This bill, known as the Bulletproof Law Enforcement Vehicles Act, directs the Department of Homeland Security to allow funding for upgrading law enforcement vehicles with security features like bulletproof windows. By amending an existing law, it expands the types of vehicle enhancements that can be financed with current federal assistance programs. The change specifically authorizes the use of these funds for protective upgrades without creating new budgetary requirements. Law enforcement agencies that receive federal financial assistance would be the primary beneficiaries of this expanded eligibility.

The resolution further recognizes law enforcement officers across the United States in the pursuit of preserving safe and secure communities; the need to ensure that such officers have the equipment, training, and resources necessary to protect their health and safety while they are protecting the public; and the law enforcement community for acts of sacrifice and heroism. The resolution expresses condolences and appreciation to the loved ones of each law enforcement officer who has made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.
This joint resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran that lack explicit congressional authorization, asserting Congress's constitutional war-declaring power. The measure applies only to ongoing military engagements within or against Iran and does not restrict defensive actions against attacks on the United States or its personnel. It permits continued intelligence gathering and defensive support for partner nations attacked by Iran since late February 2026, while requiring a formal declaration of war or specific statutory authorization for any future offensive military operations.
This House resolution condemns the ongoing civil war in Sudan and calls for an end to external support provided to the warring parties, the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces. It urges the Trump Administration to stop supplying weapons or other assistance to these groups and to negotiate a peaceful settlement that restores democratic governance. The bill also highlights the severe humanitarian crisis affecting millions of people and demands that aid workers be granted safe, unrestricted access to deliver essential supplies. Additionally, it calls on the international community to support post-conflict reconstruction and establish a justice mechanism to hold perpetrators of war crimes accountable.
This joint resolution seeks to disapprove a Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection rule that would have withdrawn whistleblower protections previously established under Consumer Financial Protection Circular 2024-04. The bill directly affects financial institutions and employees who report violations of consumer financial laws by preventing the removal of existing whistleblower safeguards. If enacted, the resolution would keep the original whistleblower protections in place and nullify the proposed withdrawal rule. The measure uses the Congressional Review Act process to formally reject the agency's regulatory action.
HRES 64 is a non-binding House resolution affirming the U.S.-South Korea alliance.

The resolution formally supports strengthening security, economic, and cultural ties between the two nations and notes the 2025 anniversary of Korean liberation. It does not create new laws or funding, but serves as a symbolic statement of congressional support for the alliance.
This bill would amend federal law to strengthen penalties for organized retail crime by expanding definitions of theft to include digital goods, gift cards, and setting a $5,000 aggregate value threshold for charges over a 12-month period. It would establish a new "Organized Retail and Supply Chain Crime Coordination Center" under Homeland Security to coordinate Federal, State, local, and Tribal law enforcement efforts against cross-jurisdictional theft groups. The Center would share information with retailers, transportation companies, and law enforcement agencies, track crime trends, and produce annual reports on organized retail crime. This legislation directly affects retailers, supply chain businesses, and law enforcement agencies, while targeting organized crime groups responsible for a 93% increase in larceny incidents and rising safety concerns for retail employees. The bill aims to address significant financial losses and supply chain disruptions noted in the National Retail Federation's 2023 data.
HR 2267, the NICS Data Reporting Act of 2025, requires the Attorney General to annually report demographic data from firearm background checks conducted through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). The report must include details like race, ethnicity, age, disability, income, and language proficiency - where available - on individuals found ineligible to purchase firearms. This affects the Department of Justice, which must submit these reports to the Senate and House Judiciary Committees within one year of the law's enactment and annually thereafter. The bill focuses solely on collecting and reporting existing background check data, without changing firearm eligibility rules or creating new requirements for gun buyers.
This concurrent resolution expresses Congress's support for law enforcement officers and honors those who have died or been injured while performing their duties. The document highlights the dangers officers face, noting high rates of assaults and suicide, as well as current staffing shortages compared to pre-2020 levels. It calls for increased measures to improve officer safety, including more personnel, better training and equipment, stricter penalties for assaulting officers, and expanded mental health resources. This non-binding measure does not create new laws or allocate funding but serves to formally recognize the contributions of police professionals and urge government bodies to provide necessary support.
This resolution reaffirms the House of Representatives' support for the Taiwan Relations Act and longstanding bipartisan U.S. policy toward Taiwan. It highlights key provisions such as maintaining commercial and cultural ties, emphasizing regional peace, and providing Taiwan with defensive arms. The document also reiterates the Six Assurances, which clarify that the U.S. does not set a date for ending arms sales, will not mediate between Taiwan and China, and will not pressure Taiwan to negotiate with China. By restating these principles, the bill aims to reinforce the current framework without introducing new legal obligations or changing existing policy.
The Full-Service Community School Expansion Act of 2026 authorizes billions of dollars in federal funding to expand a program that transforms public schools into community hubs offering integrated student supports, expanded learning time, and active family engagement. This legislation primarily affects local educational agencies, schools serving high-poverty populations, and eligible entities such as school districts, tribes, and nonprofits that apply for grants to implement or expand these school models. Key provisions establish new roles like community school coordinators and directors, mandate the creation of diverse leadership teams including parents and community members, and require schools to provide services such as health care, housing assistance, and after-school programs. The bill also updates definitions within the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to clarify eligibility criteria and outlines specific reporting requirements to track student outcomes and program effectiveness.
The Diesel Prices Relief Act of 2026 eliminates the federal excise tax on diesel fuel for a period ending on January 1, 2027, directly affecting drivers and businesses that use diesel. To offset the lost revenue, the bill requires the Treasury Secretary to transfer money from the general fund to the Highway Trust Fund and the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund. The legislation also mandates that fuel producers and dealers pass these savings immediately to consumers and gives the Treasury authority to enforce this requirement.
