House Bills on the Floor

This bill would stop members of Congress, along with their spouses and dependent children, from buying stocks in publicly traded companies. If they want to sell stocks they already own, the member of Congress must publicly announce the planned sale 7 to 14 days ahead of time. Anyone who breaks these rules would have to pay a fee equal to the greater of $2,000 or 10% of the transaction's value, plus any profits they made, and that fee cannot be paid with campaign money or official congressional funds. Some types of investments are excluded from these rules, such as broad investment funds, and spouses and dependents get certain exceptions for transactions done as part of their job compensation or on behalf of someone else.

This bill sets aside money for the 2027 budget year to fund national security, the Department of State, and a number of related programs. It covers spending for the State Department's operations, international organizations, and various commissions focused on topics like religious freedom, security cooperation, and U.S.-China relations. The bill also funds programs that provide economic and security aid to other countries, as well as agencies like the Peace Corps, the Export-Import Bank, and the Millennium Challenge Corporation. Finally, it includes rules and limits on how the money from this bill and other spending bills can be used.

This bill would let pre-kindergarten teachers and educators take a tax deduction for money they spend out of their own pockets on classroom supplies and professional development, just like kindergarten through 12th-grade teachers already can. Right now, eligible K–12 educators can subtract up to $300 from their income on their tax returns for these kinds of expenses, but pre-K educators are not included. This bill would expand that same tax benefit to cover early childhood educators who work in pre-kindergarten education.

This resolution sets up the federal government's budget plan for the year 2027 and outlines spending and revenue goals through 2036. It tells several House committees, including those dealing with agriculture, the armed services, intelligence, and administration, to come up with proposed changes to laws that could increase the deficit by limited amounts, and to turn in those proposals by September 11, 2026. The resolution also creates rules for how the budget is enforced, including how to handle things like emergency spending, disaster relief, wildfire costs, and certain expenses for the Social Security Administration and the U.S. Postal Service.

This bill extends the Social Security Administration's ability to run test programs within the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program through 2031. These test programs, which must be voluntary, try out temporary changes to SSDI rules to help people with disabilities stay connected to the workforce. The bill requires that participating in a test program cannot reduce a person's total income, and it says the costs of running these programs must come from existing administrative funds. It also increases the amount of notice the Social Security Administration must give Congress before starting a new test program from 90 days to 120 days and requires that notice to include details on how the program will be measured.

This resolution tells the President to pull U.S. military forces out of any fighting against Iran or its government or military, unless Congress has officially declared war or passed a law allowing the use of military force against Iran. However, it does not stop the United States from defending itself, its troops, its diplomatic buildings, or allied countries from an attack that is about to happen.

This bill keeps the federal government funded and running from the start of the new budget year on October 1, 2026, through December 4, 2026, or until full spending bills are passed, whichever comes first. Most programs would continue to receive the same amount of money they got the year before, but some programs get special treatment, including the WIC nutrition program for women and young children, Small Business Administration loans, disaster relief, Indian Health Service, and wildfire fighting. The bill also extends several programs and rules that are set to expire, such as the National Flood Insurance Program, the TANF welfare program, limits on pay raises for certain top government officials, and a freeze on pay increases for members of Congress. It also includes payments to the families of two members of Congress who passed away — Representative David Scott and Senator Lindsey Graham.

This bill sets the rules, plans, and funding authorities for the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy's national security programs for the 2027 fiscal year. It covers a wide range of military topics, including buying aircraft and ships, deciding how many troops can serve on active duty and in the reserves, military health care, pay, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence. The bill also deals with how the military works with other countries, requires the Department of Defense to plan ahead for foreign military sales when making decisions about producing weapons and equipment, and sets up a faster process for finding new domestic and allied sources of important strategic materials like certain metals and magnets. Additionally, it approves specific military construction projects and authorizes programs related to nuclear security, naval petroleum reserves, and the Maritime Administration.

This bill changes banking rules to make them less strict, especially for smaller and rural banks. New banks would get three years to gradually meet certain financial requirements, and rural community banks would have lower requirements for how much money they need to keep on hand. The bill also makes it easier for banks to merge by allowing regulators to approve some mergers without checking whether they reduce competition. It raises the financial size limits that determine which banks have to follow certain rules, meaning more banks would be exempt from things like extra fees, reporting requirements, and needing government approval for acquisitions.

This bill deals with the war between Russia and Ukraine by providing help to Ukraine and setting up penalties against Russia. It creates a fund to help rebuild Ukraine, extends military and security aid to Ukraine and nearby European countries through the late 2020s, and requires efforts to strengthen the militaries of Baltic countries. The bill also requires the President to regularly check whether Russia is waging war against Ukraine, refusing to negotiate peace, or breaking a peace agreement, and if so, the President must impose penalties including blocking the property and visas of certain Russian officials and companies, and raising taxes on goods imported from Russia to at least 500% of their value.

