HR 7040: SAFE KIDS Act

The SAFE KIDS Act would void surrogacy contracts between U.S. surrogates and foreign nationals from designated "foreign entities of concern" (nations listed under 10 U.S.C. §4872(f)(2)), except for married couples where at least one prospective parent is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. It prohibits surrogacy brokers from facilitating such contracts, imposing fines or up to one year in prison for knowingly arranging these agreements. If a contract is voided, custody decisions for the child would be determined by state courts based solely on the child’s best interests, disregarding the invalid agreement. The bill aims to address what Congress identifies as a national security threat involving exploitation of U.S. surrogacy laws and potential human trafficking.

HR 6875: AI OVERWATCH Act

The AI OVERWATCH Act requires U.S. exporters to obtain a license for sending certain high-performance integrated circuits (defined by specific technical specifications like processing power or bandwidth) to countries designated as "concerns," including China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. Before approving such licenses, the Commerce Department must submit detailed certifications to Congress, including assurances the export won’t support military/intelligence capabilities of the recipient country and won’t harm U.S. semiconductor availability or AI leadership. The bill also creates an exemption for U.S. companies meeting strict security and ownership standards ("trusted United States persons") to export these chips to non-target countries without a license. Additionally, it mandates a national security strategy assessing how such exports affect U.S. AI competitiveness, particularly regarding China’s semiconductor production and capabilities.

HR 4532: American Cooperation with Our Neighbors Act

This bill directs the State Department to create a strategy within 270 days to strengthen local-level cooperation between U.S. and Mexican authorities focused on stopping fentanyl trafficking. The strategy must include law enforcement coordination, professional exchanges, data sharing (with congressional notification required first), and support for border communities. It also requires a review of financial access for Caribbean Community (CARICOM) nations, examining embassy presence, anti-narcotics financing rules, and capital access programs. The strategy and a two-year update will be submitted to specific congressional committees. The bill affects U.S. agencies, Mexican local/state governments, and CARICOM financial systems.

HR 4327: No Tax on Home Sales Act

This bill eliminates the $250,000 tax exclusion limit for single homeowners and $500,000 limit for married couples when selling their primary residence. It removes the current dollar cap on capital gains tax exclusion, meaning all profit from such home sales would be tax-free. The change applies to sales occurring after the bill's enactment. This directly affects homeowners who currently owe taxes on gains exceeding the removed limits.

HR 4105: VET Act of 2025

HR 4105, the VET Act of 2025, establishes a federal grant program to help veterans, active-duty service members transitioning out of the military, and their spouses secure jobs in the energy industry. The program provides grants to energy companies (including manufacturers of solar, wind, or nuclear equipment) to cover costs like job training, recruitment, and relocation for eligible individuals - prioritizing those with military energy experience, in opportunity zones, or facing barriers like homelessness. Grants are capped at $10,000 per hire, with a maximum $500,000 annual limit per company, funded at $60 million yearly from 2026-2031. Companies must report on job retention, employee satisfaction, and program outcomes to the Department of Labor, with a final evaluation due to Congress by 2030.

HR 7161: No Private Bounty Hunters for Immigration Enforcement Act

HR 7161, the "No Private Bounty Hunters for Immigration Enforcement Act," prohibits the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from using private contractors for immigration enforcement tasks like tracking individuals (skip tracing), surveillance, or location verification. It bans DHS from entering new contracts for these purposes after enactment, terminates existing contracts allowing them, and amends others to prohibit them. The bill also blocks federal funds from paying private entities per-person or via bonuses for locating individuals under immigration detainers, except for limited government-supervised data tools. DHS must audit all relevant contracts within 30 days of the bill's enactment to ensure compliance.

HR 7152: Yes in God's Backyard Act

This bill establishes two new programs under the National Affordable Housing Act to increase affordable rental housing on property owned by faith-based organizations and institutions of higher education. It provides $25 million annually (2026-2031) for technical assistance to help these groups remove barriers to developing housing for low-income households, including those at risk of homelessness, veterans, and people with disabilities. Additionally, it creates $50 million annually in competitive challenge grants for local governments and states to adopt policies removing barriers and produce housing for households earning below 60% of area median income, with priority for well-resourced neighborhoods. The programs require public planning and reporting to ensure funds directly support affordable housing development on eligible properties.

HR 7163: PUBLIC SAFETY Act

HR 7163, the PUBLIC SAFETY Act, increases federal funding for local law enforcement by amending two key programs. It extends the deadline for COPS Hiring Program grants to September 30, 2030, and waives certain requirements for smaller jurisdictions (under 175 officers) and tribal governments to access funds. The bill appropriates $45 billion for fiscal year 2025 for the Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program, available until September 30, 2029. These changes directly affect local police departments, counties, municipalities, and tribal governments seeking federal funding to hire officers and support public safety initiatives. The core policy change is expanding access to funding for smaller agencies while significantly increasing overall grant availability.

HR 7166: Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act of 2026

HR 7166, the Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act of 2026, requires all ammunition sales to occur in person with identity verification, directly affecting licensed ammunition dealers and unlicensed buyers. The bill mandates that dealers verify a buyer’s identity using a photo ID during every transaction and prohibits online or remote sales. It also creates new recordkeeping rules requiring dealers to report multiple sales of over 1,000 ammunition rounds to an unlicensed person within 5 business days. These provisions update existing federal firearms laws to apply specifically to ammunition transactions.

HR 7156: SCAM Act

HR 7156, the SCAM Act, would expand grounds for revoking U.S. citizenship (denaturalization) for naturalized citizens who commit specific offenses within 10 years of becoming citizens. It targets individuals convicted of defrauding federal, state, or local governments (e.g., $10,000+ in public benefit fraud), affiliating with foreign terrorist organizations, or committing aggravated felonies or espionage. If convicted in these categories, the government could automatically revoke citizenship retroactively (as if it never existed) based on evidence that the person lacked good moral character or loyalty to the U.S. at the time of naturalization. This bill directly affects naturalized citizens who commit these offenses within a decade of gaining citizenship, with revocation triggering immediate deportability.

HR 224: Disabled Veterans Housing Support Act

HR 224, the Disabled Veterans Housing Support Act, modifies how income is calculated for housing assistance programs by requiring that veterans' service-connected disability compensation (from the VA) be excluded when determining eligibility for low/moderate income housing. This directly affects disabled veterans who receive VA disability payments, ensuring these funds do not count against them for housing assistance under HUD programs. The bill amends the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 to mandate this exclusion in income calculations. Additionally, it requires a report within one year examining how disability compensation is treated across HUD programs and recommending improvements to better serve veterans.

HRES 1008: Recognizing and expressing support for the Iranian people protesting for a free and democratic Iran.

This symbolic resolution expresses the U.S. House of Representatives' support for Iranian protesters demanding democracy and human rights. It condemns the Iranian regime's violent suppression of demonstrations, calls for the release of political prisoners, and urges expanded internet access for Iranian citizens. The resolution specifically demands an end to regime violence, recognizes the Iranian people's right to free elections, and asks the U.S. government to coordinate with allies on deterring further brutality. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws but formally states congressional support for the protesters' cause.
