This bill creates a new Chief Resilience Officer position within the National Security Council to lead federal efforts in building national resilience against natural hazards and climate-related threats to national security. The officer will oversee a 24-member Partners Council including state, local, tribal, and private sector representatives, and must develop a comprehensive National Resilience Strategy within two years that identifies vulnerabilities, funding gaps, and recommendations for supporting communities—particularly rural and underresourced areas—in adapting to environmental threats. The strategy will include agency implementation plans, public comment periods, and an information clearinghouse to share resilience data and technical assistance with state, local, tribal, and private partners. The Comptroller General will assess implementation progress every two years, and these requirements will automatically expire after 10 years or upon completion of the third assessment report, whichever comes first.

The SECURE 340B Act strengthens oversight of the federal 340B drug discount program, which allows certain hospitals and health centers to purchase medications at reduced prices for low-income patients. The bill establishes stricter eligibility rules requiring patients to have received care from participating facilities within 24 months and prescribers to be employed by or contracted with those facilities, while creating new enforcement mechanisms including penalties for entities exceeding 35% of referral prescriptions annually. It imposes detailed requirements on contract pharmacies, subsidiary locations ("child sites"), and manufacturers, mandates transparent financial assistance policies and medical debt restrictions for participating hospitals, and creates a federal data clearinghouse to prevent duplicate discounts and improve program integrity. The bill also requires participating entities to report detailed annual data on patients served and drug savings to the Department of Health and Human Services for public disclosure, while prohibiting health plans and pharmacy benefit managers from discriminating against 340B participants. Most provisions take effect immediately upon enactment, with the Secretary required to issue implementing regulations within 180 days and covered entities given a minimum 180-day transition period to comply.

H.R. 9564, the Military Housing Innovation Act, requires the Comptroller General to conduct a comprehensive study on whether the Defense Department should allow "point-access block design" in military housing construction projects. Point-access block design refers to residential buildings up to six stories tall where a single internal stairway provides access to all units, a construction method that could potentially reduce building costs and increase affordable housing options near military installations. The study, due within 18 months and conducted in coordination with the Department of Defense, Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, will examine how adopting this design approach would affect construction costs, housing quality and availability, fire safety outcomes, and the rental housing market around military bases. The Comptroller General will deliver a final report within two years that includes recommendations on whether the Defense Department should update its building codes to allow this construction method for military family housing and unaccompanied housing projects. The legislation aims to explore ways to improve the affordability and feasibility of building new military housing while maintaining safety standards.

This resolution supports the designation of National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Month and National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Day.The resolution supports (1) the education of members of the Armed Forces, veterans, their families, and the public about post-traumatic stress; and (2) efforts by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense to foster cultural change around the issue of post-traumatic stress.The resolution also encourages the leadership of the Armed Forces to support treatment of members of the Armed Forces who suffer from post-traumatic stress.

This resolution expresses congressional support for designating the week of May 3-9, 2026, as "Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness Week." Tardive dyskinesia is an involuntary movement disorder that can develop in people taking certain medications used to treat mental health conditions like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, as well as gastrointestinal disorders. The resolution notes that approximately 600,000 Americans have the condition, with about 60 percent remaining undiagnosed, and that regular screening by healthcare providers is recommended. The resolution encourages public awareness and education about tardive dyskinesia symptoms and available FDA-approved treatments. This is a symbolic measure with no direct funding or binding requirements; it simply expresses the House's support for raising awareness about this medical condition.

The CERTAIN Act streamlines the federal authorization process for projects by establishing strict timelines and procedural requirements for agency decisions. Federal agencies must document application receipt within 14 days, determine completeness within 30 days, and applications are automatically deemed complete if agencies fail to properly document deficiencies; agencies must also notify applicants within 30 days whether environmental reviews are required and provide written explanations for any denials. The bill designates a lead agency to coordinate environmental reviews with other "participating agencies," requiring a single environmental document within 90 days and concurrent agency reviews where possible. For permit decisions, routine authorizations must be approved within 30 days and complex authorizations within 6 months to 2 years depending on environmental review requirements, with automatic approval or immediate public notification if deadlines are missed. The legislation also provides expedited judicial review with 90-day court decision timelines and presumes agency actions unlawfully delayed if statutory deadlines are exceeded, allowing courts to compel corrective agency action.

H.R. 7844 would allow the Department of Homeland Security Secretary to move unspent funds between departmental accounts during a government shutdown, but with significant restrictions. The bill applies specifically to unused funds from the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" and money allocated to immigration enforcement and border protection agencies. However, the Secretary cannot transfer funds into the Office of the Secretary, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or Customs and Border Protection, and cannot use transferred money to hire new employees. The legislation was introduced in March 2026 and referred to the House Committees on Homeland Security, Judiciary, and Ways and Means. This would give the DHS Secretary limited flexibility to keep operations running during appropriations lapses while preventing transfers to certain sensitive offices and restricting new hiring.

