The Concrete Pump Tax Fairness Act introduces a new mileage-based fee for owners of mobile concrete boom pump vehicles that travel within the United States. This tax charges $0.05 per mile for vehicles weighing 60,000 pounds or less and $0.07 per mile for heavier vehicles, with payments due quarterly. The bill requires the government to create a system that uses existing vehicle technology to track mileage while protecting operator privacy and minimizing administrative burdens. Additionally, the law allows these vehicles to use existing fuel tax credits to offset the new fee and excludes them from certain existing highway use requirements. All collected fees will be deposited into the Highway Trust Fund to support road infrastructure.
The Primary and Behavioral Health Care Access Act of 2026 requires group health plans to cover three primary care visits and three behavioral health care visits per year without charging copayments, deductibles, or coinsurance. This mandate applies to plans governed by ERISA, the Public Health Service Act, and the Internal Revenue Code, affecting employees, retirees, and individuals with employer-sponsored or individual health insurance. The bill defines primary care visits as in-person appointments with designated providers like general practitioners or nurse practitioners, while behavioral health visits include services from a wider range of specialists such as psychologists and social workers. Additionally, the law ensures that these specific visits are subject to the same reimbursement rates and treatment limitations as any other covered medical service. These provisions would take effect for plan years beginning two years after the bill is enacted.
This joint resolution seeks to reject a specific rule issued by the Department of Health and Human Services regarding the Child Care and Development Fund. By invoking a statutory process, the bill aims to prevent the rule from taking effect, which would stop the Department from implementing the proposed changes to child care funding flexibility. The measure directly impacts the administration of federal child care assistance programs and affects families and organizations relying on the CCDF. If passed, the original regulations published in May 2026 would be nullified and have no legal force.
The American Innovation and Choice Online Act targets large online platforms that dominate the U.S. market by prohibiting them from unfairly favoring their own products, restricting competitors' access to platform features, or using competitor data to compete against them. Specifically, the bill defines "systemically important platforms" as those with over $175 billion in annual revenue and at least 34 percent of U.S. users or households, placing them under strict rules against practices like tying services, manipulating search rankings, or forcing users to stay on the platform. The Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice are authorized to enforce these rules through civil penalties and injunctions, with a requirement that legal cases against these major platforms be resolved within one year. Additionally, the law includes specific exemptions to protect national security interests and intellectual property rights, ensuring that platforms are not required to share trade secrets or assist foreign adversaries.
This bill, titled the Stop the SPLC Act of 2026, would remove the tax-exempt status of the Southern Poverty Law Center. By revoking its classification under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, the legislation would require the organization to pay federal taxes on its income and benefits. The change applies to all taxable years occurring after the bill is enacted.
This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for the Department of State to prevent members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from infiltrating the Iranian National Football Delegation during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. It also urges the State Department to limit the delegation's time in the United States to only what is necessary for playing scheduled matches. As a non-binding measure of congressional sentiment, the bill does not create new laws or enforceable rules but instead signals official backing for existing security protocols. The text frames these actions as necessary national security steps given the IRGC's designation as a foreign terrorist organization and its history of using sports events for intelligence gathering.
This resolution introduces articles of impeachment against U.S. District Court Judge Eleanor Louise Ross, targeting her for three specific allegations of misconduct. The first article charges her with engaging in an undisclosed extramarital affair with a law enforcement officer while on the job, which created a conflict of interest and violated judicial conduct codes. The second article accuses her of attending a partisan political event sponsored by a district attorney's campaign and admitting to drinking alcohol before presiding over a criminal case. The third article alleges that she knowingly made false statements to federal judges during an investigation into her behavior, thereby obstructing an official proceeding and violating federal law.
The No Toxic Chemicals in Food Packaging Act of 2026 prohibits the use of specific harmful substances, such as PFAS, certain phthalates, and bisphenols, in materials that come into contact with food. This law directly affects manufacturers and regulators by amending federal statutes to classify these chemicals as unsafe and requiring the FDA to consider potential risks to vulnerable groups, including children and pregnant women, when evaluating alternative substances. The bill sets a minimum national standard while explicitly allowing states to enforce stricter regulations without fear of federal preemption. These restrictions will not take effect until two years after the law is enacted to provide time for industry adjustments.
The No Toxic Chemicals in Food Packaging Act of 2026 prohibits the use of specific chemicals, including PFAS, certain phthalates, and bisphenols, in materials that come into contact with food. This law directly affects manufacturers and distributors of food packaging by requiring the FDA to consider potential health risks to vulnerable populations, such as children and pregnant women, when evaluating alternative substances. While the federal restrictions do not take effect for two years after enactment, the bill explicitly preserves the right of states and local governments to pass stricter regulations on food additives.
The Magnets Value Chain Support Act of 2026 establishes a series of tax credits to encourage the production of magnets and related materials within the United States and to promote their use in critical industries. This legislation directly affects manufacturers of permanent magnets, magnet metals, and rare earth oxides, as well as companies that incorporate these materials into motors, generators, robotics, and defense systems. The bill creates three specific production credits that provide financial incentives based on the percentage of domestic content and the performance level of the magnets produced, while also offering a separate credit for businesses purchasing high-performance magnets made in the United States. To qualify for these benefits, producers must ensure that their materials are not sourced from prohibited foreign entities and must maintain certain domestic production capacities. The act includes strict reporting requirements to track supply chain origins and limits the credits to specific strategic applications, excluding low-power consumer goods.
This bill, known as the Double the Wage for Overtime Act of 2026, aims to change how overtime pay is calculated for employees covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act. It directly affects workers who currently earn less than $23,660 annually, as it would require employers to pay them two times their regular hourly rate instead of one and a half times for hours worked beyond 40 in a week. The law takes effect 180 days after it is signed, ensuring a transition period before the new pay requirements begin. By raising the overtime multiplier, the legislation seeks to increase earnings for hourly workers who work extra hours.
The TSP Modernization Act allows individuals to electronically transfer money from their Thrift Savings Fund accounts to qualified retirement plans at brokerage firms, a change that takes effect one year after the law is passed. To initiate this transfer, account holders must provide the necessary information to the Federal Retirement Thrith Investment Board. Additionally, the bill requires the board to submit a report to Congress one year after enactment detailing how the electronic transfer process was implemented.
