HR 7224: Secure Revenue Clearance Channel Act of 2026

HR 7224 creates a simplified customs entry process for express carriers shipping low-value merchandise (under $600) by allowing electronic manifest submissions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) instead of full documentation. It directly affects eligible express carriers (like major package delivery companies) operating under "closely integrated administrative control," requiring CBP approval of their electronic systems. The bill mandates a fee (20% of value, the applicable tariff rate, or other fixed duty) collected by carriers, which replaces specific fees and duties like those under 19 U.S.C. 58c(a) and most-favored nation tariffs. Exceptions apply for items like alcohol, tobacco, or merchandise subject to antidumping duties or tariff-rate quotas.

SRES 585: A resolution honoring the life, achievements, and legacy of Ben Nighthorse Campbell.

SRES 585 is a commemorative resolution honoring Ben Nighthorse Campbell, a former U.S. Senator from Colorado and the first Native American to chair the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs. It recognizes his military service, Olympic judo career, legislative work (including authoring the National Museum of the American Indian Act), and advocacy for tribal communities. The resolution has no policy impact - it formally expresses the Senate’s respect for his legacy, requests transmission to his family, and directs a moment of silence. It directly affects Campbell’s legacy and family, not any current policy or population. (Note: This is a procedural resolution, not a bill with legislative provisions.)

S 3659: SECURE Minerals Act of 2026

The SECURE Minerals Act of 2026 establishes a new Strategic Resilience Reserve Corporation to secure U.S. supply chains for critical minerals and materials essential to technology, defense, and energy sectors. The Reserve will finance domestic and partner country production, acquire critical minerals for strategic stockpiling, and develop market data to support responsible production practices. With $2.5 billion in initial funding, the Reserve aims to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign sources, particularly China, by developing alternative supply chains and ensuring production rates meet specific targets. The legislation includes provisions for transparency, oversight, and annual reporting to Congress, with the Reserve prioritizing domestic projects, recycling, and repurposing of critical minerals.

S 3681: Keep Our Border Agents Paid Act

This bill ensures that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) border agents, officers, and certain contractors continue receiving pay and benefits during government funding gaps. It specifically covers "excepted employees" (those required to work during shutdowns) and "covered contractors" supporting border operations, including Border Patrol, Air and Marine Operations, and enforcement units. The bill appropriates funds from the Treasury to pay salaries and cover specific benefits like disability compensation, death benefits, and funeral expenses until regular appropriations are enacted. It applies to all border and immigration enforcement personnel directly affected by funding lapses, without creating new programs or altering existing work requirements.

HR 7115: Jumpstart Savings Act

The Jumpstart Savings Act creates a new tax-advantaged savings program for state-run accounts that help individuals save for career-specific training and expenses. It directly affects workers, apprentices, and students pursuing certified trades or occupations by allowing tax-free contributions to accounts covering costs like community college tuition, apprenticeship fees, certification exams, trade tools, and business startup expenses. The bill enables rollovers from existing 529 college savings plans into these accounts and requires states to administer the programs with reporting rules similar to current 529 plans.

HR 7118: Genomic Answers for Children’s Health Act of 2026

HR 7118, the Genomic Answers for Children’s Health Act of 2026, requires Medicaid to cover whole genome and whole exome sequencing for Medicaid-eligible children with specific medical needs, including genetic disorders, rare diseases, congenital anomalies, developmental delays, or intellectual disabilities. It mandates that this testing be ordered as a first-tier test by a physician and paid separately, not bundled with other services. The bill also requires the Department of Health and Human Services to convene stakeholders, conduct outreach to raise awareness, and publish a report within two years detailing state payment rates and usage data. Additionally, it directs a Comptroller General report assessing implementation barriers, workforce challenges, and payment alignment with market costs. The changes take effect January 1, 2027.

HR 6182: Find It Early Act

The Find It Early Act requires most health insurance plans, Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, and VA benefits to cover certain breast cancer screenings without cost-sharing for specific at-risk groups. It affects individuals at increased breast cancer risk (as determined by medical guidelines), those with dense breast tissue (as defined by the American College of Radiology), and others requiring screening due to factors like age, race, ethnicity, or family history. The bill mandates coverage for various screening methods including mammograms, ultrasounds, MRI, and other technologies at frequencies recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. This requirement takes effect for plan years beginning January 1, 2026, removing financial barriers to early detection.

S 222: Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act of 2025

The bill clarifies that milk fat in whole milk should not be counted as saturated fat for compliance with meal nutrition standards. Additionally, it requires schools to include food allergy information in training for food service personnel. These changes directly affect schools participating in the National School Lunch Program and the students who eat school meals.

S 3626: Federal Correctional Officer Paycheck Protection Act of 2026

This bill increases base pay for Federal correctional officers by 35% above their current General Schedule or law enforcement officer rates, replacing their existing base pay for all compensation purposes. It directly affects Bureau of Prisons correctional officers whose duties involve inmate custody, control, or routine direct contact in custodial settings, including certain supervisory roles. The pay increase is capped at the rate for Executive Schedule Level V (for officers) or Level IV (for Federal Wage System employees), and expires after five years unless the Department of Justice Inspector General certifies progress in reducing non-custodial staff "augmentation" and excessive overtime. The law requires a review 180 days before expiration to assess staffing changes and impacts on recruitment, retention, and safety.
