HJRES 136: Amending title 36, United States Code, to direct the President to issue an annual proclamation establishing Democracy Day.

HJRES 136 would require the President to issue an annual proclamation designating a day as "Democracy Day" each year. The proclamation must call on state and local governments, as well as educational authorities, to observe the day through programs and activities promoting civic engagement. The bill does not specify which date must be designated, leaving that decision to the President annually. This is a procedural measure focused on directing an existing executive action to foster democratic awareness, without creating new laws or altering existing policies.

S 3580: A bill to require the Secretary of Agriculture to make cost-share grants for retrofitting agricultural tractors with rollover protection structures, and for other purposes.

This bill requires the U.S. Department of Agriculture to provide cost-share grants covering 70% of the expenses for farmers and eligible schools to retrofit agricultural tractors with rollover protection structures (ROPS) - safety cages that prevent injury if a tractor flips. It directly affects agricultural producers and specific educational institutions, including vocational schools, colleges with agricultural programs, and secondary schools offering agricultural training. The grants cover costs for purchasing, transporting, and installing ROPS that meet SAE safety standards and include seatbelts, with higher coverage if costs exceed $500. Funding of $725,000 annually from 2027-2031 will support these grants, administered through a designated program manager.

HR 6937: End H-1B Now Act

This bill would gradually phase out the H-1B visa program, reducing annual caps from 10,000 in fiscal year 2026 to zero by 2035. It eliminates H-1B eligibility for fashion models, requires applicants to maintain foreign residence, and restricts specialty occupation visas to only physicians, surgeons, and nurses. Additionally, the bill prohibits Medicare funding for medical residency programs training foreign nationals. These changes directly affect foreign workers seeking H-1B visas, employers who sponsor them, and healthcare training programs receiving federal funding.

HR 6936: ___ Act

HR 6936 would require voters to present both government-issued photo identification (like a driver's license) and proof of U.S. citizenship (such as a passport, birth certificate, or military record) to vote in federal elections, including for president and Congress. This applies to all voters casting ballots in person or by mail for federal offices, with provisional ballots allowed if documentation is missing but only counted if citizenship is verified. Acceptable citizenship proofs include certified birth certificates, military records, or naturalization documents. The requirement would take effect for the 2026 general election and all subsequent federal elections.

HR 4611: EACH Act of 2025

HR 4611 (EACH Act of 2025) requires all federally funded health programs - including Medicaid, Medicare, military health plans, and the Indian Health Service - to cover abortion services without restrictions, repealing the Hyde Amendment's long-standing ban on federal funding for most abortions. This directly affects millions of people enrolled in these programs, particularly low-income women, women of color (including 25% of Black women and 22% of Hispanic women on Medicaid), and young people. The bill mandates coverage in all federally administered health plans and prohibits state or private insurers from restricting abortion coverage in health insurance. It aims to eliminate current federal and state barriers that deny abortion access to people who rely on government health programs.

The stamp must be issued annually by Veterans Day, with all sales revenue transferred to the Department of Veterans Affairs for medical services. The bill specifies that the stamp design is determined by the Postal Service and that there is no limit on how many can be sold, ensuring broad public participation in funding veterans' health care.

HR 1404: CHAMPVA Children’s Care Protection Act of 2025

HR 472: Restore VA Accountability Act of 2025

HR 472, the Restore VA Accountability Act of 2025, creates new disciplinary procedures for VA supervisors and management officials. It requires the VA Secretary to consider specific factors like the seriousness of misconduct and the employee's role when deciding on removal, demotion, or suspension, and limits the entire disciplinary process to 15 business days. The bill prevents courts from reviewing penalty amounts but allows review of whether procedures were followed correctly. It also strengthens whistleblower protections by requiring Special Counsel approval before disciplining employees who report misconduct, affecting VA supervisors and management officials but excluding senior executives and political appointees.

It honors those who lost their lives or were injured in the attack, recognizes the heroic actions of military personnel, law enforcement, and civilians who responded, and notes existing awards they received (including Purple Hearts and Navy medals).

HRES 959: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that illicit fentanyl-related substances are a weapon of mass destruction and should be classified as such, and recognizing President Trump's efforts to mitigate illicit narcotics from entering the United States through such actions as signing an Executive Order "Designating Fentanyl as a Weapon of Mass Destruction" and declaring the crisis caused by the rise of fentanyl a national health emergency.

This resolution expresses the House's view that illicit fentanyl-related substances should be classified as a weapon of mass destruction and permanently placed in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act. It recommends the President take action to reclassify fentanyl under these designations, citing the severe public health impact of the opioid crisis. The resolution also recognizes former President Trump's 2018 Executive Order designating fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction and his declaration of the fentanyl crisis as a national health emergency. As a symbolic resolution, it does not change current law or enforcement practices.
