H. Resolution 1452 is a symbolic resolution that acknowledges the importance of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and recognizes ongoing barriers that people with disabilities continue to face in employment, housing, healthcare, and community participation. The resolution documents persistent problems affecting people with disabilities, including that nearly a quarter live below the poverty line, many face unemployment and workplace discrimination, and numerous public and private facilities remain inaccessible. The resolution directs multiple federal agencies including the Department of Labor, Federal Communications Commission, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Department of Transportation, and Federal Emergency Management Agency to develop policies and provide technical assistance to improve employment opportunities, accessibility, housing options, and emergency preparedness for individuals with disabilities. This resolution does not authorize funding or create new laws; instead, it expresses Congress's intent and calls on federal agencies and the American people to work toward greater inclusion and economic self-sufficiency for people with disabilities.

This bill prohibits the federal government from using taxpayer money to pay claims submitted to the Department of Justice's Anti-Weaponization Fund, which was established on May 18, 2026. The legislation applies specifically to all federal funds, including those designated for settlement and judgment payments under existing law. The bill affects anyone seeking compensation through this DOJ fund, as it prevents the government from disbursing federal dollars to cover those claims. No specific funding amount or implementation timeline is included in the legislation, which was introduced in May 2026 by Representatives Fitzpatrick and Suozzi and referred to the House Judiciary Committee.

This bill corrects what lawmakers describe as unfair treatment of certain U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers who were denied enhanced retirement benefits. Specifically, it applies to officers who received job offers before July 6, 2008, but didn't officially start work until on or after that date. The bill treats these officers as if they were employed on July 6, 2008, making them eligible for minimum annuity protections and exempting them from mandatory retirement age requirements. Within 120 days of the bill becoming law, the Department of Homeland Security must identify all eligible individuals and notify them of the correction, while the Office of Personnel Management must implement the corrected annuities, including retroactive adjustments for those already retired. Additionally, the Government Accountability Office must review CBP's hiring and retirement benefits processes and report its findings within 18 months to relevant congressional committees.

This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' appreciation for public servants at all levels of government and in the uniformed services during Public Service Recognition Week, which falls on May 3-9, 2026. The resolution honors the work of federal, state, and local government employees and military personnel who take an oath to defend the Constitution and deliver essential services that citizens depend on. It recognizes that public servants contribute significantly to the economy by managing infrastructure, financial systems, research institutions, and regulatory frameworks that support private-sector growth and innovation. The resolution calls on Americans to observe Public Service Recognition Week with appropriate programs and ceremonies to acknowledge the dedication and professionalism of those who serve the public good. There is no funding or enforcement mechanism associated with this resolution, as it is a symbolic expression of congressional sentiment rather than legislative action.

This resolution expresses congressional support for designating April as "Sikh History Month" in the United States. The resolution highlights the history and principles of Sikhism, founded in the 15th century, emphasizing its teachings of equality, honest living, and service to others, while noting the contributions of Sikh Americans to military service, business, and civic life. April was chosen because it often coincides with Vaisakhi, an important Sikh festival that commemorates the founding of the Khalsa in 1699. The resolution aims to promote awareness and education about Sikh identity and heritage, combat stereotypes and misunderstandings, and encourage respect for religious diversity in schools, universities, and public institutions. This is a symbolic resolution with no funding or implementation requirements; it represents a statement of support rather than a law that creates obligations or allocates resources.

This bill would undo several energy-related tax incentives that were enacted in Public Law 119-21. Specifically, it would eliminate the energy efficient commercial buildings deduction entirely, extend the deadline for the new energy efficient home credit from June 2026 to December 2032, and push back the facility construction deadline for the clean hydrogen production credit from January 2028 to January 2033. The bill also modifies two clean electricity credits by removing certain provisions and changing their phase-out dates, with one credit potentially extending beyond 2032 if greenhouse gas emissions from electricity production fall below 25 percent of 2022 levels. The bill was introduced in April 2026 and referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means, with no specific funding amounts mentioned in the legislation.

This joint resolution directs the President to comply with the War Powers Resolution by ending military operations in Iran within 60 days of Operation Epic Fury's commencement on February 28, 2026, and withdrawing all armed forces within 30 days thereafter. The operation, conducted jointly with Israel, involved airstrikes on Iranian military and government sites and has resulted in 13 U.S. service member deaths and 381 wounded, along with Iranian retaliatory attacks and closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Congress asserts its constitutional authority to declare war and argues that continued military action requires explicit congressional authorization. The resolution includes an exception allowing troops to remain if engaged in cease-fire negotiations with Iran, and permits limited military presence to defend U.S. allies or prevent Iranian nuclear weapons development, as long as the President complies with War Powers Resolution requirements. Intelligence gathering and sharing with coalition partners would continue unaffected by this resolution.

