S 3772: Export-Import Bank Reauthorization Act of 2026

This bill extends the operating authority of the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) from 2026 to 2036. It also updates the expiration dates for the bank's loan, guarantee, and insurance authority limits (from 2027 to 2037) and adjusts the timeline for its program focused on China and transformational exports to 2036. The bill directly affects U.S. exporters and financial institutions that rely on EXIM to provide financing for overseas sales of American goods. It makes no new policy changes but ensures the bank’s existing programs can continue operating under current parameters for an additional decade.

S 3776: The Federal Grant Neutrality Act

The Federal Grant Neutrality Act (S 3776) prevents the Department of Justice from requiring entities to comply with specific immigration-related laws or presidential directives as a condition for receiving DOJ grants. It specifically blocks the Attorney General from demanding agreement to Section 642 of the 1996 immigration law, presidential memoranda, or executive orders. This directly affects local governments, community organizations, and other applicants seeking federal grant funding from the DOJ. The bill removes these requirements as a prerequisite for grant eligibility, ensuring entities can access funding without meeting those particular conditions. The change applies only to DOJ-administered grants, not other federal programs.

S 3777: Rebuild America’s Schools Act of 2026

The Rebuild America's Schools Act of 2026 would provide $20 billion annually (2027-2031) to improve public school facilities across the United States. The bill directs funds to states based on previous Title I funding allocations, requiring states to contribute 10% of the funds (with some exceptions) and develop plans for equitable distribution to school districts. Local educational agencies must prioritize schools with high numbers of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and funds can be used for construction, renovation, energy efficiency upgrades, removal of toxic substances, and making facilities accessible. The bill also establishes school infrastructure bonds to leverage private investment and includes specific provisions to repair foundations damaged by pyrrhotite.

S 3771: Department of Veterans Affairs Therapeutic Medical Physicist Pay Cap Relief Act of 2026

This bill removes pay caps for therapeutic and diagnostic medical physicists employed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). It directly affects VA-employed medical physicists who specialize in radiation treatment planning (therapeutic) and imaging diagnostics (diagnostic), who previously faced lower pay rates than other VA healthcare professionals. The key mechanism amends Title 38 of the U.S. Code to insert these roles into pay classifications, qualifications, and grade structures alongside physicians, podiatrists, and dentists. The bill also requires the VA Secretary to submit a report within one year assessing the impact of these pay changes on staffing, costs, and care provided under VA agreements.

HR 7341: GRAD Act

This bill creates new funding eligibility for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Predominantly Black Institutions (PBIs) that offer approved master's degree programs. It amends existing law to add specific categories (subsections S for HBCUs and F for PBIs) allowing these institutions to access federal funds previously restricted to certain program types. The key mechanism expands funding access by adjusting how remaining funds are allocated after initial disbursements. Directly affects qualifying HBCUs and PBIs meeting both the institution type and master's program criteria.

HR 7345: Studying Disastrous Impacts of Mass Deportation Act

HR 7345 directs the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to study the long-term economic effects of immigration policies implemented beginning January 20, 2025. The CBO must assess impacts across specific sectors (like healthcare, agriculture, STEM fields), public safety concerns, demographic shifts, small business effects, and tax revenue at federal, state, and local levels. Federal agencies - including Homeland Security, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the IRS - must provide requested data to support this study. The report must be completed within 180 days of the bill’s enactment or by the end of the current congressional session, whichever comes first. This is a procedural study bill, not a policy change.

HR 7375: End Prison Gerrymandering Act

HR 7375, the End Prison Gerrymandering Act, changes how incarcerated individuals are counted in the U.S. Census starting with the 2030 census. It requires the Census Bureau to count people in prison at their last known residence before incarceration, rather than at the prison location. This directly affects incarcerated individuals and their home communities, ensuring these communities are accurately represented in congressional redistricting. States must then use this home address data when drawing congressional districts, preventing prison populations from artificially inflating representation in rural areas where prisons are often located.

HR 7356: To amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to prohibit the use of Federal funds for election administration in States that permit ballot harvesting.

HR 7356, the "No Federal Funds for Ballot Harvesting Act," amends the Help America Vote Act to block federal funding for election administration in states that permit third parties (non-voters) to collect and transmit mailed ballots for federal elections. It requires states to prohibit such collection by non-authorized individuals, with exceptions for election officials, USPS employees, and family/caregivers living with or assisting the voter. States failing to adopt this prohibition would lose federal funds for administering federal elections. The bill cites concerns about ballot chain-of-custody vulnerabilities and references the Supreme Court’s Brnovich ruling upholding state restrictions on ballot harvesting.

HR 7340: Rebuild America’s Schools Act of 2026

The Rebuild America's Schools Act of 2026 authorizes $20 billion annually from 2027 to 2031 to improve public school facilities nationwide. The bill provides grants to states to fund school construction, renovation, and modernization projects that focus on safety, energy efficiency, and accessibility, with priority given to schools serving high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Funds cannot be used for routine maintenance, athletic facilities, or vehicles, and must meet specific environmental, safety, and energy efficiency standards. The bill also includes specific provisions for repairing school foundations affected by pyrrhotite, a mineral that causes concrete deterioration, and requires use of American-made materials for construction projects.

HR 7368: Riley Gaines Act

The Riley Gaines Act allows female student athletes injured in women's sports competitions to sue schools or athletic associations that permitted biologically male athletes to compete in those events. It creates a legal pathway for victims to seek compensation for physical injuries, lost scholarships, or missed professional opportunities due to the inherent physiological advantages of male athletes. If a female athlete wins a lawsuit under this law, the court must also award them reasonable attorney fees. The bill directly affects institutions of higher education and athletic associations that oversee women's sports competitions.

HR 7346: Drain ICE Act of 2026

HR 7346, the Drain ICE Act of 2026, repeals specific funding provisions (sections 90003 and 100052) from the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" and cancels all unspent funds allocated under those sections. This bill directly affects ICE’s detention budget by removing existing financial authority for detention operations. It does not change immigration enforcement practices or directly impact individuals; it solely modifies budgetary allocations. The bill focuses on eliminating funding mechanisms, not on policy changes for migrants or enforcement. (Procedural bill; summary limited to 2 sentences as specified.)

This bill would significantly increase the number of temporary visas for foreign nurses working in the U.S., raising the annual cap from 500 to 20,000. These visas would be specifically for nurses working in designated healthcare shortage areas, as determined by the Health Resources and Services Administration. It also requires healthcare facilities to have established provider-to-patient staffing ratio policies. The bill mandates that the Health and Human Services and State Departments issue implementing regulations within one year of enactment.
