This bill transfers all functions and responsibilities of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) from its current leadership under the Department of Homeland Security to the Secretary of Transportation. The change affects airport security screening, transportation safety oversight, and all related TSA operations and programs nationwide. The bill ensures that existing TSA contracts, permits, rules, and ongoing legal proceedings continue without interruption, while allowing the Transportation Department to exercise all the authorities previously held by TSA leadership. The legislation also makes conforming changes to federal law, repealing the section of the Homeland Security Act that established the TSA and modifying transportation code to reflect that TSA will now operate as a distinct entity within the Department of Transportation rather than within Homeland Security.

The Secret Service Transfer Act of 2026 would move the United States Secret Service from the Department of Homeland Security to the Executive Office of the President, making it a presidential agency rather than part of the cabinet department. All current Secret Service personnel, assets, contracts, and liabilities would transfer to the Executive Office, with the existing director continuing in that role at the same compensation level. The agency would initially maintain its current organizational structure and operations following the transfer, though the director would have authority to reorganize it later to improve efficiency and effectiveness. The legislation gives the Department of Homeland Security one year from enactment to assist with the transition and requires all transfer activities to be completed within that timeframe. This change would place the Secret Service directly under presidential control for its protective and investigative missions.

This bill designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 3255 Northwest 94th Avenue in Coral Springs, Florida, as the "Nancy Metayer Post Office Building".

The Artemis Accords Authorization Act directs the State Department to promote and expand the Artemis Accords, an international agreement that establishes norms for peaceful and responsible space exploration. The bill establishes a Special Coordinator position at the State Department to lead diplomatic efforts to increase participation in the accords, which currently has 61 signatory nations committed to principles including transparency, compatibility, and safe space activities. The legislation requires the State Department and NASA to submit reports every 180 days for four years detailing new participating countries, compliance assessments, and efforts to counter rival space governance initiatives by China and Russia. Additionally, the bill directs the State Department to develop a strategy within 180 days on integrating low-earth orbit satellite technology into U.S. foreign policy, including using government financing tools to help other countries acquire American satellite systems. The bill is designed to advance U.S. leadership in space exploration while strengthening alliances with democratic partners and countering competitors' influence over global space governance.

This bill requires the U.S. Secretary of State to develop and submit a comprehensive strategy to Congress within 180 days aimed at supporting a democratic transition in Venezuela. The strategy must address five key areas: U.S. diplomatic efforts; plans to secure the release of political detainees; measures to counter foreign authoritarian influence from Cuba, Russia, Iran, and China; allocation of foreign aid to help Venezuelan citizens; and support for Venezuelan civil society organizations, independent media, and human rights defenders. The Secretary must then report annually to Congress for two years on progress implementing the strategy, and consult with the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Senate Foreign Relations Committee every six months throughout this process. The bill does not specify new funding amounts but directs how existing foreign assistance should be deployed to advance democratic reform in Venezuela.

The Veterans Pensions Protection Act of 2025 shields veterans and their surviving family members from having certain types of compensation counted against their pension eligibility. Specifically, the bill exempts insurance reimbursements and settlement payments for medical expenses resulting from accidents, theft, loss, or casualty events—such as car accidents or natural disasters—from being counted as income when determining pension amounts. It also exempts pain and suffering awards, including court-ordered damages and insurance settlements, though the Secretary of Veterans Affairs will determine case-by-case limits on these exclusions. The law applies to pensions for veterans, surviving spouses, and children. The changes take effect 180 days after the bill is enacted, meaning veterans and their families won't lose pension benefits when they receive insurance settlements or legal awards related to accidents or disasters.

The Replace Animal Tests Act of 2025 prohibits companies from submitting animal testing data to federal regulators if scientifically valid non-animal alternatives are available and approved by the agency. The bill applies to four major regulatory agencies—the FDA, EPA, Consumer Product Safety Commission, and Department of Agriculture—and affects any company seeking regulatory approval for products or substances under their oversight. Companies that violate the rule face civil penalties up to $10,000 per violation, though exceptions exist for data from foreign regulatory requirements, pre-existing data, and cases where agencies specifically request animal testing with written justification. Within one year of enactment, covered agencies must issue guidance on acceptable non-animal test methods and publish annual reports on animal use, testing types, and waivers granted, with information made publicly available online while protecting proprietary details.

This bill establishes a federal backstop program administered by the Treasury Department to protect home insurance companies from insolvency when catastrophic natural disasters cause widespread damages. The program covers residential property losses from hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, tornadoes, and other disasters (but not floods, which are covered separately) and applies only to disasters occurring after January 1, 2026. States can voluntarily participate by submitting an approved insurance plan, and when insured losses from a covered disaster exceed a state-specific threshold, the federal government will pay insurers the excess amount through Treasury-issued bonds that states must repay over 10 years with interest. The trigger amounts—which determine when federal payments kick in—will be calculated by the National Academy of Sciences based on each state's insurance market size and the likelihood of severe disasters, reviewed every two years. The program aims to make disaster insurance more affordable and available in the marketplace while ensuring insurers remain solvent during major catastrophes.

