S 4279: Coordinating AUKUS Engagement with Japan Act of 2024

This bill requires the U.S. State Department and Defense Department AUKUS coordinators to work directly with Japan within 90 days to assess Japan's export control system and potential cooperation on AUKUS Pillar Two (advanced defense technology projects). It mandates a joint briefing to Congress within 30 days of this engagement and a full report within 180 days evaluating Japan's readiness, including its export licensing processes, security protocols, and needed reforms. The bill focuses on determining whether Japan can effectively partner with the U.S., Australia, and the U.K. on sensitive technology projects under AUKUS Pillar Two. It does not create new partnerships but establishes a structured process to evaluate Japan's eligibility.

S 4292: SAVE Act

The SAVE Act requires voters to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. It defines acceptable proof as documents like U.S. passports, birth certificates, military IDs, or government-issued IDs showing U.S. birth. States must verify citizenship through these documents or use government databases like the Department of Homeland Security's SAVE system. The bill establishes processes for voters without required documentation to submit affidavits under penalty of perjury. It aims to ensure only U.S. citizens can register to vote in federal elections.

S 4266, the Back to Work Act of 2024, limits telework for federal employees to no more than 40% of workdays per pay period, directly affecting all federal workers.

SRES 668: A resolution honoring the life of Daniel Robert "Bob" Graham, former Senator for the State of Florida.

This resolution (SRES 668) is a ceremonial Senate measure honoring the late Senator Daniel Robert "Bob" Graham of Florida, who died on November 9, 2023. It formally expresses the Senate's "profound sorrow" over his death and directs the Secretary of the Senate to share the resolution with the House of Representatives and deliver a copy to his family. The resolution commemorates Graham's career as a Florida senator (1987-2005), governor (1979-1987), and his work on the 9/11 intelligence inquiry, but does not create any new laws or affect constituents. As a commemorative resolution, it serves solely to memorialize his service.

SJRES 76: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Labor relating to "Short-Term, Limited-Duration Insurance and Independent, Noncoordinated Excepted Benefits Coverage".

This bill (SJRES 76) seeks congressional disapproval of a Department of Labor rule published on April 3, 2024 (89 Fed. Reg. 23338), which established regulations for "Short-Term, Limited-Duration Insurance and Independent, Noncoordinated Excepted Benefits Coverage." If passed, the resolution would block this rule from taking effect, preventing it from governing temporary health insurance plans that don't meet Affordable Care Act standards. The rule directly affects insurers offering these short-term plans and consumers who purchase them, as it would have set new requirements for such coverage. The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act process to halt the rule without changing existing law.

As a symbolic resolution, it has no legal effect and does not change existing policies or laws.

SRES 670: A resolution strongly condemning the rise of antisemitism on campuses of institutions of higher education across the United States.

SRES 670 is a Senate resolution condemning the rise of antisemitism on U.S. college campuses, citing a 700% increase in incidents since October 7, 2023, as tracked by Hillel International. It specifically criticizes campus administrators who enabled antisemitic activities, including protests expressing support for Hamas and targeting Jewish students. The resolution urges the Department of Education to ensure colleges comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on national origin - including antisemitism. It directly affects Jewish students, Israeli students, and campus administrators, while calling for enforcement of existing civil rights protections. The resolution does not create new laws but serves as a formal statement of condemnation and a call for accountability.

Universities with endowments over $5 billion cannot receive any federal funds for indirect costs, while those with $2-5 billion endowments are capped at 8% indirect cost reimbursement.
