H.R. 10128 was introduced on August 20, 2026 by Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA-5) with no cosponsors. The text for this legislation has not yet been released. A summary will be generated when there is text available.

This bill exchanges administrative jurisdiction over specified parcels of federal land between Yosemite National Park and Stanislaus National Forest in California.By way of background, cattle are grazing on the land currently managed by the National Park Service. However, grazing on federal lands primarily occurs on lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management or the Forest Service. The transfer would allow the land with cattle grazing to be managed by the Forest Service, which has a multiple-use management plan that is consistent with grazing.

This bill modifies the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to establish new procedures for how Congress considers annual spending bills. In the Senate, the bill would limit debate on appropriation bills to no more than 20 hours total, matching the procedures already used for budget resolutions. In the House, the bill would prevent lawmakers from taking extended breaks in July until the House has approved all regular appropriation bills for the upcoming fiscal year, though it excludes continuing resolutions that keep the government temporarily funded. The bill does not establish new funding or contain specific timelines beyond restricting July recesses. The legislation was introduced in April 2026 with four sponsors and was referred to the House Rules and Budget committees for consideration.

Shut Down Sanctuary Policies Act of 2026This bill addresses issues related to state and local government cooperation with federal immigration enforcement efforts, including by prohibiting limitations on cooperation, revising detainer authority, and restricting funding for certain jurisdictions.Federal, state, and local government entities, including personnel, must be allowed to (1) comply with or enforce immigration laws or cooperate with immigration enforcement efforts, or (2) inquire about an individual's immigration status. Currently, such government entities must be allowed to share immigration-related information with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).DHS must issue a detainer for individuals arrested for any criminal or motor vehicle offense if DHS has probable cause that they are inadmissible or deportable.Jurisdictions not in compliance with this bill, as determined by DHS, are ineligible for certain funding for law enforcement or immigration. This funding must be reallocated to jurisdictions that are in compliance.The bill also creates a private right of action for victims of certain crimes to bring against a state or local government that, for example, released the individual who was convicted of the crime despite a detainer.The bill provides federal immunity for officials and entities in compliance with the bill and removal to federal court for related prosecutions.DHS may decline transfer of an individual in its custody if the requesting jurisdiction is not in compliance with this bill. DHS is prohibited from transferring an individual with a final order of removal.

H.R. 5437, the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Stone Slab Products Act, would prohibit lawsuits against manufacturers and sellers of stone slab products (such as quartz countertops) for injuries that result from how a third-party fabricator alters the product. The bill specifically targets cases where workers claim injury from silica dust exposure during fabrication, arguing that manufacturers and sellers have no control over how fabricators handle the material and therefore should not be held liable for workplace injuries caused by fabricators' actions or non-compliance with safety regulations. The legislation would dismiss any pending lawsuits of this type that are currently in federal or state courts. Congress frames this as protecting a lawful industry that employs tens of thousands of Americans from what it characterizes as frivolous litigation, while leaving workplace safety regulations governing fabricators themselves intact.

H.R. 4041 would streamline forest management in Yosemite National Park by exempting certain activities from standard environmental review requirements under federal law. Specifically, the bill would allow the National Park Service to plan and carry out fuel removal (such as brush clearing) and reforestation projects without preparing detailed environmental assessments or impact statements that normally precede such work. This exemption applies only to these two categories of forest management activities and would speed up their implementation. The bill does not specify funding amounts or implementation timelines. The exemption would primarily affect National Park Service operations and potentially the pace at which fire prevention and forest restoration work can proceed in the park.

The Open America's Waters Act repeals restrictions under the Jones Act that limit which vessels can engage in coastwise trade—the transport of cargo between U.S. ports. Currently, the Jones Act requires that only vessels built in the U.S., owned by Americans, and crewed by Americans can legally carry goods along the American coast; this bill removes those nationality and ownership requirements, allowing foreign vessels to participate in domestic coastal shipping. The legislation affects shipping companies, vessel operators, and cargo industries that move goods between American ports, potentially lowering transportation costs by increasing competition. The U.S. Coast Guard must issue new safety and security regulations within 90 days to ensure all vessels operating in coastwise trade meet appropriate standards. The bill includes several conforming amendments to remove references to outdated restrictions in maritime law.

