This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' opinion that the United States should ratify the Rome Statute and become a full member of the International Criminal Court, an international tribunal designed to prosecute genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Although the United States signed the Rome Statute in 2000, it has never ratified it and remains outside the Court as a non-member. The resolution argues that joining would allow the United States to shape the Court's activities and priorities while upholding American values of justice and accountability that are reflected in the country's support for other international war crimes tribunals. The resolution also calls for the Senate to lift any existing sanctions on International Criminal Court personnel and for the U.S. to encourage other countries to join the Court. This is a non-binding sense of the House resolution and does not require funding or establish any specific timeline, though ratification would ultimately require Senate approval.

This bill requires the U.S. Department of State to assess Islamophobia in Europe as a foreign policy concern and engage with European governments on addressing it. The Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs must consult with Congress on these matters within 180 days of the bill's enactment and then annually for two years afterward. The legislation reflects Congress's view that rising Islamophobia in Europe could threaten transatlantic stability and the safety of American citizens and institutions abroad. The bill does not authorize any new funding or establish specific enforcement mechanisms, but rather directs the State Department to prioritize this issue in its diplomatic engagements with European allies. The consultations are required to be reported to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.

This bill creates a new federal tax credit to encourage owners of manufactured home communities to sell their properties to resident cooperatives or nonprofit organizations. Sellers who meet the requirements would receive a tax credit equal to 75 percent of their gain from the sale, provided the property is used as a manufactured home community for at least 50 years. The bill targets a significant housing challenge: more than 22 million Americans live in manufactured homes, many in low-income households with median annual incomes around $35,000, and most live in communities where they own their home but not the land underneath it. This arrangement leaves residents vulnerable to rent increases, evictions, and community closures. The legislation aims to increase the currently low rate of resident or nonprofit ownership (only 2.4 percent nationally) by making it financially attractive for current owners to sell to qualified resident cooperatives or nonprofit entities. The tax credit takes effect for sales occurring in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2026.

The Universal School Meals Program Act of 2026 establishes free breakfast and lunch for all students in participating schools, eliminating reduced-price meal options and setting the federal reimbursement rate at $3.28 per breakfast adjusted annually for inflation. The bill extends free meals to child care settings and afterschool programs, prevents schools from collecting meal debt or stigmatizing students unable to pay, and expands eligibility identification through surveys and direct certification rather than income-based thresholds. It also requires free meals for incarcerated juveniles in eligible detention facilities, with the Attorney General and Secretary of Agriculture providing implementation guidance within one year. The legislation makes conforming amendments throughout the National School Lunch Act and Child Nutrition Act to reflect the universal free meals structure, while the Department of Education and Agriculture must develop identification procedures and templates within 180 days of enactment.

Federal Worker Childcare Protection Act of 2025This bill authorizes certain federal employees to be reimbursed for childcare expenses paid during the government shutdown that began on October 1, 2025.Under the bill, any federal employee who was furloughed or worked without receiving a paycheck during the lapse in appropriations (i.e., government shutdown) that began on October 1, 2025, and paid for childcare during the lapse is eligible to be reimbursed for the childcare expenses if (1) appropriations are provided for this purpose, and (2) the employee submits a receipt from a childcare provider to the General Services Administration.

The No Shame at School Act of 2025 amends federal school meal programs to protect students from stigma and debt-related consequences related to unpaid meal fees. The bill requires schools to automatically certify eligible students for free or reduced-price meals and to retroactively reimburse families going back to the start of the school year once they qualify. Schools are prohibited from publicly identifying students with unpaid meal balances through special tokens, announcements, or other visible means, and cannot withhold grades, extracurricular activities, or educational services due to meal debt. Schools are also barred from using debt collectors to pursue unpaid fees or directly communicating with students about debt (except through sealed letters to parents). Additionally, schools cannot dispose of or take away food already served to a student based on unpaid meal status. These protections apply to all students with meal debt and those eligible for free or reduced-price meals, affecting millions of school children across the country who participate in federal lunch and breakfast programs.

H.Con.Res. 51 is a concurrent resolution directing President Trump to immediately withdraw U.S. Armed Forces from military operations against Venezuela and transnational criminal organizations that Congress has not explicitly authorized through a formal declaration of war or statutory authorization. The bill asserts that recent military strikes in the Caribbean and the positioning of U.S. warships violate the War Powers Resolution, which requires congressional approval for armed forces engaged in hostilities abroad. The resolution affects military personnel currently deployed in operations related to Venezuela and drug trafficking organizations in the Caribbean region. The measure does not provide funding and has no timeline beyond directing immediate cessation of hostilities, though it preserves the President's authority to respond to sudden attacks or engage in self-defense. The resolution was introduced in September 2025 and referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

H.Res. 669 is a House resolution honoring the victims and survivors of a mass shooting that occurred on August 27, 2025, at Annunciation Catholic Church and School in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The shooting killed two children and injured 21 others during a back-to-school mass. The resolution condemns the violence, expresses condolences to the families of those killed and injured, and commends the first responders—including Minneapolis police, emergency medical teams, hospital staff, and federal law enforcement—for their swift and compassionate response. The measure declares that communities deserve to feel safe in places of worship and schools, and expresses solidarity with the Annunciation Catholic community, other Minnesota residents, and faith communities nationwide that have been affected by gun violence. This is a symbolic resolution with no funding or policy changes; it serves to formally recognize the tragedy and honor those impacted by it.

