Protecting Americans' Health Care Act of 2026This bill repeals the Medicaid provisions that were enacted under what is commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.Among other provisions, the act (1) requires individuals who are eligible for Medicaid as part of the Medicaid expansion population to engage in community service, work, or other activities in order to qualify for Medicaid; (2) generally restricts, beginning in FY2027, federal payment for Medicaid and CHIP to services for individuals who are U.S. residents and are either U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, Cuban-Haitian entrants, or Compact of Free Association migrants lawfully residing in the United States; and (3) generally limits Medicaid provider taxes beginning in FY2027.For more information about these and other Medicaid provisions in the act, see CRS Report R48633.

This resolution expresses Congress's view that Medicaid is a critical health insurance program for millions of Americans, particularly older adults, people with disabilities, and low-income families. The resolution acknowledges recent federal actions that will significantly affect the program, including nearly $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid over 10 years under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed in July 2025, elimination of healthcare tax credits in January 2026, and new eligibility rules and paperwork requirements taking effect in the fall of 2026 and January 2027. The Congressional Budget Office projects that 10 million Americans will lose health coverage as a result of these cuts. The resolution urges the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to work immediately with state Medicaid programs to issue guidance on how these funding reductions and new rules will impact states and their enrollees. This is a non-binding resolution that does not change law or allocate funding, but rather states the House's position on the importance of Medicaid and concern about the impacts of recent cuts.

Protecting Health Care and Lowering Costs Act of 2026This bill repeals the Medicaid provisions that were enacted under what is commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.Among other provisions, the act (1) requires individuals who are eligible for Medicaid as part of the Medicaid expansion population to engage in community service, work, or other activities in order to qualify for Medicaid; (2) generally restricts, beginning in FY2027, federal payment for Medicaid and CHIP to services for individuals who are U.S. residents and are either U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, Cuban-Haitian entrants, or Compact of Free Association migrants lawfully residing in the United States; and (3) generally limits Medicaid provider taxes beginning in FY2027.For more information about these and other Medicaid provisions in the act, see CRS Report R48633.

This bill establishes a 14-member Philadelphia Campaign Two Hundred and Fiftieth Commemoration Commission to plan federal activities recognizing the 250th anniversary of the 1777-1778 Philadelphia Campaign, a pivotal series of Revolutionary War events that helped convince France to ally with America. The Commission will include the Librarian of Congress, the Chief Operating Officer of the Museum of the American Revolution, and twelve qualified citizens appointed by congressional and presidential leadership, with the President serving as an honorary nonvoting member and potentially inviting the leaders of France and the United Kingdom to do the same. The Commission must submit interim reports six months and one year after the bill's enactment, with a final report due by September 30, 2028, recommending federal activities such as acquiring historical artifacts, creating digital educational resources, sponsoring public exhibitions and conferences, and coordinating with state and local commemorative efforts. The bill authorizes $2.5 million in funding for fiscal year 2027 and another $2.5 million for fiscal year 2028, with the Commission terminating 120 days after submitting its final report. Commission members will serve without pay but will receive travel expenses, and the Commission will seek office space and administrative support from the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia.

This bill would temporarily reduce federal fuel excise taxes when gasoline prices spike above $3.99 per gallon. Specifically, for each cent that the national average gasoline price exceeds $3.99, the federal excise tax on fuel would be reduced by one cent during that month. To offset the lost tax revenue that normally funds highway and environmental cleanup programs, the bill requires the Treasury to transfer money from the general fund to the Highway Trust Fund and the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund. At the same time, the bill prohibits oil and gas companies from claiming certain tax credits and deductions during these high-price periods, including deductions for intangible drilling costs and credits for enhanced oil recovery and marginal well production. The changes would take effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025.

H.R. 7763, the Protecting American History Act, directs the Secretary of the Interior to restore interpretive and educational exhibits at Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia that were removed from public display after January 21, 2026, within 15 days of the bill's enactment. The legislation prevents future removal, alteration, or destruction of exhibits at the park without explicit Congressional approval. This bill affects the National Park Service's management of the historical park and potentially impacts how the park presents its educational materials to the public. No specific funding amount is mentioned in the bill, and it establishes an immediate 15-day timeline for restoring any removed exhibits. The bill was introduced by Pennsylvania Representatives Boyle, Evans, and Scanlon and referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.

