This bill establishes a Federal Cryptocurrency Theft Task Force within the Department of Justice to coordinate law enforcement efforts against cryptocurrency crimes. The task force, chaired by the Attorney General, will include senior representatives from the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, Treasury Department, and other relevant federal agencies to serve as the central coordinating body for investigating and prosecuting cryptocurrency theft cases. The task force will develop best practices and training materials for state and local law enforcement, facilitate information sharing across jurisdictions, identify gaps in criminal enforcement authorities, and provide technical assistance to prosecutors and investigators nationwide. The bill requires the Attorney General to submit annual reports to Congress summarizing task force activities, emerging threats, and recommendations for strengthening cryptocurrency theft investigations. The legislation clarifies that it does not create new crimes, regulate cryptocurrency markets, or grant private individuals the right to sue, and participation by state and local governments remains voluntary.

The Protect the Presidency Act would amend federal law to make the death penalty a possible punishment for attempting to assassinate the President, Vice President, or other protected individuals. Currently, federal law allows for lengthy prison sentences for assassination attempts, but this bill would add capital punishment as an option. The legislation makes a targeted change to Section 1751 of the federal criminal code by inserting language that allows courts to impose the death penalty in addition to or instead of imprisonment for these crimes. The bill does not establish new funding requirements or implementation timelines. The change would apply to future cases involving assassination attempts against the covered federal officials.

This bill makes it a federal crime for state and local government officials to block or limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement requests, specifically targeting policies that prevent authorities from getting advance notice before immigration detainees are released from custody. The law would apply criminal penalties to senior government officials who knowingly obstruct these notification requirements, with sentences ranging from 30 days to 25 years depending on the severity of the crime the detainee committed—the longest sentences (10-25 years) reserved for cases involving murder, rape, or sex offenses against minors. The bill affects state and local government executives, law enforcement agencies, and detention facilities that currently operate under "sanctuary" policies limiting immigration enforcement cooperation. No specific funding or implementation timeline is included in the legislation, which was introduced in February 2026 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee.

The Stop Settlement Slush Funds Act of 2026 restricts how the federal government can use settlement agreements in civil cases. Under this bill, government officials cannot require defendants to make payments to third parties as part of settlement deals, except when those payments directly compensate victims for actual harm or cover legitimate legal services. The law applies to all federal agencies and creates penalties for officials who violate these rules, with violations subject to the same penalties as violations of federal anti-corruption laws. To monitor compliance, the bill requires each federal agency to submit annual reports to Congress listing all settlement agreements that include payments to outside parties, and agency Inspectors General must audit compliance and publicly report any violations. The reporting requirements expire after seven years, though the restrictions on settlement donations remain permanent.

This bill excludes certain Social Security benefits from federal income taxation. Specifically, it protects from taxes any additional Social Security payments that individuals received as a result of the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023, but only for benefits paid between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025. The legislation affects Social Security recipients who received restored or increased benefits under the 2023 fairness act during this one-year window. The bill amends the tax code to ensure these restored benefits are not counted as taxable income, effectively providing tax relief to beneficiaries. No new federal funding is required, as this is a tax exclusion rather than a spending program.

The Credit Card Competition Act requires the Federal Reserve to establish new regulations within one year to increase competition in credit card processing networks. Specifically, the law prevents large credit card issuers (those with over $100 billion in assets) and payment networks from forcing credit cards to process on only one network or a limited set of networks, and it prohibits them from blocking merchants' ability to choose which network processes their transactions. The bill also requires the Federal Reserve to create and maintain a public list of payment networks that pose national security risks or are controlled by foreign governments, which would be exempt from the competition requirements. The regulations will take effect 180 days after the Federal Reserve finalizes them, with the Fed reviewing market conditions every three years to ensure the largest networks remain competitive. This legislation aims to lower costs for consumers and merchants by enabling them to use competing payment networks rather than relying on dominant providers.

The Foreign-Trade Zone Export Enhancement Act of 2025 clarifies how tariffs apply to goods manufactured in U.S. foreign-trade zones that are exported to Canada or Mexico under the USMCA trade agreement. The bill allows certain merchandise that would normally face tariff restrictions to enter duty-free when it's made or processed in a foreign-trade zone and then exported directly to a USMCA partner country. This legislation affects manufacturers and distributors who use foreign-trade zones to assemble or modify products for export, potentially lowering their costs and making U.S. goods more competitive in North American markets. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency must issue regulations to implement the new rules within 90 days of the law's enactment. The bill's stated goal is to support U.S. manufacturing competitiveness and job creation by streamlining tariff treatment for zone-based exports.

