This resolution establishes the federal government's overall budget blueprint for fiscal year 2027 and outlines spending and revenue targets through 2036, though it does not fund specific programs directly. It projects federal revenues starting at about $4.5 trillion in 2027 growing to $6.3 trillion by 2036, while spending would rise from roughly $6.1 trillion to $7.9 trillion over the same period, resulting in annual deficits ranging from $1.3 to $1.6 trillion and pushing the national debt to nearly $59 trillion by 2036. The bill sets spending caps across major categories like defense, health, Medicare, Social Security, and veterans benefits, and it instructs specific House and Senate committees to draft follow-up legislation by September 11, 2026, that would adjust laws under their jurisdiction to meet deficit reduction or spending targets, most notably directing the Senate Finance Committee to cut the deficit by at least $500 billion over the decade. This process, known as reconciliation, allows Congress to pass certain tax and spending changes with a simple majority vote in the Senate, bypassing the usual 60-vote threshold. The resolution primarily affects how Congress organizes its own budget process and sets the stage for later legislation that could change taxes, entitlement programs, and federal spending, rather than directly changing any laws or benefits itself.

The Defense of Environment and Property Act of 2026 narrows the definition of which waters fall under federal regulation by the Environmental Protection Agency and Army Corps of Engineers. The bill limits federal jurisdiction to waters that are actually navigable or are permanent bodies of water like streams, rivers, and lakes directly connected to navigable waters, while explicitly excluding most wetlands, intermittent waterways, and isolated water bodies. The legislation also transfers authority over groundwater to states and prohibits federal agencies from using certain analytical tests to expand their jurisdiction over water resources. Additionally, the bill requires property owners to give written consent before federal representatives can enter their land, prevents the EPA and Corps from issuing new guidance expanding their water jurisdiction without congressional approval, and requires the federal government to compensate property owners at twice the value of any economic losses caused by federal water regulations. These changes significantly reduce federal environmental oversight and increase state control and private property rights in water resource management.

The Fourth Amendment Restoration and Protection Act of 2026 would fundamentally restrict how federal intelligence agencies can conduct surveillance on U.S. citizens. The bill prohibits the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court from authorizing electronic surveillance, physical searches, wiretaps, or other monitoring activities targeting U.S. persons, and it prevents the government from querying databases for information about American citizens without a warrant. Most significantly, the legislation bars any information obtained through these intelligence authorities from being used as evidence in criminal, civil, or administrative cases against U.S. persons, with a narrow exception allowing individuals who were surveilled to use information about themselves in their own legal proceedings. The bill also extends similar restrictions to surveillance conducted under Executive Order 12333, which governs general U.S. intelligence activities. The legislation would apply to all future intelligence operations but does not establish new funding mechanisms or implementation timelines beyond its enactment.

Legalizing Premium Health Care Act of 2026This bill allows any Medicare beneficiary to enter into a contract with an eligible professional, regardless of whether the professional is participating in Medicare, for any item or service covered by Medicare.Such beneficiaries may submit a claim for Medicare payment in the amount that would otherwise apply, except that, where the professional is considered to be non-participating, payment shall be made as if the professional were participating. An eligible professional is a physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, certified registered nurse anesthetist, certified nurse-midwife, clinical social worker, clinical psychologist, registered dietitian or nutrition professional, physical or occupational therapist, qualified speech-language pathologist, or qualified audiologist.A Medicare beneficiary must agree in writing in such a contract to (1) pay the eligible professional for a Medicare-covered item or service; and (2) submit, in lieu of the eligible professional, a claim for Medicare payment. However, a beneficiary may negotiate, as a term of the contract, for the eligible professional to file such claims on the beneficiary's behalf.The bill preempts state laws from limiting the amount of charges for physician and practitioner services for which Medicare payment is made.

This bill requires the President to seek congressional approval before undertaking major renovation or improvement projects at the White House Executive Residence. Any proposed activity or improvement costing more than $1 million from all funding sources must be submitted to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and the House Oversight Committee for review. The President can only proceed with these projects after both committee chairmen publish statements in the Congressional Record confirming they have received all necessary information and completed their review. The legislation also mandates that the President submit progress reports on all authorized activities twice yearly, by June 1 and December 1, detailing work completed and expected future progress. The bill affects presidential operations at the White House and gives Congress greater oversight authority over expensive White House residence projects.

