S 4487: Veterans’ Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2026

Veterans' Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2026 This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to increase the amounts payable for wartime disability compensation, additional compensation for dependents, the clothing allowance for certain disabled veterans, and dependency and indemnity compensation for surviving spouses and children. Specifically, the VA must increase the amounts by the same percentage as the cost-of-living increase in benefits for Social Security recipients that is effective on December 1, 2026.

The VA is authorized to make a similar adjustment to the rates of disability compensation payable to persons who have not received compensation for service-connected disability or death.

HR 8699: Safe Transit for All Act of 2026

The Safe Transit for All Act of 2026 requires large public transit agencies in urban areas with over 200,000 people to collect and publish data on street harassment experienced by passengers. This data collection includes details about the type of harassment, the demographics of those affected, and how these incidents impact ridership, while also establishing reporting mechanisms and response protocols. The bill defines street harassment as intimidating or threatening words, gestures, or actions directed at individuals based on protected characteristics such as race, age, or disability.

HR 8691: Nursing is a Professional Degree Act

This bill, titled the Nursing is a Professional Degree Act, updates federal definitions to classify nursing degrees as professional degrees.

The legislation amends the Higher Education Act to explicitly list nursing degrees, such as the Master of Science in Nursing and Doctor of Nursing Practice, alongside other advanced fields like medicine and law.

HR 8680: Armed Forces Carry Rights Protection Act of 2026

The Armed Forces Carry Rights Protection Act of 2026 modifies federal law to make it easier for military personnel to carry personal firearms on military bases when they are not on duty. Under this bill, commanders would face a legal presumption in favor of approving such requests, shifting the default stance toward allowing carry rather than restricting it. If a commander does deny a request, the law requires them to provide a written explanation that is specific to the individual and based on objective criteria. This change directly affects active-duty service members and the commanders who evaluate their requests for firearm authorization on installation.

HR 8672: To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow a deduction for loan interest payments made with respect to certain vehicles.

This bill proposes to allow taxpayers to deduct interest payments on loans used to purchase certain vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, and recreational vehicles. The legislation defines eligible vehicles as those with fewer than 14,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating or those designed for temporary living quarters like campers and trailers. These tax benefits would only apply to debts incurred after December 31, 2025, expanding the current rules that previously excluded most vehicle loans from interest deductions.

HR 8667: MISSION Rx Act

The MISSION Rx Act ensures that military beneficiaries and veterans pay no more for specific negotiated drugs than Medicare Part D beneficiaries do. It achieves this by capping the out-of-pocket costs for TRICARE-covered servicemembers and copayments for veterans at the same levels established under the federal drug price negotiation program. Additionally, the bill requires federal agencies to limit the maximum prices they agree to pay pharmaceutical manufacturers for these same negotiated drugs. These changes apply to existing contracts and new agreements involving drugs selected for federal price negotiation.
