Gateway Partnership Act

This bill likely aims to establish partnerships between the federal government and states or local communities to manage and protect public lands and natural resources more collaboratively. The legislation would probably give states and communities a greater say in decisions about how federal lands are used, managed, or conserved in their regions. This could affect hunters, hikers, ranchers, environmental groups, and others who depend on or care about public lands.

National Plan for Epilepsy Act

National Plan for Epilepsy Act This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish a national plan, form an advisory council, and take other actions to address epilepsy. The requirements sunset on December 31, 2035. Specifically, the bill requires HHS to carry out a National Plan for Epilepsy to prevent, diagnose, treat, and cure epilepsy. In carrying out the plan, HHS must implement activities such as coordinating research and services across all federal agencies and soliciting public comments. Also, HHS must establish an Advisory Council on Epilepsy Research, Care, and Services. The advisory council must report to HHS and Congress every two years with an evaluation of federally funded efforts. Additionally, HHS must annually report to Congress with recommended actions based on its assessments of the nation’s progress on epilepsy.

S5148In Committee

BOASBERG Act

Federal judges would be required to use random assignment methods when distributing new cases to individual judges in district and circuit courts, rather than allowing court administrators to choose which judge gets which case. This change aims to prevent any appearance of favoritism or bias in how cases are distributed and would affect all parties involved in federal lawsuits, from individuals to large corporations. The bill is currently under review by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

S4973In Committee

American Citizenship Act

This bill would change the legal definition of who automatically becomes a U.S. citizen at birth, specifically affecting children born to non-citizen parents in the United States. The change would interpret the Fourteenth Amendment's citizenship clause more narrowly than current law, potentially making it harder for some babies born on U.S. soil to gain citizenship. The bill would impact immigration policy and could affect millions of people's legal status and rights.

Removing Barriers to Work for Disabled Americans Act

Removing Barriers to Work for Disabled Americans Act This bill reauthorizes through 2031 the Social Security Administration’s (SSA’s) authority to carry out demonstration projects within the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program. The bill also imposes requirements related to beneficiary income, project funding, and SSA reporting. SSDI demonstration projects must be designed to promote attachment to the workforce and generally involve temporary changes to SSDI policies tested on a subset of beneficiaries. Participation in a demonstration project must be voluntary. SSA’s authority to carry out these projects expired on December 31, 2022. Under the bill, SSA must ensure that an individual’s participation in a demonstration project does not reduce their total income. Further, the bill specifies that administrative expenses related to demonstration projects must be paid from funds appropriated for administration. Finally, the bill requires SSA to report to Congress 120 days before initiating a demonstration project. This is an increase from 90 days under current law. This advance notification must include evaluation metrics for the relevant project.

Declaration of Independence Reaffirmation Act of 2026 This bill reaffirms and readopts the Declaration of Independence as an organic law of the United States and as the enduring charter of American independence, national sovereignty, natural rights, equal citizenship, and government by consent. (Organic laws are the laws that form the original foundation of a government.)

Enhanced Alerts for Missing Loved Ones with Disabilities Act of 2026

The Ashanti Alert system, which helps find missing people, would be expanded to include alerts for missing children and adults with developmental disabilities, Alzheimer's disease, or dementia. This change would allow law enforcement to quickly notify the public through radio, television, and wireless devices when someone with these conditions goes missing, similar to how Amber Alerts work for abducted children. The expansion aims to improve the chances of safely locating vulnerable people who may be at risk due to their medical conditions.

America First Citizenship and Allegiance Act

The bill would make it harder to become a U.S. citizen by requiring immigrants to receive instruction about the oath of allegiance and constitutional principles before naturalization, and it would create stricter penalties for anyone who lies or hides information during the citizenship application process. These changes would affect people seeking to become citizens and could slow down the naturalization process by adding new educational requirements.

SRES729Introduced

A resolution recognizing and honoring Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, and the Corps of Discovery, for their expedition to explore the Louisiana Purchase.

Congress is officially recognizing and honoring the historic achievements of explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and their team, the Corps of Discovery, who led the famous expedition to map and explore the newly purchased Louisiana Territory in the early 1800s. This resolution celebrates their contributions to American geography, science, and westward expansion without making any changes to existing laws. The measure passed unanimously in the Senate as a symbolic gesture of respect for this important chapter in U.S. history.

10 Years of ICE Funding Act

10 Years of ICE Funding Act This bill provides appropriations for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) through FY2036. Specifically, the bill provides specified appropriations to ICE for operations and support, including for the purchase and lease of police-type vehicles, for overseas vetted units, and for maintenance, minor construction, and minor leasehold improvements at owned and leased facilities. The bill also provides appropriations to ICE for procurement, construction, and improvements, including for acquisition of necessary additional real property and facilities, construction and ongoing maintenance, facility improvements, equipment, and related expenses.

Agricultural and Food Policy Research Centers Reauthorization Act of 2026

This bill would renew funding and authorization for research centers that study agriculture and food policy, allowing them to continue operating and conducting studies on farming practices, food systems, and related issues. The legislation affects agricultural researchers, universities that run these centers, and farmers who benefit from the research findings that help improve crop production and food safety. By reauthorizing these centers, Congress would ensure that the government continues supporting scientific work aimed at strengthening American agriculture and the food supply.

Taiwan and American Space Assistance Act of 2026

This bill would authorize the United States to provide space technology, expertise, and equipment to Taiwan to help strengthen its space capabilities and independence. The assistance could include satellite technology, launch services, and training for Taiwanese space programs, aimed at reducing Taiwan's reliance on other countries for space access. The measure affects U.S.-Taiwan relations and the broader geopolitical competition in the Asia-Pacific region.

