The FORMULA Act of 2026 strengthens federal oversight of infant formula safety by requiring the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish maximum permissible levels for contaminants in infant formula. The law defines contaminants broadly to include heavy metals, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), phthalates, microplastics, pesticides, and biological toxins such as cyanotoxins from harmful algal blooms. Manufacturers must test their products to ensure compliance, maintain testing records for at least two years after the product expires, and make those records available to federal inspectors. The legislation requires the Health and Human Services Secretary to issue implementing regulations within 180 days of enactment, with those regulations taking effect 180 days after issuance, and mandates annual congressional reports listing any manufacturers in violation and detailing specific contaminant levels found in infant formula during routine testing. This bill affects all domestic infant formula manufacturers and ultimately protects infants by establishing science-based safety standards that consider the cumulative health impacts of contaminants on infant brain development.

This bill gives the Secretary of State several new powers and directives regarding foreign affairs operations. First, it prohibits the State Department from creating or displaying maps that inaccurately depict the "Gulf of America" and restricts which flags can be flown at State Department facilities. Second, it authorizes a pilot program through 2031 allowing the State Department to enter into flexible acquisition agreements for advanced technology without following standard competitive bidding procedures, though guidelines must be publicly released first. Third, the bill prevents State Department grants to nongovernmental and international organizations that don't comply with three specific federal rules related to abortion, gender ideology, and equity initiatives. Fourth, it gives the Secretary of State authority to reorganize or abolish the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and transfer its functions to the State Department, with oversight responsibilities shifting to the State Department's Inspector General. Finally, the bill requires all Foreign Service employees assigned to overseas posts to complete and pass a new training course on "America First Principles" starting 30 days after the course is developed. The bill also makes a technical change to drone regulations under existing foreign assistance law.

H.Amdt.216 amendment — An amendment numbered 23 printed in Part B of House Report 119-648 to prohibit funds appropriated to the Department of Veterans Affairs from being used to enforce provisions of VHA Directive 1315 that restrict VA providers from assisting veterans with participation in State-approved marijuana programs.. The text for this legislation has not yet been released. A summary will be generated when there is text available.

This bill authorizes the Secretary of State to provide direct loans and loan guarantees to foreign countries and international organizations to help them purchase U.S. military equipment, defense services, and military construction services. The Secretary would have flexibility to set interest rates and repayment terms for these loans within the framework of existing arms export control laws. The legislation also allows the State Department to use funds from the Foreign Military Sales Administrative Surcharge Fund to support these lending activities. The Secretary must report to Congress within 180 days of the law's enactment and annually thereafter, describing all loans and guarantees provided, their recipients and amounts, how they support U.S. national security interests, and any additional resources needed to implement the program.

This bill requires the Environmental Protection Agency to temporarily waive Reid Vapor Pressure requirements for gasoline during the summer months of 2026, specifically from May 1 through September 15. Reid Vapor Pressure is a measure of gasoline's volatility, and the EPA typically enforces strict limits on this measure to reduce air pollution and smog, particularly during warm weather when gasoline evaporates more readily. By waiving these requirements, the bill would allow gasoline with higher vapor pressure to be sold and distributed during this five-month period. The legislation appears designed to potentially address fuel supply or pricing issues, though the bill text does not specify the rationale. This waiver would affect fuel producers, refiners, and ultimately consumers who purchase gasoline during the specified timeframe.

This bill designates the Palm Beach International Airport in Florida as the Donald J. Trump International Airport.Further, the Federal Aviation Administration must work with the International Air Transport Association, the International Civil Aviation Organization, and the World Meteorological Organization to change the identifying letters of the airport from PBI to DJT.

This resolution authorizes the use of the Capitol's rotunda for a lying-in-state ceremony honoring six U.S. Air Force service members: Major John A. Klinner, Captain Ariana G. Savino, Captain Seth R. Koval, Captain Curtis J. Angst, Technical Sergeant Ashley B. Pruitt, and Technical Sergeant Tyler H. Simmons. All six served with distinction in Operation Epic Fury. The specific date for the ceremony will be determined jointly by the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House, with the Architect of the Capitol responsible for making all necessary arrangements. This is a ceremonial honor typically reserved for military personnel and other distinguished Americans, allowing members of Congress and the public to pay respects to these fallen service members.

