This bill requires the Medicare program to ensure specific electronic reporting methods (like digital clinical quality measures) are available for Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) participating in the Medicare Shared Savings Program from 2025 through 2029. It clarifies that ACOs won’t be penalized for missing data from certain participants if they meet other reporting rules and demonstrate the participant couldn’t collect data via the required digital method. Additionally, it creates a voluntary pilot program (2028-2032) where selected ACOs report only two quality measures digitally instead of all required measures, with special rules about how this data affects performance scoring. The bill directly affects MSSP ACOs and changes their quality reporting requirements and flexibility.
This bill requires investment companies and transfer agents to collect contact information for a trusted person when serving "specified adults" (individuals 65+ or with impairments affecting their ability to protect their interests). It allows these entities to temporarily delay cash payments from investments (up to 15 business days, extendable by 10 more days) if they reasonably suspect financial exploitation during a redemption request. The delay period requires written notification to the trusted contact, internal review, and holding funds securely. The bill aims to prevent exploitation by giving companies time to verify situations before releasing funds. It also mandates record-keeping and future SEC reporting on financial exploitation risks.
This resolution congratulates the New York Knicks on winning the 2026 NBA Finals by defeating the San Antonio Spurs. It formally recognizes the team's historic achievements, including their undefeated comeback in Game 4 of the finals and Jalen Brunson's performance as Finals MVP. The House directs its Clerk to send a copy of this acknowledgment to the team's owner, president, and coach.
This bill aims to remove a tax disadvantage known as the "marriage penalty" for couples filing jointly under the State and local tax deduction. It achieves this by adjusting the dollar limits and income thresholds so that married couples filing jointly receive twice the deduction amount available to single filers, while married individuals filing separately receive half. These changes are designed to ensure that married couples do not pay more in taxes solely because they are married. The provisions would take effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2026.
The Freedom to Build Act creates a voluntary designation for local governments that adopt specific reforms to reduce barriers to housing construction. To qualify, a locality must either implement at least three reforms in each of three categories - such as allowing modern building methods, setting strict permit timelines, and eliminating rent control - or demonstrate sustained growth in its housing supply relative to local affordability. The Department of Housing and Urban Development will maintain a public list of these designated areas and review the required reforms every five years. Localities that lose their designation due to reversing reforms or failing supply targets receive a 180-day grace period to correct the issue before revocation. Additionally, the bill directs the Department to prioritize these designated communities when awarding competitive federal grants for housing and community development projects.
The Find Our Families Act of 2026 requires the Department of Homeland Security to create a public online system that allows families to locate individuals detained by Customs and Border Protection or Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This system must provide search results within eight hours of detention, display information in multiple languages, and include specific details such as names, dates of birth, and facility locations, while excluding data for minors. The bill also mandates that families be notified within five hours if a detainee is transferred for medical care and establishes new reporting requirements for CBP arrests, including details on the circumstances of the arrest and the number of agents involved. Additionally, the legislation creates a process for families to report errors in detainee information and imposes penalties on employees or contractors who fail to comply with these data-sharing and reporting obligations.
The DHS Surveillance Technology Moratorium Act of 2026 temporarily halts the Department of Homeland Security from using funds to start, renew, or expand contracts for surveillance tools used in immigration enforcement, such as facial recognition and predictive analytics. This pause applies to agencies like U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, though existing contracts can continue until a review is complete. The bill mandates an independent audit within 180 days to examine data collection practices, privacy impacts, and the accuracy of these technologies, followed by a public report detailing their use and capabilities. The funding ban remains in effect until the audit is finished, a public report is released, and the department demonstrates it has implemented necessary safeguards to protect civil liberties. Once these conditions are met, the moratorium lifts, but the department must submit annual reports on its continued use of these technologies and any related privacy complaints.
The Governors' Right to Inspect Act of 2026 allows state governors and their designated health officials to enter federal immigration detention centers to check conditions like sanitation, food quality, and medical care. This law ensures that officials can access all detainee areas, speak privately with individuals, and review relevant records without prior notice, though they cannot interfere with immigration enforcement or release detainees. If a governor is blocked from entering a facility, they can sue to gain access, and any inspection reports must be made public while the Department of Homeland Security responds to findings within 60 days.
The Jewish American Security Act aims to combat antisemitism by strengthening protections for Jewish students, securing Jewish communities, and increasing transparency regarding online hate speech. For educational institutions receiving federal funds, the bill mandates the creation of specific coordinators to handle discrimination complaints, requires annual training on handling antisemitism, and establishes a new federal clearinghouse to share best practices for campus safety. To support physical security, the legislation expands grant funding for nonprofit organizations and directs the Attorney General to provide resources for law enforcement agencies protecting houses of worship. Additionally, the act requires major online platforms with over 50 million monthly users to submit detailed reports to the Federal Trade Commission on how they detect, remove, and moderate antisemitic content.
The Department of Homeland Security Accountability Act of 2026 requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to report any serious injury or death occurring in DHS custody or resulting from DHS actions within 72 hours to Congress and local representatives. These notifications must include detailed information such as the date and location of the incident, the nationality of the individual involved, specific use of force tactics, and whether medical assistance was provided. The bill also mandates that the Department conduct independent investigations for these incidents, which must include reviewing video footage, placing involved employees on administrative leave, and ensuring autopsies and medical reviews are performed. All investigation reports must be submitted to Congress within seven days of completion, and video recordings of the individuals involved must be preserved for at least five years.
The DHS Release Transparency Act requires the Department of Homeland Security to inform a designated contact person when a detained individual is released from Customs and Border Protection or Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, provided the person was held for more than 12 hours. Under this bill, individuals in custody can choose to name a contact and provide their information, with the government obligated to attempt notification at least twice. The law also mandates that translation services be available in the detainee's preferred language for both selecting a contact and receiving release notifications. Additionally, the act specifies that any information gathered under this process cannot be used for law enforcement purposes.
The CANADA Act directs the U.S. Trade Representative to investigate whether countries with free trade agreements, specifically including Canada, have stopped importing U.S. alcoholic beverages in a way that violates trade laws. Before taking any action, the bill requires the Trade Representative to consult with U.S. beverage manufacturers, federal agencies, and trade groups to ensure any measures are targeted and minimize unintended effects on consumers and allies. The legislation mandates the submission of detailed reports to Congress and the public every quarter for two years, detailing the status of these investigations and any enforcement steps taken.
