HR 9750: Public Service Retirement Tax Relief Act of 2026

The Public Service Retirement Tax Relief Act of 2026 limits the federal income tax that individuals receiving state or local government pensions must pay. Starting in 2026, the total tax on these pensions cannot exceed $10,000 for single filers or $20,000 for married couples filing jointly. This cap is calculated by first determining the tax owed on all income except the pension, then adding the maximum allowable pension tax amount to that figure. The bill directly affects public servants who rely on pensions from state or local governments for their retirement income.

HR 9702: Medicare-X Choice Act of 2026

The Medicare-X Choice Act of 2026 creates a new public health plan called the Medicare Exchange health plan, which would be available to individuals and small groups starting in 2028. The bill establishes two dedicated funds to finance the plan's creation and technology updates, appropriating $1 billion each for fiscal year 2027. Under the plan, the government would set premiums to cover full costs, and reimbursement rates for doctors and hospitals would generally match current Medicare rates, with potential increases for rural areas. The legislation also requires health care providers who participate in traditional Medicare to also accept patients in this new plan, while prohibiting insurers from placing additional restrictions on enrollees. Additionally, the bill expands tax credits for people buying insurance, fixes the "family glitch" that currently limits subsidy eligibility for some workers, and authorizes the government to negotiate prices for prescription drugs.

S 4978: Stop Settlement Slush Funds Act of 2026

The Stop Settlement Slush Funds Act of 2026 restricts federal agencies from entering into settlement agreements that require payments to third parties unless those funds directly remedy actual harm or compensate for services rendered. This law prohibits officials from directing settlement money to entities other than the United States for purposes such as slush funds or unrelated projects. To ensure compliance, the bill mandates annual reports to the Congressional Budget Office detailing the distribution of settlement funds and requires federal Inspectors General to publicly report any violations to congressional committees. These reporting requirements are set to expire seven years after the bill is enacted.

HR 9736: Stop CHEATERS Act

The Stop CHEATERS Act directs the Internal Revenue Service to increase its enforcement efforts against high-income individuals and large corporations by allocating billions of dollars in additional funding for tax audits, criminal investigations, and taxpayer services through fiscal year 2031. A significant portion of this funding is designated for modernizing the IRS's technology and business systems to improve its ability to detect fraud and noncompliance. The legislation also requires the IRS Commissioner to submit regular reports to Congress detailing plans to shift auditing resources toward wealthy taxpayers and analyzing how much unpaid tax is owed by different income groups.

HR 9704: Tariff Impacted Farmer Support Act of 2026

The Tariff Impacted Farmer Support Act of 2026 directs the Secretary of Agriculture to provide financial assistance to farmers who lost revenue on specific crops due to tariffs during the 2025 and 2026 crop years. Eligible producers must grow corn, cotton, peanuts, poultry, or soybeans and have an average adjusted gross income of $500,000 or less. Payments are calculated based on the difference between a farmer's revenue in the previous year and their current year's revenue, with a total funding cap of $15 billion split equally between the two years. A key provision prevents any single farmer from receiving payments for both 2025 and 2026 losses, and the funds must be distributed by November 1 of the following year.

HR 9573: Housing Opportunities and Preservation Enhancement Act of 2026

The Housing Opportunities and Preservation Enhancement Act of 2026 provides specific tax incentives to encourage the rehabilitation and long-term preservation of low-income rental housing. It defines "qualified property" as buildings that have been in service for over 15 years, are owned by specific non-profit or government entities, and maintain restrictions ensuring at least 70% of units are occupied by low-income tenants. To qualify, these buildings must undergo significant rehabilitation spending within a 24-month period, a fact that must be certified by an independent accountant. The bill grants these properties exemptions from various tax rules, including passive activity limitations and profit motive requirements, while also allowing for accelerated depreciation over 15 years. Additionally, it clarifies how gains are calculated upon sale and ensures that certain capital grants used for construction do not reduce the property's tax basis.

HR 9660: No Hostile ONLOOKERS Act

The No Hostile ONLOOKERS Act restricts intelligence agencies from funding research or technical support at National Laboratories if those facilities allow individuals from designated "countries of risk" to access their premises, information, or technology. This rule directly affects federal intelligence elements and the National Laboratories they fund, prohibiting the expenditure of money on projects where such access is permitted. The only exception to this ban is a specific waiver that an intelligence agency head can request from congressional committees, provided they certify that the project is not at risk of foreign intelligence collection and explain why the waiver is necessary. Essentially, the bill aims to prevent foreign adversaries from gaining access to sensitive U.S. scientific data and facilities through personnel associated with the intelligence community.

HR 9626: To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to eliminate the State and local tax deduction marriage penalty.

This bill aims to remove a tax disadvantage known as the "marriage penalty" for couples filing jointly under the State and local tax deduction. It achieves this by adjusting the dollar limits and income thresholds so that married couples filing jointly receive twice the deduction amount available to single filers, while married individuals filing separately receive half. These changes are designed to ensure that married couples do not pay more in taxes solely because they are married. The provisions would take effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2026.
