This bill authorizes Tuskegee Airmen, Inc., a nonprofit organization, to build a commemorative memorial on federal land in Washington, D.C., or its surrounding areas honoring the Tuskegee Airmen who served in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. The memorial must comply with federal standards for commemorative works, and the organization must raise all funds privately since no federal money can be used for construction or maintenance. If Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. collects more donations than needed after completing the memorial, any surplus funds will be transferred to the National Park Foundation or a federal account for future maintenance of commemorative works. The bill has no direct cost to taxpayers since it shifts all financial responsibility to the private organization.

This bill directs the U.S. Department of Agriculture to provide financial assistance to farmers who have lost revenue due to tariffs on their crops. The payments are available to qualifying producers of corn, cotton, peanuts, poultry, and soybeans for crop years 2025 and 2026, but each farmer can receive assistance for only one of those years, not both. To qualify, farmers must have an average adjusted gross income of no more than $500,000 and must document their revenue losses by submitting receipts and production records to the USDA. The bill allocates $15 billion in total funding, split equally between $7.5 billion for 2025 crop year losses and $7.5 billion for 2026 crop year losses, with payment deadlines of November 1, 2026, and November 1, 2027, respectively. The payment formula calculates each farmer's compensation based on the difference between their revenue in the previous year and their revenue in the affected crop year.

The Affordable Youth Enrichment Opportunities Act would create a new tax deduction allowing parents and guardians to deduct up to $5,000 annually for qualified youth program expenses. Eligible programs include tutoring and academic enrichment, athletic activities, arts instruction, and other youth enrichment activities approved by the Secretary of Education for children under age 19. The deduction phases out for higher-income taxpayers, with income limits ranging from $100,000 to $200,000 depending on filing status, and the deduction amount will adjust annually for inflation beginning in 2027. The bill would affect families paying for youth enrichment programs and takes effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2026. No specific federal funding is authorized, as this operates through the tax code rather than direct appropriations.

The HARVEST Act directs the Secretary of Agriculture to study how historically Black colleges and universities, specifically 1890 Institutions, can better help farmers transfer agricultural land and assets to the next generation. The study focuses particularly on "heirs property," which is land held jointly by multiple family members without a clear ownership agreement, a situation that often complicates succession planning for farmers. The Secretary must complete this study and report findings to Congress by September 30, 2026. The legislation aims to address barriers that prevent next-generation farmers and ranchers from inheriting and operating family agricultural operations by identifying ways these institutions can provide educational programs and technical assistance on land transfer issues.

The Save SNAP Act of 2026 modifies how the federal government funds the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly known as food stamps, by ensuring that if a state cannot afford its required cost share, the federal government will cover the full cost of the program for that state. Under current law, states are required to contribute a portion of SNAP funding, but this bill creates a "hardship exception" that shifts the entire financial burden to the federal government if a state lacks the resources to pay its share for any reason. The legislation affects all states participating in SNAP and could provide financial relief to states experiencing budget shortfalls, helping maintain nutrition assistance benefits for low-income individuals and families. The bill became effective on October 1, 2026, and does not specify new federal funding amounts, instead making existing federal SNAP funding mandatory when states cannot meet their obligations. This change ensures continuity of benefits by preventing potential gaps in SNAP services due to state fiscal constraints.

The Rural Health Resilience Act of 2026 creates a new federal loan and loan guarantee program to help rural health centers avoid closing or cutting services due to financial hardship. The program, administered by the Secretary of Agriculture, will be available to a broad range of rural health facilities including hospitals, rural health clinics, federally qualified health centers, community mental health centers, and opioid treatment programs that demonstrate financial distress such as low operating margins or depleted cash reserves. Eligible facilities can use the financing to cover operational costs like payroll and supplies, upgrade facilities and equipment, refinance debt, or restore essential services that may have been reduced. The bill prioritizes assistance to sole community providers, facilities in high-poverty areas, and hospitals providing critical emergency services. The Secretary must submit a report to Congress within 18 months describing the program's outcomes and its effectiveness in stabilizing rural health care finances.

This bill modifies the veterinary services grant program under existing federal agricultural law to expand funding opportunities and prioritize support for historically Black colleges and universities. Specifically, it adds 1890 Institutions—a category that includes historically Black land-grant universities—as eligible recipients for veterinary education grants and requires the Department of Agriculture to give these institutions higher priority when awarding funds. The legislation affects veterinary schools and programs at 1890 Institutions, which traditionally serve underrepresented populations in veterinary medicine. The bill does not specify new funding amounts or authorization levels, instead restructuring how existing grant resources are distributed among eligible institutions. By expanding access to these grants and prioritizing historically Black institutions, the bill aims to increase equity in veterinary education and help address workforce gaps in agricultural and rural veterinary services.

