This bill designates Courtroom 201 at the Howard T. Markey National Courts Building in Washington, DC, as the Pauline Newman Courtroom in honor of Circuit Judge Pauline Newman. Judge Newman, born in 1927, has had a remarkable career spanning over seven decades, including pioneering work as a research scientist in the chemical industry before becoming the first woman chief patent counsel at a major U.S. corporation and later the first judge appointed directly to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in 1984. During her tenure on the Federal Circuit since 1984, she has authored over 1,000 opinions and more than 300 dissents, making her the most prolific dissenter in the court's history and earning widespread recognition for her influence on patent law. The bill contains no funding requirements or implementation timelines, as it is a symbolic designation honoring her lifetime of service to law and science. The designation will apply to all federal references to that courtroom.

Amendment sought to authorize the Secretary to approve any eligible investor and cleared investment professional who meets the program's statutory and regulatory requirements to assess potential investment opportunities that match with the Department of War's requirements or potential requirements. It also makes clear that the program is not capped, allowing an unlimited number of qualified investors, cleared personnel, and covered companies to participate at the discretion of the Secretary of War.

This joint resolution would establish an official residence for the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The Department of War would be required to designate an appropriate facility within 180 days of the bill's passage to serve as the Speaker's official home. The Department of War, working with the Architect of the Capitol, would be responsible for furnishing, maintaining, repairing, and securing the residence, with costs covered by existing Department of War operation and maintenance budgets. These costs would include furnishings, utilities, communications, security, and staffing for the residence. The bill clarifies that the Speaker would not own the residence or have any personal property interest in it, as it would remain government property for official use only.

This bill authorizes the President to award the Medal of Honor to Sergeant Rafael Peralta of the Marine Corps for his actions during combat in Fallujah, Iraq on November 15, 2004. According to the legislation, Sergeant Peralta was mortally wounded during a house-clearing operation and, after being shot, pulled an enemy grenade beneath his body to shield fellow Marines from the blast. The bill waives the standard time limitations that normally apply to Medal of Honor nominations, which would have otherwise barred this award due to administrative delays since the incident occurred over 20 years ago. Congress determined that Sergeant Peralta's actions exemplified extraordinary heroism and sacrifice consistent with the highest traditions of the Marine Corps. The legislation was introduced in May 2026 and referred to the House Committee on Armed Services.

This bill would authorize the U.S. Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to invest in Venezuela by removing Venezuela from a list of countries designated as "countries of concern" under the BUILD Act of 2018. Currently, the DFC is prohibited from making investments in countries on this list, which has included Venezuela due to concerns about governance and political conditions. By passing this legislation, Congress would give the DFC the authority to provide financing and investment support for projects and businesses in Venezuela. The bill does not specify funding amounts or timelines for investments. This measure would significantly shift U.S. policy by enabling official American development finance to flow into Venezuela for the first time in recent years.

This joint resolution establishes a December 31, 2026 deadline for states to ratify the Congressional Apportionment Amendment, a proposed constitutional amendment that has been pending for over two centuries without a ratification deadline. The amendment would increase the size of the House of Representatives to ensure that representation is apportioned more fairly among states as the population grows. Under this legislation, if three-fourths of the states do not ratify the amendment by the end of 2026, it would become invalid, and any ratifications after that date would no longer count toward adoption. Congress asserts its constitutional authority under Article V to impose this ratification deadline as a reasonable condition for considering the amendment. The bill would affect all states and potentially reshape congressional representation, though its practical impact depends on whether enough states choose to ratify the amendment within the tight timeframe.

This bill makes technical corrections to an earlier water rights settlement with the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Mission Indians, a California Native American tribe. The amendments clarify the definition of the tribe's reservation to include all lands set aside through various executive orders and dates between 1882 and 2008, as well as any contiguous trust lands within the Santa Margarita River Watershed added after the settlement became enforceable. The bill also expands the allowable uses of the Pechanga Water Quality Account to cover broader water quality activities in the Wolf Valley Basin, rather than limiting it specifically to groundwater desalination. The Secretary of the Interior is directed to execute any necessary amendments to the underlying settlement agreement to reflect these changes. The legislation does not affect existing water rights or alter the settlement's enforceability date, which was established in 2020.

This resolution seeks to erase from the congressional record the two impeachments of President Donald Trump that occurred in December 2019 and January 2021. The measure proposes to expunge, or officially remove, these impeachments as though they never happened, essentially erasing them from House history. The resolution is supported by Republican lawmakers who argue that both impeachments were politically motivated and fundamentally flawed, citing issues such as the credibility of the whistleblower in the first impeachment and the expedited process used for the second. The measure contains no funding requirements or implementation timelines since expungement is a procedural matter handled within the House. If passed, this resolution would be primarily symbolic, as it would not change the fact that impeachments occurred or affect any legal consequences, but would reflect the current Republican majority's view of those historical events.

