HCONRES 105: Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.

This concurrent resolution directs the President to end the use of U.S. Armed Forces in hostilities against Iran unless Congress explicitly authorizes a new war or military force. The measure requires the removal of troops engaged in combat or occupation roles but allows forces to remain for defensive purposes or self-protection. Additionally, the bill clarifies that ending active hostilities does not stop intelligence collection, analysis, or sharing with allies, nor does it serve as a new authorization for military action.

HJRES 189: Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Education relating to "Reimagining and Improving Student Education-Federal Student Loan Program Final Regulations".

This joint resolution seeks to officially reject a final rule issued by the Department of Education regarding federal student loan programs. If passed, the measure would prevent the new regulations from taking effect, leaving the previous rules in place. The bill directly impacts borrowers, lenders, and the Department of Education by nullifying the specific changes outlined in the "Reimagining and Improving Student Education" proposal. It is a procedural action that uses the Congressional Review Act to disapprove the agency's policy without altering the underlying law.

HRES 1315: Expressing support for the designation of May 2026 as "Renewable Fuels Month" to recognize the important role that renewable fuels play in lowering fuel prices for consumers, lessening reliance on foreign adversaries, supporting rural communities, and reducing carbon impacts.

This bill is a non-binding resolution that expresses support for designating May 2026 as 'Renewable Fuels Month.' It aims to highlight the economic and environmental benefits of renewable fuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel, which are used in vehicles and aviation. The resolution recognizes how these fuels help lower consumer prices, create jobs in rural areas, reduce reliance on foreign oil, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Because this is a symbolic gesture rather than a law with enforceable rules, it does not change any existing policies or regulations.

HRES 1310: Expressing support for continued efforts to safeguard Medicare, Medicaid, and other Federal health care programs from fraud, waste, abuse, and improper payments through strengthened program integrity measures, enhanced oversight, and coordinated enforcement actions, and recognizing the work of the Trump administration and congressional Republicans to investigate and prosecute fraud and protect taxpayer dollars and preserve the long-term sustainability of the Nation's health care safety net.

This resolution expresses support for the Trump administration's efforts to combat fraud, waste, and abuse in Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal health care programs. It highlights specific actions taken, such as using advanced technology to detect fraud, suspending billions of dollars in suspected fraudulent payments, and coordinating with law enforcement to prosecute offenders. The document also acknowledges the creation of a new task force designed to lead a governmentwide strategy against fraud in federal benefit programs. Ultimately, the bill serves as a formal recognition of these initiatives rather than introducing new laws or policy changes.

HR 9008: Worker Rights and Support Act

The Worker Rights and Support Act amends the Fair Labor Standards Act to require employers to provide specific break times for employees, directly affecting workers covered under federal wage and hour laws. Under the new rules, employees must receive at least a 30-minute meal break for every six hours worked, along with a 10-minute break or time to use a restroom for every four hours, and up to 20-minute breaks for medical needs. While meal breaks can be unpaid if the employee is fully relieved of work, any break where the employee remains on duty or cannot leave the site must be paid at a rate of at least one and a half times their regular wage. The bill also allows employees to voluntarily waive meal breaks but prohibits employers from forcing them to do so, and it ensures that existing collective bargaining agreements or state laws offering better protections remain in effect.

HR 8996: Rental Housing Investment Act

The Rental Housing Investment Act provides tax incentives to encourage the development of new long-term residential rental properties in the United States. It allows developers to take an accelerated depreciation deduction of up to $150,000 per unit for buildings containing at least two dwelling units, with an increased limit of $250,000 per unit for projects designated as affordable housing. To ensure these properties remain available for rent, the bill includes rules that require the buildings to be used for rental purposes for at least 10 years, or 15 years for affordable housing, before the tax benefits are recaptured. These changes apply to properties placed in service after a 12-month delay following the law's enactment.

HR 8982: Assuring the Future of Tibet Act of 2026

This bill, titled the Assuring the Future of Tibet Act of 2026, expresses the sense of Congress that the Tibetan people should be recognized as a distinct group with rights to self-determination and cultural preservation. It formally acknowledges the Central Tibetan Administration as the legitimate representative of Tibetans and asserts that the Gaden Phodrang Trust holds the sole authority to recognize future Dalai Lamas. To support these positions, the legislation directs the President and Secretary of State to advocate for the Central Tibetan Administration's observer status at the United Nations and to extend appropriate diplomatic courtesies to its leaders during visits to the United States. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Secretary of State lead efforts to engage with Tibetan officials at senior levels and requires annual reports to Congress on the implementation of these diplomatic and advocacy measures.

HR 8979: Elementary and Secondary School Counseling Act

This bill creates a new funding program to hire more school counselors, psychologists, and social workers at schools with high numbers of low-income students. It provides federal grants to states, which then distribute money to local school districts to help them meet recommended staffing ratios of 250 students per counselor and 500 students per psychologist. To receive these funds, states must contribute matching money and submit detailed plans showing how they will improve student-to-provider ratios in their highest-need schools. The program is designed to address rising mental health issues among youth by increasing access to professional support directly within the school environment.
