The Voter Choice Act establishes a federal program to assist states and local governments in transitioning to ranked choice voting systems for elections. Under this bill, the Election Assistance Commission would provide technical support and financial grants to help jurisdictions acquire necessary equipment, design ballots, and create educational materials for voters.

The Find Our Families Act of 2026 requires the Department of Homeland Security to create a public online system that allows families to locate individuals detained by Customs and Border Protection or Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This system must provide search results within eight hours of detention, display information in multiple languages, and include specific details such as names, dates of birth, and facility locations, while excluding data for minors. The bill also mandates that families be notified within five hours if a detainee is transferred for medical care and establishes new reporting requirements for CBP arrests, including details on the circumstances of the arrest and the number of agents involved. Additionally, the legislation creates a process for families to report errors in detainee information and imposes penalties on employees or contractors who fail to comply with these data-sharing and reporting obligations.

Finally, the Act authorizes new user fees and additional funding for the Health Resources and Services Administration to support expanded audits and enforcement activities.

The measure targets the provision of engines, technical data, and related support for the TF-X aircraft, which was proposed for sale in June 2026.

The Living Wage for Federal Contractors Act mandates that employees working on federal contracts receive a basic hourly wage that starts at $17.00 and increases annually to $25.00, with future adjustments tied to inflation.

To enforce compliance, the bill allows the government to terminate contracts for wage violations, requires contractors to repay double the amount of unpaid wages, and prohibits future contract awards to firms repeatedly found in violation. Additionally, the legislation updates existing wage standards under the Davis-Bacon and Service Contract Acts to ensure they align with the new federal living wage floor.

This resolution condemns China's new Ethnic Unity Law and the Communist Party's campaign of forced assimilation against ethnic and religious minorities, including Tibetans, Uyghurs, and others.

Additionally, it affirms that the recognition of Tibetan Buddhist leaders is a religious matter free from Chinese interference and calls for the release of political prisoners.
