This bill creates a temporary protected status program for a specific group of Iranian nationals whose immigration cases were stalled by a December 2025 pause in benefit processing. Eligible individuals include Iranian nationals who were lawfully present in the United States, had filed immigration applications before the pause, and whose work authorization or immigration status expired as a result. The protected status designation lasts 18 months initially and automatically extends in 6-month increments if the processing pause continues or conditions in Iran remain unsafe. The Department of Homeland Security must issue interim rules to implement the program within 30 days of the law's enactment, with final rules to follow within 180 days after receiving public comment.

This resolution seeks to impeach Peter B. Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, based on six articles of alleged misconduct. The charges include initiating military operations against Iran without congressional authorization, violating international laws of armed conflict including targeting civilians, mishandling classified military information through unsecured communications, obstructing congressional oversight by withholding information about military operations, abusing his power by politicizing military decisions and targeting officials for political reasons, and bringing disrepute to the military through discriminatory treatment of women, LGBTQ+ personnel, and people of color. The resolution was introduced in April 2026 by a group of Democratic members and was referred to the House Judiciary Committee for consideration. If approved by the House, the case would proceed to the Senate for trial, where a two-thirds majority would be required to remove Hegseth from office.

H.Res. 1147 is a House resolution that recognizes historical and ongoing injustices in women's health care in the United States, particularly affecting Black, Indigenous, immigrant, LGBTQ+, disabled, and low-income women. The resolution acknowledges the field of gynecology's problematic origins, including non-consensual medical procedures and exploitation, and notes that women's pain and medical concerns continue to be dismissed or minimized today, leading to delayed diagnoses and preventable suffering. The resolution affirms the federal government's responsibility to protect individual dignity and advance patient-centered care by expanding access to reproductive and gynecological health services, increasing research investment in women's health conditions, strengthening bodily autonomy protections, and holding medical institutions accountable for bias. As a resolution rather than legislation, this measure does not create binding law, allocate specific funding, or impose timelines, but rather expresses the House's position on women's health care priorities and serves as a statement of intent and values for future policy direction.

The Reproductive Healthcare Leave Act would require employers to provide employees with 96 hours (12 days) of paid leave annually for reproductive health needs, including menstruation, endometriosis, fertility treatments, and pregnancy termination. Employees may request this leave with oral or written notice and as much advance notice as practicable, and employers cannot penalize workers for using it or require them to arrange their own coverage. The bill prohibits retaliation and applies to private sector employees, federal workers, congressional staff, and presidential employees, while allowing states receiving federal funds to be held accountable for non-compliance. Enforcement occurs through the Department of Labor, with workers able to sue for damages, lost wages, and attorney's fees if employers violate these requirements. Federal agencies and the President must issue implementing regulations within 90 to 180 days, with the law taking effect six months after regulations are finalized and an 18-month transition period for existing union contracts.

The Gynecologic Pain Management Study Act directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct a comprehensive study examining what prevents healthcare providers from offering pain management options during gynecologic procedures and what stops patients from accessing them. The study will investigate whether barriers stem from insurance coverage gaps, inadequate provider training, lack of resources, or other factors, and will review existing medical literature and conduct new research as needed. To ensure the study captures diverse perspectives, the Secretary must consult with patients, healthcare providers, medical societies, public health experts, health equity specialists, and medical device manufacturers. The Department must deliver its findings and recommendations to Congress within 24 months of the bill's enactment. This legislation aims to identify systemic obstacles to pain management in gynecologic care and provide Congress with options for potential policy changes to improve patient access to pain relief during these procedures.

The Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder Awareness and Research Act of 2026 aims to expand federal efforts to address PMDD, a severe menstrual health condition affecting an estimated 5 to 8 percent of women and people assigned female at birth. The bill directs the Department of Health and Human Services to increase research on PMDD's causes and treatments, launch a public awareness campaign to reduce stigma, and develop medical education materials to help healthcare providers better diagnose and treat the condition. It also establishes a grant program to train health professionals through medical schools, nursing schools, and hospitals in PMDD care. The legislation authorizes unspecified funding for these initiatives from 2026 through 2031 and requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to report to Congress within two years on progress made in research, awareness, and treatment access.

