The No TSA Data for ICE Act would prohibit the Department of Homeland Security from sharing Transportation Security Administration data with U.S. Customs and Border Protection or U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, whether directly or through intermediary applications. The bill would also prevent DHS from denying, suspending, or terminating people's enrollment in trusted traveler programs like TSA PreCheck, Global Entry, NEXUS, and others based on their protected First Amendment activities such as political protest or speech. The legislation applies to all TSA information and passenger data obtained from private data brokers that contains personal identifying information. The bill was introduced in August 2026 with broad bipartisan support among Democratic House members and was referred to the House Committees on Homeland Security, Judiciary, and Ways and Means. No specific funding or implementation timeline is included in the legislation.

This bill prohibits the construction and operation of artificial intelligence data centers on all federal lands, including those managed by the Department of Defense, while explicitly excluding tribal lands. Any federal agency currently operating, leasing, or constructing an AI data center must cease operations and begin removing the facility and its associated infrastructure within 30 days of the law's enactment. The bill defines AI data centers broadly to include facilities with over 20 megawatts of power capacity or those using advanced cooling systems, along with all supporting infrastructure like power lines and water pipelines. The removal process must comply with environmental cleanup standards under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, ensuring sites are properly remediated after the data centers are demolished or deconstructed. The legislation does not authorize specific funding and establishes an immediate 30-day deadline for agencies to begin the removal process.

The FAIR Credit Act amends federal credit reporting laws to protect consumers from predatory lending, identity theft, and fraud by making several key changes to how credit information is handled and reported. The bill removes medical debt from credit reports, extends fraud alert protections from one year to seven years and strengthens security freezes, and prohibits credit reporting agencies from including negative information resulting from unfair or illegal conduct by financial institutions when originating or servicing residential mortgages. The legislation also strengthens protections for vulnerable populations including domestic abuse survivors, identity theft victims, and children whose clean credit histories make them targets for theft that often goes undetected for years. These protections take effect at varying timelines, with mortgage-related provisions taking effect 18 months after enactment, while the bill establishes updated definitions of medical debt and clarifies regulatory oversight to include credit scoring developers and loan servicers alongside traditional credit reporting agencies.

The Bank Failure Accountability Act requires large financial institutions with over $1 billion in assets to defer at least 50 percent of compensation for senior employees when their pay exceeds seven times the median employee's salary at the institution. These deferred funds must be held in a separate account and used first to pay any civil or criminal fines levied against the institution, or in the case of bank failures, to reimburse depositors before drawing on federal insurance funds. The length of time compensation is deferred varies by institution size, ranging from 2 to 8 years, and any deferred compensation that cannot be repaid due to insufficient funds in the deferment account is permanently canceled. The bill applies to banks, credit unions, investment firms, broker-dealers, and mortgage companies, with enforcement and rule-making authority delegated to federal banking regulators and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Find Our Families Act of 2026 requires the Department of Homeland Security to create and maintain a public online system where families can locate people detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The system must be searchable by alien registration number, name, or date and country of birth, available in English, Spanish, Haitian Creole, and other commonly spoken languages, and updated within 8 hours of detention or transfer. The bill affects detained immigrants and their families by providing access to basic information about where detainees are held and how to contact facilities, while also requiring notification to family members within 5 hours when detainees are transferred for medical care. The legislation establishes penalties for employees who fail to comply, including potential furlough or suspension, and prohibits contract renewal with facilities that provide inaccurate or late information. Additionally, the bill requires the government to publicly report information about CBP arrests and submit detailed reports every 90 days to Congress on enforcement operations, including numbers of arrests with and without warrants and operational costs.

This concurrent resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities in Lebanon within seven days of the resolution's adoption.The resolution specifies that it shall not be construed to prevent or limit security cooperation with the Lebanese Armed Forces or the protection of diplomatic facilities.

H. Res. 1319 is a resolution expressing the House's support for ending child poverty in the United States through increased federal investments and policy changes. The resolution documents that child poverty has surged dramatically, rising from 3.8 million children in 2021 to over 9.7 million in 2024, with the poorest children facing the deepest hardship. The resolution highlights that federal programs providing assistance reach only a fraction of eligible families and that children of color experience poverty at roughly triple the rate of white children. Rather than creating a specific program, the resolution calls for the House to support making the 2021 Child Tax Credit expansion permanent, increasing overall federal spending on children, expanding access to affordable childcare and early education, guaranteeing equitable public education from pre-K through 12th grade, and establishing a national target for child poverty reduction. The resolution urges Congress and states to prioritize children in the federal budget and eliminate barriers that prevent immigrant families and families in Puerto Rico from accessing assistance programs.

