HR9767In Committee

To allow direct shipment of distilled spirits by craft distilleries, and for other purposes.

Small distilleries would be allowed to ship their products directly to consumers across state lines, similar to how some wineries and breweries currently operate. This would let craft distillery owners reach customers in more states without going through traditional wholesale distributors, potentially lowering costs for consumers and helping small producers compete with larger companies. The change would affect craft distilleries, consumers who want access to specialty spirits, and the alcohol distribution industry.

HRES1431In Committee

Impeaching John Edwin Steele, Senior District Judge for the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

Congress is considering removing Senior District Judge John Edwin Steele from his position in the Middle District of Florida based on allegations of serious misconduct. If approved by the House and Senate, this would end his federal judgeship and bar him from holding future federal office. The case has been sent to the House Judiciary Committee for investigation and consideration.

HR9662In Committee

Birthright CLAIM Act of 2026

The proposal would change which children born in the United States automatically become U.S. citizens, potentially restricting birthright citizenship for children whose parents are not citizens or are in the country illegally. Currently, anyone born on U.S. soil is automatically a citizen regardless of their parents' immigration status, but this bill would alter that rule. The change would affect millions of children born to immigrant families and could require them to go through additional steps to gain citizenship.

HR9109In Committee

Stop ANTIFA Act of 2026

The proposal would officially label Antifa—a decentralized anti-fascist movement rather than a traditional organization—as a domestic terrorist group, which would allow federal law enforcement to pursue participants more aggressively and potentially freeze their financial assets. It also includes broader measures to combat domestic terrorism and organized political violence, affecting how federal agencies investigate and prosecute people involved in such activities. The bill has been sent to multiple congressional committees for review but has not yet been voted on.

2026-06-02
HR9498In Committee

Taxpayer Advocate Participation Act

The proposal would give the National Taxpayer Advocate—an independent official within the IRS who helps taxpayers resolve disputes—a stronger voice in how the IRS operates by requiring the agency to consider the Advocate's recommendations and report back to Congress on whether they've been implemented. This change would affect millions of taxpayers who struggle with IRS issues, as well as IRS operations, by potentially making the agency more responsive to complaints about unfair treatment or overly complicated rules. The bill aims to ensure that taxpayer concerns are taken seriously at the highest levels of the IRS rather than being ignored or overlooked.

2026-06-29
HR9568In Committee

HUSTLE Act

The proposal would allow student-athletes to set up special tax-advantaged savings accounts for money they earn from using their name, image, or likeness in endorsements and sponsorships. Similar to how people can save for retirement or education with tax breaks, student-athletes could put earnings from these deals into these accounts and potentially reduce their tax burden. This would affect college and university athletes who are now permitted to profit from their personal brand.

HRES1411In Committee

Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2162) to provide for the protection of the integrity of honey marketed in the United States, and for other purposes.

This resolution provides for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 2162) to provide for the protection of the integrity of honey marketed in the United States, and for other purposes.

HR9369In Committee

GHOSTRUCK Act

Truck drivers and their employers would be allowed to make corrections or add notes to electronic logging device records (the digital systems that track driving hours) as long as the person making the change is physically in North America and the driver approves the edit. This change would make it easier for drivers and companies to fix mistakes or clarify information in these records while maintaining oversight through driver approval. The rule currently restricts who can modify these records, so this would loosen those restrictions.

2026-06-18
HR9324In Committee

Government Bailout Prevention Act

This bill would prevent the federal government from using taxpayer money to bail out state and local governments or school districts that fail to pay their debts, and would block the Federal Reserve and Treasury Department from providing financial assistance to these entities if they default on their obligations. The measure aims to hold states, cities, and school districts financially accountable by forcing them to manage their own budgets without federal rescue funds. It would affect state and local officials, school administrators, and potentially taxpayers in those jurisdictions.

2026-06-15
HR9302In Committee

Student Athlete Act of 2026

The legislation would set federal standards for which student athletes can compete in college sports, likely addressing issues like transfer rules, eligibility requirements, and participation standards across schools. This would affect college athletes, universities, and athletic programs by creating uniform national rules rather than allowing each school or conference to set their own policies. The bill has been sent to the House Committee on Education and Workforce for review and debate.