This bill prohibits senior federal officials from simultaneously holding or performing the duties of multiple positions in the federal government. Specifically, it bans the Director of the Office of Personnel Management, the Special Counsel, the Director of the Office of Government Ethics, the Archivist of the National Archives, and all officials at Executive Schedule Level I from serving in more than one position at a time—whether in a permanent or temporary "acting" capacity. The law also prevents the President from directing any individual already serving as an acting officer to simultaneously perform the duties of another vacant office. The bill does not include specific funding requirements or implementation timelines. Introduced in February 2026 by Representatives Ansari and Garcia, the legislation targets what supporters view as problematic "dual hatting," where one official manages responsibilities across multiple agencies or roles.

H.R. 7345 requires the Congressional Budget Office to study the long-term economic impacts of Trump Administration immigration policies implemented starting January 20, 2025. The study, to be completed within 180 days and conducted in collaboration with the Council of Economic Advisers, will examine how these policies affect key economic sectors like agriculture, healthcare, and technology over a 20- to 40-year period, as well as their effects on public safety, demographics, innovation, small businesses, and tax revenue at federal, state, and local levels. The bill directs the Department of Homeland Security, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and Internal Revenue Service to share relevant data with the Congressional Budget Office to support the analysis. No specific funding amount is allocated in the legislation, and the study must be completed before the end of the current congressional session or within six months of the bill's enactment, whichever comes first.

The Drain ICE Act of 2026 seeks to eliminate federal funding for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) by repealing budget provisions from an earlier law known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" and rescinding any unspent money allocated to the agency. The bill, introduced by a bipartisan group of House members in February 2026, is motivated by concerns about ICE detention practices, including allegations of inhumane conditions, unlawful arrests of citizens and legal residents, and a sharp increase in detentions of people without criminal records. The legislation argues that ICE's enforcement activities have diverted resources from counterterrorism, drug trafficking prevention, and human trafficking prevention, while enriching private contractors who operate detention facilities. The bill does not specify alternative funding amounts or timelines but directly targets the removal of ICE appropriations contained in the previous reconciliation bill.

This bill requires U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and all facilities housing immigration detainees to establish comprehensive health monitoring and reporting systems. Within one year of enactment, all detention facilities must create real-time, internet-accessible systems documenting detainees' medical, dental, and mental health issues, diagnoses, treatments, and outcomes, with all staff receiving mandatory training. The bill also mandates that DHS establish an anonymous, multilingual complaint system within six months allowing detainees to report health concerns through kiosks or hotlines, with protections against retaliation and investigations required within 14 days. If a facility receives three verified health complaints, DHS must review whether to terminate its contract with the facility operator. Additionally, the bill requires annual audits by the DHS Inspector General (with specific attention to gender-related health concerns), mandates a full-time health services liaison at each facility, and requires quarterly public reports on detention health conditions. Congress members and their designated staff gain unrestricted access to facilities for oversight purposes, though non-member staffers must provide 24 hours' notice.

H.Res. 1008 is a symbolic congressional resolution expressing support for Iranian citizens protesting against the Iranian government and calling for democratic reforms and human rights protections. The resolution condemns what it characterizes as the Islamic Republic's violent suppression of peaceful protests, including killings, mass arrests, and internet restrictions, and calls on the Iranian regime to release political prisoners and cease intimidating demonstrators. The resolution also urges the U.S. government to work with international allies to implement measures to prevent further violence against Iranian protesters and calls for expanded internet access in Iran. This is a non-binding resolution with no direct funding or implementation timeline—it serves primarily to make a formal statement of Congress's position regarding Iran's internal political situation and human rights practices. The resolution was submitted by a bipartisan group of House members and referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.

H.Res. 993 is a congressional resolution expressing support for Iranian citizens protesting against their government and calling for greater freedoms and democratic reforms. The resolution commends the courage of Iranian protesters while condemning what it characterizes as the Islamic Republic's violent suppression of demonstrations, including killing protestors, mass arrests, and censoring communications. The resolution specifically demands that Iran's government cease violence against peaceful protesters, release political prisoners, restore internet access, and allow medical aid to wounded demonstrators. It also calls on the U.S. government to work with international allies to implement measures deterring further violence against protesters and affirms the Iranian people's right to determine their own political future through free elections. This is a non-binding resolution that takes no direct action but serves as an official statement of Congress's position on Iran's internal situation and human rights record.

