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 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 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 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 renews the Endangered Species Act through 2031 and generally reduces the protections it provides. It creates a five-year plan for deciding which species should be listed as endangered or threatened, gives government agencies more time to respond to requests to list species, and limits which land can be set aside as critical habitat. The bill also allows states to manage the recovery of threatened species in some cases, lets private landowners make voluntary agreements to help at-risk species while continuing their operations, and removes some environmental review requirements for certain permits that allow harm to protected species. Additionally, it limits some requirements around government consultations, court challenges, and attorney fee payments in certain legal cases.

This bill extends until October 20, 2027, a part of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) that allows the government to collect communications from non-U.S. persons located outside the United States in order to gather foreign intelligence. It also keeps backup rules in place so that if these authorities expire, any existing surveillance orders can continue until their own expiration dates. Communications involving U.S. persons may sometimes be picked up as part of this surveillance and can be searched under certain conditions.

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.

This bill would stop the Environmental Protection Agency from having to review and comment on new federal construction projects and other major federal actions that already get reviewed under a different environmental law called the National Environmental Policy Act. It would also stop the EPA from reviewing proposed federal regulations in these cases.

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: troops can still be used to defend the United States, an ally, or a partner from an immediate attack, as long as the President follows the rules of the War Powers Resolution. That law generally says the President must remove troops from fighting within 60 days unless Congress gives approval to continue.

This bill would remove certain environmental and historic preservation review requirements for some changes to existing wireless towers and cell phone base stations. The changes covered include adding new equipment to existing towers, removing equipment, or replacing equipment. Under current law, these types of projects must go through reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act and the National Historic Preservation Act, but this bill would eliminate those review requirements for these specific tower modifications.

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.

This bill gives the President the power to block ships from entering the United States if those ships have stopped at a port or marine terminal in a Western Hemisphere country that has a free trade agreement with the U.S. and that country's government seized the port from an American owner. The ban would stay in place until the country gives the property back, pays fair compensation, or the issue is resolved in a way the President accepts. The bill also makes exceptions for ships facing emergencies or situations where the American property owner gave permission to use the facility.

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 says that a person who is not a U.S. citizen can be blocked from entering the country or deported if they are convicted of, or admit to, harming animals that are used in law enforcement work, such as police dogs or horses. The bill is officially called the BOWOW Act.

This bill says that non-U.S. citizens who have committed fraud related to certain public benefits — like food assistance (SNAP), Social Security, or other federally funded programs — or who have made fake identification documents, can be blocked from entering the country or deported. It applies to people who have been convicted of these offenses or who admit to committing them. The bill also makes these individuals ineligible for certain protections that can normally prevent deportation, including protections for people who may face torture in another country.

This bill stops three federal agencies — the Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the Forest Service — from banning or creating rules about using lead ammunition or fishing tackle on federal land or water. However, there are exceptions: these agencies can still regulate lead ammunition or tackle if they have field data showing that lead use is the main reason a wildlife population is declining in a specific area, and the state also agrees to the regulations.

This bill lets mining companies use federal land for activities related to mining — like disposing of waste rock — even if the land itself doesn't contain valuable minerals worth mining. It responds to a court decision that had limited where mining companies could set up waste disposal sites on public land. The bill also allows miners to claim as many sites for waste disposal as they reasonably need, as long as it's part of an approved plan. Finally, it creates a fund, paid for by fees on these claims, that the Department of the Interior must use to clean up old, abandoned mines.

This bill makes changes to several federal housing programs. It raises the loan limits for government-backed mortgages on multifamily homes, increases the income cap so more people can qualify for housing assistance grants, and creates a new grant program to help local and state governments plan for affordable housing. The bill also makes other changes, such as stopping veterans' disability payments from counting as income when determining eligibility for a veterans housing program, removing the requirement that manufactured homes be built on a permanent frame with wheels, skipping certain environmental reviews for some housing projects, and setting up a test program using temperature sensors in public housing. Finally, it increases oversight of housing agencies by requiring them to publicly share information about their contracts online.

The money covers a wide range of DHS activities, including border protection, immigration enforcement, the Transportation Security Administration, the Coast Guard, the Secret Service, cybersecurity, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), among others. The bill also authorizes back pay for federal employees affected by the shutdown and officially approves certain costs that were necessary during the shutdown to protect life and property.

This resolution tells the President to stop using U.S. military forces in 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 makes clear that the U.S. would still be allowed to defend itself if an attack is about to happen.