H.J.Res. 99 proposes a constitutional amendment that would change how new states can be admitted to the United States. Currently, the Constitution allows Congress to admit new states by simple majority vote in each chamber, but this amendment would require a two-thirds majority in both the House and Senate instead. The amendment would affect any future effort to add states to the union, making the process more difficult by requiring a larger consensus. If approved by Congress and ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures, the amendment would become part of the Constitution. The resolution was introduced in June 2025 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee.

H.R. 2566, introduced in April 2025, would eliminate the federal tax credit for electric vehicle purchases by repealing Section 30D of the Internal Revenue Code. This credit currently allows eligible buyers to claim up to $7,500 in tax benefits when purchasing new electric vehicles, reducing the out-of-pocket cost for consumers. The bill would affect anyone considering an electric vehicle purchase going forward, as the tax incentive would no longer be available for vehicles placed in service after the law takes effect. The legislation includes various technical amendments to remove related provisions from the tax code that reference the eliminated credit. If enacted, this would represent a significant shift in federal policy away from subsidizing electric vehicle adoption.

Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians Land Transfer Act of 2025This bill takes approximately 204.14 acres of specified lands in El Dorado County, California, into trust for the benefit of the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians.The bill revokes a specified public land order and administratively transfers the land from the Forest Service to the Department of the Interior. (In the public land order, the land was designated for use by the Forest Service as an experiment station.)The bill directs Interior to take the following lands into trust for the benefit of the tribe: (1) approximately 85.3 acres of federal land managed by Interior's Bureau of Land Management (which includes the land transferred from the Forest Service), and (2) approximately 118.84 acres of fee land held by the tribe. These combined lands, approximately 204.14 acres, shall be part of the tribe's reservation. Further, the bill prohibits gaming on the land taken into trust.

H.Res. 166 is a symbolic congressional resolution expressing support for the Iranian people's desire for a democratic, secular government without nuclear weapons, while condemning the current Iranian regime. The resolution criticizes the Iranian government for terrorism, regional proxy warfare, nuclear weapons development in violation of international agreements, and widespread human rights abuses including executions, suppression of women and ethnic minorities, and persecution of political dissidents. The resolution endorses Maryam Rajavi's Ten-Point Plan for Iran's future, which calls for democratic elections, separation of religion and state, and nuclear disarmament, and specifically asks the U.S. government and Albania to protect Iranian political refugees at Ashraf 3 in Albania from regime targeting. This resolution carries no funding or legal requirements—it is a statement of congressional opinion that was introduced with bipartisan sponsorship from over 100 House members across both parties.

H.R. 1133 would eliminate Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), a federal program that has provided funding to cities, counties, and states since 1974 for local infrastructure, housing, economic development, and social services projects. The bill would repeal the primary sections of the Housing and Community Development Act that authorize these grants, effectively ending the program. This would affect thousands of communities across the country that rely on this federal funding for local development projects. The legislation would take effect on October 1, 2025, giving communities a limited transition period before the grants are eliminated. The bill includes no replacement funding or alternative support mechanisms for the affected local governments and nonprofits that currently depend on these grants.

Law Enforcement Officer Recreation Pass ActThis bill directs the Forest Service and the Department of the Interior to make the National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass available, without charge and for the lifetime of the passholder, to law enforcement officers.

Action Versus No Action ActThis bill limits the scope of an environmental assessment (EA) or environmental impact statement (EIS) conducted under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 for forest management activity on certain public lands to only the following two alternatives: (1) the effects of the forest management activity, and (2) no action.The bill applies to any EA or EIS prepared by the Forest Service or the Department of the Interior for a forest management activity on public land that is suitable for timber production and thatoccurs on land designated as an insect and disease treatment area under the Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003,is developed through a collaborative process,is proposed by a resource advisory committee, oris covered by a community wildfire protection plan.In the case of the alternative of no action, the Forest Service or Interior must consider whether to evaluatethe effect of no action on forest health, potential losses of life and property, habitat diversity, wildfire potential, insect and disease potential, and timber production; andthe implications of a resulting decline in forest health, loss of habitat diversity, wildfire, or insect or disease infestation on potential losses of life and property, domestic water supply in the project area, wildlife habitat loss, and other economic and social factors.

