The Hardworking Seniors Act would amend tax law to allow seniors who are enrolled in Medicare Part A to contribute to Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), which are currently not available to Medicare beneficiaries. Under current rules, people cannot contribute to HSAs once they become eligible for Medicare, but this bill would create an exception for those enrolled in Medicare Part A specifically due to reaching age 65. The legislation would apply to contributions made starting January 1, 2027, and is referred to the House Ways and Means Committee. This change would allow working seniors and those with other income sources to set aside pre-tax dollars for medical expenses while maintaining their Medicare coverage.

This resolution eliminates a requirement to include the text of H.R. 1346, the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act of 2025, as passed by the House of Representatives, in H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 (commonly known as the farm bill). The requirement is contained in H.Res. 1224, which also provides for the consideration of both H.R. 7567 and H.R. 1346. (H.Res. 1224 was agreed to in the House on April 29, 2026.)

This bill requires tax-exempt organizations that help resettle or relocate noncitizens in the United States to report aggregate information about their activities on their annual tax forms starting in 2027. Organizations must disclose the total number of noncitizens they assist with resettlement activities, how many of those individuals they help enroll in federal benefits programs, and details about the nature of their assistance—though they cannot identify specific individuals in their reports. The Treasury Secretary must compile this data and submit an annual statistical report to Congress beginning December 31, 2028, providing lawmakers with a broad overview of immigrant resettlement activities by nonprofits. The bill affects charities and other tax-exempt groups involved in immigrant services but includes privacy protections to prevent identification of individual immigrants.

The Federal Benefits Repatriation Verification Act of 2026 would restrict noncitizens receiving federal benefits from sending money outside the United States, capping transfers at $1,000 per year. The bill affects noncitizens who receive any federal assistance including Social Security, food stamps, unemployment insurance, Medicaid, housing assistance, or similar programs, and would require them to annually certify their compliance with the repatriation limit as a condition of continued eligibility. The legislation directs the Treasury Department to establish a centralized database to track all money transfers by these individuals and requires banks, money services, and cryptocurrency exchanges to report transfers and verify compliance before processing transactions. Financial institutions that fail to comply could face civil penalties up to $25,000 per violation, and any person who violates the restrictions would be immediately ineligible for federal benefits. The regulations needed to implement the program are due within 12 months of enactment, with the full law taking effect two years after passage.

This resolution allows the House to accept a Senate-modified version of H.R. 7147, which provides additional government funding for fiscal year 2026 ending September 30, 2026. The House agrees to the Senate's changes but adds its own modifications outlined in Rules Committee Print 119-21. This is a procedural measure that moves a consolidated appropriations bill forward through the legislative process, affecting federal agencies and programs that rely on these funds to operate. The resolution was passed by the House on March 27, 2026, indicating lawmakers were working to finalize government funding relatively close to the end of the fiscal year. Without access to the specific text of H.R. 7147 and the referenced Rules Committee Print, the exact funding amounts and affected programs cannot be determined from this procedural resolution alone.

H.R. 8137 creates two new tax credits to encourage production of renewable materials made from biomass. The first credit provides 10 cents per pound for companies that produce qualified renewable materials—such as biobased chemicals and products created through conversion of biomass—at facilities in the United States, with a $10 million annual cap per facility and a 10-year qualifying period. The second credit offers a 30 percent investment tax credit for companies that purchase equipment and property used to build or upgrade facilities for renewable material production. Both credits apply to materials made from domestically sourced biomass and exclude fuel products, food, and feed items. The credits become available immediately upon enactment, and the Treasury Department must issue implementing regulations within 180 days of the bill's passage.

The Federal Funds Whistleblower Protection Extension Act extends legal protections to employees, contractors, and agents of state and local governments who report misuse, waste, fraud, or abuse of federal money. Currently, whistleblower protections primarily cover federal employees, leaving those working in state-administered federal programs vulnerable to retaliation. This bill closes that gap by prohibiting state and local officials from firing, demoting, reducing pay, or otherwise punishing workers who disclose violations of federal law or gross mismanagement in federally funded programs. The bill establishes criminal penalties ranging from $50,000 fines for negligent retaliation up to $250,000 fines and five years in prison for intentional retaliation meant to conceal fraud or benefit the official personally. To enforce compliance, the bill makes adherence a condition of federal funding, allowing the government to suspend or terminate federal assistance to states or localities that fail to protect whistleblowers.

H.R. 7731 would allow American Olympic and Paralympic athletes to exclude prize money and medal bonuses from their taxable income without any income limit restrictions. Currently, federal tax law caps how much athletes can exclude from taxes, but this bill would remove that cap entirely, meaning athletes at any income level could keep all their Olympic and Paralympic winnings tax-free. The legislation affects competitive athletes who win medals or receive prize money from the U.S. Olympic Committee and would apply to all prizes and awards received after December 31, 2025. The bill has no specified federal funding since it reduces tax revenue rather than appropriating funds, and it was introduced in February 2026 with bipartisan sponsorship.