The Mental Health Access and Provider Support Act of 2026 increases Medicare reimbursement rates for mental health services provided by psychologists, raising the payment from 75 percent to 85 percent of the standard fee schedule amount. This change applies to both outpatient mental health services and related mental health treatments covered under Medicare. The bill is designed to improve access to mental health care by making it more financially viable for psychologists and other mental health providers to treat Medicare patients, particularly seniors and disabled individuals who rely on the program. The increased reimbursement rates take effect on January 1, 2027, and the legislation was referred to the House Committees on Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means for consideration.

H.Res. 1021 designates January 2026 as "National Stalking Awareness Month" to raise public awareness about stalking and encourage prevention efforts. The resolution highlights that approximately one in three women and one in six men experience stalking in their lifetime, with over 13 million Americans reporting stalking victimization annually, and notes that young people ages 18-24 face the highest rates. The resolution has no direct funding requirements, as it is a symbolic measure that calls on government agencies, law enforcement, victim service organizations, colleges, universities, and private sector entities to increase awareness and support for stalking victims during the designated month. The measure emphasizes particular concerns about technology-enabled stalking and the heightened vulnerability of college students, especially those with disabilities, encouraging a coordinated response from multiple sectors to address this crime.

The Peace Through Strength Against Russia Act of 2025 establishes comprehensive economic and diplomatic sanctions against Russia and individuals or entities supporting Russian government operations and military aggression. The bill requires the President to review and impose sanctions every 180 days on Russian officials and their supporters, with penalties including asset freezes, visa revocations, and vessel seizures, while also prohibiting U.S. citizens and financial institutions from purchasing Russian government bonds immediately upon enactment and authorizing tariffs up to 500 percent on Russian imports including energy products within 30 days. The legislation bars certain Russian-connected individuals from entering the United States and subjects them to immediate visa revocation, and it establishes criminal and civil penalties for sanctions violations through enforcement mechanisms under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The bill defines key terms necessary for implementation, such as "military invasion" covering ground, air, naval, cyber, and missile attacks, and identifies 19 critical infrastructure sectors in Ukraine as protected targets. A severability clause ensures the law remains enforceable even if individual provisions are challenged in court.

H.R. 6636 is a comprehensive 11-title bill addressing climate, economic, defense, and governance priorities. The centerpiece is the "Market Choice Act," which establishes a carbon tax on fossil fuels beginning at $35 per metric ton in 2027 with annual increases, along with taxes on industrial emissions and manufactured products; 75% of revenues flow to the RISE Trust Fund for highway infrastructure (70%), low-income household grants (10%), coastal flood mitigation (4%), and clean energy research through 2036. Beyond climate policy, the bill includes cancer research funding increases, restrictions on congressional stock trading, comprehensive new sanctions against Russia including 500% tariffs and financial institution asset freezes, school safety standards with $100 million in annual funding, voting access reforms allowing unaffiliated voters in primary elections, expanded worker assistance for energy sector workers facing displacement, and expanded veterans' benefits. The legislation also establishes a bipartisan National Climate Commission to set emissions reduction goals and creates a 20-member National Bipartisan Fiscal Commission to recommend solutions to federal deficits within 18 months.

H.R. 6637, the "Modernizing America with Rebuilding to Kickstart the Economy of the Twenty-first Century with a Historic Infrastructure-Centered Expansion Act," is a comprehensive omnibus bill that establishes a federal carbon tax beginning in 2027 to fund infrastructure and climate initiatives while also addressing cancer research, election policy, veterans' affairs, and school safety. The centerpiece is a carbon tax starting at $35 per metric ton of CO₂ that applies to fossil fuel combustion, industrial emissions (including steel and cement production), and manufactured goods, with revenues flowing to a new RISE Trust Fund that distributes money from 2027 through 2036 primarily to highway infrastructure (70 percent), airports, coastal flooding mitigation, energy innovation, and weatherization programs. The bill also creates a border tax adjustment on imports of carbon-intensive goods, establishes worker assistance for energy sector employees displaced by the carbon tax, requires prevailing wages on federal projects, creates a bipartisan National Climate Commission to set emissions targets, and includes provisions for flood mitigation grants, cancer drug shortage studies, school safety standards, voting access reforms, and expanded contracting opportunities for veteran-owned businesses. The legislation repeals federal fuel taxes effective 2026 and imposes a regulatory moratorium on EPA greenhouse gas rules through 2039, unless emissions targets are missed.

H.R. 6501 makes health insurance more affordable and prevents fraud in the marketplace through several interconnected changes. The bill extends enhanced premium tax credits through 2027, capping monthly premiums at just $5 for low-income households and expanding eligibility to those earning up to 700% of the poverty line (up from the current 400% threshold). To combat fraud, the bill establishes new penalties for agents and brokers providing false enrollment information, requires verification processes by 2029, and creates accountability measures like checking death records quarterly and distributing lists of suspended agents to insurers. The legislation also overhauls pharmacy benefit manager oversight by requiring transparency in rebate handling, independent audits, and full pass-through of manufacturer rebates to health plans within 90 days, with $134 million appropriated for implementation. Additionally, starting in 2027, exchanges must clearly inform individuals of their premium tax credits before enrollment, and individuals gain new payment options including $5 monthly prepayment plans or directing half their tax credits to Health Savings Accounts.

