The Fund Schools, Not ICE Act would redirect unobligated funds from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that were appropriated under the Secure America Act to the Department of Education for elementary and secondary school programs. The bill affects federal funding priorities by taking money that ICE has not yet spent and reallocating it toward education initiatives that support disadvantaged schools under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Additionally, the legislation requires the Department of Homeland Security to sell eleven immigration detention warehouses that were purchased between January and March 2026, with the sale to be completed within 60 days of the bill becoming law. The specific amount of unobligated ICE funds available for transfer is not specified in the bill text, but the legislation aims to move resources away from immigration enforcement operations and toward K-12 education support.

This bill establishes a bipartisan National Advisory Commission on Extreme Heat and Global Security to study and develop strategies for addressing extreme heat as a national and global security threat. The commission will be composed of 22 members appointed by congressional leaders and the President, with expertise in public health, science, disaster management, economics, and international relations. Over a five-year study period, the commission will examine global risks from extreme heat, track health and economic impacts, review existing policies, and conduct regional listening sessions and consultations with federal agencies and international partners. The commission must submit a short-term action plan within one year, a long-term action plan within four years, and a final report with legislative recommendations within ten years, with Congress required to hold a hearing on the recommendations within a year of the final report. The bill does not specify funding amounts but allows the commission to request administrative support services and temporary staff as funds are appropriated.

This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to limit detentions in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement holding facilities to 12 hours or less, except in exceptional circumstances such as medical emergencies, natural disasters, or transportation delays beyond the agency's control. The legislation affects anyone held in ICE custody by establishing minimum humane standards, including safe and clean facilities, meals every 6 hours (with immediate access for minors and pregnant or breastfeeding women), and access to drinking water at all times. The bill requires DHS to document any instances where detainees are held longer than 12 hours, maintain records for five years, and submit annual reports to Congress detailing the number of extended detentions, their duration, and justifications. The DHS Inspector General is tasked with conducting periodic audits to ensure compliance with these standards. The bill does not specify dedicated funding but directs existing agency resources toward documentation, compliance, and oversight activities.

The Semiconductor Controls Effectiveness Act of 2026 requires the State Department's Assistant Secretary for Intelligence and Research to conduct a comprehensive review of how well U.S. export controls on semiconductors and semiconductor manufacturing equipment are working against China. Within 360 days of the bill's enactment, the Assistant Secretary must submit a detailed report to Congress analyzing each export control, including when it was imposed, whether it's working as intended, and how it affects China's military capabilities, artificial intelligence development, and semiconductor industry alongside impacts on U.S. companies and global competitiveness. The report must examine whether foreign competitors are undermining these controls and should include recommendations for improving enforcement, closing loopholes, and enhancing industry cooperation. The assessment involves coordination with the Commerce Department and intelligence agencies, as well as input from private sector companies, academic experts, and think tanks. The final report will be made public in unclassified form on the State Department website, though classified details may be included in a separate annex.

The Tribal Roads Improvement Act removes federal restrictions that prevent tribal governments from using transportation program funding for road grading on tribal lands. Currently, approximately 160,000 miles of roads on or providing access to tribal lands exist, with about 65 percent in poor or failing condition, and federal funding covers less than 35 percent of identified maintenance needs. The bill allows tribes to allocate more of their transportation program funds toward grading work, which the legislation argues will improve access to healthcare, education, employment, and emergency services while supporting tribal economic development and self-determination. The Secretary of the Interior must conduct a study within three years to measure the impact of this change, examining factors like road condition improvements, miles graded, tribal employment generated, and effects on emergency response times and economic development. Within two years of completing the study, the Secretary must report findings and recommendations to Congress regarding ongoing tribal road grading needs.

This bill designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 101 North Colorado Street in Chandler, Arizona, as the "Mayor Coy Payne Memorial Post Office Building".

This bill establishes a new advisory committee within U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to provide guidance on the EB–5 Regional Center Program, which grants immigrant investor visas to foreign nationals who invest in U.S. business projects. The committee will consist of up to 35 members representing regional centers involved in the program, as well as mayors, county economic development officers, state officials, and federal agencies, with balanced representation across different geographic regions and project types. The committee will advise the agency on program improvements, submit annual reports to Congress and the public, and establish subcommittees focused on administration, economic impact, and policy matters. Members will serve two-year terms without compensation and the committee must meet at least quarterly, with at least one public meeting per year. The committee will terminate once all pending EB–5 visa petitions are adjudicated.

