Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act of 2026

Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act of 2026 This bill authorizes the establishment of private-sector Unified Boxing Organizations (UBOs) and otherwise expands the regulatory framework for professional boxing. (See CRS Report IF12982 for an overview of the federal regulation of professional boxing in the United States.) Under the bill, UBOs may organize matches involving boxers contracted with the UBO and must comply with other regulations with respect to such matches (e.g., conduct matches under the authority of a state boxing commission). UBOs also operate alongside existing professional boxing organizations (e.g., World Boxing Council (WBC)). UBOs must meet certain additional requirements, for example the UBO must implement an anti-doping program that includes drug testing in advance of matches, boxers age 40 or older must receive supplemental physical examinations, each match must have at least two ambulances on site, and boxers must have access to equipment and facilities that are operated by the UBO for training and rehabilitation. The bill also expands the required health insurance coverage and minimum pay for all professional boxers. Further, the bill requires state boxing commissions to establish procedures to ensure that drug tests are administered for title matches and at random for all other matches.

Federal Relocation Payment Improvement Act

Federal Relocation Payment Improvement Act This bill permanently authorizes all federal agencies to pay employees' relocation expenses using lump-sum payments rather than reimbursements for expenses incurred. Under current law, several federal agencies currently participate in a pilot program that allows the agencies to pay relocation expenses using lump-sum payments rather than reimbursements. This bill expands the program by permanently authorizing all federal agencies to pay employees who relocate in the interest of the government a one-time, lump-sum relocation payment instead of any payment otherwise authorized or required for such purposes. The bill directs the General Services Administration to issue regulations to implement this bill, including regulations establishing (1) when agencies may authorize a one-time, lump sum payment under this bill or the payments otherwise authorized or required by law; (2) how agencies will calculate the lump-sum amount; and (3) the process for employees to dispute and appeal agency decisions.

This resolution directs the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to continue its investigation into the federal government's investigation of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and to release to the public committee records relating to the committee's investigation, subject to limited exceptions.

The resolution provides that the committee may withhold or redact portions of records with written justification that such portions contain (1) victims' personally identifiable information; (2) child sexual abuse materials; (3) images of death, physical abuse, or injury; (4) information which would jeopardize an active federal investigation or prosecution; or (5) classified information. The committee may not withhold or redact records on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity. The resolution states support for the committee's subpoenas and investigatory actions and encourages timely compliance with them. Additionally, the committee shall issue investigative reports as it deems necessary.

The resolution passed the House along party lines, enabling debate and votes on these measures that would affect defense spending, cryptocurrency markets, and how Americans interact with the Federal Reserve.
