U.S. House of Representatives·Introduced Jul 21, 2026·Jul 21, 2026 — On agreeing to the McDowell amendment (A016) Failed by recorded vote: 214 - 216 (Roll no. 269).
Introduced
Amendment sought to authorize the Secretary of Defense to establish a school choice pilot program for members of the Armed Forces.
The Broadband Infrastructure Extension Act extends spending deadlines for federal broadband funding that was previously allocated through pandemic relief programs. Specifically, the bill allows states and local governments to spend their broadband infrastructure funds through September 30, 2027, instead of earlier deadlines, and extends spending authority for capital projects funds related to broadband through January 1, 2028. This legislation affects state and local governments that received broadband funding under the Social Security Act's fiscal recovery programs, giving them additional time to complete their projects. The bill does not appear to provide new funding but rather adjusts existing timelines to allow jurisdictions more flexibility in implementing broadband infrastructure improvements already funded through previous appropriations.

This bill directs the National Institute of Mental Health to expand research on mental health complications following pregnancy loss, including miscarriage, stillbirth, and abortion. The research efforts would include studies on causes and treatments, improved diagnostic techniques, and a national longitudinal study tracking the prevalence and characteristics of these mental health conditions, with progress reports due to Congress starting three years after enactment. The legislation also amends existing law to extend an existing grant program for maternal mental health services to include women who have experienced pregnancy loss, allowing funds to support screening, diagnosis, treatment, and support services for affected individuals and their families. The bill authorizes $4.5 million annually for fiscal years 2027 and 2028 for the research activities. However, organizations receiving grant funds under the service delivery program cannot perform abortions or fund other organizations that perform abortions, except in cases of rape, incest, or when the mother's life is in danger, and must certify compliance with this restriction or repay any federal assistance received.

H.Res. 1111 is a commemorative resolution that recognizes the 245th anniversary of the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, a significant Revolutionary War engagement fought on March 15, 1781, in North Carolina. The resolution honors the American and North Carolinian troops who fought in the battle, which resulted in a costly British victory that weakened British control over the Carolinas and ultimately contributed to the American victory in the war. The resolution does not establish new programs or allocate funding; instead, it encourages all U.S. citizens to visit the Guilford Courthouse National Military Park in Guilford County, North Carolina, to learn about this important historical event during the nation's 250th anniversary celebration. The resolution was introduced in March 2026 and referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources, serving primarily as a symbolic gesture of recognition and encouragement for historical tourism.

The MTS CYBER Act directs the Government Accountability Office to conduct a comprehensive review of the Coast Guard's budget and resources needed to manage cybersecurity risks to America's marine transportation system. The review, due within 270 days of enactment, will assess whether the Coast Guard has adequate funding for cybersecurity personnel, training, and enforcement; whether staff can effectively monitor industry compliance with new cyber regulations; and whether guidance to shipping companies is sufficient and aligns with industry best practices. This legislation responds to the Coast Guard's expanded cybersecurity responsibilities under a 2024 executive order and new maritime cybersecurity rules, while acknowledging that recent $20 billion in port infrastructure funding did not include specific cybersecurity allocations. The findings and recommendations will be reported to key congressional committees responsible for transportation, homeland security, and appropriations.

The Preventing Rogue Equipment for Synthetic Substances Act (PRESS Act) amends federal drug laws to crack down on the manufacture and distribution of pill press machines and related equipment used to produce counterfeit controlled substances intended for illegal import into the United States. The bill makes it illegal for anyone to manufacture or sell tableting machines, encapsulating machines, press dies, capsules, or related materials if they know or have reason to believe these items will be used to make drugs that will be unlawfully brought into America. Violations carry prison sentences ranging from 8 to 20 years depending on the specific offense and the quantity of chemicals or machines involved, with the most severe penalties applying to large-scale operations involving more than 1,000 kilograms of chemicals or 100 machines. The legislation also directs the U.S. Sentencing Commission to update federal sentencing guidelines to reflect these new criminal provisions. The bill targets both domestic and foreign suppliers of drug manufacturing equipment, reflecting concerns about illicit drug production networks that feed narcotics into the American market.

H.R. 6876 would authorize the President to impose visa sanctions against foreign nationals who perform or facilitate gender-affirming medical treatments on U.S. minors. The bill targets foreign physicians who are members of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health and those who work at facilities providing such treatments, including puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgical procedures. Foreign nationals sanctioned under this bill would be barred from entering the United States, have their visas revoked immediately, and lose eligibility for admission or parole. The Secretary of State would establish a process for individuals to report foreign medical professionals meeting these criteria and must submit a report to Congress within 180 days describing enforcement actions. The bill includes narrow exceptions for compliance with international obligations, whistleblowers who provide information about violations, and cases involving intersex conditions or detransition treatment.

