Amendment sought to preempt state and local laws that impose requirements different from federal standards on certain defense-related recycling, disposal, and materials recovery activities.

Chief Chris Eddy's Law requires the Secretary of Transportation to establish new regulations mandating that all refrigerated shipping containers display warning placards, regardless of what cargo they carry. The placards must alert emergency responders to the potential danger of pressurization that can occur in these containers. The bill applies to refrigerated containers used in intrastate, interstate, and international commerce. Additionally, the Secretary of Transportation must conduct a study examining whether refrigerants should be officially classified as a distinct hazard category under federal regulations and assess how such a classification would affect other hazardous material rules. The legislation does not specify funding amounts or completion timelines for the study.

This bill establishes mandatory minimum sentences for people who attempt to assassinate senior U.S. government officials. Specifically, it requires a minimum 25-year prison sentence, with the possibility of life imprisonment, for anyone convicted of attempting to kill a member of Congress, a Cabinet member, a Supreme Court justice, the President, Vice President, or certain presidential staff members. The legislation amends existing federal law by removing language that previously distinguished between attempts and other crimes against these officials, treating assassination attempts as a distinct and more serious offense. The bill applies to federal courts nationwide and affects anyone prosecuted under these sections of federal law. No specific funding is authorized in the bill, as it primarily creates criminal penalties within the existing federal justice system.

The Save America's Family Forests Act of 2026 provides tax incentives for forest owners to replant trees. The bill increases the annual deduction limits for reforestation costs from $10,000 to $30,000 for individuals and from $5,000 to $15,000 for married couples filing separately, with these amounts adjusted annually for inflation starting in 2027. Additionally, the legislation creates a new tax deduction specifically for reforestation efforts following federally-declared natural disasters, allowing forest owners to deduct up to $500,000 per property or $1,000,000 total across all properties for disaster-related reforestation costs, again with inflation adjustments after 2026. These tax benefits apply to reforestation expenditures paid or incurred after December 31, 2026, and are designed to help family forest owners and timber landowners recover and rebuild following hurricanes, wildfires, and other presidential-declared disasters. The deductions include recapture rules requiring beneficiaries to pay back the tax benefits as ordinary income if they sell the reforested property within ten years, except in cases of death, casualty, condemnation, or governmental taking.

This resolution expresses House support for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and its work in immigration enforcement and removing criminal aliens from the country. The resolution recognizes that ICE agents have faced increased death threats and harassment, and it calls on state and local law enforcement to cooperate with federal partners in investigating threats against federal officers. The resolution also condemns political violence against law enforcement and thanks ICE agents for assisting with airport security during a government shutdown. This is a symbolic measure that does not allocate funding or create new programs, but rather takes a position on immigration enforcement and the safety of federal officers. The resolution was referred to the House Judiciary, Homeland Security, and Ways and Means committees in April 2026.

The Rural and Underserved Health Care Staffing Act establishes federal recognition that temporary contract physicians and advanced care practitioners (such as nurse practitioners and physician assistants) working as locum tenens are independent contractors rather than employees. This classification applies to qualified workers providing temporary medical services at a single location for up to one continuous year, and exempts them from federal employment laws including the Fair Labor Standards Act, National Labor Relations Act, and various anti-discrimination and family leave requirements. The bill affects rural and underserved healthcare facilities seeking to fill temporary staffing gaps with contract clinicians, as well as the temporary healthcare workers themselves, though it does not change tax obligations, Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rules, unemployment compensation eligibility, or state-level licensing requirements. The legislation takes effect upon enactment and applies only to services performed after the bill's adoption, with no explicit funding allocation specified.