This resolution provides for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 2988) to amend the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 to specify requirements concerning the consideration of pecuniary and non-pecuniary factors, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2262) to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to exclude certain activities from hours worked, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2270) to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to exclude child and dependent care services and payments from the rate used to compute overtime compensation; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2312) to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to revise the definition of the term ''tipped employee'', and for other purposes; and providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4366) to clarify the treatment of 2 or more employers as joint employers under the National Labor Relations Act and the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938.

Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families ActThis bill provides statutory authority for states to use Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds for pregnancy centers that (1) support protecting the life of the mother and the unborn child; and (2) offer resources and services to mothers, fathers, and families, including relationship counseling, prenatal and pregnancy education, pregnancy testing, diapers, baby clothes, and material supports.

This resolution provides for House consideration of S.Amdt. 3937, a Senate amendment to H.R. 5371, Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act, 2026.

The Habitat Enhancement Now Act establishes two competitive grant programs administered by the Interior Department to boost populations of migratory waterfowl across North America. The first program provides grants to states, tribes, nonprofits, and individuals to install and maintain "hen houses"—cylindrical nesting structures placed in prairie potholes (small wetlands)—primarily in the prairie pothole region where most North American ducks breed. The second program offers grants specifically for developing breeding habitat in California, including establishing nesting cover, creating brood ponds, and providing incentives to private landowners willing to participate in these conservation efforts. The legislation allocates $3.5 million annually for each grant program from fiscal years 2026 through 2030, with the Interior Department required to establish both programs within 180 days of the bill's enactment. These initiatives aim to complement existing habitat conservation efforts by using cost-effective tools to increase waterfowl nesting success, which experts have identified as the key factor in sustaining healthy duck populations.

This House resolution establishes the rules and procedures for debating four separate bills on the House floor. The first bill (H.R. 2483) would reauthorize federal programs that help prevent and treat opioid use disorders, affecting individuals struggling with opioid addiction and the healthcare providers who serve them. The other three bills focus on Small Business Administration operations: one would require SBA offices to relocate out of sanctuary jurisdictions, another would mandate citizenship documentation for certain SBA loan applicants, and the third would cap the number of small business lending companies. The resolution sets specific debate times for each bill, with the opioid bill receiving up to one hour of general debate plus additional time for amendments, while each SBA bill gets one hour of debate. This procedural resolution does not contain funding amounts or implementation timelines, as those details would be found in the underlying bills themselves.

This bill allows a state or local authority (e.g., a transit authority) to use public transportation grants to make a partial advance payment for bus rolling stock (e.g., transit buses). Specifically, a public transportation grant recipient may use grant funds to make an advance payment of not more than 20% of the total purchase order value of a bus rolling stock vehicle without requiring the vehicle manufacturer to provide a performance bond (or similar financial arrangement). In order to make an advance payment, the recipient must meet certain requirements. For example, the recipient must have a signed purchase order and an executed contract with a vehicle manufacturer that includes advance payment provisions.

This bill establishes a new federal grant program to help students pursue careers in law enforcement or criminal justice. The program would provide eligible students with up to $4,000 per year in grants, with a maximum total of $16,000 per student, to cover the cost of earning an associate or bachelor's degree in law enforcement or criminal justice at approved institutions. In exchange for receiving a grant, students must commit to working as full-time law enforcement officers for at least four years within eight years after graduation; those who fail to meet this service obligation would have their grants converted to federal student loans that must be repaid with interest. The bill prioritizes funding for this program among other higher education initiatives and includes flexibility for extenuating circumstances, such as medical discharge from law enforcement service. The specific funding amount is not specified in the legislation, though it authorizes "such sums as may be necessary" from existing higher education appropriations, excluding funds from Pell Grants and Direct Loans.

More Opportunities for Moms to Succeed Act or the MOMS ActThis bill establishes requirements to enable the collection of certain child support during pregnancy, establishes grants for supportive services for women that promote alternatives to abortions, and requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish a website with pregnancy resources other than those about abortions.Specifically, the bill requires states to apply child support obligations to the time period during pregnancy under the Child Support Enforcement program. (The program enables states to receive federal matching funds for expenses related to child support enforcement activities and related services.) Such child support applies at the request of the mother and may be applied retroactively. Also, HHS must award grants to nonprofits to provide pregnant and postpartum women, and women parenting young children, with services or information on topics including health care (excluding abortions), child care, and employment assistance. It also requires HHS to provide grants to health care providers in rural or medically underserved areas, as well as tribal areas, to purchase equipment enabling telehealth visits for prenatal and postnatal care (e.g., monitoring devices).Additionally, the bill requires HHS to establish a public website to inform pregnant and postpartum women, and women parenting young children, of nearby services and resources on topics including health care, material or legal support, and alternatives to abortion. States must, as a condition of receiving certain federal funds, provide lists of nonprofit child placement agencies for potential inclusion on the site.

