This concurrent resolution establishes the congressional budget for the federal government for FY2027, sets forth budgetary levels for FY2028-FY2036, and provides reconciliation instructions for legislation that increases the deficit. The resolution recommends levels and amounts for FY2027-FY2036 forfederal revenues,new budget authority,budget outlays,deficits (on-budget),debt subject to limit,debt held by the public, andthe major functional categories of spending.The resolution includes reconciliation instructions that direct the House Agriculture Committee, the House Armed Services Committee, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and the House Administration Committee to submit recommendations for legislation that will increase the deficit over FY2027-FY2036 by not more than specified amounts. Each committee must submit the recommendations to the House Budget Committee by September 11, 2026. (Under current law, reconciliation bills are considered by Congress using expedited legislative procedures that prevent a filibuster and restrict amendments in the Senate.)In addition, the resolution establishes a reserve fund that allows certain adjustments to committee allocations and other budgetary levels to accommodate reconciliation legislation.Finally, the resolution sets forth budget enforcement procedures that address issues such asadjustments to committee allocations and other budgetary levels;the budgetary treatment of the discretionary administrative expenses for the Social Security Administration and the U.S. Postal Service;emergency spending; andadditional adjustments for disaster relief, wildfire suppression, health care fraud and abuse control, continuing disability reviews and redeterminations, and reemployment services and eligibility assessments.

This bill extends existing IRS tax anti-abuse rules to digital assets by applying "constructive sale" rules that prevent taxpayers from avoiding taxes through offsetting digital asset positions that lock in gains. The legislation treats tokenized digital assets as substantially identical to stocks, bonds, or partnership interests for tax purposes, while excluding U.S. dollar stablecoins from these requirements. The bill clarifies that it does not determine whether digital assets are securities or commodities under federal law, leaving those regulatory determinations to other agencies, and applies only to constructive sales occurring after the bill's introduction, with no retroactive application to prior tax years.

This bill would amend the tax code to exempt overtime compensation earned by U.S. Border Patrol agents from federal income taxation. Currently, while some federal employees can exclude certain overtime pay from their taxable income, Border Patrol agents are not explicitly included in this benefit. The legislation would modify the definition of "qualified overtime compensation" to cover overtime and supplemental pay earned by Border Patrol agents above their regular base salary, including premium pay and overtime work compensation. The change would apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2025, and would primarily benefit Border Patrol agents working along U.S. borders by reducing their federal tax liability on overtime earnings. The bill was introduced in May 2026 and referred to the House Ways and Means Committee.

The Title IX Clarification Act of 2026 would amend the Education Amendments of 1972 to define sex under Title IX based on biological reproductive characteristics. Specifically, the bill would define "sex" as an individual's biologically determined sex (male or female), with "female" defined by the natural capacity to produce ova and "male" defined by the natural capacity to produce sperm. The legislation would apply to all education programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance, affecting schools, colleges, and universities nationwide. The bill would take effect upon enactment with no specific funding provisions included. This change would clarify how federal nondiscrimination requirements under Title IX are interpreted regarding sex-based protections in educational settings.

The Fuel STAR Act of 2026 modifies the federal Renewable Fuel Standard, which requires fuel blends to contain increasing amounts of biofuels, primarily ethanol. The bill caps renewable fuel mandates at levels matching projected ethanol consumption, allowing small refineries to more easily obtain exemptions from blending requirements based on economic hardship criteria, and extends the usability of certain renewable fuel credits from earlier years. The legislation also allows year-round sales of E15 gasoline, which contains 15 percent ethanol instead of the current 10 percent limit, by removing seasonal vapor pressure restrictions on these higher-ethanol blends. The changes primarily affect refineries and fuel producers, with benefits aimed at smaller facilities facing compliance costs, while also expanding consumer access to higher-ethanol fuel options.

