Shared Values Act
The Shared Values Act is a comprehensive legislative package that modifies various federal programs to support local agriculture, healthcare, and infrastructure while introducing new regulations for government employees and public services. It increases funding for farmers' markets, establishes a new Climate and Health program within the CDC, and mandates the installation of baby changing tables on Amtrak trains. The bill also expands financial disclosure requirements for special government employees, raises the cap on state and local tax deductions, and authorizes the Secretary of State to assist international efforts against violence against LGBTQI+ people. Additionally, it includes provisions to improve nursing workforce development, restrict sexual relationships between House members and their staff, and create a pilot program for critical infrastructure security training.