H. Con. Res. 77 authorizes the use of the Capitol rotunda for a lying-in-state ceremony honoring seven Army service members: Major Jeffrey R. O'Brien, Captain Cody A. Khork, Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert M. Marzan, and Sergeants First Class Noah L. Tietjens and Nicole M. Amor, along with Sergeants Declan J. Coady and Benjamin N. Pennington. These soldiers served with distinction in Operation Epic Fury and will be honored with this solemn ceremony in one of the nation's most sacred spaces. The specific date for the lying-in-state will be determined jointly by the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House, with the Architect of the Capitol overseeing the logistics and arrangements. This concurrent resolution requires approval from both chambers of Congress and directs relevant officials to take all necessary steps to carry out the ceremony. No specific funding or timeline is designated in the resolution itself.

This resolution states that the House of Representatives declares it is the policy of the United States that Iran continues to be the largest state sponsor of terrorism.

This resolution schedules a joint session of Congress for the House and Senate to meet together and formally receive an address from the President. Under the measure, both chambers will convene in the House chamber on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, at 9 p.m. This type of joint session is the traditional venue for major presidential addresses, such as the State of the Union. The resolution itself does not involve any spending, new policy, or long-term commitments; it simply sets the date, time, and location for this single ceremonial gathering. It affects all members of Congress, who are expected to attend, as well as other officials and guests typically invited to such addresses.

The PETSAFE Act modifies federal disaster relief laws to help states, local governments, and tribal nations better prepare for and respond to emergencies involving companion animals. The bill expands what these jurisdictions can purchase with federal emergency preparedness grants to include items like pet crates, mobile sheltering trailers, veterinary supplies, emergency generators, and training for animal response teams. A key change increases the federal funding match for pet-related preparedness activities from 50 percent to 90 percent of project costs, making it significantly easier for communities to afford these programs. The bill applies to existing grant programs under the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act and the Stafford Disaster Relief Act, so no new funding amounts are specified—rather, it redirects how existing disaster preparedness money can be used. This legislation addresses a gap in emergency planning that became apparent after Hurricane Katrina, when many pet owners faced impossible choices about evacuation because shelters and emergency systems did not accommodate animals.

H.R. 6875, the "AI OVERWATCH Act," requires the Commerce Department to obtain licenses before exporting advanced computer chips designed for data centers to six countries identified as national security concerns: China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and Venezuela. The law targets high-performance integrated circuits used in artificial intelligence and prohibits general licenses for these exports, meaning each shipment requires individual government approval. Before approving any license, Commerce must notify Congress with detailed information about the export and provide certifications that the chips won't support military or intelligence operations in those countries and won't harm U.S. chip availability or competitive advantage. Congress then has 30 days to block the export through a joint resolution. The bill also creates a "trusted U.S. person" exemption for American companies that meet strict security and ownership standards, allowing them to export chips to non-adversary countries without a license. Finally, the law mandates a comprehensive national security strategy from multiple federal agencies within 18 months and temporarily bans all such exports to the six countries until that strategy is submitted to Congress.

This concurrent resolution authorizes the use of the Capitol rotunda for a lying-in-state ceremony honoring two Iowa National Guard sergeants: Edgar Brian Torres-Tovar and William Nathaniel Howard, both from the 1st Squadron of the 113th Cavalry Regiment. A lying-in-state ceremony is a formal honor typically reserved for distinguished military members and government officials, allowing the public and Congress to pay respects to the deceased. The specific date for the ceremony will be determined jointly by the Senate President pro tempore, the House Speaker, and the Architect of the Capitol, who will handle all necessary arrangements. The resolution was introduced in December 2025 and referred to the House Administration Committee. No special funding is required, as this resolution simply permits the use of an existing Capitol facility for this ceremonial purpose.