This bill clarifies how certain 9/11 victims and their families receive compensation from the federal Justice for United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Fund. Specifically, it addresses a group of claimants known as "Havlish Settling Judgment Creditors"—people with eligible claims related to the September 11, 2001 attacks who were part of a 2014 legal settlement. The legislation removes restrictions that prevented these specific claimants from participating in the compensation fund and requires that any funds previously withheld from them in escrow be immediately released and paid out. Additionally, it ensures that Havlish Settling Judgment Creditors can participate equally in all future rounds of fund payments alongside other eligible claimants. The bill is retroactively effective as of December 29, 2022, meaning it addresses compensation decisions that have already been made under the current law.

The Wojnovich Pipeline Safety Act establishes a $100 million annual grant program (2026-2030) to help municipalities and community-owned utilities improve the safety and modernization of hazardous liquid pipelines in their areas. To participate, states must require real estate sellers to disclose nearby pipeline easements within a half-mile and provide buyers with operator information, repair history, and past incidents from the last decade. The bill imposes significant financial penalties on pipeline operators—$2.5 million annually per incident until remediation is complete, and $5 million if they fail to report an incident within 15 days—with collected penalties funding a new Community Trust Fund for safety improvements and emergency response reimbursement. The legislation also requires the Department of Transportation to establish emergency alert systems, implement new testing protocols for older pipelines, update its public website with easy-to-read accident reporting, rename its community liaison office to improve public engagement, and issue quarterly reports to Congress on pipeline safety developments.

This bill directs the Office of Management and Budget to consider creating a separate occupational classification code for direct support professionals—workers who assist people with intellectual and developmental disabilities with daily living activities, community participation, and independence. The legislation responds to a significant workforce crisis in this sector, with national turnover rates around 39 percent, which negatively impacts the stability and quality of care for vulnerable populations. Currently, direct support professionals are classified under broader job categories that don't accurately represent their specialized work, making it difficult for federal agencies to track labor shortages and collect meaningful data on this critical workforce. The bill requires the OMB to review and potentially revise the Standard Occupational Classification system during its next scheduled update and, if rejected, to explain its decision to Congress within 30 days. The measure requires no additional federal funding, making it a procedural change to improve data collection and workforce recognition.

The Fairness to Kids with Cancer Act of 2025 requires the federal government to dedicate a proportional share of cancer research funding to pediatric cancer research based on the percentage of children under 18 in the U.S. population. Starting in fiscal year 2026, the President must ensure that the percentage of total federal cancer research dollars spent on childhood cancer research matches the share of children in the overall U.S. population, as determined by the Census Bureau. The bill affects federal agencies that distribute cancer research funding and aims to increase resources for pediatric cancer research by establishing a formula-based allocation requirement. No specific dollar amounts or sunset dates are mentioned in the legislation; instead, the requirement applies to each fiscal year going forward based on the Census Bureau's population data. The bill essentially seeks to align federal cancer research investment priorities with the proportion of children in America's population.

The SEMI Investment Act expands and extends a federal tax credit for advanced manufacturing facilities by broadening the definition of eligible projects to include manufacturers of semiconductor materials, not just semiconductors and semiconductor equipment themselves. The bill specifies which materials qualify for the credit, including both "direct production materials" (like substrates and bonding materials physically incorporated into semiconductors) and "indirect production materials" (like chemicals, photoresists, and testing equipment used in manufacturing but not in the final product). The Treasury Department must publish a list of qualifying materials within 180 days of the bill's enactment and update it annually, with a process for companies to petition for materials not yet listed. The legislation extends the credit's expiration date from December 31, 2026 to December 31, 2031, with new property construction deadlines aligned to this extended timeline. This change primarily affects domestic semiconductor supply chain companies and materials suppliers seeking federal tax incentives to invest in U.S. manufacturing capacity.

H.Res. 875 is a symbolic resolution that honors The Arc of the United States on its 75th anniversary. The Arc is a national nonprofit organization founded in 1950 by parents and friends of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and it now operates through nearly 600 state and local chapters. The resolution recognizes The Arc's decades of advocacy work, including helping to establish landmark legislation such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and programs providing income support and community-based services for people with disabilities. The bill highlights the organization's role in advancing civil rights protections, exposing institutional abuses, and promoting the inclusion of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in their communities. This resolution does not create new programs, allocate funding, or establish timelines; instead, it formally acknowledges The Arc's historical contributions and ongoing partnership with government and advocacy efforts to support people with disabilities.
