This bill prohibits federal agencies from overriding state and local zoning, land-use, and permitting decisions for data centers built on privately owned land. It also prevents the federal government from conditioning federal funding for data centers on states or localities giving up their authority to regulate where these facilities can be located. The legislation is designed to preserve local control over how communities develop and use land for data center projects, preventing the federal government from forcing communities to accept data centers against their local wishes. The bill does not include specific funding allocations or implementation timelines, and it applies only to data centers on non-federal property, leaving federal land subject to different rules.

This bill prohibits Members of Congress from signing nondisclosure agreements that would restrict their access to or ability to discuss information about data center planning and development. The restrictions apply to NDAs imposed by state and local governments or private companies in exchange for information about data centers, including details about investments, locations, construction designs, and resource consumption. The legislation also prevents federal funds from being used to implement or enforce such NDAs against members of Congress. The House and Senate Ethics Committees are tasked with writing regulations to carry out this prohibition. The bill effectively ensures that congressional members can access and speak publicly about data center information without being bound by confidentiality agreements.

The Safe Baby Formula Act of 2026 directs the Department of Health and Human Services to establish safety standards limiting toxic metals—arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead—in infant formula sold in the United States. Within 90 days of the law's enactment, the Secretary must set evidence-based action levels for these substances, taking into account both the feasibility of compliance for manufacturers and the department's ability to enforce the standards. Additionally, the Secretary must complete a comprehensive study within one year examining how these toxic metals in infant formula affect infant health. The bill applies to all infant formula products, whether domestically produced or imported, and requires the department to consider the impact on food security when setting the standards. No specific funding amount is allocated in the legislation itself, though implementation would be managed by existing departmental resources.

The Healthy Commissaries, Healthy Families Act requires the Defense Commissary Agency to establish a program to increase the availability and affordability of healthy foods at military commissaries across the United States. The bill affects military families who shop at commissaries by expanding their access to nutritious food options and incorporating partnerships with local farmers and farmers markets. Within 180 days of enactment, the Secretary of Defense must submit a comprehensive plan to Congress (developed with input from the Departments of Health and Human Services and Agriculture) that outlines strategies to improve healthy food availability, engage local agricultural producers, and provide nutrition education to military families. The legislation creates a dedicated Director of Healthy Foods position and requires the three departments to establish joint procedures for coordinating procurement, sharing best practices, and conducting community outreach around military commissaries. The bill establishes various reporting requirements through 2030, with an implementation report due one year after the initial plan is submitted to Congress.

The Know What's on the Tray Act of 2026 requires schools that participate in federal school lunch and breakfast programs to publish detailed information about their menu items on school or district websites at least seven days before serving them. The required information includes the name of each food item, a complete ingredient list, the manufacturer or producer, where the food is made, and whether it is locally sourced or from a family farm. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has 180 days after the bill becomes law to issue regulations to help schools comply with these requirements. The new rules apply to all schools participating in the federal lunch and breakfast programs starting with the school year that begins at least 18 months after enactment. This bill aims to give parents and students greater transparency about what foods are being served in school cafeterias.

This bill encourages local school districts to provide students with at least 60 minutes of physical activity daily during the regular school day, including structured physical education classes and unstructured recess time. The legislation amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to allow schools receiving federal Title I funding to adopt this policy and count activities like recess and PE toward the goal. According to the bill, research shows that regular physical activity improves student attention, behavior, academic performance, and reduces classroom disruptions, while also addressing rising childhood obesity rates and related health problems. The bill does not establish a mandate or specify funding, but rather encourages schools to incorporate this practice into their plans if they determine it appropriate for their students. Congress cites data showing that 21 percent of American youth were obese between 2021 and 2023, and that recess time has declined significantly, particularly in lower-income school districts.