This resolution expresses congressional support for designating November 2025 as "National Lung Cancer Awareness Month" and endorses efforts to promote early detection and treatment of lung cancer. The resolution highlights the serious public health burden of lung cancer, which is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, with an estimated 124,730 deaths expected in 2025—accounting for more than 340 deaths per day. The resolution calls attention to disparities in lung cancer incidence and screening, noting that Black men face the highest burden, veterans are 25 percent more likely to develop the disease but fewer than 3 percent receive screening, and women who have never smoked are at particular risk. The resolution encourages public awareness and education about lung cancer screening, prevention, and treatment, while emphasizing the need to address barriers to early detection and reduce stigma surrounding the disease. No new federal funding is created by this resolution, as it is a symbolic measure expressing the House's support for awareness efforts rather than legislation that establishes new programs or appropriates money.

Federal Employees Civil Relief Act This bill establishes a framework to temporarily suspend certain judicial and administrative proceedings against a federal employee or contractor during a shutdown. Under the bill, a shutdown is a period in which (1) there is more than a 24-hour lapse in appropriations for any federal agency or department because a regular appropriations bill or a continuing resolution has not been enacted, or (2) the debt of the federal government is greater than the statutory limit. A federal worker (i.e., an employee of a government agency or contractor) who is furloughed or required to work without pay during a shutdown may apply to a court for a temporary stay, postponement, or suspension with respect to any payment of rent, mortgage, tax, fine, penalty, insurance premium, student loan repayment, or other civil obligation or liability that the worker owes or would owe during the duration of the shutdown. The bill includes related provisions that restrict evictions, foreclosures, the enforcement of liens, and the termination of insurance policies during a shutdown. It also provides for the deferral of federal income taxes and student loan payments during a shutdown. The Department of Justice may commence a civil action against any person who engages in (1) a pattern or practice of violating the requirements of this bill, or (2) a violation that raises an issue of significant public importance. A person aggrieved by a violation of this bill's requirements may also bring a private right of action.

H.R. 5380, the Labor Market Response Act, requires organizations applying for health profession opportunity grants under Social Security Act section 2008 to include evidence that their proposed training programs address in-demand jobs or actual worker shortages in their applications. The bill affects grant applicants—typically workforce development organizations and training programs—by adding a new documentation requirement to demonstrate their programs meet real labor market needs rather than training for positions with weak job prospects. The legislation contains no new federal funding and takes effect on October 1, 2025. This change aims to make the grant program more responsive to actual employment opportunities and ensure federal resources support training in fields where workers are genuinely needed.

The Congressional Power of the Purse Act strengthens Congress's control over federal spending by restricting the President's ability to withhold, delay, or redirect appropriated funds, while expanding congressional oversight of the executive branch's budget decisions. The legislation eliminates expedited presidential rescission procedures, requires agencies to obligate funds promptly and notify Congress of delays, enhances the Comptroller General's authority to investigate spending violations and sue in federal court, and establishes penalties including fines and imprisonment for federal officials who willfully withhold budget information. The bill also imposes new transparency requirements on emergency spending, mandates detailed reporting on budget authority management and Antideficiency Act violations, and creates a new Inspector General for the Office of Management and Budget. Additionally, the legislation establishes a congressional approval process for presidential national emergency declarations, with emergency powers automatically expiring after 45 days unless Congress votes to renew them, and requires the President to submit detailed emergency reports and sensitive contingency plans to Congress for oversight. These provisions take effect immediately for most requirements, with enhanced presidential budget reporting required beginning in fiscal year 2027 and OMB Inspector General establishment within 120 days.

The Debt Ceiling Reform Act establishes a new automatic process for raising the federal debt ceiling without requiring separate congressional approval votes. When the Treasury Secretary determines that additional borrowing is necessary, he or she submits written certification to Congress specifying how long the debt ceiling should be suspended—up to two years. Congress then has 45 calendar days to pass a joint resolution disapproving the suspension; if no disapproval resolution passes within that window, the debt ceiling automatically suspends for the period specified by the Treasury. The bill streamlines floor procedures in both the House and Senate to expedite consideration of any disapproval resolution, with strict time limits on debate and amendment. This reform is designed to prevent government defaults on existing obligations while reducing the need for repeated partisan standoffs over debt ceiling increases, though Congress retains the power to block the suspension if it acts within the 45-day deadline.

The Medicare and Social Security Fair Share Act increases payroll and investment income taxes on higher earners to boost funding for Social Security and Medicare. The bill raises the wage cap for Social Security payroll taxes from the current level to $400,000, imposing an additional 1.2 percent Medicare tax on wages above $400,000 (or $500,000 for joint filers) and a similar tax on self-employment income above those thresholds. Additionally, the bill adds a 13.6 percent tax on investment income for high earners—those making more than $400,000 (or $500,000 for joint filers)—and increases the investment income tax rate for trusts and estates from 3.8 percent to 17.4 percent. The new revenues from these tax increases are allocated to Social Security's Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund, the Disability Insurance Trust Fund, and Medicare's Hospital Insurance Trust Fund. All changes take effect beginning January 1 of the first calendar year after the bill becomes law.

