This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for reproductive justice as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary. The measure affirms that all people have the right to have children, not have children, and raise children in safe communities, and it condemns restrictions on abortion, contraception, gender-affirming care, and family formation that disproportionately affect low-income people and communities of color. The resolution commits Congress to advancing policies including universal healthcare covering the full range of reproductive services, eliminating funding barriers to reproductive care, protecting against pregnancy criminalization, ensuring paid family leave, and providing affordable childcare and family support services. The bill does not authorize new spending or create binding law, as it is a non-binding resolution expressing the chamber's position on reproductive rights and equity. The measure was introduced in July 2026 and was referred to the House Committees on Energy and Commerce, Judiciary, and Education and Workforce.

H.R. 9415, the Safeguarding American Families and Expanding Social Security Act of 2026, makes two major changes to Social Security. First, it gradually removes the income cap on Social Security payroll taxes for higher earners, starting in 2026 at 80 percent taxation of wages above the current threshold and reaching full taxation by 2030. Second, beginning in 2027, the bill changes how Social Security benefits are adjusted for inflation by replacing the standard Consumer Price Index with a new "Consumer Price Index for Elderly Consumers" that reflects the actual spending patterns of retirees on goods and services. The Bureau of Labor Statistics will create and publish this specialized index monthly. These changes aim to strengthen Social Security's finances while ensuring benefits keep pace with costs that matter most to older Americans.

Small Business Cybersecurity Assistance Evaluation Act of 2026This bill requires the Government Accountability Office to study current federal cybersecurity initiatives, programs, resources, tools, and services that assist small businesses to identify and prepare for cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities.The study must include information about the most common cyberattacks affecting small businesses and recommendations for improving the effectiveness, awareness, and coordination of federal cybersecurity initiatives and programs.

This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for establishing fundamental rights for small business owners seeking financing. The resolution identifies seven key protections small businesses should have: transparent pricing and terms presented in writing, financing products that don't trap businesses in expensive reborrowing cycles, responsible underwriting based on business ability to repay, honest and impartial communication from lenders and brokers, fair and equal treatment free from discrimination, fair collection practices, and protection from predatory legal agreements like confessions of judgment. The resolution does not allocate any funding or establish binding requirements, but instead calls on Congress to use these principles as a framework for future legislation and regulations. The resolution emphasizes that small businesses represent 99 percent of all firms in the United States and account for 61 percent of net new job creation, making their access to fair financing crucial to economic growth.

This bill establishes a framework to strengthen support for crime survivors by directing states to guarantee eight essential rights including trauma counseling, emergency financial assistance, stable housing, paid leave, debt forgiveness, legal assistance, alternative justice options, and protection from prosecution for crimes committed as a result of victimization. Importantly, these rights cannot be withheld based on factors like immigration status, criminal history, relationship to the perpetrator, or whether the survivor reported the crime to police. The bill also authorizes $5 million in grants for fiscal years 2027 and 2031 to help states survey crime survivors about their needs, experiences with available services, housing issues, and victimization rates among vulnerable populations, with findings to be publicly reported by the Bureau of Justice Statistics. The legislation provides clear definitions of key terms including who qualifies as a survivor of violence and which community organizations can participate in delivering these services.

The Same-Day Paratransit Innovation Act aims to expand flexible transportation options for people with disabilities by encouraging transit agencies to offer same-day paratransit services instead of requiring 24-hour advance scheduling. The bill affects approximately 18.6 million Americans with travel-limiting disabilities and increases federal funding support for these services, offering up to 90 percent coverage for capital projects and up to 80 percent for operating costs when agencies meet the bill's standards. The legislation requires the Federal Transit Administration to establish minimum technology standards for paratransit software within one year, covering accessibility, cybersecurity, data ownership, and the ability to integrate multiple service providers like taxis and rideshare companies. Transit agencies receiving federal grants must comply with these standards starting one year after publication for urbanized and special needs programs, and two years later for rural programs. The bill is based on findings that current ADA paratransit rules create barriers to employment, education, and community participation, and evidence that same-day services can increase ridership while reducing operational costs.

The Connecting Communities Through Transit Planning Act expands and strengthens a federal grant program that helps communities plan for transit-oriented development—the creation of housing and commercial spaces near public transportation hubs. The bill broadens what types of transit projects qualify for planning grants, now including bus rapid transit corridors and improvements to existing rail systems, and significantly expands what "planning" covers to include site evaluation, design work, utility coordination, and other predevelopment activities needed before construction begins. A new requirement ensures that planning grants prioritize accessibility for people with disabilities, seniors, veterans, and other transit-dependent populations. The legislation authorizes $75 million annually from 2027 through 2031 to fund these planning grants, supporting communities across the country as they prepare transit-oriented development projects.

The RIDER Safety Act amends federal transit funding law to make transit support specialists eligible for federal crime prevention and security grants. Transit support specialists are defined as unarmed personnel who work on public transportation vehicles, stops, and stations to provide security through their visible presence, engagement with riders, and monitoring for disruptive behavior—without carrying weapons or making arrests. The bill allows public transit systems to use both capital grants and operational grants from federal transit programs (specifically under Section 5338 of the transit law) to hire and fund these specialists, who would handle tasks like assisting riders, reporting suspicious activity, de-escalating conflicts, and connecting people with crisis intervention services. This legislation, introduced in November 2025, is intended to enhance rider safety across U.S. transit systems by creating an additional layer of non-police security presence that can prevent problems and assist law enforcement by handling minor incidents. The bill does not specify new funding amounts or timelines, but rather redirects existing federal transit grant eligibility to include this category of personnel.

H.R. 5096, the Disability and Age in Jury Service Nondiscrimination Act, amends federal law to prohibit courts from excluding people with disabilities from serving on federal juries solely because of their disability status. The bill modifies existing jury qualification rules by replacing the broad term "infirmity" with a narrower standard that only disqualifies individuals with disabilities that cannot be reasonably accommodated, meaning courts must consider whether accommodations could enable someone with a disability to serve. The legislation also adds age as a protected category, preventing age-based discrimination in jury selection. This change affects all federal courts and individuals with disabilities who wish to participate in the jury system, expanding access to civic participation while maintaining the integrity of the judicial process through reasonable accommodation requirements. The bill contains no specific funding provisions or implementation timelines.

H.R. 3736 adds the Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator to the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council, the body that sets rules for how the federal government awards contracts. Currently, the council includes representatives from major federal agencies like the Department of Defense and General Services Administration, but the SBA has no formal seat at the table. This bill ensures small businesses have a dedicated voice in shaping federal contracting policies and regulations. Within 90 days of the bill becoming law, the SBA Administrator must report to Congress on what staff and resources they'll need to participate effectively in the council, as well as recommend any changes to laws or policies that would help them do the job. The legislation has no specific funding authorization listed and affects federal contracting procedures going forward.
