HR 8734: To express the Sense of Congress with respect to safety of medication abortion and Federal preemption of State restrictions on dispensing medication abortion, and for other purposes.

This bill expresses the sense of Congress that medication abortion is a safe medical treatment approved by federal regulators. It asserts that this federal approval overrides any state laws requiring the procedure to be dispensed in person by a healthcare provider. Additionally, the bill states that federal approval preempts state restrictions on prescribing or dispensing medication abortion through telehealth. Essentially, the legislation argues that states cannot enforce rules limiting how medication abortion is delivered if those rules conflict with the federal approval process.

HR 8730: Connected Vehicle Security Act of 2026

The Connected Vehicle Security Act of 2026 restricts the importation, sale, and manufacture of vehicles and related technology from specific countries, including China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, to address national security concerns. The law defines prohibited items as connected vehicles, their software, and hardware components and sets different effective dates, with vehicle bans starting in 2027 and hardware restrictions beginning in 2030. A government official can grant exceptions for specific items after reviewing security risks and notifying Congress, while the agency must publish annual reports on enforcement actions and compliance.

HR 8727: No Illegal Captivity and Extensions Act of 2026

The No Illegal Captivity and Extensions Act of 2026 prohibits the Department of Homeland Security from issuing or enforcing immigration detainers, which are requests for local law enforcement to hold individuals beyond their scheduled release. This change directly affects federal immigration authorities and local police departments by removing the legal basis for holding people based solely on immigration status. The bill achieves this by amending the Immigration and Nationality Act to strike specific detention provisions and adding a general ban on detainers, including those used through agreements with other government agencies. Consequently, local law enforcement agencies would no longer be legally required to detain individuals after their criminal sentences are completed if the federal government requests it.

HR 8690: Pregnant Women in Custody Act

The Pregnant Women in Custody Act establishes new federal standards to protect the health and rights of pregnant women held in Bureau of Prisons facilities, immigration detention centers, and refugee shelters. It mandates comprehensive medical care, including mandatory pregnancy testing, access to contraception, and specialized dietary and housing accommodations tailored to pregnancy needs. A central provision prohibits the use of restrictive housing and physical restraints during pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum recovery period, with limited exceptions only for immediate safety threats. The legislation also requires facilities to provide nursery programs allowing mothers and infants to remain together, offers education on parental rights, and mandates regular reporting on health outcomes and the use of restrictive measures.

HJRES 179: Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to the withdrawal of the rule relating to "Consumer Financial Protection Circular 2022-04: Insufficient Data Protection or Security for Sensitive Consumer Information".

This joint resolution seeks to formally disapprove a rule from the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection that would have removed an earlier regulation about data security. The bill directly affects financial institutions by aiming to keep in place the 2022 requirement for stronger protection of sensitive consumer information. If passed, the rule attempting to withdraw the data security standards would have no legal effect, meaning the original data protection rules would remain active.