The End Polluter Welfare Act of 2025 aims to eliminate roughly $100 billion in federal subsidies, tax breaks, and financial support for fossil fuel companies across the government. The bill eliminates direct fossil fuel subsidies from federal agencies, removes dozens of tax deductions and credits specifically benefiting oil, gas, and coal companies, eliminates U.S. funding for international fossil fuel projects, and restricts federal financing for fossil fuel infrastructure. Key changes include imposing a 13% tax on crude oil and natural gas extracted from federal lands in the Gulf of Mexico, requiring oil and gas companies to amortize drilling costs over 84 months instead of deducting them immediately, phasing out carbon capture tax credits, and increasing coal excise taxes. The legislation also tightens clean hydrogen credits by requiring renewable energy sources and directs the Treasury to identify all remaining federal fossil fuel subsidies within one year, giving it authority to eliminate additional tax benefits deemed improper.

This resolution supports the goals and ideals of World Drowning Prevention Day.

The Syria Sanctions Relief Act would repeal two major federal laws that currently impose economic sanctions on Syria: the Syria Human Rights Accountability Act of 2012 and the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act of 2019. By repealing these laws, the bill would effectively lift all U.S. sanctions against the Syrian government. The legislation was introduced in June 2025 by Representatives Omar and Luna and has been referred to the House Committees on Foreign Affairs, Judiciary, and Financial Services for review. The bill contains no specified funding allocations or implementation timelines, as it is primarily a repeal measure that would remove existing restrictions on trade and financial dealings with Syria.

Protecting Our Protesters Act of 2025This bill modifies the criminal civil rights statute that prohibits deprivation of rights under color of law.Current law prohibits the deprivation of federally protected rights, privileges, or immunities by a government official (including a law enforcement officer).This bill specifies that use of force during a response to a protest constitutes a deprivation of rights, privileges, or immunities.Additionally, the bill removes the death penalty as a penalty option if death results or if certain aggravating factors are present.

H.R. 3652 creates an independent, 8-member National Police Misuse of Force Investigation Board to investigate police brutality incidents including deaths in custody, officer-involved shootings, and uses of force causing severe injury, with investigators stationed in regional offices across all states. The President appoints board members with Senate confirmation, requiring balanced partisan representation and expertise in civil rights law, psychology, and conflict resolution, and the board has authority to inspect evidence, test weapons, and order autopsies. The board must file annual reports to Congress and provide family support services and mental health care to victims and their families, while recipients of the board's recommendations must respond formally within 90 days. The bill establishes federal oversight through the Inspector General and Comptroller General and creates financial incentives for compliance by conditioning federal law enforcement grants on states adopting the board's recommendations and submitting annual compliance reports, with non-compliant jurisdictions facing 1 to 10 percent reductions in federal funding. The legislation also restricts public access to police body camera and dashboard footage in court proceedings while allowing the board to use such recordings in its safety recommendations.

This resolution condemns police brutality around the world.

H.R. 2009 would establish a new Office of Global Criminal Justice within the State Department to address serious crimes including war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. The office would be led by an Ambassador-at-Large appointed by the President with Senate confirmation, and would advise senior officials on prevention and accountability for atrocities while coordinating U.S. policy with international courts and tribunals. The office would work with foreign governments, international organizations, and nonprofits to investigate and prosecute those responsible for atrocities worldwide, and would deploy diplomatic, legal, and economic tools to support victims, collect evidence, and promote the rule of law in conflict zones. The bill does not specify dedicated funding or implementation timelines, leaving those details to be determined by the Secretary of State and the appropriations process.

The Department of Peacebuilding Act of 2025 would create a new federal department dedicated to reducing violence and advancing conflict resolution both within the United States and internationally. Headed by a Secretary appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, the department would develop and implement violence prevention programs addressing issues such as gun violence (which killed over 48,000 Americans in 2022), intimate partner violence, school violence, gang activity, and hate crimes, while also working internationally on conflict prevention, deploying civilian peacekeepers, and promoting nonviolent dispute resolution. The bill cites research showing that peacebuilding programs are cost-effective and produce measurable results, and it frames addressing violence as a national security priority connected to systemic racism, economic inequality, and other underlying causes. The department would coordinate with other federal agencies and partner with nonprofits to expand proven violence prevention efforts, with at least 85 percent of appropriated funding directed toward domestic peacebuilding programs. The Secretary would serve on the National Security Council and have authority to hire and compensate staff according to federal civil service standards, though the bill does not specify the total funding amount.

This bill directs the Department of State to establish a new Office to Monitor and Combat Islamophobia within 120 days of passage, headed by a Special Envoy appointed by the Secretary of State. The office would track anti-Muslim violence, harassment, and propaganda in foreign countries, coordinate with nongovernmental and international organizations, and work to combat Islamophobic incitement abroad. The bill also requires the State Department to include detailed assessments of Islamophobia in its existing annual human rights reports, international religious freedom reports, and foreign assistance reports beginning 180 days after enactment—covering incidents such as violence against Muslims, attacks on mosques and Islamic institutions, hate propaganda in media, and government responses to these issues. The legislation does not specify funding amounts or appropriations, leaving budget details to be determined through the normal appropriations process. This bill affects U.S. foreign policy monitoring and diplomatic efforts related to religious freedom and anti-Muslim discrimination globally.

Neighbors Not Enemies Act This bill repeals provisions authorizing the President to apprehend and remove from the United States the citizens of a particular nation, if the United States has declared war against that nation or that nation has threatened an invasion against the United States.
