HR 10202: High School Voter Empowerment Act of 2026

The High School Voter Empowerment Act of 2026 requires all public high schools in the United States to be designated as voter registration agencies under federal law. Schools must conduct at least one voter registration drive each academic year, with a specific goal of registering eligible students who are at least 17 years old and enrolled in American Government or Economics classes. To support these efforts, the Department of Education would establish a grant program that reimburses schools for the reasonable costs associated with running these drives. Additionally, state election officials may provide voting machines to schools upon request for use in student council elections.

HR 10200: Family Leave for Parental Involvement in Education Act

The Family Leave for Parental Involvement in Education Act amends the Family and Medical Leave Act to grant eligible private-sector employees up to 48 hours of unpaid leave per year to attend school conferences or activities for their children or grandchildren. This additional time is capped at 8 hours within any 30-day period and can be taken in intermittent blocks rather than all at once. Employers may require employees to use accrued paid vacation, personal, or sick leave instead of taking this unpaid time off. The bill also extends similar leave provisions to federal employees, allowing them to substitute accumulated annual or sick leave for the new parental involvement entitlements.

HR 10185: Part D Premium Protection Act of 2026

The Part D Premium Protection Act of 2026 would establish a temporary premium credit for Medicare Part D prescription drug plan enrollees in 2027. This credit is designed to match the average premium reduction observed during the Part D Premium Stabilization Demonstration program between January 1, 2025, and the end of 2026. Under the bill's provisions, insurance sponsors would charge enrollees their standard premiums minus this specific credit amount, with the floor set at zero dollars.

HRES 1497: Commemorating the 13 United States servicemembers killed at Abbey Gate during and as a result of President Biden's disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.

H.Res. 1497 is a House resolution that commemorates the fifth anniversary of the Abbey Gate bombing, in which 13 U.S. servicemembers were killed during the withdrawal from Afghanistan. The bill lists the names of the fallen soldiers and formally condemns the Biden-Harris administration for what it describes as dereliction of duty and the forfeiture of military property to the Taliban. It asserts that the withdrawal was a disastrous failure that ignored security warnings and left Americans at risk, while also criticizing the lack of accountability from officials involved in the decision-making process.

HR 10157: Freedom to Home Distill Act

The Freedom to Home Distill Act would allow individuals to legally produce small amounts of alcohol at home for personal use without paying federal excise taxes or facing criminal penalties. To qualify, a household could distill up to 10 proof gallons per year if it has one adult, or 20 proof gallons if it has two or more adults, provided the spirits are never sold or transferred to others. The bill exempts home distillers from standard business requirements such as registering their equipment and paying taxes, but it mandates that any stills purchased for this purpose must have specific safety features like pressure release valves and a capacity of no more than 50 gallons. These changes would take effect for spirits produced after December 31, 2026.

HR 10166: Foreign Propaganda Disclosure Act

The Foreign Propaganda Disclosure Act amends the Foreign Agents Registration Act to explicitly include social media influencers in its regulatory scope. The bill defines a social media influencer as any individual who maintains a monetized account on a social media platform, using an existing definition from the Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2022. By making this addition, the legislation requires these specific digital content creators to comply with the same registration and disclosure obligations currently applied to other foreign agents.

HR 10173: NSF REU Act of 2026

The NSF REU Act of 2026 reauthorizes and expands the National Science Foundation's program that funds summer and academic-year research experiences for undergraduate students in STEM fields. The bill requires that at least half of the participants at each funded site be recruited from institutions with limited research opportunities, such as community colleges, minority-serving institutions, and rural schools. It authorizes $100 million annually for fiscal years 2027 through 2032 to support these grants, which must cover student stipends, travel, housing, and mentor training. Additionally, the legislation mandates that the NSF track student outcomes for at least three years after their degree and submit a report to Congress on program effectiveness and recruitment strategies.

HR 10155: To amend title 10, United States Code, to include certain prior active duty as a regular member of an Armed Force for reduced eligibility age for retirement as a member of the reserve components.

This bill amends federal law to allow certain prior active duty service as a regular member of an Armed Force to count toward the reduced eligibility age for retirement in the reserve components. The change directly affects members of the Ready Reserve who have served on active duty, enabling them to qualify for retirement benefits at an earlier age than previously permitted under current rules. The legislation applies retroactively to qualifying service performed after January 28, 2008, ensuring that past service is recognized for these retirement calculations.

HR 10178: SHIELD Act

The SHIELD Act would prohibit local school districts that receive federal education funds from allowing organizations that provide abortions to distribute information about those services to students on school grounds or through the district's virtual platforms. This ban specifically covers sharing or reposting such materials on social media on behalf of outside abortion providers. The bill defines "abortion-related service" as any medical, surgical, or support care directly related to terminating a pregnancy.

HR 10168: Veterans Housing Opportunity Act

The Veterans Housing Opportunity Act establishes a five-year pilot program that allows the Department of Housing and Urban Development to identify public housing agencies that are not effectively using their HUD-VASH vouchers. If an agency is found to be chronically underutilizing these funds, the department may take back the unused voucher assistance and redistribute it to other agencies. These reallocated vouchers must then be provided to veterans who are currently homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. The bill requires the department to report on the program's efficiency and housing outcomes after three years, while ensuring that any veteran who receives a voucher under this pilot keeps it even if the pilot program ends.
