HR 9110: Promoting Authenticity with Influencer Disclaimers Act

The Promoting Authenticity with Influencer Disclaimers Act requires political committees to clearly label online content they pay for, ensuring viewers know the material was sponsored by a political group. This rule applies to posts on websites, apps, and social media, mandating that the disclaimer be easy to read or hear, while excluding content on a committee's own site or posts by staff whose main job is managing their personal social media. The law takes effect on January 1, 2027, and directs the Federal Election Commission to create specific regulations to enforce these requirements by that date.

HR 9100: Modernizing Agricultural and Manufacturing Bonds Act

This bill expands tax-advantaged financing options for small businesses and farmers by updating the rules for qualified small issue bonds. It allows these bonds to fund the creation of intangible property like software, alongside traditional manufacturing, and raises the borrowing limits for eligible projects from $10 million to $30 million. Additionally, the legislation increases the maximum loan amount for first-time farmers from $450,000 to $1 million and adjusts the calculation for farm size eligibility to use an average rather than a median. These changes are designed to provide more accessible funding for a broader range of agricultural and manufacturing initiatives while including automatic inflation adjustments for future years.

HR 9096: Deport the Terrorists Act of 2026

This bill, titled the Deport the Terrorists Act of 2026, aims to remove from the United States any naturalized citizen convicted of specific terrorism-related crimes. It directly affects individuals who have already become U.S. citizens by automatically revoking their citizenship and declaring their naturalization certificates void upon conviction of offenses such as using weapons of mass destruction or providing material support to terrorists. The law also designates these individuals as deportable aliens and requires the Department of Homeland Security to prioritize their removal from the country. By amending existing immigration laws, the bill ensures that courts have the authority to cancel citizenship immediately following a conviction for these designated offenses.

HR 9083: State Emissions Authority Act of 2026

This bill, known as the State Emissions Authority Act of 2026, modifies the Clean Air Act to reduce federal mandates on vehicle inspection and maintenance programs. It primarily affects state governments by removing requirements for them to maintain specific inspection schedules and by limiting the federal government's ability to credit states for emissions reductions achieved through these programs. Additionally, the legislation adjusts rules regarding how states must report their environmental plans and clarifies compliance standards for federal vehicles and installations. By striking several existing sections of the law, the bill effectively shifts more authority over vehicle inspection policies from the federal level to the states.

HR 1041: Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act

HR 1041, the Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act, prevents the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) from automatically sending veterans' personal information to the national background check system (NICS) solely because a court has appointed a fiduciary (like a guardian) to manage their benefits. This directly affects veterans who have a fiduciary appointed due to mental health or cognitive challenges but are not deemed a danger to themselves or others. The bill requires a court order finding the veteran poses a danger before any such information can be shared with the NICS. It changes VA procedures to block unnecessary barriers to firearm ownership for veterans who qualify for fiduciary support without a judicial determination of danger.

S 4632: Prevent Government Shutdowns Act of 2026

The Prevent Government Shutdowns Act of 2026 automatically provides federal funding for government programs if Congress fails to pass a budget by the start of a new fiscal year. This mechanism supplies money for 14-day periods that can be extended as long as the shutdown continues, ensuring essential services like food assistance and loan programs keep running without interruption. To prevent political games during these shutdowns, the bill restricts official travel for government officials and limits what Congress can debate or vote on, except for passing a new budget or addressing the national debt limit.

HR 9079: TRUST Act

The TRUST Act prohibits the U.S. military from enlisting or appointing individuals who are nationals of countries designated as adversaries to the United States. This ban applies to new recruits and appointments starting 180 days after the law is enacted, while also requiring the Department of Defense to submit a report within one year identifying current service members from these nations who are permanent residents. The legislation aims to reduce risks related to espionage and foreign influence by strictly limiting military access for citizens of specific foreign governments.

HR 9067: To amend the Communications Act of 1934 to provide for a gender identity content descriptor for video programming, and for other purposes.

This bill directs the Federal Communications Commission to create a new content descriptor for video programming that depicts or discusses gender identity, transgender identity, or non-binary identity. The primary goal is to ensure this descriptor is displayed on children's programming, such as shows rated TV-Y, TV-Y7, or TV-G, so parents can use it with existing parental control tools like the V-chip. The legislation requires the FCC to first check if the voluntary TV Parental Guidelines have already added this descriptor; if they have not, the Commission must establish and enforce the new rating system. A key provision clarifies that the bill does not ban or censor any video content, focusing instead on labeling and parental guidance.

HR 9036: American High-Speed Rail Act

The American High-Speed Rail Act expands federal funding and streamlines regulations to support the development of high-speed and higher-speed rail projects across the United States. It authorizes billions of dollars in grants for corridor planning, technology improvements, and construction, while allowing the federal government to cover up to 100% of project costs under specific conditions. The bill also introduces new provisions to facilitate land acquisition, prioritize border projects, and extend labor protections to workers involved in federally funded rail infrastructure. Additionally, the legislation defines higher-speed rail as trains traveling between 110 and 186 miles per hour and includes tax incentives for rail carriers that sell or lease property to support these projects.

HR 9032: RESTORE Third Spaces Act of 2026

The RESTORE Third Spaces Act of 2026 establishes a three-year federal pilot program to provide grants for renovating and developing community gathering places known as "third spaces," which are public areas distinct from home and work. Administered by the Department of Commerce, the program offers up to $200 million to local governments, nonprofits, and other eligible entities to support projects that strengthen local economies and reduce social isolation. A key requirement of the bill is that at least 60% of the funding must go to low-income and underserved communities, and the resulting spaces must remain free or low-cost for the public. To ensure accountability, recipients must engage the community in the design process and report on attendance, economic impact, and social benefits, with a final report submitted to Congress after the pilot period concludes.

This resolution formally recognizes the negative effects of menstrual stigma on women, girls, and other menstruating people and expresses support for designating May as National Menstrual Health Awareness Month. It highlights the importance of normalizing menstruation, improving access to products and sanitation facilities, and expanding education and clinical research on menstrual health conditions. The bill does not create new laws or funding but serves as a symbolic statement to promote awareness and gender equity regarding menstrual health.
