HR 6275: China AI Power Report Act

The China AI Power Report Act requires the Secretary of Commerce to produce annual reports to Congress assessing China's artificial intelligence capabilities. These reports would cover detailed technical assessments of Chinese semiconductor manufacturing, AI models, research funding, computational capacity, and other key areas related to China's AI development. The legislation mandates specific evaluations of China's chip production, fabrication facilities, semiconductor equipment, AI models, and how these capabilities are being used domestically and internationally. The reports aim to inform U.S. export control policies and maintain U.S. strategic advantage in AI technology, with unclassified summaries to be made publicly available.

HR 4105: VET Act of 2025

HR 4105, the VET Act of 2025, establishes a federal grant program to help veterans, active-duty service members transitioning out of the military, and their spouses secure jobs in the energy industry. The program provides grants to energy companies (including manufacturers of solar, wind, or nuclear equipment) to cover costs like job training, recruitment, and relocation for eligible individuals - prioritizing those with military energy experience, in opportunity zones, or facing barriers like homelessness. Grants are capped at $10,000 per hire, with a maximum $500,000 annual limit per company, funded at $60 million yearly from 2026-2031. Companies must report on job retention, employee satisfaction, and program outcomes to the Department of Labor, with a final evaluation due to Congress by 2030.

HR 3307: Eastern Mediterranean Gateway Act

HR 3307, the Eastern Mediterranean Gateway Act, directs the U.S. government to prioritize diplomatic and security cooperation with Egypt, Greece, Cyprus, and Israel to support their role as a strategic gateway for the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC). The bill requires the Secretary of State to institutionalize strategic dialogues with these countries, prioritize energy and defense cooperation in the region, and submit annual reports on implementation and multilateral initiatives. It also mandates studies on expanding U.S. bilateral programs (like those with Israel) to include Eastern Mediterranean partners and analyzing the Cyprus security center as a model. The bill does not create new funding but guides existing U.S. policy and coordination efforts.

HR 2878: Daniel J. Harvey, Jr. and Adam Lambert Improving Servicemember Transition to Reduce Veteran Suicide Act

This bill amends the Department of Defense's Transition Assistance Program (TAP) and the Department of Veterans Affairs' Solid Start Program to enhance mental health support during military-to-civilian transitions. It requires TAP to provide specific information on suicide risk factors (including depression, homelessness, and relationship strain), treatment options for conditions like PTSD and substance abuse, and the impact of losing social support systems. The Solid Start Program must now assist veterans in enrolling in VA healthcare and educate them about available mental health resources. The Secretaries of Defense and Veterans Affairs must jointly report to Congress within one year on the materials developed under these changes.

HR 7161: No Private Bounty Hunters for Immigration Enforcement Act

HR 7161, the "No Private Bounty Hunters for Immigration Enforcement Act," prohibits the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from using private contractors for immigration enforcement tasks like tracking individuals (skip tracing), surveillance, or location verification. It bans DHS from entering new contracts for these purposes after enactment, terminates existing contracts allowing them, and amends others to prohibit them. The bill also blocks federal funds from paying private entities per-person or via bonuses for locating individuals under immigration detainers, except for limited government-supervised data tools. DHS must audit all relevant contracts within 30 days of the bill's enactment to ensure compliance.

HR 7163: PUBLIC SAFETY Act

HR 7163, the PUBLIC SAFETY Act, increases federal funding for local law enforcement by amending two key programs. It extends the deadline for COPS Hiring Program grants to September 30, 2030, and waives certain requirements for smaller jurisdictions (under 175 officers) and tribal governments to access funds. The bill appropriates $45 billion for fiscal year 2025 for the Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program, available until September 30, 2029. These changes directly affect local police departments, counties, municipalities, and tribal governments seeking federal funding to hire officers and support public safety initiatives. The core policy change is expanding access to funding for smaller agencies while significantly increasing overall grant availability.

The bill mandates that dealers verify a buyer’s identity using a photo ID during every transaction and prohibits online or remote sales. It also creates new recordkeeping rules requiring dealers to report multiple sales of over 1,000 ammunition rounds to an unlicensed person within 5 business days. These provisions update existing federal firearms laws to apply specifically to ammunition transactions.

HR 7158: Expanding AI Voices Act

This bill creates a new grant program to increase U.S. artificial intelligence research capacity by funding specific institutions. It provides competitive funding to institutions not in the top 100 for federal research spending, historically Black colleges, minority-serving institutions, Tribal Colleges, or consortia of these entities. Funds can be used for AI research programs, faculty development, student bridge programs, research resources, and integrating ethical AI practices. The program aims to broaden participation in AI from underserved communities and avoid duplicating existing federal AI initiatives.

HR 7143: Roadside Pollinator Program Amendments Act

This bill amends a federal program to promote pollinator-friendly vegetation along roadsides and highway rights-of-way. It expands eligibility to include 501(c)(3) nonprofits managing such projects and requires consultation with the Fish and Wildlife Service before finalizing plans. The bill increases annual funding from $150,000 to $500,000 for program administration and raises the annual funding cap for projects from $2 million to $5 million (for fiscal years 2026-2031). These changes directly affect state transportation departments, federal land agencies, and qualifying nonprofit organizations managing roadside vegetation. The key policy shift is broadening partnership opportunities while increasing funding and clarifying consultation requirements.

HR 7137: Shutdown Fairness Act

HR 7137, the Shutdown Fairness Act, requires federal agencies to pay covered employees (including most federal workers and military personnel) and covered contractors their regular pay during government shutdowns. It appropriates funds from the Treasury to cover standard employee compensation and contractor payments for work performed during a lapse in regular appropriations, ensuring pay continues without delay (within 7 days if a shutdown is ongoing at enactment) and aligns with regular pay schedules. The bill applies only to individuals employed or with accepted offers before the shutdown began and mandates that these payments be charged to future appropriations. It does not change agency obligations under existing contracts or authorize new spending beyond the specified shutdown period.

HR 7138: Stop Wall Street Landlords Act of 2026

HR 7138 disallows tax deductions for mortgage interest and depreciation on single-family homes (1-4 units) owned by large investment entities with over $100 million in assets, while imposing a 100% excise tax on sales or transfers of such properties. The bill directly affects institutional landlords (e.g., large real estate investment firms), excluding government entities, nonprofits, and federally assisted housing. Revenue from the tax will fund low-income housing programs via the Housing Trust Fund. It also prohibits Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae from purchasing or guaranteeing mortgages for these properties. The provisions apply 18 months after enactment.
