The Stop ICE Price Gouging Act would cap the price markup on items sold at immigration detention facility commissaries. Essential items like hygiene products, toiletries, and writing supplies would be limited to a 5 percent markup above vendor cost, while nonessential items would be capped at a 35 percent markup. The bill also prohibits additional fees and revenue sharing arrangements between detention facilities and commissary operators. If detainees are overcharged, they must receive refunds, and any unclaimed overcharges would go into a Detainee Welfare Fund for educational and recreational items benefiting detained individuals. The Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement would enforce the rules and submit compliance reports to Congress every 90 days, while the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General would conduct audits and investigate violations.

The Environmental Health Workforce Act of 2026 addresses a significant shortage in the nation's environmental health workforce by establishing standards, training, and support programs. The bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to develop model credentialing standards for environmental health workers within one year and create a comprehensive workforce development plan within two years, while also directing a study of best practices in six states. The legislation expands Public Service Loan Forgiveness to include accredited environmental health workers, making it easier for professionals in this field to manage education debt. The bill affects state, local, tribal, and federal public health agencies that employ environmental health workers who investigate environmental hazards and develop public health policies. This action comes in response to documented workforce losses exceeding 50,600 jobs since 2008 and widespread reports of insufficient staffing capacity and worker burnout across environmental health programs.

This resolution celebrates the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which connects Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario. The bridge was named after the legendary hockey player Gordie Howe and represents a major infrastructure project that began in the early 2000s due to growing trade demands between the two countries. The resolution recognizes that the bridge was financed and constructed through cooperation between the United States and Canada, with Canada funding construction while Michigan provided land and infrastructure support under a 2012 agreement. The measure highlights expected economic benefits for the Detroit metropolitan area, including improved freight movement efficiency, reduced traffic delays, increased commerce, and job creation in local industries. This is a symbolic resolution expressing congressional support for the bridge and the ongoing partnership between the United States and Canada, with no funding or implementation timeline required since it is celebratory in nature.

This bill establishes new documentation and reporting requirements for major acquisition programs at the Department of Homeland Security. Under the legislation, DHS must maintain comprehensive acquisition documentation for any program estimated to cost $300 million or more over its lifetime, including performance requirements, cost estimates, schedules, and logistics plans. The bill requires DHS to notify Congress within 30 days of any "breach" of a major acquisition program, defined as a cost overrun exceeding 15 percent, a delay of more than 180 days, or failure to meet key performance thresholds. When breaches involve cost overruns greater than 20 percent or delays exceeding 12 months, DHS must provide additional analysis assessing whether the project remains essential and whether alternatives exist. The legislation applies to all DHS acquisition pathways and directs the agency to follow best practices identified by the Comptroller General when preparing cost estimates and schedules.

The Customer Property Protection Act amends the Commodity Exchange Act to clarify how customer property is treated when a commodity broker goes bankrupt. The bill expands the definition of what counts as customer property to include the broker's own cash, securities, inventory, and trading accounts, but only if there isn't enough customer property available to pay back what customers are owed. The new rule applies to individual and institutional customers of commodity brokers and would be implemented by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The legislation protects customers by ensuring their claims have priority over creditors' security interests and contractual rights, with certain exceptions for clearing organizations' legally enforceable netting and offset rights. No specific funding or timeline is mentioned in the bill, which focuses on clarifying existing regulatory treatment rather than establishing new programs.

Health Disparity Zones Act of 2026This bill provides for the designation of Health Disparity Zones in certain geographic areas with documented and measurable health disparities. This designation, which expires 10 fiscal years after the bill's enactment, confers eligibility for certain grants, student loan repayment programs, and tax credits for those working to reduce health disparities and improve health outcomes in these zones.Specifically, community-based nonprofits or local government agencies, in coalition with health care providers, social service organizations, and others, may apply to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for the designation. The application must include a plan to reduce health disparities and achieve other outcomes.In implementing the program, HHS must consult with, among others, the Department of Housing and Urban Development. When approving applications, HHS shall consider factors including geographic diversity and the commitment of supporting funds from the private sector. HHS (1) may award grants to organizations or agencies that applied for the designation to support activities aligned with their plans, and (2) must carry out a student loan repayment program for health care providers who agree to provide services in a Health Disparity Zone.In addition, the bill establishes tax credits for employers that hire, and individuals who work as, Health Disparity Zone workers.

