This bill prohibits birth tourism, defined as foreign nationals entering the United States primarily to give birth so their child can obtain U.S. citizenship. The legislation makes birth tourism a ground for inadmissibility, preventing pregnant women and their family members who knowingly participate in the practice from entering the country, and creates criminal penalties of up to 10 years in prison for aliens who fail to disclose pregnancy or misrepresent facts to gain admission, as well as for individuals and companies that organize or profit from birth tourism services. Immigration officers would use evidence such as a woman's trimester of pregnancy, expected delivery date, or temporary visa status while pregnant to identify and exclude birth tourists. The bill was introduced in response to a Supreme Court decision affirming that children born in the U.S. to parents without legal status retain citizenship rights under the Fourteenth Amendment, and it reflects Congress's view that citizenship should not be treated as a commercial product. No specific funding or implementation timeline is mentioned in the legislation.

The Somaliland Economic Access and Opportunity Act directs the U.S. Treasury Secretary to prepare a comprehensive report within 180 days analyzing barriers preventing Somaliland, a region in the Horn of Africa near critical shipping routes, from accessing the U.S. financial system. The report must examine legal and regulatory obstacles related to Somaliland's international recognition status, compliance with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing standards, and remittance challenges. The bill asks Treasury to recommend steps both Somaliland and the U.S. government could take to improve financial access, including encouraging international financial institutions like the World Bank and IMF to engage with Somaliland and evaluating Somaliland's incorporation into the SWIFT global payment system. The legislation reflects congressional interest in promoting regional economic stability and security while maintaining appropriate safeguards against financial crime, and it authorizes Treasury to consult with Somaliland officials and private financial institutions during the report preparation.

The CDFI Fund Transparency Act would require the Treasury Secretary (or a designee) to testify before Congress annually about how the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund operates. The bill amends existing law from 1994 that created this federal fund, which supports financial institutions serving low-income communities. The testimony would occur at the request of the chairs of the House Financial Services Committee and the Senate Banking Committee (or their subcommittees) and would cover the previous year's activities and results. The bill contains no new funding requirements and would simply increase congressional oversight of an existing program. This legislation aims to make the CDFI Fund's operations more transparent and accountable to elected officials.

The Housing Supply Expansion Act of 2025 expands the definition of manufactured homes to include units built without a permanent chassis, a change designed to increase housing options and supply. The bill requires the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to establish new safety standards and labeling requirements for these chassis-free manufactured homes so they can be clearly distinguished from traditional ones. States must certify within one year (or two years for states with biennial legislatures) that their laws treat chassis-free manufactured homes the same as traditional manufactured homes in areas like financing, title, insurance, and taxes; states that fail to certify by the deadline will be prohibited from manufacturing, installing, or selling these homes until they comply. The legislation also directs HUD to provide model guidance to help states meet certification requirements and coordinates with other federal agencies to ensure consistent treatment of the expanded manufactured home definition across federal law.

H.Res. 892 authorizes the Speaker of the House to file or join lawsuits challenging provisions in the 2026 appropriations law that provide financial awards to Senate members, arguing these awards violate the 27th Amendment's requirement that changes to congressional compensation cannot take effect until after a new election occurs. The resolution directs the House General Counsel to represent the chamber in any litigation, permits the use of outside lawyers and experts, and requires the Speaker to notify Congress and keep it updated on legal developments. If courts rule the Senate provision unconstitutional, the Speaker is authorized to demand that the Senate reimburse the House for all litigation costs, including legal fees and administrative expenses. The resolution also requires quarterly reporting to Congress of any outside counsel fees incurred during the lawsuit.

The RESET Act repeals a provision from the 2026 government funding law that required Senate offices to be notified when legal processes (such as subpoenas) were used to obtain Senate data. This repeal means that Senate offices would no longer receive advance notice before their data is disclosed through legal requests. The bill was introduced in November 2025 and referred to the House Administration Committee. The legislation essentially removes a notification requirement that previously gave senators and their staff an opportunity to respond to data requests before information was turned over to law enforcement or other entities seeking it through legal channels.

This resolution urges the Food and Drug Administration to conduct a new safety review of medication abortion drugs, citing concerns about their expansion and what sponsors claim are underreported complication rates. The resolution references several policy changes that have made these medications more accessible, including the removal of in-person dispensing requirements and the FDA's September 2025 approval of a generic version of mifepristone. Sponsors argue that independent research suggests complications occur at rates significantly higher than currently reported by the FDA and drug manufacturers. The resolution does not authorize any funding or establish a timeline; it simply calls on the FDA director to reevaluate the safety data and release a public review that includes real-world outcomes and complications. This is a nonbinding resolution expressing the House's position rather than legislation that changes law or policy directly.