The Growing America's Pharmaceutical Supply Act modifies federal rules to help address drug shortages by giving pharmaceutical outsourcing facilities a grace period to continue producing and distributing medications after a shortage is declared. Specifically, the bill extends a "tail period" of up to 180 calendar days that allows these facilities to keep supplying drugs to the market, rather than having to stop immediately once a shortage ends. This change affects outsourcing facilities—specialized compounding operations that produce medications when commercial supplies run short—by giving them more flexibility to help mitigate supply disruptions without immediately halting production. The bill contains no new funding requirements, as it simply adjusts existing regulations under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The legislation was introduced in February 2026 and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

The Farmers' AID Relief Act modifies how the federal government determines which counties qualify for crop insurance payments after hurricanes under an existing program called the Hurricane Insurance Protection-Wind Index endorsement. Starting with the 2027 crop year, the Department of Agriculture will primarily use official hurricane tracking data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (called IBTrACS) to determine eligibility, but can use alternative data from university weather stations if the main data is incomplete or if weather monitoring equipment in the affected county was damaged. The bill requires the Agriculture Department to publish any alternative data sets used on its website and to issue implementing regulations within 180 days of the law's enactment. This legislation primarily affects farmers in hurricane-prone regions who rely on crop insurance and the insurance companies that administer these programs. No specific funding amounts are mentioned in the bill.

This bill strengthens federal law requiring state and local governments to share immigration-related information with federal authorities. It prohibits state and local jurisdictions from enacting policies that delay, restrict, or penalize the sharing of immigration status information with the Department of Homeland Security and prevents them from requiring approval procedures that slow down such information exchanges. The bill specifically requires states and localities to notify federal immigration authorities at least 48 hours before releasing individuals from custody and, in some cases, to hold individuals for up to 48 hours to allow federal authorities to assume custody. It also grants law enforcement officers immunity from personal lawsuits when they comply with these information-sharing requirements. The bill empowers the Attorney General to enforce compliance through federal court actions and allows the government to revoke federal law enforcement grants from jurisdictions found to knowingly violate these information-sharing requirements.

The PASTEUR Act of 2026 addresses the growing threat of drug-resistant bacteria by creating a federal contract program offering pharmaceutical companies annual payments of $75–300 million (adjusted for inflation) to develop new antibiotics targeting dangerous resistant pathogens. Participating drug manufacturers must maintain U.S. supply, track resistance data, promote antibiotic stewardship, and meet environmental standards, with contracts lasting up to 10 years or until generic competitors enter the market. The bill also establishes a 15-member advisory group of infectious disease experts and patient advocates to guide policy, launches grant programs for hospitals and clinics to improve antibiotic stewardship practices, and requires enhanced tracking and public reporting of antibiotic use and resistance patterns. Congress appropriates $6 billion for fiscal year 2026 to fund these initiatives, with up to 6.5% dedicated to stewardship grant programs. Together, these provisions aim to incentivize innovation in antibiotic development while improving how existing antibiotics are used to slow the spread of drug-resistant infections.

H.Res. 1026 is a resolution condemning a January 18, 2026 disruption of a worship service at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, where protesters allegedly entered the sanctuary, shouted over clergy, physically obstructed the service, and intimidated worshipers. The resolution reaffirms the constitutional right to religious freedom under the First Amendment and asserts that such disruptions may violate the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, a federal law that prohibits using force or intimidation to interfere with religious worship. The resolution specifically condemns media figure Don Lemon for participating in the disruption and praises the Department of Justice for investigating the incident. No funding or implementation timeline is involved, as this is a symbolic resolution expressing congressional sentiment rather than creating new law or appropriating funds.

The Fraud Accountability Act makes fraud a deportable offense for non-citizens and allows courts to revoke citizenship for naturalized U.S. citizens convicted of fraud. Specifically, the bill amends immigration law to make any non-citizen convicted of fraud against an individual, business, fund, or government entity subject to deportation, regardless of the amount of money involved, and requires such individuals to be held in custody pending removal proceedings. The legislation also grants all U.S. courts the power to automatically revoke citizenship and cancel naturalization certificates for naturalized citizens convicted of fraud or other specified crimes. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment and applies retroactively to fraud cases committed since September 30, 1996, as long as the person was not previously arrested, charged, or indicted for that conduct. No specific funding is allocated in the bill.

This bill authorizes Congress to award a Congressional Gold Medal to the 30 workers who died in two tragic explosions at the Thiokol Chemical Plant in Woodbine, Georgia—a catastrophic blast on February 3, 1971, that killed 29 people (mostly African American women), plus one additional worker who died in a separate accident in 1973. These civilian contractors were manufacturing essential military munitions and rocket components during the Vietnam War and their deaths remain among the deadliest industrial accidents in U.S. history. The bill recognizes their sacrifice and contribution to the nation, noting that the disaster prompted major reforms in workplace safety, emergency medical services, and industrial regulations, including the creation of OSHA. The Treasury Department will design and strike a single gold medal to be displayed at the Thiokol Memorial Museum, and may also produce and sell duplicate bronze medals to cover production costs. No specific funding appropriation is required beyond what the U.S. Mint Public Enterprise Fund already covers.

