HRES 1460: Acknowledging the courage and sacrifice of veterans of the Korean War and Korean Defense Veterans.

This House resolution formally acknowledges the courage and sacrifice of veterans who served in the Korean War and those who have continued to serve in South Korea as Korean Defense Veterans. It highlights that nearly 1.8 million U.S. service members participated in the conflict, which resulted in over 36,000 American deaths, and notes that approximately 25,000 troops remain stationed in the region today. The text emphasizes that these veterans often returned home without the widespread recognition given to World War II heroes and urges all Americans to honor their service in defending democracy.

HR 9970: RESCUE Act of 2026

The RESCUE Act of 2026 updates how the federal government reimburses ground and air ambulance services by changing the payment schedule and data collection rules. Starting in 2028, the Secretary of Health and Human Services will adjust payment rates every three years based on new data regarding costs, labor, and uncompensated care, while years in between will see payments increase only by the standard inflation rate. The bill also requires air ambulance providers to submit cost information to the government at least once every three years, aligning this process with existing rules for ground ambulance services. Additionally, the law mandates a review by 2029 to gather expert recommendations on whether further changes are needed to ensure ambulance providers are paid appropriately. These changes directly affect ambulance companies and the federal programs that fund emergency medical transport.

The Green New Deal for Public Schools Act directs over $700 billion in federal funding to public schools, prioritizing those serving the most vulnerable communities based on CDC social vulnerability rankings. The legislation establishes a new Office of Sustainable Schools and authorizes grants for "healthy green retrofits" that convert school buildings into zero-carbon facilities with clean air, water, and energy systems, while also providing funds to hire additional educators, mental health professionals, and support staff. Additionally, the bill mandates increased federal funding for special education under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and creates a climate resiliency program that allows schools to function as community centers during natural disasters.

Additionally, the legislation establishes a loan forgiveness program that cancels federal student loans for childcare workers who complete three years of full-time service in Head Start or Early Head Start programs.

HR 9954: Build America Fund Act

The Build America Fund Act creates a new government entity called the Manufacturing Sovereign Wealth Fund to invest billions of dollars in U.S. companies for the purpose of rebuilding domestic industrial capacity and reducing reliance on foreign supply chains. This fund will make loans and equity investments in strategic sectors like advanced manufacturing and technology, but it will require companies to keep operations and intellectual property within the United States for at least 50 years. In exchange for this capital, the fund will hold veto power over decisions to offshore production, sell to foreign buyers, or move research abroad, and it will enforce strict labor standards and prohibit stock buybacks. The bill also establishes an Industrial Sovereignty Council to oversee these investments and introduces new fees on corporate stock buybacks, high-volume trading, and specific offshoring activities to help finance the fund. Additionally, the legislation creates a future tax credit for eligible individuals funded by the fund's profits and increases the corporate tax rate to generate further revenue for the program.

The legislation also mandates that companies offering AI chatbots to minors must use age verification technology and delete user data within 24 hours.

HJRES 206: Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to require that any Representative or Senator be a natural born citizen.

This bill proposes adding a new requirement to the U.S. Constitution that only natural-born citizens can serve as members of the House of Representatives or the Senate. It would change the current rules by explicitly stating that anyone who is not a natural-born citizen is ineligible for these offices, though it allows current officeholders to finish their existing terms before the ban takes effect. If passed and ratified, this change would prevent naturalized citizens from ever holding a seat in Congress, regardless of how long they have lived in the country.
