HR 8699: Safe Transit for All Act of 2026

The Safe Transit for All Act of 2026 requires large public transit agencies in urban areas with over 200,000 people to collect and publish data on street harassment experienced by passengers. This data collection includes details about the type of harassment, the demographics of those affected, and how these incidents impact ridership, while also establishing reporting mechanisms and response protocols. The bill defines street harassment as intimidating or threatening words, gestures, or actions directed at individuals based on protected characteristics such as race, age, or disability. Additionally, the legislation mandates that this information be added to the national transit database to improve overall safety monitoring.

This ban applies to both lenders offering these short-term credit products and dealers who accept such loans for firearm sales.

HR 8691: Nursing is a Professional Degree Act

This bill, titled the Nursing is a Professional Degree Act, updates federal definitions to classify nursing degrees as professional degrees. It directly affects students pursuing nursing education and the federal financial aid programs that support them. The legislation amends the Higher Education Act to explicitly list nursing degrees, such as the Master of Science in Nursing and Doctor of Nursing Practice, alongside other advanced fields like medicine and law. By making this change, the bill ensures that nursing programs are recognized at the same level as other established professional disciplines within the federal student aid system.

HR 8680: Armed Forces Carry Rights Protection Act of 2026

The Armed Forces Carry Rights Protection Act of 2026 modifies federal law to make it easier for military personnel to carry personal firearms on military bases when they are not on duty. Under this bill, commanders would face a legal presumption in favor of approving such requests, shifting the default stance toward allowing carry rather than restricting it. If a commander does deny a request, the law requires them to provide a written explanation that is specific to the individual and based on objective criteria. This change directly affects active-duty service members and the commanders who evaluate their requests for firearm authorization on installation.

HR 8679: To amend title 38, United States Code, to require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to transmit a veteran's history of opioid prescriptions to a Community Care health care provider.

This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to share a veteran's history of opioid prescriptions with their community healthcare providers. The rule applies to veterans receiving care outside the VA system and mandates that this prescription data be sent to both the specific non-VA doctors treating them and any third-party administrators managing their care. By updating existing regulations, the legislation aims to improve coordination between VA medical records and private healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive treatment information is available.

HR 8672: To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow a deduction for loan interest payments made with respect to certain vehicles.

This bill proposes to allow taxpayers to deduct interest payments on loans used to purchase certain vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, and recreational vehicles. The legislation defines eligible vehicles as those with fewer than 14,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating or those designed for temporary living quarters like campers and trailers. These tax benefits would only apply to debts incurred after December 31, 2025, expanding the current rules that previously excluded most vehicle loans from interest deductions.

HR 8667: MISSION Rx Act

The MISSION Rx Act ensures that military beneficiaries and veterans pay no more for specific negotiated drugs than Medicare Part D beneficiaries do. It achieves this by capping the out-of-pocket costs for TRICARE-covered servicemembers and copayments for veterans at the same levels established under the federal drug price negotiation program. Additionally, the bill requires federal agencies to limit the maximum prices they agree to pay pharmaceutical manufacturers for these same negotiated drugs. These changes apply to existing contracts and new agreements involving drugs selected for federal price negotiation.

HR 8662: To provide assisted living assistance through Medicaid and low-income housing tax credit.

This bill expands Medicaid coverage to include services in assisted living facilities for individuals who currently require hospital or nursing home care, provided they meet state income and resource limits. It also modifies the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit to give priority funding to projects that help reduce long-term medical costs for the elderly by offering care in non-institutional settings. Both changes are scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2027, allowing states time to update their laws and plans to comply with the new requirements.