The Mental Health Emergency Responder Act establishes a federal grant program to help states, local governments, tribal nations, and nonprofits create or expand programs that respond to mental health crises without relying primarily on police. Eligible recipients can use grant funds to hire and train mental health professionals, integrate crisis teams into 911 and 988 call systems, educate the public about alternatives to police response, and establish clinician-led mobile teams as the primary responders to behavioral health emergencies. The program is open to local governments, emergency medical services agencies, fire departments, community behavioral health clinics, and nonprofits working with government partners, with priority given to areas that currently lack such programs. Grant recipients must submit annual reports on their response outcomes and community feedback. The legislation authorizes funding through fiscal year 2030, though a specific dollar amount is not specified, leaving the actual funding level to be determined during the annual budget process.

H.Res. 792 is a House resolution expressing support for increased federal investments in youth mental health and establishing two annual awareness days. The resolution designates May 31, 2026, as "Youth Mental Health Day" and September 9, 2026, as "Youth Suicide Prevention Day" (to be observed annually thereafter), while calling attention to alarming statistics showing that roughly 20 percent of high school students seriously considered suicide in the past year and that suicide is the second-leading cause of death for youth ages 10 to 34. The bill, submitted by a bipartisan group of representatives, emphasizes that the mental health crisis disproportionately affects marginalized youth, including Black, Indigenous, LGBTQ+, immigrant, and low-income young people who face greater barriers to accessing care. While this resolution does not allocate specific funding or create new programs, it urges Congress to recommit to addressing the crisis through expanded access to mental health services and reduced stigma, and encourages state and local governments to adopt these awareness days and invest in school and community-based mental health initiatives.

This bill directs the Department of the Interior to update the "Gold Book," a longstanding guidance document originally focused on oil and gas operations on federal lands, to also cover geothermal energy development. Within one year of enactment, the Secretary of the Interior must identify standard procedures and guidelines for efficient and environmentally responsible geothermal leasing and permitting that aren't already covered in the current 2007 edition of the Gold Book. Within 270 days after that, an updated version must be published, incorporating rules for exploration, permitting, legal compliance, construction, and drilling and production operations, and the document must be renamed to reflect its expanded geothermal focus. The Secretary is required to consult with other federal agencies, Bureau of Land Management field offices, and outside stakeholders like industry developers before publishing. This effort primarily affects geothermal energy companies seeking to operate on federal lands, as well as BLM field offices that oversee permitting, and the law requires the guidance to be reviewed and potentially updated at least every five years going forward.

H.Res. 773 is a non-binding resolution that honors the principle of separation of church and state and opposes what it characterizes as "extreme right-wing Christian nationalism." The resolution marks the 65th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's 1960 speech to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association—in which Kennedy affirmed his belief in absolute separation of church and state—and the 150th anniversary of President Ulysses S. Grant's 1875 speech on the same topic. The resolution reaffirms Congress's commitment to protecting religious freedom and the First Amendment's Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses, citing historical support for these principles from the Founding Fathers and landmark Supreme Court decisions. It calls on Americans to maintain a clear distinction between government and religious institutions and to oppose religious extremism that threatens constitutional principles. As a House resolution, this measure does not create law or allocate funding; it is primarily a statement of principles submitted by 15 Democratic representatives and currently under review by the House Judiciary Committee.

Every Kid Outdoors Reauthorization ActThis bill expands and permanently reauthorizes the Every Kid Outdoors Program, which provides passes for free access to federal lands and waters to certain students and accompanying individuals. The existing program applies to fourth-grade students (of any age) and home school learners who are 10 years old. The bill expands the program to include fifth-grade students (of any age) and home-schooled learners who are 11 years of age.

H.Res. 748 is a House resolution condemning the use of federal regulatory power and litigation to suppress lawful speech, particularly criticism directed at political parties or the President. The resolution directly addresses concerns about the Trump Administration's public calls to investigate and penalize media figures, citing specific examples including late-night host Jimmy Kimmel's removal from the air following FCC Chair Brendan Carr's threats against ABC and reports of law firms filing politically motivated lawsuits against critical networks. The resolution, introduced by a Democratic-led coalition of over 70 members, asserts that such tactics mirror authoritarian practices and threaten democratic freedoms protected by the First Amendment. It calls on all public officials to refrain from using government pressure to silence media organizations and urges federal agencies like the Department of Justice and FCC to protect free expression rather than serve as instruments of political retaliation. This is a statement of House sentiment only—resolutions do not create law or allocate funding—but express the chamber's formal position on a matter of policy concern.