This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' position on the Palestinian experience, specifically commemorating the Nakba, the Arabic term for the displacement of Palestinians during and after Israel's 1948 establishment as a state. The resolution documents historical events from 1947 through 1949 when it states approximately 750,000 Palestinians were displaced from their homes, and argues this displacement continues today through Israeli settlement expansion and military actions. The resolution calls for U.S. policy changes, including official recognition of the Nakba, support for Palestinian refugee rights under international law, resumption of U.S. funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, and restrictions on U.S. weapons transfers to Israel for activities the resolution characterizes as ethnic cleansing. The resolution does not authorize any funding or establish specific timelines, but rather serves as a non-binding statement of congressional sentiment regarding U.S. policy toward Israel and Palestinian refugees.

This resolution designates the week of May 3-9, 2026, as "National Postpartum Awareness Week for Communities of Color" to highlight serious disparities in maternal health outcomes. The resolution points out that the United States has the highest maternal mortality rate among high-income nations, with Black women and Native American women experiencing three to four times higher death rates than White women, with more than two-thirds of these deaths occurring during the postpartum period. The resolution emphasizes that most pregnancy-related deaths are preventable through early warning sign recognition and access to quality care, yet communities of color face significant barriers to receiving adequate postpartum support and often experience discrimination in maternity care settings. The resolution calls on the House to recognize these challenges, support efforts to eliminate racial disparities in maternal health, and promote access to respectful and culturally appropriate postpartum care and mental health services. No new funding or specific implementation timeline is authorized by this resolution, as it is a symbolic measure intended to raise awareness about postpartum health disparities affecting communities of color.

This bill, called the "Make DTE Pay Act," amends the Clean Air Act to increase penalties for investor-owned electric and gas utilities that violate air pollution rules. Specifically, if a utility that owns a polluting facility raises its rates either in the two years before or after receiving an air quality penalty, the penalty amount would be doubled for each rate increase—meaning utilities could face substantially higher fines if they pursue rate increases around the time of their violations. The bill affects investor-owned utilities (not municipal or cooperative utilities) and applies to any rate increase they receive or seek during this four-year window, including increases that are still pending before regulatory authorities. The measure provides no specific funding allocation, as it creates a penalty enhancement mechanism rather than a new spending program. This legislation was introduced in May 2026 and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

H.Res. 1249, the Unhoused Persons Bill of Rights, is a resolution expressing that the United States should end homelessness by 2029 and establish comprehensive legal protections for unhoused individuals. The bill identifies that approximately 771,400 people are currently unhoused, with disproportionate impacts on Black, Brown, Indigenous, LGBTQ+, and disabled communities, and attributes homelessness to factors including poverty, stagnant wages, and a shortage of affordable housing. The resolution proposes that unhoused people should have access to 19 fundamental rights including housing, healthcare, public facilities, employment, and education without discrimination, along with legal protections against harassment by law enforcement and private discrimination. The bill also directs the Departments of Justice, Housing and Urban Development, and Health and Human Services to work with community advocates to develop guidelines for decriminalizing homelessness and provide a report to Congress within six months. The resolution has been referred to six congressional committees and frames ending homelessness as a cost-effective solution, noting that adequate housing voucher funding would cost less than 20 percent of the defense budget compared to the current $30,000 to $50,000 annual taxpayer cost per unhoused individual.

This joint resolution would reject a decision by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection to withdraw its 2022 guidance on medical debt collection and consumer reporting requirements. The original 2022 bulletin established consumer protections related to surprise medical bills under the No Surprises Act, and the bureau attempted to withdraw that protection in May 2025. If passed, this resolution would block the withdrawal and keep the 2022 consumer protections in place, preventing debt collectors from using certain practices related to medical debts and their reporting to credit agencies. The resolution affects consumers with medical debt and the debt collection industry. No funding or specific implementation timeline is specified in the legislation, as it simply prevents a regulatory change rather than creating new programs.

