The Data to Save Moms Act aims to improve maternal health outcomes by increasing funding and support for maternal mortality review committees across the United States. The bill provides $10 million annually from 2027 to 2031 to help these committees recruit more diverse community members, including people with personal experiences of maternal mortality or severe health complications, and to address barriers like transportation and compensation that prevent participation. It also requires committees to conduct outreach to racial and ethnic minority communities and publicly report on their review processes and diversity efforts. Additionally, the legislation directs the Health and Human Services Secretary to study maternal health data collection methods, conduct a specific study on American Indian and Alaska Native maternal health outcomes, and award grants to minority-serving institutions for research on maternal mortality disparities.
The PREDICT Act prohibits federal government officials, including Members of Congress, their spouses and dependents, high-ranking executive branch employees, and political appointees from trading on prediction markets tied to political events. This restriction applies to any agreement or transaction where payment depends on whether a specific political event occurs, does not occur, or happens to a certain degree. If a covered individual violates this rule, they must pay a 10% fee and forfeit any profits from the transaction, with penalties paid from personal funds rather than government salaries or allowances. The Office of Government Ethics will issue guidance on undefined terms and publish details of any fines on a public website.
The Recreational Drone Empowerment Act clarifies that recreational drone operators may fly in specific controlled airspace without needing additional permission. It amends federal aviation law to explicitly include Class E airspace above uncontrolled Class G airspace and Class E airspace extensions around airports (such as near airports with Class B, C, D, or E surface areas). This change directly affects hobbyist drone users by removing ambiguity about where they can legally operate their devices. The bill makes existing rules clearer but does not alter overall flight restrictions or create new requirements.
HR 6267, the Aviation Supply Chain Safety and Security Digitization Act of 2025, directs the Comptroller General to study challenges in adopting digital documentation across the aviation supply chain. The study will examine barriers for manufacturers, repair stations, airlines, and brokers in using digital tools like electronic FAA Form 8130-3, as well as the FAA’s transition from paper records and physical signatures to digital systems. It requires a report within one year of enactment, including recommendations to encourage digital adoption industry-wide and accelerate the FAA’s shift to digital documentation. The bill does not create new regulations but aims to identify pathways for modernizing supply chain verification to combat counterfeit parts. The Transportation Secretary must respond to recommendations within 120 days of the report’s submission.
This bill establishes new safety and medical requirements for "unified boxing organizations" (UBOs), which are boxing groups that manage title belts and rankings without separate sanctioning bodies. It directly affects UBOs and boxers under their contracts by mandating comprehensive medical screenings (including annual physicals, brain MRIs, and pregnancy tests for female boxers), requiring two ambulances and three physicians at ringside during matches, and providing boxers with mandatory health insurance covering $25,000 in injury costs. Key provisions include strict anti-doping testing protocols (with no cost to boxers), prohibitions on boxers betting on matches, and UBOs covering all medical expenses. The bill also requires UBOs to register publicly with the Federal Trade Commission and adhere to updated industry standards for boxer compensation and safety.
The Supersonic Aviation Modernization Act requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to issue new regulations within one year of enactment, enabling commercial supersonic flights (faster than the speed of sound) over U.S. airspace without special permission. These regulations would only permit such flights if the aircraft is operated to prevent sonic booms from reaching the ground. The bill directly affects companies developing and operating supersonic aircraft, as well as the FAA, which must revise existing rules to accommodate this change. This policy shift removes current barriers to routine supersonic travel in U.S. airspace under specific noise-reduction conditions.
Pilot Certificate Accessibility Act This bill allows a pilot to present a digital copy of certain certificates (e.g., an airman certificate or a medical certificate) when required to present such documentation by a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector. Under current FAA regulations, a pilot must present for inspection a physical copy of an airman certificate and other paperwork upon a request from the FAA; a federal, state, or local law enforcement officer; or an authorized representative of the Transportation Security Administration or the National Transportation Safety Board. This bill allows a pilot to present a certificate such as an airman certificate or a medical certificate to an FAA inspector as (1) a physical, original copy; or (2) a digital copy stored on an electronic device or cloud storage platform. The FAA must update current regulations to implement this change.
This resolution expresses support for designating March 24, 2026, as National Agriculture Day to honor the agricultural industry. It does not create new laws or change existing policies but serves as a symbolic gesture to recognize agriculture's economic importance in the United States. The measure is a non-binding expression of appreciation rather than a legislative action with enforceable provisions.
This bill establishes safety and security standards for online platforms and delivery services that accept Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits. It requires the Food and Nutrition Service to create rules for digital privacy, cybersecurity, fair working conditions including prevailing wages, and food safety for stores and wholesalers participating in the program. Retailers must report their compliance with these standards within 18 months of the rules being finalized, and noncompliance could result in losing authorization to accept SNAP benefits. The legislation aims to protect users and workers while ensuring food safety in the growing digital food assistance landscape.
This bill modifies tax rules to provide financial incentives for small oil and gas producers operating in marginal or low-production areas. It changes how the percentage depletion tax deduction is calculated, allowing a higher deduction rate based on oil prices and adjusting that rate annually using an inflation measure called the Producer Price Index. The legislation also removes certain income limits that restrict how much of this tax benefit producers can claim and doubles the minimum oil production threshold from 1,000 to 2,000 barrels to qualify for the deduction. These tax changes would take effect for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2026, primarily affecting independent oil and gas companies and rural communities dependent on these industries.
This bill amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to exempt veterans from work requirements when applying for SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits. It directly affects veterans who would otherwise face work requirements for SNAP eligibility. The key change adds "a veteran" as a specific exemption category in Section 6(o)(3), updating the existing list of exempt groups. This creates a clear, automatic exemption for veterans under current law, removing a barrier to accessing food assistance.
HR 7251, the "Prohibit Partisan Park Passes Act," amends federal law to prevent the use of living political figures on National Park Service and federal recreational lands passes. The bill specifically prohibits including images of current or former elected officials or other living political figures on these passes. This change directly affects the National Park Service, which issues the passes, and ensures the design remains neutral. The law modifies existing regulations under the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act to remove partisan imagery from these commonly used visitor passes.
