This resolution expresses support for designating August 17 through August 23, 2026, as "Warehouse Worker Recognition Week" to honor the contributions of workers in the logistics and warehousing industry. The resolution highlights that over 1.8 million Americans work in warehousing and storage jobs, often performing physically demanding work in difficult conditions, including extreme heat during summer months. The legislation notes the critical role these workers play in the nation's economy and supply chain, particularly in major logistics hubs like the Inland Empire, which handles goods from the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports that receive 40 percent of the country's imports. The House of Representatives calls for increased awareness of warehouse workers' contributions, acknowledges them as frontline workers, and commits to reducing workplace injuries and supporting their needs. This is a ceremonial resolution with no funding requirements or implementation timelines beyond the designated week in August 2026.

This resolution recognizes August 4, 2026, as National Night Out, an annual event held on the first Tuesday of August where communities across the country come together to strengthen relationships between residents and local law enforcement while promoting public safety. The resolution acknowledges that National Night Out has grown significantly over more than 40 years, now involving over 38 million people in more than 17,000 communities across the United States, including territories and military bases. The resolution encourages law enforcement departments to use the occasion to improve community relationships and to educate the public about how to contact emergency services and understand how police carry out their duties. This is a symbolic measure that does not allocate any funding or establish new programs, but rather celebrates an existing community initiative and calls for continued participation and engagement between law enforcement and the communities they serve.

The Honor Their Service Act would authorize the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide grants to public and nonprofit organizations that offer immigration legal services to noncitizen veterans. These services would include help with removal defense proceedings, naturalization applications, parole requests, discharge upgrade requests, and other immigration matters for veterans who are facing removal, at risk of removal, or have already been removed from the country. The bill affects noncitizen veterans and the organizations serving them, and it directs the VA to establish eligibility criteria within 180 days and ensure services are accessible across all geographic areas, including rural communities and territories. The legislation authorizes twenty million dollars in funding for the program across fiscal years 2027 through 2030. The VA would also be required to submit biennial reports to Congress on the program's effectiveness and the number of veterans assisted.

This resolution designates May 2026 as National Wildfire Preparedness Month to raise awareness about the growing wildfire threat facing the United States. The resolution notes that wildfires have increased significantly in recent years, with 2026 already showing 94 percent more acreage burned compared to the previous ten-year average, and it highlights that over 40 percent of states face above-normal wildfire risk during the summer months. The resolution points out that wildfires cost over three billion dollars annually in federal suppression efforts alone, while human activity causes nearly 85 percent of all wildfires, and smoke exposure poses serious health risks including asthma attacks, heart attacks, and strokes. The House expresses support for promoting educational initiatives and community programs that teach fire prevention and preparedness measures, including home hardening, land management, evacuation planning, and reducing human-caused ignitions. No federal funding is appropriated by this resolution, as it is a symbolic measure designed to encourage awareness and preparedness efforts across federal, state, local, and tribal governments and communities.

This resolution expresses congressional support for designating May 3 through May 9, 2026, as Wildfire Preparedness Week, a national observance aimed at educating the public about fire safety and preparedness. The resolution highlights the growing threat of wildfires, noting that nearly 85 percent are human-caused and that exposure to wildfire smoke poses serious health risks including asthma attacks, heart attacks, and strokes. It emphasizes that firefighters face increased risks of cancer and respiratory diseases from smoke exposure. The resolution calls for support of educational initiatives, evacuation planning, vegetation management, and community resources to help people reduce their vulnerability to wildfires. No specific funding is authorized by this resolution, as it is a statement of support rather than legislation that appropriates money or creates new programs.

The National Parent and Youth Helpline Act directs the Department of Health and Human Services to award a grant to a single nonprofit organization to establish and operate a 24-hour, toll-free helpline serving parents, caregivers, and youth across the country. The helpline would provide emotional support and guidance through phone calls, text messages, and live chats on issues including child abuse prevention, family strengthening, emotional distress, substance abuse, and educational concerns, while also maintaining a website with resources and organizing weekly support groups in communities nationwide. The legislation prioritizes awarding the grant to organizations with existing experience running national parent helplines and evidence-based support groups. The grant would be awarded for up to five years, with Congress authorizing $20 million annually from 2027 through 2032 to fund the program, and the HHS Secretary must report to Congress on the helpline's implementation and effectiveness within three years of the bill's enactment.