This bill gets rid of several government programs run by the Department of Energy, including a rebate program that helped lower- and middle-income households pay for electric home upgrades, a grant program that trained home energy efficiency contractors, and a program that helped state and local governments adopt certain building energy codes. It also takes back any leftover money that was set aside for the rebate program and the building energy codes program.

This bill changes the rules for how the Department of Energy (DOE) sets energy-saving standards for household appliances like gas stoves, clothes washers, and dishwashers. It gives DOE more flexibility on timing for updating standards and allows standards to be changed or removed if they raise costs for consumers, don't save much energy or water, aren't technically practical, or make certain products unavailable to buyers. The bill also requires DOE to publicly disclose certain meetings with groups that have ties to China, have pushed for limits on energy use, or have received federal money. Additionally, it stops DOE from setting new energy standards for distribution transformers, which are devices used to deliver electricity.

This bill would make it so that certain devices designed to be non-deadly — like some TASERs — are no longer regulated under the same gun laws that cover regular firearms. To qualify, these devices must not fire projectiles faster than 500 feet per second, must be designed so they are not likely to kill or seriously injure someone, and must not accept ammunition magazines. The bill also requires the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to decide within 90 days whether a device meets this definition when someone asks them to review it.

This joint resolution cancels a law passed by the Washington, DC Council in December 2025 that changed DC's tax rules. Because DC normally adopts federal tax changes automatically, a federal law (known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act) had automatically become part of DC's tax code — including bigger standard tax deductions, not taxing tips, and faster write-offs for certain business property. The DC Council passed its own law to separate DC's tax code from these and other federal changes and also made other tax updates, like bringing back a DC child tax credit. This joint resolution would undo what the DC Council did, putting DC's tax code back in line with the federal changes.

This bill stops the Department of Commerce from requiring special permits for work on undersea fiber optic cables — like installing, fixing, or maintaining them — inside national marine sanctuaries, as long as another state or federal agency has already given permission for that work. It also allows Commerce to have the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) work with other federal agencies when cable-related activities might damage resources in a national marine sanctuary.

This bill relates to a national emergency that the President declared on February 1, 2025. It likely addresses whether to approve, modify, or end that emergency declaration, but the exact action it would take is not clear from the title alone. No official summary is available for this bill.

This bill requires the Department of Energy to protect the supply of energy resources that are important to keeping the country's energy systems running, especially those whose supply chains could be easily disrupted. The Department would have to regularly study these resources, looking at things like weaknesses in supply chains, limits on producing them in the U.S., government rules that affect their production, and how depending on imports or actions by hostile countries could threaten U.S. energy security. The bill also directs the Department to come up with plans to strengthen supply chains, find alternatives to these critical resources, and improve ways to reuse and recycle them.

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 provides funding for the rest of the 2026 fiscal year to several major parts of the federal government, including the Departments of Defense, Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, the Treasury, and the State Department, among others. It also gives temporary funding to the Department of Homeland Security at 2025 spending levels until February 13, 2026, or until a separate funding bill is passed for that department. In addition, the bill extends a number of programs and authorities that were set to expire, covering a wide range of areas such as flood insurance, food safety standards, cybersecurity, immigration programs, trade preferences for certain countries, welfare assistance (TANF), and several health care programs.

This bill would require colleges and universities that receive federal student aid money to give current and prospective students information about their rights and resources if they are pregnant or may become pregnant and want to carry their baby to term. Schools would need to share a list of community and campus resources to help pregnant students, explain what accommodations are available during and after pregnancy, and tell students how to file a discrimination complaint if they feel they were treated unfairly for choosing to carry their baby to term.

This bill officially allows states to use money from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program — a government program that helps low-income families — to fund pregnancy centers. These centers must focus on protecting the life of both the mother and the unborn child, and they must offer services and supplies like relationship counseling, pregnancy education, pregnancy testing, diapers, baby clothes, and other support for mothers, fathers, and families.

This bill sets rules for the people who manage employer-sponsored retirement plans. It says that when they make investment decisions, they must focus on financial factors — meaning things that are expected to affect how much money an investment makes or how risky it is. They can only consider non-financial factors in limited situations, like when they can't tell the difference between investments based on finances alone. The bill also requires these managers to act in the best interest of the people in the plan when exercising rights like voting on company matters, and it requires them to give certain notices to plan participants who get to choose their own investments.

