HRES 1340: Expressing strong opposition to the imposition of digital services taxes and other relevant similar measures by other countries that unfairly discriminate against United States companies.

This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' opposition to foreign countries imposing digital services taxes that discriminate against U.S. companies. It highlights that these taxes unfairly target gross revenues rather than actual profits and penalize businesses that do not have a physical presence in the taxing country. The bill calls on other nations to repeal such measures and engage in fair trade negotiations based on international tax principles. Additionally, it supports the use of trade tools like Section 301 investigations to protect American businesses from these discriminatory practices.

HR 9169: PKD Cures Act

The PKD Cures Act directs the National Institutes of Health to expand and prioritize research into polycystic kidney disease, a common genetic condition that causes kidney failure in hundreds of thousands of Americans. To achieve this, the bill requires the NIH to intensify studies on the disease's genetic mechanisms, develop new treatments, and create a comprehensive research roadmap involving experts and patient advocates. This roadmap must outline strategies for collaboration, set timelines for innovation, and propose ways to integrate new technologies like artificial medicine into care. Additionally, the legislation mandates that the NIH establish a specialized working group to identify research gaps and submit a detailed report to Congress within 24 months.

The Federal Firearms Licensee Protection Act of 2026 increases penalties for individuals who knowingly violate federal laws regarding the possession of firearms by licensed dealers. Specifically, it raises the maximum prison sentence for such violations to 20 years and mandates a minimum of three years in prison if the offense occurs during a burglary of a licensed business. The law also sets a five-year minimum sentence if the violation happens during a robbery. These changes directly affect federal firearms licensees and anyone attempting to illegally possess firearms from them.

HR 175: Deport Alien Gang Members Act

This bill creates new grounds for deporting non-citizens who are members of or associated with criminal gangs. It defines a "criminal gang" as a group of five or more people whose primary purpose is committing serious crimes like drug offenses, violence, trafficking, or weapons violations. The Secretary of Homeland Security can designate groups as criminal gangs after consultation with the Attorney General, and these designations make gang members ineligible for asylum, temporary protected status, parole, and other immigration benefits. The bill also establishes procedures for reviewing and revoking these designations, with limited judicial review options.

HR 9108: To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to adjust the eligibility for the rural emergency hospital designation under the Medicare program.

This bill modifies the Medicare program to update how rural emergency hospitals qualify for a specific designation. It changes the eligibility criteria to include facilities that operated at any time between January 1, 2015, and the present, even if they have changed ownership since then. The amendment ensures that a hospital's national provider identification number does not disqualify it from this status due to a change in ownership. Directly affecting rural emergency hospitals, the measure simplifies the requirements for maintaining their designated status under Medicare.

SRES 727: A resolution supporting the designation of May 29, 2026, as "Mental Health Awareness in Agriculture Day" to raise awareness around mental health in the agricultural industry and workforce and to continue to reduce stigma associated with mental illness.

This Senate resolution designates May 29, 2026, as "Mental Health Awareness in Agriculture Day" to highlight mental health issues within the farming industry. The bill aims to reduce stigma surrounding mental illness among the approximately 3.37 million agricultural producers and 1.6 million farmworkers in the United States. It acknowledges specific challenges faced by these workers, such as suicide rates that are significantly higher than the general population, and encourages the use of existing resources like the Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network. The resolution serves as a symbolic gesture to promote well-being rather than enacting new laws or funding changes.

HR 3497: Medal of Sacrifice Act

Medal of Sacrifice Act of 2025 This act directs the President to issue a medal of sacrifice for eligible law enforcement officers and first responders who are killed in the line of duty. The act also directs the President to establish a commission on the medal of sacrifice and appoint its members. The act sets forth responsibilities of the commission, including to advise on the design of the medal and determine how the medal will be presented. Under the act, eligible law enforcement officers and first responders include federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial law enforcement officers or first responders who are not subject to an official act of wrongdoing (e.g., a determination that the officer or first responder acted outside the scope of their duties or in a manner that was not in accordance with official policies or procedures). A law enforcement officer or first responder who is subject to an official act of wrongdoing is generally not eligible for the medal of sacrifice. However, in the case of such an officer or first responder, the act requires the commission to investigate the circumstances surrounding the officer or first responder's cause of death and issue a final determination on their eligibility.

Because it is a commemorative resolution rather than a procedural or funding measure, it has no direct legal effect on individuals or government operations.
