This bill, known as the Right to Learn Act of 2026, establishes a federal grant program through the Department of Education to help schools support students, families, and staff affected by immigration enforcement actions. Eligible recipients include schools, school districts, early childhood programs, colleges, and nonprofit organizations that can use grant funds to hire counselors and mental health professionals, provide emergency assistance like food and shelter, offer legal services and "Know Your Rights" training, and develop trauma-informed staff training programs. The legislation aims to ensure schools remain safe learning environments for all children regardless of immigration status, reduce absenteeism caused by immigration-related trauma, and affirm the constitutional right to free public education established by the Supreme Court. The bill prioritizes grants to communities with high populations of immigrants and those that partner with legal service organizations, while strictly prohibiting schools from collecting or sharing immigration status information and from denying services based on immigration status. The legislation authorizes $250 million in funding annually from 2027 through 2031, with grants awarded for initial periods of up to three years and renewable thereafter based on performance.

The Good Jobs for Good Airports Act requires employers at small, medium, and large hub airports to pay covered service workers—including baggage handlers, ticketing agents, security personnel, food service workers, and cleaners—a minimum wage and fringe benefits based on standards set under the federal Service Contract Act. Covered employers must certify monthly that they comply with these wage and benefits requirements and must pay whichever is higher: the federal prevailing wage determination issued by the Department of Labor or applicable state and local minimum wage laws. The bill gives the Department of Labor 120 days to issue wage determinations for different classes of airport service workers and authority to enforce wage and benefits compliance, while the Department of Transportation enforces certification requirements and can impose civil penalties up to three times the standard amount for violations. The legislation also allows workers and interested parties to sue employers in federal court to enforce these standards and does not prevent states or localities from requiring even higher wages or better benefits for these workers.

The Community Schools and Health Equity Act directs the Secretary of Education to establish a competitive grant program that provides funding to schools and school districts to integrate health services into community schools. Eligible recipients include local school districts, groups of districts, and partnerships involving schools, health centers, and community organizations. The grants can be used to hire health professionals like nurses and mental health counselors, establish or expand school-based health clinics, provide wraparound services such as nutrition and housing assistance, and create partnerships with health institutions to develop career pathways for students. The legislation prioritizes funding for schools serving low-income students, English learners, immigrant families, and areas with health professional shortages. Grantees must submit annual reports on the number of students served and outcomes related to health, attendance, and academic performance, while the Department of Education must report to Congress at least every three years on the program's effectiveness and recommendations for improving coordination between education and health systems.

The Reward Work Act would prohibit publicly traded companies from buying back their own shares on the stock market, a common practice where companies use cash to repurchase their stock to boost share prices and executive compensation. The bill also requires that at least one-third of the board of directors at any publicly traded company be elected directly by employees through a one-person-one-vote election process, giving workers a formal voice in corporate governance decisions. These requirements would apply to all companies registered on national securities exchanges, affecting thousands of large public corporations across the United States. The Securities and Exchange Commission, working with the National Labor Relations Board, would have two years from the bill's enactment to write the rules implementing these changes. The legislation targets what supporters view as corporate practices that prioritize shareholder returns over worker compensation and interests.

This concurrent resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran or any part of its government or military unless a declaration of war or authorization to use military force for such purpose has been enacted.The resolution specifies that it shall not be construed to prevent the United States from defending itself, its Armed Forces, its diplomatic facilities, or allied states from imminent attack.

This bill increases the minimum insurance requirements that trucking companies must carry from $750,000 to $5,000,000 per accident when transporting property. The change is designed to ensure truck crash victims receive adequate compensation for injuries and damages, as the current requirement has not been updated since 1980 despite significant increases in medical costs. The bill also requires the Secretary of Transportation to automatically adjust the minimum insurance amount every five years based on medical care inflation, ensuring the coverage keeps pace with rising healthcare costs in the future. The new requirement takes effect one year after the bill becomes law. The legislation affects all trucking companies that transport property on highways and aims to protect the public by encouraging safer practices and guaranteeing that victims of serious truck accidents can recover full damages.

This bill establishes federal funding to ensure school paraprofessionals and support staff earn a living wage. Starting in fiscal year 2026, it sets a minimum annual salary of $45,000 for full-time school staff and a minimum wage of $30 per hour for part-time staff, with both amounts automatically adjusting annually for inflation or 2 percent, whichever is greater. The legislation appropriates $25 billion in fiscal year 2026 and subsequent years to help states and school districts meet these wage requirements, with funds distributed to states based on their share of federal Title I education funding and then allocated to individual school districts through a formula that prioritizes districts serving low-income students. States must submit applications showing how they will meet the salary and wage standards within four years, and the law permits states and districts to use funds for additional professional development, certifications, and bonuses beyond the minimum requirements, while protecting existing collective bargaining agreements.

H.Res. 838 is a commemorative resolution recognizing Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), the annual November 1-2 celebration honoring deceased loved ones that blends Indigenous Mesoamerican traditions with Catholic observances. The resolution celebrates the cultural significance of this holiday to Mexican-American, Latino, and Indigenous communities in the United States and acknowledges its role in strengthening family bonds and cultural pride. Beyond ceremonial recognition, the resolution calls on the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to ensure humane treatment and protect the dignity of people in immigration custody, with specific references to recent deaths in ICE detention. The resolution also encourages schools, community organizations, and government agencies at all levels to collaborate on raising awareness about Día de los Muertos and fostering intercultural understanding. This resolution contains no funding allocations or implementation timelines, as it is a symbolic measure expressing the House's values rather than authorizing specific programs or appropriations.
