SRES 600: A resolution recognizing January 2026 as "National Mentoring Month".

This resolution designates January 2026 as "National Mentoring Month" to raise public awareness about mentoring programs. It recognizes the benefits of mentoring for youth - including improved academic performance, mental health, career development, and reduced risk of delinquency - and highlights that 40% of U.S. youth lack a mentor. The Senate encourages community, school, and workplace efforts to expand existing mentoring programs and recruit volunteers to support young people. It does not create new laws or funding but aims to promote existing mentoring initiatives across the country.

HRES 1040: Recognizing the significance of the Greensboro Four sit-in during Black History Month.

HRES 1040 is a symbolic resolution recognizing the Greensboro Four sit-in during Black History Month. It commemorates the 66th anniversary of the February 1, 1960, sit-in at a Greensboro Woolworth's lunch counter, where four Black students challenged racial segregation. The resolution encourages states to include the Greensboro Four's history and contributions in school curricula. As a non-binding resolution, it has no legal effect but formally honors this pivotal civil rights moment.

S 3793: Predatory Lending Elimination Act

The Predatory Lending Elimination Act applies military lending protections to all consumers, not just military members, by setting strict interest rate limits on personal loans and credit cards. It prohibits lenders from charging excessive rates on most consumer credit (except residential mortgages, auto loans for vehicle purchases, and federal credit union loans) and bans exemptions that would weaken these caps. The law preserves stronger state consumer protections and allows state attorneys general to enforce violations within three years. It requires the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to issue rules within one year to implement these rate limits and ensure consistency with existing military lending standards.

HR 7391: Community Health Center Drug Pricing Protection Act

HR 7391, the Community Health Center Drug Pricing Protection Act, requires that Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) pay the discounted 340B ceiling price for covered drugs **at the time of purchase**, not later through rebates or adjustments. This directly affects FQHCs, which rely on 340B discounts to provide affordable care to low-income patients. The bill amends the Public Health Service Act to prohibit manufacturers from entering agreements where FQHCs initially pay more than the ceiling price, with later reimbursement. It takes effect immediately upon enactment for all new drug purchases and applies to existing agreements starting then.

HR 7354: Stop Underrides Act 2.0

This bill requires the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to establish new safety standards for side underride guards on trucks and trailers within 18 months, with full compliance required within two years. The standards mandate that these guards prevent passenger vehicles from sliding under trucks during collisions, improve safety for vulnerable road users like motorcyclists, and include aerodynamic features to aid fuel efficiency. The bill also creates an advisory committee to monitor underride safety and mandates studies to better understand and prevent these crashes. It aims to reduce the thousands of deaths and injuries from underride crashes that have occurred over the past 50 years, as documented by the National Transportation Safety Board.

HR 7347: Stop Inhumane Conditions in ICE Detention Act of 2026

HR 7347, the *Stop Inhumane Conditions in ICE Detention Act of 2026*, requires all facilities detaining noncitizens under U.S. immigration law - including contracted facilities - to implement real-time health reporting systems for medical, dental, and mental health conditions. It mandates anonymous, multilingual complaint systems for detainees with anti-retaliation protections, annual DHS audits of health conditions (including gender-specific care), and full-time health liaisons at each facility. The bill triggers contract reviews for facilities with three verified health complaints and requires quarterly public reports on conditions and complaints to Congress. These provisions directly affect ICE detention facilities, detainees, and DHS oversight processes, focusing on transparency and accountability in health care.

SRES 596: A resolution designating the week of February 2 through 6, 2026, as "National School Counseling Week".

SRES 596 is a non-binding Senate resolution designating February 2-6, 2026, as "National School Counseling Week." It directly recognizes school counselors and their role in supporting students' academic, social, emotional, and career development. The resolution encourages public awareness through ceremonies and activities to highlight counselors' contributions, addressing their critical but often underfunded role (with a national student-to-counselor ratio of 376:1). It does not create new programs or alter funding but formally acknowledges counselors' work in schools.

HRES 1038: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States must recommit to defend and uphold the rights and protections guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution to ensure that our democracy works for all of us, not just a powerful few.

HRES 1038 is a non-binding House resolution expressing the sense of Congress that the U.S. must reaffirm its commitment to the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantees of birthright citizenship, due process, and equal protection under the law. It calls on all federal branches to defend these rights against actions that threaten them, such as policies undermining birthright citizenship or restricting voting access. The resolution specifically urges Congress to oppose legislation or executive actions that weaken these constitutional protections and to work toward full equal protection for all people. As a symbolic resolution, it does not create new law or impose legal requirements but emphasizes the importance of upholding these constitutional principles for democratic fairness.

S 3776: The Federal Grant Neutrality Act

The Federal Grant Neutrality Act (S 3776) prevents the Department of Justice from requiring entities to comply with specific immigration-related laws or presidential directives as a condition for receiving DOJ grants. It specifically blocks the Attorney General from demanding agreement to Section 642 of the 1996 immigration law, presidential memoranda, or executive orders. This directly affects local governments, community organizations, and other applicants seeking federal grant funding from the DOJ. The bill removes these requirements as a prerequisite for grant eligibility, ensuring entities can access funding without meeting those particular conditions. The change applies only to DOJ-administered grants, not other federal programs.

S 3777: Rebuild America’s Schools Act of 2026

The Rebuild America's Schools Act of 2026 would provide $20 billion annually (2027-2031) to improve public school facilities across the United States. The bill directs funds to states based on previous Title I funding allocations, requiring states to contribute 10% of the funds (with some exceptions) and develop plans for equitable distribution to school districts. Local educational agencies must prioritize schools with high numbers of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and funds can be used for construction, renovation, energy efficiency upgrades, removal of toxic substances, and making facilities accessible. The bill also establishes school infrastructure bonds to leverage private investment and includes specific provisions to repair foundations damaged by pyrrhotite.

S 3775: Stop Underrides Act 2.0

The Stop Underrides Act 2.0 requires new safety standards for side underride guards on commercial trucks and trailers to prevent passenger vehicles from sliding under them during collisions. The bill mandates that the Secretary of Transportation finalize regulations requiring these guards within 18 months, with full compliance required within two years. The regulations must meet specific performance standards to prevent intrusion into passenger vehicle occupant space during side collisions at speeds up to 40 mph. This law directly affects commercial truck manufacturers, trucking companies, and all road users, particularly vulnerable road users like cyclists and pedestrians who are at higher risk in underride crashes. The bill also establishes a public website for underride crash resources and requires studies to better understand and prevent these crashes.

HR 7345: Studying Disastrous Impacts of Mass Deportation Act

HR 7345 directs the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to study the long-term economic effects of immigration policies implemented beginning January 20, 2025. The CBO must assess impacts across specific sectors (like healthcare, agriculture, STEM fields), public safety concerns, demographic shifts, small business effects, and tax revenue at federal, state, and local levels. Federal agencies - including Homeland Security, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the IRS - must provide requested data to support this study. The report must be completed within 180 days of the bill’s enactment or by the end of the current congressional session, whichever comes first. This is a procedural study bill, not a policy change.