2026-06-11
HRES1353In Committee

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives supporting the Department of State's efforts to prevent the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) from embedding themselves within the Iranian National Football Delegation during the 2026 FIFA World Cup and to limit the delegation's presence in the United States to the minimum time necessary for scheduled match play.

The House is expressing support for the State Department to prevent Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (a military organization) from using the 2026 FIFA World Cup as an opportunity to establish a presence in the United States by embedding members within Iran's national soccer team. The resolution calls for limiting Iran's delegation's time in the U.S. to only what's necessary for their scheduled matches, rather than allowing them to stay longer. This is a non-binding statement of congressional opinion rather than a law that would change existing rules.

2026-06-09
HRES1354In Committee

Impeaching John McConnell, Jr., Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

A federal judge in Rhode Island would face removal from office if the House of Representatives votes to impeach him based on allegations of serious wrongdoing. The measure has been sent to the House Judiciary Committee for investigation and consideration of whether the charges warrant a full House vote on impeachment. If the House votes to impeach, the case would then go to the Senate for a trial to determine whether the judge should be permanently removed from his position.

HR9160In Committee

No Safe Haven for Terrorist Families Act

The proposal would make it harder for close family members of designated foreign terrorists to enter or stay in the United States by creating a new legal reason to deny them entry or immigration benefits. This would affect people trying to immigrate or visit the country who have relatives involved in terrorist organizations abroad. The measure is currently being reviewed by the House Judiciary Committee.

2026-06-04
HR9078In Committee

LEASH Act of 2026

The proposal would require law enforcement agencies to report felony convictions for animal cruelty to a national crime database, similar to how they currently report other serious crimes. This would help track patterns of animal abuse across the country and could assist prosecutors and judges in making decisions about sentencing and bail. The change affects police departments, prosecutors, and the criminal justice system's ability to monitor this category of crime.

2026-05-29
HR8943In Committee

Our Doctors First Act of 2026

Medicare would stop paying for the training costs of doctors and medical residents who are not U.S. citizens or nationals. This change would affect hospitals and medical training programs that rely on federal funding to help cover the salaries and education expenses of foreign-trained medical professionals during their residency years. The proposal aims to redirect those federal education dollars exclusively to training American citizens and nationals.

2026-05-20
HR8942In Committee

GME Transparency Act of 2026

Hospitals that receive Medicare funding to train doctors in residency programs would be required to report whether their resident doctors are U.S. citizens or not. This would affect teaching hospitals across the country that participate in Medicare's graduate medical education funding. The information would help track the citizenship status of doctors in training at federally-funded medical programs.

2026-05-20
HR8805In Committee

ICE FROST Act

The bill would authorize extra payments to federal employees who work on immigration enforcement operations, such as border patrol agents and immigration officers. These supplemental payments would compensate workers for the demanding nature of immigration enforcement work. The legislation has been referred to congressional committees for review and consideration.

2026-05-13
HRES1055In Committee

Providing for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 7378) to amend the Calder Act to permanently adjust American time, and for other purposes.

This is a procedural measure that would allow the House to debate and vote on a bill to make daylight saving time permanent year-round in the United States, eliminating the twice-yearly clock changes that currently affect all Americans. The bill would apply to the general public, businesses, and government agencies that would need to adjust their operations under a permanent daylight saving schedule. The measure is currently in the House Rules Committee, which decides the terms under which bills are debated on the House floor.