The DROUGHT Act of 2026 increases federal financial support for water infrastructure projects in drought-affected areas. The bill amends existing water financing law to allow the federal government to fund up to 90 percent of project costs (previously lower limits) for water projects located in states experiencing severe drought conditions for at least four weeks in the past five years, or in counties where the governor has declared a drought emergency. Projects must also either serve low-income communities where household income is at or below 200 percent of the poverty line, or be designated as regionally or nationally significant because they improve drinking water supply, enhance water reuse, reduce water usage, lower costs to consumers, or provide substantial public health benefits. The legislation, introduced in March 2026 by a group of House members primarily from western states, directs federal agencies to prioritize financing for these drought-affected water projects but does not specify new funding amounts or implementation deadlines.

H.R. 7472 would remove a restriction that currently prevents veterans from receiving assistance simultaneously from two major VA programs: the Veteran Readiness and Employment program (which helps disabled veterans prepare for work) and VA educational assistance programs (such as the GI Bill). The bill would strike subsection (b) of Section 3695 of title 38, U.S. Code, which currently imposes this limitation. The legislation would directly benefit veterans seeking to combine career training and educational benefits to advance their employment prospects. No specific funding amounts or implementation timelines are outlined in the bill text.

The Genomic Answers for Children's Health Act of 2026 requires Medicaid to cover whole genome and whole exome sequencing tests for children suspected of having genetic disorders, rare diseases, or conditions of unknown origin, including congenital anomalies, developmental delays, and intellectual disabilities. The bill ensures that these genetic tests are paid for separately and are not bundled with other medical services, and requires that qualified healthcare providers can order them as first-line diagnostic tools. The legislation also directs the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct outreach to medical professionals, hospitals, and families to increase awareness of this coverage, and requires two government reports within two years to assess implementation, identify barriers to access like prior authorization delays, and make recommendations for improvement. The new coverage requirements take effect on January 1, 2027.

The Temporary Family Visitation Act creates a new temporary visa category allowing foreign relatives of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to visit the United States for family purposes, such as attending major life events, religious occasions, or social visits. To qualify, relatives must obtain a sponsor's financial support declaration, purchase short-term travel medical insurance, and sign a statement affirming their intention to leave the U.S. within 90 days per calendar year. Sponsors who have previously had relatives overstay their visas are barred from petitioning unless they can explain extraordinary circumstances, and false certifications carry criminal penalties under federal law. The bill also allows people awaiting permanent visas to use this temporary family visa category while they wait for their applications to be processed, though this temporary admission won't count toward permanent residency requirements.

This bill establishes new rules for how federal immigration enforcement officers can use force and conduct operations. It requires officers to use de-escalation tactics before resorting to force, limits their ability to wear masks or hide their identity without supervisor approval, and bans certain equipment like tear gas and rubber bullets except in specific circumstances involving national security threats or arrests at borders. The bill mandates that all immigration enforcement personnel wear body cameras and vehicle dash cameras by 180 days after enactment, with footage retained for at least one year (or three years if force was used). Federal agents must also receive annual training on constitutional protections, proper use of force, and the duty to intervene if they witness colleagues using excessive force. Additionally, the bill requires immigration enforcement to notify local police before operations and creates reporting requirements for Congress on force incidents, assaults against agents, and false impersonations. The bill affects Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal immigration agencies, along with individuals subject to immigration enforcement operations.

The Saving for the Future Act creates a new universal retirement savings program called UP Accounts, requiring employers with 10 or more employees to contribute to retirement accounts for workers without employer pension plans, starting with $0.50 per hour worked and increasing over time. The bill establishes two types of accounts—UP Retirement Accounts with diversified, low-fee investment options and automatic risk reduction near retirement, and UP Savings Accounts for short-term needs capped at $2,500 (growing $100 annually)—while automatically enrolling employees at 4% contributions with annual increases up to 10%. To fund the program and support Social Security, the legislation increases the top individual income tax rate from 37% to 39.6% and the corporate tax rate from 21% to 23%, and creates a new 50% tax credit for individuals contributing to retirement accounts, with lost revenue directed to Social Security trust funds. The bill also provides expanded tax credits to incentivize small employers to establish pension plans and make minimum retirement contributions.

No Budget, No Pay ActThis bill prohibits Members of Congress from being paid in a fiscal year until both chambers approve the budget resolution and pass all regular appropriations bills for that fiscal year. Retroactive pay is prohibited for such a period.

This bill streamlines the federal permitting process for high-voltage electric transmission lines deemed necessary in the national interest. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) would be authorized to issue permits for new or upgraded transmission facilities if they reduce congestion, improve reliability, enhance energy independence, and are consistent with the public interest—while maintaining a minimum 60-day public comment period and consultation with affected states, tribes, and landowners. The legislation modifies cost allocation rules to ensure that only customers who benefit from new transmission infrastructure bear the costs, with protections for those receiving trivial or no benefits. FERC would serve as the lead agency coordinating federal authorizations, with the Department of Interior taking the lead role for facilities on the Outer Continental Shelf. The bill exempts ERCOT (the Texas grid operator) from these provisions and includes a deadline of 18 months for the Department of Energy to issue rules implementing the changes.

