HR 8080: Data to Save Moms Act

The Data to Save Moms Act aims to improve maternal health outcomes by increasing funding and support for maternal mortality review committees across the United States. The bill provides $10 million annually from 2027 to 2031 to help these committees recruit more diverse community members, including people with personal experiences of maternal mortality or severe health complications, and to address barriers like transportation and compensation that prevent participation. It also requires committees to conduct outreach to racial and ethnic minority communities and publicly report on their review processes and diversity efforts. Additionally, the legislation directs the Health and Human Services Secretary to study maternal health data collection methods, conduct a specific study on American Indian and Alaska Native maternal health outcomes, and award grants to minority-serving institutions for research on maternal mortality disparities.

HR 8081: Mental Health Access and Provider Support Act of 2026

The Mental Health Access and Provider Support Act of 2026 increases Medicare payments to psychologists by 10 percentage points, raising the reimbursement rate from 75 percent to 85 percent of the standard fee schedule.

HR 8076: PREDICT Act

The PREDICT Act prohibits federal government officials, including Members of Congress, their spouses and dependents, high-ranking executive branch employees, and political appointees from trading on prediction markets tied to political events. This restriction applies to any agreement or transaction where payment depends on whether a specific political event occurs, does not occur, or happens to a certain degree. If a covered individual violates this rule, they must pay a 10% fee and forfeit any profits from the transaction, with penalties paid from personal funds rather than government salaries or allowances. The Office of Government Ethics will issue guidance on undefined terms and publish details of any fines on a public website.

HR 8089: Perinatal Workforce Act

The Perinatal Workforce Act directs the Department of Health and Human Services to issue guidance encouraging hospitals, insurers, and maternity care providers to recruit and retain diverse healthcare professionals, including midwives, physician assistants, and perinatal health workers, while incorporating implicit bias and racism training into their practices. The bill authorizes $15 million annually from 2027 to 2031 for grants that establish or expand accredited education programs for perinatal health professionals, prioritizing schools that recruit students from racial and ethnic minority groups and those planning to practice in areas with maternal health disparities. Additionally, the legislation creates a separate grant program for nursing schools to provide scholarships to students pursuing careers in maternal and perinatal health, with similar diversity and training requirements. The act also requires the Secretary of HHS to conduct a study on respectful maternity care practices and mandates periodic reports from the Government Accountability Office on barriers to maternal health education and access to care.

SJRES 107: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Internal Revenue Service relating to "Beginning of Construction Requirements for Purposes of the Termination of Clean Electricity Production Credits and Clean Electricity Investment Credits for Applicable Wind and Solar Facilities".

This bill (SJRES 107) seeks congressional disapproval of an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rule that sets requirements for when construction must begin on wind and solar facilities to qualify for federal tax credits. The rule, IRS Notice 2025-42, would have determined how developers meet "beginning of construction" criteria to maintain eligibility for clean energy production and investment tax credits. If passed, this resolution would block the IRS rule from taking effect, directly affecting wind and solar project developers who rely on these tax credits. The bill does not create new policy but halts an existing regulatory requirement under federal law.

SJRES 103: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Veterans Affairs relating to "Reproductive Health Services".

SJRES 103 is a congressional disapproval resolution targeting a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) rule on reproductive health services for veterans. The resolution, if passed, would block the VA rule from taking effect by invoking the Congressional Review Act (Chapter 8 of Title 5, U.S. Code), meaning the rule published in the Federal Register (December 31, 2025) would have no legal force. This directly affects the VA’s ability to implement new guidelines for reproductive health services at its facilities, preserving existing policies instead. The resolution does not create new policy but halts a specific administrative rule.

HR 4171: SEED Act of 2025

The SEED Act of 2025 creates a new exemption under the Securities Act of 1933, allowing small businesses to raise up to $250,000 in a 12-month period through simplified investment offers without full SEC registration. This directly affects small entrepreneurs and startups seeking modest capital for growth. Key provisions include setting the $250,000 annual limit for "micro-offerings" and establishing disqualification rules for businesses or individuals with recent securities violations or criminal convictions related to fraud. The bill aims to lower barriers for small-scale fundraising while maintaining investor safeguards. It amends existing securities law to streamline access to capital for early-stage businesses.

HJRES 153: To direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against the Republic of Cuba that have not been authorized by Congress.

This joint resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Cuba unless Congress provides a specific declaration of war or authorization for military force. The bill relies on the War Powers Resolution and existing expedited procedures to require immediate congressional approval for any ongoing military actions in Cuba. It explicitly allows the United States to continue defending itself from armed attacks, countering imminent threats, and conducting lawful counternarcotics operations. The measure is based on the constitutional principle that Congress holds the sole power to declare war.

It requires the Food and Nutrition Service to create rules for digital privacy, cybersecurity, fair working conditions including prevailing wages, and food safety for stores and wholesalers participating in the program. Retailers must report their compliance with these standards within 18 months of the rules being finalized, and noncompliance could result in losing authorization to accept SNAP benefits. The legislation aims to protect users and workers while ensuring food safety in the growing digital food assistance landscape.

HR 8069: Strategic Subsea Cables Act of 2026

The Strategic Subsea Cables Act of 2026 establishes a new interagency committee to coordinate federal efforts for protecting undersea cables and pipelines, which carry global data and energy supplies. The bill requires the State Department to hire additional staff focused on cable security and mandates regular reports on sabotage incidents, particularly those involving China and Russia. It authorizes the President to impose sanctions on foreign entities that sabotage or support sabotage of critical undersea infrastructure, including blocking their assets and revoking their visas. The legislation also creates formal procedures for sharing classified and unclassified information between government agencies and private cable operators to improve threat detection and response.
