The End EPA Abuse Act of 2026 would amend the Clean Air Act to restrict the Environmental Protection Agency's regulatory authority. Specifically, the bill prohibits the EPA from creating rules that restrict vehicle sales or use, including rules that effectively phase out gas-powered cars, or rules requiring power plants to switch fuels or reduce electric grid reliability. The legislation also blocks the EPA from implementing regulations that rely on technologies that are not yet commercially available, are too expensive without subsidies, are geographically infeasible, or are otherwise impractical. The bill does not include specific funding allocations or implementation timelines beyond these restrictions. In essence, it aims to limit EPA environmental regulations by preventing actions the sponsors view as overreach.

This resolution impeaches Eleanor Louise Ross, a federal judge in Georgia, on three charges. The first article alleges Judge Ross engaged in an improper extramarital affair with a high-ranking Atlanta police officer over roughly two years, which created potential conflicts of interest in cases and violated judicial conduct codes. The second article claims Judge Ross attended a campaign event for a district attorney the evening before presiding over a criminal proceeding and mentioned drinking heavily at the event, violating rules against judicial political activity. The third article charges that Judge Ross made false statements when initially responding to an official investigation into the allegations, then recanted only after evidence was gathered against her, thereby obstructing the judicial misconduct process. The resolution was introduced in June 2026 by a bipartisan group of House members and was referred to the House Judiciary Committee. If passed by the House, the case would proceed to the Senate for trial to determine whether Judge Ross should be removed from office.

This bill would eliminate the temporary protected status (TPS) program entirely, which currently allows the federal government to grant temporary legal residency to foreign nationals from countries experiencing armed conflict, natural disasters, or other humanitarian crises. If enacted, all individuals currently holding TPS would be required to leave the United States within 60 days of the bill's passage, after which they would no longer be considered lawfully present in the country. The legislation affects hundreds of thousands of people from countries including El Salvador, Honduras, Syria, Ukraine, and others who have been granted this temporary protection status. The bill contains no specific funding provisions or implementation timeline beyond the 60-day departure requirement for current TPS holders. This represents a significant shift in U.S. immigration policy by eliminating a humanitarian program that has been in place since 1990.

H.R. 6372, the D.C. Shield Law Repeal Act, would repeal the Human Rights Sanctuary Amendment Act of 2022, a Washington, D.C. local law enacted in 2022. The bill would reverse all changes made by that amendment and restore any laws that the 2022 act had previously modified or repealed. The legislation was introduced in December 2025 by a group of Republican House members and was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The bill contains no specific funding provisions or implementation timelines, and it affects only D.C.'s local legal code. The exact details of what the 2022 Shield Law covered are not specified in this bill's text, which simply seeks to undo it entirely.

Common-Sense Law Enforcement and Accountability Now in DC Act or the CLEAN DC ActThis bill repeals the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022, enacted by the Council of the District of Columbia.Any provision of law amended or repealed by that act is restored or revived as if it had not been enacted.(The act sets forth a variety of measures that focus on policing, including measures prohibiting the use of certain neck restraints by law enforcement officers, requiring additional procedures related to body-worn cameras, and expanding access to police disciplinary records.)

H.R. 4788 would allow Members of Congress to carry concealed firearms in Washington, D.C. if they hold a valid concealed carry license or permit from their home state. The bill applies to all congressional members—senators, representatives, delegates, and resident commissioners—provided they are not prohibited by federal law from possessing firearms and carry valid photo identification. The legislation amends D.C. law to create an exemption to the District's existing firearms regulations specifically for this group. The bill would take effect immediately upon enactment and contains no explicit funding requirements or timelines beyond its effective date.

H.R. 4432, the Lanier Parks Local Access Act, modifies how the federal government uses user fees collected at recreation sites managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Specifically, it allows recreation fees collected at one location within a civil works project (such as a dam or reservoir) to be spent at any other recreation site or facility within that same project, rather than only at the specific location where the fees were collected. This change affects visitors to Corps-managed recreation areas and gives local managers more flexibility in how they allocate resources across multiple facilities at the same project. The bill does not specify new funding amounts or implementation timelines, instead amending existing cost-sharing provisions in the Water Resources Development Act of 1992 to expand how user fees can be used.

The Constitutional Hearing Protection Act would remove firearm silencers from federal regulation under the National Firearms Act, treating them as regular commercial products rather than heavily regulated firearms accessories. Currently, silencers require federal registration, a $200 tax stamp, and extensive paperwork; this bill would eliminate those requirements and order the government to destroy existing silencer registration records within one year of enactment. The legislation would also prevent states from imposing their own special taxes or registration requirements on silencers, though it would still allow standard sales taxes. Licensed manufacturers and importers would be required to serialize silencers for identification purposes. The changes would take effect 90 days after the bill becomes law and would apply to anyone acquiring or possessing silencers according to federal firearms law.

This bill requires the U.S. Postal Service to seek approval from the Postal Regulatory Commission before making major changes to mail delivery services that would affect service nationwide or significantly impact specific regions. The Postal Service must submit proposed changes at least 180 days before implementation, and the Commission has 180 days to issue an advisory opinion on whether the change is appropriate. Until the Commission issues its opinion, the Postal Service cannot spend money or take action to implement the change. The bill also allows Congress to disapprove proposed changes through a joint resolution within 60 legislative days after the Commission issues its opinion, and gives the Commission power to suspend any changes made without proper advance notification. The legislation applies existing federal administrative review procedures to these Postal Service proposals and affects mail customers and delivery operations nationwide.

