HR 223: Adoption Information Act

This bill requires family planning services funded under Title V of the Social Security Act to provide pamphlets containing regional adoption center contact information to patients during consultations about medical or abortion services. The pamphlets must include a comprehensive list of adoption centers in the region, along with each center's address and phone number. It mandates that services offer patients the opportunity to read these pamphlets at the time of inquiry. The provision uses existing Title V funding and does not create new financial obligations.

HR 180: To promote accountability and transparency in future executive orders.

HR 180 requires the President to provide Congress and the public with a 30-day advance notification before issuing any new executive order related to U.S. energy policy. The notification must include the order's text, affected laws, constitutional compliance details, implementation methods, and a list of entities consulted. It also mandates annual reports to Congress starting six months after enactment, detailing outcomes of these energy-related executive orders. This bill directly affects the President and federal agencies implementing energy policy, aiming to increase transparency around such decisions.

HR 128: Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2023

HR 128, the Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2023, blocks federal funding to Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its affiliates for one year unless they certify they will not perform or fund abortions (except in cases of rape, incest, or life-threatening conditions for the patient). This directly affects Planned Parenthood clinics and their federal funding streams. The bill redirects $235 million to community health centers under the Public Health Service Act to continue providing women’s health services like contraception, cancer screenings, and prenatal care. It requires repayment of funds if Planned Parenthood violates the certification and explicitly states the law won’t reduce overall federal funding for women’s health services.

HRES 42: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee, as an entity of the United States Postal Service, should issue a commemorative stamp in honor of Congressman Elijah E. Cummings.

HRES 42 is a symbolic resolution expressing the House's desire for the U.S. Postal Service's Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee to consider issuing a commemorative stamp honoring late Congressman Elijah E. Cummings (D-MD). It does not create new law or affect any specific people or policies - it only requests the USPS committee recommend a stamp to the Postmaster General. The resolution highlights Cummings' career, including his service as Oversight Committee Chair and advocacy for issues like drug pricing and postal service stability. As a non-binding resolution, it has no legal effect but aims to formally recognize his legacy through a commemorative stamp.

Act 24-640), which the Council enacted on October 18, 2022. If passed by Congress and signed into law, this resolution would block the local voting rights amendment from taking effect.

HR 345: TRUST in Congress Act

HR 345, the TRUST in Congress Act, requires Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children to place certain investments into a "blind trust" within 90 days of taking office or after the bill's enactment. It directly affects current and future lawmakers and their immediate family members by mandating that covered investments - such as stocks, commodities, or derivatives (excluding Treasury bonds and some mutual funds) - be placed in a trust they cannot manage. Members must certify the trust setup to House or Senate officials within 15 days, and trusts cannot be dissolved until 180 days after leaving office. The law excludes investments providing primary income (e.g., from a spouse's job) but requires transparency through public website disclosures of certifications.

HR 348: Transparency in COVID–19 Expenditures Act

HR 348, the Transparency in COVID-19 Expenditures Act, requires a nonpartisan government auditor to review how federal funds from major pandemic relief laws were spent. The audit covers all money provided by key legislation including the CARES Act, Families First Act, and the American Rescue Plan. The auditor must produce a detailed report for Congress on how the funds were used, focusing on accountability and spending details. This bill does not change funding levels or create new programs - it only mandates a review of existing pandemic relief expenditures. The summary applies to all federal agencies that received these specific relief funds.