H.R. 4627 modifies how the U.S. government directs foreign aid to combat HIV/AIDS by expanding what counts as core humanitarian assistance under existing law. The bill specifically adds HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) medications to the list of preventive treatments the government can fund internationally, and clarifies that prevention efforts—including pre- and post-exposure measures—are considered life-saving humanitarian assistance. The legislation also ensures that prevention programs target at-risk populations using scientific analysis recommended by the World Health Organization. The bill affects U.S. foreign aid priorities and international HIV/AIDS prevention efforts but does not specify new funding amounts or implementation timelines. It was introduced in July 2025 by a bipartisan group of House members and referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.

The AI Impersonation Prevention Act of 2025 makes it a federal crime to use artificial intelligence technology to impersonate federal officials, such as by creating deepfake videos or synthetic audio that mimics a government employee's voice or appearance without clear disclosure. Anyone convicted of this offense faces up to three years in prison and/or fines. The law specifically targets misleading AI-generated content presented as authentic, affecting anyone who creates or distributes such deepfakes with the intent to deceive. The legislation includes an exception for legitimate satire, parody, and other First Amendment-protected speech, as long as clear disclaimers are included stating the content is not authentic. The bill does not establish new funding mechanisms and would take effect upon enactment.

H.Res. 582 creates an advisory working group tasked with recommending two women whose portrait reliefs should be added to the Hall of the House of Representatives, where portraits of historical lawgivers are displayed above the public gallery doors. The working group will consist of House officials including the Clerk, Curators, relevant committee leaders, and members of the Congressional Bipartisan Women's Caucus. The group must develop recommendations on which women to honor, how to fund and commission their portraits, where to install them (including whether to replace existing portraits), and a timeline for installation that minimizes disruption to House business. The working group will consult with scholars in law and women's history, as well as Library of Congress staff, and must submit its report to House leadership and the Committee on House Administration within one year or by the end of the 119th Congress, whichever comes first.

This bill requires the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to conduct a comprehensive study measuring the economic costs of extreme heat in the United States. The study will quantify direct financial impacts including deaths, property damage, medical expenses, lost worker productivity, increased energy costs, crop losses, and damage to critical infrastructure like power grids and transportation systems. NOAA will coordinate with federal agencies, state health departments, and other organizations to gather data from insurance claims, medical records, and existing research, with recommendations for creating a national system to track and publicly report these heat-related costs. The bill authorizes $3.5 million in funding and requires NOAA to publish its findings on the HEAT.gov website within four years, making the research available through open-access scientific journals. This study will provide policymakers and the public with concrete economic data about extreme heat's impact on American health, businesses, and infrastructure.

The Excess Urban Heat Mitigation Act of 2025 directs the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to create a grant program that provides funding to cities, states, nonprofits, and other entities to reduce dangerous urban heat in American communities. The program supports projects like planting trees, installing cool roofs and pavements, building cooling centers, creating community gardens, and developing heat management plans. At least 75 percent of the funding must go to economically disadvantaged census tracts where residents face disproportionate heat exposure due to fewer trees, more pavement, and other urban design factors. The bill authorizes $30 million annually for fiscal years 2026 through 2033 to implement these projects, and the Secretary must award grants by 2026 while ensuring community involvement in project planning and decision-making.

This bill establishes a coordinated federal system to address extreme heat and its health impacts on Americans. It creates two main structures: the National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS) within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to improve heat forecasts, warnings, and data sharing, and an interagency committee led by representatives from 16+ federal agencies—including NOAA, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, FEMA, and the Department of Defense—to align federal heat preparedness and response efforts. The bill requires the committee to develop a 5-year strategic plan within two years outlining how agencies will improve data collection on heat-related illnesses, coordinate research, and provide actionable information to the public and state and local governments. The legislation authorizes $5 million annually from 2025 through 2029 for NIHHIS operations and committee activities, with all collected data made publicly available to support the system's goals of reducing heat-related health risks and economic impacts.

The Artemis Act of 2025 creates an exception to expedited removal procedures in U.S. immigration law for individuals from countries designated as "countries of concern." Specifically, the bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to prevent the immediate deportation of people who are citizens or natives of countries that the Secretary of State has identified as countries of particular concern for religious freedom violations or listed on the International Religious Freedom Act's special watch list. This exception would apply both to people from these countries and to anyone who would be deported to such a country. The legislation affects immigrants and asylum seekers facing expedited removal and expands protections for those fleeing countries with documented human rights or religious freedom concerns. The bill does not specify funding or implementation timelines.
