HR 8571: TREY'S Law

This bill, known as TREY's Law, aims to make nondisclosure clauses in contracts void and unenforceable if they prevent the reporting of sexual abuse involving minors. It directly affects victims of such abuse, their families, and anyone with knowledge of the abuse by allowing them to disclose these incidents without fear of civil liability. The law applies retroactively to agreements made before or after its passage and overrides any state laws that allow the enforcement of these specific clauses. While it invalidates clauses that silence abuse details, it permits parties to keep confidential other settlement terms like payment amounts, provided this does not stop the disclosure of the abuse itself.

Additionally, the legislation establishes strict rules for workforce reductions, requiring the agency to notify Congress and affected employees 60 days in advance and providing a legal remedy if this notice is not given.

S 3988: Veterans STAND Act

This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide annual preventative health evaluations to veterans with spinal cord injuries or disorders who choose to participate. These evaluations will assess risks for health complications, chronic pain management, dietary needs, prosthetic equipment functionality, and access to assistive technologies like powered mobility devices and neuromodulation systems. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs must consult with medical specialists and technology manufacturers when developing rules for these evaluations and must report annually to Congress on how many veterans receive these services and what assistive technologies are prescribed.

S 3726: National Veterans Strategy Act of 2026

The National Veterans Strategy Act of 2026 requires the President to establish measurable metrics for veteran well-being - covering health, employment, education, and social engagement - and develop a national strategy every four years to align federal, state, local, nonprofit, and private sector efforts toward improving veteran outcomes. This strategy must be developed with input from veterans, government agencies, and stakeholders like veterans' organizations and businesses, and it will guide how benefits and services are delivered to address gaps in veteran success. The bill mandates annual reports to Congress tracking progress, spending, and barriers, with a requirement for the President to update the strategy every four years based on public input and evaluation. It directly affects all veterans by creating a coordinated framework for service delivery, though specific benefits or programs are not defined by the bill itself.

S 3647: Disabled Veterans Dignity Act of 2026

This bill establishes a new Department of Veterans Affairs program to provide bowel and bladder care for veterans with spinal cord injuries or disorders who require assistance to live in non-institutional settings (like at home). It allows these veterans to receive care through family caregivers, individually employed caregivers, or home health agencies, rather than only through medical facilities. The program provides monthly stipends to family and individual caregivers (capped at nursing assistant pay rates) and prevents them from being treated as vendors or contractors for tax purposes. Care is based on individual medical needs assessed by VA, with veterans deemed to require ongoing care after three years of continuous need.

S 3395: Mammography Access for Veterans Act of 2025

S 3395, the Mammography Access for Veterans Act of 2025, permanently expands telehealth mammography services for veterans by ending the previous pilot program restrictions. It requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide at least one mammography option - full-service, tele-screening, or mobile - in every state and Puerto Rico within two years. All programs must comply with accessibility standards for veterans with paralysis, spinal cord injuries, or other disabilities. This directly affects veterans needing breast cancer screenings, particularly those in rural areas or with mobility challenges.

S 4419: A bill to amend title 31, United States Code, to require only foreign entities to report beneficial ownership information, and for other purposes.

This bill amends existing U.S. laws to require only foreign-owned companies registered in the United States to report beneficial ownership information, while exempting domestic U.S. entities from these filing requirements. Under the new rules, foreign corporations must disclose details about their owners, but any beneficial owners who are U.S. persons will not be required to provide this data. Additionally, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network is directed to delete all previously collected ownership information related to U.S. persons while retaining records for non-U.S. individuals. The legislation effectively narrows the scope of the current reporting system to focus exclusively on foreign entities operating within the United States.

S 4418: Lowering Input Costs for American Farmers Act

The Lowering Input Costs for American Farmers Act removes existing trade barriers on phosphate fertilizers imported from Morocco. It eliminates specific duties and countervailing orders previously applied to these goods, allowing them to enter the U.S. without extra fees. Additionally, the bill requires the government to refund any cash deposits that importers made while these restrictions were in place. This legislation directly affects American farmers by potentially reducing the cost of fertilizer and impacts importers by changing how they pay for these agricultural supplies.

HR 8564: Local Law Enforcement Support Act of 2026

The Local Law Enforcement Support Act of 2026 expands funding opportunities for local police departments through the Byrne JAG and COPS programs. These funds can be used to recruit and train officers, purchase protective gear, and acquire specific tools like digital forensics equipment, drone technology, and ballistics analysis systems. The bill also allows for investments in software for cyber investigations and victim services. By adding these categories to the list of eligible expenses, the legislation provides law enforcement agencies with more options for addressing modern crime challenges.

The Access to Donor Milk Act of 2026 expands federal support for nonprofit organizations that collect, test, and distribute pasteurized donor human milk. It amends existing child nutrition laws to allow state agencies to use funds for storing unprocessed milk donations and transferring them to these nonprofit banks. Additionally, the bill authorizes competitive grants to help these banks increase their capacity during declared disasters or public health emergencies. The legislation also requires the Department of Health and Human Services to launch a public awareness campaign educating parents and medical professionals about the benefits and safety of donor milk. Finally, it mandates that the Secretary of Health and Human Services convene a public meeting and issue draft safety standards for the collection and processing of donor human milk within 18 months of enactment.

HR 8539: Truth in National Parks Act

The Truth in National Parks Act requires that interpretive and educational materials in national parks be historically and culturally accurate and consistent with the parks' foundational documents. It restricts the National Park Service from removing, editing, or obscuring such materials unless they are being updated or new exhibits are being added, a process that must include consultation with relevant groups like Indian Tribes. The law also mandates that any historically accurate materials altered between January 20, 2025, and the bill's enactment be restored within 180 days. Additionally, the bill directs a government report on co-stewardship agreements between Indigenous communities and federal agencies to be submitted to Congress within one year.

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.