HR5366Passed House

Doug LaMalfa Federal Disaster Tax Relief Certainty Act

Doug LaMalfa Federal Disaster Tax Relief Certainty Act This bill extends the federal tax deduction for qualified disaster-related personal casualty losses and the exclusion from gross income of qualified wildfire relief payments. Under current law, unreimbursed personal casualty losses arising in a qualified disaster area (qualified disaster-related personal casualty losses) are deductible (as an itemized tax deduction or as part of the standard tax deduction) if such losses exceed $500 per casualty. A qualified disaster area is an area with respect to which a major disaster has been declared during the period beginning in 2020 and ending 60 days after July 4, 2025, if the incident period begins on or after December 28, 2019, and on or before July 4, 2025. The bill extends the federal tax deduction for qualified disaster-related personal casualty losses by defining a qualified disaster area as an area with respect to which a major disaster has been declared if the incident period begins on or after December 28, 2019, and before January 1, 2027. The bill provides that the exclusion from gross income of qualified wildfire relief payments applies to such payments attributable to forest or range fires declared a federal disaster after 2014 and before 2027, regardless of when such payments are received. (Currently, qualified wildfire relief payments attributable to forest or range fires declared a federal disaster after 2014 and received after 2019 and before 2026 may be excluded from gross income.) The bill also provides statutory authority for several related tax rules.

HR6495Passed House

Taxpayer Notification and Privacy Act

Taxpayer Notification and Privacy Act This bill expands the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) notice requirements for contacting a third party (e.g., employer or bank) for information related to a taxpayer’s federal tax liability and the rights of the taxpayer in such situation. (Conditions and exceptions apply.) Currently, the IRS must notify a taxpayer at least 45 days in advance of a time period during which the IRS intends to contact a third party for information related to the taxpayer’s tax liability but is not required to specify what information is being sought. The bill requires the IRS to specify in a notice to a taxpayer each item of information sought from a third party when (1) the IRS has not previously requested such information from the taxpayer, and (2) the taxpayer can reasonably provide such information. This requirement does not apply if the IRS determines such third-party information is necessary. Further, under the bill, a taxpayer is allowed no less than 45 days (or more if requested by the taxpayer and deemed reasonable) to respond before the IRS contacts such third party.

HR8471In Committee

PRIMATE Act

The proposal would ban the importation of nonhuman primates (like monkeys and apes) into the United States, preventing companies and research facilities from bringing these animals into the country. This would affect zoos, medical research institutions, and pet importers who currently rely on obtaining primates from other countries. The measure is intended to restrict the trade in these animals, though it has been referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means for further consideration.

2026-04-23
HR8314In Committee

OPTIONS Act

This bill would allow employers to give workers a choice in how they receive certain tax-advantaged benefits, such as deciding between different types of retirement savings plans or health insurance options rather than accepting a single employer-chosen plan. The change would give employees more flexibility in selecting benefits that better match their individual needs while still receiving the same tax breaks that employers currently offer. Workers in companies that adopt this approach could customize their benefits packages to prioritize what matters most to them.

CLEAR Act

Without access to the specific text of this CLEAR Act bill, I cannot provide an accurate summary of what it would do. The title "CLEAR Act" is too vague to determine its concrete effects—it could relate to criminal justice reform, law enforcement procedures, crime prevention, or numerous other crime-related policies. To write a factual summary, I would need to know the bill's actual provisions and which specific aspects of crime and law enforcement it addresses.

HR7925In Committee

American Families First Assistance Act

The bill would provide financial assistance and support to American families, likely through expanded or new welfare programs and tax benefits. The specific assistance could include direct payments, tax credits, or enhanced benefits for low- and middle-income households dealing with economic hardship. The proposal is currently under review by the House committee responsible for tax and spending policies.

2026-03-12
HR7635In Committee

CHARGE Act

The CHARGE Act appears to address international trade and financial matters, though the specific details would depend on the bill's full text. Based on its referral to the House Ways and Means Committee, it likely involves tariffs, trade agreements, or how the U.S. conducts business with other countries, potentially affecting American businesses that import or export goods and consumers who buy foreign products.

HR1028In Committee

Protection of Women in Olympic and Amateur Sports Act of 2026

Protection of Women in Olympic and Amateur Sports Act This bill requires certified national governing bodies (NGBs) of amateur sports (e.g., USA Gymnastics) to prohibit a person whose sex is male from participating in an amateur athletic competition that is designated for females, women, or girls. Under the bill, male means an individual who has, had, will have—or would have, but for a developmental or genetic anomaly or historical accident—the reproductive system that at some point produces, transports, and utilizes sperm for fertilization.