This bill would change federal trucking regulations to exempt certain port-related transportation from interstate commerce rules. Specifically, it would allow the transportation of goods from a port of entry to another location within the same state to be classified as intrastate (within-state) rather than interstate transportation, even if those goods originated from outside the state or country. This reclassification would exempt drivers of these port trucks from federal interstate commercial driver's license requirements that currently apply to this work. The bill primarily affects truck drivers, shipping companies, and ports that handle imported goods, potentially allowing younger or less-licensed drivers to operate these vehicles. No specific funding or implementation timeline is included in the legislation.

The Pay Our Patriots Act ensures that military personnel and essential Federal Aviation Administration employees continue to receive their full pay and benefits during government funding lapses. The bill automatically appropriates whatever funds are necessary to cover the salaries, allowances, and benefits of active-duty service members across all military branches, reserve components, and FAA employees deemed essential to safe air traffic operations, such as air traffic controllers and safety inspectors. These payments would continue at the same rate in effect before the funding lapse and remain available without any cuts or reductions, regardless of other budget constraints. The funding would last until either a regular appropriations bill or continuing resolution is enacted or until the end of the fiscal year in which the lapse began. The legislation is designed to prevent the disruption of military operations and aviation safety by guaranteeing uninterrupted pay to these critical federal employees during budget disputes.

This resolution expresses support for the designation of National Estuaries Week.

Department of State Policy Provisions ActThis bill sets policy for the Department of State in the areas of departmental management, political affairs, international security affairs, economic affairs, foreign assistance, and public diplomacy.Among other elements, the bill requires the State Department or organizations within the State Department toavoid or minimize use of certain buildings constructed, altered, maintained, repaired, owned, or controlled by an entity owned or controlled by China or its instrumentalities or agents;establish an initiative to increase two-way trade and investment between the United States and Africa;develop a strategy and implementation plan to enhance security in 13 specified Caribbean countries, including by promoting citizen safety and the rule of law;establish an initiative to assist foreign countries in screening foreign investments for national security risks to such countries, including by providing technical assistance, training, and advisory services regarding best practices;establish and maintain a program to recruit, train, and retain specialized disaster assistance professionals within the State Department; andprovide Congress with a five-year strategy on leveraging major sporting events hosted in the United States to enhance U.S. soft power, diplomatic relationships, and global leadership. Additionally, the billauthorizes the President to provide certain types of assistance to foreign countries to enhance the ability of their intelligence and military personnel to deter international terrorism; andauthorizes the extension of certain diplomatic immunities to the Pacific Islands Forum (a regional political and economic policy organization with 18 member nations).

The DFC Modernization Act of 2025 updates and expands the authorities of the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), a government agency that provides loans, investments, and insurance to support development and advance U.S. foreign policy interests abroad. The bill directs the DFC to take on greater financial risks and tolerate losses when necessary to unlock private sector investment, particularly in strategic areas like infrastructure, critical minerals, and energy security. It also expands the DFC's ability to invest in high-income countries (with presidential approval) and explicitly prohibits the agency from supporting projects involving state-owned enterprises or governments from countries designated as strategic competitors, including China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, and Belarus. Key structural changes include increasing the DFC's maximum contingent liability from $60 billion to $250 billion, raising the equity investment limit from 30 to 49 percent, establishing a revolving equity investment account, expanding the Board of Directors, and removing the Chief Development Officer position. The bill extends the DFC's authorization through December 31, 2031, and is intended to position the DFC as an alternative to financing from strategic competitors while advancing U.S. economic and national security interests.