Federal Emergency Management Continuity Act of 2025This bill requires the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to continue using certain funds in the Disaster Relief Fund (DRF) during a lapse in appropriations (i.e., government shutdown).Specifically, FEMA must continue obligating and disbursing funds in the DRF that were appropriated before the lapse in appropriations and remain available to be expended. The funds may be used for any disaster relief, emergency assistance, and recovery program authorized under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, including individual assistance, public assistance, and other disbursements and obligations for programs or activities necessary to protect life and property during a lapse in appropriations.The bill also requires employees who are necessary to carry out these disbursements or related program activities to be treated as excepted employees under the Anti-Deficiency Act. (Excepted employees are required to work during a lapse in appropriations.) The bill also prohibits these employees from being subject to a furlough or a reduction in force due to a lapse in appropriations.

This resolution requires the House of Representatives to convene and hold recorded quorum calls during a government shutdown. It also limits recesses and adjournments during a government shutdown. Under the resolution, a government shutdown occurs when there is a lapse in appropriations for any federal agency or department as a result of a failure to enact a regular appropriations bill or a continuing resolution.The resolution requires the House to convene on each day on which a government shutdown is in effect unless a recess or adjournment is permitted. Under the resolution, such a recess or adjournment is only permitted if the House has met for each of the first five consecutive calendar days on which the government shutdown is in effect,the proposed period of adjournment or recess does not last for more than two consecutive calendar days, andthe House has met for at least five consecutive calendar days since the expiration of the most recent period of adjournment or recess.The resolution also requires the House to hold at least one recorded quorum call on each day that the House is in session during a government shutdown. Members of the House who fail to record their presence during a quorum call on two or more consecutive days must be fined $500 for a first offense and $2,500 for any subsequent offense unless the failure is due to an illness. A Member may not use official or campaign funds to pay the fine.

This bill makes technical amendments to the U.S. Code to revise references to statutory provisions reclassified to Title 7 (Agriculture), Title 20 (Education), and Title 43 (Public Lands).

H.R. 4461 restricts donations to Presidential Libraries and Centers to prevent potential conflicts of interest and improper influence. While the libraries are operating, the bill prohibits donations from registered lobbyists, foreign agents, federal contractors, foreign nationals, and people seeking or receiving pardons from the president; only donations from registered nonprofit organizations would be allowed. The bill also caps total donations at $10,000 per person from the time a president is elected through one year after leaving office, with the limit adjusted annually for inflation. After a president leaves office, there is a two-year cooling-off period where the same restricted sources cannot donate. Presidential Libraries must report all donations of $200 or more quarterly to the National Archives within 15 days, with reports published online for public transparency. Violations carry civil penalties up to $20,000 or the donation amount (whichever is greater), and criminal penalties include fines and up to one year in prison; violations involving more than $50,000 in donations carry enhanced penalties including up to five years imprisonment.

H.R. 4240, the Countering Untrusted Telecommunications Abroad Act, directs the State Department to report on the use of Chinese and Russian telecommunications equipment—particularly from Huawei and ZTE—in U.S. allied countries and American embassies. The bill requires the Secretary of State to submit initial reports within 180 days of enactment, then annually for two years, detailing which allied nations with collective defense agreements with the U.S. have untrusted telecom equipment in their 5G networks, which carriers use it, and replacement plans. A separate report must assess whether U.S. embassy staff devices are being serviced by Chinese companies and evaluate the security risks involved. The legislation also directs the State Department to promote trusted telecommunications infrastructure globally through diplomatic support and encourages the U.S. Trade and Development Agency to provide early-stage funding for projects that advance American national security interests by replacing untrusted equipment with secure alternatives.

The 3D Printed Gun Safety Act of 2025 would make it illegal to distribute computer files or code online that can be used to 3D-print firearms or firearm parts. The bill targets anyone who intentionally shares these digital instructions, such as Computer Aided Design files, over the internet or the World Wide Web. Congress wrote the legislation in response to concerns that 3D-printed guns are untraceable, may evade metal detectors due to plastic components, and allow people prohibited from owning firearms—including felons and domestic abusers—to circumvent background checks and licensing requirements. The bill would amend federal firearms law (Title 18, Chapter 44) but does not specify criminal penalties, funding amounts, or implementation timelines in the text provided. The sponsors argue this targeted approach addresses a national security and public safety threat while avoiding restrictions on computer programmers' First Amendment rights.

Supporting American Allies ActThis bill exempts articles imported into the United States from Israel or Ukraine from additional tariffs imposed by an April 2, 2025, executive order.On April 2, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order imposing an additional 10% tariff on most imports to the United States and additional country-specific tariffs on 57 trading partners (including a 17% tariff on Israel). Therefore, this executive order imposes an additional 10% tariff on imports from Ukraine and an additional 17% tariff on imports from Israel. This bill exempts articles from Israel or Ukraine from these additional tariffs.