This bill directs the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress to establish an oral history program documenting the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack. The program will collect video and audio recordings of personal histories and testimonials from people directly affected by the events, including members of Congress, congressional staff, Capitol Police officers, law enforcement, journalists, and other witnesses, along with written materials such as emails, text messages, and photographs. These recordings and materials will be cataloged and made available to the public through the Library of Congress's National Digital Library and other appropriate platforms. The bill authorizes $500,000 in funding for fiscal year 2027 and allows for additional appropriations in subsequent years, while also permitting the Library of Congress to accept private donations to support the project. The Director must prioritize collecting testimonials from individuals whose accounts are at greatest risk of being lost and from those offering essential perspectives on the events.

This bill creates enhanced criminal penalties for individuals convicted of violent insurrection who have prior insurrection convictions. It defines violent insurrection as unlawfully entering or causing violence at the Capitol, White House, or Supreme Court in response to election results, obstructing election certification proceedings, or damaging federal property during such acts. The bill affects anyone convicted under these provisions with a prior insurrection conviction. Sentencing enhancements range from an additional 4 years imprisonment for general cases, up to 5 years for serious felonies, 10 years for crimes involving violence against government officials or obstruction of proceedings, and potential life sentences with a 15-year minimum for the most serious offenses like treason or seditious conspiracy involving a pattern of anti-democratic conduct. The bill specifies that even presidential pardons cannot erase prior convictions for purposes of applying recidivist enhancements in future cases, and it preserves defendants' rights to appeal both their convictions and sentences.

This bill requires the Congressional Research Service to prepare detailed reports on individuals who were pardoned or had their sentences commuted through a January 2025 presidential proclamation related to the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot. Within 60 days of the bill's passage and then every 180 days thereafter, the reports must be submitted to Congress and made publicly available, tracking whether any of these pardoned individuals have been arrested, charged, or convicted of new crimes, as well as any encounters involving law enforcement use of force. The bill aims to monitor the subsequent criminal activity of those who received clemency related to the Capitol riot, allowing Congress and the public to assess whether these individuals have engaged in additional illegal conduct. The reporting requirement continues indefinitely unless Congress takes further action to modify it.

H.Res. 966 is a ceremonial resolution honoring California State Senator Monique Limón on becoming the first Latina and first mother to serve as President Pro Tempore of the California State Senate, a position she began on November 17, 2025. The resolution recognizes Limón's path from being born to Mexican immigrant parents in Santa Barbara to becoming a first-generation college graduate, 14-year educator, and public servant who has championed legislation on pay equity, medical debt, and child care support. The resolution celebrates her career progression through local school boards, the California Assembly, and the State Senate, where she held leadership roles including committee chair positions and Democratic Caucus Chair. This is a non-binding congressional recognition with no funding or programmatic requirements, and a ceremonial swearing-in celebration is scheduled for January 5, 2026.

The Supporting Blue Envelope Programs Act authorizes the Attorney General to award grants to law enforcement agencies and nonprofit organizations to establish "blue envelope programs" that help people with autism spectrum disorder or developmental, cognitive, sensory, and communication disabilities interact safely with police and first responders. These programs provide training to officers on working with people who have these conditions, distribute items like blue envelopes (containing identification and medical information), car decals, and lanyards to help individuals communicate their needs during police encounters, and educate both community members and people with disabilities on safe interactions. The bill prioritizes grants to programs that are scalable, have community support, involve multiple agencies, and work with disability advocates, while ensuring geographic distribution to rural and tribal communities. Congress will receive progress reports starting one year after the law takes effect and biennially thereafter, and the Director will maintain a public directory of available programs. The legislation authorizes $5 million annually from fiscal years 2027 through 2031 to fund these grants.

The Native American Seeds Act of 2025 directs the Secretary of the Interior to work with Indian tribes and tribal organizations to identify and protect seeds of traditional or cultural significance to Native American communities. Within one year of the bill's enactment, the Secretary must support tribal efforts to preserve these seeds, including helping establish and maintain Native American seed banks and supporting traditional tribal agriculture systems that cultivate these seeds. The legislation includes strong privacy protections, requiring the Secretary to keep confidential any culturally sensitive, proprietary, or confidential information that tribes provide. The bill does not authorize any additional federal funding—instead, it relies on existing appropriations to cover these activities. This legislation affects federally recognized Indian tribes and tribal organizations across the United States that wish to preserve their agricultural heritage and traditional seed varieties.

