This resolution honors small firearms manufacturers and their contributions to the American economy and culture. The measure recognizes that small businesses manufacturing handguns, rifles, shotguns, ammunition, and accessories support approximately 380,000 jobs across the broader firearms industry and generate over $91 billion in annual economic output, particularly in rural and small-town communities. The resolution celebrates shooting sports traditions including hunting, target shooting, and competitive marksmanship as time-honored recreational activities enjoyed by millions of Americans. The House of Representatives expresses support for policies that enable these small manufacturers to innovate and grow while preserving recreational shooting traditions. The resolution designates August 2026 as National Shooting Sports Month but contains no funding or enforcement mechanisms, as it is a ceremonial expression of congressional recognition.

The SERVE Act extends the cooling-off period that prevents former members of Congress from lobbying Congress. Currently, former senators cannot lobby Congress for two years and former House members for one year, but this bill increases both periods to ten years, meaning former lawmakers would be prohibited from engaging in lobbying activities on Capitol Hill for a decade after leaving office. The legislation also creates a new ten-year ban preventing former members of Congress from accepting compensation as federal contractors. These restrictions apply to anyone leaving office after the bill is enacted and are intended to reduce conflicts of interest and prevent former legislators from immediately capitalizing on their congressional connections for personal financial gain.

This bill requires the Small Business Administration to create and maintain a website within 60 days of enactment that provides resources and information to help small businesses move manufacturing operations back to the United States. The website will include contact information for relevant SBA offices and partner organizations, along with other guidance determined appropriate by the SBA's Office of Manufacturing and Trade. The legislation affects small manufacturing businesses considering relocating production domestically. The bill does not authorize any specific funding or establish a timeline beyond the initial 60-day deadline for website creation, though it does require the SBA to seek annual input from its Chief Counsel for Advocacy to improve and update the website's resources.

The REAL Butter Act would require clearer labeling of lab-created butter products to help consumers make informed choices. Under the bill, any butter product made through synthetic processes that don't use traditional agricultural sources of milk fat would need to be clearly labeled as "lab-created butter" or marked as "contains lab-created butter" on its packaging. This amendment to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act distinguishes lab-created butter from traditional butter, which must meet specific standards set by a 1923 federal law. The bill does not include specific funding or implementation timelines. Introduced in June 2026, the legislation was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

H.R. 8157 modernizes how the federal government oversees organic farming and food processing by shifting toward risk-based inspection protocols. The bill requires the Secretary of Agriculture to conduct a comprehensive study within 12 months examining whether oversight systems should prioritize inspections based on the actual risk a farm or handler poses to organic integrity, rather than applying uniform requirements to all operations. The study must consider factors like operation size, location, compliance history, and complexity, and must consult with the National Organic Standards Board, certifying agents, farmers, and consumers. Within 18 months, the Secretary must report findings to Congress and has authority to issue new regulations that could reduce oversight burdens on low-risk operations while focusing resources on higher-risk ones, such as allowing some U.S. operations to undergo virtual inspections instead of annual in-person visits if they pose lower risk. The bill affects organic farmers, food processors, and certification agencies nationwide and internationally, though it maintains that any reforms must preserve strong organic integrity protections.

The Securing Our Streets Act of 2026 creates a federal grant program administered by the Attorney General to provide $10 billion to states over five years (2027-2031) for constructing prisons, expanding jail capacity, and training correctional staff. To qualify for these grants, states must enact laws requiring repeat offenders to serve at least 85 percent of their sentences, detaining people charged with violent crimes who pose a public safety threat before trial, and imposing life sentences for individuals convicted of three separate violent offenses. The program essentially incentivizes states to adopt stricter sentencing and detention policies by offering federal funding for the incarceration infrastructure needed to carry out these requirements. The grants would begin no later than 180 days after the law's enactment, and states would need to apply and demonstrate compliance with the eligibility requirements.