This bill creates a new optional block grant program for states recovering from major disasters, allowing them to receive a lump sum of federal funding instead of the traditional case-by-case reimbursement approach under disaster relief law. Under the program, the Federal Emergency Management Agency would assess a state's disaster recovery costs and provide a single block grant that the state can use flexibly for recovery activities, with the option to request one adjustment if the initial amount proves insufficient. States that choose this block grant option would no longer be eligible for direct federal public assistance funding for that specific disaster, but any leftover funds could be redirected toward preparedness or mitigation efforts. The bill requires participating states to submit detailed reports on how they use the funds within 120 days and annually thereafter, and directs FEMA to report to Congress annually on how well the program works, including whether cost estimates are accurate and timely and what administrative challenges exist.

H.R. 3252 creates a new optional program allowing states to receive lump-sum block grants for temporary housing assistance after major disasters, rather than having individuals and households apply for housing aid directly from the federal government. Under this program, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) would assess the total cost of temporary housing needed in a disaster-affected state, provide that amount as a block grant to the state, and allow the state to distribute funds as it sees fit—with the option to request one adjustment if the initial amount proves insufficient. States that choose this alternative program would opt out of the standard federal temporary housing assistance process, and any leftover funds could be redirected to disaster preparedness or mitigation activities. The bill requires states to submit detailed reports within 120 days, annually, and after funds are depleted, while FEMA must report to Congress annually on program participation, implementation challenges, and recommendations for improvements, beginning within 12 months of the bill's enactment.

FEMA Independence Act of 2025This bill establishes the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as an independent, cabinet-level agency in the executive branch. It also transfers from FEMA to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) certain grant programs for protecting communities and nonprofits from terrorist attacks.The bill removes FEMA from DHS. FEMA’s existing functions as a DHS component must transfer to FEMA as an independent agency within one year after the bill’s enactment. The independent FEMA generally retains its existing mission, authorities, and functions. FEMA continues to have 10 regional offices.The bill requires FEMA to be headed by a Director who is appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate and reports directly to the President as a Cabinet member. (Under current law, the President may designate the FEMA Administrator as a Cabinet member in the event of a disaster.) The Director must have knowledge of emergency management and homeland security and five years of leadership experience in each the public sector and the private sector. The President may appoint up to four Deputy Directors.The bill also establishes within FEMA an Office of the Inspector General.Also, the bill transfers from FEMA to DHS the authority to administer the Homeland Security Grant Program, Urban Area Security Initiative, and Nonprofit Security Grant Program.

The Single Application for School Safety Act (SASS Act) simplifies the process for schools to apply for federal grants to improve security by allowing them to submit a single application instead of separate ones to multiple agencies. Currently, schools seeking federal funding for security upgrades must submit separate applications to both the COPS Director (Community Oriented Policing Services) and the BJA Director (Bureau of Justice Assistance). This bill directs the Attorney General to establish a unified application process so schools can apply for grants from either or both agencies with just one submission. The legislation also requires federal grant administrators to provide technical assistance to schools completing applications. While the bill does not authorize new funding, it streamlines the existing grant programs and removes administrative barriers for schools trying to access resources they are already eligible to receive.

Measures for Safer School Districts Act or the MSD ActThis bill requires each local educational agency (LEA), as a condition of receiving federal elementary and secondary education funds, to establish procedures for responding to school emergencies and for timely notifying parents of school emergencies. It also requires interior and exterior doors in schools to be reinforced. Specifically, the bill requires each LEA to (1) develop and implement emergency response procedures covering all students, faculty, and staff at public schools under the jurisdiction of the LEA; and (2) ensure that parents and guardians receive timely notification of covered threats and emergencies (e.g., active shooter situations, bomb threats, and natural disasters) that occur on school grounds, during school transportation, or during school-sponsored activities. These emergency response procedures must meet specified criteria, including by requiring commonly used alarm system responses for specific types of emergencies.Additionally, the bill requires the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to convene a rulemaking advisory committee to review and develop findings and recommendations to require the installation or modification of interior and exterior doors in any school that receives federal funding. Further, CISA must (1) submit a report to Congress on the advisory committee's findings and recommendations, and (2) issue a final rule that requires the installation or modification of interior and exterior doors in schools to reinforce such doors.The bill authorizes the use of grants under the Homeland Security Grant Program to carry out the bill's provisions.

This resolution affirms that Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons is a credible threat to the United States and an existential threat to Israel and other allies and partners in the Middle East. The resolution also (1) demands that Iran cease engaging in activities such as enriching uranium and developing a nuclear warhead, and (2) asserts that all options should be considered to address the nuclear threat posed by Iran.
