HRES 1322: Condemning racist rhetoric targeting Indian and Chinese Americans, reaffirming that immigrants from all backgrounds are vital to the United States, and calling on all elected officials to refrain from language that promotes racial or ethnic division.

This resolution condemns specific racist rhetoric directed at Indian and Chinese Americans and calls on all elected officials, including the President, to stop using language that promotes racial or ethnic division. It specifically addresses recent statements made by the President that characterized immigrants from India and China in derogatory terms and linked them to negative stereotypes. The bill affirms that immigrants from all backgrounds are vital to the United States and declares that attacks based on national origin are un-American. While it does not change laws or policies, it serves as a formal statement of disapproval from the House of Representatives regarding the targeted hate speech.

HRES 1320: Calling upon all Americans on this Memorial Day, 2026, to honor the men and women of the Armed Forces who have died in the pursuit of freedom and peace.

H.Res. 1320 is a non-binding resolution that calls on all Americans to honor military personnel who died while serving in the pursuit of freedom and peace on Memorial Day 2026. The bill does not create new laws or change any policies; instead, it serves as a formal expression of gratitude and remembrance from the House of Representatives.

HR 9021: Stay Cool Act

The Stay Cool Act establishes a comprehensive framework to help communities prepare for and respond to extreme heat events by creating cooling centers, improving housing conditions, and enhancing urban infrastructure. It directs federal funding to states and local governments to build and equip cooling facilities, install air conditioning in public housing, and develop green spaces and water features to lower temperatures. The bill also creates a national system to track heat-related health risks, mandates checks on vulnerable seniors during heatwaves, and allows tax credits for businesses that keep their doors open during heat emergencies. Additionally, it requires updates to utility assistance programs to account for cooling costs and calls for studies on heat-related mortality and safe residential temperature standards.

HR 9016: Email Privacy Act

This bill, known as the Email Privacy Act, amends existing federal laws to clarify how information about stored emails can be shared and how government agencies can access email content. It requires internet service providers to use the term "disclose" rather than "divulge" when sharing subscriber data and expands the definition of who can receive this information to include agents of the customer. The legislation also changes rules for government warrants by allowing providers to notify customers about the receipt of a warrant unless the government requests otherwise, while maintaining exceptions for communications made public by the sender. Additionally, the bill removes a specific time limit that previously required a warrant for emails stored for less than 180 days, ensuring consistent warrant requirements for all stored communications.

HR 9014: Affordable Housing and Area Median Income Fairness Act of 2026

This bill authorizes $5 billion annually for each fiscal year from 2026 to 2035 to fund affordable housing programs, but restricts these funds to areas designated by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as having high housing costs. It also requires the Secretary to conduct a comprehensive study on alternative ways to calculate income limits for urban housing assistance, with a final report due two years after enactment. The study will analyze how current income metrics affect rent affordability and explore options like using ZIP Code-level data to better support low- and middle-income families in expensive cities.

HR 9012: Affordable Housing Credit Carryback Act

The Affordable Housing Credit Carryback Act allows developers of low-income housing projects to apply their tax credits to tax years up to five years prior to the current year. This change directly affects developers who may have incurred losses in earlier years and are unable to fully utilize the tax benefits generated by their projects. By amending the Internal Revenue Code, the bill enables these developers to carry back the low-income housing tax credit to offset taxes owed in those past years. This provision aims to improve the immediate financial viability of affordable housing developments without altering the total amount of tax credit available.

HR 9010: Making appropriations for the Legislative Branch for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2027, and for other purposes.

HR 9010 appropriates funds for the Legislative Branch for fiscal year 2027, primarily covering salaries, expenses, and operations for the House of Representatives, Senate, Capitol Police, and various independent agencies like the Library of Congress and Government Accountability Office. The bill includes specific restrictions on spending, such as prohibiting the purchase of certain Chinese-made technology and limiting vehicle leasing allowances for Members of Congress. It also mandates in-person workplace rights training for Members under active misconduct investigations and requires that any unused funds from Members' representational allowances be used to reduce the federal deficit or debt.

S 4641: Improving Access to Medicare Coverage Act of 2026

The Improving Access to Medicare Coverage Act of 2026 changes how Medicare counts time spent in hospital observation toward the three-day waiting period required for skilled nursing facility coverage. Starting in 2026, individuals receiving outpatient observation services will be treated as inpatients for this purpose, and the date they stop receiving such care will count as their official hospital discharge date. This provision applies to observation periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with limited exceptions for appeals made within 90 days of the bill's enactment. The law also allows the Department of Health and Human Services to implement these changes through interim regulations before the official start date.

S 4640: 9–8–8 Connect Act

The 9-8-8 Connect Act establishes a new grant program to help crisis centers provide follow-up care to individuals who contact the 9-8-8 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline via call, text, or chat. These grants, totaling $30 million for fiscal year 2026, will fund activities such as well-being check-ins, outreach to ensure continued support, and referrals to appropriate care, all of which require the individual's informed consent. The bill also directs the Federal Communications Commission to create rules ensuring that all mobile phone calls and texts are routed to 9-8-8, including those from devices without a service plan. Additionally, the legislation updates federal communications laws to officially include 9-8-8 alongside 9-1-1 as a dialable number on multi-line telephone systems.

S 4635: SAFE for Survivors Act of 2026

The SAFE for Survivors Act of 2026 establishes new federal protections for individuals experiencing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or other gender-based violence by mandating that employers provide up to 40 work days of leave per year, including at least 10 paid days, to address these incidents. This legislation also prohibits employers and insurers from discriminating against victims or retaliating against them for seeking leave, requesting workplace safety accommodations, or filing related claims, while ensuring that any information about the abuse remains strictly confidential. Additionally, the bill expands access to unemployment compensation for those who leave their jobs due to violence, strengthens insurance rules to prevent denial of coverage based on victim status, and authorizes funding for public education campaigns and workplace resource centers to support survivors.

S 4627: FARM AI Act of 2026

The FARM AI Act of 2026 directs the U.S. Department of Agriculture to integrate artificial intelligence into its research, education, and extension programs to help farmers improve productivity and resource management. This legislation mandates that federal funding for agricultural sciences include specific projects focused on AI adoption, workforce training, and the development of precision farming tools. To coordinate these efforts, the bill creates a new position called the Artificial Intelligence Agriculture Advisor, who will work with other agencies to promote AI use and establish national standards for the sector. Ultimately, the law aims to support small and family-run farms by providing technical assistance and ensuring access to modern digital technologies.

S 4625: Elder Pride Act

The Elder Pride Act amends the Older Americans Act to formally recognize LGBTQI individuals and people living with HIV as distinct groups requiring specific attention. It establishes a new Office of LGBTQI Inclusion within the Department of Health and Human Services to coordinate services, conduct research, and administer grants aimed at improving care for older LGBTQI people. Additionally, the bill creates a $5 million rural outreach grant program to fund initiatives that reduce isolation, enhance cultural competency among service providers, and expand sexual health services in non-urban areas. These changes are designed to ensure that aging services are more inclusive and accessible to older adults who have historically faced discrimination or lack of tailored support.
