This bill directs the Small Business Administration to create educational resources for small business owners and employees regarding their rights and responsibilities during immigration enforcement actions. The SBA must develop online modules, a physical card, and planning guides that explain how to respond to searches or arrests, including the constitutional right to remain silent and consult a lawyer. These materials will be made available in English and the 15 most commonly spoken languages in the U.S., with content reviewed by legal experts and government agencies to ensure accuracy.
This bill establishes federal protections and funding to expand access to in vitro fertilization and intrauterine insemination for individuals, military service members, and veterans. It requires most private health plans, Medicaid programs, and Medicare to cover these fertility treatments without imposing higher cost-sharing than other medical services. Additionally, the legislation mandates that the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs provide specific fertility preservation and treatment benefits to uniformed service members and eligible veterans. The bill also includes preemption clauses that override state laws restricting these procedures and prohibits discrimination based on marital status, sex, or sexual orientation in the provision of care.
This bill, titled the No AI Data Centers on Federal Lands Act, prohibits the construction and operation of large-scale artificial intelligence data centers on any land owned or managed by the United States government. It requires federal agencies to immediately stop building or running such facilities and mandates the removal of existing structures within 30 days of the law's enactment. The legislation defines these centers as buildings with high power usage or advanced cooling systems used for developing AI models, while also specifying that any cleanup must follow environmental safety standards.
The Stealth Bot Prohibition Act makes it illegal to use automated software, known as stealth bots, to access websites without revealing their identity or purpose. Specifically, the law bans deploying these bots in ways that harm online services and prohibits disguising them as human users when interacting with generative artificial intelligence systems. Violations can result in civil penalties of up to $53,000 per incident, which are enforced by the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general. The bill defines a stealth bot as any program that scrapes or scans the internet without disclosing its nature or intended use to the website operator.
The Federal Naming Standards Act prohibits the government from naming or renaming federal buildings, facilities, or programs after elected officials or political appointees while they are in office and for ten years after they leave. This restriction also applies indefinitely to individuals who earn more than $1 million annually from commercial use of their name or likeness, though it does not affect deceased individuals or names already established before the law takes effect. To enforce these rules, agency inspectors general must investigate complaints about violations and report their findings to agency heads and Congress within 90 days. The law allows for the incidental use of names in historical or educational contexts, provided the name is not used as the official title of a federal site or program.
This bill would invalidate a final rule issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that rescinded the definition of "harm" under the Endangered Species Act. By declaring that the 2026 rule has no force or effect, the legislation aims to restore the previous legal interpretation of how actions can harm protected species. This change directly affects entities subject to the Endangered Species Act by reinstating the broader regulatory framework for protecting endangered and threatened wildlife.
The Transportation for Reentry Act requires transit agencies receiving federal funding to offer free public transportation to individuals released from prison after serving at least one year. Under this bill, these agencies must provide the service for one year starting from the person's release date and cover costs related to program setup, staff training, and outreach. To receive federal grants, transit recipients must establish enrollment systems, track usage data, and ensure compliance with the program's duration requirements. The legislation authorizes $40 million annually from 2027 to 2031 to support these efforts and mandates a final report on the program's impact five years after enactment.
This bill prohibits the United States from providing any voluntary or assessed funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. The restriction applies directly to the U.S. government's financial contributions to the agency, effectively cutting off official U.S. support. However, the law allows for humanitarian aid to individuals who receive help from UNRWA if that aid is delivered through other organizations that do not promote violence, terrorism, or antisemitism. Ultimately, the legislation mandates a complete halt to direct U.S. funding for UNRWA while permitting indirect assistance under specific conditions.
The Daycare Not Detentions Act of 2026 provides additional funding to the Department of Health and Human Services to support child care programs, including the Child Care and Development Block Grant, Head Start, and preschool development grants. These funds are intended to help states and organizations cover necessary expenses for these programs through fiscal year 2029. The bill also rescinds $70 billion in previously allocated money for U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that has not yet been spent. Overall, the legislation redirects federal resources toward early childhood education and care rather than immigration enforcement activities.
This joint resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran that were not authorized by Congress. The bill is based on the constitutional finding that Congress holds the sole power to declare war and notes that no specific authorization exists for the current military operations in Iran. It mandates the withdrawal of troops while allowing the U.S. to continue defensive actions, intelligence sharing, and assistance to allies and citizens affected by the conflict. The measure applies to military engagements initiated since February 28, 2026, without explicit congressional approval.
This bill reauthorizes and expands the Accelerating Access to Critical Therapies for ALS Act through 2031, extending funding for research into treatments for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It requires drug manufacturers to share interim clinical trial data with the FDA to better assess the progress of investigational drugs and clarifies that phase 3 clinical trial definitions include combined phase 2/3 trials and planned trials not yet enrolling participants. The legislation also mandates the FDA to publish an updated five-year action plan for ALS and other rare neurodegenerative diseases, including resource needs and coordination strategies with broader disease communities. Additionally, the bill requires the Government Accountability Office to submit a report on the program's implementation four years after enactment.
This bill requires the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum to study how public K-12 schools across all states teach about the Holocaust. The study will examine whether Holocaust education is mandatory or optional in curricula, review teaching materials and methods, and assess how schools measure student understanding of the Holocaust and related issues like antisemitism. It specifically looks at teacher training, use of museum resources, and challenges schools face in implementing this education. The museum must submit a detailed report to Congress within three years of the bill's enactment. This study aims to inform future educational approaches but does not change current school requirements.
