PROTECT Act

The proposal would prevent the federal government from naming, renaming, or dedicating any federal buildings, lands, or other government assets after Donald J. Trump. This would apply to all federal properties going forward, affecting decisions made by federal agencies and Congress about how to honor or designate government facilities. The bill is currently under review by three House committees that handle transportation, natural resources, and government oversight.

Helicopter Safety Parity Act of 2026

This bill would require helicopters used for emergency medical services and rescue operations to meet the same safety standards and equipment requirements as commercial airplanes, potentially including improved crash protection and emergency systems. The measure aims to reduce injuries and deaths among patients, medical crews, and rescue personnel who depend on helicopter transport in urgent situations. Helicopter operators and manufacturers would need to upgrade their fleets to comply with these new standards.

MORE Act

Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act or the MORE Act This bill decriminalizes marijuana. Specifically, it removes marijuana from the list of scheduled substances under the Controlled Substances Act and eliminates criminal penalties for an individual who manufactures, distributes, or possesses marijuana. The bill replaces statutory references to marijuana and marihuana with cannabis . The bill also makes changes related to the economic impact of decriminalization, including the following: requires the Bureau of Labor Statistics to regularly publish demographic data on cannabis business owners and employees, establishes a trust fund to support various programs and services for individuals and businesses in communities impacted by the war on drugs, imposes an excise tax on cannabis products produced in or imported into the United States and an occupational tax on cannabis production facilities and export warehouses, and makes Small Business Administration loans and services available to entities that are cannabis-related legitimate businesses or service providers. The bill also makes changes to other federal programs and legal processes to account for decriminalization, including the following: prohibits the denial of federal public benefits to a person on the basis of certain cannabis-related conduct or convictions, prohibits the denial of benefits and protections under immigration laws on the basis of an event (e.g., conduct or conviction) relating to possession or use of cannabis that is no longer prohibited under the bill, and establishes a process to expunge convictions and conduct sentencing review hearings related to federal cannabis offenses.

Expressing opposition to the use of onychectomy, also known as declawing, for elective surgery in cats.

This resolution expresses Congress's opposition to declawing cats for non-medical reasons, calling the procedure harmful to the animals' health and welfare. The measure reflects growing concern among lawmakers and veterinarians that elective declawing—removing a cat's claws surgically—causes pain, behavioral problems, and long-term complications for pets. The resolution does not ban the practice but signals that Congress believes cat owners and veterinarians should avoid the procedure except when medically necessary.

Antisemitism Response and Prevention Act of 2025

This bill would establish federal measures to combat antisemitism and protect Jewish Americans from discrimination and harassment. It likely includes provisions for education programs, law enforcement training, and support for communities experiencing antisemitic incidents, while potentially addressing antisemitism in schools and public spaces. The bill affects schools, law enforcement agencies, and Jewish communities across the country.

Improving Helicopter Safety Act of 2025

Improving Helicopter Safety Act of 2025 This bill generally prohibits the operation of a civil helicopter within a 20-mile radius of the Statue of Liberty National Monument in New York, New York. The bill includes an exception for flights carried out for the purposes of (1) public health and safety (e.g., for law enforcement or the provision of medical services), or (2) heavy-lift operations in support of construction and infrastructure maintenance. The Federal Aviation Administration must issue or update regulations to carry out the requirements of this bill.

West Bank Violence Prevention Act of 2025

This bill aims to address violence in the West Bank region, likely through measures such as sanctions, restrictions on aid, or diplomatic actions targeting individuals or groups responsible for attacks. The legislation would affect U.S. foreign policy toward the Israeli-Palestinian territories and could impact American funding or trade relationships in the region. Congress is currently reviewing the bill to determine which committees should handle different parts of it.

Children’s Health Protection Act of 2025

This bill would strengthen environmental protections specifically aimed at safeguarding children's health by limiting their exposure to harmful chemicals and pollutants. It likely establishes new rules or enforcement mechanisms for industries and products that could affect children, such as restrictions on toxic substances in consumer goods, food, water, or air quality standards. Families with children, manufacturers of children's products, and environmental agencies would be the primary groups affected by these new protections.

Polluters Pay Climate Fund Act of 2025

This bill would create a new tax or fee on companies that emit greenhouse gases or produce fossil fuels, with the money collected going into a fund to support climate-related projects and initiatives. The revenue would likely be used for things like renewable energy development, infrastructure upgrades, or climate adaptation efforts, shifting some of the financial burden of addressing climate change onto the industries that produce the most pollution. The proposal affects oil, gas, coal, and other energy companies, as well as potentially large manufacturers and industrial polluters.
