S 5410: Firefighter PFAS Injury Compensation Act of 2026

The Firefighter PFAS Injury Compensation Act of 2026 creates a federal program to compensate firefighters who develop specific health conditions linked to exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) during their service. Eligible claimants, including active or retired firefighters with at least two years of service and the estates of deceased firefighters, may receive base awards of $50,000 for non-cancer illnesses or $250,000 for cancers, with amounts multiplied by a service modifier based on total years served. The program operates on a no-fault basis, meaning claimants do not need to prove negligence, and disputes can be appealed to the United States Court of Federal Claims. Funding for these payments comes from a new PFAS Trust Fund established in the Treasury, which is financed by a 10 percent excise tax on the sale of PFAS-containing products and a separate 10 percent tax on certain PFAS litigation settlements.

HR 10455: Debt-Free College Act of 2026

The Debt-Free College Act of 2026 establishes a state-federal partnership that provides federal grants to states to cover the unmet financial need of eligible students attending in-state public colleges, effectively making tuition debt-free for those who qualify.

HR 10453: Communications and Technology Transparency Act of 2026

This bill amends existing federal law to broaden the scope of restricted technology from "communications equipment" to a wider category of "information and communications technology or services," affecting companies that produce or provide these items. It requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to update its list of prohibited technologies at least every six months and establishes a process for removing items if the underlying national security determinations are reversed by the relevant agencies. The legislation restricts the FCC from adding new items to the ban list unless they are produced or provided by entities controlled by foreign adversaries, while also mandating that the FCC submit unclassified reports to Congress before placing any technology on the list. Additionally, it prohibits "covered entities" and their affiliates from holding certain FCC authorizations or licenses, though it includes a specific exemption for standard equipment authorizations granted prior to the item being listed.

HR 10452: Credit for Prior Learning Act

The Credit for Prior Learning Act allows students to use federal financial aid funds to pay for assessments that recognize skills learned outside of traditional classrooms. Specifically, it adds an allowance of up to $2,000 per award year to the cost of attendance calculation, which can cover test fees and other reasonable expenses associated with these evaluations. To qualify, the assessment must be based on generally accepted criteria and result in academic credit without requiring additional coursework. The bill also requires colleges to publicly disclose data on how many students receive this credit and the average number of credits awarded, broken down by race, income, and Pell Grant status.
