HRES 1334: Reaffirming the Nation's commitment to one Nation Under God in the Pledge of Allegiance.

This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for keeping the words 'one Nation under God' in the Pledge of Allegiance. It highlights historical events, such as the 1954 amendment and recent 250th anniversary celebrations, to emphasize the phrase's role in American civic tradition. The bill does not change any laws or alter the Pledge itself; instead, it serves as a formal statement of the House's position on the matter.

HR 9126: HCBS Anti-Fraud Reporting Act of 2026

This bill requires states to report annually to the federal government on waste, fraud, and abuse detected in home and community-based services funded by Medicaid. Starting in 2026, state agencies must submit details on any such issues they find, along with descriptions of the steps they have taken to prevent them. The law directly affects state Medicaid programs that provide care in community settings rather than institutions. By mandating these reports, the legislation aims to increase transparency and accountability in how these services are managed.

HR 9124: Know Your Rights Act

The Know Your Rights Act directs the Attorney General to create a new Office of Legal Access Programs within the immigration review system to educate detained noncitizens about their legal rights and immigration procedures. This office would develop orientation programs that provide information in English and the five most common languages spoken by detainees, aiming to help individuals make informed decisions while reducing costs and delays in immigration proceedings. The law requires these educational services to be offered within five days of a person entering custody and mandates that the government consider vulnerable groups, such as unaccompanied children and those with serious mental disabilities, for special attention. Importantly, the bill explicitly states that providing this information does not create any new legal rights or benefits that can be enforced in court.

HR 5437: Protection of Lawful Commerce in Stone Slab Products Act

HR 5437, the *Protection of Lawful Commerce in Stone Slab Products Act*, prohibits lawsuits against manufacturers and sellers of stone slab products (like countertops) for injuries caused by silica dust exposure during third-party fabrication (e.g., cutting or grinding by fabricators). It directly affects stone slab manufacturers and sellers by shielding them from civil liability when injuries result from fabricators violating workplace safety laws. The bill’s key provision bans such lawsuits in federal or state courts and requires dismissal of pending cases. It aims to protect this industry, which employs thousands, from claims they cannot control, emphasizing that safety regulations apply to fabricators - not the original sellers.
Topics ✗ Labor & EmploymentOpposes Labor & EmploymentBill shields manufacturers from liability for silica dust injuries caused by fabricator safety violations, weakening worker compensation avenues.92% confidence

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 9114: Gig Is Up Act

The Gig Is Up Act requires large companies with over $100 million in annual revenue and at least 10,000 independent contractors to withhold taxes from payments made to these workers. This provision treats the earnings of these specific contractors as wages for Social Security purposes, effectively doubling the employer's portion of the tax on their behalf. The law applies to payments made after December 31, 2026, and includes rules for grouping related businesses together to determine if they meet the size thresholds.

HR 9083: State Emissions Authority Act of 2026

This bill, known as the State Emissions Authority Act of 2026, modifies the Clean Air Act to reduce federal mandates on vehicle inspection and maintenance programs. It primarily affects state governments by removing requirements for them to maintain specific inspection schedules and by limiting the federal government's ability to credit states for emissions reductions achieved through these programs. Additionally, the legislation adjusts rules regarding how states must report their environmental plans and clarifies compliance standards for federal vehicles and installations. By striking several existing sections of the law, the bill effectively shifts more authority over vehicle inspection policies from the federal level to the states.

HR 1041: Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act

HR 1041, the Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act, prevents the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) from automatically sending veterans' personal information to the national background check system (NICS) solely because a court has appointed a fiduciary (like a guardian) to manage their benefits. This directly affects veterans who have a fiduciary appointed due to mental health or cognitive challenges but are not deemed a danger to themselves or others. The bill requires a court order finding the veteran poses a danger before any such information can be shared with the NICS. It changes VA procedures to block unnecessary barriers to firearm ownership for veterans who qualify for fiduciary support without a judicial determination of danger.
Topics ✓ Criminal JusticeSupports Criminal JusticePrevents automatic VA data sharing with NICS for veterans with non-dangerous fiduciaries, protecting Second Amendment rights (civil rights) in criminal justice background checks.95% confidence ✓ VeteransSupports VeteransProtects veterans' Second Amendment rights by preventing automatic VA data sharing that could restrict gun access due to fiduciary appointments.90% confidence

S 4647: AGE Act of 2026

The AGE Act of 2026 creates a new tax credit to help taxpayers cover the costs of caring for elderly relatives who are at least 65 years old and need assistance with daily living. This credit allows individuals to claim up to $6,000 per year for expenses such as medical care, adult day services, personal care, respite care, and home modifications, provided the care recipient is a parent, grandparent, or other household member. The amount of the credit decreases by one percentage point for every $4,000 that a taxpayer's income exceeds $120,000, and the benefit is reduced if the taxpayer already uses a dependent care assistance program. To qualify, taxpayers must report the names, addresses, and taxpayer identification numbers of both the care providers and the elderly individuals they are supporting on their tax returns.
