S 5337: Keep Our Communities Safe Act of 2026

The Keep Our Communities Safe Act of 2026 significantly expands the authority of the Secretary of Homeland Security to detain non-citizens who are facing removal from the United States. The bill removes time limits on detention during removal proceedings and allows for indefinite detention after a final order is issued if specific conditions, such as national security threats or public safety risks, are certified by government officials. It restricts access to bond hearings for many detainees, requiring them instead to prove they are not flight risks or community threats through clear and convincing evidence. Additionally, the legislation establishes administrative review processes that permit detention beyond standard removal periods if an individual fails to cooperate with deportation efforts or poses a continuing danger.

S 5335: Fair Audits and Inspections for Regulators' Exams Act

The Fair Audits and Inspections for Regulators' Exams Act establishes strict deadlines for federal financial regulators to complete examinations, conduct exit interviews, and issue final reports, with extensions permitted only for specific documented reasons. The bill creates a new Office of Independent Examination Review within the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, staffed by a three-member board appointed by the President, to oversee examination quality and handle complaints from financial institutions. It grants banks and credit unions the right to request binding written advice on regulatory interpretations and allows them to seek independent, de novo review of significant supervisory determinations made during exams. Additionally, the legislation permits regulated entities to choose between an administrative hearing before their regulator or a judicial hearing in federal district court when facing enforcement actions or civil money penalties.

S 252: GOOD Act

This bill, the GOOD Act (Guidance Out Of Darkness Act), requires federal agencies to publish all their non-binding guidance documents - such as memos, bulletins, letters, and blog posts - on a single, publicly accessible government website. It applies to all federal agencies and mandates that existing guidance be posted within 180 days of the law's enactment, with new guidance published immediately upon issuance. Agencies must also maintain rescinded guidance documents online with clear labels indicating they are no longer in effect. The law does not apply to documents already exempt from public disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

HR 7008: Stop Insider Trading Act

HR 7008, the Stop Insider Trading Act, restricts Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from purchasing certain investments like stocks in publicly traded companies. It requires 7-14 days' advance public notice before selling any such investment, including the sale date, description, and number of shares. Exceptions apply for work-related transactions (e.g., employer compensation) and reinvesting dividends. Violations trigger a fee of $2,000 or 10% of the investment’s value (whichever is greater), plus any net gain, paid from personal funds - not congressional allowances or campaign donations. The bill aims to prevent conflicts of interest by increasing transparency around congressional financial dealings.

SJRES 208: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "California State Motor Vehicle Pollution Control Standards; Advanced Clean Car Program; Reconsideration of a Previous Withdrawal of a Waiver of Preemption; Notice of Decision".

This bill allows Congress to reject a specific rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency that concerns vehicle pollution standards in California. The measure would effectively cancel the EPA's decision to reinstate a waiver that previously let California set its own stricter air quality rules for cars. If passed, the rule would have no legal force, meaning California would lose the ability to enforce its Advanced Clean Car Program under the current framework. The legislation directly impacts the relationship between federal environmental regulations and state-level automotive policies.

SJRES 207: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "California State Motor Vehicle Pollution Control Standards; Notice of Decision Granting a Waiver of Clean Air Act Preemption for California's Advanced Clean Car Program and a Within the Scope Conformation for California's Zero Emission Vehicle Amendments for 2017 and Earlier Model Years".

This joint resolution seeks to overturn a specific rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency that allowed California to set its own stricter vehicle emission standards. By using a congressional disapproval mechanism, the bill aims to nullify this waiver, which would otherwise let California enforce unique pollution control requirements for cars and trucks. If passed, the measure would require all states to follow the federal government's uniform vehicle emission rules instead of California's separate standards. The legislation directly impacts automakers, state regulators, and consumers by ensuring a single set of national rules applies to motor vehicle pollution.

SJRES 206: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "California State Motor Vehicle Pollution Control Standards; Notice of Decision Granting a Waiver of Clean Air Act Preemption for California's 2009 and Subsequent Model Year Greenhouse Gas Emission Standards for New Motor Vehicles".

This joint resolution seeks to overturn a specific rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency that allowed California to set its own stricter greenhouse gas emission standards for new vehicles. By disapproving this waiver, the bill aims to restore federal preemption, ensuring that all states must follow the same national emission rules rather than California's unique requirements. If passed, the measure would effectively cancel the EPA's decision, forcing automakers to comply with uniform federal standards for vehicle pollution control.

SJRES 205: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "California State Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards; Small Off-Road Engines Regulations; Notice of Decision".

This joint resolution seeks to disapprove a specific rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency regarding pollution standards for small off-road engines in California. If passed, the measure would nullify the federal regulation, preventing it from taking legal effect. The bill directly impacts the EPA and manufacturers of small off-road equipment operating under California's environmental standards. It is a procedural action that relies on the Congressional Review Act to overturn an existing administrative decision.

S 5267: Accountable Produce is Medicine Act of 2026

The Accountable Produce is Medicine Act of 2026 directs the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation to launch a five-year pilot program that tests a bundled payment model for chronic disease management. This initiative targets patients with conditions such as diabetes, obesity, or cardiovascular disease who reside in rural, medically underserved, or health professional shortage areas. Participating programs must provide a comprehensive package of services, including personalized nutrition counseling, remote patient monitoring, telehealth, and access to nutrient-dense foods, while prioritizing locally grown produce and regenerative agriculture. The model requires regular tracking of patient health metrics like weight and blood pressure, with the option for programs to assume financial risk for performance starting in the third year. All services under this pilot are provided without deductibles or copayments, aiming to evaluate whether these integrated food and medical interventions can improve health outcomes and reduce overall healthcare costs.

S 5253: Tick-Borne Livestock Disease Research Prioritization Act

The Tick-Borne Livestock Disease Research Prioritization Act directs the Department of Agriculture to provide research and extension grants aimed at addressing emerging tick-borne diseases in livestock, such as anaplasmosis and babesiosis. These funds are specifically allocated for developing vaccines, treatments, and improved surveillance methods to combat threats posed by invasive species like the Asian longhorned tick. Additionally, the bill supports educational programs designed to help veterinarians, state agriculture departments, and producers better recognize and prevent these diseases. By enhancing diagnostic capabilities and providing practical guidance, the legislation seeks to protect herd health and reduce economic losses for beef and dairy producers.

S 5244: SUSTAIN 340B Act

The SUSTAIN 340B Act overhauls the federal drug discount program to tighten oversight and prevent fraud by requiring covered entities to register their contract pharmacies and child sites with the Department of Health and Human Services. It establishes a new independent data clearinghouse to track claims and stop duplicate discounts, while also mandating that health insurers and pharmacy benefit managers treat 340B providers on equal footing without imposing discriminatory reimbursement terms. The bill defines strict criteria for what constitutes a valid patient relationship and authorizes a user fee program starting in fiscal year 2031 to fund additional audits and enforcement activities. These provisions directly affect safety-net healthcare providers, drug manufacturers, and insurance companies by increasing transparency requirements and expanding the government's authority to penalize non-compliance.