The Securing Accountability in Foreign Entries Act tightens regulations on who can serve as an importer of record for goods entering the United States. The bill requires importers of record to be U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or entities with a physical U.S. location and at least one U.S. citizen or permanent resident owner or employee—with limited exceptions for entities from Canada, Australia, and certain reciprocal countries, as well as large foreign parent companies with substantial U.S. subsidiaries. The legislation also mandates that importers pay all import duties, taxes, and fees directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection through electronic bank transfers from U.S.-based accounts verified through anti-money-laundering procedures, and increases the minimum continuous import bond requirement from current levels to $100,000 per importer. Most provisions take effect one year after the bill's enactment, with regulations due within 360 days, giving U.S. Customs and Border Protection time to establish verification procedures and enforcement rules affecting importers, customs brokers, and freight companies involved in international trade.

H.R. 7745 requires the Department of Defense to establish policies and procedures for conducting wellness checks on service members who suffer significant injuries or illnesses or report to sick call. If a service member doesn't respond to initial electronic or phone contact during a wellness check, personnel must attempt in-person contact, and if the member cannot be located, the case must be referred for investigation as potentially missing or absent without leave. The bill directs unit commanders to work with military lawyers to implement these wellness check requirements, conduct regular reviews of critical information requirements, and hold confidential meetings with subordinate commanders and medical officers to discuss significant health issues. Additionally, the Department of Defense and each military service must develop and provide training courses to all service members and civilian employees about the importance of accountability for health and welfare to prevent negative outcomes from failed accountability procedures. The bill has no specified funding amount or implementation deadline mentioned in the provided text.

This bill requires the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to publicly announce and accept public input before finalizing land protection plans. Specifically, the agency must publish proposed plans in the Federal Register at least 60 days before approval and allow the public to submit written comments during that period. The requirement applies to most land acquisitions, though it exempts smaller expansions to national wildlife refuges—those involving fewer than 50 acres or less than 15 percent of an existing refuge's total acreage. The bill aims to increase transparency and public participation in federal decisions about protecting and acquiring land. No specific funding or implementation timeline beyond the 60-day comment period is included in the legislation.

This bill expands which organizations can accredit Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans (MA SNPs), which are health insurance plans designed for people with specific chronic conditions, disabilities, or dual eligibility for Medicare and Medicaid. Currently, only one accrediting organization (NCQA) can approve these specialized plans, but the bill allows additional private accrediting organizations to do so starting in 2026, as long as they meet standards set by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. The change affects Medicare beneficiaries who rely on these specialized plans and the insurance companies that offer them, potentially increasing competition and plan options. The bill was introduced in January 2026 and referred to the House Ways and Means Committee and the Committee on Energy and Commerce for consideration.

The Consistency in Foreign Investment in the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement Act directs the U.S. Trade Representative to push Canada and Mexico to adopt foreign investment review frameworks similar to the U.S. system during the next official review of the USMCA trade agreement. The bill seeks to establish a coordinated mechanism among the three countries to identify and address foreign investments that pose national security risks, particularly in sensitive sectors like artificial intelligence, semiconductors, biotechnology, and critical infrastructure. The legislation affects trade policy and national security oversight, requiring coordination among the Trade Representative, Secretary of State, and Secretary of the Treasury, and mandates technical assistance to help Canada and Mexico build comparable investment screening systems. There is no specific funding authorization or implementation timeline mentioned beyond requiring action during the next joint USMCA review.

The SHIELD Act would prohibit states and local governments from receiving federal funding if they arrest, prosecute, or otherwise interfere with federal immigration enforcement officers performing their duties. The bill applies broadly to all federal financial assistance, meaning any state or locality determined by the Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security to have taken such actions would lose federal funds for that fiscal year, with those funds reallocated to compliant jurisdictions. The legislation is premised on the argument that immigration enforcement is exclusively a federal responsibility and that states and localities should not be able to obstruct federal officers lawfully carrying out their duties. Funding could only be restored if the Attorney General certifies that the jurisdiction has stopped the conduct and provided written assurance it won't happen again. The bill would take effect immediately upon enactment and applies starting in fiscal year 2026.

The Healthy Competition for Better Care Act prohibits health insurance companies and health plans from entering into anticompetitive contracts with healthcare providers that prevent patients from accessing lower-cost or higher-quality care. Specifically, the bill bars agreements that restrict insurers from steering patients to other providers, offering incentives to use specific doctors or hospitals, or negotiating lower rates independently. The legislation affects group health plans, individual health insurance policies, and employers offering coverage to their workers. The bill includes exceptions for traditional health maintenance organizations and value-based networks like accountable care organizations and centers of excellence, which may use exclusive provider arrangements. Federal regulators at the Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, and Treasury have one year from enactment to write detailed regulations implementing the rules, with the restrictions taking effect 18 months after the law is passed.

