This bill creates a new funding stream for medium-sized cities with populations between 200,000 and 999,999 that operate public transit systems. It directs 1.5 percent of unallocated federal transit funds to these eligible areas based on how well their performance matches that of larger cities with over 1 million residents. To qualify, a city must meet or exceed the national average in at least one specific metric, such as passenger miles per vehicle or ridership per capita. The Department of Transportation will use existing data to calculate these rankings and distribute the money accordingly.
The Bereaved Parents Rights Act requires hospitals and birth centers to notify parents of miscarriages or stillbirths about their options for burial, cremation, or hospital disposal. This notification must occur within six hours of the event or the parent's discharge, using a standardized form provided by the government. If parents choose burial or cremation within 72 hours, the facility must follow the same state laws that apply to other fetal deaths. The bill also allows parents to sue in federal court if these notification requirements are not met.
The EV Charging Accessibility Act directs the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board to finalize a proposed rule ensuring electric vehicle charging stations are accessible to people with disabilities. This rule establishes minimum standards and guidelines for station design, which the Departments of Transportation and Justice must then adopt into federal regulations within 180 days. If the Board fails to complete the rule by the deadline, the proposed guidelines automatically become final without further action. The law primarily affects the government agencies responsible for setting and enforcing accessibility standards for public charging infrastructure.
The GUIDANCE Act of 2026 restores 23 specific rules and policies previously withdrawn by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection.

The bill effectively reverses recent administrative actions, ensuring that regulations covering medical debt, overdraft fees, and whistleblower protections remain in force.

Additionally, the bill requires the Secretary to submit annual reports to Congress detailing the loans issued, their recipients, and an assessment of their impact on national security.
This bill designates the U.S. Chancery building in Pristina, Kosovo, as the "Eliot L. Engel Building" to honor a specific individual. It requires all future legal documents, maps, and official records to use this new name instead of the current designation. The change is purely symbolic and does not alter the building's function or the operations of the U.S. government in Kosovo.
This joint resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran that lack explicit congressional authorization, asserting Congress's constitutional war-declaring power. The measure applies only to ongoing military engagements within or against Iran and does not restrict defensive actions against attacks on the United States or its personnel. It permits continued intelligence gathering and defensive support for partner nations attacked by Iran since late February 2026, while requiring a formal declaration of war or specific statutory authorization for any future offensive military operations.
This House resolution condemns the ongoing civil war in Sudan and calls for an end to external support provided to the warring parties, the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces.

The bill also highlights the severe humanitarian crisis affecting millions of people and demands that aid workers be granted safe, unrestricted access to deliver essential supplies. Additionally, it calls on the international community to support post-conflict reconstruction and establish a justice mechanism to hold perpetrators of war crimes accountable.
This bill authorizes the President to provide International Military Education and Training assistance to Greece to strengthen defense cooperation between the two nations. The program will fund training for future military leaders, improve understanding between the U.S. and Greek armed forces, and enhance their ability to work together in joint operations. It allocates $1.8 million annually for each of the fiscal years 2027 through 2031 to support these educational and partnership initiatives. The legislation also emphasizes professional military education, civilian oversight of the military, and human rights protections within Greece's armed forces.
HRES 64 is a non-binding House resolution affirming the U.S.-South Korea alliance.

The resolution formally supports strengthening security, economic, and cultural ties between the two nations and notes the 2025 anniversary of Korean liberation. It does not create new laws or funding, but serves as a symbolic statement of congressional support for the alliance.
