The Increasing Tribal Input on Nutrition Act of 2026 amends federal food distribution programs to require the U.S. Department of Agriculture to consult with Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations before evaluating contracts for food distribution on reservations and to incorporate their feedback throughout the evaluation process. The bill also addresses supply chain disruptions by requiring the Secretary of Agriculture to designate an emergency warehouse contractor within 45 days if a shortage impedes food distribution, and authorizing direct payments to Tribes to purchase domestically produced foods that meet nutritional standards. The legislation applies to the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations and the Commodity Supplemental Food Program, with the department required to provide annual consultations and technical assistance to ensure state agencies properly engage with Tribal officials on program amendments. Any emergency payments to Tribes cannot exceed the amount the department would normally spend on that Tribe during the same period, protecting the existing funding structure.

The USDA Field Office Stability Act would prohibit the Secretary of Agriculture from closing or relocating county and field offices operated by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Farm Service Agency, Rural Development, and other USDA county service centers. The bill includes two exceptions: offices located within 20 miles of another similar office (unless in a different state) could still be consolidated, and offices may be relocated within the same county as part of routine lease management. The legislation also requires the USDA to maintain minimum staffing levels at these local service centers to ensure they remain open and accessible to the public during regular business hours. This bill would directly affect farmers, rural residents, and agricultural businesses that depend on accessing USDA services at local offices, as well as USDA employees working in these field operations. The legislation includes no specific new funding authorization or implementation timeline.

The Respect Tribal IDs Act requires the Department of Homeland Security to develop and implement comprehensive training for all officers and employees involved in immigration enforcement within 180 days of the law's enactment. The training, developed in collaboration with the Bureau of Indian Affairs and Indian tribes, must cover how to properly interact with Native Americans, identify and accept tribal documents as proof of U.S. citizenship, and understand the federal government's trust responsibility to tribes. All DHS immigration enforcement officers must complete this training annually and whenever assigned to a new region, with the curriculum including scenario-based exercises, a database of tribal document examples, and historical context about Native American citizenship. The bill affects DHS personnel nationwide who enforce immigration laws and benefits Native Americans by ensuring their tribal identification documents are recognized and respected during immigration enforcement encounters. The Secretary of Homeland Security must report on the training program's development to Congress within one year of the law's enactment.

The Truth in National Parks Act requires the National Park Service to ensure that exhibits and educational materials at national parks are historically and culturally accurate. The bill prevents the removal or alteration of accurate interpretive materials unless they are being updated with new accurate information or replaced with new exhibits, and it requires the National Park Service to consult with relevant communities and Indian Tribes before making such changes. Within 180 days of the bill's enactment, the National Park Service must restore any historically accurate materials that were removed, obscured, or altered between January 20, 2025, and the bill's passage. Additionally, the bill directs the Government Accountability Office to submit a report within one year examining co-stewardship agreements between Indigenous communities and federal agencies and offering recommendations to improve these partnerships. The legislation affects all units of the National Park System and applies to both physical exhibits and online educational materials.

The 21st Century Entrepreneurship Act directs the Small Business Administration to develop a curriculum for retired business executives in the SCORE program to teach entrepreneurship to students at community learning centers, particularly those serving disadvantaged youth. The bill requires the SBA to work with education specialists, business groups, and organizations serving underrepresented children when creating the curriculum, and to collaborate with the Department of Education on implementing the program. The legislation encourages SCORE volunteers to work alongside other small business development programs and women's and minority business centers when teaching entrepreneurship. The bill mandates that the SBA submit reports to Congress every two years starting within one year of enactment, documenting how many students were reached, how funds were used, and any barriers or improvements needed for the program. No specific funding amounts are authorized in the bill.

The SSI Savings and Efficiency Act of 2026 would change how the Supplemental Security Income program counts income for eligibility purposes by excluding in-kind support and maintenance from income calculations. In-kind support refers to non-cash assistance such as food, housing, or other goods provided directly to recipients. The bill would simplify SSI rules by removing the current treatment of in-kind items as countable income, making it easier for recipients to qualify for and maintain benefits. The legislation would take effect one year after it becomes law. The bill primarily affects low-income elderly, blind, and disabled individuals who receive SSI benefits and may receive support from family members or others in non-monetary forms.

The Data to Save Moms Act authorizes $10 million annually from 2027 through 2031 to establish and strengthen maternal mortality review committees in states and tribal organizations, with funding designed to increase community participation from racial and ethnic minorities and individuals with lived experience of maternal loss. The bill also requires the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct a comprehensive review of how maternal health data is collected and measured, assess barriers to gathering demographic information, and issue a report within one year. Additionally, the legislation funds two separate research initiatives—a $2 million annual study on maternal mortality among American Indian and Alaska Native populations and a $10 million annual grant program for minority-serving institutions—both running through 2029-2031, to investigate disparities and develop policy recommendations. These provisions are designed to address disproportionately high maternal mortality rates in communities of color and Native American populations by improving data collection, community input, and targeted research into the causes and solutions for maternal health crises.

