WATCH Personnel Act of 2026

If the federal government runs out of money starting February 14, 2026, this bill would keep the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) operating and pay its employees during that shutdown period. The TSA is the agency that screens passengers at airports and protects transportation systems, so this ensures airport security checkpoints and related operations continue functioning even if Congress hasn't approved a full budget.

Modernizing and Improving the National Terrorism Advisory System Act of 2026

This bill would update how the federal government alerts the public about terrorism threats, likely making the warning system clearer and more useful for everyday Americans. The changes would affect how the Department of Homeland Security communicates risk levels to the public, law enforcement, and private businesses so they can better prepare for or respond to potential threats. The bill has been sent to the House Committee on Homeland Security for review.

Kenya Merritt Renewing our PACT Act of 2026

Federal employees who were exposed to toxic burn pits while working overseas would gain improved access to workers' compensation benefits under this proposal. The bill would make it easier for these workers to receive medical care and financial support for illnesses they believe resulted from their exposure to hazardous materials burned in open pits at military and government facilities. This change would primarily affect civilian federal workers stationed abroad who may have developed health problems from breathing contaminated air.

Save the World Cup Act

The bill would allow certain foreign nationals to enter and work in the United States temporarily to support World Cup soccer operations and related events. It likely creates a special visa category or exemption to make it easier for international workers, organizers, and support staff to participate in hosting the tournament without going through standard immigration procedures.

PLATE Act

The PLATE Act addresses immigration policy, though the specific details of what it would change are not yet clear from the title alone. Based on its referral to both the Judiciary and Homeland Security committees, the bill likely proposes modifications to how immigration is enforced, processed, or regulated in the United States. The measure would affect immigrants, immigration agencies, and potentially employers or communities involved in immigration matters.

CLEAN–UP Act

The CLEAN-UP Act addresses environmental protection issues, though the specific provisions are not detailed in the available information. Based on its referral to both the Energy and Commerce Committee and the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, the bill likely tackles pollution, cleanup of contaminated sites, or environmental standards across multiple industries. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process and has not yet been debated or voted on.

State Actions For Employing Transportation Risk Assessments and Crossing Knowledge Strategies Act

This bill would require states to conduct risk assessments on their transportation infrastructure and develop strategies to improve safety at railroad crossings and other high-risk transportation areas. The legislation aims to help states identify dangerous locations and implement better safety measures to protect drivers, pedestrians, and railroad workers from accidents and injuries.

LEO Fair Retirement Act of 2025

Federal law enforcement officers would receive changes to their retirement benefits and pension calculations, potentially affecting how much money they receive after leaving their jobs. The bill addresses rules for officers working in agencies like the FBI, Secret Service, and other federal law enforcement organizations. These changes would impact current officers, future hires, and the federal government's budget for employee benefits.