The Faith in Housing Act of 2025 allows religious organizations to build affordable housing on their property while overriding most state and local zoning laws that would normally prevent such construction. Religious institutions that own land can notify local zoning authorities of their intent to build housing that meets federal affordability standards—keeping units affordable for 30 years and accessible to residents earning up to 140 percent of area median income—and proceed with construction as long as the housing involves interstate commerce or federal assistance. The bill applies only when religious organizations formally notify local authorities of their election to use these federal protections, and it preserves state and local authority to enforce building codes, conduct inspections, and maintain rules specifically designed to prevent site-specific hazards like flooding or wildfires. The legislation also allows affected parties to sue in federal court for violations and recover attorneys' fees. Congress bases this action on findings that housing shortages and rising costs contribute to homelessness and that religious organizations' charitable efforts to address these problems are unnecessarily blocked by local land use regulations.

The Fair Housing Improvement Act of 2025 expands federal housing discrimination protections by adding three new categories: source of income, veteran status, and military status. The bill amends the Fair Housing Act to prohibit landlords and housing providers from discriminating against renters or buyers based on whether they receive housing vouchers, government assistance, Social Security benefits, child support, or other lawful income sources, as well as discrimination against current or former military members. The legislation affects millions of Americans relying on housing assistance, veterans, and active-duty military personnel seeking housing. The bill provides a 40-month implementation period for state and local agencies to meet new certification requirements, with possible extensions of up to six months in exceptional circumstances. No specific federal funding is allocated in the bill; it primarily creates legal protections by strengthening existing fair housing laws and enforcement mechanisms.

The National Security Climate Intelligence Act of 2025 requires the Director of National Intelligence to produce comprehensive reports assessing how climate change affects U.S. national security and economic security. The intelligence community must complete its first assessment within four years of the bill's enactment and then update it at least every six years thereafter. These assessments will be submitted to congressional intelligence committees and may be classified, though they must include unclassified summaries for public review. The bill essentially mandates that U.S. intelligence agencies systematically analyze climate-related security threats—such as geopolitical instability, resource conflicts, or infrastructure vulnerabilities—as part of their regular intelligence operations. No new funding is specified in the legislation; rather, it integrates climate security analysis into existing intelligence community responsibilities under the National Security Act of 1947.

This bill puts into immediate effect a federal safety rule on gas pipeline leak detection and repair that was finalized by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration on January 17, 2025. The rule applies to natural gas pipeline operators across the country and establishes requirements for detecting and fixing leaks to improve pipeline safety and reduce methane emissions. By passing this legislation, Congress overrides any legal delays and makes the rule effective as soon as the bill is signed into law. The bill does allow federal regulators to issue stricter standards in the future if needed, but locks in the current safety requirements without waiting for any ongoing legal challenges. No specific funding amounts or timelines beyond immediate enactment are included in the legislation.

This bill amends federal transit funding rules to encourage states and local governments to remove barriers to housing construction near public transportation. Specifically, it allows transit projects to receive bonus points in federal grant competitions if the surrounding areas adopt "pro-housing policies"—such as eliminating parking requirements, reducing lot size restrictions, streamlining approval processes for apartment buildings, or committing public land to affordable housing development. The bill affects state and local transportation agencies seeking federal capital grants for transit projects, as well as housing developers and residents in transit-accessible areas. The Department of Transportation and Housing and Urban Development will work together to evaluate how effectively these housing policies translate into actual affordable housing units near transit lines. The legislation creates an incentive structure designed to increase housing supply, particularly affordable housing, in areas with good public transportation access.

This resolution supports the designation of National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Month and National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Day.The resolution supports (1) the education of members of the Armed Forces, veterans, their families, and the public about post-traumatic stress; and (2) efforts by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense to foster cultural change around the issue of post-traumatic stress.The resolution also encourages the leadership of the Armed Forces to support treatment of members of the Armed Forces who suffer from post-traumatic stress.

The Preserving Great Americans' Legacies Act of 2025 prevents the Secretary of the Navy from renaming any naval vessels currently named after eight civil rights and social justice figures: Cesar Chavez, Medgar Evers, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Dolores Huerta, Thurgood Marshall, Harvey Milk, Lucy Stone, and Harriet Tubman. The bill overrides existing Navy authority to change ship names and effectively locks in the current names of vessels bearing these individuals' names. The legislation does not involve new funding or establish a timeline for implementation, but rather imposes a permanent restriction on future Navy naming decisions. This bill was introduced in June 2025 and referred to the House Committee on Armed Services.