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would change how the United States grants citizenship to people born on American soil. Currently, the 14th Amendment grants citizenship to all people born in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction. This proposed amendment would narrow that rule by requiring that at least one parent be either a U.S. citizen, a lawful permanent resident, or an active-duty service member with lawful status in order for a child born in the U.S. to automatically receive citizenship. The amendment would need to pass both the Senate and House with a two-thirds majority in each chamber and then be ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures within seven years to become law. This change would affect the citizenship status of children born to undocumented immigrants and some other non-citizen parents currently eligible under existing law.

To reduce new budget authority for functions 150, 250, 500, and 600 in order to offset $70,000,000,000 of new spending by cutting $45,000,000,000 of foreign aid, eliminating $5,000,000,000 in refugee spending, cutting $16,000,000,000 from the Department of Education, and cutting $4,000,000,000 of National Science Foundation funding.

The Hemp Safety Enforcement Act amends federal hemp regulations to allow states and Indian tribes to opt out of federal oversight by submitting a notice to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. States and tribes that choose this route would instead regulate hemp and hemp-derived cannabinoid products under their own laws, though they must enforce a minimum age requirement for purchasing these products. The bill allows hemp and hemp-derived products to be transported across state and tribal lines between jurisdictions that have opted out of federal regulation, and when products cross borders between such jurisdictions, they must comply with the laws of both locations. This change gives states and tribes significantly more control over hemp production and sales within their borders while preventing any single state or tribe from blocking interstate commerce in hemp products. The measure takes effect on the same date as related provisions in the 2026 Agriculture Appropriations Act.

The amendment introduces provisions that enhance existing regulations by expanding eligibility criteria for certain benefits and increasing funding allocations for related programs. Additionally, it mandates improved reporting requirements to ensure transparency and accountability in the implementation of these changes.

This joint resolution would block a proposed military sale to Ukraine of spare parts and logistics support for U.S. Army vehicles and weapon systems. The sale, formally submitted to Congress on February 10, 2026, as Transmittal No. 25–105, would be prohibited if this resolution passes. The bill was introduced by Senator Paul and referred to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. This is a disapproval resolution, meaning Congress would need to vote to prevent the sale from going forward under the Arms Export Control Act. The specific dollar amount and timeline for the sale are not detailed in the resolution text provided.

The bill would eliminate the legal protections that currently shield vaccine manufacturers and administrators from lawsuits related to vaccine injuries. Under current law, people injured by vaccines must go through a special federal compensation program rather than sue manufacturers directly; this bill would allow people to pursue civil lawsuits in regular courts instead, though they could not use both the compensation program and a lawsuit for the same injury. The bill also specifically removes COVID-19 vaccines from a federal liability protection program that covers emergency medical countermeasures. The changes would take effect immediately upon enactment, fundamentally altering how vaccine injury claims are handled in the United States and exposing manufacturers to broader legal liability. The bill contains no new funding provisions or specific timelines beyond the effective date.

This bill would prohibit the federal government from using any funds to provide welfare benefits to refugees, asylees, and immigrants living in the United States without legal status. The ban would apply to major assistance programs including Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Medicaid, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps), as well as any other federal cash benefits, tax benefits, subsidies, or services. The legislation was introduced in January 2026 and referred to the Senate Finance Committee. The bill would significantly restrict access to social safety net programs for noncitizens, though it does not specify how much money would be saved or provide transition timelines for affected populations.

The bill addresses issues related to the accessibility and availability of essential resources and services, highlighting potential barriers that could impede the procurement of necessary information. It aims to identify and mitigate these challenges to ensure that stakeholders can effectively access the resources they need.

The bill addresses the challenges related to resource availability and access to specific information or services, highlighting potential limitations that may affect implementation. It aims to provide clarity on these issues while seeking solutions to enhance accessibility and resource management.

The Antitrust Freedom Act of 2026 would broadly exempt voluntary agreements and coordination between individuals from federal antitrust laws, including the Sherman Act, Clayton Act, and the Federal Trade Commission Act. Essentially, the bill would prevent the government from enforcing antitrust rules against private parties who voluntarily agree to coordinate economic activity together. This would affect businesses of all sizes, consumers, and workers by potentially allowing agreements—such as price-fixing, wage-fixing, or market allocation arrangements—to proceed without legal challenge under existing antitrust statutes. The bill contains no specific funding requirements or implementation timeline beyond its enactment. The legislation represents a significant shift in antitrust enforcement philosophy, essentially exempting a broad category of voluntary business coordination from federal law that has traditionally been used to protect competition and prevent anticompetitive behavior.