The Food and Nutrition Delivery Safety Act of 2026 requires the federal government to establish safety standards for grocery stores and food retailers that offer online ordering and delivery services to people using SNAP benefits (the federal food assistance program). Within 18 months of the bill's passage, federal agencies must create standards protecting customers' digital privacy and cybersecurity when using online platforms, as well as standards ensuring food stays safe during delivery and that delivery workers receive fair wages and safe working conditions. Retailers accepting SNAP benefits must then comply with these standards and submit reports proving compliance within the following 18 months. Stores that fail to meet the standards will lose their authorization to accept SNAP benefits, though they can reapply once they demonstrate compliance. The bill affects millions of SNAP recipients who rely on food assistance, as well as grocery retailers and food delivery services operating in the program.

H.Res. 1086 is a symbolic resolution that recognizes the historical significance of the Clotilda, a ship that illegally brought 110 enslaved Africans to Alabama in 1860—the last known slave ship to arrive in the United States. The resolution condemns the U.S. government's role in enabling and sustaining the Atlantic slave trade through legal, political, and economic systems, and acknowledges the lasting trauma and injustice inflicted on African Americans and their descendants. It specifically honors the 110 Africans aboard the Clotilda and their descendants, as well as Africatown, a community founded around 1868 by survivors of the ship in Mobile, Alabama. The resolution encourages the Architect of the Capitol to consider creating a memorial within the Capitol Grounds to commemorate the Clotilda and all victims of the Atlantic slave trade. As a House resolution, this legislation does not create law or allocate funding; instead, it expresses the House's official position on this historical injustice and calls for recognition and remembrance.

H.R. 7533 reauthorizes and expands the Rural Innovation Stronger Economy (RISE) grant program, which provides federal funding to help rural communities develop economic opportunities and strengthen their economies. The bill modifies the program to broaden its focus beyond specific "industry clusters" to support a wider variety of rural industries, and it prioritizes assistance to smaller communities by requiring that at least 10 percent of annual grants go to communities with populations under 10,000. The legislation authorizes $50 million per year in funding for the program from 2026 through 2030, and it adds new requirements for the Department of Agriculture to ensure diverse industry representation and obtain state approval before awarding grants. These changes aim to make the grant program more accessible and beneficial to a broader range of rural communities of different sizes and economic bases.

H.R. 6635, the Bus Operator Safety and Security Act, requires that new fixed-route buses purchased with federal funding be equipped with protective barriers around the driver's workstation to shield operators from physical threats, unwanted entry, fluids, and objects. The requirement applies to buses 30 or more feet long with a useful life of at least 10 years, and takes effect two years after the bill becomes law. Transit agencies and their contractors can opt out of this requirement if the labor union representing a majority of their frontline workers agrees to waive it. The barriers must extend from floor to ceiling and fully enclose the workstation while maintaining the driver's visibility of the road and exterior. This legislation directly affects public transit systems and bus operators nationwide, with no specific funding amount allocated in the bill's language.

This bill designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 401 North Elm Street in Tuskegee, Alabama, as the "Tuskegee Airmen Memorial Post Office".

Keep America Building ActThis bill prohibits federal funds from being used to (1) to suspend, delay, or interrupt all or part of the work of a project under a contract during any lapse in appropriations (i.e., government shutdown); or (2) stop all or any part of the work agreed to in the contract.

Uninterrupted Salaries for Capitol Police Act or the USCP ActThis bill provides appropriations for the salaries and expenses of employees of the U.S. Capitol Police during any lapse in discretionary appropriations (i.e., government shutdown) that begins on or after the date that this bill is enacted.

Guaranteeing Retention and Aid During Shutdowns Act or the GRAD ActThis bill prohibits institutions of higher education that participate in federal student aid programs from terminating or otherwise altering the enrollment status of a student due to a disruption of the student’s federal student financial aid caused by a lapse in appropriations (i.e., government shutdown).

The First-Time Parents Tax Credit Act would create a new tax credit of $1,250 for first-time parents who have a child born or adopted in the current tax year, or $2,500 for married couples filing jointly where both are eligible new parents. The credit would also extend to non-custodial parents (those whose names appear on the birth certificate but who don't claim the child as a dependent) for children born or adopted in the immediately preceding year. The credit is refundable, meaning eligible taxpayers could receive the full amount even if they owe little or no income tax. The legislation applies to tax years beginning after December 31, 2025, and each taxpayer can only claim the credit once in their lifetime.

