SRES 612: A resolution acknowledging the fourth anniversary of Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine, reaffirming support for the people of Ukraine, and emphasizing the importance of robust United States security guarantees within a transatlantic commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty.

SRES 612 is a non-binding Senate resolution acknowledging the fourth anniversary of Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine. It reaffirms U.S. support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity within its 1991 borders, condemns Russia’s attacks on civilians and infrastructure, and emphasizes the need for sustained U.S. and transatlantic security guarantees. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but expresses congressional support for Ukraine’s defense and calls for continued international cooperation. It specifically highlights Russia’s targeting of Ukrainian children and U.S. companies as part of its aggression. As a symbolic gesture, it has no legal effect on policy or funding.

HR 1965: Veteran Education Assistance Adjustment Act

This bill increases the annual stipend for books, supplies, and educational materials under the Post-9/11 GI Bill from $1,000 to $1,400, effective immediately. It also establishes a new automatic annual adjustment starting in fiscal year 2026, tying stipend increases to inflation using the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Specifically, the stipend will rise each year by the percentage difference between the current CPI and the previous year’s CPI. This directly affects veterans using the Post-9/11 Educational Assistance Program for their education expenses.

HR 1957: End Veteran Homelessness Act of 2025

End Veteran Homelessness Act of 2025 This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to furnish case management to certain veterans who are eligible for the HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) program administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the VA. Specifically, the VA must furnish case management to veterans who are eligible for HUD-VASH that the VA determines require case management. The VA must prioritize vulnerable homeless veterans in assigning case managers and providing services. The VA must take certain actions if a veteran refuses case management. HUD or a public housing authority may not revoke assistance solely on the basis that a veteran has refused case management. Additionally, a veteran may not be evicted or penalized by the owner of a property solely on the basis that they have refused case management or cannot be provided case management for health and safety reasons. The Government Accountability Office must report to Congress on veterans who are served by the HUD-VASH program, case managers and case management services provided under the program, and metrics about housing stability for veterans participating in federal housing assistance programs. The bill also provides statutory authority to expand eligibility for the HUD-VASH program to any veteran who is homeless, at risk of homelessness, or receiving assistance under another housing assistance program if the VA determines a voucher under HUD-VASH is more appropriate. (Currently, assistance is statutorily limited to certain veterans who have chronic mental illness or substance use disorders.)

HR 7622: Iran Human Rights, Internet Freedom, and Accountability Act of 2026

This bill directs U.S. agencies to support Iranian people's access to uncensored information and hold Iranian officials accountable for human rights abuses. It requires the State Department and FCC to report on technologies (like satellite networks and mesh systems) that could bypass internet restrictions in Iran, and authorizes $2 million annually to develop such tools. The bill also establishes a new "Iran Kleptocracy Initiative" at FinCEN to track corruption, freeze assets of Iranian regime officials and state-owned businesses, and coordinate with international partners. These measures apply to U.S. policy toward Iran but do not alter Iran's domestic laws; they focus on U.S. sanctions, technology development, and anti-corruption efforts targeting the Iranian regime.

The bill does not alter tax rates or create new programs, only modifying how eligible equipment is treated under existing tax code provisions.

HR 7599: Federal Extreme Risk Protection Order Act of 2026

HR 7599 creates a federal framework for extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs), allowing family members or law enforcement to petition courts to temporarily prohibit individuals from possessing firearms when they pose a risk of harm to themselves or others. The bill establishes a process for issuing ex parte orders (up to 14 days) followed by a hearing within 72 hours to determine if a longer-term order (up to 180 days) should be issued, requiring respondents to surrender firearms to U.S. Marshals or designated law enforcement. Courts must consider specific factors like recent threats, violence, substance abuse, or cruelty to animals before issuing orders, with no fees for petitioners. The law requires law enforcement training to address bias, includes annual reporting requirements, and ensures firearms are returned once the order expires and the individual is eligible to own firearms under federal law.

HR 7577: TIP Improvement Act of 2026

HR 7577, the TIP Improvement Act of 2026, raises the minimum wage for tipped employees to the standard federal minimum wage (not the lower tipped wage) and requires employers to retain all tips for employees, allowing only permitted tip pooling. It also updates tax rules by doubling the qualified tip deduction limit for joint returns ($50,000), adding safeguards against fraud (like requiring tips be paid to unrelated individuals without business ownership ties), and including automatic gratuities in hospitality, food service, and cosmetology professions as deductible tips. The bill directly affects tipped workers in these industries by improving their pay security and tax benefits. Key provisions take effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025.

HR 7568: Hot Rock Act

HR 7568, the Hot Rock Act, funds research and development for "hot dry rock" geothermal energy - a next-generation technology that extracts heat from superhot (300°C+) rock formations with low natural permeability. It authorizes $16-30 million annually (2027-2031) for grant programs targeting high-temperature drilling, reservoir creation, and supercritical fluid research, plus a workforce training program to transition oil/gas workers into geothermal roles. The bill directly affects eligible entities (National Labs, universities, private companies) and covered individuals (U.S. oil/gas workers seeking geothermal careers), with provisions requiring seismic monitoring and risk research. Key mechanisms include milestone-based grants for achieving technical goals like drilling to supercritical temperatures and developing new well-casing methods.

HR 7543: Plastic Pellet Free Waters Act

HR 7543, the Plastic Pellet Free Waters Act, prohibits plastic pellets and pre-production plastic materials from being discharged into waterways through wastewater, spills, or runoff from specific facilities. It directly affects plastic manufacturing, molding, packaging, and transportation facilities regulated under existing environmental rules. Within 60 days of enactment, the EPA must issue a rule banning these discharges and update all relevant wastewater, stormwater, and performance standards in permits. The law requires all permits and standards for these facilities to reflect the new ban, ensuring plastic pellets cannot enter water systems. This is a concrete regulatory change to prevent plastic pollution at its source.

HR 7526: Safe Skies Act of 2026

The Safe Skies Act of 2026 requires the Transportation Secretary to extend existing flightcrew rest and duty rules - currently applied to passenger flights - to all-cargo air carrier operations within 30 days of the bill's enactment. This directly affects flight crews and cargo airlines, ensuring they follow the same rest and duty time limits as those serving passengers. The bill modifies a 2012 FAA rule (77 Fed. Reg. 330) to apply universally, bypassing standard rulemaking procedures (5 U.S.C. § 553) for this specific adjustment. It makes no new policy changes beyond applying current passenger flight rules to cargo operations.