Bringing Assistance for Rural Needs During Shutdowns ActThis bill requires Farm Service Agency (FSA) officers and employees to continue to work during a government shutdown.As background, under an exception in the Antideficiency Act, an employee whose duties involve the safety of human life or the protection of property may be required to work during a government shutdown (i.e., lapse in appropriations).Under this bill, any services by an FSA officer or employee are deemed to be for an emergency involving the safety of human life or the protection of property. Thus, if a lapse in FSA appropriations occurs, FSA officers and employees may be required to continue working.

The STARS Act requires the Department of Defense to establish and maintain facilities that help service members and their families access military identification and eligibility systems, with at least one qualified staff member available at least two days per week during regular business hours. These facilities must be located within 30 miles of every major metropolitan area with a population of 300,000 or more, ensuring that military families in and around large cities have convenient access to services related to military ID cards and health care eligibility records. The bill targets the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System and Real-Time Automated Personnel Identification System, which are critical for military families to access benefits and services. The legislation does not specify funding amounts or implementation timelines beyond the location and staffing requirements. The bill aims to reduce barriers for military-connected families who need to obtain or update identification documents and verify their eligibility for military benefits.

This bill designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 306 South Main Street in Waupaca, Wisconsin, as the "Master Sergeant Melvin O. Handrich Post Office Building".

The BLOOD Centers Act directs the FDA to create a faster approval process for blood centers that want to add apheresis collection devices (equipment used to collect specific blood components) at new locations. Under this expedited process, the FDA must approve applications within 30 days of submission, unless the agency identifies specific safety concerns at that location or a pattern of regulatory failures by the blood center operator. The expedited approval applies only to blood center operators that already hold FDA licenses at multiple locations and have a strong compliance record, either through FDA approval at three or more registered sites or through accreditation by an organization meeting federal standards. This legislation aims to reduce delays in expanding blood collection capacity while maintaining safety standards. The FDA must establish this new expedited process within 180 days of the bill's enactment.

Go Pack Go Act of 2025This bill requires cable and satellite television providers to make Wisconsin-based television programming available to subscribers in counties assigned to out-of-state television markets.U.S. counties are assigned to geographic television markets, and television providers are generally required to provide subscribers with programming local to their assigned market. Counties on state borders are sometimes assigned to out-of-state markets; subscribers in those counties often receive out-of-state programming (e.g., out-of-state news and sports).Under the bill, a cable or satellite television provider must offer subscribers in specified Wisconsin counties with the choice of (1) programming local to the subscriber's assigned market that the provider is currently required to retransmit, (2) Wisconsin-based adjacent-market programming, or (3) both.The bill also establishes that the provision of Wisconsin-based programming to subscribers who have elected it fulfills certain statutory coverage obligations applicable to providers.

H.Res. 622 is a symbolic resolution that honors small firearm manufacturers in the United States and declares August 2025 as "National Shooting Sports Month." The resolution recognizes that small firearms manufacturers—producers of handguns, rifles, shotguns, ammunition, and accessories—contribute significantly to the economy, supporting approximately 380,000 jobs and generating over $91 billion in annual economic output, while also serving as anchors in rural and small-town communities. The resolution celebrates shooting sports traditions such as hunting, target shooting, and competitive marksmanship as long-established American pastimes enjoyed by millions of citizens, and notes that these activities promote safe firearm handling and outdoor stewardship. The House of Representatives pledges to celebrate small firearm manufacturers' role in domestic manufacturing, support policies that help these businesses innovate and grow, and officially recognize the designated shooting sports month. Since this is a resolution rather than legislation that becomes law, it carries no funding requirements or legal mandates—it serves purely as an expression of congressional recognition and support.

This bill provides eligibility for the Vietnam Service Medal to veterans who participated in Operation End Sweep and submit an application. (Operation End Sweep was a mission to clear mines from Haiphong harbor and surrounding areas after the Vietnam war concluded.)

