HR 6495: Taxpayer Notification and Privacy Act

This bill requires the IRS to specify exactly what information it seeks from third parties (like banks or employers) before contacting them, rather than making vague requests. It gives taxpayers a minimum 45-day window to provide that specific information themselves before the IRS contacts others. Exceptions apply for cases involving tax collection or when the IRS determines information is necessary regardless of whether the taxpayer could provide it. The law applies to notices issued after a 12-month delay from its enactment date. It directly affects taxpayers whose information is sought by the IRS from third parties.

HR 227: Clergy Act

Clergy Act This bill establishes a two-year window for certain members of the clergy and Christian Science practitioners to revoke their exemption from Social Security and Medicare taxes on ministerial earnings. Under current law, such individuals who object to participation in public insurance programs on religious or conscientious grounds may apply to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for an irrevocable exemption and will not receive Social Security or Medicare benefits in retirement unless they have qualifying credits from other employment. The IRS must develop a plan to inform members of the clergy and Christian Science practitioners of their eligibility to revoke prior exemptions, pursuant to the bill's changes.

HR 8519: To require the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to waive Reid Vapor Pressure requirements with respect to calendar year 2026, and for other purposes.

This bill directs the EPA Administrator to allow the sale and use of gasoline with higher vapor pressure than usual during the summer months of 2026. The exemption applies specifically to the period between May 1 and September 15, 2026, permitting fuel that would normally be prohibited under current Clean Air Act regulations.

HR 8500: Timely Access to Coverage Decisions Act of 2026

The Timely Access to Coverage Decisions Act of 2026 establishes strict deadlines for Medicare contractors to review and decide on requests regarding local coverage rules, ensuring that complete requests are resolved within one year and incomplete ones are addressed within 60 days. To improve transparency, the bill mandates that new or significantly revised local coverage decisions go through a public process involving published drafts, open meetings with remote access options, expert panel advice, and a 30-day window for written public comments before they take effect. Additionally, the law requires the Secretary to review reconsideration decisions if requested by interested parties, such as patients, providers, or other entities, to check for errors in evidence interpretation or legal application. These measures aim to create a more predictable and open system for determining which medical items and services are covered under Medicare in specific geographic areas.

S 4378: Protecting American Taxpayers Act

The Protecting American Taxpayers Act aims to reduce government waste and fraud by requiring stricter oversight of federal programs and extending legal deadlines for prosecuting pandemic-related violations. It mandates that child care payments be based on recorded attendance rather than enrollment alone and requires agencies to report when health care spending or provider numbers spike by more than 100 percent in specific areas. The bill also prohibits small businesses from receiving federal loans or grants if an owner or key employee has been convicted of financial misconduct, while simultaneously banning foreign entities controlled by agents from certain listed countries from receiving U.S. financial assistance. Additionally, the legislation seeks to increase transparency by requiring agencies to publicly report on improper payments and other transaction agreements, and it expands whistleblower protections for employees of defense and non-defense contractors who report waste or misconduct.

HR 8494: To prohibit the Department of Homeland Security from entering into, modifying, extending, or renewing, any contract or intergovernmental service agreement to establish or operate any new immigration detention model, including the use of warehouses, modular facilities, soft-sided structures, tent systems, and processing centers.

This bill prohibits the Department of Homeland Security from using federal funds to create or expand new immigration detention facilities, including warehouses, tents, and modular structures. It directly affects immigration enforcement agencies by banning the construction, renovation, or operation of non-traditional detention centers and preventing the transfer of funds to such projects. The legislation requires any money previously allocated for these facilities to be redirected toward affordable healthcare and housing services instead. Effective immediately upon enactment, the ban applies to all existing federal funds and prevents the use of current budgets for establishing or operating alternative detention models.

HRES 1211: Expunging the December 18, 2019, and January 13, 2021, Impeachments of President Donald Trump.

This House Resolution proposes to formally "expunge" the two impeachments of President Donald Trump that passed the House of Representatives on December 18, 2019, and January 13, 2021. If passed, the resolution specifies that these impeachments would be treated "as if such Articles had never passed the full House of Representatives." This action directly affects President Trump by aiming to remove these impeachment proceedings from his official record and would alter the historical legislative record of the House. The resolution's text outlines several reasons for this action, including claims of wrongful accusations, lack of due process, and political bias in the original impeachment proceedings.
