S 5407: Visionary Intersections Modernization Act

The Visionary Intersections Modernization Act amends federal transportation law to allow funds from the Surface Transportation Block Grant program to be used for building roundabouts. This change directly affects state and local governments that manage road infrastructure by adding a new eligible project type to their funding options. The bill does not mandate the construction of specific intersections but rather expands the categories of work that can receive federal financial support under existing grant programs.

HR 10476: Glaucoma Vision Act of 2026

The Glaucoma Vision Act of 2026 mandates that private health insurance plans, Medicare, Medicaid, and Federal Employees Health Benefits programs cover annual glaucoma screenings for specific high-risk individuals starting in 2027. These covered individuals include adults aged 40 or older with African, Hispanic/Latino, or Asian ancestry, those with clinical risk factors such as diabetes or family history, and all adults aged 60 or older. The bill also directs the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to award $10 million in grants over two years to provide free or low-cost screenings and treatment to uninsured high-risk populations, with priority given to underserved communities. Additionally, it authorizes $10 million for research into glaucoma treatments, including optic nerve regeneration and gene therapies.

HR 10464: Paul Whelan Hostage Compensation and Reintegration Act

The Paul Whelan Hostage Compensation and Reintegration Act requires the Secretary of State to provide a one-time financial payment to U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents who have been unlawfully detained abroad, as well as to the next of kin if the detainee has died. The compensation amount is calculated by multiplying the average daily wage index by the number of days the individual was wrongfully held. Eligibility is generally restricted for those who entered countries with the highest level of travel advisories, though exceptions exist for official government travel, journalists, or cases involving compelling humanitarian circumstances. The bill also caps attorney fees at 5 percent of the award, exempts the payment from taxes and means-tested benefit calculations, and authorizes funding from the Department of Justice Assets Forfeiture Fund to support the program.

HR 10455: Debt-Free College Act of 2026

The Debt-Free College Act of 2026 establishes a state-federal partnership that provides federal grants to states to cover the unmet financial need of eligible students attending in-state public colleges, effectively making tuition debt-free for those who qualify. To participate, states must commit to capping tuition increases at inflation levels, maintaining their current level of funding for higher education, and implementing student success programs that support low-income and underserved populations. The bill also creates a separate five-year grant program for specific minority-serving institutions and tribal colleges to help them cover student costs, while simultaneously expanding federal financial aid eligibility to include "Dreamer students" who entered the United States as minors under certain conditions.

HR 10448: Reverse Big Ugly Tax Breaks for Data Centers Act

The Reverse Big Ugly Tax Breaks for Data Centers Act removes specific tax incentives for large-scale data centers and artificial intelligence facilities. It excludes these facilities from bonus depreciation, a provision that currently allows businesses to deduct the full cost of certain equipment in the year it is purchased. Additionally, the bill prevents these properties from qualifying as opportunity zone business property, which would otherwise offer significant tax benefits for investments in designated areas. The legislation targets structures with a power capacity exceeding 50 megawatts that are dedicated to data storage, processing, or AI operations.

HR 10444: Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act of 2026

The Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act of 2026 prohibits non-physician entities from owning, controlling, or employing licensed medical professionals, requiring that medical practices be majority-owned and controlled by the clinicians who work there. The bill grants physicians and other advanced practice providers protections against non-compete agreements and bans health care providers from interfering with clinical judgment through administrative controls such as limiting patient visit times or dictating diagnostic codes. Additionally, it imposes strict restrictions on management services organizations to prevent them from exercising de facto control over medical practices, including prohibitions on controlling hiring, compensation, and billing decisions. Enforcement is handled by the Federal Trade Commission, which can treat violations as unfair business practices, while individuals and state attorneys general are also granted the right to sue for damages and injunctive relief.

HR 10440: REACH Act

The REACH Act creates a new $10,000 annual tax credit for eligible rural health care providers who work at least 900 hours in a rural area. This benefit applies to primary care practitioners, mental health professionals, nurses, and medical residents participating in approved training programs. The credit is subject to an income limit, reducing the amount by $1 for every dollar of adjusted gross income over $170,000 until it reaches zero. These provisions are set to take effect for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2026, and will expire for years beginning after December 31, 2033.

HR 10426: Backlog Justice Act of 2026

The Backlog Justice Act of 2026 aims to reduce the backlog of untested sexual assault evidence kits by requiring the Attorney General to create a public database tracking inventory levels and laboratory processing times across state and local jurisdictions. To address staffing shortages, the bill authorizes the FBI to develop training programs for forensic analysts and DNA technical leaders, allowing states and localities to hire individuals who have completed this federal training. Additionally, it funds a program for the FBI to collaborate with state and local providers on validating new DNA processing technologies and sharing related protocols. The legislation also provides increased grant funding to states that implement electronic tracking systems allowing sexual assault survivors to monitor the status of their evidence kits from collection through final disposition.

HR 10419: SMILE for Veterans Act

The SMILE for Veterans Act directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to launch a three-year pilot program that provides dental care to eligible veterans living in rural areas who currently lack access to standard departmental services. The program operates by reimbursing or contracting with community-based providers, such as mobile clinics, nonprofit organizations, and private practices, to deliver basic preventive, restorative, and urgent dental treatments. Eligibility extends to veterans enrolled in the VA system who reside in designated rural areas and are either not otherwise eligible for dental care or unable to reach existing facilities within standard timeframes, with specific provisions allowing homeless veterans to qualify through alternative verification methods. The bill authorizes $5 million for program setup in fiscal year 2027 and $20 million annually for the following three years, while also establishing an internal working group to evaluate access barriers and requiring a final report to Congress on the pilot's effectiveness.

HR 10418: VA Claims AI Accountability Act

The VA Claims AI Accountability Act requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to build a new technology platform to modernize disability claims processing while ensuring that human employees retain final decision-making authority over all benefit approvals. The bill mandates the creation of a specific governance framework for artificial intelligence use, which must protect veterans' due process rights and clearly distinguish between standard automation and AI tools. To maintain transparency, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs must submit an annual report to Congress detailing costs and AI confidence scores, along with quarterly briefings on progress. Additionally, the Government Accountability Office is tasked with conducting an independent evaluation of the program's effectiveness, which will terminate on October 1, 2028.

HR 10417: VA AI Transparency Act of 2026

The VA AI Transparency Act of 2026 requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to inform veterans and other eligible individuals whenever they are interacting with an artificial intelligence system rather than a human employee. This disclosure must clearly state that the interaction is automated and explain the general purpose for which the AI is being used. The law defines covered individuals broadly to include veterans, their survivors, dependents, caregivers, and anyone seeking benefits or services from the department. An exception exists for internal administrative uses of AI that do not involve direct contact with these individuals, but the bill explicitly prohibits using AI to interact directly with them in those cases.
