HR 9833: Ensuring Kids Have Access to Medically Necessary Dental Care Act

This bill, titled the Ensuring Kids Have Access to Medically Necessary Dental Care Act, modifies the Children's Health Insurance Program to expand dental coverage for low-income children and pregnant women.

S 5109: Training Rural Law Enforcement Officers Act of 2026

This bill allows rural law enforcement agencies with fewer than 50 officers to receive free training grants from the Department of Justice.

By simplifying the application process and removing reporting burdens, the legislation aims to help smaller agencies access resources they previously lacked.

HR 9948: Addictive Design Act of 2026

The Addictive Design Act of 2026 aims to protect youth under 18 from potential mental health risks associated with artificial intelligence chatbots by banning specific features designed to create emotional attachments. To support this goal, the bill establishes a government task force to study these impacts and provides funding for research and educational outreach to parents and teachers. The legislation also mandates that companies offering AI chatbots to minors must use age verification technology and delete user data within 24 hours.

HR 9847: Improving CARE for Youth Act

The Improving CARE for Youth Act modifies Medicaid rules to allow payment for mental health, substance use disorder, and primary care services provided on the same day within the same clinic or health center. This change directly affects youth and adults receiving care by removing previous restrictions that often prevented billing for these combined visits. The bill defines "same-day qualifying services" to include scenarios where a patient sees both a primary care provider and a mental health specialist in one visit, or vice versa, at facilities like Federally qualified health centers or physician offices. By updating the Social Security Act, the legislation aims to streamline access to coordinated care without imposing new limitations on how these services are billed.
