SWIPES Act

PLEDGE Act

Schools in Washington, D.C. would be required to hold regular patriotic observances, such as reciting the Pledge of Allegiance or singing the national anthem, during the school day. The bill sets specific standards for how and when these observances must take place in elementary and secondary schools throughout the district. This would affect students, teachers, and school administrators in D.C. public schools.

A bill to amend the Public Health Service Act to streamline the review of biosimilar biological products.

The bill would speed up the government's approval process for biosimilar drugs, which are lower-cost versions of expensive biologic medications that work similarly to the originals. This change would help patients and insurance companies access more affordable treatment options more quickly, while giving pharmaceutical companies a clearer pathway to bring these alternative drugs to market.

Staged Accident Fraud Prevention Act of 2026

The bill would make it illegal to deliberately cause accidents involving commercial trucks and other large vehicles, a practice known as "staged collisions" that fraudsters use to collect insurance money. It would apply criminal penalties to people who plan or participate in these fake accidents, protecting truck drivers, insurance companies, and the public from this type of fraud. The measure aims to reduce injuries and deaths caused by intentional crashes while lowering insurance costs that result from fraudulent claims.

Ballots by Election Day Act

This bill would change voting rules so that mail-in ballots must arrive at election offices by the time polls close on Election Day to be counted in federal elections, rather than allowing ballots that arrive after Election Day to be counted. The change would affect voters who use mail-in ballots, election officials who process them, and potentially the outcomes of close races where late-arriving ballots currently matter. States would need to update their ballot-counting procedures to comply with this earlier deadline.

Servicemember Residence Protection Act of 2026

The proposal would prevent squatters from gaining legal ownership rights to homes owned by active-duty military members and veterans, overriding state laws that might otherwise allow someone to claim property after occupying it for a certain period of time. This protection would apply even if a service member is deployed overseas or unable to actively maintain their property during military service. The change aims to safeguard military families' homes from being lost to squatters while they are serving their country.

Space Ready 2.0 Act

NASA would be allowed to test a pilot program that lets the space agency invest directly in building and improving facilities at its research centers across the country. This would give NASA more flexibility to upgrade laboratories, equipment, and infrastructure without going through the usual lengthy approval process. The program would help NASA Centers modernize their facilities to support space exploration and scientific research.

TRADES Act

The proposal would raise taxes on investment earnings for wealthy private colleges and universities, then use that additional revenue to fund career and technical education programs that train students for specific jobs like plumbing, nursing, or electrician work. This would affect private educational institutions with significant endowments while directing more money toward vocational training options for students who want alternatives to traditional four-year degrees.

Charlotte Woodward Organ Transplant Discrimination Prevention Act

Charlotte Woodward Organ Transplant Discrimination Prevention Act This bill expressly prohibits organ transplant service providers that receive federal funds and state and local government programs from denying or restricting an individual's access to organ transplants on the basis of the individual's disability, except in limited circumstances. Specifically, these entities may not take into account an individual's disability when providing transplant services, including with respect to eligibility, referrals for services, and placement on waiting lists. Entities must provide reasonable modifications to policies or appropriate auxiliary equipment and services unless doing so changes the fundamental nature of the program or activity involved. Any consideration of an individual's disability must be based on an individualized assessment and comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and other applicable laws. The Office for Civil Rights of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) must consider for expedited resolution complaints alleging discrimination on the basis of disability with respect to organ transplant services. HHS must annually report to Congress on complaints received and recommendations to improve enforcement of the bill. In addition, the bill prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network's policies regarding allocating organs. This network is a public-private partnership linking professionals involved in the U.S. organ donation and transplantation system.

A resolution recognizing Father's Day and the role a father plays in the lives of children and adults.

This resolution honors Father's Day and acknowledges the important role fathers play in the lives of their children and families. The measure recognizes the contributions fathers make to their households and communities, though it does not create any new laws or programs. It has been sent to the Judiciary Committee for consideration.

STOP Scams Against Seniors Act

The federal government would allow police departments and law enforcement agencies to use grant money they receive to create special task forces focused on protecting elderly people from abuse, fraud, and other crimes. These elder justice task forces would investigate crimes targeting seniors and help coordinate efforts between local police, prosecutors, and social services. The change would help communities dedicate more resources to protecting vulnerable older adults from exploitation and harm.