The BLANKET Act establishes a new federal grant program to help communities provide emergency shelter for homeless people during severe weather events such as heat waves, winter storms, floods, and wildfires. The bill requires the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to create a competitive grant program within one year, awarding funds to states, local governments, nonprofits, and housing agencies that demonstrate need and capacity to expand shelter services during dangerous weather. Grant money can be used to open warming and cooling centers, pay for hotel vouchers, hire shelter staff, purchase emergency supplies like generators and medical equipment, and coordinate with local emergency response systems. The legislation authorizes $750 million annually for fiscal years 2027 through 2029 to fund these grants. The Government Accountability Office must evaluate the program's effectiveness within five years and report to Congress on how many people were served and what barriers existed to implementation.

The DHS CANDOR Act requires the Department of Homeland Security to establish a comprehensive department-wide policy for public communications within 90 days of enactment. The policy must ensure that all public-facing materials from DHS personnel are accurate, objective, and free from misleading, partisan, or unsupported statements, while complying with existing federal requirements including the Data Quality Act, Hatch Act, and civil rights laws. The bill governs how DHS employees use both official and personal social media accounts, requiring that personal accounts not misrepresent personal views as department positions or disclose non-public information. DHS must maintain oversight of all social media accounts through the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, establish training requirements for all personnel, and implement incident reporting procedures for policy violations. The DHS Inspector General must audit compliance within one year of enactment and submit annual reports to Congress on compliance, misuse incidents, and corrective actions.

This bill amends federal bankruptcy law to protect borrowers struggling with student loan debt. Currently, creditors can use certain collection tactics during bankruptcy proceedings, but this legislation would restrict those practices by modifying how the rules apply when a debtor is seeking to discharge student loans based on undue hardship. The change affects anyone filing for bankruptcy protection after the bill becomes law who wants to challenge whether their student loans should be forgiven due to genuine financial hardship. The bill contains no new federal funding and would take effect immediately upon enactment, applying only to bankruptcy cases filed after that date.

This bill requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO), an independent federal watchdog agency, to conduct yearly reviews of how the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) implements its anti-discrimination policies during airport security screening. The GAO must submit its first assessment within 90 days of the bill becoming law and then annually thereafter to Congress's Homeland Security and Commerce committees. The assessments are intended to identify whether the TSA is following its own non-discrimination rules and to pinpoint any actions needed to improve compliance with those policies. The bill directly affects TSA operations and airport security practices, as well as the millions of Americans who fly and go through security screening. No specific funding amount is designated in the bill text provided.

This resolution proposes to censure Representative Andrew Ogles and remove him from the House Committee on Homeland Security. The censure is being sought in response to Ogles's repeated public statements on social media and podcasts that are characterized as Islamophobic and discriminatory, including claims that Muslims don't belong in American society, suggestions about Muslim population growth, and implications that Muslim elected officials are conspiring against the country. The resolution argues that such rhetoric is inappropriate for a member of Congress, particularly one serving on a committee responsible for homeland security matters. If passed, Ogles would be formally censured (a statement of disapproval) through a public reading of the resolution on the House floor and would be immediately removed from his committee assignment. The resolution was submitted on March 12, 2026, and referred to the House Committee on Ethics.

This bill establishes a 15-member Commission on Land Reparations to study and provide land compensation to African-American descendants of enslaved people, addressing the federal government's unfulfilled promise of "40 acres and a mule" after the Civil War. The commission would identify eligible individuals, locate suitable land from federal, municipal, or repossessed sources, and determine compensation through either land subsidies or one-time cash payments. The commission must submit its findings and recommendations to Congress within 18 months of its first full meeting and will terminate 90 days after submitting its report. Members would be appointed jointly by congressional leaders and the President, with additional appointments from civil rights organizations, and the commission has broad powers to hold hearings, subpoena witnesses, and access federal information. The bill does not specify funding amounts, leaving appropriations to be determined separately by Congress.