This bill would make daylight saving time permanent across the country, so clocks would no longer need to be changed twice a year. States that currently have areas that don't follow daylight saving time would be allowed to choose which time to use for those areas.

This bill would make it easier to do geothermal energy drilling on state and private land (but not on Indian lands) by removing certain federal permit and review requirements. If the federal government owns less than half of the underground geothermal resources being accessed, operators would not need a federal drilling permit as long as they have a state permit. The bill also says these drilling activities would not require federal environmental reviews, endangered species consultations, or historic preservation reviews, though the historic preservation exemption only applies if the state already has its own law protecting historic properties.

This bill stops payment card companies (like credit card networks) from using special codes that single out gun stores as different from general merchandise or sporting goods stores. The Department of Justice is required to enforce this rule and put out a yearly report on any investigations or cases that come from it.

This bill tells the Department of the Interior to speed up and expand mining of important minerals on federal land. It requires the department to find mining projects that can be approved quickly, identify federal land with mining potential, and remove rules or actions that create unnecessary obstacles for mining projects. The department must also review state and local laws that get in the way of mining, suggest changes to current laws to increase U.S. mineral production, and report on the economic impact of depending on mineral imports from other countries. Additionally, it directs the department to speed up the mapping of geological resources across the country.

This bill changes the rules for donating money to political campaigns. It requires campaigns to verify more information when accepting online credit or debit card donations, like the card's security code and billing ZIP code, and it says the name on the card must match the name of the person donating. It also says donors generally must have a U.S. mailing address, bans donations made with gift cards or gift certificates, and removes a $200 minimum so that campaigns must report information about all donors, no matter how small the donation. The bill also makes it illegal to help someone donate under another person's name and requires campaigns to report any suspicious donations to the Federal Election Commission.

This law makes many changes to federal housing programs. It requires the Department of Housing and Urban Development to review housing counseling organizations, publish guidelines on zoning, and support new types of apartment buildings with a single staircase. It creates or changes several grant and pilot programs, including ones to help convert vacant buildings into housing, install temperature sensors in public housing, help low-income homeowners and landlords make property repairs, and support communities in planning for more affordable housing. The law also updates rules for manufactured and modular homes, raises loan limits for certain federal mortgage insurance programs, makes the Rental Assistance Demonstration program permanent, and requires lenders to notify mortgage applicants with military service about VA home loan options. It changes some environmental review requirements to speed up certain housing projects, adjusts how Community Development Block Grant funds are distributed based on housing growth, and generally bans large institutional investors who control 350 or more single-family homes from buying additional ones. The law also eases certain banking rules for community banks and credit unions, requires various federal agencies to study and report on housing-related issues, and temporarily prohibits the Federal Reserve from issuing a digital currency until the end of 2030.

This resolution tells the President to pull U.S. military forces out of any fighting in Lebanon within seven days after the resolution is approved. It also makes clear that this does not stop the U.S. from working with Lebanon's own military or from protecting U.S. diplomatic buildings in the country.

This resolution tells the President to pull U.S. military forces out of any fighting against Iran unless Congress has officially declared war or passed a specific approval to use military force against Iran. There is an exception if troops are needed to defend the United States, an ally, or a partner from an attack that is about to happen, but only if the President follows the rules of the War Powers Resolution. That law generally says the President must remove troops from fighting within 60 days after notifying Congress, unless Congress approves the military action.

This bill creates a commission made up of representatives from federal attorneys' offices and agencies to make recommendations about enforcing immigration law and reducing crime in Washington D.C., and to help with hiring and keeping police officers. It also requires the Department of the Interior to set up a program to clean and maintain popular areas in D.C. like monuments, parks, and roads, and to fix damaged federal monuments. The bill's requirements end on January 2, 2029.

This bill sets up rules to help stop the federal government from making payments that are fraudulent or incorrect. It requires government agencies to pause or review payments if there are clear signs that the payments might be fraudulent or wrong, but these reviews must be based on documented evidence, apply only to the specific payments that seem risky, and last only as long as needed to check things out. The Department of the Treasury must send payment requests back to agencies for review if its fraud-detection system flags them as high risk. The bill also says that government workers cannot be held personally responsible for actions they take in good faith while following these rules.