H.R. 8494 would prohibit the Department of Homeland Security from creating, operating, or contracting for new immigration detention facilities, including warehouses, modular units, tent systems, and processing centers. The bill blocks DHS from entering into or renewing any contracts or agreements related to these detention models and prevents the use of federal funds—both current and future—to establish, construct, or operate such facilities. According to the bill's findings, DHS had announced plans to spend approximately $38.3 billion on acquiring and retrofitting warehouses into large-scale immigration detention centers. Any funds currently obligated for these new detention models would be redirected toward affordable health care and housing services. The prohibition takes effect immediately upon enactment if the bill becomes law.

This resolution expresses House support for recognizing April as National Arab American Heritage Month and celebrates the contributions of Arab Americans to the United States. The resolution highlights that approximately 3.7 million Arab Americans live in the country and have made significant contributions to American society across fields including science, business, entertainment, literature, civil service, and social justice movements. The resolution notes that 47 states and the District of Columbia have already recognized April as Arab American Heritage Month, with some states passing permanent legislation, and that numerous cities and counties have also adopted the recognition. The measure aims to address misconceptions and anti-Arab discrimination while promoting public education about Arab American culture and achievements. No funding or specific timeline is required, as this is a symbolic resolution expressing congressional support rather than legislation that creates new programs or mandates.

H.R. 8254, the Water Access and Affordability Act, establishes a federal low-income water assistance program administered by the EPA to help millions of Americans who cannot afford their water bills. The program requires water systems nationwide to provide eligible low-income households with bill discounts, debt relief, and efficiency upgrades without asset tests or citizenship requirements, while prohibiting water disconnections and waiving late fees for participating households. The bill authorizes $20 billion annually from 2027 through 2037, with funds distributed to states and water systems based on the number of low-income households served and local water costs and infrastructure needs. The legislation also strengthens transparency and support for disadvantaged communities by requiring states to conduct public review processes for water infrastructure spending decisions and maintain centralized data on how funds are distributed. Implementation begins within 12 months, with community advisory committees overseeing the program in each EPA region.

This concurrent resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from Lebanon within seven days of the resolution's adoption.

This House resolution expresses support for Lebanon and condemns what it characterizes as Israeli military actions in the country. The resolution documents claims of widespread destruction, civilian casualties, and forced displacement resulting from what it describes as an Israeli invasion beginning in March 2026, and alleges that Israeli officials have publicly stated intentions to occupy and annex Lebanese territory. The resolution calls on the U.S. government to use its influence to force an Israeli military withdrawal from Lebanon, end all U.S. participation in hostilities there, stop transferring weapons and military support to Israel, investigate alleged war crimes, provide humanitarian aid to Lebanese civilians, and extend Temporary Protected Status for Lebanese nationals in the United States. The resolution is a statement of congressional sentiment rather than binding law and was referred to the House Foreign Affairs and Judiciary Committees for consideration.

This concurrent resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities in Lebanon within seven days of the resolution's adoption, unless a declaration of war or authorization to use the U.S. Armed Forces for such purpose has been enacted.

This bill, named after Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, reforms how the government can prosecute people under the Espionage Act. The legislation increases the legal burden of proof prosecutors must meet by requiring them to prove that defendants acted with "specific intent" to harm the United States or help a foreign nation, rather than the current lower standard of simply having "reason to believe" such harm might occur. The bill primarily affects current and former government employees who have signed nondisclosure agreements and had access to classified information, as well as journalists and others who receive such information from them. It creates a legal defense for people charged with disclosing classified information if they did so to expose government violations of law, constitutional breaches, gross mismanagement, waste of funds, abuse of authority, or serious dangers to public safety. The bill does not include specific funding amounts or implementation timelines.

The Medicines for the People Act establishes a new National Institute for Biomedical Research and Development within the National Institutes of Health to develop affordable drugs, devices, and biologics through full-cycle research from early development to FDA approval. The Institute would conduct research using NIH labs and private contractors, with the federal government owning all patents and intellectual property, which would be licensed to nonprofits and public entities at reduced or no cost, while for-profit companies face cost-plus pricing restrictions. The bill mandates strict transparency, requiring researchers to publicly share all clinical trial data, safety information, and cost details within one year of publication in accessible repositories. Oversight would come from a 15-member governing board including patient advocates and public health officials while excluding pharmaceutical industry leaders and lobbyists, and the bill authorizes $90 billion in funding through fiscal year 2027 with annual evaluations measuring drug approvals, clinical trials, patents, and cost savings.