This House resolution sets the rules for debating three separate pieces of legislation on the House floor. The first measure would overturn an IRS rule requiring brokers to report gross proceeds from digital asset sales, affecting cryptocurrency traders and investment platforms. The second bill extends the time limit for prosecuting unemployment fraud cases that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic under the CARES Act, giving investigators more time to pursue fraudulent claims. The third bill provides continuing appropriations to keep the federal government funded through September 30, 2025, preventing a government shutdown. The resolution also includes a provision that pauses the countdown clock for Congress to act on terminating a national emergency declared by the President on February 1, 2025, effectively giving lawmakers more time to consider that issue.

Hearing Device Coverage Clarification ActThis bill requires the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to specify that fully implanted active middle ear hearing devices are prosthetics (not hearing aids) and are covered under Medicare.

H.R. 1683, the Protecting Rural Seniors' Access to Care Act, blocks the federal government from implementing or enforcing a staffing requirement rule for nursing facilities that was finalized in May 2024. The bill prevents the Department of Health and Human Services from adopting any similar staffing standards going forward. To study workforce challenges instead of imposing mandates, the legislation requires the creation of a 17-member Advisory Panel on the Nursing Home Workforce within 60 days, including nurses, nurse aides, physicians, and nursing home administrators—with specific representation from rural and underserved areas. The panel must meet at least twice yearly and submit an initial report within 60 days of its first meeting assessing workforce shortages, access barriers, and regulatory burdens, followed by annual updates. While the bill includes no direct funding provisions, it redirects federal nursing home policy away from minimum staffing rules toward advisory recommendations on workforce strengthening and reducing regulatory burden.

Protecting America’s Seniors’ Access to Care ActThis bill prohibits administration, implementation, or enforcement of the rule titled Medicare and Medicaid Programs; Minimum Staffing Standards for Long-Term Care Facilities and Medicaid Institutional Payment Transparency Reporting, which was issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on May 10, 2024. Specifically, the bill prohibits administration, implementation, or enforcement of provisions that, among other changes, (1) establish minimum staffing standards for nurses in Medicare and Medicaid long-term care facilities, including requiring a nurse to be onsite 24/7 and requiring a minimum of 3.48 total nurse staffing hours per resident per day; and (2) require state Medicaid programs to report on payments to direct care workers and support staff of nursing facilities and intermediate care facilities for individuals with intellectual disabilities.

Investing in Rural America Act of 2025This bill allows Farm Credit System (FCS) institutions to make and participate in loans and commitments (and extend other technical and financial assistance) for essential community facility projects as part of the Department of Agriculture's Community Facilities Direct Loan & Grant Program. This program provides funding to develop essential community facilities in rural areas.The FCS financing and technical assistance may be provided in order to make capital available to develop, build, maintain, improve, or provide related equipment or other support for essential community facilities in rural communities (e.g., certain facilities that provide healthcare, community support, public safety, educational, or utility services).Under the bill, the financing provided by an FCS institution may not exceed 15% of the total of all outstanding loans of the institution. Further, an FCS institution must (1) offer at least one non-FCS lending institution an interest in the financing under reasonable terms and conditions acceptable to the borrower, and (2) report the offer to the Farm Credit Administration (FCA).The FCA must submit an annual report to Congress on the activities undertaken by FCS institutions under this bill, including through the partnerships between FCS institutions and other lending institutions. The FCA must post the report on the administration's website.

This resolution sets up the rules for House consideration of H.R. 77, a bill that would allow Congress to package together and vote on multiple "midnight rules" in a single disapproval resolution. Midnight rules are regulations that federal agencies typically rush to finalize during the transition period between presidential administrations. The resolution waives all procedural objections to considering the bill and limits debate to one hour, split equally between the majority and minority parties, with the Judiciary Committee controlling the debate time. If adopted, this procedural rule would streamline the process for the House to vote on H.R. 77, which aims to make it easier for Congress to overturn last-minute federal regulations enacted by outgoing administrations.

Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2025This bill restricts federal funding for Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc. or any of its affiliates or clinics for one year.Specifically, it prohibits providing federal funding to those entities unless they certify that the affiliates and clinics will not perform, and will not provide funds to entities that perform, abortions during that year. If the certification requirement is not met, the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture must recoup any federal assistance received by those entities.However, the bill's funding restriction does not apply to abortions performed in cases of rape or incest or when necessary to resolve a physical condition that endangers a woman's life.The bill also provides additional funding for community health centers for the one-year period. These funds are subject to the same abortion-related restrictions and exceptions.

Protecting Life and Taxpayers Act of 2025This bill requires entities receiving federal funds to certify that they will not, subject to certain exceptions, perform abortions or provide funding to other entities that perform abortions.The bill provides exceptions for abortions performed in cases of rape or incest or when necessary to resolve a physical condition that endangers a woman's life.

This concurrent resolution authorizes Congress to assemble at a place outside Washington, DC, during the 119th Congress if the Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader agree that it is in the public interest. The concurrent resolution provides that the Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader shall act jointly after consultation with the House and Senate Minority Leaders.