H.Res. 612 is a ceremonial resolution celebrating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army Medical Department, which was officially established on July 27, 1775, when the Continental Congress created a formal medical service for the Revolutionary War. The resolution honors Army medical professionals throughout American history—from battlefield surgeons in the Revolutionary War and Civil War to modern medical personnel serving in recent conflicts—and recognizes their contributions to both military medicine and broader medical innovations, including advances in trauma care and disease prevention. The resolution specifically pays tribute to the 50 Army Medical Department personnel who have received the Medal of Honor for their extraordinary service and sacrifice. The House simply gathers to commemorate this milestone, express gratitude to current and past Army medical staff for their dedication to soldier health and readiness, and remember the lives they have saved. This resolution has no funding or implementation timeline since it is ceremonial in nature and does not create new programs or allocate resources.

H.R. 4189 directs the Navy Secretary to officially recognize three specific areas within the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum in Fort Pierce, Florida as national memorials honoring Navy SEALs and military working dogs. The bill designates the museum's SEAL Memorial, Memorial Garden and Living Beach, and Naval Special Warfare K9 Memorial as official national memorials. This recognition honors the legacy and service of Navy SEAL teams and the canine units that support their operations. The legislation does not appear to include specific funding or implementation timelines—it simply requires the Navy to grant official national memorial status to these existing museum features.

The Defining Humanitarian Demining Assistance Act of 2025 updates federal law to clarify what counts as "humanitarian demining assistance" and "stockpiled conventional munitions assistance" that the U.S. can provide to other countries. The bill expands the definition of demining assistance to explicitly include training and support for detecting and clearing landmines, unexploded ordnance, and other explosive remnants of war, as well as helping foreign countries develop safety standards and procedures. It similarly broadens the definition of munitions assistance to cover training in safely managing, disposing of, and securing dangerous stockpiles of explosives, small arms, light weapons, and air-defense systems. The legislation affects how the U.S. military and government agencies can structure and deliver assistance programs to foreign partners working on these humanitarian and security challenges. The bill contains no specific funding amounts or implementation timelines, focusing instead on clarifying the legal definitions that govern these types of assistance programs.

The Toxic Health Threat Warning Act of 2025 requires the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to test water before releasing it from flood control structures and to notify nearby communities if that water contains dangerous cyanotoxins (toxic substances produced by algae) above safe levels. Specifically, if testing shows cyanotoxin contamination exceeding 8 parts-per-billion, the Corps must alert the public, local governments, and Tribal nations about the planned release and its potential health effects before the water is discharged. This bill affects communities living near Corps-managed dams and flood management facilities, as well as state and local water authorities downstream from these structures. The legislation does not specify additional funding or implementation timelines, focusing instead on establishing a notification requirement to protect public health when contaminated water may be released.

H.R. 3818 directs the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to block water discharges from Lake Okeechobee through two specific lock and dam structures (S-308 and S-80) whenever tests show the water contains dangerous levels of microcystins, a toxin produced by harmful algal blooms. The bill aims to protect Florida residents and visitors from exposure to this toxic substance, which can cause serious health problems when found in water used for swimming and recreation. The restrictions would be based on EPA-recommended safety standards for microcystins in recreational waters, with testing conducted by the Corps of Engineers, other federal agencies, or the State of Florida. This legislation affects water management operations in Florida and applies whenever microcystin levels exceed safe limits, with no specific funding or implementation timeline specified in the bill text.

The PROTECT Florida Act directs the Army Corps of Engineers to revise how it manages Florida's Central and Southern Florida water system to prioritize public health, particularly preventing toxic cyanobacteria and harmful algal blooms from contaminating drinking water and recreation areas. Currently, the system operates to serve multiple purposes including flood control, navigation, water supply, and wildlife habitat, but the bill makes public health an overlay requirement that guides all these existing functions. The legislation requires the Secretary of the Army to update a Master Operational Manual in coordination with Florida state officials and mandates a study with the National Academies of Sciences examining pollution and nutrient loading impacts on the Everglades. The bill does not alter agreements with Native American tribes, existing water quality standards, or timelines for other authorized restoration projects, and it explicitly prohibits using restoration funds for deep well injection of excess water. The legislation authorizes whatever funding is necessary to implement these changes, though no specific dollar amount is specified.
