H.R. 7974 would speed up public access to information about federal government spending by amending an existing transparency law. Currently, federal agencies have up to 30 days to post details about grants, contracts, and other awards they make; this bill would require them to post that information within 3 days instead. The change affects all federal agencies and any members of the public who want to track how government money is being distributed. The bill does not include new funding or establish a specific deadline for implementation beyond the 3-day posting requirement. The measure aims to give citizens, researchers, and watchdog organizations faster and more current information about federal spending.

The UBER Act would require that federal government contracts with ride-sharing and shared-use mobility companies only be awarded if all drivers meet specific English proficiency standards.

The bill applies to contracts for transportation services provided in the continental United States, Alaska, and Hawaii, and requires companies to certify compliance with these requirements. Companies found in violation would be barred from receiving federal contracts for five years. The legislation was introduced in January 2026 and referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

The Energy Freedom Act would eliminate dozens of federal tax credits and subsidies for clean energy and green technology, affecting electric vehicles, home energy efficiency improvements, renewable energy installations, clean hydrogen production, nuclear power, carbon capture, sustainable aviation fuel, and advanced manufacturing. The bill repeals major tax incentive programs enacted in recent years, including credits for renewable electricity, energy-efficient homes and buildings, commercial clean vehicles, and clean fuel production, along with the federal petroleum tax. Most repeals would take effect on January 1, 2026, for property, equipment, and vehicles placed in service after that date. The legislation also eliminates provisions that allowed renewable energy producers and certain investment trusts to receive these tax credits through direct payments instead of traditional tax deductions. Overall, the bill represents a significant rollback of federal incentives for clean energy adoption and production.
