HR 9688: High Court Gift Ban Act

The High Court Gift Ban Act prohibits federal judicial officers from accepting gifts from sources likely to appear before them, unless the gift is under $50, the total annual value from that source remains $100 or less, or it falls under specific exceptions like gifts from relatives or public events. The law defines a "gift" broadly to include items, services, and reimbursements, while allowing exceptions for personal hospitality within IRS limits and certain professional benefits available to the general public. Enforcement mechanisms include referrals to the Attorney General for violations, which can result in civil or criminal penalties similar to those for other federal ethics breaches. The bill requires the Supreme Court and the Judicial Conference to create implementing regulations within 180 days of enactment to ensure compliance.

HR 9680: Replace UNRWA with Real Humanitarian Assistance Act

This bill directs the U.S. Secretary of State to create and execute a plan to end the operations of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) across the Middle East. The legislation requires a detailed strategy that assesses current programs like education and healthcare, identifies new organizations to take over these services, and outlines how to fund and oversee the transition without interrupting aid. Once the plan is submitted to Congress, the State Department must begin implementing it within a year while coordinating with host countries and international partners. The bill emphasizes maintaining service continuity and ensuring that any successor groups meet strict standards for transparency and accountability.

HR 9671: Menopausal Workers’ Fairness Act of 2026

The Menopausal Workers' Fairness Act of 2026 expands federal employment protections to explicitly cover workers experiencing menopause and related symptoms, requiring employers with 15 or more employees to provide reasonable accommodations unless doing so causes significant business hardship. Under this bill, it would be illegal for employers to discriminate against or retaliate against qualified employees who request accommodations for issues such as hot flashes, fatigue, or mood changes, while also mandating that medical information regarding these conditions remains confidential. The legislation includes a specific list of low-cost adjustments, such as allowing extra restroom breaks or flexible sitting and standing, that employers must grant without requiring extensive documentation. Enforcement and legal remedies for violations will follow the same procedures currently used for age and disability discrimination claims, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is tasked with issuing detailed regulations within a year of the law's passage.

HR 9669: FACT Pilot Program Act

This bill creates a five-year pilot program to provide grants to states and local governments for expanding Forensic Assertive Community Treatment teams. These specialized teams offer intensive, round-the-clock support including mental health care, addiction treatment, and housing assistance to individuals with serious mental illness who are involved with the criminal justice system. The program requires teams to include a mix of psychiatrists, employment specialists, criminal justice partners, and peer specialists with lived experience. Additionally, the legislation authorizes funding for a study by the National Academies to evaluate the program's effectiveness and develop guidelines for scaling it up.

HR 9661: Expedited Access to Biosimilars Act

The Expedited Access to Biosimilars Act modifies federal regulations to streamline the approval process for biosimilar drugs, which are lower-cost versions of existing biologic medicines. The bill requires manufacturers to conduct specific studies on how the drug behaves in the body and how the immune system reacts to it, while limiting the need for additional large-scale clinical trials unless the FDA explicitly determines they are necessary. To ensure transparency, the law mandates that the FDA must provide written notice to drug sponsors within 60 days regarding whether extra studies are required. These changes aim to reduce the time and cost involved in bringing biosimilars to market, potentially increasing patient access to affordable treatment options.

HR 9555: Home Mortgage Interest Credit Act of 2026

This bill creates a new tax credit for homeowners who pay interest on loans used to buy, build, or improve their primary residences. The credit allows taxpayers to directly reduce their federal income tax liability by up to $2,000 annually, or $1,000 for married individuals filing separately, provided their modified adjusted gross income does not exceed specific thresholds that vary by filing status. The amount of the credit is reduced by $20 for every $1,000 that a taxpayer's income exceeds these limits, and the provision includes an automatic inflation adjustment mechanism starting in 2028. This legislation applies to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2026, and excludes nonresident aliens from claiming the benefit.

HR 9554: Senior Accessible Housing Tax Credit Act of 2026

The Senior Accessible Housing Tax Credit Act of 2026 creates a new tax credit for individuals aged 60 or older to help cover the costs of home modifications that improve accessibility and safety. This credit allows eligible taxpayers to claim up to $10,000 for expenses related to installing features such as wheelchair ramps, widening doorways, adding grab bars, and replacing bathroom fixtures. The amount of the credit is reduced based on the taxpayer's income, with the full benefit available to those earning less than $100,000 annually, and the law also authorizes $500 million in federal grants to the Department of Housing and Urban Development to fund additional home modification projects for older adults from 2027 through 2031.

HR 9391: Reimbursable Screening Services Program Extension Act of 2026

The Reimbursable Screening Services Program Extension Act of 2026 extends and expands a federal program that reimburses states for conducting aviation security background checks. The bill directly affects federal and state agencies responsible for vetting airline employees by allowing the program to operate through fiscal year 2031 instead of ending in 2026. Additionally, it increases the maximum number of reimbursable screening services that can be provided annually from eight to 14. This legislation aims to maintain and slightly increase the capacity for background investigations without changing the underlying requirements for who must be screened.

HR 9328: Improving Travel for Military Members Act

The Improving Travel for Military Members Act directs the Transportation Security Administration to create a pilot program that allows active-duty military personnel and their families to use expedited security lanes at select airports. This initiative requires that all participants still undergo standard vetting checks and mandates that security staff verify eligibility before allowing access to these faster lanes. The program will prioritize airports located near military bases with large numbers of stationed troops and must operate for a period of three years. Additionally, the TSA Administrator is required to provide a briefing to Congress on the program's progress within nine months of its launch.

HR 9317: BUSES Act

The BUSES Act establishes a national minimum standard requiring that restrictions on bus engine idling cannot last for less than 15 minutes, applying to both over-the-road and school buses. This rule prevents states and local governments from enforcing shorter idling limits through their existing air quality plans. Additionally, the legislation prohibits private citizens from suing bus owners or operators for violating these idling rules and bans state programs that pay individuals for reporting such violations.

HR 8770: SAFEGUARDS Act of 2026

The SAFEGUARDS Act of 2026 directs that money collected from the 9/11 Security Fee must be used exclusively for aviation security improvements rather than other government purposes. Starting in fiscal year 2027, the law creates two separate funds: one to cover general security operations and another specifically for purchasing and installing new checkpoint technology at airports. The Transportation Security Administration will manage these funds to pay for screening upgrades, security equipment, and related personnel support, ensuring the fee directly benefits aviation safety.
