This resolution recognizes the 175th anniversary of Alpha Delta Pi sorority, which was founded on May 15, 1851, as the Adelphean Society at Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Georgia, making it the first secret society for college women. The resolution acknowledges the sorority's six founders and notes that it now has over 290,000 lifetime members across more than 220 chapters at colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. The resolution highlights Alpha Delta Pi's contributions to society, including raising over $1 million annually for Ronald McDonald House, logging over 300,000 community service hours yearly, and counting notable alumnae such as Academy Award winners, Emmy winners, Grammy winners, bestselling authors, Olympic athletes, and sitting members of Congress. The resolution congratulates the sorority on its anniversary and recognizes its members' commitment to personal growth, friendship, and community service. No funding or specific implementation timelines are included in this resolution, as it is ceremonial legislation honoring the organization's milestone anniversary.

This bill requires hospitals to use unique identifiers when billing for services provided at off-campus outpatient departments, aiming to make medical billing more transparent for patients and insurers. Under the law, group health plans and insurers cannot pay claims from hospitals for services at these off-site outpatient locations unless the claim includes a distinct identifier showing exactly where the care was provided. Hospitals are also barred from billing patients directly for such services unless they have obtained and used this identifier. The bill directs the Department of Labor to create a system for reporting suspected violations within one year of enactment and allows the Secretary to impose daily fines, ranging from $300 for small hospitals with 30 or fewer beds to $5,500 for larger hospitals, for noncompliance. The changes would take effect for health plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and the Department of Labor is tasked with issuing regulations to implement the law.

The Workforce Investments Accountability Act overhauls how states and local areas measure and report the performance of federal workforce development programs. The bill requires states to track whether program participants find and keep jobs, complete training, and earn higher wages, then report this data publicly in standardized formats broken down by provider type, credential earned, and participant demographics. The federal government and states will set performance targets through a collaborative process, with financial incentives—top-performing states receive additional funds while those missing 80% of targets face penalties up to 10% of funding—and local areas failing targets for multiple years must reorganize their services or replace leadership. States must also ensure at least 50% of local workforce funding goes directly to training services, and the Department of Labor will provide technical assistance to help states meet these new requirements within 12 months.

This bill requires permanent debarment of child care providers who commit fraud from receiving federal child care funding. The legislation amends the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act to mandate that the Department of Health and Human Services permanently ban any child care provider found guilty of fraud, including submitting false statements, misrepresenting services or enrollment, operating without proper licensing, or making improper expenditures of federal funds. The bill also creates cross-program enforcement, meaning providers banned from the Child and Adult Care Food Program for fraud would automatically be banned from child care block grant funding, and vice versa. The legislation affects child care providers nationwide who receive federal assistance through these programs, as well as families who rely on federally-funded child care services. The bill does not include specific funding amounts or implementation timelines, as it focuses on establishing permanent fraud prevention measures within existing federal child care programs.

H.R. 6188 would designate "Here Rests in Honored Glory," a composition by Donald B. Miller, as the official national hymn of the United States. The bill amends federal law (title 36 of the U.S. Code) to add this designation alongside other national symbols. The legislation does not involve any federal funding or specific implementation timeline—it is purely a symbolic measure that establishes a new official hymn for the country. This bill would affect all Americans by establishing a new national symbol, though it has no direct practical impact on government operations or budgets. Representative Virginia Foxx introduced the bill in November 2025.

The Union Members Right to Know Act requires labor unions to provide members with greater transparency about union agreements and governance. Specifically, unions must share copies of their collective bargaining agreements with affected employees either directly or through their website within 18 months of the law's enactment, and they must provide members with copies of the union's constitution and bylaws along with a summary of federal labor laws governing unions. The bill affects all unionized workers and union leadership, requiring unions to distribute this information through mail, email, or their websites within 30 days of a new member joining and annually to existing members. Union leaders must certify compliance with these new disclosure requirements to the Department of Labor within 180 days and annually thereafter. The Secretary of Labor is given 180 days to issue regulations implementing the law.

This resolution appoints Representative Fong to serve on the House Committee on Homeland Security. The resolution is a standard procedural measure used by the House of Representatives to fill committee positions when needed. It affects Mr. Fong, who will gain the responsibilities and voting rights that come with committee membership, and potentially impacts the committee's work on national security issues. No funding is involved in this resolution, and the appointment takes effect immediately upon passage. Committee assignments like this are routine House business that help ensure all standing committees have the proper membership to conduct their oversight and legislative work.

Congress
Introduced
This House resolution sets up the rules for voting on eight separate pieces of legislation in a single package. The legislation includes three joint resolutions that would overturn Bureau of Land Management decisions restricting oil and gas development in Alaska and Wyoming, a resolution condemning socialism, a bill to lift restrictions on natural gas exports and imports, a bill requiring a report on U.S. petrochemical refineries, and two bills that would override Washington D.C.'s criminal justice reforms by requiring mandatory detention and cash bail for certain crimes. The resolution affects energy companies seeking expanded drilling rights, natural gas exporters and importers, and the criminal justice system in Washington D.C. Each piece of legislation gets one hour of debate equally divided between Republicans and Democrats, with most oversight handled by the Natural Resources, Energy and Commerce, Financial Services, and Oversight committees. The resolution was passed by the House on November 18, 2025, and moves these bills forward for final votes without the usual procedural hurdles.

