This bill updates the Clean Air Act to treat prescribed fires—including Tribal cultural burns—separately from wildfires, making it easier and less costly for states and Tribes to exclude controlled burn air data from federal compliance. It requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to revise rules, sets deadlines for timely petition responses (with automatic approval after a year), and encourages collaboration on smoke events. The bill also creates the Smoke Ready Communities Program, offering competitive grants—up to 90% of costs, with special help for distressed communities—to help states, Tribes, and local entities reduce wildfire smoke hazards in public buildings, with a 25% annual cap per state.

This bill amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to strengthen food safety by expanding third-party audits of U.S. and foreign food facilities. It allows the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to use these certifications for import compliance and expedited programs. The bill enables the FDA to quickly share unredacted food safety data with state, local, Tribal, and territorial officials, and authorizes the destruction of imported food that poses health risks, with due process for owners and costs paid by them. Certain prescription drugs for personal use are exempt. The bill aims to better target risks, improve information sharing, and give the FDA stronger tools to keep unsafe food off the market.

Federal

This bill amends the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 to accelerate uranium enrichment facility development in the U.S. It lets companies start construction after filing a license application—before final Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approval—if they accept all financial risk and comply with federal laws. Applicants must notify state, local, and Tribal authorities at least 15 days before construction, ensuring transparency. The NRC keeps full authority over safety reviews and may still deny operation if requirements aren’t met. The goal is to strengthen the domestic nuclear fuel supply chain by reducing permitting delays, while maintaining regulatory oversight for public safety and environmental protection.

Federal

This bill repeals Trump’s Executive Order requiring federal agencies to create citizenship lists and restrict mail ballot delivery in federal elections. It nullifies the order, blocks federal funding for similar actions, and prohibits federal agencies—including the Departments of Homeland Security, Justice, and Social Security—from creating, sharing, or using national voter or citizenship databases. The U.S. Postal Service is barred from enforcing eligibility rules or restricting ballot delivery based on federal mandates. The bill keeps absentee and mail voting under state control, protects voter privacy, and ensures secure mail voting for all eligible voters, including military and overseas citizens. It affirms the reliability of state-run mail voting and postal delivery.

This bill would establish a national health insurance program for all U.S. residents, covering hospital, outpatient, preventive, prescription drug, dental, vision, mental health, substance use, and long-term care. It eliminates deductibles and copayments, except for limited, capped prescription drug cost-sharing with exemptions for low-income individuals. Enrollment would be automatic and phased in, expanding from children to all residents over four years. Once fully implemented, duplicative private insurance would be prohibited, though supplemental coverage is allowed. The bill also sets provider standards, centralizes health budgets and payments, preserves Medicaid long-term care, and requires nationwide data reporting for oversight.

Federal

This bill requires online dating platforms to promptly notify users—within 24 hours—if they’ve messaged an account that is later banned for suspected fraud, unless delayed by provider judgment or law enforcement. Notifications must identify the banned account, indicate when the last message was exchanged, warn about potential scams, advise against sending money or financial information, provide fraud prevention tips, and include customer support contacts. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and state officials will enforce the law, which creates a single national standard, shields platforms from liability, and takes effect one year after enactment to help protect users from romance scams.

Federal

This concurrent resolution instructs the President, under the War Powers Resolution, to withdraw U.S. Armed Forces from engaging in hostilities against Iran unless such action is explicitly authorized by Congress or needed to prevent an imminent attack on the United States or its allies. It also requires the President to comply with all reporting obligations if any forces remain to defend against imminent threats. This measure aims to restrict unauthorized military escalation, ensure congressional oversight, and clarify that further involvement in hostilities with Iran requires clear legislative approval.

Federal

This bill raises debt limits for those filing for streamlined bankruptcy, expanding eligibility for small businesses and individuals. For small businesses, the maximum eligible debt increases from $3.4 million to $7.5 million, allowing more companies—excluding large affiliated groups and publicly traded firms—to use a simplified bankruptcy reorganization process if most debt is business-related. For individuals and couples, it replaces separate current caps ($1,580,125 secured and $526,700 unsecured) with a single $2.75 million limit, simplifying who can file. These changes apply to new bankruptcy filings after enactment, broadening access to reorganization and repayment plans for more struggling businesses and households.

Federal

This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to update its northern border threat analysis every three years, focusing on changes in apprehension numbers and demographics across different sectors. DHS must also update its overall northern border strategy every five years, incorporating the latest threat analysis, and provide classified briefings to Congress within 30 days of each analysis. Additionally, DHS must develop new performance measures for Air and Marine Operations between ports of entry in air and maritime environments. All of these actions must be completed without new federal funding, using existing resources to enhance border security.

Federal

This bill imposes sweeping sanctions on Russian officials, state-owned banks, and affiliates, while also extending certain sanctions on Iran. It bans new U.S. investment and energy exports to Russia, blocks Russian entities from U.S. securities exchanges and sovereign debt markets, and raises tariffs on Russian goods. The President can increase tariffs on Russian imports up to 500 percent and on goods from countries supporting Russian oil or sanctions evasion up to 100 percent, with broad discretion over implementation. Sanctions may only be lifted after congressional review. Most provisions expire after five years, except for the Iran Sanctions Act, which is extended through 2031.