This bill gives the Bureau of the Fiscal Service at the Treasury Department the job of preventing fraud and wrong payments by the government, including running a system called "Do Not Pay" that checks if someone is eligible before they receive government money. It also creates a new Office of the Inspector General for Fraud, Accountability, and Recovery within the Treasury Department, which would investigate how certain federal funds are used, including coronavirus relief money, disaster relief spending, and any federal award of $50,000 or more. The bill requires the Treasury Department to share data with other government agencies and certain private organizations to help catch fraud, and the new inspector general's office must quickly report any suspected crimes to the Department of Justice.

This bill requires the Department of Education to set up a system that checks for identity fraud when people submit the FAFSA, which is the application used to get federal student aid. Starting October 1, 2026, every application would be screened, and if there is reason to suspect fraud, the applicant and their chosen schools would be notified. Schools would not be allowed to give out federal financial aid to a flagged applicant unless they first confirm the person's identity in person or through a live video call. The Department of Education already began a similar fraud detection process on April 26, 2026, which sorts applicants into risk categories and requires high-risk applicants to verify their identity during the application process.

This bill sets strict timelines for when employers and newly formed unions must start and try to finish their first contract. If the two sides can't reach a deal within 90 days, either side can bring in a federal mediator to help, and if mediation doesn't work within 30 days, the dispute goes to an arbitration panel that makes a binding decision lasting two years. During negotiations, employers must keep current pay, hours, and working conditions in place. The bill also requires a government report to Congress on how long it typically takes to finalize a first union contract.

This bill sets aside money for the 2027 budget year to fund the Department of Agriculture, the Food and Drug Administration, and related agencies. It covers a wide range of programs, including farming research, food safety inspections, crop insurance, rural housing and utilities, and nutrition programs like school meals, WIC, and SNAP (food stamps). The bill also funds foreign food aid programs, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and the Farm Credit Administration. In addition, it includes rules about how the money can and cannot be used, along with provisions related to animal food regulation, liability for donating pet products, and payments for building a water project called the Arkansas Valley Conduit.

This bill changes the rules for a federal program that gives money to states to help low-income working families pay for child care. Right now, if a state doesn't follow the program's rules, the federal government can choose to take action against that state, but it doesn't have to. Under this bill, the federal government would be required to punish states that break the rules, including potentially cutting off their funding from the program.

This bill would stop the Department of Veterans Affairs from sending certain veteran information to the background check system used when people buy guns. Currently, the VA can send personal information about veterans who have someone else managing their benefits to this system. Under this bill, the VA could only send this information if a court has specifically ruled that the veteran is dangerous to themselves or others.

This bill does several things for veterans and their families. It creates a new monthly payment of $833.33 for disabled veterans who already receive help because they need aid and attendance due to injuries from their military service. It also increases the monthly payments made to surviving family members of veterans or service members who died because of service-related conditions. The bill makes it easier for National Guard and reserve members to qualify for home loans through the VA by counting annual training as active duty and allowing eligibility after just 14 days of active-duty service. It also extends certain VA home loan fees and limits on pension amounts for hospitalized veterans through September 30, 2036.

This bill creates rules for how digital assets that run on blockchain technology (like cryptocurrencies) are bought and sold. It puts the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in charge of overseeing most transactions involving these digital assets, including the exchanges, brokers, and dealers that handle them. The bill also sets conditions for when these digital assets do or don't have to follow Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules, depending on factors like how established and independent the blockchain system is. Additionally, businesses dealing in these digital assets must follow anti-money laundering laws.

This bill says that public elementary and middle schools must get permission from a student's parents before making certain changes related to that student's gender. Specifically, schools would need parental consent before changing a student's gender markers, pronouns, or preferred name on school forms, or before changing which bathrooms or locker rooms a student uses. Schools that don't follow this rule could lose certain federal education funding.

This bill sets up the Smithsonian American Women's History Museum on a specific spot on the National Mall in Washington, DC, across from the National Museum of African American History and Culture, though the President could pick a different location within 180 days. The Smithsonian must get approval from certain federal agencies to plan, design, and build the museum, and it must pay back any costs from that approval process. The bill says the museum must focus on the history, achievements, and lived experiences of biological women in the United States, and it may not identify or present any biological male as a female. The museum's advisory council is required to seek input from a wide range of sources that reflect different political viewpoints and the diverse experiences of women in the country.

This bill sets aside money for the 2027 fiscal year to pay for military construction projects, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and some related programs. The military construction funding covers building projects for all branches of the armed forces, including the National Guard and Reserves, as well as military family housing and NATO security investments. The bill also funds veterans' benefits, veterans' health care, national cemeteries, and a fund for veterans exposed to toxic substances during war. In addition, it provides money for related programs like the American Battle Monuments Commission, the veterans' appeals court, and the Armed Forces Retirement Home, and it includes rules about how the money can and cannot be spent.

