This resolution provides for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 1589) to authorize the cancellation of removal and adjustment of status of certain aliens, and for other purposes.

This bill directs the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to conduct a study examining how public housing agencies have implemented work requirements for residents receiving housing assistance. The study will focus on agencies participating in the Moving to Work demonstration program that have adopted work requirements as part of their operations. Researchers will evaluate both the benefits and challenges of these work requirements, looking at impacts on homelessness rates, poverty, earnings, job retention, and housing agencies' ability to manage their programs, using both numerical data and interviews with affected residents. The Secretary must submit initial findings to Congress within one year of the bill's enactment. The study will only proceed if the Housing and Urban Development Secretary determines there are enough participating agencies to properly evaluate the policy's effects and that conducting the study won't harm low-income families currently receiving assistance.

H.R. 8878 amends the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act to allow local communities to request waivers from federal spending caps on homeless assistance funds for fiscal years 2027 through 2030. Communities seeking these waivers must submit detailed plans to the Department of Housing and Urban Development demonstrating their local needs, explaining how they intend to use the additional funds, and showing how the proposed spending aligns with their existing community plans. The bill requires communities to notify local homeless assistance organizations and solicit public input before requesting a waiver, and it prohibits the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development from approving waivers from communities that relocate homeless individuals without providing them with adequate housing alternatives. All waiver requests and decisions will be made publicly available online, and communities have up to 60 days from submission to receive approval or denial of their requests.

This joint resolution uses Congress's disapproval power to block a rule from the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection that would withdraw an earlier policy statement on prohibiting abusive acts or practices by financial companies. If passed by both chambers and signed by the President, the withdrawal rule would be invalidated and have no legal effect, meaning the original consumer protection policy statement would remain in place. The resolution was introduced in May 2026 and referred to the House Committee on Financial Services. This type of measure allows Congress to overturn regulatory actions through a streamlined process without requiring a full legislative bill.

This joint resolution would block the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau from withdrawing a 2022 rule that required credit reporting agencies to conduct reasonable investigations into consumer disputes about their credit reports. The resolution uses Congress's authority under federal law to disapprove regulations, effectively nullifying the CFPB's decision to rescind the consumer protection measure. If approved by both chambers and signed into law, the rule requiring investigation of disputes would remain in effect, preventing credit bureaus from simply dismissing consumer challenges to inaccurate information. This resolution primarily affects credit reporting agencies like Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, as well as consumers who may have disputes on their credit files. The measure was introduced in May 2026 and referred to the House Financial Services Committee, with no specific funding requirements or implementation timeline specified in the legislation.

The Improving Access to Financial Coaching Act of 2026 directs the Treasury Department's Office of Consumer Policy to establish a grant program that provides funding to nonprofit organizations, community development financial institutions, and minority-owned banks to offer financial coaching services to consumers. The bill aims to help low- and moderate-income households improve their financial stability, reduce debt, build savings, and access responsible credit through trained financial coaches who provide culturally competent guidance. Eligible organizations must have been operating for at least one year and serve low-income areas or communities with high rates of non-English speakers, and they can use grant funds either for their own coaching programs or to award subgrants to other qualified providers. The legislation authorizes $100 million in funding over three fiscal years (2026 through 2028), with 55 percent allocated to direct coaching services and 45 percent for subgrants and technical assistance. The Treasury Department must also work to develop standardized certification and credentialing practices for financial coaches and the agencies that employ them.

This resolution designates April 10 as "Dolores Huerta Day" to honor the labor and civil rights activist who was born on that date in 1930. Dolores Huerta co-founded the National Farm Workers Association and was instrumental in organizing major grape worker strikes and boycotts in the 1960s and 1970s that resulted in better working conditions and the nation's first agricultural labor relations law in California. Beyond farm worker organizing, she championed women's rights within the labor movement, originated the phrase "Si Se Puede," and later worked to increase Latino and women representation in political office. The resolution recognizes her numerous honors, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012 and induction into the National Women's Hall of Fame, as well as her continued work through the Dolores Huerta Foundation. This is a symbolic resolution with no funding or implementation requirements, merely expressing the House's support for the designation and recognition of her contributions to civil rights and equality.