The HEAT Act expands federal disaster relief funding to cover damage to transportation infrastructure caused by extreme heat, which is currently not eligible for emergency assistance under existing federal law. The legislation amends the federal emergency relief program to explicitly include extreme heat and heat waves as qualifying disasters, allowing states and communities to access federal funds for repairing or reconstructing roads, bridges, and other transportation infrastructure damaged by thermal stress. The bill particularly addresses concerns about aging bridges—over 85,000 are more than 50 years old—which are vulnerable to heat-related damage like expansion joint failures and structural degradation. Additionally, the legislation requires the Transportation Research Board to conduct a one-year study examining the costs of extreme heat events on transportation systems and recommending better ways to track and measure this damage, while the Secretary of Transportation must issue a best management practices report on heat-related infrastructure safety within the same timeframe. This bill aims to help communities, especially rural areas with limited transportation alternatives, respond to growing heat threats to critical infrastructure.

This bill requires the General Services Administration to annually report to Congress on the state of the Public Building Service's real estate portfolio for the previous calendar year. (The Public Building Service acquires, manages, and disposes of space on behalf of more than 100 federal agencies. Currently, it owns or leases 359 million square feet in more than 8,500 buildings.)The report must include certain information about the portfolio, including the number of buildings owned, completed new construction, top customers, and the total number of leased spaces.

Federal Building Threat Notification ActThis bill requires the General Services Administration (GSA) and the Federal Protective Service (FPS) to develop and disseminate emergency communication guidance for building facility security committees to use in life safety events that threaten federal buildings owned and operated by GSA under the protection of FPS. (Life safety events are events to which first responders deploy.) The guidance must include best practices and protocols relating to (1) procedures to inform building tenants of threats to the building or its occupants, and (2) instructions for safety practices in response to threats or heightened risk to the building or its occupants.

This bill directs the Department of Transportation to establish a five-year pilot program that provides competitive grants of up to $3 million each to states, local governments, tribal organizations, and regional planning agencies to improve on-demand microtransit services for people with disabilities and mobility impairments. Grant recipients can use funds to purchase accessible vehicles, train drivers, develop mobile apps, upgrade technology, and hire workers, with priority given to projects that serve underserved areas, help low-income individuals access transportation without smartphones or credit cards, and deliver economic benefits like job access. As a condition of receiving grants, all vehicles must be equipped with interior camera systems that record video and audio during passenger service for at least 30 days, accessible only to authorized employees and law enforcement. The bill authorizes $20 million in total funding and applies federal labor standards to all funded projects.

The American Cooperation with Our Neighbors Act directs the Secretary of State, working with the U.S. Agency for International Development, to create a strategy for strengthening cooperation between the United States and Mexico at the local and state level, with a primary focus on combating fentanyl and synthetic opioid trafficking. The strategy must be completed within 270 days and should address law enforcement collaboration, professional development exchanges, and support for border communities dealing with drug trafficking issues. The bill also requires the Secretary of State and Treasury Secretary to review financial access in Caribbean Community member countries to determine how to expand banking and capital availability in the region. A progress update on the Mexico strategy's effectiveness must be submitted to Congress within two years, though the bill includes safeguards requiring congressional notification before any sensitive data is shared with foreign countries as part of the implementation.

H.R. 4419 requires states to comply with disability non-discrimination laws when issuing driver licenses for fully autonomous vehicles (those operating at Level 4 or Level 5 automation), ensuring that people with disabilities cannot be denied licenses to operate these vehicles based on their disability status. The bill also directs the Secretary of Transportation to commission a study with the National Academies to identify ways to improve public transportation infrastructure and autonomous ride-hail vehicle design so that people with disabilities can more easily find, access, and use driverless ride-sharing services, including exploring solutions like non-visual access technology, better curb design, and dedicated pickup zones. The legislation authorizes $5 million in funding for the study, with no specified end date. The bill primarily affects state transportation agencies, autonomous vehicle operators offering ride-hail services, and people with disabilities who rely on transportation services. Representatives Greg Stanton and Brian Mast introduced the bill in July 2025 and referred it to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.