The Resilient Food Supply Chain and Affordability Act directs the Department of Agriculture to continue operating the Resilient Food Systems Infrastructure program, which was originally created as part of the 2021 American Rescue Plan. The key change in this bill is that it expands what program recipients can use their funding for by allowing them to support infrastructure projects related to meat and poultry products, in addition to the activities already permitted. This affects agricultural businesses, food processors, and other entities that receive grants or assistance through this program to strengthen local and regional food systems. The bill essentially keeps the existing program running while broadening its scope to address supply chain vulnerabilities in the meat and poultry sectors. No new funding amounts or specific timelines are specified in the legislation.

Native American Entrepreneurial Opportunity ActThis bill provides statutory authority for the establishment of the Office of Native American Affairs within the Small Business Administration (SBA). The office must establish a working relationship with Indian tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations by targeting SBA programs relating to entrepreneurial development, contracting, and capital access to (1) establish or expand small businesses owned and controlled by individuals who are members of Indian tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations, and (2) promote economic development in Indian country.

This resolution expresses support for the designation of National Tribal Colleges and Universities Week.

H.R. 7093, the "Afterschool ACCESS Act," would allow businesses and property owners to claim charitable tax deductions for donating the use of their property to community learning centers (afterschool and enrichment programs). Specifically, the bill permits deductions for providing real property and related equipment for educational purposes, as well as motor vehicles used to transport children to and from these centers. The deduction would be based on the fair market rental value of the property being donated each year. This change affects property owners and businesses that want to support afterschool programs while receiving a tax benefit, and it benefits community learning centers that currently rely on donations to operate. The bill would take effect for tax years beginning after it becomes law, with no specific funding amount allocated since it works through the tax code.

The Securing America's Fuels Act (SAF Act) increases tax credits for sustainable aviation fuel production under the existing clean fuel production credit program. The bill raises the credit rate for sustainable aviation fuel from 20 cents to 35 cents per gallon at standard facilities, and from $1.00 to $1.75 per gallon at facilities meeting certain efficiency requirements. The legislation extends the program's expiration date from the end of 2029 to the end of 2033, giving fuel producers a longer window to benefit from the incentives. These changes apply to fuel produced after December 31, 2025, and aim to encourage domestic production of aviation fuel that meets international sustainability standards while avoiding certain feedstock sources like palm oil.

The Brownfields Reauthorization Act of 2025 increases federal funding and support for cleaning up abandoned or underutilized industrial and commercial properties known as brownfields. The bill doubles the maximum grant for individual site remediation from $500,000 to $1,000,000 and increases annual federal funding from $200 million to $250 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. The legislation also expands state environmental programs to implement new cleanup initiatives in addition to enhancing existing ones. This bill affects state and local governments, developers, and environmental agencies working to restore contaminated sites for reuse. The increased resources aim to accelerate brownfield redevelopment projects across the country, helping revitalize communities and support economic development on previously polluted land.

This resolution recognizes National Orange Shirt Week or National Week of Remembrance, which aims to honor those who were forced to attend Indian boarding schools. The resolution also recognizes the experience of Indian boarding school victims and survivors.

The ABLE Employment Flexibility Act allows employers to contribute directly to ABLE accounts (tax-advantaged savings accounts for people with disabilities) as an alternative to traditional retirement plan contributions. Under this bill, eligible employees with disabilities can elect to have their employer contribute to their ABLE account instead of a 401(k) or similar retirement plan, provided this option is available to all eligible workers at their company. The legislation treats these employer contributions as wages for tax purposes and ensures they don't trigger penalties under existing retirement plan rules. Additionally, contributions to ABLE accounts won't count as income when determining eligibility for means-tested federal benefits like Medicaid or SSI. The Treasury Department must issue guidance and model plan amendments within one year, and the changes take effect for plan years beginning after the bill's enactment, providing workers with disabilities greater flexibility in how employers can help them save for their future.

This bill gives Indian tribes and tribal organizations the authority to directly manage and purchase food for the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) through self-determination contracts and self-governance agreements with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Currently, the federal government controls these food distribution programs on reservations; this legislation shifts that control to tribes that request it and meet eligibility requirements. Tribes would have flexibility in purchasing domestically produced agricultural commodities that match the nutritional value of current food packages or have cultural significance to their communities, though the total amount of food provided would remain the same. The bill requires the Agriculture Secretary to report annually to Congress on how tribes are using these new authorities and ends an existing demonstration program for tribes once their contract periods expire. The legislation aims to increase tribal self-governance and allow communities to better tailor food distribution to their specific needs and preferences.