H.Res. 1149 is a congressional resolution supporting Social Work Month and World Social Work Day on March 17, 2026. The resolution recognizes the contributions of approximately 728,000 social workers currently employed in the United States and acknowledges their essential roles in addressing mental health, substance abuse, poverty, homelessness, and other critical social issues across diverse settings including hospitals, schools, disaster relief agencies, and veterans' services. The resolution emphasizes that social workers have historically been leaders in promoting social justice, voting rights, and workplace safety, and notes that the profession is among the fastest-growing in America with an expected 800,000 workers by 2033, though current demand still exceeds supply due to the growing mental health crisis. The House of Representatives formally supports the goals and ideals of this observance, expresses gratitude for social workers' contributions, and encourages public awareness activities and ceremonies to highlight the integral role social workers play in strengthening communities. This is a symbolic resolution with no funding or specific legislative requirements—it serves to recognize and honor the profession rather than enact policy changes.

The Affordable Housing Supply Chain Clarity Act directs the Department of Housing and Urban Development to review how the "Build America, Buy America" law applies to the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, which funds affordable housing development across the country. Within 180 days of the bill's passage, HUD must complete this review and then issue updated guidance within 90 days explaining how the domestic purchasing requirements work for affordable housing projects. The bill requires HUD to submit a full report to Congress within 270 days describing the review results and new guidance. This legislation aims to clear up confusion among housing developers and local governments about which American-made materials and products they must use when building affordable housing with federal funding, reducing delays and uncertainty in housing construction projects.

The Restoring Community Trust Act of 2026 would repeal a 1996 federal law that currently prohibits states and local governments from restricting their employees' ability to share immigration status information with federal immigration authorities. By repealing this requirement, the bill would allow states and localities to set their own policies on whether and when to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, giving them more control over how their police departments, schools, and other agencies handle immigration-related information. The bill's supporters argue this change respects constitutional limits on federal power over state operations and would help rebuild trust between immigrant communities and local institutions like law enforcement, which they contend is necessary for public safety and emergency response. The legislation does not prevent states from voluntarily sharing information with federal immigration authorities if they choose to do so, nor does it limit the federal government's own immigration enforcement powers. The bill was introduced on January 27, 2026, and referred to the House Judiciary Committee.

H.R. 6772 directs the Comptroller General (the federal government's chief auditor) to study whether creating a single national building code for residential construction could help address affordable housing challenges. Within one year of the law's enactment, the Comptroller General must report to Congress on how a uniform federal building code might affect construction timelines, costs, and housing quality compared to the current system where states and local governments set their own building standards. The bill doesn't establish a new code or require any changes; it simply requires research into whether standardizing building rules across the country could speed up construction approvals, lower building costs, and improve access to affordable housing. This affects housing developers, local governments, and anyone struggling with housing affordability.

The D-BLOC Act restricts railroad carriers from blocking highway-rail crossings for more than 10 minutes, with limited exceptions for emergencies, accidents, safety compliance, and other operational necessities. If a crossing is blocked excessively three or more times within 30 days, the Federal Railroad Administration will investigate the cause and can impose civil penalties on the railroad 60 days after notification, though penalties don't apply if no alternate route exists within half a mile or if a grade separation project is already funded and planned. The bill requires railroads to maintain records of blocked crossing incidents, publish links to a federal blocked crossing reporting portal on their websites within 60 days, designate a point of contact for blocked crossing complaints that must verify reports within 14 days, and respond to community reports promptly. The law does not apply to Amtrak or commuter rail services, and it establishes the current federal blocked crossing portal as a permanent reporting mechanism rather than a temporary initiative.

Protect Older Job Applicants Act of 2025 or the POJA Act of 2025This bill prohibits employers from limiting, segregating, or classifying job applicants based on an applicant's age. It also requires the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to study and report on claims received from job applicants involving age discrimination.

This bill restricts the detention of pregnant, lactating, and postpartum women in immigration custody and prohibits the use of physical restraints on them. Under the law, the Department of Homeland Security must release pregnant individuals immediately upon discovery of pregnancy, except in extraordinary circumstances where a person poses an immediate serious risk to others and no alternative detention program can address that risk. If detention is necessary to carry out deportation, pregnant individuals may only be held for up to five days in temporary housing. The bill also establishes comprehensive requirements for humane treatment, including prohibitions on most restraint types, access to full reproductive healthcare services, privacy protections during medical exams and childbirth, and mandatory staff training. Facility administrators must submit quarterly reports on pregnant detainees, restraint use, and pregnancy outcomes, with the Department of Homeland Security publishing aggregated annual reports to Congress. The bill applies to all federal, state, local, and privately operated detention facilities holding immigrants under federal authority but does not specify additional funding sources.