This resolution impeaches Pamela Jo Bondi, the Attorney General of the United States, on three main charges: obstructing Congress, dereliction of duty and obstruction of justice, and weaponizing the Department of Justice. The first article alleges that Bondi violated federal law by failing to release Jeffrey Epstein documents within required timeframes, improperly releasing unredacted victim information, ignoring a House subpoena, and making false statements under oath to Congress about the Mueller investigation. The second article claims she dropped corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, authorized a controversial $400 million foreign jet transfer to President Trump in violation of the Constitution, closed an FBI investigation into alleged bribery, directed violations of court orders, and took favorable actions in cases involving her brother. The third article accuses her of using the Department of Justice to investigate and prosecute political opponents and critics of the Trump administration, including New York's Attorney General, members of Congress, and federal officials. The resolution seeks Bondi's removal from office and disqualification from holding future federal office if convicted by the Senate.

H.R. 7302 establishes a new Digital Literacy and Equity Commission tasked with studying the current state of digital skills and internet literacy in the United States, with particular attention to gaps in low-income and disadvantaged communities. The Commission, chaired by the Secretary of Education and composed of representatives from multiple federal agencies plus private-sector experts, will examine existing federal, state, and local digital literacy programs, review successful approaches from other countries, and identify best practices for improving digital skills across the nation. Within two years of being formed, the Commission must submit a report to Congress with recommendations on how to improve digital literacy education, establish national measurement standards, and increase coordination among federal agencies in delivering digital literacy services. The bill does not specify direct funding amounts but requires the Commission to hold its first meeting within 90 days of enactment and meet at least quarterly thereafter, with all meetings open to the public.

The Middle Class Tax Cut Act would significantly restructure federal income taxes starting in 2026 by increasing the standard deduction and replacing the current tax bracket system with a simpler, flatter rate structure. The bill raises the standard deduction from $4,400 to $75,000 for married couples filing jointly and from $3,000 to $50,000 for single filers, reducing the amount of income subject to taxation. The legislation replaces the existing seven-bracket tax system with a new four-bracket structure with rates of 25%, 30%, 40%, and 70% depending on income level, and eliminates preferential tax treatment for capital gains, meaning investment income would be taxed at the same rates as ordinary income. These changes would affect all individual taxpayers, estates, and trusts filing federal income taxes beginning with the 2026 tax year. The bill includes automatic annual adjustments to account for inflation starting in 2026.

The Abolish ICE Act would eliminate the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, effective 90 days after the bill's enactment. The legislation immediately cuts off all federal funding for ICE operations and transfers any remaining assets to the Department of Homeland Security. The bill's sponsors argue that ICE has overstepped its authority, citing incidents involving deaths of civilians, mass arrests of non-criminal immigrants, and poor detention conditions in 2025, while contending the agency is "not bound by the rule of law" and past reform. If enacted, other federal agencies would presumably assume immigration and customs enforcement responsibilities currently handled by ICE, though the bill does not specify which agencies would take on these functions or provide alternative funding mechanisms for transferred duties.

The Bike the Border Act directs U.S. Customs and Border Protection to streamline procedures for bicyclists and pedestrians crossing the Gordie Howe International Bridge between the United States and Canada within one year of the bill's enactment. The legislation affects travelers using non-motorized transportation at this specific border crossing and aims to reduce wait times and bureaucratic barriers for these users. Within 18 months, the Government Accountability Office must report to Congress on whether CBP has successfully expedited these crossings and provide recommendations for further improvements and potential incentives to encourage bike and pedestrian traffic. The bill includes no specific funding amounts but requires government agencies to allocate existing resources to implement the changes.

Representative Thanedar introduced this resolution on December 9, 2025, to impeach Secretary of Defense Peter B. Hegseth on two articles: murder and conspiracy to murder, and reckless mishandling of classified information. The first article alleges that Secretary Hegseth ordered lethal strikes against small boats in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean starting September 2, 2025, claiming they targeted drug smugglers without congressional authorization, and that he specifically ordered the killing of survivors clinging to wreckage after an initial strike—conduct the resolution argues violates international law and the Law of War. The second article charges that in March 2025, Secretary Hegseth shared highly classified operational details about planned airstrikes in Yemen via an unsecured commercial messaging app (Signal) with multiple senior officials, including a journalist, which endangered troops and violated federal law regarding handling of classified national defense information. The resolution seeks Secretary Hegseth's removal from office and disqualification from holding future federal office if convicted by the Senate. There is no funding or specific timeline mentioned beyond the dates of the alleged incidents.