Consequences for Social Security Fraud ActThis bill adds additional criminal offences to the grounds upon which a non-U.S. national (alien under federal law) may be barred from admission into the United States or deported. Specifically, an individual who has been convicted of, or admits to committing, Social Security fraud, identification document fraud, or fraud related to COVID-19 financial assistance programs is inadmissible or deportable under the bill.

Deport Alien Gang Members ActThis bill makes non-U.S. nationals (aliens under federal law) associated with criminal gangs inadmissible for entry into the United States and deportable. The bill also establishes procedures to designate groups as criminal gangs.An individual shall be inadmissible if certain officers or agencies know or have reason to believe that the individual is or was a criminal gang member or has participated or aided such a group's illegal activities. An individual who is or was a member of such a gang, has participated or aided such a group's illegal activities, or seeks to enter or has entered the United States in furtherance of such activity shall be deportable.Such individuals must be subject to mandatory detention. Furthermore, such individuals shall not be eligible for (1) asylum; (2) temporary protected status; (3) special immigrant juvenile visas; or (4) parole, unless they are assisting the government in a law enforcement matter.The bill defines a criminal gang as a group of five or more persons (1) where one of its primary purposes is committing specified criminal offenses and its members have engaged in a continuing series of such offenses within the past five years, or (2) that has been designated as a criminal gang by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).The bill also establishes procedures for DHS to designate a group as a criminal gang, including notifying Congress, publishing a notice in the Federal Register, and providing an opportunity for the group to petition for review of the designation.

No Immigration Benefits for Hamas Terrorists ActThis bill imposes immigration-related penalties on certain non-U.S. nationals (aliens under federal law) who are involved with terrorism or attacks against Israel.Under this bill, members of Palestinian Islamic Jihad or Hamas or individuals who participated in or otherwise facilitated the October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel may not be admitted into the United States.The bill also expands an existing admissions bar against officers, representatives, and spokespersons of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). Under this bill, all PLO members are barred from admission into the United States.The bill also prohibits any non-U.S. national who participated in or otherwise facilitated the October 7, 2023, attacks from seeking any immigration-related relief or protections, including (1) protection from being deported to a country where the individual's life or freedom would be threatened, or (2) asylum in the United States.The Department of Homeland Security must annually report to Congress the number of individuals found to be inadmissible or deportable due to their participation in or facilitation of the attacks.

Yosemite National Park Equal Access and Fairness ActThis bill modifies the Raker Act, which allowed San Francisco to dam the Hetch Hetchy Valley within Yosemite National Park, to (1) increase the annual rent San Francisco pays to the National Park Service (NPS), and (2) direct the NPS to expand public access to the reservoir and lake created by the dam.Specifically, the bill increases rent paid by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission for the use of the park from $30,000 to $2 million per year. That amount must be adjusted annually to reflect increases in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers. The commission may not recoup such sums from wholesale water or power customers. The bill allows collected rent to be used by the Department of the Interior for wildfire mitigation activities in the park and other national parks in California.The bill also requires the NPS to administer the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir and Lake Eleanor Basin areas for public recreation, benefit, and use in a manner that will preserve scenic, historic, scientific, or otherwise important features.

This bill sets out requirements for wildfire suppression and management activities carried out by the Forest Service.These requirements apply to Forest Service land that (1) has a severe, extreme, or exceptional drought intensity rating; (2) has a National Wildland Fire Preparedness level of 5 (i.e., the highest level of wildland fire activity); or (3) is located in a fireshed ranked in the top 10% of wildfire exposure.Within 24 hours of detecting a wildfire on such Forest Service land, the service must use all available resources to extinguish the wildfire. Additionally, the service may not inhibit the firefighting activities of state and local agencies that are authorized to respond to wildfires on the Forest Service land.Further, the service may only initiate a backfire or burnout as part of a fire suppression strategy if it is ordered by the responsible incident commander or is necessary to protect the health and safety of firefighting personnel. The service must use all available resources to control any initiated fire until it is extinguished.The bill also limits the service's use of prescribed fires (i.e., the controlled application of fire by a team of experts under specified weather conditions to restore health to ecosystems that depend on fire). When using prescribed fires as a fire resource management tool, the service must comply with applicable laws and regulations and immediately suppress any prescribed fire that exceeds its prescription.

