This bill, known as the No Deliveries Act, makes birth tourism a federal crime. It targets foreign nationals who knowingly enter the United States with the intention of giving birth while misrepresenting their purpose, when the child's parents are not U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. Violations would carry a prison sentence of at least 10 years if the child is born in the United States, up to a maximum of 25 years. Additionally, federal courts would be required to issue removal orders for any foreign national convicted under this law at the time of sentencing. The legislation amends existing federal law under Title 18 of the U.S. Code.

Amendment sought to strike the $139,575,000 for the Global Environment Facility.

The K-12 AI Literacy and Readiness Act of 2026 amends federal education law to allow schools to use existing education funding for artificial intelligence curriculum and teacher training. The bill permits both states and individual school districts to spend their education funds on teaching students about AI in safe and responsible ways, as well as on professional development to help teachers and school leaders learn how to use and teach AI effectively. This affects all public K-12 schools that receive federal education funding under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. The legislation does not appropriate new funding but rather expands what schools can use their current federal education dollars for, making AI literacy a permissible use of those existing funds.

The Build the Ballroom Act would authorize the President to construct a new ballroom on the White House grounds to accommodate formal events and state dinners for more than 200 people, which the current facility cannot support. Congress argues that the ballroom is necessary for security reasons, citing past assassination attempts and incidents where presidents have had to hold large formal events at off-campus locations that pose greater security risks. The bill would allow the President to approve the project independently and include it as a permanent structure with utilities and furniture, along with removal of any existing structures on the site if needed. The legislation does not specify funding amounts or a construction timeline, leaving those details to the President's discretion. The bill was introduced in April 2026 and referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.

H.R. 8476, the No Antisemitism in Education Act of 2026, requires public school districts and colleges that receive federal funding to address discrimination motivated by antisemitism with the same seriousness as other forms of discrimination already banned under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The bill directs federal agencies and schools to use the definition of antisemitism found in a 2019 executive order, including its specific examples, when investigating or determining whether an incident was driven by antisemitic bias. It applies to discrimination by students, employees, or through an institution's own policies, and can be enforced using the same legal tools already used to enforce Title VI. The bill includes language clarifying that it does not limit First Amendment rights or override state anti-discrimination laws. Lawmakers cite rising antisemitic hate crimes and survey data showing high rates of antisemitism experienced by Jewish students, particularly on college campuses, as the reasoning behind the bill, which was introduced in April 2026 and advanced out of committee in August 2026.

H.R. 7611, introduced in February 2026, would prohibit federal funding to any state or local government that bans residents from owning dogs. The bill applies to all states and local jurisdictions and would cut off federal funds as a penalty for implementing such prohibitions. While the legislation includes nonbinding language expressing Congress's view that dog ownership is an American right, the core provision is a funding restriction mechanism. The bill does not specify an effective date or implementation timeline, nor does it detail which federal funding programs would be affected by the restriction. In practical terms, this would incentivize state and local governments to allow dog ownership or risk losing federal dollars, though the bill does not address how disputes over such bans would be determined or enforced.

The Contract Our Veterans Act of 2026 aims to increase federal contract opportunities for small businesses owned and controlled by veterans. The bill establishes a government-wide goal that at least 5 percent of the total value of federal prime contracts and subcontracts each fiscal year go to veteran-owned small businesses. It allows federal contracting officers to award contracts to veteran-owned businesses through streamlined processes, including sole-source contracts (without competitive bidding) and competitions limited to veteran-owned firms, provided the contracts are priced fairly and offer good value to the government. The legislation also requires federal agencies to track and report on their progress toward these goals across different types of contracts and procurement methods, and it integrates veteran-owned businesses into existing Small Business Administration programs alongside other protected groups such as women-owned and disadvantaged businesses. No specific funding authorization or implementation timeline is specified in the bill text.