This bill transfers approximately 836 acres of land in California into federal trust for the Barona Group of Capitan Grande Band of Mission Indians. The legislation takes administrative control of three specific parcels—totaling around 160, 160, and 516 acres respectively—and makes them part of the tribe's reservation to be managed under standard federal trust regulations. The transferred land will remain subject to existing public access rights for recreation, trails, and motorized roads, as well as emergency access for government agencies conducting search and rescue or wildfire suppression operations. The bill explicitly prohibits the tribe from using the land for any form of gaming activities under federal gaming laws. No new funding is appropriated by this legislation, and it does not alter any existing water rights or service agreements currently in place.

Protecting American Competition Act of 2026This bill establishes additional requirements for the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) to review applications for export licenses and establishes related reporting requirements.Specifically, the bill directs BIS, when reviewing an application for a license or other authorization for the export, reexport, or in-country transfer of controlled items, to consider whether the requested license or other authorization would be the initial license or other authorization for the export, reexport, or in-country transfer of the item to an ultimate consignee or end user.After issuing an initial license or other authorization, BIS must attempt to administer in a timely manner any subsequent license application by a different applicant for the same or a similar item to the same ultimate consignee or end user as the initial license.The bill requires BIS to submit annual reports to specified congressional committees on initial licenses granted by BIS. Additionally, BIS must report to Congress on how it is implementing the bill's provisions.

The Lebanon Election Integrity and Diaspora Voting Protection Act of 2026 authorizes the President to impose sanctions against foreign individuals and entities that interfere with Lebanese parliamentary elections or prevent Lebanese citizens living abroad from voting. The bill targets actions by groups like Hezbollah, corrupt officials, and foreign actors that obstruct elections or diaspora voting rights, which Congress views as important to U.S. national security interests. The President can block assets, revoke visas, and use other economic tools available under international emergency powers to punish violators, with violations subject to criminal penalties. The legislation requires the President to report to Congress within 60 days identifying targeted individuals and assessing foreign interference efforts related to Lebanon's May 2026 parliamentary elections, with updated reports every six months thereafter. The sanctions authority expires after five years.

H.R. 7054 requires the Secretary of State to notify Congress at least 15 days before spending money on any new U.S. embassy or consulate construction project that doesn't use a standardized design. When requesting approval for a nonstandard design, the State Department must provide Congress with detailed comparisons showing how the custom design affects costs, construction timelines, and security compared to using a standard design, along with a justification for why the nonstandard approach is necessary. The bill reflects Congress's preference that the State Department's Bureau of Overseas Building Operations prioritize standardized designs for new diplomatic facilities to minimize customization and associated complications. This requirement applies to construction projects in any phase—whether in the planning stages or already underway—as of the bill's enactment date. No specific funding is allocated in the legislation; rather, it is a procedural requirement that gives Congress advance notice and detailed information before the State Department can proceed with nonstandard construction projects.

This bill requires parties in federal civil lawsuits to disclose the identity of any third parties who have a financial stake in the case's outcome, such as litigation funders who receive a portion of any settlement or judgment. Parties must reveal these agreements to the court and opposing counsel, though the legislation includes exceptions for standard bank loans, attorney fee reimbursements, and grants. The disclosure must occur within 10 days of signing the funding agreement or at the time of standard discovery disclosures, whichever is later. The bill applies to all civil cases filed after its enactment and aims to increase transparency by preventing hidden financial interests from influencing litigation without other parties' knowledge.

The Healthcare Equality and Rights for Our Heroes Act would allow active-duty service members and reserve component members to sue the federal government for injuries or deaths caused by negligent or improper medical care at military hospitals and medical facilities. Currently, military personnel are largely prohibited from suing for medical malpractice under a decades-old legal doctrine, but this bill would change that by creating a new federal claims process specifically for these cases. The legislation applies a 10-year statute of limitations for filing claims and ensures that lawsuits cannot be reduced by veterans' benefits or military life insurance payments the injured service member has already received. The bill requires the Attorney General to report to Congress every two years on the number of claims filed, and it explicitly excludes battlefield medical facilities from coverage.

H.Res. 912 is a congressional resolution recognizing the 75th anniversary of the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir, a major military engagement during the Korean War that took place from November 27 to December 13, 1950. The battle involved over 100,000 United Nations troops, primarily U.S. Marines and Army forces, who became encircled by approximately 150,000 Chinese and North Korean troops in freezing conditions that reached 25 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. The resolution honors the courage and sacrifice of American service members who fought under extreme hardship, including the famous tactical withdrawal led by Major General Oliver P. Smith and the 1st Marine Division, which held strategic positions to allow the evacuation of troops, civilians, and equipment from the port of Hungnam. The resolution encourages Americans to observe December 1, 2025, as "Chosin Few Day" and commemorates the nearly 18,000 American casualties and the 13 Medal of Honor recipients from this battle, which ranks as the second most decorated battle in U.S. history.

