The SLASH Prices Act requires businesses that sell goods or services to clearly inform customers when prices are set by an algorithm using their personal data. Companies must display this notice prominently next to the price and provide an easy way for consumers to opt out of personalized pricing without facing discrimination or higher rates. The law exempts certain sectors like insurance and credit, as well as dynamic pricing based on real-time market conditions or delivery distance, and gives the Federal Trade Commission authority to enforce these rules.
The Protect Every Preschooler Act of 2026 expands the federal Gun Free School Zones Act to include early childhood education programs and preschools. This change directly affects firearm regulations by prohibiting the possession of guns in these specific educational settings, which were previously not explicitly covered under the law. The bill achieves this by amending the United States Code to add definitions for early childhood education programs and preschools to the list of protected areas. Consequently, individuals attempting to carry firearms into these locations would be subject to federal penalties under the existing gun-free zone provisions.
This bill allows veterans diagnosed with Parkinson's disease or similar movement disorders to access boxing-based exercise classes as part of their medical treatment. Under the new provisions, eligible veterans enrolled in the VA health care system can receive these classes directly at a VA facility or get reimbursement to attend them at a non-VA location. The policy change takes effect 180 days after the bill is enacted, providing a specific therapeutic option for managing the symptoms of these neurological conditions.
S 1782, the Charlotte Woodward Organ Transplant Discrimination Prevention Act, prohibits hospitals and transplant centers from denying organ transplants or related services solely because of a person’s disability. It requires these covered entities to make reasonable modifications to policies - such as considering a patient’s support network or providing communication aids - to ensure access for qualified individuals with disabilities who meet medical eligibility. The bill allows exceptions only if a physician determines a disability is medically significant to the transplant, but does not permit denial based on inability to independently manage care with available support. This applies to all stages, including evaluation, listing, and post-transplant care, while ensuring it doesn’t override stronger protections under existing disability laws like the ADA.
This joint resolution expresses Congress's disapproval of a specific federal rule issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services regarding the Affordable Care Act and the Basic Health Program for 2027. If passed, the measure would legally nullify the rule, preventing it from taking effect. The bill directly impacts the administration of healthcare benefits and payment parameters for the upcoming year by rejecting the proposed guidelines.
This resolution expresses the House's sense that parents need clear and accurate information about video content to make informed decisions for their children. It calls on the Federal Communications Commission to modernize the existing ratings system to cover all video platforms, including streaming services, and to ensure content descriptions are neutral and specific. The bill also urges the creation of an oversight body that includes parents and child advocates alongside industry representatives to increase transparency in how ratings are assigned. Ultimately, it seeks to improve parental guidance tools and public awareness without mandating specific changes to current laws.
This resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States should recognize and encourage acts of kindness to foster community and build social resilience. It highlights the belief that kindness strengthens families, neighborhoods, and the nation by connecting people across differences and promoting a healthier society. The bill does not create new laws or funding but serves as a symbolic statement affirming the value of everyday compassionate actions.
This resolution expresses support for World Sickle Cell Awareness Day to raise public awareness about sickle cell disease and the ongoing need for research, early screening, and effective treatments. It highlights the importance of equitable access to new therapies, such as gene editing and stem cell transplants, and calls on federal agencies to remove barriers preventing vulnerable patients from receiving these innovative cures. The bill also urges the creation of an interagency group to coordinate policies that address healthcare disparities and improve outcomes for individuals affected by sickle cell disease globally.
The Prioritizing American Talent Act prevents the Department of Homeland Security from using funds to process work permits for foreign students and special immigrants unless Congress explicitly authorizes their employment. This restriction applies specifically to individuals classified under sections 101(a)(15)(F) and (M) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, effectively halting the approval of their employment authorization applications. Additionally, the bill requires the rescission of any unspent fees collected for processing these specific applications that are not backed by congressional authorization. The Department of Homeland Security must determine and withdraw these funds within 30 days of the law's enactment.
The Wildland Firefighter Hazard Pay Correction Act expands hazard pay eligibility to include firefighters who conduct prescribed burns and smokejumpers performing training or operational parachute jumps. This legislation amends federal law to equate the pay differential for these specific duties with the rate paid for fighting forest and range fires on the fireline. The Office of Personnel Management is required to issue regulations within 90 days to implement these changes, which will apply to pay periods beginning after that deadline or after the regulations are finalized.
The Protect Local Funding Act prohibits federal agencies from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing a specific proposed rule regarding federal financial assistance scheduled for publication in May 2026. This legislation directly affects the Office of Management and Budget and other federal agencies by legally blocking them from acting on that particular regulation. By preventing the enforcement of this rule, the bill aims to stop a specific administrative action that could impact how federal funds are distributed. The measure does not alter existing funding programs but rather serves as a procedural barrier to a future regulatory change.
The GHOSTRUCK Act modifies federal regulations to allow motor carriers to add edits or annotations to electronic logging device records under specific conditions. This change permits employees or authorized agents to make these adjustments only if they are physically located in North America and the driver subsequently approves the changes. The bill directly affects trucking companies and drivers by establishing new rules for how digital driving logs can be modified after the fact.