The Campaign Accountability and Parity Act, or CAP Act, would amend federal election law to impose spending limits on candidates running for the U.S. House of Representatives. Specifically, the bill would cap how much money a candidate's campaign committee can spend in a year at an amount equal to the average annual Members' Representational Allowance that House members receive for official duties. This allowance covers expenses like maintaining district offices and staff. The bill would apply to all candidates for House seats, including delegates and resident commissioners. The legislation does not specify any dedicated funding for implementation, as it primarily restricts campaign spending rather than allocates government funds, and it would take effect upon passage with limits applying to expenditures in subsequent years.

The Outside Influence Prevention Act would require that at least half of the funds used for independent political expenditures in congressional races come from contributors living in the state where the money is being spent. The bill modifies federal election law to apply this requirement to political committees that make only independent expenditures, such as Super PACs, when they spend money on House races or races for Delegates or Resident Commissioners. The legislation is designed to reduce the influence of out-of-state money in congressional elections by ensuring that independent political spending is largely funded by local contributors. The bill does not specify any particular funding amounts or implementation timeline beyond requiring compliance with the new sourcing requirement.

This bill requires the Secretary of Defense to develop and submit a comprehensive plan to the Armed Services Committees within 180 days for deploying Airborne Collision Avoidance System-X (ACAS-X) technology across military aircraft. The plan must include a strategic roadmap for widespread adoption, identify necessary research and funding to complete development and certification, assess safety benefits, and address how the system will work with existing aircraft communication equipment like ADS-B systems used by both fixed-wing and rotorcraft operators. The Secretary is also required to brief Congress within 30 days of submitting the plan and may take steps to implement the plan as appropriate. This legislation affects military aviation operations and safety by directing the Department of Defense to establish a clear path for integrating next-generation collision avoidance technology into the military's aircraft fleet.

This bill designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 117 West Lovett Street in Charlotte, Michigan, as the "Francis C. Flaherty Post Office Building".

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would give Congress and state legislatures the power to regulate and limit campaign contributions and spending in elections and ballot initiatives. The amendment would allow the federal government and states to distinguish between individual donors and corporations or other artificial entities, potentially enabling restrictions on corporate and organizational campaign spending that current Supreme Court rulings have prevented. The proposed amendment emphasizes that the people have compelling interests in free speech, representative government, electoral integrity, and political equality. To become part of the Constitution, the amendment would require approval by two-thirds of both the House and Senate, followed by ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures within seven years of submission. This proposal directly addresses concerns about the influence of unlimited money in politics, particularly following court decisions that have struck down campaign finance restrictions.

H.Res. 1334 is a symbolic resolution that reaffirms Congress's support for the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. The resolution does not make any changes to law or policy, but rather expresses the House of Representatives' commitment to this language as a reflection of American founding principles and values. The resolution traces the history of the phrase, noting that it was added to the Pledge in 1954 during the Cold War to distinguish America from the Soviet Union, and argues that the phrase symbolizes the belief that individual rights come from a higher authority rather than government alone. There is no funding associated with this resolution, and it has no direct impact on any specific group, as recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance remains voluntary for all Americans.

This bill requires the Secretary of Defense to study military members who separated from the Armed Forces due to the COVID-19 vaccination mandate and examine how education benefits were affected. The study must track how many service members refused the vaccine, were denied religious exemptions, separated as a result, and whether they had transferred education benefits to family members before leaving. The Secretary must submit a detailed report to Congress within 180 days that breaks down the data by military branch, rank, years of service, and discharge type, and must make the report publicly available within 60 days of submission. The bill also requires the report to analyze the budget impact of allowing dependents to use education benefits even if the service member didn't complete enough years of service to unlock them, and to include recommendations for supporting these separated veterans.

This joint resolution authorizes the President to use U.S. military force against Iran's government to dismantle its nuclear weapons program, address imminent threats to American forces, enforce a blockade of Iranian ports, and ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. The authorization comes after the President conducted military action against Iran on February 28, 2026, and reported it to Congress under the War Powers Resolution, which required congressional approval within 60 days. The bill prohibits sustained ground combat operations, occupation of Iranian territory, and nation-building efforts, though it allows limited exceptions for rescuing Americans and intelligence activities. The President must submit reports to Congress every 30 days describing military operations, their legal basis, expected duration, and casualty assessments. The authorization automatically expires on July 30, 2026, with an additional 30-day period permitted solely to wind down military operations.

