The Housing Price Transparency Act requires companies that use algorithms to set or recommend rental prices to clearly disclose this practice to renters. The bill applies to any landlords, property management companies, or rental platforms using computational systems—including artificial intelligence and machine learning—to determine monthly rental rates. The Federal Trade Commission will enforce the disclosure requirement and can treat violations as unfair or deceptive practices, while state attorneys general can also pursue civil actions on behalf of residents. Renters injured by violations can sue directly in federal court for actual damages or at least ten thousand dollars per violation, with prevailing plaintiffs recovering attorney's fees. The bill sets a two-year statute of limitations for private lawsuits and does not include specific funding or implementation timelines.

This bill amends federal energy law to establish new rules for how costs are shared for major electric transmission projects. The legislation allows companies that build or significantly expand high-capacity transmission lines—including those crossing state borders or located offshore—to request approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to allocate costs to customers based on the benefits those customers receive. Specifically, the bill applies to new transmission lines with at least 1,000 megawatts of capacity or expansions that add at least 500 megawatts of capacity, completed after the law takes effect. The goal is to make cost-sharing fairer by tying what customers pay to the reliability, economic, and resilience benefits they gain from the projects. The bill does not specify new federal funding for transmission projects or implementation timelines beyond requiring Commission approval of cost allocation plans.

This joint resolution would reject a regulation issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services that sets benefit and payment parameters for health insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act for 2027, as well as rules for the Basic Health Program. If passed by both chambers of Congress and signed into law, the regulation would be invalidated and have no legal effect. The resolution was introduced in June 2026 and uses the Congressional Review Act process, which allows Congress to overturn federal agency rules. The legislation is supported by Democratic members and directly affects how insurance coverage and payments would be structured for millions of Americans enrolled in ACA marketplace plans and Basic Health Program coverage starting in 2027. No specific funding is mentioned since this resolution focuses on disapproving an existing regulation rather than appropriating money or creating new programs.

This resolution designates June 8 through 12, 2026, as Academic Medicine Week to recognize the contributions of the nation's medical schools, teaching hospitals, and academic health systems. The measure highlights the work of approximately 500 academic health institutions and 163 medical schools that collectively train physicians and health care professionals, conduct medical research, provide patient care for complex cases, and strengthen communities. According to the resolution, these institutions conduct 60 percent of all federally funded medical research through the National Institutes of Health, provide one-third of hospital charity care, and generated more than $728 billion in economic output in 2019 while supporting over 7 million jobs. The resolution calls on Congress to maintain strong federal support for academic medicine programs and emphasizes the ongoing need to address physician shortages, particularly in rural and underserved areas. As a symbolic measure, this resolution does not authorize funding or establish binding policy but rather expresses the House's support for acknowledging academic medicine's role in the U.S. health care system.

The At HOME Services Act establishes a two-year demonstration program allowing hospitals to provide outpatient observation services to Medicare beneficiaries in their homes rather than requiring them to come to the hospital. The program grants participating hospitals regulatory waivers and flexibility from certain staffing and facility requirements that normally apply in hospital settings, such as requirements for 24-hour on-site nursing and physical environment standards. Hospitals that participate must maintain the same standard of care for home-based services as they would provide in the hospital, meet patient safety standards set by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, and submit data on care quality, costs, and patient outcomes. The Secretary must launch the program within one year of the bill's enactment and conduct a comprehensive study comparing outcomes, costs, readmission rates, and patient demographics between home-based and traditional hospital observation services. A report on the study findings must be published within one year after the program concludes, and relevant data will be made publicly available on Medicare.gov.

The Advancing Safe Medications for Moms and Babies Act of 2026 aims to increase medical research involving pregnant and lactating women so doctors have better information about how drugs affect these populations and their infants. The bill requires the FDA to update its regulations within 180 days to align with existing HHS protections for pregnant women in clinical trials, making it easier for them to safely participate in drug studies. It also directs the Department of Health and Human Services to launch a public education campaign with $5 million annually through fiscal year 2031 to inform patients, families, and healthcare providers about available clinical trials and registries that include pregnant and lactating women. Additionally, the bill establishes a research prioritization process at the National Institutes of Health to fund studies on existing and new drugs used by pregnant and lactating women, with reporting requirements to Congress over a five-year period. The legislation addresses a significant gap in medical knowledge by ensuring that pregnant and nursing mothers can safely contribute to clinical research that will ultimately improve treatment options for their own health and their babies' health.