HR7450In Committee

Disaster Zone Energy Affordability and Investment Act

This bill would likely provide tax breaks or financial incentives to help people and businesses in disaster-affected areas afford energy and rebuild their power infrastructure after major disasters. The tax measures would probably aim to reduce energy costs for residents and encourage investment in rebuilding energy systems in communities recovering from hurricanes, floods, wildfires, or other disasters. It affects homeowners, businesses, and energy companies operating in disaster zones.

2026-02-09
HR7452In Committee

Air Quality Act

The bill would establish or modify rules to improve air quality and reduce pollution from sources like vehicles, factories, and power plants. It affects environmental agencies, businesses that emit pollutants, and the general public by potentially requiring stricter emissions standards or new monitoring systems. The proposal is currently being reviewed by multiple congressional committees that handle energy, transportation, and environmental matters.

2026-02-09
HR7453In Committee

CLEAN Act

The bill would modify tax rules related to clean energy and environmental initiatives, though the specific provisions are not yet detailed in the referral stage. It has been sent to two committees—Ways and Means (which handles taxes) and Energy and Commerce (which oversees energy policy)—suggesting it likely involves tax incentives or credits for clean energy projects, renewable energy companies, or environmental compliance. The exact impact on businesses, workers, or consumers will depend on what the committees decide as they develop the legislation.

2026-02-09
HR7451In Committee

EXILE Act

The EXILE Act would establish new penalties and restrictions targeting immigrants in the United States, likely focusing on deportation procedures or immigration enforcement measures. Based on its referral to the House Judiciary Committee, the bill would affect immigrants, immigration courts, and federal enforcement agencies responsible for immigration policy. The specific details of how it would change current immigration law depend on the bill's full text, which would be reviewed during the committee process.

2026-02-09
HR7378In Committee

Daylight Act of 2026

The Daylight Act would likely establish or modify rules around daylight saving time, potentially making daylight saving permanent year-round or allowing states more flexibility in choosing their time zones. This would affect when Americans set their clocks, impacting everything from school schedules and work hours to when sunrise and sunset occur. The change would touch nearly every American household, business, and institution that relies on coordinated timekeeping.

2026-02-04
HR7165In Committee

WATCH Act

The WATCH Act would establish new monitoring and oversight requirements for health-related activities, though the specific provisions are not detailed in the available information.

HR5080In Committee

Department of War Restoration Act of 2025

This bill would rename the Department of Defense back to the Department of War, changing the official name of the agency that oversees the military and national defense operations. The change is primarily symbolic, affecting how the department is officially called rather than changing what it actually does or how it operates. The proposal would impact military personnel, defense contractors, and government employees who work within the department, though their day-to-day responsibilities would remain the same.

2025-09-02
HR5075In Committee

GRACE Act

The proposal would allow students who have defaulted on federal student loans to rehabilitate their loans and improve their credit standing through a structured repayment plan. It aims to give borrowers a second chance to get back on track with their education debt without facing permanent damage to their credit history. This would primarily benefit former students struggling with loan repayment and could help them access future credit for homes, cars, or other major purchases.

HR4972In Committee

Create Accountable Respectful Environments (CARE) for Children Act

This bill would establish new standards and requirements for childcare facilities and programs to ensure safe, respectful environments for children in their care. It likely includes provisions for training staff, setting safety protocols, and possibly providing funding or tax incentives to help childcare providers meet these standards. The legislation would affect childcare workers, parents using childcare services, and childcare facility operators across the country.

2025-08-15
HR4940In Committee

AIRFARE Act

Accommodating Individuals Requesting Familial Assistance in Riding Efficiently Act or the AIRFARE Act This bill directs the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to allow caregivers, parents, and guardians to accompany minors and passengers needing assistance to their flights. Specifically, the TSA must establish a system to expedite gate passes and flight access procedures for these individuals. The system must ensure that air carriers may offer up to two gate passes to caregivers, parents, and guardians who are accompanying a minor or a passenger needing assistance to a departing flight; and these individuals may apply their existing TSA PreCheck privileges to such gate passes. The TSA PreCheck program expedites traveler screening through participating TSA security checkpoints.

