This House resolution marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks by formally honoring the memory of the nearly 3,000 victims and recognizing the sacrifices made by first responders, military personnel, and the passengers of United Airlines Flight 93. The bill acknowledges the ongoing health challenges faced by survivors and responders, highlighting the role of the World Trade Center Health Program in providing long-term medical support. It also credits charitable organizations and community groups that have continued to assist victims' families and veterans over the past two decades. Finally, the resolution urges the American public to observe the anniversary with ceremonies and reaffirms Congress's commitment to remembering the events and lessons of that day.
The El Salvador TPS Act of 2026 requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to grant Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to individuals from El Salvador. This designation would remain in effect until a date 18 months after September 9, 2026. The bill directly affects eligible residents of El Salvador by providing them with legal protection and work authorization during this specified period.
This bill designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 4650 East Rosedale Street in Fort Worth, Texas, as the "Dionne Phillips Bagsby Post Office Building".
The Access to School Supplies Act of 2026 establishes a five-year pilot program that provides competitive grants to up to ten local school districts serving high-poverty schools. These funds are intended to help districts purchase books, supplies, and other materials for students and instructional staff at no cost. The legislation authorizes $100 million annually from fiscal years 2027 through 2031 and requires recipients to submit annual reports detailing how the money was spent and which schools benefited. A small portion of the total funding is reserved for outlying areas and Bureau of Indian Education schools, while the program sunsets on September 30, 2031.
The End Gas Station Heroin Act amends the Controlled Substances Act to place 7-hydroxymitragynine and mitragynine pseudoindoxyl in Schedule I, while exempting naturally occurring kratom products that meet specific low-concentration limits. The bill also creates a new enforcement mechanism for emerging synthetic opioids by treating them as Schedule I controlled substances when they are manufactured or distributed commercially. This provision applies to synthetic opioids that are more potent than morphine and not approved for medical use, but it explicitly prohibits criminal or civil penalties for simple possession or personal use.
The Mobile Workforce State Income Tax Simplification Act of 2026 restricts state income tax collection on employees who work in multiple states, limiting taxation to only the employee's home state and any other state where they perform duties for more than 30 days in a calendar year. This change directly affects multi-state workers and their employers by eliminating withholding and reporting requirements for wages earned in states where the employee does not meet the 30-day threshold. Employers are permitted to rely on employees' annual estimates of work location for tax purposes, unless the employer maintains a daily time and attendance tracking system or has actual knowledge of fraud. The bill excludes specific groups, such as professional athletes, entertainers, film production staff, and public figures, from these simplified rules, and it takes effect on January 1 of the second calendar year following its enactment.
The Stop Auto Fraud Act of 2026 creates a new federal crime for individuals who knowingly stage or fabricate motor vehicle accidents to submit false insurance claims. The bill directly affects people involved in these schemes by imposing penalties that include fines and up to 10 years in prison, with sentences increasing to 20 years if serious bodily injury occurs and potentially life imprisonment if the fraud results in death. Additionally, any criminal fines collected under this new law must be deposited into the Highway Trust Fund rather than general government revenue.
The Ending Restaurant Purchases with SNAP Act of 2026 would prohibit the use of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to buy meals at restaurants and other private food service establishments. The bill achieves this by removing specific legal provisions from the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 that currently allow states to run optional restaurant programs for eligible groups such as the elderly, disabled, and homeless individuals. If enacted, these changes would take effect 180 days after the date of enactment, directly affecting SNAP recipients who rely on these state-level options for dining out.
The 21st Century Strategic Petroleum Reserve Act requires the Secretary of Energy to request that the National Petroleum Council submit a report to Congress within one year. This report must analyze opportunities to modernize the physical infrastructure and operations of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to better handle supply shocks. Key areas for analysis include expanding geographic distribution, storing refined petroleum products, eliminating mandated sales, and increasing storage capacity and pipeline flow capability. The legislation also mandates an evaluation of the Life Extension II project and requires that the final report be made publicly available.
The DHS Community Consultation Act of 2026 requires the Department of Homeland Security to consult with local officials and community members before building or leasing any immigration detention facility. The bill mandates that the department assess potential impacts on local infrastructure, such as water, power, and roads, while holding public meetings and allowing a 60-day period for public comment. Additionally, it prohibits the construction of new facilities in municipalities that have officially banned them and forbids using military bases or converting non-residential structures like warehouses into detention centers. The legislation also requires coordination with local health authorities to create protocols for treating and containing contagious disease outbreaks within these facilities.
The PROOF Act establishes new procedural requirements for the IRS when examining and potentially revoking the tax-exempt status of organizations under section 501(a), excluding churches from some specific notice provisions but extending other rights to them. The bill mandates that the IRS provide detailed written notices outlining the scope of an examination, the legal basis for it, and the organization's right to representation before beginning any review. It requires the agency to maintain a comprehensive record of the examination process, which must be disclosed to the organization upon request, and limits information requests to those with clear relevance and sufficient response time. Additionally, the legislation grants organizations the right to hold conferences with supervisory agents during disputes and provides a mandatory 30-day period after receiving a proposed adverse determination letter before a final decision can be issued, allowing time for protests or appeals through the IRS Independent Office of Appeals.
The Launching with Healthcare Act extends the period during which young adults must be covered under their parents' health insurance plans from age 26 to age 31. This change directly affects individuals up to age 31 and the employers or insurers providing these family coverage plans. The bill amends the Public Health Service Act to implement this new age limit, with the provision taking effect for plan years that begin after December 31, 2026.
