S 4436: Protecting Human Rights and Public Health in Foreign Assistance Act

This bill, known as the Protecting Human Rights and Public Health in Foreign Assistance Act, directs federal agencies to ignore three specific final rules issued by the Department of State. It explicitly prohibits any government department from implementing, enforcing, or creating new policies similar to these existing rules, effectively treating them as if they never existed. The targeted regulations concern protecting life, combating discriminatory equity ideology, and addressing gender ideology within foreign aid programs. By nullifying these rules, the legislation removes the current administrative requirements related to these topics from U.S. foreign assistance activities.

HR 8588: Housing FIRST Act

This bill amends the Fair Credit Reporting Act to restrict how background information is shared with landlords when screening potential tenants. It directly affects individuals with criminal records by prohibiting consumer reporting agencies from including specific data in reports used for rental housing decisions. Key provisions ban the inclusion of arrest records, juvenile adjudications, expunged convictions, and cases resolved through diversion programs, while also preventing the reporting of convictions that have been completed or where the individual is currently on probation or parole. Additionally, the legislation requires landlords who deny housing based on these reports to provide applicants with the specific reasons for the denial within three days. Finally, the bill prevents states from setting their own time limits for how long certain types of criminal information can be excluded from these reports.

HR 8586: Americans First Immigration Act

This bill fundamentally restructures the U.S. immigration system by replacing the current employment-based visa categories with a new points-based program that prioritizes applicants with high salaries, advanced degrees, English proficiency, and U.S. military service. Under this new system, employers must attest that they have attempted to hire qualified American workers first and guarantee that hiring an immigrant will not result in layoffs of existing U.S. employees. Additionally, the bill eliminates the Diversity Lottery program, restricts certain family sponsorship categories for citizens, and imposes conditional permanent resident status on new immigrants who must prove they are not receiving public benefits and remain employed within two years. The legislation also mandates that undocumented students pay out-of-state tuition rates at colleges and requires immigrants to sign statements affirming their loyalty to U.S. constitutional principles and opposition to specific forms of persecution.

HR 8584: Indo-Pacific Space Partnership Act of 2026

This bill directs the Commander of the United States Space Command to submit a feasibility report to Congress within one year regarding the potential expansion of the Multinational Force Operation Olympic Defender to include allies like Japan and South Korea. The report must detail current efforts, identify necessary policy or funding changes for these nations to join, and assess how such an expansion would impact U.S. national security interests. Additionally, the legislation requires an evaluation of whether inviting these countries to the force is practical and aligns with American national interests, while also outlining any new resources needed from government branches to facilitate this move.

HR 8568: Lowering Utility Bills Act

This bill, known as the Lowering Utility Bills Act, aims to reduce electricity and natural gas costs by regulating how utility companies calculate their profits and what expenses they can pass on to customers. It requires transmission providers and investor-owned utilities to determine a reasonable profit range based on historical stock market returns from academics, large financial institutions, and major global banks, then generally limits their authorized profit to the lowest point in that range. Additionally, the legislation bans utilities from recovering specific costs in customer rates, including lobbying fees, political contributions, executive travel, and entertainment expenses. The bill also mandates that utilities prioritize lower-cost grid technologies in their planning and requires them to publicly justify any decision to use a higher profit rate than the standard minimum.

HR 8567: UNLEADED Act

The UNLEADED Act directs the Federal Aviation Administration to create an education program for general aviation pilots, flight schools, and other aviation professionals regarding new unleaded aviation gasoline. This program will provide information on fuel compatibility, safety, purchasing availability, and any federal incentives, while also establishing a public tracking system for fuel authorization status. Additionally, the bill requires the FAA to coordinate annual training for fixed-base operators to ensure staff understand the differences between fuel types and their impact on aircraft. The initiative is set to run until December 31, 2036, with the FAA required to report progress to Congress on the program's implementation and fuel sales data.

SJRES 99: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services relating to "Removal of the Automatic Extension of Employment Authorization Documents".

This joint resolution (SJRES 99) seeks congressional disapproval of a specific U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) rule that removed automatic extensions for Employment Authorization Documents (EADs). The rule, published in the Federal Register on October 30, 2025, ended the prior practice of automatically extending work permits for certain immigrants while their renewal applications were pending. If approved, this resolution would block the rule from taking effect, restoring the automatic extension process for EAD holders. The policy change directly affects non-citizens in the U.S. who hold EADs and are waiting for renewal processing, preventing potential gaps in work authorization.