Stop Child Care Scams Act of 2026

The federal government would reduce funding to states that fail to follow the rules and requirements of the Child Care and Development Block Grant program, which helps low-income families pay for child care. This would affect state governments, child care providers, and families who rely on these subsidies to afford care for their children. The bill aims to ensure states properly manage and comply with the program's standards by using financial penalties as an enforcement tool.

Protection of Lawful Commerce in Stone Slab Products Act of 2026

Protection of Lawful Commerce in Stone Slab Products Act of 2026 This bill prohibits civil actions in federal or state court against manufacturers or sellers of certain stone slab products. The term stone slab product includes a product made with quartz, mineral, crystal, glass, porcelain, or other stone, ceramic or similar material, that has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce. Specifically, the bill prohibits a civil action against a manufacturer or seller of a stone slab product for injuries arising from or related to the fabrication of the stone slab product by another party, including injuries caused by exposure to respirable silica or other substances. The bill requires any such civil action that is pending on the date of enactment to be dismissed.

LEO K9 Protection Act

The proposal would make it a federal crime to intentionally harm, kill, or injure animals that work for law enforcement agencies, such as police dogs and horses used by officers. Currently, harming these animals may only be prosecuted under state laws, which vary widely in their penalties. The bill would create uniform federal penalties for anyone who hurts these working animals during the course of their duties.

A resolution recognizing the 175th anniversary of the founding of Alpha Delta Pi Sorority.

Congress is recognizing the 175-year history of Alpha Delta Pi, one of the oldest women's sororities in the United States, which was founded in 1851. The resolution honors the sorority's contributions to women's education, leadership development, and community service over nearly two centuries. This recognition celebrates the organization's impact on its members and the broader college community.

PRESS Act

The proposal would make it illegal to bring pill press machines into the United States if they're intended to be used for making fake or illegal drugs, closing a loophole that currently allows these machines to be imported. This would help law enforcement crack down on criminal operations that manufacture counterfeit medications and illicit drugs, protecting public health by making it harder for drug makers to produce and distribute dangerous fake pills.

No Aid for Ghost Students Act of 2026

No Aid for Ghost Students Act of 2026 This bill requires the Department of Education (ED) to establish an identity fraud detection system for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Beginning on October 1, 2026, ED must use an identity fraud detection system to review each submitted application to determine whether the applicant presents a reasonable suspicion of identity fraud. If ED makes such a determination, it must notify the applicant and each institution of higher education (IHE) designated on the application that the applicant is subject to additional identity verification. An IHE may not disburse federal financial aid to an applicant that presents a reasonable suspicion of fraud unless the IHE verifies the applicant's identity in person or by live video. If the applicant's identity is confirmed, the IHE must notify ED that the applicant's identity has been verified. ED must establish guidelines for the identity verification procedures conducted by IHEs. (On April 26, 2026, ED began implementing a real-time identity fraud detection process within the FAFSA form that places applicants into one of four risk categories. High-risk applicants must confirm their identity by presenting documentation during the online application process, including via a live camera process. Applicants who are rejected via this automated process must then have their identity verified in person by IHEs.)

FLEX Act

Fostering Learning and Excellence in Charter Schools Act or the FLEX Act This bill expands and revises the Charter Schools Program (CSP), including by expanding the allowable uses of CSP funds. Current law authorizes competitive grants to state entities (e.g., state educational agencies and state charter school boards) and, through them, subgrants to eligible applicants (i.e., charter school developers) to enable them to open and prepare for the operation of a new charter school or replicate or expand an existing high-quality charter school. The bill allows subgrants to also be used for adding or expanding programs or other offerings at these schools, such as through the adoption of new academic programs or delivery models, personalized learning, or a new curricular approach. New offerings must enable additional students to enroll in and benefit from the school. Eligible applicants may also use CSP funds for activities such as hiring and compensating teachers and other school staff (currently, this may only occur during the planning period); carrying out necessary renovations, upgrades, or facility repairs, or acquiring portable classrooms; and providing transportation to students (currently, only one-time, start-up transportation costs are permitted). Eligible applicants may request and receive advance payments of subgrants. Among other requirements, the Department of Education must (1) use CSP funds for additional activities (e.g., increasing the number of available seats in charter schools that serve rural students and students with disabilities), and (2) consult with charter school operators prior to issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking relevant to charter schools.