H.R. 6036 ensures that female service members who served in female cultural support teams between 2010 and 2021 receive proper recognition and benefits for their military service. The bill requires the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs to officially document this service in military records and include it when calculating retirement pay within one year of enactment. Veterans who served in these roles will be able to file claims for service-connected disabilities related to their service, with the VA treating their service as combat engagement to help them qualify for benefits. The bill also directs the VA to conduct outreach to inform affected service members and survivors about their eligibility to file or supplement claims, and requires the departments to study similar service roles that may lack proper documentation. Additionally, the bill makes a minor technical change to extend the deadline for certain VA housing loan fees by about two weeks.

This bill takes approximately 860 acres of land in Riverside County, California, into trust for the benefit of the Pechanga Band of Indians. The land is currently administered by the Bureau of Land Management.The land taken into trust shall be (1) part of the tribe's reservation; (2) maintained as an open space; and (3) used only for purposes consistent with the maintenance of the land as open space and for the protection, preservation, and maintenance of the archaeological, cultural, and wildlife resources on the land. Further, the bill prohibits gaming on the land.

The Preventing Escalation and Advancing Caucasus Engagement Act (PEACE Act) authorizes the President to impose economic sanctions on Azerbaijan if it commits hostile military actions against Armenia. Once the President certifies such aggression to Congress, sanctions would automatically target Azerbaijani government officials involved in the aggression, their immediate family members, military units, and foreign entities that aid the aggression—including freezing their U.S. assets and banning them from entering the country. The bill also allows sanctions against foreign financial institutions that conduct petroleum-related transactions with designated Azerbaijani banks, though exceptions exist for humanitarian aid, food, medicine, and agricultural sales. The legislation supports Armenia's peace negotiations under a joint declaration signed in August 2025 and allows the President to sanction anyone attempting to obstruct a peace agreement. The bill includes a seven-year sunset provision and requires the President to report to Congress every 90 days on whether Azerbaijan has engaged in hostile actions, with annual assessments of sanction effectiveness.

H.R. 5042 addresses federal regulations governing showerhead water pressure standards. The bill repeals a 2021 Department of Energy rule that tightened the definition of what counts as a "showerhead" for water conservation purposes, and instead reinstates an earlier 2020 version of the same rule. This change would effectively allow showerheads to operate at higher water pressure levels than the more recent regulation permitted. The bill affects manufacturers and consumers of showerheads, as well as overall household water usage patterns. No specific funding or implementation timeline is mentioned in the legislation.

This bill designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 1444 Main Street in Ramona, California, as the "Archie Moore Post Office Building".

The Stop Ineffective Paper Straws Act (H.R. 4887) requires federal agencies to stop using paper straws and instead procure straws with the strength and durability of plastic straws. The bill applies to five federal agencies: the Office of Management and Budget, the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, the Department of Defense, the General Services Administration, and NASA. Any company bidding for contracts with these agencies must certify that they don't have policies favoring paper straws or penalizing plastic straws, and agree to provide only durable straws that meet plastic-straw standards. The legislation doesn't specify funding amounts or implementation timelines, but codifies a proposed rule from the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council to eliminate what supporters view as an ineffective environmental regulation in federal operations.

This bill would prevent states and local governments from requiring handguns to include safety features that are not already mandated by federal law. Specifically, it blocks states from requiring features such as loaded-chamber indicators, magazine-disconnect safeties, ammunition serialization technology, or similar safety mechanisms on handguns sold or transported within their jurisdictions. The legislation is framed by its sponsors as protecting Second Amendment rights and preventing states they view as "hostile to liberty" from imposing what they consider unnecessary design requirements that increase costs and limit firearm availability. The bill amends federal firearms law to preempt any state or local requirements that exceed federal standards, effectively establishing a nationwide floor for firearm regulations that prevents individual states from setting stricter safety standards. The bill contains no funding or implementation timeline specified in the text provided.

H.Res. 604 is a House resolution that condemns violent attacks against federal immigration enforcement agents. The resolution details multiple incidents from May through July 2025 where ICE and Customs and Border Patrol officers allegedly faced assaults, riots, and armed attacks in cities including San Jose, Los Angeles, Portland, and Texas—incidents it characterizes as orchestrated violence by both citizens and undocumented immigrants. The resolution recognizes ICE and CBP agents as "heroic" workers, calls for local, state, and federal officials to support law enforcement in enforcing immigration laws, and criticizes Democratic lawmakers for opposing certain enforcement measures and characterizing immigration agencies negatively. This is a symbolic resolution expressing the House's position rather than legislation that establishes new laws, creates programs, or allocates funding, so it has no direct budgetary impact or implementation timeline.

The SOIL Act of 2025 amends the Defense Production Act to prohibit China, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and entities controlled by these governments from purchasing, leasing, or obtaining concessions on property within 10 miles of sensitive U.S. locations. Sensitive sites include military installations, airports, seaports, other government facilities important to national security, and properties that could enable foreign intelligence collection or surveillance of such facilities. The bill applies to any property transactions completed on or after the law's enactment and requires the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) to notify Congress of any violations or attempted violations. The legislation does not allocate specific funding but uses existing review mechanisms to enforce the restrictions. This measure primarily affects foreign nationals and companies from these four countries seeking to acquire or lease property near strategic U.S. infrastructure.