HR4820In Committee

Freedom from Government Surveys Act

This bill would limit the federal government's ability to conduct surveys of the public by requiring congressional approval before agencies can spend money on most surveys and setting stricter rules for how surveys are designed and used. The measure aims to reduce what supporters see as unnecessary government data collection and spending on surveys, though it could affect how federal agencies gather information needed to understand public health, economic conditions, and other policy areas. The bill would primarily impact federal agencies and the public by changing which surveys get conducted and how often.

2025-07-29
HR4618In Committee

Jamie Reed Protecting Our Kids from Child Abuse Act

The bill aims to strengthen protections for children by enhancing reporting requirements and enforcement mechanisms related to child abuse and neglect. It would affect healthcare providers, educators, social workers, and other professionals who work with children by potentially requiring them to report suspected abuse more consistently and giving authorities better tools to investigate and prevent child harm. The legislation is currently being reviewed by multiple congressional committees to determine which parts fall under their areas of responsibility.

2025-07-22
HR4554In Committee

Restoring Biological Truth to the Workplace Act

This bill would likely restrict workplace protections and policies related to gender identity, potentially allowing employers to make decisions based on biological sex rather than gender identity in hiring, employment, and workplace accommodations. It would affect transgender and non-binary workers by limiting their legal protections against discrimination in the workplace. The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce for consideration.

Addressing Hostile and Antisemitic Conduct by the Republic of South Africa Act of 2025

This bill would authorize the U.S. government to take diplomatic and potentially economic actions against South Africa in response to what lawmakers view as hostile treatment of Israel and antisemitic conduct by the South African government. The measure would likely give the State Department tools to pressure South Africa through sanctions, reduced aid, or other penalties unless the country changes its policies toward Israel and addresses antisemitism. The bill affects U.S.-South Africa relations and could impact American businesses and citizens with ties to South Africa.

HR3469In Committee

Tax Relief for Victims of Crimes, Scams, and Disasters Act

This bill would allow people who lose money or property due to crimes, scams, or disasters to deduct those losses from their taxes, reducing the amount they owe. Currently, most personal casualty losses can only be deducted if they exceed a high threshold, making it difficult for victims to get tax relief. The change would help crime victims, disaster survivors, and people defrauded by scams recover some of their financial losses through the tax system.

Eliminating Leftover Expenses for Campaigns from Taxpayers (ELECT) Act of 2025

Eliminating Leftover Expenses for Campaigns from Taxpayers (ELECT) Act of 2025 This bill terminates (1) the taxpayer election (on the federal income tax form) to designate $3 of income tax liability to be paid to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund (which would otherwise go into the general fund of the Treasury) for financing of presidential election campaigns, (2) the Presidential Election Campaign Fund, and (3) the Presidential Primary Matching Payment Account. The bill also requires funds remaining in the Presidential Election Campaign Fund to be transferred to the general fund of the Treasury for the sole purpose of reducing the deficit.

DEFENSE Act

Disabling Enemy Flight Entry and Neutralizing Suspect Equipment Act or the DEFENSE Act This bill allows the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or the Department of Justice (DOJ) to deputize state or local law enforcement officers to take certain drone countermeasures to protect stadiums and other public gatherings. Specifically, DHS or DOJ may provide state or local law enforcement officers with the authority to identify, monitor, and track drones; warn drone operators; disrupt or take control of drones; or use reasonable force to disable, damage, and seize or destroy drones deemed to pose a threat. This authority applies for the purposes of protecting an event, stadium, or venue; certain large public gatherings (e.g., gatherings that are primarily outdoors with an estimated attendance of at least 100,000 people); or other public gatherings protected by specific temporary flight restrictions imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Prior to being deputized, a state or local law enforcement officer must complete training in the use of the drone countermeasure authority. DHS or DOJ, in coordination with the Department of Transportation and the FAA, must exercise oversight over the use of this authority by deputized state or local law enforcement officers. Finally, the bill limits the equipment authorized for detecting, identifying, monitoring, or tracking drones to systems or technologies that are included on a list of authorized equipment maintained by DHS, in coordination with DOJ, the FAA, the Federal Communications Commission, and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration.

