Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.

HR 10332, the Sunset Section 230 Act, would repeal Section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934, a provision that currently shields online platforms from legal liability for content posted by their users. By removing this protection, the bill directly affects internet service providers, social media companies, and other interactive computer services, making them potentially responsible for user-generated material under existing defamation and copyright laws. The legislation also includes numerous conforming amendments to update definitions and cross-references in various federal statutes, including the Trademark Act and criminal codes, to ensure consistency with the repeal. These changes would take effect two years after the date of enactment.

This resolution honors the 100th anniversary of the American Cleaning Institute, which was founded in 1926 and represents the U.S. cleaning products industry. It recognizes that the sector supports over $100 billion in annual economic output and sustains nearly 125,000 jobs across all 50 states. The bill commends the organization for its focus on innovation, sustainability, and science-based safety standards. Additionally, it expresses support for continued partnerships between Congress and industry leaders to guide public policy related to cleaning products.

The Patient Navigation Assistance Act amends federal law to require states to reimburse Medicaid for patient navigator services provided to eligible individuals by qualified health care or community-based organizations. These navigators, who must hold specific degrees and certifications in fields such as nursing or social work, help patients access medical, social, and financial resources through referrals and individualized education. The bill also classifies these services as covered medical assistance, allowing the federal government to share the cost of providing them with states.

Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