This bill directs the U.S. Trade Representative to take action against Mexico for allegedly favoring its state-owned energy companies—the Federal Electricity Commission and Petroleos Mexicanos—in violation of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). The legislation requires the Trade Representative to either request a formal dispute resolution panel under the USMCA or demand that Mexico provide fair market access to American energy companies during the trade agreement's first joint review. The bill specifically targets Mexican government actions that have disadvantaged U.S. companies and energy exports to Mexico. Within 90 days of enactment, the Trade Representative must report to Congress on what steps have been taken to enforce compliance with USMCA obligations regarding market access, investment protection, and state-owned enterprise rules. The bill has no specified funding amount or implementation timeline beyond the required 90-day reporting deadline.

Prevent Government Shutdowns ActThis bill provides continuing appropriations to prevent a government shutdown if the appropriations bills for a fiscal year have not been enacted before the fiscal year begins and continuing appropriations are not in effect.Specifically, the bill provides appropriations at the rate of operations that was provided for the prior fiscal year to continue programs, projects, and activities that were funded in the preceding fiscal year.The bill also limits official travel, congressional recesses or adjournments, and the consideration of legislation that is unrelated to appropriations after the beginning of a fiscal year if the appropriations process has not been completed.

H.R. 5564 amends federal pesticide law to require the Environmental Protection Agency to work more closely with the U.S. Department of Agriculture when making decisions about pesticides. Specifically, when the EPA requires safety measures for a pesticide, it must coordinate with USDA and publish an economic analysis showing how those measures will affect farmers and other users. The bill also requires the EPA to consider agricultural data and information about alternative pesticides from USDA before making registration decisions, and to publicly explain how it used that information. Additionally, the bill calls for coordination among the EPA, USDA, and other agencies when implementing environmental protections related to pesticides under the Endangered Species Act. The coordination requirements can be waived if the EPA, USDA, and the pesticide manufacturer all agree and the agreement is publicly documented.

H.Res. 765 is a commemorative resolution recognizing the 10-year anniversary of the TORQE 62 crash on October 2, 2015, in Jalalabad, Afghanistan, in which a C-130J Super Hercules military transport aircraft crashed during departure, killing 11 people—six U.S. Air Force service members and five civilian contractors who were supporting Operation Freedom's Sentinel. The resolution honors the specific airmen who died, including Captain Jonathan Golden, Captain Jordan Pierson, and four enlisted personnel, ranging in age from 21 to 33. This is purely a ceremonial measure with no funding or policy changes; it expresses the House's condolences to the families and loved ones of those killed and acknowledges the ongoing legacy of the crew through military remembrance ceremonies and commemorative events. The resolution affirms recognition of the daily risks faced by military personnel and civilian contractors serving overseas.

The Medicare Advantage Prompt Pay Act would require Medicare Advantage insurance plans to pay healthcare providers faster for submitted claims. Specifically, plans must pay at least 95 percent of clean claims (complete, error-free claims) within 14 days for electronically submitted claims from contracted providers, or within 30 days for all other claims. If plans miss these deadlines, they must pay interest to providers at the same rate the federal government pays when it makes late payments. The bill also creates civil penalties of up to $25,000 per violation if the federal government determines a plan is not complying with these requirements, and requires plans to publicly report detailed information about their claim payment performance. These new requirements would take effect on January 1, 2027, for items and services furnished on or after that date.

Congressional Money Returned to America Act or the Congressional MRA ActThis bill requires funds that were provided to House offices for the Members' Representational Allowance (MRA) and remain in the MRA account after all payments for the year are made to be deposited in the Treasury and used for deficit or debt reduction. The MRA is an allowance that Members of the House of Representatives receive each year to operate their offices. It must be used to support official and representational duties and may not be used for personal or campaign purposes. Annual appropriations acts that fund the legislative branch have generally included a provision that requires unused amounts remaining in the MRA to be used for deficit reduction or to reduce the federal debt. This bill makes this requirement permanent.