H.R. 6237, the Repairing Social Security After Trump and DOGE Act, would require the Social Security Commissioner to help individuals who missed applying for Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits between January 2025 and January 2029 due to hardships caused by changes to Social Security operations. The bill defines "undue hardship" broadly to include staffing shortages leading to long wait times, website outages, technical login problems, false death declarations, confusion from misinformation, and other operational disruptions. Beginning within 180 days of January 20, 2029, the Social Security Administration must identify eligible individuals and establish a program for people to report missed applications, with those approved deemed to have applied on the date they experienced the hardship or when they first qualified. The bill also waives certain waiting periods for disability benefits and ensures that any back payments received don't count against eligibility for other federal, state, or local assistance programs. Additionally, the Government Accountability Office must submit a report by July 30, 2029, documenting Social Security changes made during this period and their effects on beneficiaries and customer service.

H.Res. 809 is a congressional resolution expressing support for designating the second Monday in October 2025 as "Indigenous Peoples' Day" to celebrate Native American history, culture, and contributions to the United States. The resolution acknowledges that over 200 municipalities and 17 states already observe this day, and it argues that Indigenous Peoples' Day would provide a more appropriate opportunity to reflect on Native American experiences than Columbus Day, which currently falls on the same date. The resolution honors the thousands of years Indigenous Peoples flourished on these lands before Western contact and recognizes their significant contributions to American knowledge, science, philosophy, arts, and culture. The House of Representatives calls on Americans to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities, and it formally supports making Indigenous Peoples' Day a federal holiday. This is a symbolic resolution with no direct funding or implementation requirements, though it represents congressional intent to recognize and honor Native American heritage.

H.Con.Res. 54 is a symbolic resolution expressing congressional support for designating the first Friday of October as "Manufacturing Day" to celebrate the manufacturing sector's contributions to the American economy and workforce. The resolution highlights that manufacturers currently contribute nearly $2.9 trillion to the economy (11 percent of GDP), employ nearly 13 million people directly, and support millions more jobs through supply chains and related industries. The bill emphasizes that manufacturers are major drivers of innovation, spending over $372 billion annually on research and development, and notes that skilled manufacturing jobs paying family wages are increasingly available. This resolution carries no funding requirements and is purely symbolic—it does not create any new programs or mandates, but rather seeks to raise awareness about the importance of manufacturing careers, particularly among young people and their families. The measure was introduced in October 2025 and referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Wildfire Grid Resiliency Act This bill requires the Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response of the Department of Energy (DOE) to carry out a Resilience Accelerator Demonstration Program. Under the program, the office must make awards to DOE's National Laboratories for projects that demonstrate innovative technologies to improve the electric grid's resilience to wildfires, such as technologies for monitoring vegetation management or enhancing the safety of first responders who respond to electric grid emergencies.

H.Res. 649 is a resolution expressing congressional support for designating August 17-23, 2025, as "Warehouse Worker Recognition Week" to honor the contributions of logistics and warehouse workers to the U.S. economy. The resolution affects over 1.8 million warehouse and storage workers across the country, particularly those in major distribution hubs like Southern California's Inland Empire, which handles 40 percent of the nation's imports. The resolution acknowledges the challenging working conditions warehouse workers face, including long hours, little rest, and dangerously hot temperatures that can reach 90 degrees Fahrenheit, while highlighting their critical role in supporting supply chains and delivering goods to individuals and communities. This is a symbolic resolution with no direct funding or regulatory requirements—it simply calls on the House to support increased awareness of warehouse workers' contributions, recognize them as essential front-line workers, and commit to reducing workplace injuries and supporting their needs. The resolution was referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.

Pedestrian Hazard, Awareness, and Safety Expansion Act of 2025 or the PHASE Act of 2025This bill directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) to conduct studies and award grants to improve road safety for pedestrians and vulnerable road users.Specifically, the bill directs NIST to transmit to DOT potential solutions to improve and enhance traffic control devices using innovative technologies in order to better equip vehicle operators (including bicycles) and protect pedestrians and vulnerable road users. In addition, DOT must establish a program to provide grants to cities, Indian tribes, and municipalities to implement infrastructure that improves pedestrian safety (e.g., innovative technology for crosswalks, expanded buffer zones, and upgraded highway traffic signals).DOT must also carry out a study on developing physical alternatives to better protect pedestrians and vulnerable road users from traffic incidents.