This bill requires Medicaid and CHIP to cover speech therapy services for children with childhood fluency disorders, particularly stuttering, and to screen for these conditions during well-child visits. Specifically, the bill mandates that states include screening for stuttering and speech fluency disorders in regular checkups for children ages 2-6 starting January 1, 2027, and that they cover speech therapy treatment for these conditions with limits no stricter than those for other speech disorders. The legislation also requires the federal government to update its quality measures for children's health care to include screening for fluency disorders by January 1, 2026. These changes affect millions of low-income children covered by Medicaid and CHIP across the country, and the bill takes effect in phases, with measurement standards updated first and coverage and screening requirements beginning in 2027. No specific federal funding amount is specified in the bill, as these costs would be covered through existing Medicaid and CHIP budgets.
The Foreign Robocall Elimination Act directs the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to establish a multi-agency taskforce within 270 days to study unlawful robocalls originating from outside the United States. The taskforce will include representatives from federal agencies like the FTC and Department of Justice, along with seven private sector members representing voice providers, technology experts, marketing businesses, and consumer advocacy groups. Within one year, the taskforce must submit a comprehensive report to Congress examining the scale of foreign robocalls, which countries are the primary sources, financial losses to Americans, technical solutions like caller ID authentication standards, and recommendations for better international cooperation and enforcement. The legislation also requires the FCC to establish rules for providers to post bonds up to $100,000 before certifying their robocall mitigation efforts, though established telecommunications providers with proper regulatory oversight may be exempt, and it grants legal immunity to the private consortium that traces robocall origins when sharing information about suspected illegal calls.

The ALCATRAZ Act establishes a new federal grant program within the Department of Homeland Security to reimburse states and local governments for the costs of detaining migrants at detention facilities within their borders. States and localities can apply for reimbursement for detention expenses incurred starting January 20, 2025, by submitting applications to the DHS Secretary. The legislation funds this program by redirecting unobligated balances from FEMA's Shelter and Services Program to DHS. Within 90 days of the law's enactment, the DHS Secretary must submit a report to Congress outlining a plan to coordinate with states on constructing new migrant detention facilities and identifying federal or state properties available for this purpose, as well as identifying wasteful spending elsewhere in the department that could be redirected to support the program.

H.R. 4411, the Ban on Inkless Directives and Executive Notarizations Act of 2025, would prohibit the President from delegating his signature authority and ban the use of automatic signing devices like autopens for signing bills, executive orders, and pardons or commutations. The bill specifies that only the President himself can personally sign these documents. Additionally, the legislation would retroactively invalidate any bills, executive orders, or pardons that were previously signed using these prohibited methods, including those signed before the law would take effect. The bill does not include new federal funding or specify an implementation timeline beyond when it would become law. This legislation directly affects how the executive branch conducts its official business and could have significant legal implications for previously issued executive actions.

The Clarity for Opioid-Use Reduction and Expenditures (CURE) Act strengthens oversight of federal grants that states use to address opioid use disorder and addiction treatment. The bill requires the federal government to create a standardized system for collecting detailed data from states about how they spend these grant funds, including tracking who receives the money, how many people are served, and what specific activities are funded. States would need to submit this information quarterly to ensure accountability and prevent misuse of federal dollars. The law also directs Congress to receive more detailed reports about which organizations receive these grants and at what funding levels. These new requirements take effect 180 days after the bill becomes law, giving states and federal agencies time to prepare their reporting systems.

H.Res. 447 is a congressional resolution that condemns antisemitism and commemorates two Israeli Embassy employees, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, who were killed in what the resolution describes as a terrorist attack. The resolution acknowledges the rise in antisemitic incidents across the United States in recent years, including attacks on Jewish institutions and individuals, and characterizes this violence as part of a long historical pattern of persecution. The resolution calls on the House of Representatives to strongly oppose antisemitism in all forms—including physical violence, vandalism, online harassment, and discriminatory policies—and expresses support for enforcing existing hate crime laws and protecting religious freedom. As a resolution rather than legislation, this measure does not create new laws, establish funding, or carry binding authority; it serves instead as a formal expression of the House's position and values on these issues. The resolution was introduced in May 2025 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee.

This bill requires the Coast Guard to provide access to naloxone (a medication to reverse opioid overdoses) at its facilities, track distribution of the medication, and monitor the illegal use of of controlled substances. The bill directs the Coast Guard to update its policy regarding the use of medication to treat drug overdoses to require naloxone or a similar medication to be made available to members on all Coast Guard installations and in each operational environment. Further, the Coast Guard must participate in the Department of Defense (DOD) tracking system for naloxone distribution and the illegal use of fentanyl and other controlled substances. (The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 directed DOD to establish the tracking system.) The bill requires the Coast Guard to finalize a memorandum of understanding with DOD to facilitate Coast Guard access to the tracking system.The bill also specifies that laws that prohibit manufacturing or distributing controlled substances on vessels apply when controlled substances are intentionally or knowingly placed or caused to be placed on board a vessel (e.g., without the crew's knowledge or on board an unmanned vessel). Further, the bill requires the Coast Guard to brief Congress within two years after the bill's enactment about the use of opioids and overdose medication at Coast Guard facilities by members and personnel. The briefing must describe the Coast Guard's progress in implementing its updated policy, the prevalence and incidence of the illegal use of controlled substances, and its processes to mitigate substance abuse.

This bill creates two new federal crimes related to committing offenses while disguised or wearing masks. The first establishes a penalty of up to 15 years in prison for interfering with anyone's constitutional rights while in disguise, targeting conduct like intimidation or threats during protests. The second adds a mandatory 2-year sentence enhancement for anyone who wears a mask or disguise while destroying federal property. The bill explicitly protects law enforcement officers from prosecution under these provisions when they are lawfully performing their duties. According to the bill's findings, Congress cites concerns about masked protesters at universities and anti-Israel demonstrations, property damage at federal sites, and threats against synagogues as justification for the legislation. The bill contains no specific funding allocations or implementation timeline.
