HR 9536: FEES Act of 2026

The FEES Act of 2026 modifies federal laws to limit the amount of legal fees and expenses that individuals can recover when winning lawsuits against the government. It caps these awards at $200,000 per case and restricts recipients to a maximum of three such awards in a single year, with exceptions for class-action lawsuits or cases involving the Social Security Administration and the Department of Veterans Affairs. The bill also requires that settlement agreements involving federal regulations or guidance documents cannot include payments for attorneys' fees or litigation costs. Additionally, the Act mandates an independent scientific review within five years to assess the ecological, social, and economic impacts of the legislation on federally managed lands.

HR 9432: LIFT the BAR Act

The LIFT the BAR Act aims to restore access to federal benefits for lawfully present noncitizens by repealing several restrictions imposed by the 1996 welfare reform law and a 2024 reconciliation bill. Specifically, it would allow eligible noncitizens to receive SNAP food assistance, Medicaid, CHIP, and child nutrition programs, while also updating legal terminology to refer to "noncitizens" rather than "aliens" in relevant statutes. The legislation includes provisions to ensure these individuals can qualify for premium tax credits and would require federal agencies to issue implementation guidance within 180 days of enactment.

HR 6835: Veterans STAND Act

The Veterans STAND Act requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide annual preventative health assessments to veterans with spinal cord injuries or disorders. These assessments cover risks for health complications, chronic pain management, dietary needs, prosthetic equipment, and access to assistive technologies like spinal cord neuromodulation devices. The VA must consult with medical specialists and device manufacturers when creating guidelines and submit yearly reports to Congress on veterans' use of these services and devices. This policy directly affects veterans with spinal cord injuries by ensuring regular, tailored health evaluations to improve long-term management and independence.

HR 5775: FCRA Liability Harmonization Act

This bill sets clear limits on class action lawsuits against credit reporting companies for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). For intentional failures to follow FCRA rules, it caps individual damages at $100,000 or 40% of total damages, and total class recovery at $500,000 or 1% of the company’s net worth. For negligent failures, it similarly limits total class recovery to $500,000, 1% of net worth, or 40% of actual damages. These changes directly affect credit bureaus (like Equifax or TransUnion) and creditors handling consumer credit data, preventing excessive damages in class actions. The bill harmonizes existing liability rules by adding specific, predictable financial limits to court awards.

HR 4398: Veteran Burial Timeliness and Death Certificate Accountability Act

HR 4398, the Veteran Burial Timeliness and Death Certificate Accountability Act, requires Veterans Affairs (VA) physicians or nurse practitioners to certify the death of a veteran who dies of natural causes within 48 hours of learning of the death. This directly affects veterans' families, who previously faced delays of up to eight weeks in burial and access to survivor benefits due to slow death certifications. The bill mandates annual reports to Congress on VA compliance with the 48-hour rule, including statistics on delays and their causes. The key change is establishing a strict timeline for death certification to prevent unnecessary delays in honoring veterans' final arrangements.

HR 9515: MFA Act

The Marketplace Fraud Accountability Act requires the healthcare.gov website to use multi-factor authentication for users enrolling in health plans or accessing their personal enrollment data. This security measure, which involves verifying identity through at least two methods like passwords and biometrics, must be implemented within one year of the bill's enactment. The law includes an exception for individuals who lack access to broadband or cellular service or cannot otherwise use this technology. By strengthening identity verification, the bill aims to protect consumer information while maintaining access for those with connectivity limitations.

HR 9514: Homeownership Eligibility Reform Act

The Homeownership Eligibility Reform Act restricts access to government-backed and private mortgage insurance for single-family homes to individuals who are U.S. citizens. Specifically, the bill amends laws governing the Federal Housing Administration, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac to require that borrowers for one-to-four-unit properties must be citizens to qualify for their mortgage products. This change directly affects foreign nationals and non-citizen residents who currently might purchase homes with these types of financing, effectively limiting their eligibility for these specific mortgage programs.

HR 9509: Kidney Disease Education Access Expansion Act of 2026

The Kidney Disease Education Access Expansion Act of 2026 expands Medicare coverage to include kidney disease education services for individuals with hypertension, diabetes, or any stage of chronic kidney disease, rather than limiting them to those with advanced disease. This bill broadens the range of eligible providers to include community health workers and clinical social workers, allows these services to be delivered in group settings or with caregivers present, and adds new topics such as transition assistance for transplant recipients. Starting in 2027, the law also requires private health insurance plans to cover these education services and establishes a working group to develop methods for measuring the effectiveness of the program.

HR 9261: Comprehensive Paid Leave for Federal Employees Act

The Comprehensive Paid Leave for Federal Employees Act expands paid family and medical leave benefits for federal workers, including those in the Executive Office of the President, the Postal Service, and the District of Columbia courts. Key provisions increase the standard leave entitlement to 12 weeks plus any accrued annual or sick leave, while also extending coverage to include pregnancy loss, fertility issues, and failed adoptions. The bill specifically adds a new category of leave allowing employees to take time off to address the needs of family members who are victims of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, or sex trafficking. To fund this expanded coverage, the legislation requires employees to agree to work for a period equal to the time taken off, with exceptions made for death or serious health conditions.

HRES 1391: Impeaching Linda M. McMahon, Secretary of Education, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

This resolution seeks to impeach Linda M. McMahon, the Secretary of Education, for three specific articles of misconduct: willfully violating federal laws, making false statements to Congress, and breaching the public trust. The bill alleges that McMahon illegally transferred the operations of six essential offices within the Department of Education to other federal agencies without congressional approval, contrary to the Department of Education Organization Act. It also claims she misled the Senate by promising to spend all congressionally appropriated funds while simultaneously canceling hundreds of grants and freezing funding for various educational programs. Additionally, the resolution accuses her of terminating approximately 2,000 employees, which disrupted the department's ability to manage federal funds and deliver services. If the House votes to adopt this resolution, the articles of impeachment would be sent to the Senate for a trial that could result in her removal from office.