This bill sets new rules for how monitors are appointed and managed. Monitors are independent officials chosen to watch over state or local governments to make sure they follow through on required reforms, like fixing problems with unconstitutional policing. The bill requires that the public be notified and given a chance to comment before a monitor is picked, limits each monitor to one job at a time, sets a five-year time limit on their service, and requires them to publicly report their fees and the work they do. It also puts a cap on how much monitors can be paid and allows the use of free volunteer services.

This bill requires the Department of Justice to publish a yearly list of state and local governments that allow people charged with certain serious crimes — such as murder, rape, burglary, looting, or vandalism — to be released before trial without having to pay bail. Instead, these individuals would be released based on a promise to appear in court or a bond that doesn't require upfront payment. The bill also notes that President Donald Trump issued an executive order on August 25, 2025, directing the Department of Justice to compile a similar list of places that have largely gotten rid of cash bail for crimes considered a threat to public safety.

This bill changes federal law so that paying bail or bond money for people accused of crimes — including immigration-related cases — is now considered part of the insurance business. This means that organizations like charitable groups that pay bail for defendants would have to follow the same federal fraud laws and state licensing rules that insurance companies follow. If these groups don't meet those requirements, they could face criminal penalties.

This bill changes rules about gasoline that contains ethanol. Currently, gasoline mixed with 10% ethanol can be sold all year, but gasoline with 10-15% ethanol faces summer restrictions in some areas due to air quality rules. The bill would allow gasoline with up to 15% ethanol to be sold year-round by removing these summer restrictions. States that currently have exemptions from these rules would lose those exemptions, but they could apply for new ones after the bill passes. The bill also requires the Environmental Protection Agency to return certain compliance credits to small oil refineries under specific conditions.

This resolution tells the President to pull U.S. military forces out of any fighting against Iran or its government or military by March 30, 2026, unless Congress has officially declared war or passed a law allowing the use of military force against Iran.

This bill removes rules that were set to stop the use of fossil fuels like oil and gas in new federal buildings and major building renovations by 2030. It tells the Department of Energy to go back to following the older standards as if the fossil fuel phase-out rules never existed, until new rules are created. The bill also says that programs that rate buildings as "green" or environmentally friendly cannot refuse to give federal buildings a green certification just because those buildings use fossil fuels.

This bill changes the rules about how certain air pollution events are handled under the Clean Air Act. Right now, states can ask the EPA to ignore air pollution data caused by unusual events like wildfires so those events don't count against them when measuring air quality. This bill expands what counts as an unusual event to include things like extreme heat, lack of rain, and human activities meant to prevent wildfires, such as controlled burns. It also requires the EPA to update its rules on handling air quality data affected by wildfire prevention efforts and to do broader regional studies when multiple states report the same event.

This joint resolution would cancel a government order from 2023 that blocked mining and energy drilling on about 225,504 acres of national forest land in three Minnesota counties for 20 years. That order was put in place to protect nearby waterways, wilderness areas, and tribal lands from possible damage caused by mining and energy exploration. If this resolution passes, the land would once again be open for companies to lease for mining minerals and developing geothermal energy.

This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to give Haiti temporary protected status for 18 months starting August 3, 2025. People from Haiti who qualify for this status can get permission to work in the United States, cannot be held in detention because of their immigration status, and cannot be sent back to Haiti while they have this protection.

This bill changes rules under the Clean Air Act so that states are not punished for air pollution that comes from sources they cannot control, like wildfires or pollution drifting in from other countries. If a state can show that it would have met air quality standards except for these outside emissions, it would not have to pay certain fees or face penalties. States would need to prove this again at least every five years to keep the protection. The bill also says that an area cannot be labeled as having unhealthy air levels if the state can show the problem is caused by pollution coming from outside the country, including pollution caused by human activity in other nations.

There is an exception if troops are needed to defend the United States, an ally, or a partner from an attack that is about to happen, but even then the President must follow certain rules. Under those rules, the President generally has to remove troops from fighting within 60 days after notifying Congress, unless Congress gives approval to continue.

This bill provides funding for the Department of Homeland Security for the rest of the 2026 fiscal year and ends a partial shutdown of the department that started on February 14, 2026, when its temporary funding ran out. It covers money for many DHS agencies, including Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Transportation Security Administration, the Coast Guard, the Secret Service, FEMA, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, among others. The bill also allows back pay for federal workers who were affected by the shutdown and officially approves certain costs that were made during the shutdown to protect life and property and wind down government operations in an orderly way.
