HR 7498: After Hours Child Care Act

HR 7498, the After Hours Child Care Act, creates a new Child Care and Development Innovation Fund to expand child care access for parents working nontraditional hours (like evenings, nights, or weekends). The bill directly affects working parents with young children who struggle to find care outside standard 9-to-5 hours, aiming to help them stay employed and advance in their careers. It authorizes $25,000-$500,000 grants for up to 5 years to eligible entities (such as child care providers or partnerships with businesses) to expand existing programs, establish new onsite workplace child care, or improve facilities and staff training. Grantees must cover 25% of costs, and the Secretary of Health and Human Services must report every two years on the program’s impact, including children served and changes in child care availability.

If the home is sold within 5 years, a recapture tax may apply based on the time held.

HR 5221: PART Act

The PART Act requires new vehicles to have catalytic converters marked with a unique identification number that links directly to the vehicle's identification number, stored in a law enforcement-accessible database.

The bill also mandates that businesses buying catalytic converters keep detailed seller records (including vehicle information) for two years and use traceable payments, banning cash or cryptocurrency transactions. Additionally, it creates new federal criminal penalties for stealing or trafficking in catalytic converters, with potential sentences of up to five years in prison.

HR 7391: Community Health Center Drug Pricing Protection Act

HR 7391, the Community Health Center Drug Pricing Protection Act, requires that Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) pay the discounted 340B ceiling price for covered drugs **at the time of purchase**, not later through rebates or adjustments. This directly affects FQHCs, which rely on 340B discounts to provide affordable care to low-income patients. The bill amends the Public Health Service Act to prohibit manufacturers from entering agreements where FQHCs initially pay more than the ceiling price, with later reimbursement. It takes effect immediately upon enactment for all new drug purchases and applies to existing agreements starting then.

HR 7409: Defend Rural Health Act of 2026

HR 7409, the Defend Rural Health Act of 2026, prevents rural hospitals from being reclassified as urban Medicare facilities after October 1, 2029, unless they met specific criteria before October 1, 2026. The bill amends Medicare rules to block hospitals from retaining rural status beyond 2029, even if they applied for reclassification earlier. It also prohibits the Medicare Geographic Classification Review Board from approving new reclassification requests for hospitals already treated as rural under current rules for fiscal years starting after October 1, 2026. This directly affects rural hospitals that rely on higher Medicare payments tied to their geographic classification. The law aims to maintain stable funding for rural hospitals by restricting future reclassifications.

SJRES 102 is a congressional resolution disapproving the District of Columbia Council's approval of the D.C. Income and Franchise Tax Conformity and Revision Temporary Amendment Act of 2025 (D.C. Act A26-0217).

If passed, it would prevent the D.C. tax code changes from becoming effective.

HRES 1002: Recognizing the value of the Older Americans Act of 1965 nutrition program in addressing hunger, malnutrition, and isolation, and improving the health and quality of life for millions of our Nations seniors each year.

HRES 1002 is a symbolic House resolution recognizing the Older Americans Act (OAA) nutrition program, which provides meals and social services to seniors aged 60+. It directly affects millions of older adults - particularly those who are homebound, isolated, or facing hunger, malnutrition, or chronic health conditions - by highlighting how the program reduces hospital visits, lowers healthcare costs, and improves quality of life. Key provisions include acknowledging the program’s role in preventing falls and institutionalization, emphasizing volunteer support as its "backbone," and urging Congress to secure sustained federal funding. As a non-binding resolution, it does not change policy but formally endorses the program’s value and calls for community and legislative support.

S 3778: Carbon Resource Innovation Act

The Carbon Resource Innovation Act (S 3778) expands a federal tax credit to include businesses capturing carbon in solid or liquid form, directly affecting companies building carbon capture facilities. It modifies the existing 45Q tax credit to cover facilities that capture carbon that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere, requiring measurement at the capture source and verification at disposal. The bill sets a minimum annual capture threshold of 1,000 metric tons for these facilities and defines "solid or liquid carbon capture facility" to include systems with net carbon reductions compared to standard processes. This change aims to incentivize broader carbon capture technology adoption beyond current direct air capture methods.

HR 7361: No Tax on Restored Benefits Act

This bill amends the tax code to exclude specific Social Security benefits from taxable income. It directly affects individuals receiving Social Security benefits that were previously subject to taxation due to certain pension rules (like the Windfall Elimination Provision), but are restored under the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023. The exclusion applies only to payments attributable to those restored benefits for months between January 2025 and December 2026. This changes the tax treatment of a defined subset of Social Security payments during a specific two-year period.

HR 7340: Rebuild America’s Schools Act of 2026

The Rebuild America's Schools Act of 2026 authorizes $20 billion annually from 2027 to 2031 to improve public school facilities nationwide. The bill provides grants to states to fund school construction, renovation, and modernization projects that focus on safety, energy efficiency, and accessibility, with priority given to schools serving high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Funds cannot be used for routine maintenance, athletic facilities, or vehicles, and must meet specific environmental, safety, and energy efficiency standards. The bill also includes specific provisions for repairing school foundations affected by pyrrhotite, a mineral that causes concrete deterioration, and requires use of American-made materials for construction projects.