This bill would exempt stinger-steered combination trucks from federal requirements to display warning flags on projecting loads. Stinger-steered combinations are specialized auto-transport trailers commonly used to carry assembled vehicles like cars and trucks. The exemption applies specifically when these vehicles are transporting assembled highway vehicles. The bill requires the Secretary of Transportation to update federal safety regulations to reflect this exemption and allows the department to make this change without going through the standard public notice-and-comment rulemaking process. There is no new funding or specific timeline mentioned beyond requiring the regulatory change to occur "as soon as practicable."

This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would automatically expire any congressional authorization for military force outside the United States after five years, unless Congress explicitly extends it or unless the authorization itself contains an earlier expiration date. The amendment would apply only to military actions that do not have a formal declaration of war, meaning it targets the broad authorizations Congress has granted for operations like those in Iraq, Afghanistan, and against terrorist organizations. The proposal affects the executive branch's ability to conduct long-term military operations and requires Congress to periodically vote to reauthorize such military actions rather than allowing them to continue indefinitely. For the amendment to take effect, it must be approved by two-thirds of both the House and Senate, then ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures within seven years. This would fundamentally change how the United States manages military commitments abroad by forcing regular congressional reconsideration of ongoing military operations.

The Prevent Endless Wars Act would restrict congressional procedures for authorizing military force by prohibiting any military authorization that lasts longer than five years or has no set expiration date from receiving expedited review in Congress. Currently, when the President requests approval to use military force, Congress can use special priority procedures to quickly debate and vote on the request. This bill would prevent those fast-track procedures from applying to open-ended military authorizations, effectively requiring Congress to use standard legislative processes for such requests. The change would apply to any new military authorizations introduced after the bill becomes law and is intended to ensure that military operations receive regular congressional oversight rather than operating indefinitely under decades-old authorizations. This legislation addresses concerns about prolonged military commitments that lack clear time limits or strategic end goals.

This bill amends the War Powers Resolution to modernize procedures for congressional action on military deployments. Currently, Congress can use concurrent resolutions to direct the President to remove armed forces from hostilities abroad, but this bill adds joint resolutions as an alternative method. The change matters because joint resolutions require the President's signature to become law, whereas concurrent resolutions do not, making them subject to presidential veto. When a joint resolution is vetoed, the bill limits floor debate time to 20 hours in each chamber before Congress can vote to override the veto. The legislation affects Congress and the President by establishing clearer, faster procedures for Congress to act on military operations that lack a formal declaration of war, streamlining what has been a contentious constitutional power between the branches.

The Cold War Military Force Repeal Act would repeal the joint resolution known as Public Law 85-7, which was originally enacted to promote peace and stability in the Middle East. This 1958 resolution, also known as the Eisenhower Doctrine, authorized the president to provide military and economic assistance to Middle Eastern countries and to use armed forces in the region to counter communist aggression. The bill would eliminate this decades-old authorization, removing the legal basis for military intervention in the Middle East under this specific resolution. The legislation was introduced by Representatives Barrett and Golden of Maine and was referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. No specific funding amounts or implementation timelines are included in the bill text.

This bill requires the Department of Defense to regularly test and certify the aircraft transponder systems that military planes use to broadcast their location and identification while flying in U.S. airspace. The Defense Secretary must establish uniform testing standards and conduct certification checks at least every 90 days on all military aircraft operating domestically. The bill affects military aviation operations and aims to ensure these aircraft are properly equipped for safe sharing of U.S. airspace with commercial and civilian flights. The Defense Secretary must report to Congress every six months for two years detailing the testing results and any system failures, while the Pentagon's Inspector General will audit compliance and recommend whether to continue these requirements beyond the two-year period. The bill essentially mandates stricter oversight of military aircraft safety systems to prevent mid-air collisions and operational hazards.