Protect America Act

The bill addresses immigration policy, though the specific provisions are not detailed in the available information. Based on its title and referral to the Finance Committee, it likely proposes changes to how immigration is regulated or enforced, potentially affecting immigrants, employers who hire workers, and government agencies that manage immigration. The bill is currently under review by the Senate Finance Committee.

S3674Introduced

SCAM Act

The SCAM Act targets immigration fraud and schemes that exploit vulnerable people seeking to enter or stay in the United States, likely by increasing penalties for those who run fraudulent immigration services or help people submit false applications. The bill would affect both immigrants who might be victimized by scams and the operators of fraudulent immigration services. By cracking down on these schemes, the legislation aims to protect people from losing money to fake immigration consultants and lawyers while also strengthening enforcement against immigration fraud.

DETECT Nitazenes Act of 2025

This bill would make nitazenes—a class of synthetic opioids that are increasingly appearing in illegal drug supplies—easier for law enforcement and public health officials to detect and track. The measure aims to help authorities identify and respond to nitazene-related overdoses and drug trafficking by improving detection methods and information sharing between agencies. This would primarily affect drug enforcement agencies, public health departments, and communities dealing with opioid addiction.

The Senate passed a resolution commemorating the one-year anniversary of an assassination attempt on President Trump, condemning violence against political leaders and those who encourage such violence, and honoring the people harmed in the shooting. This is a symbolic measure that does not create new laws or policies but expresses the chamber's official stance against political violence. The resolution passed unanimously without any changes.

TICKET Act

Transparency In Charges for Key Events Ticketing Act or the TICKET Act This bill requires ticket sellers (including sellers on the secondary market) for concerts, performances, sporting events, and similar activities to clearly and prominently disclose the total ticket price for the event at the time the ticket is first displayed to an individual (and anytime thereafter during the purchasing process). Prior to completing a purchase, ticket sellers also must provide an itemized list of the base ticket price and each fee (e.g., service fee, processing fee, or other charge). The total ticket price must also be disclosed in any advertisement, marketing, or price list. Additionally, a ticket seller, secondary market seller, or ticket exchange that does not have actual or constructive possession of an event ticket is prohibited from selling or advertising a ticket for the event. However, a secondary market seller or exchange may sell or advertise a service to obtain an event ticket for an individual if the seller or exchange (1) does not market the service as an event ticket, (2) maintains a clear separation between the provided service and the event tickets throughout the entire purchasing process, and (3) clearly discloses that the service is not an event ticket. The bill establishes additional disclosure requirements for ticket sellers, secondary market sellers, and ticket exchanges, and requires such entities to issue a refund for the total ticket price if an event is canceled or postponed. The Federal Trade Commission must enforce these requirements.

Public Safety Free Speech Act

This bill would protect workers from being fired or punished by their employers for speaking out about public safety issues or workplace conditions. It likely aims to prevent companies from silencing employees who report safety violations, hazards, or other concerns that affect public welfare. The measure would give workers stronger legal protections when they speak up about matters affecting their own safety or the safety of the public.

WATCH Act

The WATCH Act addresses health-related policy, though the specific details are not provided in the available information.

Dismantle DEI Act of 2025

The proposal would eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs and offices across federal agencies and would prohibit the federal government from considering race, ethnicity, or gender in hiring, contracting, and grant decisions. It would affect federal employees, job applicants, contractors bidding for government work, and organizations receiving federal funding. Supporters argue it promotes merit-based selection, while opponents contend it could reduce opportunities for historically underrepresented groups.

A resolution calling on the Government of Panama to expel officials and interests of the People's Republic of China and terminate Chinese management of key Panamanian ports.

This resolution expresses concern about the presence and influence of China in Panamanian ports and infrastructure, particularly in facilities with strategic significance such as the ports of Balboa and Cristobal. The resolution calls on the Panamanian government to reaffirm its commitment to the permanent neutrality of the Panama Canal as defined by the Neutrality Treaty (i.e., the Treaty Concerning the Permanent Neutrality and Operation of the Panama Canal, signed in 1977) and terminate agreements allowing Chinese state-owned enterprises or private entities based in China to manage such strategic infrastructure. The resolution also urges the U.S. government to (1) leverage provisions of the Neutrality Treaty to address threats to the neutrality of the Panama Canal, and (2) develop a U.S.-Panama task force to oversee canal security and operations.

Protecting Higher Education from the Chinese Communist Party Act of 2025

Protecting Higher Education from the Chinese Communist Party Act of 2025 This bill prohibits certain members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and their families from receiving an F (academic student) or J (exchange visitor) visa. Specifically, this prohibition shall apply to any CCP member who has served in any position in the CCP since this bill's enactment. The prohibition shall also apply to a spouse, child, parent, sibling, grandchild, niece, or nephew of such an individual. These prohibitions do not apply if an individual must be admitted for compliance with the United Nations headquarters agreement or other international obligations. The President may waive these prohibitions by certifying to Congress that the waiver is in the U.S. national interest.

COLLUDE Act

Curtailing Online Limitations that Lead Unconstitutionally to Democracy's Erosion Act or the COLLUDE Act This bill limits federal liability protection, sometimes referred to as Section 230 protection, that generally precludes providers and users of an interactive computer service (e.g., a social media company) from being held legally responsible for content provided by a third party. Specifically, the bill removes the protection if a provider restricts access to or availability of content containing political speech because of a governmental request unless the request serves a legitimate law enforcement or national security purpose. In addition, the bill changes legal procedures for applying the protection. Currently, the protection serves as broad immunity that typically allows the early dismissal of lawsuits, thereby preempting lawsuits and statutes that impose liability for third-party content. This bill makes the protection an affirmative defense, which means the provider or user must prove that the protection applies before the lawsuit may be dismissed.