H.Res. 621 is a symbolic resolution recognizing August 5 as National Night Out, an annual event where communities across the United States gather to build relationships between residents and local law enforcement while promoting public safety. The resolution acknowledges that over 40 years of National Night Out participation has brought together more than 38 million neighbors across 17,000 communities, including those in U.S. territories and military bases, to strengthen community bonds and awareness of public safety issues. The resolution encourages law enforcement departments to use the occasion to improve their relationships with the communities they serve and to inform residents about emergency services and how to contact 911 effectively. This is a non-binding resolution with no fiscal impact or specific funding allocations—it simply expresses the House's recognition and support for the National Night Out initiative as a tool for community building and public safety.

The Multiple Firearm Sales Reporting Modernization Act of 2025 expands federal reporting requirements for gun dealers by requiring them to report all firearm sales of two or more to the same unlicensed buyer within five consecutive business days. Currently, dealers must report only sales of multiple handguns (pistols and revolvers) under this rule, but the bill broadens the requirement to include all types of firearms, such as rifles and shotguns. The legislation affects federal firearms licensees (gun dealers) and aims to help law enforcement track patterns of bulk firearm purchases that could indicate straw purchasing or illegal weapons trafficking. There is no specific funding or timeline mentioned in the bill text beyond the reporting requirement itself, which would go into effect once the law is enacted.

This bill requires sellers and landlords to disclose known asbestos hazards to buyers and renters of residential properties built before 2019. Under the legislation, the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Environmental Protection Agency have two years to create regulations requiring sellers and landlords to inform purchasers or renters of any asbestos present, provide available inspection reports, and allow buyers a 10-day period to conduct their own asbestos risk assessments before finalizing a purchase or lease. All contracts for home sales and leases must include a standardized Asbestos Warning Statement notifying parties of the health risks, including lung disease and mesothelioma. Violations carry significant penalties, including civil fines, treble damages (three times actual damages) to injured buyers or renters, and potential injunctions, with maximum penalties of $10,000 per violation under existing environmental law. The bill does not specify new federal funding but authorizes whatever appropriations are necessary for agencies to implement and enforce the disclosure requirements.

Taxpayer Protection ActThis bill limits the authority of the President (or any other member of the executive branch) to withhold federal funding to certain states. The bill also establishes a fund to provide funding to such states if funding is withheld. Specifically, the bill prohibits the President (or any other member of the executive branch) from (1) imposing a general prohibition on awarding federal funding to a donor state (or any political subdivision, hospital, school, or nonprofit entity in such state); or (2) revoking or suspending such federal funding unless the Government Accountability Office determines the donor state (or any political subdivision, hospital, school, or nonprofit entity in such state) committed fraud, waste, or abuse related to such funding.A donor state is any state in which the state’s taxpayers paid more federal income taxes than the state received in federal funding on average over the three-year period preceding the bill's enactment date.Finally, the bill establishes and provides specified funds to the Donor State Protection Trust Fund to provide funding to donor states in certain circumstances where federal funds are withheld in violation of this bill. (Conditions and limitations apply.)

H.Res. 467 is a symbolic resolution that designates May 2025 as "National Wildfire Preparedness Month" to raise awareness about the escalating wildfire threat facing the United States. The resolution highlights that wildfires have grown significantly more severe and frequent, with recent years showing above-average numbers of fires and burned acreage, and projects that over 60 percent of states will face elevated wildfire risk from May through August 2025. The measure affects all Americans, particularly those in fire-prone regions, firefighters, and vulnerable populations exposed to wildfire smoke, while emphasizing the enormous costs to taxpayers—federal suppression efforts alone exceed $2.5 billion annually. The resolution does not authorize any funding or create new programs; instead, it encourages federal, state, local, and tribal governments, along with communities and organizations, to promote educational initiatives and preventative measures such as home hardening, vegetation management, evacuation planning, and public awareness campaigns. By designating this month, Congress aims to increase preparedness and reduce the human-caused fires that account for nearly 85 percent of all wildfires.

Veterans Skilled Trades Transition ActThis bill requires the Department of Defense (DOD) to submit a report to Congress that builds on data reported in a previous report titled DoD Credentialing Utilization (3-BB02A16) to better assess the effectiveness of DOD credentialing programs for post-military civilian employment.
