adjusts how the U.S. handles international financial commitments. The measure would primarily affect American businesses engaged in international trade, consumers who buy imported goods, and potentially workers in industries affected by trade policy changes.

TIP Improvement Act of 2026

The bill would change how tips are taxed for workers in the service industry, likely by adjusting tax rates, reporting requirements, or how tips are counted toward income. The changes would affect restaurant servers, bartenders, hotel staff, and other tipped employees, as well as the businesses that employ them. The bill is currently being reviewed by two congressional committees to determine which parts fall under their areas of responsibility.

Military CARE Act

The Military CARE Act would establish or expand healthcare and support services for active-duty military members, veterans, and their families. Based on the bill's focus on armed forces welfare, it likely aims to improve access to medical treatment, mental health services, or other benefits for people who serve or have served in the military. The House Committee on Armed Services is currently reviewing the proposal.

Baby Hygiene Tax Relief Act

Baby Hygiene Tax Relief Act This bill prohibits the imposition of duties (i.e., tariffs) on specified baby hygiene items (e.g., diapers, baby wipes, and baby changing tables) pursuant to certain presidential powers. Specifically, the bill prohibits the President from exercising authorities under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose duties on specified baby hygiene items entering the United States. (IEEPA provides the President with broad authority to regulate various economic transactions following a declaration of a national emergency.) Further, the President must terminate the duties on these items that were imposed pursuant to IEEPA and are in effect as of the date of the bill's enactment. The bill also prohibits the President from using any other authorities to impose duties on these items that are substantially similar to the duties imposed pursuant to IEEPA.

Apex Area Technical Corrections Act

Apex Area Technical Corrections Act This bill provides for the transfer of certain rights-of-way related to the Apex Project from the Department of the Interior to the city of North Las Vegas and the Apex Industrial Park Owners Association. Specifically, the bill modifies the Apex Project, Nevada Land Transfer and Authorization Act of 1989, which provided Clark County, Nevada, with the option to acquire certain federal land referred to as the Apex Site for use as sites for industries that generate hazardous materials (including the Kerr-McGee site). Under the bill, the Department of the Interior must grant utility and transportation rights-of-way to the city of North Las Vegas and the Apex Industrial Park Owners Association for the connection of existing electric power, water, natural gas, telephone, railroad, and highway facilities to the Kerr-McGee site and the other lands conveyed in accordance with the bill. Interior must also grant to the city and association such rights-of-way on public lands as may be necessary to support the development as a heavy use industrial zone of some or all of the lands authorized for sale by Interior within the Apex Site that lie outside the boundaries of the Kerr-McGee site. Transfers by the United States of any additional lands or interests in lands within the Apex Site or rights-of-way issued pursuant to this bill must be conditioned upon compliance with applicable federal land laws. The withdrawal of the lands within the Apex Site must continue in perpetuity for all of the transferred lands.

Capping Prescription Costs Act of 2025

This bill would limit how much Americans have to pay out of pocket for prescription medications by setting a cap on annual drug costs. The measure would affect patients who buy medications, insurance companies that cover prescriptions, and pharmaceutical manufacturers, with the goal of making medicines more affordable for people struggling with high drug prices.