Homebuyers Privacy Protection ActThis act limits the circumstances in which credit reporting agencies may provide consumer credit reports to third parties in connection with residential mortgage transactions. Specifically, the act prohibits a credit reporting agency from providing a consumer's credit report to a third party in connection with a residential mortgage transaction unless the transaction consists of a firm offer of credit or insurance and (1) the third party provides documentation certifying that it has the consumer's consent; or (2) the third party has originated a mortgage on behalf of the consumer, is a current mortgage loan servicer to the consumer, or has a current specified banking relationship with the consumer.These provisions take effect 180 days after enactment.The Government Accountability Office must study and report on the value of trigger leads (a marketing tactic facilitated by credit reporting agencies that may result in unsolicited credit offers to a consumer after a consumer applies for a separate type of credit) received by text message.

The Bank Loan Privacy Act requires the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to issue formal rules before deleting or changing small business loan data that it collects and maintains. Currently, the CFPB has discretionary authority to modify or delete this data without advance notice or public input, but this bill would require the agency to go through a formal rulemaking process and explain what data changes it plans to make and how those changes protect privacy. The legislation affects the CFPB and small businesses whose loan information is held in federal databases. There is no specific funding authorization or implementation timeline mentioned in the bill, though the rulemaking process itself would need to follow standard federal administrative procedures including a public comment period before the rules take effect.

Black Vulture Relief Act of 2025This bill allows livestock producers and their employees to take certain actions against black vultures to protect livestock. (Black vultures are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.)Specifically, livestock producers and their employees may (1) take (i.e., capture, kill, or disperse, or transport the carcass of) a black vulture that they reasonably believe will cause death, injury, or destruction to livestock; or (2) in the course of taking or attempting to take the black vulture, cause injury to the bird. However, they may not take or attempt to take a black vulture through the use of poison.Livestock producers and their employees must submit an annual report to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) on black vultures taken under this bill. The FWS must develop a reporting form and make this reporting form available on its website.Currently, the FWS has a permit process under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act for the taking of black vultures.

Court Shopping Deterrence Act This bill gives the U.S. Supreme Court exclusive jurisdiction to hear appeals from a nationwide injunction issued by a U.S. district court.

Safe Access to Cash Act of 2025This bill specifies that robbery offenses involving ATMs and related cash constitute crimes under the federal bank robbery statute.Currently, the federal bank robbery statute makes it a federal crime to take or attempt to take, by force and violence or by intimidation, money or other property belonging to or in the care, custody, control, management, or possession of any bank, credit union, or savings and loan association.However, federal circuit courts have split on whether forcing someone to withdraw money from an ATM constitutes an offense under the federal bank robbery statute. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has held that directly forcing a bank customer to withdraw money from an ATM does not constitute a federal bank robbery because the funds were in the possession of the customer, not the bank. In contrast, the Tenth and Seventh Circuits have held that directly forcing a bank customer to withdraw money from an ATM constitutes a federal bank robbery because the funds belonged to the bank when the withdrawal occurred.This bill specifies that for purposes of the federal bank robbery statute, an ATM and any cash in transit to, being loaded into, or being unloaded from an ATM is in the care, custody, control, management, or possession of, any bank, credit union, or any savings and loan association, regardless of whether the ATM is located on the physical premises of such an institution or owned or operated by such an institution.

Payment Choice Act of 2025This bill requires retail businesses to accept cash as a form of payment for on-site sales of $500 or less and it prohibits them from charging cash-paying customers a higher price compared to customers not paying with cash. Businesses covered by this bill are those engaged in the business of selling or offering goods or services at retail to the public that accept in-person payments at a physical location.The bill establishes exceptions for this requirement, including by allowing a business to provide a device to provide prepaid cards on site for customers to use as payment. Among other requirements, such a card must not have a fee associated with its use and must not require a minimum payment of more than $1.The bill provides for enforcement through preventative relief, damages, and civil penalties.

Bank Privacy Reform Act This bill eliminates provisions that require financial institutions to report certain financial information to specified government agencies. Currently, financial institutions are required to report certain financial transactions (e.g., transfers of over $10,000) for the purpose of detecting illicit activity, such as money laundering or the financing of terrorism. Under the bill, such records are only obtainable through a search warrant.The bill also eliminates reporting requirements related to the beneficial ownership of certain corporate entities.
