This bill amends federal debt collection laws to protect active-duty military members, veterans, and military dependents from abusive collection practices. It prohibits debt collectors from threatening servicemembers with rank reduction, security clearance revocation, or prosecution under military law when collecting debts. The protections apply to active duty members, those who separated from the military within the past year, and their dependents. The legislation also directs the Government Accountability Office to study how these new protections affect the timely delivery of debt collection information, military readiness, and national security concerns related to servicemembers with security clearances.

The SHIELD Act would authorize the President to impose economic sanctions on foreign individuals and companies that use forced labor or child labor in cobalt mining operations overseas. The sanctions would include freezing assets in the United States and barring sanctioned individuals from entering the country or obtaining visas. The bill exempts humanitarian transactions such as food, medicine, and medical assistance from these sanctions, and allows the President to waive sanctions if deemed necessary for national security, with notice to Congress at least 15 days in advance. The legislation responds to documented reports of widespread forced labor and child labor in cobalt mining sectors in certain foreign countries and would remain in effect for seven years from enactment unless extended.

This resolution recognizes the importance of sleep health and designates the week of March 9 through March 13, 2026, as "Sleep Awareness Week." The measure highlights that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends most adults get at least seven hours of sleep per night, yet about 35 percent of American adults sleep less than that, and notes that chronic sleep deprivation increases risks for serious health conditions including diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and depression. The resolution also points out that Black Americans may experience sleep disparities compared to white Americans and encourages public health officials, healthcare providers, educators, and parents to promote adequate sleep. While this is a symbolic resolution with no funding or enforcement mechanisms, it expresses Congress's support for the National Sleep Foundation's long-standing initiative to raise public awareness about the health benefits of good sleep habits.

Effective Assistance of Counsel in the Digital Era Act This bill prohibits the Department of Justice from monitoring the contents of a privileged electronic communication between an incarcerated person and his or her legal representative.

The Flood History Information Act of 2026 creates a data-sharing program that allows private insurance companies to access flood insurance claims and policy information from the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) through voluntary agreements with the NFIP Administrator. Insurance companies can use this shared data only for underwriting, setting premium rates, and adjusting claims—not for marketing purposes. Simultaneously, the bill requires the NFIP to provide property buyers, renters, and current owners with detailed flood history information about their properties, including the number and dollar value of past flood claims and whether the property requires mandatory flood insurance due to prior federal disaster assistance. The NFIP may charge private insurance companies a fee for accessing shared data, but will provide the information to property owners at no cost. The legislation streamlines access to flood risk information to help both the insurance industry and consumers make better-informed decisions about flood insurance coverage.

The TRAIN Act creates a legal process allowing copyright owners to demand that artificial intelligence developers disclose what copyrighted works were used to train their AI models. Copyright owners can file a request with a federal court clerk, and if the clerk finds the request properly completed and sworn under oath, the court will issue a subpoena to the AI developer requiring them to reveal the training materials or records identifying those materials. The law applies specifically to "generative" AI models (those that create images, videos, text, and other content) and covers developers who design or substantially modify these systems. Developers who fail to comply with a subpoena face legal consequences, including a presumption that they improperly copied the work, while copyright owners who misuse this process in bad faith can be sanctioned by the court. The bill has no specified funding and takes effect immediately upon enactment.

The PFAS Accountability Act creates a federal legal pathway for Americans exposed to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)—chemicals widely used in manufacturing that have been detected in the blood of millions of Americans and linked to serious health problems including cancer and reproductive harm. The bill amends the Toxic Substances Control Act to allow individuals or groups who have been significantly exposed to PFAS to sue manufacturers and users of these chemicals in federal court and seek compensation for medical monitoring costs. Courts can order companies to pay for ongoing medical exams and independent research into PFAS health effects, shifting these costs from exposed individuals to responsible companies. The legislation applies to anyone demonstrably exposed to PFAS for at least one year or who has PFAS detected in their blood, with the burden on manufacturers to prove exposure didn't occur if they wish to contest claims. The bill does not eliminate state-level lawsuits and is designed to incentivize industry investment in PFAS safety research while holding manufacturers accountable for widespread contamination.

The Freedom to Heal Act creates a new registration process that allows physicians to administer experimental Schedule I drugs (the most heavily controlled drug category) to terminally ill patients under the existing federal Right to Try law. Introduced in December 2025 with bipartisan support, the bill requires doctors to apply to the Attorney General with proof they can legally prescribe controlled substances, documentation from the drug manufacturer, and evidence of relevant medical training. The Attorney General must approve or reject applications within 45 days, and physicians can request additional drug quantities with a 30-day approval process. The bill requires the Attorney General to issue detailed regulations within 240 days of enactment to establish safeguards against drug diversion, with final rules due within two years. This legislation essentially removes the current barrier preventing Schedule I drugs from being used in Right to Try cases, which already exists as law but has been limited to less-controlled drug categories.

This resolution (1) supports the designation of Drowsy Driving Prevention Week to raise awareness about the dangers of drowsy driving, and (2) encourages people across the United States to take preventable steps against drowsy driving.

This bill directs the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) to gather information from banks and financial institutions about how domestic terrorists and violent extremists buy firearms and firearm accessories, with the goal of identifying suspicious financial patterns. Within one year of the bill's enactment, FinCEN must request this information from financial institutions, consulting first with the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and firearms sellers to ensure the requests are practical and appropriately sized to each institution. Within 18 months, FinCEN must either issue an advisory to help financial institutions spot and report suspicious activity related to firearms purchases, or submit a report to Congress explaining why insufficient information was collected and what barriers prevented gathering the needed data. The bill also requires FinCEN to define key terms like "firearm accessory," "homegrown violent extremist," and "lone actor" within 90 days.

