HR 10327: Cost Estimates Improvement Act

The Cost Estimates Improvement Act requires the Congressional Budget Office and the Joint Committee on Taxation to include public debt servicing costs in their financial estimates, to the extent practicable. This change directly affects federal budgeting processes by ensuring that the interest payments on national debt are factored into official cost projections for new legislation. The bill amends the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to mandate this specific inclusion in all future estimates prepared by these two bodies.

HR 8674: Geese House Site Conveyance Act

The Geese House Site Conveyance Act directs the Secretary of the Interior to transfer approximately 21,578 acres of federal land within Denali National Park and Preserve to the Doyon, Limited corporation within one year of the bill's enactment. This transfer excludes specific lots and bodies of water while reserving public easements and adjusting the park's official boundaries to remove the conveyed area. The law imposes strict limits on the recipient, prohibiting them from selling the land to others, conducting mining activities, or developing the site in ways that would harm the cultural significance of the Geese House. Additionally, the bill waives certain standard federal regulations and past land withdrawals that would normally apply to this type of property transfer.
Topics ✗ EnvironmentOpposes EnvironmentTransferring federal land from a national park to a private corporation likely reduces conservation protections and limits public access to natural resources.75% confidence

HR 10307: Anaktuvuk Pass Food Security Access Act

The Anaktuvuk Pass Food Security Access Act amends the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act to allow local residents of Anaktuvuk Pass to use snowmobiles, motorboats, and various off-road vehicles for subsistence purposes. This change overrides existing restrictions that generally prohibit such vehicle use on federal lands in the area. The bill directly affects residents who rely on these modes of transportation to hunt, fish, or gather food. It also specifies that certain other provisions regarding land management do not apply to these authorized subsistence activities.

HR 10275: Puerto Rico Energy Opportunity and Geothermal Assessment Act of 2026

The Puerto Rico Energy Opportunity and Geothermal Assessment Act of 2026 directs the U.S. Geological Survey, in coordination with the Department of Energy and local officials, to conduct geothermal resource assessments for Puerto Rico. These studies must include high-resolution mapping, evaluations of groundwater vulnerability in sensitive terrain, and analyses of seismic risks associated with enhanced geothermal systems. The Secretary of the Interior is required to submit progress reports to Congress annually for the first year and biennially thereafter until the assessment is complete.

HR 10247: Future of America’s Workforce Act

The Future of America's Workforce Act requires the Bureau of Labor Statistics to publish an annual Contingent Work Supplement as part of the Current Population Survey. This supplement must gather data on "covered technologies," which are defined as systems, including artificial intelligence, that influence human decision-making or adapt their behavior based on data and experience. The law specifies that these technologies can be considered covered even if they do not fully automate tasks or replace workers, provided they alter job duties, scheduling, or worker autonomy. If the agency fails to publish the supplement, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics must report the reasons for the delay and the expected publication date to Congress.

HR 10123: STOP Improper Licensing Act

The STOP Improper Licensing Act requires the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to audit state procedures for issuing commercial driver's licenses to non-residents within three years of enactment. The audit focuses on identifying cases where licenses were issued without verifying lawful presence or were retained after an individual's legal status expired. States found to have significant compliance issues must implement corrective measures, with those having error rates over 25 percent subject to annual follow-up audits for three years. If a state fails to respond to required actions, the federal government can withhold all FMCSA funding until the state returns to compliance.

SJRES 209: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "California State Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards; Ocean-Going Vessels At-Berth; Notice of Decision".

This joint resolution seeks to disapprove a specific rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency regarding pollution control standards for nonroad engines used in ocean-going vessels while they are at berth. If passed, the measure would legally void the EPA rule, preventing it from taking effect or continuing to apply to the shipping industry. The bill directly impacts the Environmental Protection Agency and maritime operators subject to these emission regulations by removing the federal mandate associated with the California standards.

HJRES 210: Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "California State Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards; Ocean-Going Vessels At-Berth; Notice of Decision".

This bill proposes to reject a specific rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency regarding pollution control standards for ocean-going vessels at ports in California. If passed, the measure would use a congressional veto to cancel the rule, preventing it from taking legal effect. The legislation directly impacts the EPA's ability to enforce these specific emission limits and affects shipping companies and ports in California that would have been subject to the new standards.

S 5354: Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Modernization Act of 2026

The Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Modernization Act of 2026 reauthorizes federal housing assistance for Indian tribes and Native Hawaiians through fiscal year 2033 while expanding eligibility to include families with incomes up to 120 percent of the area median. The bill grants tribes greater autonomy by allowing them to set their own rent, procurement, and environmental review policies, and it streamlines regulatory processes by consolidating environmental reviews and exempting certain small-scale projects from specific federal requirements. Additionally, the legislation establishes new grant programs for homeless American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians, creates a rental assistance program for homeless Indian veterans, and extends leasehold interests on trust lands to 99 years to improve financing options.

S 5341: Strengthening Coast Guard Communities Act of 2026

The Strengthening Coast Guard Communities Act of 2026 transfers specific intergovernmental support agreement authorities from the Secretary of Defense to the Commandant of the Coast Guard. This change allows the Commandant to directly manage agreements that provide services and infrastructure support to Coast Guard communities, rather than requiring approval through the Department of Defense. To ensure transparency, the bill requires the Commandant to notify the relevant Senate and House committees in writing within 60 days of exercising this new authority.

To qualify, applicants must register with biometric data and pass criminal and national security background checks, while the Department of Homeland Security is required to process these applications within 90 days, subject to a potential extension for specific security concerns. The legislation also allows recipients to apply for waivers on filing fees and permits brief international travel in cases of emergency or extenuating circumstances.