A resolution prohibiting the use of funds for travel by Senators to or from their residence during Government shutdowns.

During government shutdowns, this resolution would prevent senators from using taxpayer money to pay for travel between Washington and their home states. The measure aims to hold elected officials accountable by requiring them to cover their own travel costs when the government is not operating normally, rather than continuing to receive government-funded transportation while other federal employees and services are affected by the shutdown.

A resolution prohibiting the use of funds for official travel by Senators during Government shutdowns.

This resolution would prevent senators from using taxpayer money to travel on official business whenever the federal government shuts down due to budget disagreements. The rule would apply to all senators regardless of party and would remain in effect until the government reopens and normal funding resumes. The goal is to ensure that lawmakers face the same travel restrictions as other federal employees during shutdowns.

National POW/MIA Memorial and Museum Act

This bill would establish a national memorial and museum dedicated to American prisoners of war and soldiers missing in action throughout U.S. history. The facility would serve as a place for the public to learn about and honor the experiences of these service members and their families. The project would likely require federal funding and coordination to construct and operate the memorial and educational center.

STOP FRAUD in Medicaid Act

States Taking On Power For Redressing All Unlawful Deceits in Medicaid Act or the STOP FRAUD in Medicaid Act This bill expands the scope of state Medicaid fraud control units to include investigating and prosecuting fraud in connection with the activities of individuals who apply for or receive Medicaid benefits. Currently, these units investigate and prosecute fraud in relation to Medicaid providers.

Home School Graduation Recognition Act

Home School Graduation Recognition Act This bill clarifies that students who complete their secondary education in a home school setting recognized under state law are high school graduates for purposes of eligibility for federal student aid.

Traditional Cigar Manufacturing and Small Business Jobs Preservation Act of 2026

This bill would protect small cigar manufacturers from certain federal regulations, likely aimed at preserving jobs in the cigar-making industry by exempting or delaying rules that would otherwise apply to their products. The measure would primarily benefit small cigar businesses and their workers by reducing compliance costs or regulatory burdens they currently face. The bill has been sent to the Senate health committee for consideration.

American Shores Protection Act of 2025

This bill would restrict or prohibit offshore energy development, likely including oil and gas drilling or wind farms, in U.S. coastal waters to protect marine ecosystems and shorelines. The legislation would affect energy companies, coastal communities, and potentially consumers by limiting where companies can extract or generate energy from the ocean. The bill has been referred to congressional committees for review and hearings have already been held to examine its impacts.

TEMP Act

Temperature Event Mitigation Policy Act or the TEMP Act This bill directs the federal crop insurance program to provide for research and development regarding a temperature-based index policy to insure crops (including tomatoes, peppers, sugarcane, strawberries, melons, citrus, peaches, and blueberries) on a nationally-available basis against losses due to a frost or cold weather event. The research and development must (1) evaluate the effectiveness of risk management tools with respect to low frequency and catastrophic loss weather events, and (2) result in a policy that provides protection for production loss or revenue loss. The term policy means an insurance policy, plan of insurance, provision of a policy or plan of insurance, and related materials. Under an index policy, claim payments are generally triggered based on a predetermined index that is entirely independent of the individual farm operation (e.g., temperature level). Under such a policy, the payments are automatically triggered when the index reaches a certain level rather than when an insured farmer files a claim.

Drone Espionage Act

Drone Espionage Act This bill makes it a federal crime under the Espionage Act to engage in certain activities related to obtaining, receiving, or transmitting video of national defense information. The term national defense information means information or other material that is related to national defense. The Espionage Act prohibits certain activities related to obtaining, receiving, or transmitting national defense information that could harm the United States or aid a foreign nation. Under current law, the prohibitions only apply if national defense information is obtained, received, or transmitted by certain means, such as a sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, document, writing, or note. Under current law, a violator is subject to criminal penalties—a fine, a prison term of up to 10 years, or both. This bill makes the criminal prohibitions under the Espionage Act applicable if national defense information is obtained, received, or transmitted by means of video. Under this bill, a violator is subject to the same penalties as under existing law—a fine, a prison term of up to 10 years, or both.