Baby Sleep Tax Relief ActThis bill prohibits the imposition of duties (i.e., tariffs) on specified baby sleep items (e.g., cribs, toddler beds, and baby monitors) pursuant to certain presidential powers.Specifically, the bill prohibits the President from exercising authorities under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose duties on specified baby sleep items entering the United States. (IEEPA provides the President with broad authority to regulate various economic transactions following a declaration of a national emergency.)Further, the President must terminate the duties on these items that were imposed pursuant to IEEPA and are in effect as of the date of the bill's enactment.The bill also prohibits the President from using any other authorities to impose duties on these items that are substantially similar to the duties imposed pursuant to IEEPA.

Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities for All Act of 2025This bill changes grants historically provided under the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program from competitive grants to noncompetitive formula grants allocated to each eligible state. These grants fund activities that reduce risk from natural hazards. The bill also provides eligibility for projects to receive grant funds from two different mitigation programs. Under current law, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) may provide BRIC grants to states and Indian tribal governments through a competitive application process. The bill requires FEMA to instead allocate such grants based on a specified formula which distributes funding to each eligible state while giving certain preference proportionally to states with higher populations and states with the most vulnerability of critical infrastructure to natural hazards. States must distribute at least 50% of the grant funds to local governments carrying out mitigation projects. The bill also specifies a minimum for the amount to be provided to tribes.To be eligible to receive a formula grant under the bill, a state must annually recommend to FEMA specific predisaster mitigation projects. States generally may only use the grants for projects they recommended.Additionally, under current law, a project is not eligible to receive funds from two different FEMA grant programs for the same purpose. The bill prohibits FEMA from considering a project’s receipt of BRIC (or other predisaster mitigation) grant funding in determining such project’s eligibility to receive funding under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, and vice versa.

The Bridge Investment and Modernization Act of 2025 extends and increases federal funding for bridge repair and modernization projects through 2031. The bill allocates approximately $3 billion annually for fiscal years 2027-2031, with funding levels gradually increasing from $3.047 billion to $3.247 billion. The legislation affects state transportation departments and local communities that rely on federal bridge investment grants to repair and upgrade aging infrastructure. Additionally, the bill streamlines the bridge selection process by removing certain eligibility considerations, making it easier and faster for projects to be approved and funded.

Enhancing Science, Treatment, and Upkeep of America’s Resilient and Important Estuarine Systems Act or the ESTUARIES ActThis bill reauthorizes through FY2031 grants provided under the National Estuary Program to protect and restore estuaries of national significance. Estuaries are coastal waterbodies where freshwater from rivers and streams mixes with the ocean’s saltwater. Under the existing program, the Environmental Protection Agency provides grants for (1) developing and implementing comprehensive conservation and management plans for estuaries of national significance, and (2) addressing issues that threaten the ecological and economic well-being of such estuaries. The existing program provides grants to states, regional water pollution control agencies and entities, state coastal zone management agencies, interstate agencies, other public or nonprofit private agencies, institutions, organizations, and individuals.

H.R. 3281 prohibits the federal government from reducing, eliminating, or suspending funding for land-grant colleges and universities unless Congress specifically authorizes such action through new legislation. The bill applies to the Secretary of Agriculture and all other federal officials, preventing unilateral executive decisions to cut funding for these institutions. Land-grant colleges and universities—which include major public research and teaching institutions established under the Morrill Land-Grant Acts—serve millions of students and conduct critical agricultural research and extension programs. The bill does not appropriate new funding or establish a specific timeline, but rather creates a legal barrier that would require Congress to pass new legislation before any funding cuts could take place. This legislation essentially protects the current funding base for these institutions from administrative action.

This bill authorizes the federal government to award grants to rural hospitals to help them stay financially stable and maintain service to their communities. Eligible rural hospitals—defined as those located at least 15 miles from the nearest hospital and at least 20 miles from urbanized areas—can receive up to $5 million over any five-year period to fund facility upgrades, equipment repairs, and operational costs like payroll and debt payments, though grants cannot fund executive salaries. The bill appropriates up to $500 million in total funding for the grant program beginning in fiscal year 2026, and requires the Health and Human Services Secretary to report to Congress within 18 months on how the program is improving hospitals' financial health and rural residents' access to care. The grants are intended to supplement, not replace, other existing federal, state, local, and tribal funding that rural hospitals may receive.

H.R. 2046 requires Congress to approve any decision by federal officials to sell, dispose of, or transfer federally owned property that has historical significance. The bill defines "covered buildings" as any federal land, building, structure, monument, or site that is or has ever been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Before taking any such action, federal officials must notify Congress and obtain passage of a joint resolution specifically approving the transaction. This requirement applies to the President, heads of federal agencies, and other federal officials. The bill contains no specific funding or implementation timeline but would effectively give Congress veto power over decisions to divest historically significant federal properties, preventing executive branch agencies from unilaterally disposing of buildings and sites with recognized historical value.