This bill provides funding for the 2026 budget year to several federal departments and agencies. It covers three major spending areas: commerce, law enforcement, and science; energy and water projects; and public lands and the environment. Some of the agencies funded include the Department of Justice, NASA, the Department of Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Forest Service, and the Indian Health Service. The bill also includes rules about how the money can and cannot be spent.

This bill provides funding for the 2026 fiscal year to several parts of the federal government. It covers two major spending areas: one related to financial services and general government operations, and another related to national security, the Department of State, and related programs. The money would go to places like the Department of the Treasury, the Executive Office of the President, the court system, the District of Columbia, the Department of State, and programs that handle foreign aid and international security. The bill also includes rules about how the money in this and other spending bills can and cannot be used.

This bill creates a new legal definition of "showerhead" for use in federal water efficiency rules. The new definition is based on one developed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). The bill also requires the Department of Energy (DOE) to update its existing regulations to match this new definition. It follows a presidential executive order from April 2025 that directed DOE to remove its old definition of showerhead, and this bill puts a new definition into law to take its place.

This bill changes the rules about what counts as work time under federal labor law. It says that if an employer offers voluntary training outside of an employee's normal work hours, that training time does not have to be counted as hours worked. This only applies if the employee won't face any negative consequences for skipping the training and doesn't do any actual work for the employer during the training.

This bill cancels energy efficiency rules that the Department of Energy (DOE) created for manufactured (factory-built) homes and takes away DOE's power to make similar rules in the future. Instead, DOE would only be allowed to suggest changes to energy-saving standards for manufactured homes to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Any suggestions DOE makes would have to meet certain requirements set by the bill, including showing that the changes are cost-effective.

This bill changes the rules around what happens when a taxpayer is fighting the IRS over a tax debt through a formal dispute process called a collection due process hearing. It stops the clock on the deadline for claiming a tax refund while the dispute is going on, so taxpayers don't lose their chance to get money back while they're in the middle of a fight with the IRS. It also prevents the IRS from taking overpayments the taxpayer made in other years and putting them toward the disputed tax debt during the hearing process. Finally, it gives the Tax Court more power to handle these cases, including the ability to review the actual amount of tax owed and to keep handling a case even if the IRS drops its collection efforts.

This bill would stop Medicaid (the government health program for people with low incomes) from paying for certain procedures meant to change a young person's body to differ from their biological sex, including specific surgeries, implants, and medications like hormones, for anyone under 18. However, the bill makes exceptions for treatments approved by a parent or guardian that address early puberty, genetic disorders, or chromosomal abnormalities, reverse a previous gender transition procedure, or prevent death or serious harm to the body.

This bill would require the Department of the Interior to remove gray wolves in the lower 48 states (except for the Mexican wolf subspecies) from the endangered and threatened species list under the Endangered Species Act. A similar rule was issued in 2020 but was struck down by a federal court in 2022, which gave gray wolves back their previous protections. This bill would bring that rule back and would prevent courts from being able to review or challenge it.

This bill changes the rules for how the federal government reviews the environmental effects of major projects and actions. It narrows which federal actions require an environmental review — for example, a project wouldn't automatically need a review just because it receives federal money, and projects already reviewed under other environmental laws could skip the federal review. The bill also limits what kinds of environmental effects agencies can consider, saying they can only look at effects directly caused by the project itself and cannot consider effects that are indirect, speculative, or distant in time or location. Additionally, the bill places limits on how people can challenge environmental review decisions in court.

**What This Bill Does:** This bill would make it a federal crime for doctors or other providers to perform surgeries, procedures, or prescribe certain medications (like hormone treatments) to minors if the purpose is to change the minor's body to match a sex different from their biological sex. Anyone who breaks this law could face a fine, up to 10 years in prison, or both. However, the bill would **not** punish the minors themselves — only the people providing the care. There are exceptions for treating individuals born with certain medical conditions, like having both ovarian and testicular tissue. The bill also expands an existing law against female genital mutilation (FGM) on minors by making it a crime for **any** person to help with or consent to FGM, not just a parent or guardian, while again protecting the minor from being arrested or prosecuted.

This bill requires the organization in charge of keeping the nation's electric grid reliable (the North American Electric Reliability Corporation) to check every year whether there will be enough electricity generated to keep the power system running dependably. If that organization finds there isn't enough power generation, it must alert the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which then notifies other government agencies like the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency. After that alert, any federal agency working on new rules that affect power plants must send those rules to FERC for review before making them final. Those agencies cannot finalize their rules unless FERC determines the rules won't seriously hurt the power system's ability to keep the lights on.