H.Res. 937 is a resolution condemning the Ethiopian government for ongoing violence, human rights abuses, and regional instability in the Horn of Africa. The resolution expresses concern about documented atrocities—including alleged war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide—that have killed thousands, displaced masses, and destabilized multiple regions including Amhara, Oromia, and Tigray, while also targeting religious institutions and the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. The resolution calls on the Trump administration to impose Global Magnitsky sanctions on Ethiopian officials implicated in human rights violations, suspend nonhumanitarian aid and security assistance until conditions improve, and submit a formal determination to Congress on whether genocide has occurred. The measure also urges the State Department to use diplomatic and economic pressure to promote accountability, support international investigations, protect religious communities, and coordinate with international partners through the United Nations and African Union. This is a non-binding resolution expressing the House's position rather than legislation that creates new laws or programs.

H.R. 6254 would allow states greater flexibility in managing their Medicaid programs by permitting them to hire outside contractors to handle eligibility determinations, re-eligibility checks, and fair hearing appeals—tasks traditionally performed by state staff. The bill affects state Medicaid agencies and the millions of Americans who rely on Medicaid benefits. To prevent conflicts of interest, the legislation prohibits states from using contractors that have financial ties to Medicaid managed care organizations or their affiliated providers. The bill includes a safeguard requiring that contracts cannot include incentives for contractors to delay determinations or wrongly deny benefits to eligible individuals. No specific funding or implementation timeline is included in the legislation; it would take effect upon passage.

H.R. 5937, introduced in November 2025, would cut off all federal funding to New York City if Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor. The bill would rescind any unused federal money already allocated to the city and prohibit the federal government from spending any new money there for any purpose while he serves as mayor. The legislation affects New York City and its residents, who depend on federal funds for infrastructure, social services, and other programs. No specific funding amounts or timeline are provided in the bill, as it would apply whenever Mamdani holds the mayoral office. The bill was referred to the House Committees on Oversight and Government Reform and Appropriations for consideration.

This bill amends Medicare payment rules for skin substitute products—cellular, tissue, biological, or synthetic materials applied to wounds and intended to remain in the wound bed. Starting January 1, 2026, Medicare will cover these products and establish a standardized payment rate based on a volume-weighted average of 2023 payment allowances, adjusted annually for inflation. The bill also implements program integrity safeguards, including identification of outlier providers (the top 3 percent by payments), prepayment claim reviews for high-volume providers starting in 2026, and prior authorization requirements beginning in 2027 with $5 million annually through 2030 to administer these reviews. Providers with denial rates exceeding 75 percent over six months can face enrollment revocation or exclusion from Medicare. The legislation protects patient access by requiring that all skin substitute products meet the same coverage criteria in 2026 and prohibiting denials based solely on clinical evidence analysis during that year.

H.Res. 805 is a ceremonial resolution designating October 2025 as "American Pharmacists Month" to honor the contributions of pharmacists to patient care and public health. The resolution recognizes that pharmacists, along with over 400,000 pharmacy technicians and 47,000 student pharmacists, are among the most accessible healthcare providers in the country, with pharmacies located within five miles of nearly all Americans. The measure highlights pharmacists' role in ensuring medication safety, helping patients take their medicines correctly, and managing chronic diseases in collaboration with other healthcare providers. This is a symbolic resolution with no funding or regulatory requirements—it simply expresses the House's appreciation for the pharmacy profession and commits to working with pharmacists on healthcare initiatives. The resolution has no direct impact on individuals or budgets, as it is purely a statement of recognition.