H.R. 6620 amends federal flood insurance law to treat private flood insurance the same as federal flood insurance when determining whether a property owner has maintained continuous coverage. Currently, homeowners and businesses in flood-prone areas must carry flood insurance to comply with federal requirements, but the law only counts continuous coverage through the government-run National Flood Insurance Program. This bill allows private flood insurance policies to count toward continuous coverage requirements, giving property owners more flexibility in how they meet federal flood insurance mandates. The change applies to all existing continuous coverage rules under federal flood law. The bill, introduced in December 2025 by Representatives Castor and Salazar, does not include specific funding or implementation timelines.

This bill directs the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to launch a national public awareness campaign to increase human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates and combat vaccine misinformation. HPV causes approximately 39,300 cancer cases annually in the United States, including cervical, anal, oropharyngeal, and other cancers, with vaccination rates currently around 63 percent among adolescents and disparities affecting rural areas and communities of color. The campaign will develop culturally tailored resources for underserved communities, partner with healthcare providers and schools to increase vaccination completion, and test messaging for effectiveness. The bill authorizes $5 million annually from 2026 through 2030 for the awareness campaign and increases funding for cervical cancer screening programs to $300 million per year during the same period, with a progress report due to Congress by September 2027.

Increasing Access to Lung Cancer Screening Act This bill provides for coverage without prior authorization requirements of annual lung cancer screenings under Medicaid, Medicare, and private health insurance for individuals for whom screenings are recommended under U.S. Preventive Services Task Force guidelines. It also expands Medicaid coverage of counseling and pharmacotherapy for cessation of tobacco use to all individuals, rather than only pregnant women. The Department of Health and Human Services must conduct outreach on the importance of lung cancer screenings and who should be screened, and the Government Accountability Office must report on the demographics of those diagnosed with lung cancer and recommend ways the federal government can improve screenings.

The CLEANER Act requires the EPA to regulate oil and gas industry waste products—including drilling fluids, produced water, and other byproducts from crude oil, natural gas, and geothermal energy production—under federal hazardous waste laws for the first time. Currently, these wastes are largely exempt from regulation. Within one year of the bill's enactment, the EPA must determine which of these wastes qualify as hazardous and issue regulations to manage them accordingly, while also setting standards for facilities that handle non-hazardous oil and gas waste. The new standards must include groundwater monitoring, location criteria for waste facilities, and financial safeguards to protect human health and the environment. This legislation affects the oil, gas, and geothermal energy industries and aims to close a long-standing regulatory loophole that has allowed these industries to dispose of waste with minimal oversight.

The Ethics in Energy Act of 2025 prohibits large electric utilities and natural gas companies from charging customers (ratepayers) for their political influence activities, including lobbying, campaign contributions, advertising to shape public opinion, and trade association dues. The bill applies to major utilities—those with at least 1 million megawatt-hours in annual sales or equivalent major gas companies—and requires the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to establish new accounting rules and reporting requirements within 18 months of enactment. Utilities must submit detailed annual reports listing all political spending, and violations carry escalating penalties ranging from the cost of the disputed expense to triple that amount depending on the size, with no ability to pass those penalties back to customers; half of collected penalties go to ratepayers as rebates while the other half funds regulatory enforcement.

Honest Elections and Campaign, No Gain Act This bill establishes certain requirements for disbursing unused funds after a federal election. The bill also requires former candidates serving as registered lobbyists or foreign agents to comply with disbursement requirements. Specifically, the bill requires each authorized committee or leadership political action committee (PAC) of a candidate to disburse all unused funds within a specified time period beginning after an election or before the candidate registers as a lobbyist or foreign agent, unless the candidate files to run for office again before the disbursement period begins. A committee or PAC disbursing unspent funds shall first pay any obligations incurred. If funds are left over, the committee or PAC may only disburse the funds in one or more of the following ways: (1) returning funds to donors; (2) making contributions to nonprofit organizations; and (3) transferring funds without limitation to a national, state, or local committee of a political party. The bill generally prohibits disbursements to relatives of the candidate. A former candidate must, in order to register as a lobbyist or foreign agent, comply with the disbursement requirements outlined by this bill.

The Keep Kids Covered Act extends health insurance coverage for children under Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Specifically, it requires states to provide continuous coverage for newborns until age 6 (instead of just one year), for children ages 6 through 18 for 24 months without interruption, and for former foster youth until age 26. The bill also requires states to collect updated contact information from enrolled families at least once per year and inform them about their coverage status and how long their continuous eligibility will last. These changes take effect one year after the bill becomes law, except for foster youth coverage provisions, which begin 180 days after enactment. The legislation aims to prevent children from losing health insurance due to administrative gaps or paperwork delays.