This bill directs the U.S. State Department to develop a strategy aimed at securing full membership status for Taiwan in Interpol, the international police organization that facilitates global crime-fighting coordination. Taiwan was ejected from Interpol in 1984 when the People's Republic of China joined, and the bill argues that Taiwan's exclusion creates a security gap by preventing direct access to Interpol's real-time global communications system and forcing Taiwan to rely on secondhand information from friendly nations. The legislation commits the United States to advocate for Taiwan's participation in appropriate international organizations through diplomatic channels, including high-level U.S.-China discussions, and instructs Interpol Washington to formally request membership status for Taiwan and urge member states to support it. Within 90 days of enactment, the State Department must submit a report to Congress detailing its strategy and efforts, and Interpol Washington must provide a separate assessment of security threats posed by Taiwan's current exclusion. The bill reflects broader congressional support for Taiwan's international engagement on security and public health matters, drawing parallels to earlier successful efforts to obtain Taiwan observer status in the World Health Assembly.

This bill requires tax-exempt charitable organizations—particularly think tanks and nonprofits—to publicly disclose donations from foreign governments and foreign political parties if the aggregate gifts exceed $10,000 per year. Currently, universities must report foreign gifts to the Department of Education, but think tanks and other nonprofits face no such requirement. The legislation is driven by concerns that foreign governments, especially China, are using donations to influence U.S. policy and access sensitive information through organizations in Washington, D.C. and elsewhere. The bill would create a searchable public database maintained by the IRS containing the names of foreign donors and donation amounts, with particular emphasis on tracking contributions from China, the Chinese Communist Party, and their affiliated entities. The reporting requirement would take effect for organizations filing tax returns after the bill's enactment.

Leadership in Critical and Emerging Technologies Act or the Leadership in CET ActThis bill directs the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to establish and carry out a pilot program to expedite the patent examination process for patents involving critical or emerging technologies (i.e., artificial intelligence, semiconductor design, or quantum information science). The USPTO must report to Congress on the impact and effectiveness of the pilot program.

H.R. 1792 would prohibit the United States from providing any federal funding to three United Nations organizations: the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). The bill also requires the Government Accountability Office to conduct a comprehensive study within 180 days to identify all federal funding these organizations have received since 2021, list which federal programs provided the money, and determine how much these organizations should repay the U.S. government. Additionally, the GAO must audit the State Department's Refugee Travel Loan Program. This legislation would affect refugee and migration assistance programs that currently receive U.S. contributions and would significantly alter how the United States participates in international humanitarian operations through the United Nations.

Protect America’s Innovation and Economic Security from CCP ActThis bill reestablishes an initiative in the National Security Division of the Department of Justice (DOJ) to combat espionage, theft of intellectual property and trade secrets, and threats to critical infrastructure posed by the Chinese government. A similar initiative was launched in 2018 and discontinued in 2022.Specifically, this bill establishes the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) Initiative and sets forth its objectives, including to curb spying by the Chinese Communist Party on U.S. intellectual property and academic institutions; develop an enforcement strategy for technology transfers by nontraditional collectors (e.g., researchers in labs or at universities) to Chinese individuals and entities or their agents contrary to U.S. interests; and address China-related risks arising from foreign investments in U.S. businesses and real estate.The bill further specifies that the CCP Initiative must prioritize the identification and prosecution of trade secret theft, hacking, and economic espionage; the protection of critical infrastructure in the United States; and the identification of intellectual property theft from U.S. businesses.Under the bill, the CCP Initiative terminates six years after enactment.

Protecting Federal Funds from Human Trafficking and Smuggling Act of 2025This bill prohibits a nonprofit entity from receiving federal funds (and denies a tax exemption) unless the entity certifies compliance with certain federal laws (e.g., laws with respect to human trafficking and smuggling).The bill also establishes reporting requirements, including that the Government Accountability Office must annually report to Congress on those nonprofit entities that do not certify their compliance with these laws.Finally, the bill removes the provision of federal law that exempts nonprofit charitable organizations that provide federal public benefits from having to verify the eligibility of program participants.