Pregnant Students’ Rights Act

Pregnant Students' Rights Act This bill requires each institution of higher education (IHE) that participates in federal student aid programs to provide certain information to prospective and enrolled students on the rights and resources for pregnant students to carry a baby to term or students who may become pregnant while enrolled at the IHE to carry a baby to term. In particular, this required information must include a list of community and on-campus resources that exist to help a pregnant student in carrying the baby to term and caring for the baby after birth, information about the accommodations available to help a pregnant student carry the baby to term and parent the baby after birth, and information on how to file a discrimination complaint related to the student's determination to carry a baby to term.

COP Act

Combating Online Predators Act or the COP Act This bill establishes new federal criminal offenses for threatening to distribute a visual depiction of a minor (or person believed to be a minor) engaging in sexually explicit conduct with the intent that the minor (or person believed to be a minor) create or transmit a visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct. (This practice is commonly referred to as sextortion .) The bill also prohibits attempts and conspiracies to commit the offenses.

Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act

Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act This bill creates new federal crimes related to transporting a minor across state lines for an abortion. Specifically, the bill makes it a crime to knowingly transport a minor across a state line to obtain an abortion without satisfying the requirements of a parental involvement law in the minor's resident state. A parental involvement law requires parental consent or notification, or judicial authorization, for a minor to obtain an abortion. The bill prohibits an individual who has committed incest with a minor from knowingly transporting the minor across a state line to receive an abortion. Finally, the bill makes it a crime for a physician to knowingly perform or induce an abortion on an out-of-state minor without first notifying the minor's parent.

Restore Trust in Congress Act

This bill aims to increase public confidence in Congress by establishing new rules and standards for how members conduct themselves and handle conflicts of interest. The legislation likely includes measures to improve transparency, ethics enforcement, and accountability for congressional representatives and their staff. The changes would affect how Congress operates internally and how the public can monitor their elected officials' actions and financial dealings.

Punishing Health Care Fraudsters Act

This bill would increase criminal penalties for people and companies that commit fraud in the health care system, such as billing for services that were never provided or overcharging insurance programs. The stricter punishments would apply to doctors, hospitals, insurance companies, and other health care providers caught engaging in fraudulent practices. The goal is to deter health care fraud and protect taxpayers and patients from losing money to dishonest schemes.

Halo Act

The Halo Act appears to address crime and law enforcement issues, though the specific details are not yet clear from the title alone. Based on its referral to the Judiciary Committee, the bill likely proposes changes to how law enforcement operates, criminal penalties, or crime prevention strategies that would affect police departments, courts, and potentially the public. Once the bill moves through committee, its concrete provisions—such as funding for specific programs, new criminal offenses, or changes to policing practices—will become clearer.

Safer Truckers Act of 2025

This bill would establish new safety requirements and regulations for truck drivers and trucking companies to reduce accidents and injuries on highways. It likely includes measures such as stricter driver training standards, limits on driving hours, vehicle maintenance requirements, or improved safety technology, affecting both professional truck drivers and the trucking industry. The changes aim to protect truckers themselves as well as other motorists sharing the road.

Space Ready Act

RIPPLE Act of 2025

Expedited Removal of Criminal Aliens Act

A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Energy relating to "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial Refrigerators, Freezers, and Refrigerator-Freezers".

Congress is considering blocking a Department of Energy rule that sets energy efficiency standards for commercial refrigerators and freezers used in stores and restaurants. If approved, this resolution would prevent those new efficiency requirements from taking effect, allowing manufacturers to continue making these appliances under the old standards. The change would affect businesses that use commercial cooling equipment and could impact energy costs for consumers.

Stop CCP VISAs Act of 2025

RECLAIM Act

CAPE Canaveral Act

Consolidating Aerospace Programs Efficiently at Canaveral Act or the CAPE Canaveral Act This bill requires the headquarters of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to be relocated to Brevard County, Florida within one year of the bill’s enactment.

Maintaining Cooperative Permitting Act of 2025

HELPER Act of 2025

Homes for Every Local Protector, Educator, and Responder Act of 2025 or the HELPER Act of 2025 This bill establishes a program administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development to provide mortgage assistance to law enforcement officers, elementary and secondary school teachers, firefighters, or other first responders. Specifically, these individuals may be eligible for a first-time mortgage on a primary family residence with no down payment. Instead, the mortgage is subject to a one-time, up-front mortgage insurance premium.