H.R. 5749 requires the Office of Personnel Management to submit annual reports to Congress detailing how federal employees use "official time"—hours spent on union representative duties while on the government payroll. Starting March 31 each year, these reports must include data on total official time granted, costs to taxpayers, specific activities performed, agency workspace designated for union work, and explanations when an agency's official time use increases. The bill affects all federal agencies with unionized workforces and their employees, requiring them to submit detailed usage data by December 31 each year. The Office of Personnel Management must issue guidance to agencies within 180 days of the law's enactment, and the reporting requirements take effect six months after passage.

SOAR Act Improvements ActThis bill reauthorizes through FY2032 and modifies the District of Columbia (DC) Opportunity Scholarship Program, which is a federal program that funds private school scholarships for low-income students in DC.Under the program, the Department of Education (ED) issues grants to nonprofit organizations to pay for income-qualified DC residents to attend DC private elementary or secondary schools of their choice. The bill expands the program to include pre-kindergarten students and authorizes ED to renew grants for up to five years without a new application. Current law requires nonprofits to ensure that if more scholarship students apply to a particular school than the school can accommodate, students will be randomly selected for admission. The bill specifies that this only applies if random selection would not interfere with the school's regular admission standards or procedures.Current law also requires schools to be properly accredited in order to participate in the program (i.e., enroll scholarship students). The bill authorizes a nonparticipating school to enroll scholarship students provided it obtains accreditation within five years of first pursuing participation in the program.The bill also makes other administrative changes to the program, including (1) authorizing the majority of voting members of a nonprofit’s board to live in the DC metropolitan area, rather than in DC itself; (2) removing a cap on the use of funds for tutoring students; and (3) directing ED and the mayor of DC to periodically evaluate and publicly report on the program.

The Protect Economic and Academic Freedom Act of 2025 conditions federal financial aid eligibility on colleges' participation in commercial boycotts and academic engagement. Specifically, institutions receiving federal funds under Title IV and Title VI of the Higher Education Act must annually certify that they will not participate in nonexpressive commercial boycotts of Israel (defined as a major strategic partner of the United States) and must permit their students and faculty to participate in academic programs in Israel on equal terms with other foreign countries. Colleges that fail to submit these certifications by July 31 each year will lose eligibility for federal higher education funds starting the following fiscal year, and the Department of Education must publicly list non-compliant institutions. The bill exempts actions that qualify as legitimate business decisions under existing anti-boycott laws. The legislation effectively ties billions in federal student aid and institutional funding to colleges' policies on Israel-related boycotts and academic partnerships.

This resolution sets up the procedural rules for the House to consider a Senate-amended version of H.R. 1, a budget reconciliation bill. The resolution allows the House to immediately take up and vote on whether to accept the Senate's changes to the original House bill without any procedural obstacles or amendments. The debate on accepting the Senate amendment is limited to one hour, with time split equally between the chairs and ranking members of the Budget and Ways and Means committees. This is a "rule" that streamlines the legislative process, typically used when leadership wants to quickly move legislation to final passage. The resolution was adopted on July 3, 2025, meaning the House can now proceed directly to a vote on the Senate's version of the reconciliation bill.

This resolution sets up the rules for House consideration of H.R. 4, which would block certain spending cuts that the President proposed on June 3, 2025. The resolution waives procedural objections to the bill and limits House debate to one hour, with equal time for majority and minority leaders. It also removes normal timeline restrictions that would typically apply when Congress reviews presidential spending rescissions under the 1974 Impoundment Control Act. The resolution affects how quickly Congress can act on the President's proposed budget cuts, allowing for expedited consideration without the usual procedural delays. Additionally, it automatically adopts House Resolution 492 as part of this process.

This House resolution sets up the rules for considering four separate pieces of legislation on the House floor. Two of the measures would disapprove Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rules - one regulating overdraft fees at large banks and another defining oversight authority over digital payment apps like Venmo and PayPal. The resolution also allows consideration of a bill that would limit federal courts' ability to issue nationwide injunctions against government actions, and another bill requiring proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. Each measure gets one hour of debate time split between the majority and minority parties before a final vote. The resolution essentially fast-tracks these four controversial bills by waiving procedural objections and limiting debate, allowing the House to vote on significant financial regulation rollbacks, judicial reform, and voting requirements all in one legislative package.

This House resolution establishes the rules for considering three separate pieces of legislation on the House floor. Two of the measures (H.J. Res. 24 and H.J. Res. 75) would overturn Department of Energy regulations that set new energy efficiency standards for walk-in coolers, freezers, and commercial refrigeration equipment used by businesses like restaurants and grocery stores. The third measure (H.R. 1048) would require colleges and universities to more fully disclose foreign funding they receive and would prohibit them from accepting money or contracts from certain foreign countries deemed security concerns. Each piece of legislation would receive one hour of debate time, with the energy-related measures going directly to a final vote and the higher education bill allowing for additional amendments during floor consideration. The resolution does not specify funding amounts or implementation timelines, as it only sets the procedural framework for debate rather than addressing the substance of the underlying legislation.
