SRES 766: A resolution acknowledging and apologizing for the mistreatment of, and discrimination against, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals who served the United States in the uniformed services, the Foreign Service, and the Federal civil service and committing to the pursuit of equal rights, protections, and respect for all LGBT servicemembers and Federal civil servants.

S 4776: Gun Records Restoration and Preservation Act

This bill, known as the Gun Records Restoration and Preservation Act, aims to repeal specific restrictions on how the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives manages gun-related data. By removing these limits, the legislation would allow federal agencies to keep instant background check records longer than the current 24-hour requirement and enable the ATF to conduct annual inventory audits of gun dealers. Additionally, the bill would permit the consolidation of firearms records and allow for more Freedom of Information Act requests regarding gun traces. These changes are intended to help law enforcement track illegal firearms more effectively and support research into gun trafficking patterns.

S 4774: Fraudulent Artificial Intelligence Regulations (FAIR) Elections Act of 2026

The Fraudulent Artificial Intelligence Regulations (FAIR) Elections Act of 2026 prohibits individuals from knowingly distributing false AI-generated media about federal elections or election officials if the intent is to impede voting or harass officials, while allowing news organizations to report on such content as long as they clearly label it as false. The bill also restricts states from removing voters from official registration lists unless the data comes from government sources approved by the Attorney General and updated at least monthly. Additionally, it bars the federal government from comparing its own databases with state or local records to determine voter eligibility and establishes a private right of action for citizens to sue if the government violates this rule. To further ensure accuracy, the Act requires the Government Accountability Office to conduct a study on the impact of using federal databases like SAVE for voter removals and submit its findings to Congress within 180 days.

HR 9306: Hands Off Elections Act of 2026

The Hands Off Elections Act of 2026 prohibits federal employees from participating in or directing others to participate in the administration of federal elections, unless they are already authorized by existing laws such as the Help America Vote Act. This restriction applies to all executive agencies except the United States Postal Service, but it explicitly allows federal workers to assist with cybersecurity measures to protect voting systems. If a state law enforcement officer believes a federal employee has violated these rules, they can file a lawsuit in federal court to stop the behavior. The bill aims to separate federal agency staff from election management duties while preserving their ability to safeguard election technology.

HR 9300: Postsecondary Student Success Act of 2026

The Postsecondary Student Success Act of 2026 creates a competitive grant program to help colleges improve graduation rates for high-need students, including those from low-income backgrounds, first-generation families, and military-connected individuals.

The law requires that at least 20 percent of the available funds go to projects using the most rigorously tested methods and mandates that 2 percent be reserved specifically for Tribal Colleges and Universities. Additionally, the Department of Education must evaluate the effectiveness of these programs and report the results to Congress within 18 months of the bill's enactment.