H.R. 6246 would extend two key provisions of the Affordable Care Act's health insurance premium tax credit beyond their current expiration dates. Specifically, the bill would allow the credit to cover people whose household income exceeds 400 percent of the federal poverty line (currently capped at that level) and would continue enhanced premium assistance amounts that help reduce health insurance costs for eligible individuals. The bill ties the expiration of these extended benefits to tariff revenue collected by the federal government—the extension will continue only as long as tariff revenues offset the increased federal spending and reduced tax revenues caused by providing these expanded credits. The bill authorizes the Treasury Secretary to estimate when tariff collections will no longer cover these costs and set an "applicable date" when the extensions end. These changes would take effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025, making them available to millions of Americans who purchase health insurance through the marketplace or who receive subsidized coverage.

This resolution recognizes the 95th anniversary of the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel (an underwater international border crossing that connects the cities of Detroit, Michigan; and Windsor, Ontario).

The Fight Hunger Act creates a new tax credit for individuals and businesses that donate food or cash to charitable organizations that feed hungry or vulnerable people, such as food banks and soup kitchens. Taxpayers who donate can claim a credit equal to their qualifying donations—which include cash gifts, wholesome food, and vehicle mileage costs for food delivery—against their federal income taxes. The bill applies to donations made to established charitable food organizations (excluding private foundations that don't actively operate their own programs) and requires donors to document their contributions. Unused credits can be carried forward for up to five years if they exceed annual tax liability limits, allowing taxpayers to use them in future years. The tax incentive takes effect for donations made in 2026 and beyond.

Improving Access to Institutional Mental Health Care ActThis bill repeals restrictions that generally prohibit federal payment under Medicaid for services provided in institutions for mental diseases (IMDs) for individuals under the age of 65. (Currently, states may receive payment for such services through certain mechanisms, such as through a Medicaid demonstration waiver.)

This bill allows military service members transitioning to Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare to continue seeing their current mental health provider at a military hospital during the switch, rather than having to immediately switch to a VA provider. The VA would reimburse the Department of Defense for these continued services. The bill applies to individuals diagnosed with mental health conditions who are enrolling in or already enrolled in the VA's patient system while still receiving Defense Department care. If a service member's provider leaves the military facility or the individual relocates, they would then transition to a VA mental health provider. The bill also requires Defense Department providers to submit medical records to the VA to ensure continuity of care. The legislation aims to reduce disruption in mental health treatment during the transition from military to veteran status, which can be a vulnerable period for individuals managing mental health conditions.

The Picket Line Protection Act would amend the tax code to exclude strike benefits from workers' taxable income. Specifically, the bill allows union members to receive compensation from their labor organization to replace wages lost during a strike without counting that money as income for federal tax purposes. This benefits striking workers by preventing them from being taxed on financial support they receive from their unions while on the picket line. The provision would take effect retroactively for compensation received after January 1, 2025, and applies only to members of tax-exempt labor organizations. The bill carries no specific funding requirements since it reduces tax revenue rather than appropriating funds.

H.Res. 697 is a congressional resolution recognizing suicide as a serious public health problem and officially supporting the designation of September as "National Suicide Prevention Month" and September 10, 2025, as "World Suicide Prevention Day." The resolution presents alarming statistics showing that suicide claimed approximately 49,316 lives in 2023 and was among the leading causes of death for people aged 10 to 64, with particularly high rates among young adults and veterans. The measure does not provide funding or establish new programs but instead affirms Congress's commitment to suicide prevention as a priority and calls for increased access to mental health and substance abuse services across all communities. The resolution emphasizes that suicide prevention requires tailored approaches for different populations and acknowledges that mental health deserves equal importance to physical health. By aligning with the internationally recognized World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10, this resolution aims to raise awareness about suicide prevention and combat the stigma that prevents at-risk individuals from seeking help.
