Discount Window Preparedness Act

The Federal Reserve would be required to regularly test its discount window—the emergency lending system that banks use during financial crises—to ensure it works properly when needed. This testing requirement would help identify and fix any problems in the system before a real emergency occurs, protecting banks and the broader financial system from unexpected failures. The bill is currently under review by the Senate Banking Committee.

A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to the withdrawal of the rule relating to "Consumer Financial Protection Circular 2024-04: Whistleblower Protections Under CFPA Section 1057".

Congress is considering blocking a rule change by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that would withdraw protections for whistleblowers who report wrongdoing at financial companies. If approved, this resolution would prevent the agency from removing those whistleblower safeguards, keeping workers who expose fraud or illegal practices at banks and financial institutions protected from retaliation. The measure is currently under review by the Senate Banking Committee.

Ensuring Seniors' Access to Quality Care Act This bill repeals certain restrictions under Medicare and Medicaid that prohibit the approval of nurse-aide training and competency evaluation programs in skilled nursing facilities that have been subject to specified regulatory actions (e.g., civil penalties) for substandard quality of care. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) must still disapprove such programs for up to two years; however, the CMS must rescind the disapproval upon completion of corrective action and may require additional oversight of the program for purposes of rescission. The bill also allows Medicaid and Medicare providers (e.g., skilled nursing facilities) to access, through the National Practitioner Data Bank, disciplinary information for affiliated physicians and other health care practitioners, as reported by state licensing authorities.

Workforce Transparency Act of 2026

The bill would allow companies that develop or use artificial intelligence to voluntarily report information about how AI affects their workforce, such as job changes, worker displacement, or hiring patterns.

This voluntary reporting system would help policymakers and the public track how AI technology is reshaping the job market.

Save Struggling Hospitals Act

This bill would provide financial assistance to hospitals that are struggling financially, likely through grants, loans, or other federal support to help them stay open and continue serving their communities. The aid would primarily benefit rural and underserved hospitals that face challenges competing with larger medical centers or dealing with high uninsured patient populations. Patients in these areas would be the main beneficiaries, as the funding aims to prevent hospital closures that could leave communities without nearby medical care.

Hospice CARE Act of 2026

This bill would make changes to how hospice care is paid for and regulated under Medicare, likely aiming to improve access to end-of-life care services for seniors and ensure hospice providers can continue operating sustainably. The legislation would affect Medicare beneficiaries receiving hospice services, hospice care organizations, and potentially the costs taxpayers bear for these services. The bill is currently being reviewed by the Senate Finance Committee to determine its financial impact and feasibility.

Economy of the Future Commission Act of 2026

This bill would create a new commission to study how the U.S. economy is changing and prepare recommendations for Congress on how to adapt policies for future economic challenges.

This bill would officially name the outdoor amphitheater at the Blue Ridge Music Center in Galax, Virginia after Rick Boucher, likely in recognition of his contributions to music or the region.

PBM Reporting Transparency Act

This bill would require pharmacy benefit managers (the companies that insurance plans use to manage prescription drug coverage) to publicly report detailed information about their business practices, including how they negotiate drug prices and what fees they charge. The transparency requirements would help patients, doctors, and policymakers understand how these middlemen operate and whether they're keeping drug costs artificially high. The measure primarily affects pharmacy benefit managers and could influence how insurance companies and patients access prescription medications.

A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide a credit for increasing wages paid to child care providers.

The bill would allow businesses and organizations that employ child care workers to claim a tax credit if they increase wages paid to those workers. This tax break is designed to help child care providers earn higher pay, which could make it easier for child care facilities to attract and keep qualified staff. The measure would reduce the federal taxes owed by employers who raise child care worker wages.

A bill to amend the Community Development Banking and Financial Institutions Act of 1994 to provide for capitalization assistance to enhance liquidity.

This bill would give more money to community development banks and financial institutions that serve low-income areas and underserved communities, helping them have more cash available to lend to small businesses and residents who might otherwise struggle to get loans. By boosting these institutions' financial resources, the bill aims to increase lending and investment in neighborhoods that traditional banks often overlook. The measure targets financial institutions that focus on community development rather than maximizing profits for shareholders.

Yes in God's Backyard Act

This bill would make it easier to build affordable housing and other community projects by reducing zoning restrictions and regulatory barriers that currently prevent development. The legislation aims to help communities address housing shortages by streamlining the approval process for new construction, which could benefit renters and homebuyers struggling with high housing costs as well as local governments seeking to expand their housing supply. The bill has been sent to the Senate Banking Committee for review.

Methane Reduction and Economic Growth Act

This bill would likely use tax incentives or penalties related to methane emissions to encourage companies to reduce their methane output while supporting economic growth. The measure would probably affect oil, gas, and agricultural businesses that produce methane as a byproduct of their operations, as well as companies that develop methane reduction technologies. The specific tax changes would be determined by the Finance Committee as it reviews the proposal.
