HR 7188: MOLD Act

The MOLD Act (HR 7188) establishes uniform health and safety standards for military housing managed by private contractors, directly affecting approximately 700,000 service members and their families living in privatized housing across 78 developments. It requires the Defense Secretary to set enforceable limits on indoor humidity (below 50%), mandate third-party inspections after tenant complaints or unit turnover, and hold contractors fully responsible for mold remediation, relocation costs, and property damage. The bill also mandates public reporting of complaints, inspection results, and remediation timelines, and requires contractors to use certified professionals for mold assessments. These provisions aim to reduce mold-related health risks and improve accountability in privatized military housing.

HR 7183: Youth Financial Learning Act

HR 7183, the Youth Financial Learning Act, provides federal grants to state education agencies to integrate financial literacy education into public elementary and secondary schools. It directly affects schools by funding programs teaching consumer finance, credit, student loans, and financial aid through school-based curriculum, after-school partnerships with community organizations, and teacher training. Key provisions require states to provide 25% matching funds, prioritize high-need schools, ensure geographic diversity in program access, and use funds to supplement - not replace - existing education resources. The grants, available for up to four years, aim to enhance students' practical financial knowledge as part of a well-rounded education.

HR 7192: Hands Off Greenland Act

The Hands Off Greenland Act would prevent the U.S. President from deploying American military forces to Greenland without an explicit invitation from Denmark. It would also prohibit using federal funds for such deployments, except when Denmark formally requests U.S. military presence. This law directly restricts the executive branch's authority over military deployments in Greenland and requires coordination with Denmark, the country that governs Greenland as an autonomous territory. The bill applies to all U.S. military personnel and funding related to Greenland, ensuring no unilateral U.S. military actions without Danish consent.

HR 7173: Follow the Science Act

HR 7173, the Follow the Science Act, restricts political appointees from influencing National Institutes of Health (NIH) operations and grant decisions. It prohibits most political appointees (defined broadly as those in policy-making roles) from being employed by NIH or participating in grant reviews, funding selections, or policy implementation. The bill requires the NIH Director to report on past political appointee involvement in these activities to Congress within 30 days of enactment. These changes aim to ensure NIH decisions are based on scientific merit rather than political influence, with limited exceptions for other federal agencies.

HR 7171: Fair Legal Access Grants Act

HR 7171, the Fair Legal Access Grants Act, provides federal grants to states, local governments, and Tribal governments to help individuals seeking extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs) access legal resources. The bill authorizes $50 million annually from 2028 to 2034 to fund legal representation, multilingual legal resource centers, and training for legal and law enforcement staff on ERPO processes. It directly affects people eligible to petition for ERPOs - court orders designed to temporarily restrict firearm access when someone poses a risk of harm to themselves or others. The grants aim to ensure petitioners receive counsel, translation services, and accurate information about the ERPO process, without interfering with state court jurisdiction over such cases.

This bill requires the Department of Justice and Health and Human Services to translate key gun violence prevention materials - including extreme risk protection orders and safe storage guides - into the 10 most common non-English languages in the U.S. (like Mandarin, Spanish, and Korean) for limited English proficient populations. It mandates that community-based organizations review translations for cultural appropriateness before publication and prioritizes grant applications that include outreach plans for these communities. The bill also directs DOJ and HHS to create public awareness campaigns using in-language, culturally tailored messaging to promote gun violence prevention strategies. These provisions apply directly to federally funded programs and services aimed at reducing firearm-related harm.

HR 7189: PrEP Access Act

The PrEP Access Act expands Medicare Part B coverage to include pharmacist-provided HIV prevention services, such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) counseling, medication administration, and related testing. It directly affects Medicare beneficiaries (primarily seniors) and pharmacists, allowing pharmacists to bill Medicare for these services under state law. Key provisions set payment at 80% of the lesser of actual charges or 85% of physician rates, and prohibit balance billing for these services. The policy change takes effect January 1, 2027, making PrEP more accessible through pharmacy settings.

HR 7162: To amend title 40, United States Code, to permit commercial filmmaking and photography on the United States Capitol grounds, and for other purposes.

HR 7162 amends federal law to allow commercial filmmaking and photography on U.S. Capitol grounds (excluding Capitol Buildings) under specific conditions. The Capitol Police Chief may issue permits for these activities only when Congress is not in session, requiring applicants to pay fees similar to those previously collected by the National Park Service in Union Square. Fees collected must be transferred to the Capitol Trust Account. This bill directly affects filmmakers and photographers seeking to use Capitol grounds for commercial work, establishing a fee structure and operational framework modeled on prior Union Square regulations.

It requires TAP to provide specific information on suicide risk factors (including depression, homelessness, and relationship strain), treatment options for conditions like PTSD and substance abuse, and the impact of losing social support systems. The Solid Start Program must now assist veterans in enrolling in VA healthcare and educate them about available mental health resources. The Secretaries of Defense and Veterans Affairs must jointly report to Congress within one year on the materials developed under these changes.

HR 7161: No Private Bounty Hunters for Immigration Enforcement Act

HR 7161, the "No Private Bounty Hunters for Immigration Enforcement Act," prohibits the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from using private contractors for immigration enforcement tasks like tracking individuals (skip tracing), surveillance, or location verification. It bans DHS from entering new contracts for these purposes after enactment, terminates existing contracts allowing them, and amends others to prohibit them. The bill also blocks federal funds from paying private entities per-person or via bonuses for locating individuals under immigration detainers, except for limited government-supervised data tools. DHS must audit all relevant contracts within 30 days of the bill's enactment to ensure compliance.

It provides $25 million annually (2026-2031) for technical assistance to help these groups remove barriers to developing housing for low-income households, including those at risk of homelessness, veterans, and people with disabilities. Additionally, it creates $50 million annually in competitive challenge grants for local governments and states to adopt policies removing barriers and produce housing for households earning below 60% of area median income, with priority for well-resourced neighborhoods.