Hands Off Medicaid and SNAP Act of 2025This bill establishes a budget point of order against considering budget reconciliation legislation in the House or the Senate that (1) reduces enrollment or benefits for individuals enrolled in the Medicaid program, or (2) reduces eligibility or benefits for households that participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).(Under current law, reconciliation bills are considered by Congress using expedited legislative procedures that prevent a filibuster and restrict amendments in the Senate.)The point of order expires on January 20, 2029.

The Tax Fairness for Workers Act would provide tax relief to workers by allowing them to deduct certain job-related expenses from their income. Specifically, the bill allows workers to deduct union dues and expenses "above-the-line," meaning they can claim these deductions without itemizing their taxes, making it easier and more valuable for union members. The bill also restores the ability for all workers to deduct other unreimbursed work expenses—such as required uniforms, professional development, or equipment—as miscellaneous itemized deductions. These provisions would apply to tax returns filed for years beginning after December 31, 2024. The legislation was introduced by Representative Boyle and a large bipartisan group of lawmakers and has been referred to the House Ways and Means Committee.

Mental and Physical Health Care Comorbidities Act of 2025This bill establishes a demonstration program to test hospital innovations that support low-income or uninsured individuals with serious mental and physical health comorbidities and to identify appropriate payment reforms under Medicare and Medicaid.Participating hospitals must (1) have a proportionally high number of Medicare or Medicaid patients, and (2) develop a plan and related quality metrics for innovations to provide coordinated care and address social determinants of health for individuals with serious mental illness or emotional disturbance and physical comorbidities (e.g., chronic conditions).

The Paying a Fair Share Act of 2025 would impose a new minimum tax on high-income earners designed to ensure wealthy Americans pay at least 30 percent of their income in federal taxes. The tax applies to individuals earning over $1 million annually (adjusted for inflation each year after 2025) and married couples filing separately earning over $500,000, and it would be calculated by comparing what they owe under this new rule to their regular income taxes plus payroll taxes. The bill does not allocate specific new funding but is intended to raise revenue by closing what supporters view as unfair tax advantages for wealthy individuals; charitable donations would still be partially deductible under this new tax. The legislation takes effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, and House sponsors characterize it as an interim step toward broader tax reform that could reduce the federal deficit while serving as a floor ensuring the wealthiest taxpayers contribute their fair share.

Women and Lung Cancer Research and Preventive Services Act of 2025This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct an interagency review to accelerate lung cancer research, prevention, and awareness with respect to women and underserved populations.The review mustreport on the status of existing research and current knowledge gaps;identify new opportunities for collaborative research to determine the causes of lung cancer and advance prevention, screening, diagnosis, and treatment; andprovide recommendations for a national lung cancer screening strategy and public education campaign.

This concurrent resolution directs Congress to hold a joint session in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on July 2, 2026, to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The ceremony will take place at Independence National Historical Park, the historic site where the Declaration was approved on July 4, 1776. This will be only the third time since the nation's capital moved to Washington, D.C., in 1800 that Congress has convened outside the capital—the previous occasions were in 1987 at Independence Hall to mark the Constitution's bicentennial and in 2002 at Federal Hall in New York to honor September 11 victims. The resolution has no specific funding allocation mentioned, as it is a procedural measure authorizing the congressional meeting rather than an appropriations bill. The bipartisan legislation was introduced by Pennsylvania representatives on February 27, 2025, recognizing Philadelphia's central role in American founding history.

This resolution congratulates the Philadelphia Eagles on winning Super Bowl LIX, which they won 40-22 against the Kansas City Chiefs on February 9, 2025. The bill highlights key moments from the game, including quarterback Jalen Hurts being named MVP with 221 passing yards and 72 rushing yards, and defensive back Cooper DeJean's interception return for a touchdown. The resolution recognizes the team's resilience in overcoming injuries during the season and praises Head Coach Nick Sirianni's leadership and the organization's achievement in bringing the Vince Lombardi Trophy to Philadelphia. This is a ceremonial resolution with no funding, implementation timeline, or direct impact on policy—it serves simply to honor the team's accomplishment and the fans who celebrated the victory.

Stop ActThis bill prohibits federal officeholders from directly soliciting contributions for certain federal election purposes. Specifically, the bill prohibits a federal officeholder from soliciting funds directly from any person (1) for or on behalf of any political committee, or (2) for or on the behalf of any person for use for federal election activity. However, a federal officeholder may participate in a fundraising event (e.g., planning, attending, or speaking at an event), as long as the federal officeholder does not engage in any written or verbal solicitation of funds in connection with the event.
