HR9040In Committee

To establish fair prices for prescription drugs, and for other purposes.

The bill would give the federal government new powers to negotiate and set prices for prescription drugs, aiming to make medications more affordable for patients and reduce what Americans pay at the pharmacy. It would affect drug manufacturers, insurance companies, and anyone who takes prescription medications, potentially lowering out-of-pocket costs for patients while changing how pharmaceutical companies price their products. The proposal is currently being reviewed by three House committees to determine how it would work in practice.

HR8803In Committee

Iran War Oil Crisis Windfall Profits Tax Act

The bill would add a special tax on oil company profits when crude oil prices are high, then return the money collected to individual taxpayers as rebates. The rebates would continue until the President confirms that fighting with Iran has ended, the Strait of Hormuz shipping route is fully open, and oil prices fall below $75 per barrel. This would affect oil companies' profits and provide temporary tax relief to American taxpayers during periods of high oil prices.

HR8670In Committee

Stop Oil Exports to Lower Gas Prices Act

The proposal would ban the United States from exporting crude oil, gasoline, and diesel fuel if the country is engaged in military operations against Iran. This restriction would remain in place for the duration of any such military conflict. The measure affects oil companies and refineries that currently export these fuels, as well as international buyers who purchase American energy products.

HR7806In Committee

Direct File Act of 2026

This bill would allow the IRS to offer a free tax filing service directly to taxpayers, letting people file their federal income taxes through the government instead of being forced to use private tax preparation companies. The change would primarily benefit lower and middle-income workers who currently pay fees to file taxes or struggle with complicated forms, while reducing profits for commercial tax filing companies that lobby against such services. The bill addresses a long-standing debate over whether taxpayers should have a simpler, government-run option for filing their taxes.

HR7271In Committee

Evan Anzoo Memorial Act

The bill honors Evan Anzoo and addresses international affairs matters, though specific legislative provisions are not detailed in the available information. Once referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, lawmakers will review the proposal's details and determine what actions or policies it would implement regarding U.S. international relations and diplomacy.

HR7192In Committee

Hands Off Greenland Act

The bill would prohibit the United States from purchasing, acquiring, or attempting to acquire Greenland through any means, and would prevent federal funding from being used toward such efforts. It appears designed to prevent the U.S. government from pursuing territorial expansion in the Arctic region, affecting foreign policy decisions and international relations with Denmark, which currently controls Greenland.

HR4819In Committee

Click to Cancel Act of 2025

The legislation would require companies to make it just as easy for customers to cancel subscriptions and memberships as it is to sign up for them, typically by allowing cancellation through the same method used to subscribe. This would affect millions of consumers who use streaming services, gym memberships, software subscriptions, and other recurring payment services. The rule aims to prevent companies from making cancellation intentionally difficult or time-consuming in order to keep customers enrolled.

HR4382In Committee

America’s Olympic and Paralympic Games Commemorative Coins Act

The government would create and sell special commemorative coins to celebrate the Olympic and Paralympic Games, with proceeds going toward supporting the games and related programs. These coins would be produced in limited quantities and sold to collectors and the public at a premium price above their face value. The coins would serve as both a fundraising tool and a way for Americans to commemorate the Olympic and Paralympic events.

HR1841In Committee

Peace on the Korean Peninsula Act

This bill would likely establish a framework or policy approach for the United States to pursue diplomatic negotiations and peace-building efforts on the Korean Peninsula, potentially involving talks with North Korea, South Korea, and other relevant parties. The legislation would probably affect U.S. foreign policy strategy, military presence in the region, and diplomatic resources dedicated to reducing tensions between North and South Korea. The bill has been sent to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs for review and debate.

HR965Passed House

Housing Unhoused Disabled Veterans Act

The legislation would create or expand housing programs specifically designed to help disabled veterans who are currently homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. It aims to provide these veterans with stable housing and support services they need to transition off the streets and into permanent homes. The bill has passed the House and is now being reviewed by the Senate's banking and housing committee.
