HR 9197: Advancing Research in Nuclear Fuel Recycling Act

This bill directs the Department of Energy to conduct a comprehensive study on the feasibility, costs, and risks of recycling spent nuclear fuel into usable materials for reactors and other applications. The analysis will compare recycling methods against current storage practices, evaluate different facility locations, and assess regulatory gaps in how radioactive waste is defined and managed. By the end of the year following its enactment, the department must submit a public report detailing its findings and offering policy recommendations to support the development of recycling technologies.

HR 9194: Build American Efficiency Act

The Build American Efficiency Act allows the Department of Housing and Urban Development to accept a specific industry standard, known as the Make It American Process Standard, as valid proof that construction materials meet domestic content requirements. This change directly affects recipients of federal housing funds by providing an additional, recognized method to certify that their projects comply with Buy America rules. The bill does not force anyone to use this new standard, nor does it ban the use of other existing certification methods, but it does give the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development the option to accept similar standards if they offer a clear way to verify domestic content.

HR 9182: Southeastern Rail Technologies Mapping Act of 2026

The Southeastern Rail Technologies Mapping Act of 2026 directs the Federal Railroad Administration to study how to improve rail performance and integrate new power technologies in the southeastern United States. This study will examine rail segments between Florida and Washington, DC to identify areas suitable for electrification or battery and fuel cell systems while noting any implementation challenges. If certain segments are found unsuitable for these technologies, the report must explain the reasoning and suggest specific infrastructure updates with estimated costs to make them viable. The Administrator is required to submit the findings of this study to Congress within 18 months of the bill's enactment.

HR 9181: Rail Motive Power Source Integration Act of 2026

The Rail Motive Power Source Integration Act of 2026 directs the Federal Railroad Administration to launch a pilot program exploring how trains can switch between different power sources like batteries, electricity, hydrogen, and diesel. The bill requires the agency to research these technologies, design rail cars that allow for easy power source changes, and test these designs through demonstration projects. Additionally, the Administrator must study locations where trains currently need to change power sources due to limitations and report the findings to Congress within one year of the law's enactment.

HR 8737: Never Fight Alone Act

The Never Fight Alone Act expands the Veterans Community Care Program to allow veterans who cannot access VA mental health or substance-use residential treatment programs to receive these services from qualified community providers. This expansion includes specific requirements for community facilities to be state-licensed and accredited by recognized behavioral health standards, with provisions for waivers if no suitable options exist. The bill also mandates that veterans be permitted to choose their preferred care option when multiple providers are available and prohibits denying care solely because a provider cannot meet standard wait times. Additionally, the legislation requires the VA to collect detailed data on care requests and approvals, specifically highlighting mental health cases, and restricts the VA from changing community care access rules without congressional approval.
