HR 7035: Credit Card Competition Act of 2026

This bill prohibits large card issuers (with over $100 billion in assets) from requiring credit card transactions to process through only one payment network.

The Federal Reserve must issue these rules within one year of the bill's enactment. The law applies broadly to credit card processing but excludes certain 3-party payment systems.

HR 7038: Protecting Taxpayers from Risky Investments in Venezuela Act

This bill prohibits U.S. federal funds from being used to support Venezuela's oil and petroleum sector, including financing infrastructure projects, purchasing property, providing insurance, making payments to companies, or government advocacy. It directly affects all federal agencies and programs that manage taxpayer money, preventing them from funding any aspect of Venezuela's oil industry. The bill requires the Secretary of State to submit annual reports to specific congressional committees detailing any related activities and confirming compliance. These provisions aim to restrict U.S. financial involvement in Venezuela's oil sector using clear, non-ambiguous language.

HR 7034: To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to eliminate the dollar limitations on the exclusion of gain from sales of principal residences, and for other purposes.

HR 7034 would remove the current $250,000 (single filers) and $500,000 (married couples) tax exclusion limit for capital gains when selling a primary residence. This change would allow all homeowners to exclude their full profit from federal income tax upon selling their main home, regardless of the sale price. The bill amends Section 121 of the Internal Revenue Code to eliminate the dollar caps and adjusts related provisions to reflect this change. It directly affects homeowners who sell their primary residence, making the tax exclusion fully unlimited for qualifying sales after the bill's enactment.

HR 7033: Federal Correctional Officer Paycheck Protection Act of 2026

This bill would increase the base pay for Federal Bureau of Prisons correctional officers by 35 percent, replacing their current base rate for all pay calculations (including retirement and locality adjustments). It applies to officers whose duties involve inmate custody, control, or direct custodial contact, including certain supervisory staff and lower-grade Bureau of Prisons employees with similar duties. The pay increase is capped at the Executive Schedule level V rate and would expire after five years unless a Department of Justice Inspector General review finds progress in reducing non-custodial staff use for custodial duties and excessive overtime. The review, required 180 days before expiration, would assess impacts on recruitment, retention, and institutional safety.

HR 7032: Pay Paraprofessionals and Support Staff Act

This bill establishes minimum salary and wage standards for paraprofessionals and education support staff in public schools. It requires states to set a minimum annual salary of $45,000 for full-time staff (increasing with inflation after 2030) and a minimum hourly wage of $30 for part-time staff (also inflation-adjusted). The federal government will provide $25 billion in FY2026, with annual funding increases, to help states implement these standards through grants. States must ensure all local schools meet these minimums within 4 years of receiving funds, with 98% of grant money allocated directly to schools for salary increases or professional development.

HR 6732: Coercion and Sexual Abuse Free Environment Act

This bill creates new federal criminal penalties for intentionally coercing minors (under 18) through interstate means (like mail or online platforms) to engage in harmful acts. It specifically prohibits forcing minors to commit self-harm (including suicide attempts), animal cruelty, abusive nonsexual conduct, sexually explicit acts, or obscene speech. Violations carry fines and prison terms of up to 10 years, with harsher penalties (up to 20 years or life) if serious injury or death results. The law directly protects minors from coercion by perpetrators using interstate communication or commerce, with enforcement under existing federal criminal code.

HR 6271: Food Bank Emergency Support Act of 2025

HR 6271, the Food Bank Emergency Support Act of 2025, appropriates $462.5 million to prevent cuts to food assistance benefits during funding shortfalls or government shutdowns. The funds are specifically designated under the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to maintain existing benefit levels for programs like SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) and food bank commodity distributions. It ensures these services continue without interruption, including barring furloughs for personnel involved in food distribution during emergencies. The bill directly supports food banks, grocery retailers distributing benefits, and millions of low-income households relying on these services. It takes effect as if enacted on September 30, 2025.

HR 6088: Restoring Food Security for American Families and Farmers Act of 2025

HR 6088, the *Restoring Food Security for American Families and Farmers Act of 2025*, repeals specific sections (10101-10108) from a prior reconciliation law. This action revives previous provisions related to food security programs that were modified by those repealed sections. The bill directly affects federal food assistance and agricultural support programs by restoring their prior legal framework. It does not create new policies but reverses recent changes to existing food security measures.

HR 5168: Puerto Rico Nutrition Assistance Fairness Act

This bill updates federal nutrition law to include Puerto Rico in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), allowing it to transition from its current funding method to the same SNAP benefits available to U.S. states. Puerto Rico must submit a 180-day plan to the USDA detailing its transition to SNAP, with approval required within another 180 days. The transition period lasts up to 5 years from the bill's effective date, during which Puerto Rico would continue receiving block grants while preparing for full SNAP participation. This change directly affects Puerto Rico's 1.4 million residents who currently receive nutrition assistance under a separate funding structure.

HR 5068: MORE Act

The MORE Act (HR 5068) would remove cannabis from the federal list of controlled substances, effectively decriminalizing it at the federal level while establishing a new tax on cannabis products. The bill creates an Opportunity Trust Fund that would distribute tax revenues to support communities disproportionately impacted by cannabis prohibition, including funding for expungement programs, job training, and equitable licensing initiatives for minority business owners. It also includes provisions to prevent discrimination based on cannabis use in federal programs, immigration proceedings, and workplace policies. The bill would require federal courts to expunge non-violent cannabis convictions and establish a process for resentencing individuals currently serving time for such offenses. These provisions aim to address racial disparities in cannabis enforcement and create more equitable opportunities in the legal cannabis industry.

HR 4509: NOPAIN for Veterans Act

HR 4509, the NOPAIN for Veterans Act, requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to add FDA-approved non-opioid pain medications to its national formulary within one year of their approval for pain management. These medications must reduce pain without acting on opioid receptors, directly affecting veterans receiving VA care who need pain treatment. The bill mandates the VA include such drugs in its formulary and drug standardization list, expanding access to non-opioid options. It also prohibits using funds from the Cost of War Toxic Exposures Fund to implement these changes, with implementation required within 90 days of the bill's enactment.

HR 3453: Empower Charter School Educators to Lead Act

HR 3453, the Empower Charter School Educators to Lead Act, creates new federal grants to help educator-led teams plan and open charter schools. It provides up to $100,000 per team for pre-charter planning, targeting groups led by educators with at least 4.5 years of school-based experience (including after-school programs) and a demonstrated ability to lead. To qualify, teams must submit a community needs assessment and a plan showing how their proposed school will address those needs. The bill reserves 5% of relevant funding for these educator-led grants, adjusting existing ESEA grant formulas to prioritize this new support. This directly affects educators seeking to start charter schools and the communities where those schools would operate.