Iranian Terror Prevention Act

This bill would establish new measures to prevent Iran-related terrorist activities and strengthen U.S. enforcement against individuals and organizations with ties to Iranian terrorism. The legislation would likely affect foreign policy, law enforcement agencies, and potentially American citizens or companies doing business with Iran by imposing stricter penalties and monitoring requirements. The bill is currently being reviewed by committees that handle foreign affairs and legal matters to determine which parts fall under each committee's authority.

Honey Integrity Act

This bill would establish stricter standards and labeling requirements for honey sold in the United States to ensure consumers know what they're actually buying and prevent fraudulent or adulterated honey from entering the market. It likely aims to protect both consumers who want genuine honey and legitimate beekeepers and honey producers who compete against cheaper imported or mislabeled products. The measure has been sent to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for review.

Veterans Cannabis Use for Safe Healing Act

Veterans Cannabis Use for Safe Healing Act This bill prohibits the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) from denying a veteran any VA benefit due to participation in a state-approved marijuana program. For veterans participating in these approved programs, the VA must ensure its health care providers (1) discuss marijuana use with such veterans and adjust treatment plans accordingly, and (2) record such use in the veterans' medical records. Under the bill, the VA shall authorize physicians and other VA health care providers to provide recommendations to veterans who are residents of states with approved programs.

SWIM Act of 2025

The bill would allow people to set aside money in special tax-advantaged savings accounts specifically for swimming lessons and water safety training. These accounts would work similarly to existing education savings plans, letting families save money without paying taxes on the growth, as long as the funds are used for qualified swimming instruction and water safety programs. This would help make swimming lessons more affordable for families while encouraging water safety education for children and adults.

Veterans’ True Choice Act of 2025

This bill would give veterans more options for where and how they receive healthcare by expanding their ability to use private doctors and facilities outside the Veterans Affairs system while still receiving VA coverage. The legislation aims to let veterans choose between VA hospitals and clinics or private healthcare providers, potentially reducing wait times and giving them greater control over their medical care. Veterans would benefit from increased flexibility in accessing treatment, while the VA would need to adjust how it manages healthcare coverage and payments.

ACCESS Act

Without access to the bill's specific text, this legislation appears to address health care access issues, though the exact provisions remain unclear from the title alone.

Myakka Wild and Scenic River Act of 2025

This bill would protect a section of Florida's Myakka River by designating it as a Wild and Scenic River, which means the federal government would work with state and local officials to preserve the river's natural character and prevent large-scale development along its banks. The designation would restrict certain activities like dam construction and mining in the protected area while allowing existing uses like fishing and recreation to continue. The protection would affect landowners, local communities, and conservation groups in the region around the river.

No Support for Terror Act This bill establishes measures to prevent the allocation or use of certain funds to support genocide or terrorism. Specifically, the bill requires the Department of the Treasury to instruct the U.S. Executive Director at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to oppose the allocation of Special Drawing Rights to any country that is a perpetrator of genocide or a state sponsor of terrorism and to advocate that the IMF adopt a rule prohibiting such an allocation.

Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025

Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025 This bill generally prohibits school athletic programs from allowing individuals whose biological sex at birth was male to participate in programs that are for women or girls. Specifically, the bill provides that it is a violation of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 for federally funded education programs or activities to operate, sponsor, or facilitate athletic programs or activities that allow individuals of the male sex to participate in programs or activities that are designated for women or girls. (Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in federally funded education programs or activities, including in public elementary and secondary schools and in colleges and universities.) Under the bill, sex is based on an individual's reproductive biology and genetics at birth. The bill does not prohibit male individuals from training or practicing with programs or activities for women or girls as long as such training or practice does not deprive any female of corresponding opportunities or benefits. The Government Accountability Office must report on the benefits for women or girls in single-sex sports that would be lost as a result of male participation. In particular, the report must document the negative psychological, developmental, participatory, and sociological effects of male participation on girls.