H.R. 4308 extends the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program, which provides federal funding to states and communities for energy-saving projects, through 2030. The bill expands the program's focus to include alternative fuels and new energy technologies such as distributed energy resources, district heating and cooling systems, and alternative fuel infrastructure. It authorizes $3.5 billion annually from fiscal year 2026 through 2030—totaling $17.5 billion over five years—with up to 1 percent of those funds available for administrative costs. The legislation affects state and local governments that receive these grants to support energy efficiency upgrades in buildings and communities. The bill was introduced by a bipartisan group of House members and referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce in July 2025.

The Heat Management Assistance Grant Act of 2025 amends federal disaster relief law to allow the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide grants, equipment, supplies, and personnel to states and local governments facing extreme heat events. To qualify for assistance, states and local governments must submit assessments showing the potential loss of life and revenue from the heat event, describe other available funding sources, and detail any long-term infrastructure impacts. Within 90 days of the bill's passage, FEMA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration must jointly develop official criteria defining what qualifies as an "extreme heat event" for eligibility purposes. The legislation directs FEMA to coordinate with NOAA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in implementing the program and establishes an appeals process for communities denied assistance. This bill represents a significant expansion of federal disaster aid, as extreme heat events were previously not eligible for the same level of federal assistance as other natural disasters.

This bill designates the federal building located at 300 West Congress Street in Tucson, Arizona, as the Raúl M. Grijalva Federal Building.

This House resolution expresses congressional concern about Mexico's constitutional reforms enacted under President Claudia Sheinbaum, particularly changes to the judicial system that would replace judicial appointments with direct popular elections and eliminate independent oversight of the courts. The resolution notes that Mexican judges and international observers, including the United Nations and U.S. Chamber of Commerce, have opposed these reforms, and the resolution argues they could undermine Mexico's democratic institutions, judicial independence, and the rule of law. Congress is also worried that the broader reforms—which have eliminated autonomous agencies overseeing energy, telecommunications, and elections—may violate Mexico's obligations under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement and harm bilateral cooperation on critical issues like countering fentanyl trafficking and organized crime. The resolution does not include funding or mandate specific actions; rather, it formally registers House concern about these policy changes ahead of the scheduled 2026 review of the trade agreement. The sponsors emphasize that the U.S. and Mexico remain important trade partners, with nearly 5 million American jobs dependent on Mexico trade, while calling attention to ongoing opportunities to influence implementing legislation.

H.Res. 393 is a procedural resolution that establishes rules for the House to consider and vote on H.J. Res. 73, a separate measure addressing a national emergency declared by the President on February 1, 2025. The resolution streamlines the legislative process by waiving standard procedural obstacles, allowing only one hour of debate (split between the chair and ranking minority member of the Foreign Affairs Committee) and one motion to recommit before a final vote. This resolution itself doesn't create policy or allocate funding—it simply sets the terms for how the House will handle the national emergency resolution. Once passed, the House must send its decision to the Senate within one week. The actual details of what the national emergency resolution does would be contained in H.J. Res. 73, which is the underlying measure being debated under these rules.

The Highway Formula Fairness Act allows the U.S. Department of Transportation to provide additional federal highway funding to states that have experienced population growth since the last decennial census, with the extra funding distributed proportionally based on each state's relative population increase. The bill also requires the Transportation Secretary to conduct a comprehensive study of how federal highway funds are currently distributed to states and submit recommendations to Congress within 90 days on whether the current distribution method is fair and equitable, considering factors like highway user tax contributions and whether funding achieves national transportation goals. These changes would apply starting with the first fiscal year after the bill becomes law. The legislation aims to ensure that rapidly growing states like Arizona and Texas, which introduced the bill, receive highway funding that better reflects their increasing populations and infrastructure needs.