Undetectable Firearms Modernization ActThis bill strengthens the detectability standard for firearms under federal firearms laws. Current law requires firearms to be detectable by walk-through metal detectors after the removal of grips, stocks, and magazines. Specifically, firearms must be as detectable as a security exemplar (i.e., a piece of stainless steel that is 3.7 ounces and in a shape resembling a handgun). There are exceptions, including for firearms manufactured for or sold to U.S. military or intelligence agencies.This bill requires firearms to contain detectable material after the removal of all parts other than major components. It defines detectable material as material that produces a magnetic field equivalent to that produced by 3.7 ounces of stainless steel. The bill also revises and broadens the exceptions to include firearms (1) received by, in the possession of, or under the control of the United States; or (2) produced pursuant to a contract with the United States.

Fire Sale Loophole Closing Act of 2025This bill establishes restrictions on the transfer of business inventory firearms by a federally licensed dealer, importer, or manufacturer of firearms (i.e., a federal firearms licensee, or FFL) whose license is revoked or denied. The term business inventory firearm means a firearm that is required to be recorded in the acquisition and disposition logs of a firearms business.Among the restrictions, the bill generally prohibits the transfer of a business inventory firearm by an FFL to their personal collection or employee after they receive written notice revoking or denying their license or by a former FFL to any non-FFL on or after the date their license is revoked. The bill also prohibits the transfer of a former business inventory firearm from a personal collection within one year of the date the firearm was transferred to the personal collection.An individual who violates the restrictions is subject to criminal penalties—a fine, prison term of up to one year (or five years if the violation was willful), or both.Finally, the bill requires the written notice revoking or denying a license to include the federal statutes and regulations that prohibit a non-FFL from engaging in the business of dealing in firearms, as well as the restrictions on transferring business inventory firearms by an FFL or former FFL whose license is revoked or denied.

Gun Records Restoration and Preservation ActThis bill removes limitations on the authority of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to conduct activities related to the administration of federal firearms laws.Specifically, the bill removes provisions thatlimit the use of firearms tracing data,limit the disclosure of data under the Freedom of Information Act,prohibit imposing a requirement that gun dealers conduct a physical inventory,prohibit consolidating or centralizing records maintained by federal firearm licensees (e.g., gun dealers), andrequire background check records to be destroyed within 24 hours.

This bill establishes a federal grant program to encourage states to create centralized systems for verifying firearm sales and transfers against background check databases. States that participate would receive up to $1 million annually to establish and maintain these "point-of-contact" systems, which licensed firearms dealers could use to confirm whether a sale would be lawful before completing it. The bill requires participating states to process approval requests within 10 days, establish a hotline for dealers to access the national instant criminal background check system, create an appeals process for denied sales, and automatically refer all denials to law enforcement for investigation. States would also need to publish annual reports on denial investigations and system performance, undergo FBI audits, and match at least 75 percent of federal funding with their own resources. The legislation authorizes up to $10 million annually for the grant program and gives preference to participating states in other federal law enforcement grants.

The Protect Children Through Safe Gun Ownership Act would require firearm owners to securely store their guns and establish new restrictions on juvenile firearm possession. Specifically, the bill makes it illegal for gun owners to leave firearms unsecured and accessible, unless they are carrying them personally, and prevents parents from giving written consent for a juvenile to possess a handgun unless an adult is actively supervising. The legislation establishes civil penalties of up to $1,000 for first-time violations and $5,000 for repeat offenses, and creates a private right of action allowing injured individuals to sue gun owners who store firearms unsecurely. Additionally, the bill establishes a grant program for local school districts to educate parents about gun safety and secure storage, with the Department of Education providing guidance within 180 days of enactment. The Attorney General must report to Congress annually on implementation and how the law affects different demographic groups.

The Save Healthcare Workers Act creates a new federal crime for assaulting hospital workers during the performance of their duties, establishing penalties of up to 10 years in prison and fines, with enhanced penalties of up to 20 years for assaults involving weapons, bodily injury, or those occurring during declared public emergencies. The bill applies to a broad range of medical facilities including traditional hospitals, children's hospitals, critical access hospitals, and rehabilitation facilities. It also establishes a federal grant program administered by the Attorney General to help hospitals implement violence-prevention measures such as security technology, staff de-escalation training, and coordination with law enforcement, with $25 million authorized annually for fiscal years 2025 through 2034. The legislation addresses what Congress characterizes as a serious and growing problem, noting that healthcare workers experience workplace violence at rates five times higher than workers in other industries, a trend that has worsened since the COVID-19 pandemic and disrupts patient care quality.

The Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act of 2025 would designate approximately 9.3 million acres of federal land across Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming as protected wilderness areas, wild and scenic rivers, and biological wildlife corridors. The legislation establishes hundreds of new wilderness designations and expands existing ones to preserve ecosystems, protect threatened species like grizzly bears and lynx, maintain water quality, and allow wildlife movement across fragmented habitats. The bill also designates over 30 river segments as wild and scenic rivers, creates approximately 2.9 million acres of "biological connecting corridors" that prohibit timber harvesting and mining, and establishes roughly 1 million acres of "wildland recovery areas" to be restored to natural conditions within three years. The legislation protects tribal treaty rights and existing water rights, exempts major highways and existing roads from restrictions, and requires an interagency monitoring team to track implementation. The bill does not include specific funding amounts in the sections provided.

This resolution supports the designation of Sleep Awareness Week.

This bill designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 28 East Airy Street in Norristown, Pennsylvania, as the "Charles L. Blockson Post Office Building".