Federal

This bill is designed to make it simpler for employees to become part-owners of the companies they work for through special retirement plans called Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs). It creates clear rules for how managers of these retirement plans can determine the value of a company's stock when the company is not publicly traded. The bill allows managers to rely on independent experts who use trusted IRS guidelines to value the stock. The goal is to reduce confusion and legal risk for companies and plan managers, making it easier for employees to own a piece of their company and build retirement savings, while still ensuring that managers act in the best interests of the employees.

Federal

This bill requires state agencies to provide records to the U.S. Department of Justice, upon request, to support fraud investigations in federally funded programs like Medicaid, SNAP (food stamps), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), unemployment insurance, COVID-19 relief, disaster aid, and small business initiatives. Only information relevant to active fraud cases can be requested, and federal use is limited to law enforcement purposes. Strict privacy safeguards are required—including compliance with the Privacy Act, data encryption, restricted access, and prompt destruction of records after investigations. The Attorney General must report annually to Congress on the number of requests and outcomes.

Federal

This bill proposes creating a National Fraud Enforcement Division within the U.S. Department of Justice, under the Attorney General’s authority. The division would be led by an Assistant Attorney General, appointed by the President and designated for national fraud enforcement. Its responsibilities include coordinating large-scale fraud cases across states and federal agencies, guiding local federal prosecutors, and setting national priorities for combating fraud. The bill also amends existing law so the division and its officials are subject to federal prohibitions on political activity, helping maintain impartial enforcement.

Federal

This bill requires electric utilities to charge large non-residential customers—mainly data centers and similar facilities with peak demands of 100 megawatts or more—the full, incremental costs of any grid upgrades needed to serve them. These customers must provide financial assurances or upfront payments before upgrades begin and remain responsible for these costs even if they stop service. The requirements only apply when upgrades are necessary; if not, no special charges are imposed. It amends the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act, directing state regulators to review and decide whether to adopt these rules within two years unless similar standards already exist.

Federal

This bill would create a Department of Justice (DOJ) team focused on investigating and prosecuting trade-related crimes like tariff evasion, smuggling, money laundering, counterfeit goods, and unsafe imports. With $20 million in funding, the initiative aims to strengthen the Department’s ability to protect fair competition, American workers, and consumer safety. The team, made up of experienced prosecutors, would increase investigations and prosecutions under federal trade laws and coordinate with agencies like Homeland Security and U.S. Customs. The bill also requires the Attorney General to submit annual reports to Congress on enforcement actions, prosecution outcomes, and how funds are used.

Federal

This bill allows state attorneys general, local prosecutors, victims, and Members of Congress to sue the U.S. Attorney General to compel release of federal records related to Jeffrey Epstein if they are unlawfully withheld, redacted, or delayed. Victims can access full, unredacted records about themselves, with protections for other victims’ privacy. The bill bars most common law privileges as reasons to withhold information, requires written justification for redactions, and covers ongoing cases. Law enforcement and Congress are given expanded access and legal tools for enforcement, while officials who conceal or destroy records face strict penalties, including fines and imprisonment.

Federal

This joint resolution proposes to amend the U.S. Constitution to require that the U.S. Supreme Court be composed of nine justices—one chief justice and eight associate justices. By placing this requirement in the Constitution, the resolution would prevent future presidents and Congress from easily changing the number of Supreme Court seats. If adopted by two-thirds of both houses of Congress, the amendment would then need to be ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures within seven years to take effect, making it a significant and lasting change to the structure of the nation’s highest court.

Federal

This bill amends the Higher Education Act to deny certain federal funds to colleges that participate in nonexpressive commercial boycotts of U.S. strategic partners like Israel, unless justified by valid business reasons or federal exemptions. Schools seeking Title VI funds must annually certify they do not unreasonably restrict student or faculty participation in academic programs in Israel, and that Israeli students and faculty receive equal access to U.S. programs. Missing certification makes institutions ineligible for Title VI funds in the following fiscal year. The bill states that restricting academic cooperation with strategic partners undermines U.S. security and economic interests.

Federal

This bill amends the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act—a law that speeds up federal approval for major infrastructure projects. It specifically adds mining and mineral processing to those eligible for faster review, giving them the same expedited permitting process as transportation and energy projects. It also blocks a proposed September 2023 rule that would have limited which mining projects qualify for this fast-track process. These changes aim to make it quicker and easier for U.S. mining and mineral processing projects to get federal permits, reducing delays while maintaining broad eligibility for streamlined review.

Federal

The resolution broadly condemns socialism as fundamentally incompatible with American values and the U.S. Constitution. It argues that socialist ideology leads to concentrated power and has resulted in communist regimes, totalitarian rule, and mass atrocities—including over 100 million deaths worldwide. It specifically targets the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). It also calls for stricter election security measures, such as requiring proof of citizenship to register, government-issued photo ID at the polls, and stronger verification to ensure only eligible U.S. citizens can vote—including urging enactment of the SAVE America Act.