The TSP Fiduciary Security Act of 2026 adds national security requirements to the management of the Thrift Savings Fund (TSP), the retirement savings plan for federal employees and military members. The bill requires the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board to prevent TSP investments and voting activities from harming U.S. national security, with presumptions that investments in Chinese military companies and certain sanctioned entities violate this duty. Within one year, the Secretary of Labor—working with the Secretaries of Defense, Homeland Security, and Treasury—must create regulations defining which investments and shareholder votes comply with this new requirement, including standards for blocking investments in entities on restricted lists and preventing votes on proposals that would breach federal contracts or shift defense-critical technology to adversarial countries. The bill also directs the Secretary of Labor to report annually to Congress on TSP compliance reviews and enforcement actions, and prohibits TSP mutual funds from investing in Chinese-based entities. The fiduciary protections against personal liability expire on January 1, 2027, after which the new rules fully take effect.

H.R. 7012, introduced in January 2026, authorizes the President to negotiate with Denmark to annex Greenland and bring it into the United States as a territory, with the eventual goal of statehood. After successfully acquiring Greenland, the President would be required to submit a report to Congress detailing any federal law changes needed to admit it as a state. The bill sets a pathway for Greenland to become a state once it adopts a constitution that Congress determines is republican in form and consistent with the U.S. Constitution. The legislation does not specify funding amounts, timelines, or conditions for negotiations with Denmark. This bill would affect Greenland's residents and Denmark's sovereignty, as well as reshape U.S. territorial boundaries if enacted.

This bill directs the federal government to promote the global export of American artificial intelligence technology, including AI software, computer hardware, and technical standards, to allied countries. The legislation tasks the Commerce Department with establishing industry programs and removing trade barriers to AI exports, while the State Department develops a diplomatic strategy to encourage foreign adoption of U.S.-developed AI systems. The bill requires several reports within 180 days of enactment, including studies on the global impacts of AI deployment, security measures to prevent adversaries from accessing exported U.S. AI technology, and confidence-building standards for foreign purchasers. Additionally, the Commerce Department must create a biennial tracking system for five years that measures the global market share of U.S. AI semiconductors, data centers, and AI models. The underlying goal is to position the United States as the dominant provider of AI technology worldwide while preventing China and other adversaries from accessing these systems.

The No Welfare for Non-Citizens Act would prohibit all noncitizens from receiving federal public benefits, eliminating exceptions that currently allow certain "qualified aliens" (such as refugees, asylees, and some legal permanent residents) limited access to programs. The bill would modify existing 1996 welfare reform law by removing categories that distinguish between different types of immigrants and their benefit eligibility, instead applying a blanket prohibition to all aliens regardless of immigration status. This would affect millions of immigrants in the United States, including legal permanent residents and those in temporary protected status, potentially eliminating their access to programs like Medicaid, food assistance, and other federal safety net benefits. The legislation contains no specific funding provisions or implementation timeline beyond the structural changes to existing law. The bill was introduced on December 18, 2025, and referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Protecting Europe from Antisemitic Crime and Extremism Act or the PEACE ActThis bill requires the Department of State to periodically brief Congress over the next three years on (1) the threat of antisemitism and acts of international terrorism in Europe; and (2) diplomatic engagements with certain governments on transatlantic cooperative efforts to counter antisemitism and acts of international terrorism that may threaten transatlantic stability, the safety and security of U.S. citizens, and institutions abroad.

The No Antisemitism in Education Act requires public schools and colleges that receive federal funding to treat antisemitic discrimination the same way they treat racial discrimination. This applies to discrimination by students or employees, as well as discrimination embedded in school policies. The bill defines antisemitism broadly, including specific examples such as stereotyping Jews, denying Israel's right to exist, applying double standards to Israel, and making false claims about Jewish people controlling institutions or media. The legislation includes safeguards stating it does not restrict First Amendment free speech rights or override state antidiscrimination laws, and it clarifies that legitimate criticism of Israel is not considered antisemitism. Schools that fail to comply with these requirements would risk losing federal funding.

