It aims to educate American motorists about the importance of proper towing techniques and regular trailer maintenance to reduce road injuries and fatalities.

The CONSENT Act establishes a federal civil remedy for individuals who receive unsolicited intimate visual depictions, including those created using artificial intelligence or deepfake technology, without their consent. It defines consent as a voluntary and conscious authorization and prohibits the transmission of such images when the sender knows or should know the recipient has not agreed to receive them. Victims can sue for damages up to $1,000 or compensation for emotional distress, along with court orders to stop the distribution, while minors can file suit through guardians with their identities kept private. The law explicitly excludes good faith transmissions for medical, educational, or law enforcement purposes and clarifies that it does not override existing criminal laws or First Amendment rights.
This bill, known as the Right to Try for Individualized Treatments Act, allows patients with life-threatening diseases or severe illnesses to access experimental drugs tailored to their unique genetic makeup. To qualify, a patient must have exhausted approved treatment options and receive a physician's certification that standard therapies are unlikely to help, along with written informed consent. The legislation permits manufacturers to offer these personalized treatments without requiring them to prove safety or efficacy, provided the process occurs within an eligible healthcare facility. Importantly, the bill does not mandate that manufacturers provide these treatments, leaving the decision to make them available entirely up to the drug producers.
This bill clarifies how drugs are defined and scheduled under the Controlled Substances Act to better balance public safety with medical access. It updates legal definitions for terms like "accepted medical use," "dependence," and "abuse" to include scientific research and evidence-based evaluations from state medical regulators. Additionally, it requires the Attorney General to defer to the Secretary of Health and Human Services on scientific assessments and to consider a drug's potential benefits to society when deciding on its schedule. These changes directly affect how the federal government classifies substances and aims to ensure that scheduling decisions are based on rigorous science rather than solely on the potential for abuse.
The Artificial Intelligence Environmental Impacts Act of 2026 directs the Environmental Protection Agency to study and report on the environmental effects of artificial intelligence, including energy and water use, pollution, and electronic waste.

Additionally, it establishes a stakeholder consortium to develop standardized methods for measuring these impacts and to identify ways to promote beneficial uses of AI while reducing negative effects. The legislation aims to increase transparency and accountability regarding the growing environmental costs associated with AI infrastructure and operations.
This bill, known as the PAR Act, updates the Internal Revenue Code to provide clearer tax rules for digital assets, specifically targeting lenders, dealers, traders, and investors. It primarily affects individuals and businesses involved in lending traded digital assets, dealers and traders of widely traded digital assets, and taxpayers engaging in digital asset trading activities. A key provision requires lenders to report transfers of traded digital assets similarly to how they report securities, while also allowing dealers and traders to elect a "mark-to-market" accounting method to calculate gains and losses on these assets. The legislation further establishes a safe harbor for digital asset trading and defines specific terms such as "widely traded digital asset" based on market capitalization and liquidity thresholds. Finally, the bill includes definitions for various digital asset types, including stablecoins, and clarifies that these rules do not determine whether a digital asset is legally classified as a security or commodity.

The No Safe Haven for Terrorist Families Act expands U.S. immigration rules to bar close relatives of designated terrorists, senior officials of hostile foreign governments, and sanctioned corrupt leaders from entering or remaining in the country. It defines these "covered family members" to include spouses, children, parents, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, and nieces or nephews of the listed threat actors, applying the ban retroactively to existing relationships. The bill mandates that visas issued to these individuals be revoked and that they face deportation without eligibility for most forms of legal relief, such as cancellation of removal. To enforce these measures, government agencies must implement new screening procedures within 180 days and submit annual reports detailing the number of inadmissibility determinations, visa revocations, and removals.
This bill designates a specific section of International Place Northwest in Washington, D.C., as Tiananmen Square Memorial Boulevard and officially changes the address of 3505 International Place Northwest to 1 Tiananmen Square Memorial Boulevard.

The legislation updates all federal records, maps, and documents to reflect these new names and addresses, ensuring consistent official usage.