The FIRE Act would prohibit restrictions on firearm magazine capacity at both the federal and state levels. Specifically, the bill bars federal officers and employees from enforcing any regulations that limit magazine capacity, and it invalidates any existing state or local laws that impose limitations, prohibitions, or penalties based on how many rounds a magazine can hold. The legislation would apply to all "fixed or detachable devices used to store and feed ammunition into a firearm," as defined in the bill. The changes would take effect 30 days after the bill becomes law, meaning any current state or local magazine capacity restrictions would no longer be enforceable. This bill would effectively overturn magazine capacity limits that many states have implemented as part of gun safety measures.

Destroying Unnecessary, Misaligned, and Prohibitive Red Tape Act or the DUMP Red Tape ActThis bill establishes a requirement for the Office of Advocacy of the Small Business Administration (SBA) to continue to operate and maintain the Red Tape Hotline, which receives notifications from small entities about the burden of complying with applicable rules, guidance, policy statements, or other activities of a federal agency.The office must report annually to the SBA and Congress information about the notifications received through the hotline.

The SAFE Cities Act directs the Attorney General to identify and publish a list of "anarchist jurisdictions"—states or local governments that allegedly fail to stop violence and property destruction or restrict law enforcement from intervening. The Attorney General, working with the Secretaries of Homeland Security and Office of Management and Budget, must publish this list within 14 days of the bill's enactment and update it every 180 days, considering factors like whether jurisdictions have policies preventing police intervention, blocked law enforcement from specific areas, defunded police, or refused federal law enforcement assistance. The bill also requires the Office of Management and Budget to issue guidance within 30 days directing federal agencies to restrict federal grants to any jurisdiction on this list, to the maximum extent allowed by law. No specific funding is allocated to implement the bill, though it imposes administrative and enforcement responsibilities on federal agencies. The designation and funding restrictions would take effect immediately upon enactment.

Facility for Runway Operations and Safe Transportation Act or the FROST ActThis bill allows airport sponsors to use funds from Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grants for storage facilities for aircraft deicing equipment and fluids.Under current law, airports may use AIP funds for structures and equipment that are used to deice aircraft, but not for the associated storage facilities.

Safe Routes Act of 2025This bill directs the Department of Transportation to waive vehicle weight limits for covered logging vehicles, thus allowing logging vehicles to travel on interstate highways in certain circumstances.The term covered logging vehicle means a vehicle that (1) is transporting raw or unfinished forest products, including logs, pulpwood, biomass, or wood chips; (2) is traveling a distance not greater than 150 air miles on interstate highways from origin to a storage or processing facility; and (3) meets state legal weight tolerances and vehicle configurations for transporting raw or unfinished forest products within the state boundaries in which the vehicle is operating.

Unplug the Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Program ActThis bill repeals grant programs that provide funding for electric vehicle charging infrastructure and alternative fueling infrastructure.Specifically, the bill repeals the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Grant Program under which the Department of Transportation provides grants for acquiring and installing publicly accessible electric vehicle charging infrastructure, hydrogen fueling infrastructure, propane fueling infrastructure, or natural gas fueling infrastructure that is directly related to the charging or fueling of a vehicle.It also repeals the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program under which the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) provides grants for deploying electric vehicle charging infrastructure and establishing a network to facilitate data collection, access, and reliability. In addition, the bill rescinds unobligated funds that were provided to the FHWA for the program and prohibits funds from being used to carry out the program.

The SPEAR Act would amend the Endangered Species Act to prohibit the federal government from listing any Wisconsin population of lake sturgeon as threatened or endangered. The bill responds to Wisconsin's management of lake sturgeon in the Winnebago System, which has developed a thriving population through coordinated efforts between state agencies, conservation groups, and local communities. Supporters argue that Wisconsin's comprehensive management plan—which includes an annual controlled spearing season with mandatory registration and harvest caps—has made the state a global leader in sturgeon management and created a sustainable fishery that is economically important to local communities. The legislation would essentially remove federal oversight of these specific lake sturgeon populations, allowing Wisconsin to continue its current management practices without potential federal intervention. The bill contains no specific funding or implementation timeline beyond the legislative process.