The Protecting Union Representation and Elections Act amends federal labor law to require that union officers be elected by secret ballot directly by union members, rather than allowing alternative methods like elections at union conventions or by representative officers. The bill affects labor unions and their members across the country by changing how union leadership is chosen. The legislation would take effect 18 months after it becomes law, giving unions time to adjust their election procedures to comply with the new requirement. This change aims to ensure greater member participation and transparency in union leadership elections, though unions would need to implement new voting systems to meet the secret ballot requirement.

The ERISA Litigation Reform Act amends federal pension law to make it harder for employees and beneficiaries to sue over certain retirement plan transactions. The bill raises the legal standard that plaintiffs must meet when claiming fiduciaries violated rules about prohibited transactions, requiring them to prove the transactions don't qualify for specific exemptions rather than allowing courts to decide this issue. Additionally, the law automatically pauses discovery (the process where both sides exchange evidence) in ERISA lawsuits while initial legal motions are pending, unless a court determines that specific evidence needs to be preserved immediately. During this pause, parties must still maintain all potentially relevant documents as if they were formally requested. The bill affects current and former employees with retirement plans, plan administrators, and fiduciaries, essentially giving defendants more procedural advantages in litigation over plan management and investment decisions.

This bill would prohibit anyone who holds citizenship in a foreign country from being elected to Congress, regardless of whether they are also a U.S. citizen or national. The legislation directly affects any current or prospective members of the House of Representatives and Senate who maintain dual citizenship with another nation. The bill contains no specific funding requirements or implementation timeline. In effect, it would create an absolute bar to congressional service for dual citizens, going beyond the Constitution's existing eligibility requirements for Congress. The measure was introduced in October 2025 and referred to the House Administration Committee.

The No Shari'a Act would prohibit U.S. courts from enforcing judgments, contracts, or arbitration decisions based on Shari'a (Islamic law) or other foreign legal systems if doing so would violate constitutional rights such as due process, equal protection, or freedom of religion. The bill applies to federal, state, and territorial courts as well as arbitration tribunals, and specifically addresses family law matters including marriage, divorce, child custody, and inheritance. Congress's stated intent is to ensure that only American law governs American courts and to protect vulnerable populations, particularly women and children, from potential coercion or unequal treatment under foreign legal systems. The Attorney General would be tasked with issuing regulations and providing judicial guidance to ensure consistent application across all jurisdictions. The legislation would take effect 180 days after enactment, with no specific funding appropriated in the bill text.

The Judicial Accountability for Irresponsible Leniency Act (JAIL Act) would allow crime victims to sue judges and government entities in federal court if a repeat violent offender causes harm while released on bail before trial. The bill specifically targets defendants who have previous convictions for crimes of violence and are charged with another crime of violence. A key provision removes judicial immunity—a legal protection that normally shields judges from lawsuits—meaning judges could not use that defense in these civil cases. The legislation applies to both federal and state judges and would permit victims or their immediate family members to seek monetary damages. The bill was introduced in September 2025 but does not specify funding amounts or implementation timelines.

The Correct the Count Act would require the Commerce Secretary to conduct a new census that counts only U.S. citizens, rather than the entire population residing in the country as current law requires. The bill would mandate that census questionnaires include a checkbox or similar option allowing respondents to indicate citizenship status for themselves and household members. This legislation would affect the apportionment of House seats and federal funding among states, since census counts determine representation and resource allocation. The bill does not specify funding amounts or timelines beyond requiring the census to begin upon enactment. The change represents a significant departure from the current census methodology, which has counted all residents regardless of citizenship status since the nation's founding, as required by the Constitution and federal law.