This resolution supports the recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

H.Res. 799 is a non-binding resolution that expresses the House of Representatives' recognition of President Donald Trump's diplomatic efforts and urges the Norwegian Nobel Committee to award him the Nobel Peace Prize. The resolution credits Trump with brokering a peace agreement that ended hostilities in the Israel-Hamas war, securing hostage releases, and resolving other international conflicts involving countries such as Azerbaijan-Armenia, Cambodia-Thailand, and Serbia-Kosovo. The resolution includes supportive statements from international leaders like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. This resolution does not allocate any funding or establish a timeline, as it is a symbolic measure expressing congressional sentiment rather than legislation that creates policy or appropriates resources. No individuals are directly affected by this resolution, though it aims to influence a Swedish institution's (the Norwegian Nobel Committee) decision on an international award.

H.Res. 706 is a resolution that would remove Representative Ilhan Omar from two House standing committees: the Committee on the Budget and the Committee on Education and Workforce. The resolution was introduced on September 15, 2025, by Representatives Carter of Georgia, Crenshaw, Bice, McDowell, Moore of Alabama, and Van Orden, and was referred to the House Committee on Ethics for consideration. Committee removals are procedural actions that require a vote by the full House and do not involve any funding or specific timelines for implementation. If passed, the resolution would prevent Omar from serving on these committees during the remainder of her House tenure, though it does not affect her status as a representative or membership in other committees.

This House resolution condemns the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University during an event for his American Comeback Tour. Kirk founded Turning Point USA at age 18, which grew into a major conservative youth organization with a presence on over 3,000 high school and college campuses and 650,000 lifetime members. The resolution honors Kirk's life, extends condolences to his family, and praises first responders who assisted him. The measure affirms Congress's commitment to protecting Americans' rights to peaceful assembly and political expression without violence. This is a commemorative resolution with no funding or programmatic requirements—it expresses the House's formal condemnation of the act and solidarity with Kirk's legacy.

The 340B ACCESS Act comprehensively reforms the 340B drug pricing program, which allows certain healthcare entities to purchase prescription drugs at steep discounts for their patients. The bill tightens eligibility rules by requiring patients to have active provider relationships with documented in-person visits in the past 12-24 months, imposes strict standards on hospital off-campus facilities and contract pharmacies, and mandates that hospitals provide charity care equal to their 340B profits or face penalties. The legislation establishes robust reporting and tracking requirements, including special claim identifiers to prevent duplicate Medicaid discounts, a centralized data clearinghouse, and detailed annual public reporting on patient demographics and how hospitals spend their 340B savings on patient services. For nonprofit hospitals specifically, the bill requires enforceable contracts to serve uninsured and low-income patients (at least 10% of care costs) and mandates that metropolitan hospitals rank in the top 40% statewide for Medicaid and uncompensated care. Violations trigger escalating civil penalties ranging from $2,500 to $5,000 per violation, mandatory audits, repayment requirements with compound interest, and potential program removal, while the bill also prohibits health plans from discriminating against 340B participants.

H.Res. 686 is a symbolic resolution supporting the designation of September 14-20, 2025, as "Telehealth Awareness Week" to highlight the importance of remote healthcare services in the U.S. healthcare system. The resolution emphasizes that telehealth has become essential for millions of Americans, particularly seniors on Medicare, people with disabilities, and those in rural or underserved areas, with about 6.7 million Medicare beneficiaries using telehealth services in 2024—24 percent more than before the pandemic. The resolution urges Congress to preserve telehealth flexibilities beyond September 30, 2025, when certain pandemic-related provisions are set to expire, and calls for continued efforts to expand awareness and access to telehealth services for all communities. The bill has bipartisan support from representatives including Mr. Carter of Georgia, Ms. Matsui, Mr. Schweikert, and Mr. Thompson of California. This resolution does not provide funding or create new law; rather, it expresses the House's support for recognizing telehealth's value and encourages policymakers to take action to permanently expand telehealth access.

This resolution calls for the censure of Representative Rashida Tlaib for her participation in and support of the People's Conference for Palestine. The resolution alleges that speakers at the conference promoted violence against U.S. military infrastructure, called for assassinations of political leaders, praised designated terrorist organizations, and glorified historical terrorist attacks. The resolution further contends that Representative Tlaib herself has promoted antisemitic rhetoric, called for the destruction of Israel using the phrase "from the river to the sea," and urged street mobilization against members of Congress who support Israel. A censure is a formal expression of disapproval by the House and does not remove an elected official from office. The resolution does not involve any funding or specific timeline beyond its introduction in September 2025 and referral to the House Committee on Ethics.
