The Student Loan Refinancing Act of 2026 creates a new federal refinancing program allowing borrowers with federal student loans, including Stafford Loans, PLUS Loans, and consolidation loans, to refinance at new fixed interest rates tied to current loan rates. The Department of Education must begin accepting refinancing applications within 30 days of the bill's enactment, with borrowers able to refinance up to twice within a 10-year period and allowed to change their repayment plans. Refinanced loans become Federal Direct Loans with no origination fees or loan limit restrictions, and borrowers can count payments made on their original loans toward income-based repayment plans and public service loan forgiveness programs. The bill requires the Department of Education and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to conduct a public information campaign to notify eligible borrowers about the refinancing opportunity. This legislation aims to give federal student loan borrowers more flexibility in managing their debt by allowing them to secure potentially better interest rates without losing credit for their prior payments toward forgiveness programs.

The Veterans Affairs Heritage Act of 2026 establishes a new Department of Veterans Affairs History Office to preserve and share the department's historical records, artifacts, and contributions to veterans. The office will be headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, and led by a Chief Historian who reports directly to the Veterans Affairs Secretary, with support from an internal coordination group comprising senior department officials. The office will take over management of the Veterans Legacy Program and Veterans Legacy Memorial from the National Cemetery Administration and assume responsibility for an oral history program previously managed by the Library of Congress. The Secretary must submit a detailed planning report to Congress within 180 days of enactment covering staffing, budget, facility construction, and organizational structure, with annual progress reports required through December 31, 2030, which marks the department's centennial year and a target date for establishing robust public exhibits and outreach activities. The office is also authorized to accept donations, enter partnerships with nonprofit organizations, and lease facilities to generate revenue for its operations, with the eight-year requirement to maintain the office's Dayton location subject to review after that period.

The Health Coverage Tax Credit Reauthorization Act of 2026 extends a federal tax credit that helps certain individuals afford health insurance coverage. Specifically, the bill amends the tax code to continue the health coverage tax credit through December 31, 2029, pushing back the previous expiration date of January 1, 2022. This extension applies to months beginning after December 31, 2021, meaning eligible individuals can claim the credit during tax years 2022 through 2029. The bill primarily affects workers who have lost their jobs, certain trade-displaced workers, and other individuals who qualify for this assistance under current law. The legislation does not specify new funding amounts, as it simply extends an existing tax credit program rather than creating a new appropriation.

The resolution also recognizes the role of Dayton, Ohio, as the site of the peace negotiations and acknowledges the approximately 350,000 Americans of Bosnian descent living in the United States.

The PAPER Act would require banks and credit unions to offer customers the option to receive paper copies of their monthly statements rather than forcing them to use digital-only statements. The bill prohibits these financial institutions from making digital statements a requirement for accessing their services—in other words, customers cannot be required to go paperless to use a bank or credit union's offerings. The legislation applies to all depository institutions and credit unions across the country and covers their consumer account holders. The bill contains no specific funding or implementation timeline beyond the requirement that covered entities must provide this option going forward.

The Historic Preservation Fund Reauthorization Act extends federal funding for historic preservation efforts through 2035 and increases annual appropriations to $250 million, up from the previous $150 million cap.

The legislation modifies the authorization structure in federal law to provide more stable, long-term financial support for preservation projects that might otherwise lack adequate funding. By extending the program's authorization by twelve years and raising the funding ceiling, the bill aims to give preservation organizations better planning certainty while expanding their capacity to undertake larger restoration projects nationwide.