Proven Forest Management Act of 2025This bill sets forth provisions to expedite the approval and implementation of forest management activities and establishes related requirements.First, the bill categorically excludes a forest management activity conducted on National Forest System land for reducing forest fuels from certain environmental review requirements under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 if the activity (1) does not exceed 10,000 acres (including not more than 3,000 acres of mechanical thinning), (2) is developed in a collaborative manner, and (3) is consistent with the forest plan developed for the relevant National Forest System land. Next, the bill directs the Forest Service to conduct forest management activities in a manner that attains multiple ecosystem benefits unless the costs associated with attaining such benefits are excessive.Additionally, the Forest Service must (1) establish any post-program ground condition criteria for a ground disturbance caused by a forest management activity required by the applicable forest plan, and (2) provide for monitoring to ascertain the attainment of relevant post-program conditions.The bill also allows the Forest Service or the Department of the Interior, as appropriate, to enter into contracts and cooperative agreements with certain entities to provide for fuel reduction, erosion control, reforestation, and similar activities on federal and nonfederal lands within land adjustment programs.Finally, the bill directs the Forest Service, when conducting a forest management activity on National Forest System land, to coordinate with impacted parties to increase efficiency and maximize the compatibility of management practices across such land.

Endangered Species Transparency and Reasonableness Act of 2025This bill modifies requirements concerning determinations on whether a species is a threatened or endangered species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA), caps attorney's fees to prevailing parties in ESA citizen suits, and makes related requirements.The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) must publish online, subject to privacy or administrative limitations, the best scientific and commercial data available that are the basis for each determination. The bill states that the term best scientific and commercial data available includes all data submitted by a state, tribal, or county government. Thus, such data is automatically deemed to be the best scientific and commercial data available. Before making a determination on whether a species is an endangered or threatened species, the FWS and NMFS must provide affected states with all of the data that is the basis of the determination.The Department of the Interior must also publish and maintain an online searchable database that discloses federal expenditures related to litigation under the ESA.

This bill requires naturally propagated animals (i.e., wild animals) and artificially propagated animals to be treated the same under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA). Specifically, distinctions between naturally propagated animals and artificially propagated animals may not be made when the federal government makes determinations under the ESA, such as determinations to designate endangered species, threatened species, or critical habitats. In addition, the bill requires the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service to authorize the use of artificial propagation of animals of a species when mitigation is required under the ESA. This bill applies to all endangered or threatened species regardless of when they were listed as endangered or threatened.

Default Prevention ActThis bill exempts certain obligations of the federal government from the statutory debt limit and establishes requirements for paying and prioritizing obligations after the debt limit is reached.If the debt limit is reached, the bill requires the Department of the Treasury to continue issuing debt and making payments necessary to (1) pay the principal and interest on debt held by the public, the Social Security trust funds, and the Medicare trust funds; and (2) pay Medicare benefits. The bill also exempts these obligations from the debt limit until the debt limit has been modified or suspended. The bill also establishes requirements for prioritizing the remaining obligations after the debt limit has been reached. Specifically, Treasury may notpay any remaining obligations unless it can still pay obligations of the Department of Defense and any obligations necessary to provide benefits under laws administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs;pay obligations related to the compensation of federal employees for official time; government travel for executive branch officers or employees; and the compensation of the President, the Vice President, and other members of the executive branch (other than individuals in the competitive service) unless all other obligations except for compensation of Members of Congress can still be paid; andcompensate Members of Congress unless all other obligations can still be paid.Finally, the bill requires Treasury to provide weekly reports to Congress regarding new debt issued and obligations that have been paid or not paid under the bill.

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that authorizes the President to use a line item veto to reduce an appropriation in a bill or joint resolution. Under the amendment, the President must notify Congress within 10 days of using this authority to reduce an appropriation. The House and Senate may then consider disapproval of the reduction. If at least two-thirds of each chamber of Congress votes to disapprove the reduction, the amount of the appropriation that is subject to the reduction must be returned to the amount that was originally presented to the President.

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that prohibits the U.S. government from increasing its debt except for a specific purpose by a law adopted by three-fourths of the membership of each chamber of Congress.
