This bill, titled the No Exceptions for Non-Citizens Voting Act, aims to strengthen penalties for non-citizens who vote illegally in the United States. It modifies federal law to make voting by aliens a specific ground for inadmissibility and deportability under immigration statutes. The legislation also removes existing exceptions that previously allowed certain non-citizens to vote in federal elections without facing these specific immigration consequences. By updating the Immigration and Nationality Act, the bill ensures that any alien who votes in violation of any election law faces potential removal from the country.
The Fair Day in Court for Kids Act of 2026 aims to improve the immigration court process for unaccompanied children by guaranteeing them government-funded legal representation. Under this bill, the Department of Health and Human Services would appoint lawyers for these children as soon as they enter federal custody, ensuring they have an attorney for every stage of their case, even if they turn 18 or are reunited with family while proceedings are pending. The law also requires that children receive copies of their immigration files at least seven days before a hearing and allows them to have a lawyer present during interviews and detention facility visits. Additionally, the bill mandates annual reports on how many children received counsel and establishes rules for pro bono legal services to support these efforts.
This joint resolution seeks to reject a specific rule issued by the Department of Health and Human Services regarding the Child Care and Development Fund. By invoking a statutory process, the bill aims to prevent the rule from taking effect, which would stop the Department from implementing the proposed changes to child care funding flexibility. The measure directly impacts the administration of federal child care assistance programs and affects families and organizations relying on the CCDF. If passed, the original regulations published in May 2026 would be nullified and have no legal force.
This bill is a resolution that formally recognizes the week of June 14 through June 21, 2026, as National Men's Health Week. It does not create new laws or change federal funding but instead encourages the President to issue a proclamation asking the public and organizations to observe the week with awareness events. The measure highlights statistics on men's health disparities, such as lower life expectancy and higher rates of certain diseases, to emphasize the importance of preventive care and early detection. By promoting these health goals, the resolution aims to encourage men to seek medical checkups and adopt healthier lifestyles without altering any existing policies.
The Timeshare Transparency Act requires timeshare companies to provide buyers with a single document detailing all acquisition and maintenance costs, potential fee changes, exit options, and a 14-day penalty-free cancellation period. Before signing an agreement, consumers must have a chance to review these documents independently, away from company employees. The Federal Trade Commission is authorized to enforce these requirements and issue necessary rules, treating violations as unfair or deceptive practices. This law applies to agreements made after a 90-day waiting period and does not prevent states from enforcing stricter consumer protections.
The No American Left Behind Act directs the Department of Defense to submit a detailed report to Congress within 180 days regarding its efforts to recover, repatriate, and account for U.S. citizens who are held hostage, unlawfully detained, or missing abroad. This report must specifically cover cases in regions like Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan and analyze how military planning, intelligence, and diplomatic strategies influence these recovery operations. The legislation requires the Secretary of Defense to assess current policies, identify gaps in authority or resources, and evaluate the feasibility of creating a formal "No American Left Behind" doctrine to guide future efforts. Ultimately, the bill aims to ensure that considerations for the safety and return of American nationals are integrated into core defense planning and contingency operations.
The No Equipment Left Behind Act of 2026 requires the Department of Defense to submit detailed reports to Congress within 60 days of any significant troop withdrawal or redeployment in designated areas. These reports must include comprehensive inventories of military equipment, cost estimates for disposal options like selling or destroying items, and specific plans to prevent captured gear from being used by hostile groups. The law also mandates that the Secretary of Defense obtain written approval from senior leadership for any decision to abandon, destroy, or demilitarize equipment valued over $10 million. Additionally, the bill establishes annual reporting requirements and tasks the Government Accountability Office with reviewing how the department implements these new accountability measures.
The Tax Dollar Accountability Act requires states and local governments that receive federal funds to provide the Comptroller General with access to their financial records, budgets, and contracts for audits and evaluations. Under this bill, these entities must submit such documents annually within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year. If a state fails to comply with this request, the Office of Management and Budget is authorized to withhold, suspend, or condition future federal funding until access is granted.
HR 5408, the Faster Labor Contracts Act, requires employers to begin negotiating a first contract with a newly certified union within 10 days of written request. If no agreement is reached within 90 days, the parties must seek mediation, and if unresolved after 30 days of mediation, the dispute moves to binding arbitration by a three-member panel. The arbitration decision, based on factors like employer finances, industry standards, and cost of living, becomes binding for two years. This bill directly affects newly certified unions and their employers during initial contract negotiations, aiming to reduce delays that currently average 465 days.
This resolution proposes to impeach John McConnell, Jr., the Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island, for high crimes and misdemeanors. The bill alleges that Judge McConnell abused his judicial discretion by vacating a USCIS policy framework that paused asylum applications and immigration benefit requests for individuals from certain countries. The resolution claims this decision disregarded specific national security incidents and prioritized the interests of noncitizens over public safety. If passed, the House would formally charge the judge with conduct incompatible with his office, sending the article of impeachment to the Senate for trial.
This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for the Department of State to prevent members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from infiltrating the Iranian National Football Delegation during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. It also urges the State Department to limit the delegation's time in the United States to only what is necessary for playing scheduled matches. As a non-binding measure of congressional sentiment, the bill does not create new laws or enforceable rules but instead signals official backing for existing security protocols. The text frames these actions as necessary national security steps given the IRGC's designation as a foreign terrorist organization and its history of using sports events for intelligence gathering.
This resolution introduces articles of impeachment against U.S. District Court Judge Eleanor Louise Ross, targeting her for three specific allegations of misconduct. The first article charges her with engaging in an undisclosed extramarital affair with a law enforcement officer while on the job, which created a conflict of interest and violated judicial conduct codes. The second article accuses her of attending a partisan political event sponsored by a district attorney's campaign and admitting to drinking alcohol before presiding over a criminal case. The third article alleges that she knowingly made false statements to federal judges during an investigation into her behavior, thereby obstructing an official proceeding and violating federal law.
