The YouthBuild for the Future Act aims to strengthen and expand the existing YouthBuild program, which provides education and job training to young people. The bill increases authorized funding for the program and creates a new grant program to foster partnerships between YouthBuild programs and employers, aiming to develop more employment opportunities for participants. It reserves a portion of increased funds for rural areas and programs serving Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian communities. Furthermore, the bill expands the types of supportive services YouthBuild programs can offer, including meals and assistance with applying for federal and state benefit programs.
The Maverick Act authorizes the Secretary of the Navy to transfer three F-14D Tomcat aircraft to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center Commission in Huntsville, Alabama, without charge to the Commission. The Commission would be responsible for all costs associated with the aircraft, including conveyance, operation, and maintenance. The bill requires the aircraft to be demilitarized and used exclusively for public display, airshows, or commemorative events to preserve naval aviation heritage. The Commission must also comply with all Federal Aviation Administration regulations, and if these conditions are violated, ownership of the aircraft would revert to the United States.
The Stop Climate Shakedowns Act of 2026 prohibits state and local governments from suing energy companies for damages related to climate change or greenhouse gas emissions. This bill declares that regulating emissions is exclusively a federal responsibility and voids any state laws that hold energy businesses liable for alleged climate harms. Consequently, all pending lawsuits of this nature against energy producers must be dismissed immediately, preventing states from imposing retroactive penalties for past lawful operations. The legislation directly affects companies involved in the production, refinement, and sale of oil, gas, and coal by shielding them from civil liability in both state and federal courts.
This bill, the Communications, Video, and Technology Accessibility Act of 2026, aims to significantly enhance accessibility for individuals with disabilities across various communication and video services and related equipment.

The bill also requires video playback devices to have easily accessible accessibility features and mandates that video conferencing services and customer support offer features like voice recognition, visual interpretation, and direct video calling for sign language users. Additionally, it strengthens telecommunications relay services for DeafBlind individuals and sign language users, increases funding for equipment distribution for the DeafBlind, and directs the FCC to assess and regulate the accessibility of emerging technologies.
The Great American Healthcare Plan is a comprehensive bill that modifies tax rules for Health Savings Accounts, expands access to health insurance through new marketplace pools, and strengthens price transparency for hospitals and medical providers. It allows individuals to use HSAs for wellness expenses like healthy food and gym memberships, lets parents and children access each other's HSA funds, and requires hospitals to publicly list their standard charges and negotiated rates. The legislation also mandates that administrative service providers share detailed pricing data with health plans and creates a mechanism for pharmacists and nurses to dispense certain low-risk prescription drugs under expanded access.
This bill, the Original Additional Credit FHA Pilot Program Authorization Act, establishes a pilot program within the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) to allow prospective mortgage borrowers to voluntarily opt into a new credit scoring model. This model uses "additional data" beyond traditional credit reports to assess creditworthiness, aiming to help individuals with limited or no conventional credit history qualify for FHA-insured loans. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will select these new credit models and require lenders to inform borrowers about their options and how the pilot model differs. The program specifically prohibits its use for refinancing existing loans on the same property and mandates detailed reports to Congress on its effectiveness, demographic impact, and financial implications for the FHA's insurance fund.
This resolution expresses support for the Working Families Tax Cuts, a law already enacted in July 2025 that provides various tax benefits to American taxpayers. The bill directly affects individuals and families by recognizing specific provisions that reduce tax liability, including expanded child tax credits, increased standard deductions, and tax relief for tipped workers and overtime pay. Key provisions include making a four-person household earning under $73,000 generally face zero federal income tax, increasing the child tax credit to $2,200 per child, and allowing 529 accounts to cover K-12 and trade school expenses. The resolution also acknowledges tax relief for seniors, auto loan interest deductions for American-made vehicles, and expanded health savings account access. This is a procedural measure that formally acknowledges existing tax policies rather than creating new legislation.

The bill mandates removal unless the President complies with War Powers Resolution reporting requirements for self-defense actions, without needing new congressional authorization. As a procedural resolution, it does not create new law but compels executive action under existing legal framework.
HR 6001, the Veterans with ALS Reporting Act, requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to report to Congress on ALS incidence and care for veterans. Within one year of enactment, the VA must submit a report assessing ALS rates among veterans, describing current support services, identifying gaps in care, and proposing strategies for risk reduction and clinical trial access. The VA must also track ALS prevalence using the CDC’s registry and submit updated reports every three years. This bill focuses on gathering data to inform future policy, directly affecting veterans with ALS and VA/CDC operations.

This resolution formally impeaches Peter B. Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, for six articles of high crimes and misdemeanors. The articles allege unauthorized military actions against Iran without congressional approval, violations of international law regarding civilian casualties, mishandling of classified information, obstruction of congressional oversight, politicization of military decisions, and discriminatory conduct toward service members based on gender, race, and sexual orientation. If the House votes to adopt this resolution, the matter would be sent to the Senate for a trial to determine whether Hegseth should be removed from office.