Federal

This bill would amend the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 to extend the duration of existing fishing regulations aimed at protecting the endangered North Atlantic right whale. Currently, these regulations are set to expire in 2028, but this bill would move that expiration date to 2035. As a result, any new or stricter whale-protection measures for the Northeast lobster fishing industry would also be delayed until after 2035. The bill does not change any of the rules themselves—it only extends how long they will remain in effect.

Federal

This bill tightens rules for secret government demands for emails, cloud files, and account records by requiring judges to find clear facts before approving gag orders (legally called nondisclosure orders or NDOs) blocking notice to individuals. Most gag orders would last up to 90 days, or one year for child exploitation or abuse cases. When a gag order expires, individuals must be notified by at least two methods and can request what data was turned over—except for certain sensitive or illegal content. The bill lets technology companies challenge unfair gag orders and requires the Justice Department to publish annual public reports on use and outcomes, including effects on news media.

Federal

This bill prevents a government shutdown by funding most federal agencies at 2026 levels through 12/11/26, with adjustments for WIC, disaster and wildfire response, Navy shipbuilding costs and $21.4 million in Medicaid funding for the Northern Mariana Islands. It extends transportation, cybersecurity, Homeland Security, technology modernization and veterans’ health and housing programs; renews African Growth and Opportunity Act and Haitian trade benefits through 2028; and extends customs fees through 3/31/32. It also blocks specified federal grant-rule changes, freezes congressional pay, provides two $174,000 survivor payments, and delays most restrictions on intoxicating hemp-derived THC products, including Delta-8 and Delta-10, until 12/11/26.

Federal

This bill would reform federal campaign finance by reinstating donation limits on Super PACs—committees that independently spend to influence elections. It amends the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to set “reasonable limits” on contributions, specifically applying the existing annual $5,000 cap (as of 2024) for individuals to Super PACs—ending unlimited donations. The bill addresses the surge in Super PAC funding since 2010, noting that most money comes from a few wealthy donors and raising concerns about corruption and foreign influence. By defining “independent expenditure committees” and capping their fundraising, the bill aims to restore public trust in federal elections. Reforms would take effect the first calendar year after enactment.

Federal

This bill would prohibit the Secretary of Labor from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) proposed rule on “Heat Injury and Illness Prevention in Outdoor and Indoor Work Settings.” This would block the Department of Labor from requiring employers to adopt federal heat safety measures such as heat plans, training, water, rest breaks, or cooling steps for workers in high-heat environments. The bill seeks to prevent the establishment of new nationwide mandates for protecting workers from heat-related health risks, instead leaving such decisions to employers or state governments rather than setting federal requirements.

Federal

This bill would require developers of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models above certain thresholds to register with the federal government, adopt risk management, conduct independent assessments, publish redacted transparency reports, and maintain robust cybersecurity. Independent auditors would verify compliance, and federal authorities could issue emergency orders to restrict risky AI. State Attorneys General could help enforce the law, with civil penalties for violations. The bill also blocks states from passing new developer-focused rules in areas like risk management and incident reporting, but allows states to enforce general laws, regulate AI end users, protect minors, and manage their own AI use.

Federal

This bill establishes federal standards for Division I college athletics. It mandates medical coverage and catastrophic injury insurance for student athletes, protects their academic and scholarship rights, and guarantees compensation and legal representation for name, image, and likeness (NIL) activities. It requires educational resources for athletes, preserves key football rivalries, and sets clear rules for membership and voting in athletic associations. It is neutral on student athlete employment status and does not override existing antitrust, copyright, or civil rights laws, while providing a process for civil enforcement with an opportunity to cure violations.

Federal

This bill proposes changes to federal law to address organized retail and cargo theft. It lets federal prosecutors combine related thefts within a 12-month period, expands offenses to include not only theft but also the movement, sale, and resale of stolen goods—including prepaid and gift cards—and updates asset forfeiture rules. It creates a national Organized Retail and Supply Chain Crime Coordination Center for information sharing, training, and joint operations among government and private partners. It also directs the expansion of grants and training for law enforcement agencies tackling these crimes.

Federal

This bill would require the federal government to update the monetary thresholds that determine when different federal purchasing rules apply every three years instead of five, starting in 2028. These thresholds govern when specific procedures—such as competitive bidding, contract approval, and oversight—are triggered in federal contracts. Moving to a three-year update schedule ensures these amounts are recalculated more frequently to better reflect inflation and current prices. This aims to keep purchasing policies aligned with economic conditions and avoid agencies being restricted by outdated limits as costs change.

Federal

This bill would amend the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA) to address provider fraud. It gives the Department of Labor authority to suspend payments to medical providers—including doctors, clinics, or suppliers—if they have been convicted of fraud in the federal workers’ compensation system, any federal healthcare benefit program, or similar state-level programs that pay for comparable services. The Secretary of Labor would be required to issue regulations to implement these changes. The new rules would take effect 180 days after the bill is enacted. Providers who have not been convicted of fraud would not be affected.