The Stop Harassing Owners of Rifles Today Act would remove short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and certain other weapons from federal firearms regulation under the National Firearms Act. The bill narrows the federal definition of "firearm" to apply only to machine guns, silencers, and destructive devices, while exempting short-barreled weapons from existing federal registration and transfer tax requirements. The legislation also prevents states from imposing their own taxes or registration requirements on short-barreled rifles and shotguns, and it requires the Attorney General to destroy all existing federal registration records for these weapons within one year of the bill's enactment, with an effective date 90 days after passage. The bill affects gun owners, federal law enforcement agencies that maintain firearms registries, and state governments seeking to regulate these weapons independently.

This resolution proposes to impeach Chief Judge John James McConnell Jr. of the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island on charges of high crimes and misdemeanors. The resolution, introduced by Representative Andrew Clyde and nine other House members in March 2025, contains two articles of impeachment: the first charges the judge with abuse of power by allowing personal political views to influence his judicial decisions, citing his past work with Planned Parenthood, substantial Democratic campaign contributions, and public statements comparing former President Trump to a tyrant; the second charges him with conflicts of interest for presiding over a lawsuit filed by Rhode Island against the Trump administration while simultaneously serving as a director of Crossroads Rhode Island, a nonprofit that receives millions in state funding that could be affected by the case outcome. The resolution does not include specific funding amounts or implementation timelines, as it is primarily a procedural measure that would, if passed by the House, proceed to the Senate for a trial on removal. The impeachment would affect only Judge McConnell's position and does not directly impact federal funding, though it relates to the judge's oversight of a federally significant case.

This bill withholds certain highway funds from the District of Columbia (DC) unless DC removes the phrase Black Lives Matter from the portion of 16th Street NW that is between H Street NW and K Street NW (currently designated as Black Lives Matter Plaza) and redesignates the street as Liberty Plaza. In addition, DC must remove the phrase from websites, documents, and other materials which are under its jurisdiction.Specifically, the bill directs the Department of Transportation to withhold 50% of the annual Highway Trust Fund apportionment for DC on the first day of each fiscal year in which DC has not complied with these requirements.

H.J.Res. 53 is a congressional disapproval resolution that would overturn a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rule requiring mutual funds to file enhanced reporting forms and implement liquidity risk management programs. The rule, published in September 2024, requires investment funds to submit detailed portfolio information through Forms N-PORT and N-CEN and to establish procedures to manage potential liquidity crises. If passed, this resolution would nullify the SEC rule entirely, preventing it from taking effect. The bill affects mutual fund companies and investment firms that would otherwise be required to comply with these new regulatory requirements and reporting standards. No specific funding is mentioned in the resolution, as it functions solely to block an existing regulatory rule rather than to authorize new spending or programs.

This joint resolution nullifies the rule titled National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for Lead and Copper: Improvements (LCRI), which was submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency on October 30, 2024. The rule modifies the regulations under the Safe Drinking Water Act to further reduce lead in drinking water, including by directing water systems to replace all lead and certain galvanized service lines under their control within 10 years.

This joint resolution seeks to block an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule that would update dust-lead hazard standards and post-abatement clearance levels, which were published in the Federal Register on November 12, 2024. If passed, the resolution would use the Congressional Review Act—a process allowing Congress to disapprove federal agency rules—to nullify this EPA regulation entirely. The rule would no longer take effect if the resolution passes both chambers of Congress and is signed by the President. The legislation directly affects property owners, contractors, and developers involved in lead remediation and renovation work, as well as families living in older homes where lead dust poses health risks, particularly to children. No specific funding or implementation timeline is mentioned in the resolution itself, as its sole purpose is to prevent the EPA rule from going into effect.

This joint resolution nullifies the Department of Defense (DOD) rule titled Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Program (89 Fed. Reg. 83092) and published on October 15, 2024. Among other elements, the rule establishes the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Program. The program institutes policies regarding the protection of Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) that is processed, stored, or transmitted on defense contractor and subcontractor information systems during defense contract performance. The rule also identifies entities to which the rule applies and describes DOD implementation of the program.

This joint resolution eliminates new, more stringent certification, labeling, and enforcement requirements related to energy conservation standards for specific types of appliances.Specifically, the joint resolution nullifies a rule titled the Energy Conservation Program for Appliance Standards: Certification Requirements, Labeling Requirements, and Enforcement Provisions for Certain Consumer Products and Commercial Equipment and published by the Department of Energy (DOE) on October 9, 2024. Under the rule, DOE modified its regulations on the energy efficiency of certain types of consumer products (e.g., washing machines and dishwashers) and industrial equipment (e.g., computer room air conditioners). DOE modified certification requirements, labeling requirements, and enforcement provisions for these products and equipment to (1) align reporting requirements with currently applicable energy conservation standards and test procedures, and (2) provide DOE with the information necessary to determine the appropriate classification of products for the application of standards.

This joint resolution nullifies the Environmental Protection Agency rule relating to Decabromodiphenyl Ether and Phenol, Isopropylated Phosphate (3:1); Revision to the Regulation of Persistent, Bioaccumulative, and Toxic Chemicals Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) (89 Fed. Reg. 91486) and published on November 19, 2024. Among other elements, the rule revised regulations for two of the five persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic chemicals to address implementation issues and further reduce potential for exposures to such chemicals for humans and the environment (e.g., requiring the use of personal protective equipment during certain activities involving decabromodiphenyl ether).
