The Let Kids Play Act prohibits private equity firms and their affiliates from investing in or engaging in specific harmful practices within the youth sports industry. It defines "vulture practices" as actions that extract profit by imposing excessive debt, raising prices, cutting jobs, or restricting access to essential services and competing platforms. To operate in this sector, these firms must obtain certification from the Federal Trade Commission or the Department of Justice proving they have never engaged in such behaviors and will not do so in the future. If a firm is designated as a vulture investor, it is required to divest its ownership stakes, return assets, refund fees, and forgive debts owed to the community and employees. The bill also establishes a Youth Sports Fund to receive disgorged funds for reducing participation costs and supporting local sports programs.
This joint resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran that lack explicit congressional authorization, asserting Congress's constitutional war-declaring power. The measure applies only to ongoing military engagements within or against Iran and does not restrict defensive actions against attacks on the United States or its personnel. It permits continued intelligence gathering and defensive support for partner nations attacked by Iran since late February 2026, while requiring a formal declaration of war or specific statutory authorization for any future offensive military operations.
This House resolution condemns the ongoing civil war in Sudan and calls for an end to external support provided to the warring parties, the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces. It urges the Trump Administration to stop supplying weapons or other assistance to these groups and to negotiate a peaceful settlement that restores democratic governance. The bill also highlights the severe humanitarian crisis affecting millions of people and demands that aid workers be granted safe, unrestricted access to deliver essential supplies. Additionally, it calls on the international community to support post-conflict reconstruction and establish a justice mechanism to hold perpetrators of war crimes accountable.
This joint resolution seeks to disapprove a rule proposed by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection that would remove existing regulations on consumer credit offered to workers before they are paid. The bill directly affects lenders and financial institutions that provide credit to employees, aiming to maintain current Truth in Lending protections. If passed, the proposed withdrawal of the rule would not take effect, preserving the existing regulatory framework for advance compensation credit. The measure uses the Congressional Review Act process to block the specific regulatory change without altering other financial laws.
This joint resolution seeks to cancel a specific rule issued by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection that would have removed an earlier regulation about how consumer credit reports can be shared and used. The bill directly affects financial institutions, lenders, and other entities that rely on credit reporting rules to make lending decisions. If passed, the resolution would make the Bureau's proposed rule change invalid, keeping the existing framework for permissible uses of consumer credit reports in place. The measure uses a legislative veto process to disapprove the agency's action without requiring new legislation to replace it.
This joint resolution seeks to overturn a Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection rule that withdrew a previous regulation on negative option marketing practices. If passed, the bill would cancel the new rule, effectively restoring the earlier regulations that prohibited certain automatic enrollment tactics in financial marketing. The measure directly impacts the Bureau's ability to modify its stance on how consumers are signed up for financial products without explicit consent. It requires a simple majority vote in both the House and Senate to take effect.
This bill allows Congress to disapprove a recent rule from the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection that would have removed an earlier guideline on student loan billing practices. If passed, the resolution would cancel the new rule, effectively keeping the original 2023 guidance in place that addresses unfair billing and collection actions after student loans are discharged in bankruptcy. The measure directly impacts borrowers, loan servicers, and the federal agency responsible for consumer financial protection by preventing the withdrawal of specific regulations. It is a procedural action that stops a regulatory change rather than creating new laws or policies.

The Full-Service Community School Expansion Act of 2026 authorizes billions of dollars in federal funding to expand a program that transforms public schools into community hubs offering integrated student supports, expanded learning time, and active family engagement. This legislation primarily affects local educational agencies, schools serving high-poverty populations, and eligible entities such as school districts, tribes, and nonprofits that apply for grants to implement or expand these school models. Key provisions establish new roles like community school coordinators and directors, mandate the creation of diverse leadership teams including parents and community members, and require schools to provide services such as health care, housing assistance, and after-school programs. The bill also updates definitions within the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to clarify eligibility criteria and outlines specific reporting requirements to track student outcomes and program effectiveness.
The Reactors at Risk Act of 2026 requires the Secretary of Defense and the Under Secretary of Energy for Nuclear Security to submit a joint report to Congress within 120 days of enactment. This report will assess the national security and safety risks posed by nuclear reactors located in regions prone to armed conflict, such as Ukraine, the Middle East, and areas involved in potential disputes between India and Pakistan or North Korea and South Korea. The document will also outline steps the United States and its allies can take to prevent, prepare for, and mitigate these risks. While the main report will be unclassified, it may include a classified annex containing sensitive information.
This bill introduces a new annual tax on the total value of assets held in certain trusts, requiring owners to file detailed reports of trust holdings and beneficiary interests. The tax is calculated using a progressive rate structure that ranges from 1% to 3%, with specific thresholds that are adjusted for inflation starting in 2027. To offset this new liability, the legislation creates a "trust withholding credit account" that allows beneficiaries to claim credits against future estate and generation-skipping transfer taxes based on the taxes paid by the trust. Additionally, the bill modifies rules for grantor trusts by treating payments made by grantors to cover trust taxes as taxable gifts, while simultaneously denying any tax deductions for those payments.
The Full-Service Community School Expansion Act of 2026 authorizes billions of dollars in federal funding to expand a program that helps public schools in high-poverty areas provide integrated student supports, extended learning time, and active community engagement. The bill establishes specific roles for coordinators and directors to manage these efforts and requires schools to form leadership teams that include students, parents, educators, and community members. Funding is distributed through competitive grants to local educational agencies, states, and tribal organizations, with priority given to schools serving low-income students and those in rural or tribal areas. The legislation also mandates regular reporting on student outcomes and school climate to ensure accountability and continuous improvement.