The Head Start for America's Children Act substantially expands and improves early childhood education services by authorizing $144.9 billion in federal funding for fiscal year 2026 and beyond, plus $8.2 billion in dedicated grants through 2030 for facility improvements, transportation, and workforce development. The bill broadens program eligibility to serve infants, toddlers, and children from families up to 60% of state median income, while explicitly including children experiencing homelessness, foster care, and disability, and adds mental health services as a core program requirement. It mandates year-round operations beginning in September 2027, raises staff compensation to at least $60,000 annually (or local teacher wage parity), strengthens support for Native American and Native Hawaiian communities with culturally tailored services, and creates new pilot programs for on-campus Head Start services at colleges and partnerships with child care providers to expand access and coordination. The bill also establishes new oversight requirements, including annual reporting to Congress on discipline practices and program demographics, while modernizing language throughout to better reflect current terminology and expand support for English language learners and children with disabilities.

H.Res. 1038 is a non-binding resolution expressing the House's commitment to defending the Fourteenth Amendment, which guarantees birthright citizenship, due process, and equal protection under the law. The resolution, sponsored by Representative Tlaib and a bipartisan group of colleagues, calls on Congress and all branches of government to reject any efforts to weaken or undermine these constitutional protections, specifically citing concerns about proposals to restrict birthright citizenship, limit voting access, and erode due process rights for immigrants. The resolution emphasizes that these protections are fundamental to American democracy and apply to all people regardless of background or political affiliation. As a sense-of-the-House resolution, it does not create new law or require funding, but rather serves as a statement of congressional position urging elected officials at all government levels to actively defend the Fourteenth Amendment's core guarantees. The measure was introduced on February 4, 2026, and referred to the House Judiciary Committee.

H.Res. 1028 is a congressional resolution expressing the House's view that the federal government must urgently address the political and economic power of billionaire oligarchs. The resolution argues that wealthy individuals and corporations have corrupted U.S. democracy through campaign contributions and lobbying, citing examples like fossil fuel and tech industry spending in the 2024 election cycle, and contends that this concentration of wealth has led to stagnant wages and unaffordable basic needs for working Americans. The resolution calls for nine specific actions, including breaking up monopolies (especially in media, finance, and technology), increasing taxes on corporations and the wealthy, enacting a wealth tax, publicly financing elections, expanding unions, and redirecting public funds toward universal health care, affordable housing, education, and climate initiatives. This is a sense-of-the-House resolution, meaning it expresses the chamber's position without requiring budget allocations or creating a specific implementation timeline, though it urges the President and Congress to act "with all deliberate speed" on these priorities.

The Stop Body Camera Paywalls Act would prohibit states and local governments from charging the public to access police body camera footage, dash camera recordings, jail surveillance video, and other law enforcement camera recordings. To receive federal funding through two major grant programs—the Byrne Justice Assistance Grants and the COPS grant program—states and local governments would be required to certify that they do not impose any fees or financial costs on the public seeking to view or obtain copies of this footage, including court-related fees. This means that any jurisdiction currently using these federal grants would lose their funding eligibility if they continue charging for access to law enforcement camera videos. The legislation directly affects police departments, sheriffs' offices, and other law enforcement agencies that receive these federal grants, as well as the public, which would gain free access to these recordings. By tying federal grant money to this requirement, the bill aims to ensure transparency in law enforcement across the country without financial barriers to the public.

This bill formally includes Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) populations—such as Lebanese, Iranian, Egyptian, Moroccan, and Kurdish individuals—in the federal government's official definition of racial and ethnic minority groups for health purposes. Currently, MENA individuals are excluded from this definition, which prevents them from accessing health programs and resources specifically designed to address disparities in underserved communities. The legislation directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct a comprehensive study examining health patterns, outcomes, and disparities among MENA populations, including data on chronic diseases, disabilities, maternal health, and social determinants of health like income and language access. The bill requires an interim report within two years and a final report within four years, along with establishment of a public online database sharing the study results. The bill authorizes necessary funding for the study and includes strict privacy protections to safeguard individuals' personal information, with criminal penalties for unauthorized disclosure of health data.