The Extreme Heat Emergency Act of 2025 would amend federal disaster relief law to officially recognize extreme heat as a major disaster, allowing communities experiencing dangerous heat events to access federal emergency assistance. Currently, extreme heat is not included in the definition of a major disaster under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, which limits the federal aid available to affected areas. By adding extreme heat to the law's definition—placing it alongside other recognized disasters like drought—the bill would enable states and local governments to request and receive federal funding, resources, and support during severe heat events. The legislation would affect communities nationwide, particularly those in hot climates or experiencing heat waves, and would expand eligibility for disaster relief programs already funded through existing federal emergency appropriations. The bill does not specify new funding amounts but would direct existing disaster relief resources to heat-related emergencies.

H.Res. 326 is a symbolic resolution that designates April 10 as "Dolores Huerta Day" to honor the legacy of the pioneering labor and civil rights activist. The resolution recognizes Huerta's decades of work organizing farm workers, including her cofounding of the United Farm Workers Union with César Chávez, her leadership of successful grape boycotts that improved working conditions, and her role in securing the California Agricultural Labor Relations Act of 1975—the first law allowing farm workers to collectively bargain. Beyond labor organizing, the resolution acknowledges Huerta's advocacy for women's rights, her popularization of the phrase "Sí Se Puede," and her later efforts to increase Latino and women representation in political office. The resolution carries no funding or enforcement mechanism; it simply expresses the House's support for recognizing April 10, Huerta's birthday, as a day to honor her contributions to American civil rights and equality.

H.Res. 275 is a House resolution expressing support for Social Work Month and World Social Work Day on March 18, 2025. The resolution recognizes the contributions of approximately 728,000 social workers in the United States who provide essential mental health, behavioral health, and social services across hospitals, schools, government agencies, community centers, and other settings. The measure highlights social workers' critical roles in addressing mental health crises, supporting veterans and families, assisting disaster victims, combating homelessness and poverty, and promoting social justice. The resolution contains no funding or specific timelines beyond recognizing the March 18 observance, but it encourages Americans to participate in awareness activities and acknowledges the anticipated growth of the profession, with employment expected to exceed 800,000 by 2033. This is a symbolic gesture to honor the social work profession and call attention to the need for greater investment in recruiting and retaining social workers.

This resolution condemns eight House Republican leaders for allowing their party's political organization to post xenophobic content on social media attacking Congressman Adriano Espaillat, the Chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Specifically, the post questioned Espaillat's immigration status and patriotism despite his being a legally naturalized U.S. citizen and elected member of Congress. The resolution, sponsored by over 80 Democratic representatives, argues that such anti-immigrant rhetoric violates the oath of office and degrades the discourse of the House. The condemned leaders include Speaker Mike Johnson, Majority Leader Steve Scalise, Majority Whip Tom Emmer, and other senior Republican officials. The resolution is a formal expression of disapproval with no binding legal consequences and was referred to the House Ethics Committee.

Women Veterans Cancer Care Coordination ActThis bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to hire or designate a Regional Breast Cancer and Gynecologic Cancer Care Coordinator for each Veteran Integrated Services Network (i.e., regional VA health care administrative areas). Among other duties, such coordinators must ensure the coordination of care between VA clinicians and breast and gynecologic cancer community care providers.Under the bill, veterans are eligible for such care coordination if they are diagnosed with a breast or gynecologic condition and are eligible for health care through the Veterans Community Care Program.

American Dream and Promise Act of 2025 This bill provides certain non-U.S. nationals (aliens under federal law) with a path to receive permanent resident status and contains other immigration-related provisions.The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or the Department of Justice (DOJ) shall provide conditional permanent resident status for 10 years to a qualifying individual who entered the United States as a minor and (1) is deportable or inadmissible, (2) has deferred enforced departure (DED) status or temporary protected status (TPS), or (3) is the child of certain classes of nonimmigrants. The bill imposes various qualifying requirements, such as the individual being continuously physically present in the United States since January 1, 2021, passing a background check, and being enrolled in or having completed certain educational programs.DHS shall remove the conditions placed on permanent resident status granted under this bill if the individual applies and meets certain requirements, such as completing certain programs at an educational institution, serving in the military, or being employed.Furthermore, DHS or DOJ shall provide lawful permanent resident status to certain individuals who had TPS, were eligible for TPS, or were eligible for DED status on certain dates. Such individuals must meet certain requirements and apply for such status within three years of this bill's enactment.This bill also repeals a restriction that bars a state from providing higher education benefits to undocumented individuals unless those benefits are available to all U.S. nationals without regard to residency in the state.
