The INSULIN Act of 2026 mandates that group and individual health insurance plans cap out-of-pocket costs for selected insulin products at $35 per 30-day supply, effective for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2028. This cost limit applies to a variety of insulin types and delivery devices, with the cap set at the lesser of $35 or 25 percent of the negotiated price net of concessions. The bill also prohibits insurers from imposing deductibles or prior authorization requirements for these covered products unless clinically justified for safety reasons.
Additionally, the legislation directs the Department of Health and Human Services to fund a resource center and hotline to help uninsured individuals find affordable insulin assistance programs, while requiring the Government Accountability Office to study the demographics of uninsured insulin users. Finally, it creates an expedited review process for biosimilar insulin applications when the Secretary determines there is inadequate competition in the market.
Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.

The End Tuberculosis Now Act of 2026 amends the Foreign Assistance Act to designate ending the global tuberculosis emergency as a major objective of U.S. foreign policy and authorizes the President to provide funding for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment programs worldwide. The bill sets specific targets to be achieved by 2030, including an 80 percent reduction in new infections and a 90 percent reduction in deaths compared to 2015 levels, while also requiring that 30 million individuals receive preventive treatment. Key provisions mandate the use of innovative diagnostic tools, support for drug-resistant TB care, and coordination with private sector partners to develop vaccines and lower treatment costs. The legislation requires annual reports to Congress detailing program progress and expenditures, and it includes a sunset clause that terminates these specific authorities on January 1, 2033.
This bill would prohibit any state or local government designated as a "sanctuary jurisdiction" from receiving grant funds distributed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). A jurisdiction is defined as a sanctuary if it has laws, policies, or practices that restrict officials from sharing information about an individual's immigration status or from complying with federal requests to detain or notify about the release of individuals. The funding restriction would apply to grants distributed 180 days after the bill's enactment. To determine which jurisdictions qualify for this ineligibility, the HUD Secretary is required to consult with the Secretary of Homeland Security.
The Public Transit Mental Health Awareness Act requires public transit agencies that receive federal assistance to display information about the national suicide prevention hotline in areas visible to passengers. This information must state that the service is free, confidential, and available around the clock. Agencies can meet this requirement by placing the notice on all their vehicles or in all their transit facilities, provided it does not block existing revenue-generating advertising space. The law includes a provision allowing agencies to remain compliant if they make reasonable efforts to restore displays that are damaged or removed, with the mandate taking effect one year after enactment.

This bill requires credit reporting resellers to use reasonable procedures to ensure the accuracy of consumer information they transmit to other agencies or end users. It limits reseller liability when they accurately pass on data obtained from another consumer reporting agency without making changes. The law defines resellers according to existing Fair Credit Reporting Act definitions and focuses on maintaining data integrity during the transfer process. These changes directly affect companies that sell consumer credit reports to other businesses or individuals.
The Nitrous Oxide Safety Act of 2026 would classify consumer products containing nitrous oxide as banned hazardous items under federal law, except for specific exceptions. The bill prohibits the sale of nitrous oxide products for recreational use while allowing continued sales for medical and dental treatments, food production in commercial kitchens, research and development activities, and food propellant applications. This legislation directly affects manufacturers, retailers, and consumers by restricting access to nitrous oxide in consumer products after 180 days from enactment. The law defines nitrous oxide as the gas known as laughing gas or whippits and specifies which entities and activities are exempt from the ban.
The Packaging and Claims Knowledge Act of 2025 requires companies to ensure that recyclable, compostable, and reusable claims on consumer product packaging are accurate and supported by third-party certification. The bill mandates that recyclable claims must include information about local recycling availability, while compostable claims must be backed by scientific evidence and clearly explain disposal limitations. Companies must also provide actual reuse systems or products for reusable packaging claims, and the Federal Trade Commission will issue guidance on compliance without creating binding regulations.
The Chip EQUIP Act restricts federal funding for semiconductor manufacturing equipment made by foreign entities designated as security concerns (or their subsidiaries). It prohibits the use of such "ineligible" equipment - defined as completed, fully assembled tools like etching, lithography, or inspection machines - in projects receiving federal financial assistance for 10 years. The bill requires federal agreements to include this ban, with limited waivers allowed only if the equipment is unavailable from U.S. or allied sources, was refurbished by a foreign entity of concern but originally made by a non-concern entity, or meets export rules and national security criteria. This directly affects companies receiving federal funds for semiconductor manufacturing facilities.
HR 6152, the Foreign Robocall Elimination Act, establishes an interagency task force to address foreign robocalls entering the United States. The task force, composed of the FCC, FTC, DOJ, and private sector representatives, will study the origins, impacts, and potential solutions to foreign robocalls and must submit a report to Congress within 360 days. The bill also modifies existing law to require FCC notices about robocall mitigation every three years instead of annually, and introduces a bond requirement for providers using the Robocall Mitigation Database. This legislation affects telecommunications providers, federal agencies, and all U.S. telephone users who receive unwanted calls. The bill aims to improve coordination between U.S. agencies and foreign countries in combating illegal robocalls through concrete policy changes.