The Community Solar Consumer Choice Act of 2025 requires the Department of Energy to establish a program within one year to increase participation in community solar programs, which allow multiple households and businesses to share the benefits of a single solar energy facility. The bill targets low- and moderate-income individuals, small businesses, nonprofits, and local governments who typically lack access to rooftop solar installations. Electric utilities across the country would be required to offer community solar programs with fair access for all ratepayers, while the Department of Energy would provide technical assistance and help leverage federal financing programs to support these projects. States and utilities have up to two years to review and implement community solar standards, though states that have already adopted similar programs are exempt. The bill also expands the Federal Government's ability to participate in community solar programs and extends the maximum contract length for federal renewable energy purchases from their current limits.

H.Res. 531 is a symbolic resolution that designates June 23-27, 2025, as Academic Medicine Week to recognize the contributions of the nation's medical schools, teaching hospitals, and academic health systems. The resolution acknowledges the critical role these institutions play across four key areas: training physicians and healthcare workers, conducting medical research (including about 60 percent of all NIH-funded research), delivering advanced patient care, and serving communities. The resolution highlights that academic medicine institutions collectively contribute over $728 billion to the U.S. economy and support millions of jobs, while also addressing ongoing challenges like the projected physician shortage of up to 86,000 doctors by 2036. The House supports increased federal funding for graduate medical education, research, and health professions training programs to ensure adequate physician supply and healthcare access, particularly in rural and underserved areas. Since this is a resolution rather than legislation, it does not authorize spending but rather expresses Congress's recognition and support for academic medicine institutions and calls for continued federal investment in their programs.

The ENROLL Act strengthens the health insurance navigator program under the Affordable Care Act by expanding the services these counselors provide and increasing their funding. The bill requires navigators to help consumers understand not just private health plans but also Medicaid and children's health insurance programs, conduct public education campaigns, maintain in-person offices in their states, and perform outreach activities throughout the year rather than just during open enrollment periods. The legislation directs the federal government to fund navigators in federal health insurance exchanges with $100 million annually starting in fiscal year 2026, with those funds remaining available until spent, and prioritizes awarding grants to community-based nonprofit organizations. These changes take effect for health insurance plans beginning January 1, 2026, and affect millions of Americans who use navigators to find and enroll in health coverage.

The Expediting Generator Interconnection Procedures Act of 2025 directs the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to streamline the process for connecting new power generation and energy storage projects to the nation's electric grid. The bill requires FERC to initiate a rulemaking within 180 days and complete final rules within 18 months that address inefficiencies in the current interconnection system, making it faster and more cost-effective for companies to get their projects online. The new rules will require power companies to use realistic operating assumptions, consider customers' risk preferences, implement transparent procedures, and employ advanced technologies like automation to speed up approvals and construction. The legislation applies to all generation projects and energy storage facilities (including batteries, hydropower, hydrogen, and other technologies) that fall under FERC's jurisdiction, affecting utilities, renewable energy developers, and storage companies nationwide. The bill does not change how the costs of building transmission upgrades are allocated between utilities and developers.

The Employee Limits ON Profiteering Act would prohibit the federal government from awarding contracts, grants, or similar funding to special government employees and their close associates. The ban applies to federal contracts and grants going to special government employees themselves, their spouses and children, their business partners, and organizations where they hold leadership or employment positions. The only exception allows special government employees who serve solely on advisory committees to remain eligible for federal awards. The bill requires the Federal Acquisition Regulation to be updated within 60 days of enactment to implement these restrictions. The legislation aims to prevent federal employees in temporary or part-time positions from personally profiting off government contracts and funding.

The Advancing GETs Act requires the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to create financial incentives for companies that install technologies improving the efficiency, capacity, and reliability of the electrical grid. Developers installing these grid-enhancing technologies would recover between 10 and 25 percent of the savings their investments generate over a three-year period, but only if the expected savings are at least four times the installation cost. The bill also requires utility operators to report annual data on grid congestion costs to help identify where infrastructure improvements are most needed, and it directs the Department of Energy to establish a guide and technical assistance program to help utilities and developers implement these technologies. The legislation authorizes approximately $6 million in funding through 2036, with the incentive program subject to review and potential revision after seven to ten years of operation.

H.R. 2673, the Florida Coastal Protection Act, would amend federal law to prohibit oil and natural gas exploration and development in three specific ocean areas off Florida's coast: the Eastern Gulf of Mexico, the southern portion of the South Atlantic Planning Area, and the Straits of Florida Planning Area. The bill affects oil and gas companies seeking new leases or authorizations to operate in these waters, while protecting Florida's coastal interests from potential drilling activities. The prohibition would take effect upon the bill's enactment but would not cancel or affect any leases that were already issued before the law passes. No new federal funding or specific timelines are included in the legislation, as it primarily restricts future permitting authority rather than creating spending programs. The bill was introduced in April 2025 by Florida representatives from both parties and was referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.