The Stop ACA Enrollment Fraud Act of 2026 amends the Affordable Care Act to combat fraud in health insurance marketplaces. The bill requires the federal government to establish a system within 60 days to detect and prevent duplicate enrollments by checking whether applicants' Social Security numbers match other enrollees in the same time period, ensuring people cannot fraudulently receive tax credits for multiple health plans. Additionally, starting January 1, 2027, the bill mandates that enrollments made through insurance agents or brokers in the individual and small group markets must include direct, verified consent from the actual applicant or employer—meaning brokers cannot simply attest that they have consent on behalf of their clients. These changes affect individuals and small employers purchasing health insurance through the ACA exchanges, as well as the agents and brokers who help enroll them. The legislation aims to reduce fraudulent claims on federal premium tax credits by closing loopholes that allow multiple concurrent enrollments and unauthorized enrollments by brokers.

The Care Over Profits Act of 2026 makes two main changes to health insurance regulations. First, it increases the medical loss ratio requirement for individual and small group health insurance plans from 80% to 85%, meaning insurance companies must spend a larger share of premium dollars on actual medical care rather than administrative costs and profits, effective January 1, 2026. Second, the bill cracks down on fraudulent enrollment in health insurance by imposing significant penalties on insurance agents and brokers who provide incorrect or false information during enrollment, including civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $50,000 for negligent violations and up to $200,000 for knowing and willful violations, plus criminal penalties of up to 10 years in prison for intentional fraud, effective January 1, 2027. The legislation targets dishonest enrollment practices while requiring insurers to allocate more revenue toward patient care, affecting individuals seeking health coverage through exchanges and the insurance industry broadly.

The First Look for First-time Homebuyers Act of 2026 requires federal housing agencies—including the Federal Housing Administration, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Department of Agriculture—to give first-time homebuyers an exclusive 15-day window to purchase foreclosed properties before they can be sold to other buyers. During this period, properties must be priced at fair market value based on independent appraisals or the agency's disclosed valuation method, listed on a public website clearly marked as first-time-buyer-only, and cannot be bundled together for sale. The legislation affects only single-family residential properties with one to four units and excludes properties in the Good Neighbor Next Door Program. Each covered agency must report to Congress every six months on the number of offers and sales to first-time buyers, pricing information, and compliance; inspectors general must also conduct annual audits and publish results publicly. Agencies have one year from the bill's enactment to issue rules implementing the program, with the requirement taking effect 30 days after the final rules are issued.

The Take Your Rate Act of 2026 requires the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Federal Housing Finance Agency to jointly study whether mortgages backed by the federal government could be made "portable," meaning borrowers could keep their mortgage terms when moving to a new home instead of refinancing. The study must examine the feasibility of portable mortgages, their effects on the housing market, necessary regulatory changes, how many current borrowers would benefit, budgetary impacts on the federal government, and risks to mortgage programs and federal agencies. The study should also consider whether a limited demonstration program would be helpful and provide alternative solutions if portability proves infeasible. The two agencies must submit their findings and policy recommendations to Congress within 180 days of the bill's enactment, and may consult with mortgage lenders, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the VA, USDA, and other relevant agencies during their research. The bill does not allocate specific funding amounts for the study.

This bill directs the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to study whether the Federal Housing Administration can eliminate down payment requirements for first-time homebuyers who are first responders or school teachers. The bill specifically asks HUD to examine the feasibility, costs, and potential impact on the FHA's mortgage insurance fund, as well as what premium rates would be needed to keep such a program financially sustainable. HUD must also explore whether elements of the Veterans Affairs Home Loan Program could be incorporated into any new program design, and if the proposal is not feasible, recommend alternative solutions. The Secretary must submit this report to Congress within 180 days of the bill's enactment. The legislation defines first responders as full-time law enforcement officers, firefighters, paramedics, and emergency medical technicians employed by federal, state, tribal, or local governments, and school teachers as full-time educators at accredited pre-kindergarten through 12th grade institutions.