Prevent Government Shutdowns Act of 2025This bill provides continuing appropriations to prevent a government shutdown if the appropriations bills for a fiscal year have not been enacted before the fiscal year begins and continuing appropriations are not in effect.Specifically, the bill provides appropriations at the rate of operations that was provided for the prior fiscal year to continue programs, projects, and activities that were funded in the preceding fiscal year.The bill also limits official travel, congressional recesses or adjournments, and the consideration of legislation that is unrelated to appropriations after the beginning of a fiscal year if the appropriations process has not been completed.

The Stop Greenlighting Driver Licenses for Illegal Immigrants Act would penalize states that issue driver licenses to individuals without proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful residency, or that block local and state officials from sharing immigration information with federal authorities. States violating either condition would be required to return unobligated Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program funds (federal law enforcement grants) to the U.S. Treasury within 30 days and would become ineligible to receive these grants until they change their policies. The bill affects any state with driver license policies that diverge from its requirements and directly impacts the federal grant funding available to state and local law enforcement agencies. The legislation establishes immediate compliance timelines, with states having 30 days to repay grant funds after either issuing a license to an undocumented immigrant or maintaining restrictions on information-sharing with federal immigration authorities.

This bill prohibits the U.S. Department of Agriculture from using race-based or sex-based criteria when administering ten major agricultural programs, including pandemic relief, crop insurance, farm loans, conservation programs, and rural development initiatives. The legislation requires these programs to be administered according to principles of meritocracy, fairness, and equal opportunity for all participants. The bill affects farmers and agricultural producers who receive benefits through these USDA programs, as well as the department's decision-making processes for program eligibility and distribution. No specific funding amounts or implementation timelines are specified in the legislation.

H.R. 4833, the Dyess Air Base Access Infrastructure Design Act, directs the Secretary of the Air Force to develop planning and design plans for improvements to two vehicle gates at Dyess Air Force Base in Texas: the Tye Gate and the Arnold Gate. The Tye Gate project is authorized at up to $17 million (with design costs capped at 7 percent of that total), while the Arnold Gate project is authorized at up to $12.065 million (with design costs capped at 8 percent). The designs must address specific challenges at each gate, such as minimizing utility conflicts and phasing construction at the Tye Gate, and managing site congestion and complex traffic coordination at the Arnold Gate. The Air Force will fund these planning and design activities using existing military construction budget allocations rather than requiring new appropriations. This legislation essentially sets the stage for potential future construction at these base access points by requiring the Air Force to complete the groundwork planning needed before any building projects move forward.

Guarding and Administering Trespass Enforcement, Controlling Restricted Areas, and Stopping High-risk Encroachment Recidivism and Sabotage Act or the GATE CRASHERS ActThis bill establishes a new federal criminal offense for going onto Department of Defense property that is closed or restricted without authorization.

The USTRx Act directs the U.S. government to challenge foreign pharmaceutical price controls it views as unfairly exploiting American drug innovation. The bill establishes a new Chief Pharmaceutical Trade Negotiator within the U.S. Trade Representative's office to conduct negotiations and enforcement actions against high-income countries that use price regulations the bill considers non-market-based. The Trade Representative must annually review and report to Congress on each wealthy nation's pharmaceutical policies, assessing whether they deny fair market access to American products, discourage innovation, or violate trade agreements. If violations are identified, the administration must submit a response plan within 30 days that may include initiating formal trade investigations. The bill reflects concern that other countries' government price-setting shifts pharmaceutical development costs to American patients and taxpayers while limiting incentives for global drug innovation.

This bill requires states to reimburse the federal government for the costs of deploying military forces—including the National Guard and active-duty troops—when those deployments occur in response to civil unrest caused by a state's failure to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement operations. The legislation defines reimbursable costs as temporary duty expenses, housing, meals, transportation, and equipment for deployed military personnel. Before invoicing a state, the Department of Homeland Security and Attorney General must jointly determine that the state materially hindered or failed to support the federal immigration enforcement actions that prompted the military deployment. States have 180 days to pay invoices from the Department of Defense, and if a state fails to pay, the President may withhold discretionary federal grants to that state as an offset.
