HR 8630: PEAT Act of 2026

The PEAT Act of 2026 amends federal regulations to clarify how certain biologic drugs are classified for approval purposes. Specifically, it prevents the Food and Drug Administration from denying approval to a biologic product simply because it contains a protein that does not have a clinical effect. This change ensures that the presence of inactive proteins does not automatically disqualify a drug from being treated as a biological product. The legislation directly impacts pharmaceutical companies developing complex biologics and the regulatory review process for these medicines. By removing this specific barrier, the bill aims to streamline the path to market for drugs that include non-active protein components.

HR 8626: Workforce Housing Tax Credit Act

The Workforce Housing Tax Credit Act creates a new federal tax credit to encourage the development and rehabilitation of affordable housing for middle-income families. This credit applies to buildings where at least 60% of units are rent-restricted and occupied by individuals earning 100% or less of the area median income, with at least 20% of those units specifically targeted for middle-income households. The bill establishes a 15-year credit period based on a percentage of the building's qualified basis, which is determined by factors such as the building's cost, location, and whether it is new or existing. To qualify, developers must enter into binding agreements with housing agencies that include long-term commitments to maintain affordable rents and prevent the displacement of tenants, while also adhering to specific financial feasibility and reporting requirements.

HR 8621: China-Africa Mining Transparency Act

The China-Africa Mining Transparency Act requires the Secretary of State to publish an annual list of Chinese-owned or controlled entities involved in mining critical minerals, gold, or iron in specific African nations. This list will identify companies and mines that are using forced labor or causing environmental damage to protected areas such as national parks and water sources. To compile this information, the State Department must rely on open-source data, reports from non-governmental organizations, and intelligence from U.S. embassies while consulting with other federal agencies. The resulting unclassified report will be made available to the public and submitted to Congress to increase transparency regarding these mining operations.

HR 8600: To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to temporarily suspend certain fuel excise taxes for fuel separated during periods in which the national average price of gasoline exceeds $3.99 per gallon, and to prohibit certain credits or deductions for oil and gas companies during such periods.

This bill temporarily suspends a portion of the federal fuel excise tax when the national average price of gasoline rises above $3.99 per gallon. Instead of reducing government revenue, the money saved from this tax cut is transferred back into the Highway Trust Fund and the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund. Additionally, the legislation disallows certain tax credits and deductions for oil and gas companies for costs incurred or production occurring during these high-price months. These changes would only take effect for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025.

HR 8591: No Capital Gains Tax on Family Farms Act

This bill, titled the No Capital Gains Tax on Family Farms Act, would allow farmers to sell their land to immediate family members without paying capital gains tax on the profit. To qualify, the property must have been used as a farm for at least two years within the eight years prior to the sale, and the buyer must be a spouse, lineal descendant, or their spouse. If the new owner keeps the farm for ten years, the property's tax basis will be adjusted upward to reflect its fair market value at the time of the sale. The law applies to sales occurring after its enactment and requires the IRS to issue regulations to guide its implementation.

HR 2424: Modern, Clean, and Safe Trucks Act of 2025

HR 2424, the Modern, Clean, and Safe Trucks Act of 2025, repeals a 12% federal excise tax on new heavy trucks, tractors, and trailers. This tax currently adds significant costs - $7,000+ for trailers, $20,000+ for clean diesel trucks, and up to $50,000 for advanced technology trucks - discouraging replacement of older, less efficient vehicles. The bill directly affects truck manufacturers, dealers, and fleet operators by removing this cost barrier, making newer, cleaner models more affordable. It aims to accelerate the adoption of modern trucks with improved safety and environmental features, particularly benefiting electric and alternative-fuel vehicles that face higher upfront costs.

SJRES 189: A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to protect United States citizenship.

This joint resolution proposes a new amendment to the U.S. Constitution to clarify who qualifies as a citizen at birth. It would restrict automatic citizenship to children born in the United States only if at least one parent is a U.S. citizen, a lawful permanent resident, or an alien with lawful status serving in the military. The bill aims to limit the scope of the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause and explicitly grants Congress the authority to pass laws enforcing these new requirements. If ratified, this change would alter the legal definition of birthright citizenship for children born to undocumented immigrants or other non-citizen parents.

S 4441: CREATE AI Act

The CREATE AI Act establishes the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource, a centralized system designed to connect U.S. researchers and educators with advanced computational tools, data, software, and educational materials. Managed by the National Science Foundation, this resource will be built by coordinating contributions from federal agencies, state governments, and private organizations to support artificial intelligence research and workforce development. Access to these tools is primarily reserved for eligible U.S.-based universities, nonprofits, government entities, and small businesses, with a specific provision to exclude individuals employed by designated foreign countries. The bill also outlines a flexible fee structure that includes a free tier for users, mandates the use of open-source software where possible, and requires annual public reporting on the resource's progress.

HR 8589: Closing Bankruptcy Loopholes for Child Predators Act of 2026

The Closing Bankruptcy Loopholes for Child Predators Act of 2026 modifies federal bankruptcy laws to ensure that individuals and organizations accused of sexually abusing children cannot easily hide their assets or avoid financial responsibility. Key provisions include preventing the discharge of debts related to child sexual abuse, requiring courts to hold special conferences for victims to share their experiences, and mandating independent forensic audits for nonprofit organizations facing such allegations. The bill also restricts the ability of debtors to release third parties from liability without strong voter approval and prohibits sealing evidence related to these crimes, except to protect a victim's identity when the accused is found not guilty.
