HRES 1228: Directing the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House of Representatives to initiate or intervene in judicial proceedings.

This resolution directs the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to take legal action in federal court to enforce a subpoena issued to Attorney General Pamela Bondi.

S 4441: CREATE AI Act

The CREATE AI Act establishes the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource, a centralized system designed to connect U.S. researchers and educators with advanced computational tools, data, software, and educational materials. Managed by the National Science Foundation, this resource will be built by coordinating contributions from federal agencies, state governments, and private organizations to support artificial intelligence research and workforce development. Access to these tools is primarily reserved for eligible U.S.-based universities, nonprofits, government entities, and small businesses, with a specific provision to exclude individuals employed by designated foreign countries. The bill also outlines a flexible fee structure that includes a free tier for users, mandates the use of open-source software where possible, and requires annual public reporting on the resource's progress.

S 4436: Protecting Human Rights and Public Health in Foreign Assistance Act

This bill, known as the Protecting Human Rights and Public Health in Foreign Assistance Act, directs federal agencies to ignore three specific final rules issued by the Department of State. It explicitly prohibits any government department from implementing, enforcing, or creating new policies similar to these existing rules, effectively treating them as if they never existed. The targeted regulations concern protecting life, combating discriminatory equity ideology, and addressing gender ideology within foreign aid programs. By nullifying these rules, the legislation removes the current administrative requirements related to these topics from U.S. foreign assistance activities.

S 4434: CLEAN Mergers Act

The CLEAN Mergers Act strengthens antitrust enforcement by requiring companies involved in mergers worth at least $10 billion to divest assets or keep them separate while regulators review the deal. It also allows agencies to retroactively investigate and force divestitures of smaller mergers if they were approved despite internal objections, evidence of corruption, or misleading information. To support these measures, the bill mandates strict record-keeping for all parties and extends the time limit for filing antitrust lawsuits from four to ten years.

HR 8582: Protecting Human Rights and Public Health in Foreign Assistance Act

This bill, titled the Protecting Human Rights and Public Health in Foreign Assistance Act, aims to cancel specific regulations issued by the Department of State. It directly affects the federal government by prohibiting any department or agency from enforcing, implementing, or proposing rules related to protecting life, combating discriminatory equity ideology, and combating gender ideology in foreign aid programs. The legislation treats these cancelled rules as if they never existed, effectively nullifying their impact on future foreign assistance policies.

S 3999: Women Veterans Specialty Care Access Act

This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to allow women veterans to directly schedule appointments for women's specialty care without needing a referral from a primary care provider. The law applies to all women veterans enrolled in the VA system who are eligible for services such as gynecology, obstetrics, maternity, and postpartum care. Under the bill, these appointments must be available through VA medical centers, clinics, and online or telephone scheduling tools without additional administrative barriers. The provision does not change existing eligibility requirements for receiving VA healthcare services.

S 3395: Mammography Access for Veterans Act of 2025

S 3395, the Mammography Access for Veterans Act of 2025, permanently expands telehealth mammography services for veterans by ending the previous pilot program restrictions. It requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide at least one mammography option - full-service, tele-screening, or mobile - in every state and Puerto Rico within two years. All programs must comply with accessibility standards for veterans with paralysis, spinal cord injuries, or other disabilities. This directly affects veterans needing breast cancer screenings, particularly those in rural areas or with mobility challenges.

S 3098: Presumptive CLARITY Act of 2025

This bill (S 3098, Presumptive CLARITY Act of 2025) requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to publish a public website listing conditions and veteran groups the VA is considering for "presumptive service connection" related to toxic exposure during military service. It mandates the VA to detail the decision process, current status of each condition/cohort, and how the public can submit comments. This directly affects veterans seeking disability benefits for health issues linked to military toxic exposure (like burn pits or Agent Orange). The VA must begin publishing this information within 180 days of the bill becoming law.

S 4425: No Immunity for Glyphosate Act

This bill, titled the No Immunity for Glyphosate Act, allows individuals who have suffered physical injury, illness, or death due to exposure to glyphosate-based herbicides or elemental phosphorus to sue manufacturers and distributors in federal court. It removes legal protections that previously shielded these companies from liability, ensuring they cannot use federal orders or contracts as a defense against lawsuits. The legislation permits victims to seek compensation for medical costs, lost income, and other damages while explicitly preserving the ability to file similar claims under state laws.

S 4422: WATCH Personnel Act of 2026

The WATCH Personnel Act of 2026 establishes a minimum annual salary of $40,000 for Transportation Security Officers and requires future salary adjustments based on inflation data. To address potential funding gaps, the bill provides continuing appropriations to ensure these officers receive their standard pay and benefits during any period when regular government funding is unavailable. Additionally, the legislation authorizes a one-time $10,000 bonus for officers working as of February 14, 2026, though this bonus is explicitly excluded from calculations for retirement and other employee benefits. The law takes effect retroactively as if it were passed on February 13, 2026, ensuring immediate financial stability for the Transportation Security Administration workforce.

S 4420: Physical Therapist Workforce and Patient Access Act of 2026

The Physical Therapist Workforce and Patient Access Act of 2026 expands the National Health Service Corps to include physical therapists, allowing them to participate in loan repayment programs to encourage practice in underserved areas. The bill directs the government to identify specific regions with shortages of physical therapy professionals and requires the collection of data to guide where these professionals are assigned. Additionally, it increases funding by $15 million to support these loan repayments and extends Medicare coverage to include physical therapy services provided at rural health clinics and federally qualified health centers starting in 2027.
