HR 7222: No Tax on Boat Loan Interest Act of 2026

The No Tax on Boat Loan Interest Act of 2026 would allow individuals to deduct interest paid on loans for qualifying U.S.-manufactured recreational motorboats from their taxable income, similar to how interest on car loans is treated. It defines qualifying boats as motorboats manufactured in the U.S. for recreational use, excluding non-U.S. built vessels, and requires taxpayers to provide the boat's hull identification number on their tax return. This change applies to loans taken out after December 31, 2024, and primarily affects individual boat owners who finance purchases meeting these criteria.

HR 7230: Buying American Cotton Act of 2026

This bill creates a tax credit for businesses selling products made with U.S.-grown cotton. The credit equals 24% of the cotton's market value if processed only in the U.S. or in countries with U.S. trade deals, or 18% for other processing locations. To qualify, cotton must be digitally traced from U.S. farms to finished products and certified by the USDA as meeting origin requirements. It directly affects clothing and textile manufacturers selling qualifying products in the U.S. market.

HR 7223: Language Access for All Act of 2026

The Language Access for All Act of 2026 requires federal agencies to ensure meaningful access to government services for people with limited English proficiency (LEP). Agencies must translate vital documents into languages commonly spoken in the U.S. (based on Census data), provide multilingual digital tools, interpretation services, and use bilingual staff as an alternative to professional interpreters. Each agency must create a language access plan within one year, detailing how it will serve LEP populations - including during emergencies - and annually certify compliance with technical standards. Noncompliance is treated as discrimination under civil rights law, with enforcement by the Department of Justice.

HR 7199: Gerald’s Law Act

HR 7199, the Gerald’s Law Act, expands burial benefits for veterans who die at home while receiving VA hospice care. It adds a new eligibility category allowing burial allowances for veterans who were in VA hospice care at home *only if* they previously received VA hospital or nursing home care. The bill amends existing law to include this scenario under the veterans' burial allowance program. This change directly affects veterans receiving VA hospice care at home after prior VA facility-based care, ensuring they qualify for burial benefits similar to those who die in VA facilities. The policy change takes effect as if included in the 2020 Veterans Health Care Act.

HR 6885: Veterans Pensions Protection Act of 2025

This bill modifies how certain payments are counted toward income for veterans' pension eligibility. It excludes reimbursements for medical expenses (up to actual medical costs) and pain/suffering payments (up to Secretary's case-by-case limit) from income calculations. This directly affects veterans and surviving spouses/children who receive such payments, preventing these reimbursements from reducing their pension benefits. The changes take effect 180 days after the bill's enactment.

HRES 1013: Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to establish a Permanent Select Committee on Aging.

HRES 1013 proposes creating a Permanent Select Committee on Aging in the U.S. House of Representatives. This committee would study aging-related issues affecting older Americans - including income, health, housing, employment, and long-term care - without having the power to pass laws. It would also work to coordinate government and private programs supporting seniors and review recommendations from the President or White House Conference on Aging. The resolution, introduced by Rep. Magaziner and Rep. Salazar, is currently referred to the House Rules Committee.

HRES 515: Commemorating the 90th birthday of His Holiness the Dalai Lama on July 6, 2025, as "A Day of Compassion", and expressing support for the human rights, religious freedom, and cultural and linguistic protection of the Tibetan people.

This resolution designates July 6, 2025, as "A Day of Compassion" to commemorate the 90th birthday of the Dalai Lama. It expresses congressional support for the Tibetan people's human rights, religious freedom, and cultural/linguistic protections. The resolution affirms that decisions about Tibetan Buddhist religious leadership - including the selection of a future Dalai Lama - must be made by Tibetan Buddhist authorities, not the Chinese government. It does not create new laws or policies but serves as a symbolic expression of support through congressional recognition.

HR 7188: MOLD Act

The MOLD Act (HR 7188) establishes uniform health and safety standards for military housing managed by private contractors, directly affecting approximately 700,000 service members and their families living in privatized housing across 78 developments. It requires the Defense Secretary to set enforceable limits on indoor humidity (below 50%), mandate third-party inspections after tenant complaints or unit turnover, and hold contractors fully responsible for mold remediation, relocation costs, and property damage. The bill also mandates public reporting of complaints, inspection results, and remediation timelines, and requires contractors to use certified professionals for mold assessments. These provisions aim to reduce mold-related health risks and improve accountability in privatized military housing.

The bill directs the U.S. and Israel to jointly develop, test, and deploy counter-drone technologies through their existing Operations Technology-Working Group, including sharing threat intelligence and conducting joint training. It increases annual funding for this cooperation from $55 million to $100 million and mandates detailed annual reports to Congress on progress, threat assessments, and the adequacy of current counter-drone capabilities. The bill directly affects U.S. and Israeli military forces by accelerating joint efforts to address threats from Iran-origin drones targeting U.S. allies and military assets in the Middle East.

HR 7180: Countering Captagon and Narcotics Post-Assad Act

This bill amends the National Defense Authorization Act to require a new unclassified strategy for countering drug trafficking in the Middle East following the fall of Syria's Assad regime. It directs U.S. agencies to assess Captagon and methamphetamine trafficking patterns, identify countries receiving large shipments, evaluate those nations' counter-narcotics capacity, and review U.S. assistance programs. The strategy must also evaluate international cooperation efforts and provide recommendations to disrupt networks linked to former Assad regime actors, Hezbollah, and Iran-backed groups. The bill directly affects U.S. military and law enforcement agencies (like U.S. Central Command) and countries receiving U.S. counter-narcotics aid in the region.

HR 7169: UBER Act

To qualify, every driver must be at least 21 years old, hold a valid license from a single state, pass a road test, and demonstrate sufficient English proficiency to communicate with the public and read traffic signs, with an exception for drivers who use American Sign Language. Companies that fail to certify that all their drivers meet these standards will be banned from federal contracts for five years.