The Save BRIC Act would restore and strengthen the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program, which provides federal grants to help communities prepare for disasters before they happen rather than only responding after. The bill amends federal disaster law to make predisaster mitigation assistance mandatory for the President to provide, instead of optional, affecting all communities vulnerable to weather and climate hazards. According to the legislation, the BRIC program was cancelled in 2025 and approximately $4 billion in mitigation grants were taken back from communities. The bill emphasizes that predisaster mitigation is cost-effective, with research showing that every dollar invested in preparation can save up to $13 in disaster recovery costs, and cites 27 billion-dollar disasters in 2024 alone as evidence of the need for such programs.

The Urban Waters Federal Partnership Act of 2025 requires the Environmental Protection Agency, Department of the Interior, and Department of Agriculture to maintain and expand a federal program that helps reconnect urban communities—particularly low-income and economically distressed areas—with their local waterways. The bill establishes a steering committee led by the EPA Administrator to coordinate efforts among 15 federal agencies (including NOAA, HUD, and the Army Corps of Engineers) to provide technical assistance, funding, and support for water quality improvement projects, community engagement, and infrastructure development in designated partnership locations. The legislation authorizes $10 million annually from fiscal years 2026 through 2030 and requires annual reports to Congress documenting progress on local partnership workplans and the use of federal funds. The bill also allows communities currently receiving federal support but not formally designated as partnership locations to apply for formal designation, which would bring dedicated funding and a local coordinator known as an Urban Waters ambassador.

This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' formal condolences on the death of Representative Raúl M. Grijalva of Arizona. The resolution directs the House Clerk to notify the Senate of Grijalva's passing and send a copy of the resolution to his family. As an additional tribute, the House will adjourn on March 24, 2025, as a mark of respect for the deceased congressman. This type of resolution is a standard congressional procedure to honor deceased members and does not involve any funding or affect the general public beyond the ceremonial recognition of Grijalva's service.

WOlf and Livestock Fairness Act of 2025 or the WOLF Act of 2025This bill directs the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to provide emergency relief to producers of livestock with herds adversely affected by Mexican gray wolves.Specifically, the bill directs the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honey Bees, and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP) to provide emergency relief to producers of livestock with herds adversely affected by Mexican gray wolves. USDA must develop a formula to determine the amount of emergency relief to provide to a producer of livestock. Among other factors, the formula must take into consideration the herd size of the producer and the average annual increase in management costs for producers in the state due to Mexican gray wolves.Additionally, the bill modifies USDA's Livestock Indemnity Program. In the case of attacks on livestock by Mexican gray wolves, the bill increases the payment rate from 75% to 100% of the market value of the affected livestock.

The Standardizing Accreditation Information for Veteran Ease (SAVE) Act requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to improve transparency and accountability in how it oversees agents, attorneys, and other representatives who help veterans file benefits claims. The bill mandates that the VA include detailed annual reports to Congress covering the types of training required, how the department verifies credentials, database accuracy, staffing levels, application processing timelines, and denial or rescission rates. Additionally, the legislation establishes a federally registered certification mark that the VA can use to identify legitimate representatives, with criminal penalties for anyone fraudulently claiming such recognition. The bill also requires the VA to contact all recognized representatives every two years asking them to update their contact information and to maintain an accurate public database. While the bill contains no specific funding allocation, it directs the VA to identify any additional resources needed to ensure the accreditation database stays current and that representatives meet standards of good moral character and competence.

Wildfire Response Improvement ActThis bill expands certain wildfire management assistance to beyond the time when the fire occurs and requires the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to update various programmatic guidance relating to wildfire response and cost-effectiveness criteria for wildfire mitigation projects.Currently, in general, government entities’ costs for fighting wildfires are only eligible for assistance under the Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG) Program if the costs are incurred during the incident period (i.e., time during which the fire occurs). The bill requires FEMA to modify the FMAG Program so that assessments and emergency stabilization to protect public safety are eligible for FMAG assistance regardless of when the incident period begins or ends.The bill also requires FEMA to review and update its evaluation criteria for the cost-effectiveness of wildfire mitigation projects proposed under the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program or Hazard Mitigation Grant Program and prioritize projects accordingly.Additionally, FEMA must update its policy guide for the Public Assistance program to include guidance on challenges with wildfire recovery, including the resulting toxicity of drinking water resources.
