This bill, known as the PERFORM Act, restricts bonus and performance-based compensation for the U.S. Postmaster General. Specifically, the Postmaster General cannot receive bonuses, incentive awards, or other performance-based pay if the Postal Service loses money in the preceding year, fails to meet nationwide service targets, receives audit problems, or fails to submit required reports to Congress. The legislation requires the Postmaster General to submit a detailed annual report to Congress within 30 days of each fiscal year's end, documenting all bonuses and performance-based compensation paid to senior executives, the metrics used to justify those payments, the Postal Service's financial performance, and service quality data. The Postal Service's Inspector General must review these reports to ensure compliance with the new requirements. The bill aims to tie executive compensation more directly to the organization's financial health and service performance.

This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to conduct a comprehensive exercise simulating an agroterrorism attack within four years of enactment.

The exercise will involve coordination among federal agencies, state and local governments, tribal nations, private sector food and agricultural companies, and emergency response professionals to identify resource needs, capability gaps, and effective response strategies. Within six months of completing the exercise, the Secretary of Homeland Security must submit a report to Congress detailing findings, lessons learned, and recommendations for improving the nation's ability to counter and deter agroterrorism. The bill contains no specific funding authorization but establishes a clear timeline and detailed requirements for assessing U.S. preparedness against agricultural terrorism threats.

Spending Aviation Fees for Equipment, Guaranteeing Upgraded and Advanced Risk Detection and Safety Act of 2026 or the SAFEGUARDS Act of 2026This bill allocates additional funding for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for aviation security, including checked baggage explosives detection equipment and security checkpoint technology.As background, TSA collects passenger civil aviation security service fees (often referred to as the 9/11 security fee or passenger security fee) on air carrier passengers originating at airports in the United States. In general, these fees are deposited into the Department of the Treasury general fund and applied towards debt reduction. A portion of these fees are allocated to TSA for aviation security.The bill requires that the first $500 million collected in each fiscal year from passenger security fees be deposited into the Aviation Security Capital Fund. This is an increase from the currently required $250 million. This fund provides for the costs associated with acquiring and installing in-line baggage screening systems (i.e., systems that use a conveyor belt infrastructure to automatically screen, sort, and track baggage) to accommodate checked baggage explosives detection equipment and for certain other airport security improvements.The bill also requires that the next $250 million collected in each fiscal year from passenger security fees be deposited into a new Aviation Security Checkpoint Technology Fund for the costs associated with acquiring, installing, and sustaining aviation security checkpoint technology.

The SPACEPORT Act modifies federal grant programs that help states and local agencies modernize spaceport and space launch infrastructure. The bill expands eligible recipients to include airport authorities and tax-supported organizations, and broadens the types of space transportation needs the projects must address to include civil, national security, and commercial purposes—not just government space needs. It increases the federal funding cap from previous levels to $10 million annually and allows the Secretary of Transportation to fund up to 90 percent of a project's costs, with a national interest waiver available for higher federal contributions. The legislation requires the Secretary of Transportation to consult with defense, NASA, and commerce officials when evaluating projects, and mandates a comprehensive report to Congress within two years assessing space transportation demand, funding options, and international competitiveness, with updates every four years thereafter.

The program includes components such as specialized officer training, 24/7 crisis response capabilities, coordination with the Department of Veterans Affairs, and connections to veterans courts and justice resources. The pilot program will operate from fiscal years 2026 through 2030 using existing federal law enforcement grant funding, and the Attorney General must report to Congress on the program's progress, including the number of grants awarded and their average amounts. This legislation aims to improve public safety outcomes and provide better support for veterans who encounter the criminal justice system.