The Reinstating Orderly Access for Drivers Act would create a legal defense for drivers accused of injuring or killing people or damaging property with their vehicles if the victims were participating in a riot. Under this bill, a driver could use as a defense the fact that someone injured or killed was a riot participant—either by proving the person was convicted of rioting or by showing through other evidence that they were likely participating in a riot. The law would apply to both criminal prosecutions and civil lawsuits seeking damages. Additionally, if a defendant raises this defense in a civil case, the court would be required to pause the lawsuit while any related criminal case proceeds, unless the court determines a criminal conviction wouldn't actually support the defense. The bill contains no specific funding provisions or implementation timeline beyond its enactment.

The United States-Israel PTSD Collaborative Research Act directs the Secretary of Defense to establish a grant program funding joint research projects between U.S. academic institutions and nonprofits with Israeli research organizations to develop better treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder. The bill responds to significant PTSD rates among U.S. veterans—nearly 29 percent of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and about 20 percent of women veterans—as well as similar challenges faced by Israeli soldiers. U.S. academic institutions and nonprofits are eligible to apply for grants if they partner with Israeli entities on approved research projects addressing PTSD treatment, diagnosis, or prevention. The grant program will operate for seven years from the first award, with the Secretary of Defense coordinating with the Veterans Affairs and State Departments, and must report to Congress on how funds were used and whether projects succeeded. The bill does not specify funding amounts but allows the Secretary to accept private donations to support the program.

This bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to study whether a new Florida Springs National Park should be established in central and north Florida, covering approximately 2,800 square miles that includes the Ocala National Forest, numerous state forests and parks, wildlife management areas, and other natural lands between Jacksonville, Orlando, and Gainesville. The study will evaluate the area's national significance, determine if it's suitable for designation as a National Park, explore alternative preservation options through federal, state, local, or private efforts, and estimate costs for acquisition, development, and operation under each scenario. The Secretary must consult with federal and state agencies, local governments, nonprofits, and the public during the study process. Within three years of receiving funding, the Secretary must submit a report to Congress with findings and recommendations about whether the national park designation is feasible and advisable. The bill does not allocate specific funding amounts but authorizes the study to proceed under existing federal law governing such resource evaluations.

The Stop Unnecessary Expenditures Act (SUE Act) prohibits Congress from using federal funds to pay for Wall Street Journal subscriptions for any congressional office or committee. The bill applies to all members of Congress, including delegates and resident commissioners, and takes effect in fiscal year 2025 going forward. The legislation contains no specific funding allocations or timelines beyond its implementation date, as it is designed to eliminate an existing expenditure rather than create new spending. This measure would affect all congressional offices and committees that currently subscribe to the Wall Street Journal at taxpayer expense.

The Sanctions Lists Harmonization Act requires federal agencies to coordinate more closely when adding individuals or entities to U.S. sanctions lists. When someone is added to one of six major sanctions lists—including Treasury's list of specially designated nationals, the Commerce Department's military end-user list, and the Entity List for export controls—the responsible agency must notify other agencies within 30 days and those agencies must review whether the person or entity should also be added to their own lists within 90 days. The bill affects Treasury, Commerce, and Defense Department officials who manage these different sanctions programs. Within one year of enactment, each agency must report to Congress on their compliance with these notification and review requirements, including details on how many additional entities were added to lists as a result of this new coordination process. The legislation aims to close gaps in sanctions enforcement by ensuring that targeted individuals and entities face consistent restrictions across all relevant federal programs.

H.Res. 556 is a resolution impeaching Senior Judge Charles R. Breyer of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California for abuse of power and high crimes and misdemeanors. According to the resolution, the impeachment centers on allegations that Judge Breyer used his judicial authority to interfere with President Trump's constitutional authority to deploy the National Guard in Los Angeles and required the President to ignore the Constitution by returning control of the National Guard to California's governor. The resolution argues that Judge Breyer's actions represent an abuse of judicial power that jeopardizes national safety and creates a constitutional crisis by prioritizing political gain over judicial impartiality. The resolution was introduced on June 27, 2025, and referred to the House Judiciary Committee. If passed by the House, the impeachment would proceed to the Senate for a trial to determine whether Judge Breyer should be removed from office.