H.R. 3957 amends federal disaster relief law to allow Indian Tribal Governments to directly request fire management assistance from the federal government, rather than having to go through a state's request. The bill authorizes the President to provide fire assistance grants and resources directly to tribes affected by fires and requires the Federal Emergency Management Agency to set up procedures to receive and process tribal requests. Within one year of enactment, the President must issue updated regulations that account for tribes' unique circumstances and establish government-to-government consultation with tribes on these new rules. The legislation also protects tribes by ensuring they remain eligible for assistance through state requests even if their direct tribal request is denied. This change affects Indian Tribal Governments dealing with wildfire management and gives them greater autonomy in accessing federal disaster relief resources without state intermediaries.

This bill allows parents to choose which parent's health insurance plan will be the primary coverage for their newborn child when both parents have separate health insurance policies or group health plans at the time of birth. To make this choice, both parents must jointly submit a notification to their insurance issuer within 60 days of the child's birth. The primary coverage designation continues until both parents agree to change it or until one parent loses their own coverage. The bill applies only when both parents each have separate insurance policies that would cover the child, and parents cannot designate multiple plans as primary simultaneously. These new rules take effect for children born on January 1, 2026 and forward, and the bill amends federal health insurance law, employee benefits law, and tax code to implement this change.

The Pride In Mental Health Act of 2025 establishes a federal grant program to improve mental health services and outcomes for LGBTQ+ youth, including transgender, nonbinary, and other sexual and gender minority young people. Grant recipients can use funding to provide mental health and crisis intervention services, train caregivers in cultural competency, develop evidence-based practices, prevent school bullying, integrate mental health services into schools, and create family support programs. The bill explicitly prohibits grant recipients from using federal funds for conversion therapy—defined as efforts to change sexual orientation or gender identity for compensation—and requires the government to review and update mental health resources while developing a federal survey to measure mental health outcomes among LGBTQ+ youth. The legislation authorizes $20 million annually from 2026 through 2030 for these programs and requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to submit a report to Congress within two years on mental health services for LGBTQ+ youth in foster care and other social service programs.

H.Res. 460 is a commemorative resolution honoring the late Representative Raúl Grijalva, who served Arizona's 7th Congressional District for over 22 years. The resolution celebrates Grijalva's legislative legacy and advocacy work, particularly his efforts to protect Native American rights, sacred lands, and tribal sovereignty through his leadership on the House Natural Resources Committee. Key accomplishments highlighted include his work on the Save Oak Flat Act to protect sacred Apache sites, initiatives to safeguard the Grand Canyon and Bears Ears monuments, support for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe during the Dakota Access Pipeline protests, and legislation addressing missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, tribal water rights, and Native mental health. As a commemorative resolution, this measure does not create new law, establish funding, or set timelines—it simply expresses the House's recognition of Grijalva's contributions to environmental protection, tribal self-determination, and equitable policies for underserved communities.

The Defend American Manufacturing Act directs the Secretary of Commerce to maintain and continue operating the Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership, a federal program that provides support to manufacturers across the country. The bill requires the Commerce Department to compete, renew, and award funding to manufacturing extension centers in all 50 states and Puerto Rico each fiscal year, starting in 2025, as long as Congress appropriates funds for the program. This change makes the program's operation mandatory rather than discretionary by changing the language from "may" to "shall" in the underlying National Institute of Standards and Technology Act. The bill affects manufacturers and the centers that support them with technical assistance and modernization services. No specific funding amount is designated in the legislation itself; instead, it depends on Congress approving appropriations through the normal budget process each year.

This bill establishes a new Title X Clinic Fund to significantly increase federal funding for family planning clinics across the country. The legislation appropriates $512 million annually for ten years (fiscal years 2026-2035) to support grants and contracts for family planning services, plus an additional $50 million per year for clinic infrastructure improvements like construction and equipment upgrades. The bill affects family planning clinics that receive federal Title X funding, as well as the millions of Americans who rely on these clinics for reproductive health services. The legislation includes requirements that clinics receiving these funds must provide pregnant patients with nondirective counseling covering all pregnancy options—including prenatal care, adoption, and pregnancy termination—and must not exclude entities from participating in the program based on their willingness to provide comprehensive services.

The Affordable Child Care Act doubles the value of three federal tax benefits designed to help families afford child care expenses. First, it increases the child and dependent care tax credit from $3,000 to $6,000 for one dependent and from $6,000 to $12,000 for two or more dependents. Second, it raises the limit on dependent care assistance programs that employers can offer from $5,000 to $10,000 per year. Third, it doubles the employer-provided child care facility credit from $150,000 to $300,000, which encourages businesses to invest in on-site or subsidized child care. All changes take effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, and directly benefit working families with children, as well as employers who provide child care support.

This resolution supports the designation of National Tribal Colleges and Universities Week.

Successful Entrepreneurship for Reservists and Veterans Act or the SERV Act This bill requires (1) the Small Business Administration to report on the veterans interagency task force; and (2) the Government Accountability Office to report on access to credit for small businesses owned and controlled by veterans, Reservists, or their spouses.
