The Tribal Warrant Fairness Act amends two federal laws to explicitly include Indian Tribes in existing law enforcement and security protocols. It requires the U.S. Marshals Service to consider "Tribal fugitive matters" upon request by an Indian Tribe and updates the Presidential Threat Protection Act to include "Indian Tribes" and "Tribal law" alongside local and state entities. These changes ensure Tribal governments are treated equally with local and state authorities in federal processes. The bill directly affects Indian Tribes, the U.S. Marshals Service, and agencies under the Presidential Threat Protection Act by modifying how they handle Tribal matters. This is a technical update to existing statutes without creating new programs or funding.

HR 2675, the Protecting Our Courts from Foreign Manipulation Act of 2025, requires parties and their lawyers in federal civil cases to disclose any foreign funding tied to case outcomes. It mandates written disclosure of foreign funders' identities (including country of origin) and certification about funding sources, while banning foreign states or sovereign wealth funds from funding litigation. The law also requires annual reports to Congress detailing foreign-funded cases, including amounts and jurisdictions. This directly affects parties using foreign-funded litigation, courts handling such cases, and foreign entities seeking to influence U.S. courts through financial support.
This bill proposes a new amendment to the U.S. Constitution to guarantee the right to vote for all citizens of legal voting age in their place of residence. It requires states to allow voters to register and cast ballots on election day and mandates that Congress set national standards for how elections are administered. The amendment permits only narrowly tailored rules to protect election integrity and gives Congress the authority to pass laws enforcing these new voting rights.
This bill, known as the Stopping Harmful and Outrageous Torts Act, expands legal protections for firearm manufacturers and sellers by strengthening their immunity from civil lawsuits. It requires courts to immediately dismiss any pending cases against these companies that are based on the criminal or unlawful misuse of a gun by a third party, while also clarifying that sellers are not liable for negligence in entrusting products to others. The legislation further restricts who can file such suits by prohibiting foreign governments from bringing these claims and adding a specific exception for victims under the age of 17, though it maintains immunity for cases involving design or manufacturing defects. Additionally, the bill allows companies to move these cases to federal court and grants them the right to appeal dismissal orders immediately, along with the ability to recover legal fees if they win. Finally, it preempts state and local laws that attempt to impose liability on these entities for the same types of misuse-related harms.
The Keep Public Funds in Public Schools Act of 2026 eliminates a federal tax credit that allowed parents to deduct contributions to scholarship granting organizations from their income. By removing these specific tax breaks, the bill prevents the use of public tax dollars to support private school vouchers and scholarship programs. This change directly affects families who currently rely on these tax incentives to fund education outside the public school system. The provisions take effect for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2026.
The TIMEOUT Act requires federal agencies to move their nonessential administrative offices out of sanctuary jurisdictions within 90 days of the law's enactment. A sanctuary jurisdiction is defined as any state or local area that restricts officials from sharing immigration information or complying with federal detainer requests. The bill also prohibits these agencies from leasing, renewing, or using federal funds for new office space in such locations. Additionally, the General Services Administration must identify affected offices and submit a report to Congress detailing the relocation status and associated costs within one year.
This bill directs the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information to conduct a comprehensive study on various broadband internet technologies, including fiber-optic cables, satellite systems, and mobile wireless networks.

The findings will be compiled into a report submitted to Congress within one year of the bill's enactment to inform future policy decisions regarding broadband infrastructure.
This bill requires states and tribal organizations that run school lunch programs to also participate in the Summer EBT program, which provides food assistance to children during summer breaks. For the summers of 2024 through 2026, participation in the summer program remains voluntary for these entities. Starting in summer 2027, joining the summer program becomes mandatory for any state or tribal organization that already participates in the school lunch program. The legislation also updates administrative rules to ensure states submit management plans for these programs by specific deadlines each year.
This bill, titled the No Exceptions for Non-Citizens Voting Act, aims to strengthen penalties for non-citizens who vote illegally in the United States. It modifies federal law to make voting by aliens a specific ground for inadmissibility and deportability under immigration statutes. The legislation also removes existing exceptions that previously allowed certain non-citizens to vote in federal elections without facing these specific immigration consequences. By updating the Immigration and Nationality Act, the bill ensures that any alien who votes in violation of any election law faces potential removal from the country.

This resolution condemns the actions of those seeking to defraud the U.S. government. The resolution also expresses the belief of the House of Representatives that (1) legislative and policy reforms to prevent fraud and improper payment will meaningfully improve the continued financial prosperity of the U.S. government and the American taxpayer, and (2) federal program eligibility and spending activities should be verified prior to payments being issued.
