HR 9027: Military and Veterans Fuel Discount Act of 2026

This bill authorizes the Department of Defense to offer fuel discounts to eligible military members and veterans at exchange stores, provided the fuel is dispensed directly into their personal vehicles. The program guarantees a minimum discount equal to the federal tax rate on gasoline or diesel, with a floor of 18.4 cents per gallon for gasoline and 24.4 cents per gallon for diesel, while allowing for additional reductions to cover state and local taxes. To prevent fraud and ensure the fuel is used only for personal transportation, the Secretary of Defense must update regulations to stop resale or commercial use of the discounted fuel. The authority to run this program will end on September 30, 2029, and the Department must submit annual reports to Congress detailing the program's usage, costs, and any issues encountered.

S 4619: Protect Domestic Oil and Gas Small Business Act of 2026

This bill, the Protect Domestic Oil and Gas Small Business Act of 2026, exempts small oil and gas wells from certain federal air quality standards and reporting requirements under the Clean Air Act. It defines a "marginal well" as one producing 15 barrels of oil or less per day, or 90,000 cubic feet of natural gas or less per day, and removes obligations for monitoring, leak detection, and emissions testing for these sites. The legislation also mandates that the EPA approve state plans excluding marginal wells within 180 days and must terminate any ongoing enforcement actions against such wells. Additionally, the EPA is required to update its regulations within 180 days of the bill's enactment to implement these new exemptions.

HRES 1315: Expressing support for the designation of May 2026 as "Renewable Fuels Month" to recognize the important role that renewable fuels play in lowering fuel prices for consumers, lessening reliance on foreign adversaries, supporting rural communities, and reducing carbon impacts.

This bill is a non-binding resolution that expresses support for designating May 2026 as 'Renewable Fuels Month.' It aims to highlight the economic and environmental benefits of renewable fuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel, which are used in vehicles and aviation. The resolution recognizes how these fuels help lower consumer prices, create jobs in rural areas, reduce reliance on foreign oil, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Because this is a symbolic gesture rather than a law with enforceable rules, it does not change any existing policies or regulations.

HRES 1310: Expressing support for continued efforts to safeguard Medicare, Medicaid, and other Federal health care programs from fraud, waste, abuse, and improper payments through strengthened program integrity measures, enhanced oversight, and coordinated enforcement actions, and recognizing the work of the Trump administration and congressional Republicans to investigate and prosecute fraud and protect taxpayer dollars and preserve the long-term sustainability of the Nation's health care safety net.

This resolution expresses support for the Trump administration's efforts to combat fraud, waste, and abuse in Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal health care programs. It highlights specific actions taken, such as using advanced technology to detect fraud, suspending billions of dollars in suspected fraudulent payments, and coordinating with law enforcement to prosecute offenders. The document also acknowledges the creation of a new task force designed to lead a governmentwide strategy against fraud in federal benefit programs. Ultimately, the bill serves as a formal recognition of these initiatives rather than introducing new laws or policy changes.

HR 8967: Rural Community Hospital Demonstration Program Reauthorization

This bill extends the Rural Community Hospital Demonstration Program by an additional five years, allowing rural hospitals to continue receiving Medicare payment adjustments designed to help them compete with larger health systems. The legislation amends existing federal laws to change the program's timeline from a 15-year extension to a 20-year extension, ensuring these financial incentives remain in place for a longer period. It also includes specific rules for hospitals that joined the program later, ensuring they receive the same extended benefits during the final years of the new timeframe. The primary effect is to maintain current funding mechanisms for participating rural hospitals without altering the core rules of the demonstration.

HR 8875: Improving Home Dialysis Act of 2026

This bill, known as the Improving Home Dialysis Act of 2026, expands Medicare coverage to include two new types of support services for patients performing dialysis at home. Starting in 2028, it will cover respite care provided by trained medical staff when a patient is temporarily unable to manage their own dialysis, as well as mental health services specifically for kidney disease during the first 60 days of home treatment. The legislation also adjusts Medicare payments to cover these services, setting specific limits on the number of sessions allowed per year and ensuring the costs are not offset by reducing payments elsewhere. These changes directly affect Medicare beneficiaries who use home dialysis and the healthcare providers who deliver these specialized services.

HR 3234: Keeping Deposits Local Act

HR 3234, the "Keeping Deposits Local Act," amends the Federal Deposit Insurance Act to adjust how banks calculate reciprocal deposits that don't count as "funds obtained through a deposit broker." It establishes tiered percentage thresholds based on a bank's total liabilities: 50% for banks under $1 billion, decreasing to 40% for $1-10 billion, 30% for $10-250 billion, 20% for $250 billion-$1 trillion, and 2% for banks over $1 trillion. This change directly affects commercial banks, particularly smaller institutions, by allowing them to hold a larger share of deposits without triggering stricter broker-related regulations. The bill aims to simplify compliance for community banks while maintaining oversight for larger financial institutions.

HR 3164: Ensuring Community Access to Pharmacist Services Act

This bill would add pharmacist services to Medicare Part B coverage for beneficiaries, specifically covering pharmacist-led testing and treatment for illnesses like flu, COVID-19, or strep throat during public health emergencies. It defines covered services as those performed under state law, often requiring collaboration with a physician, and sets payment at 80% of the lesser of the actual charge or 85% of physician payment rates. Pharmacists would be prohibited from balance billing for these services, ensuring Medicare beneficiaries pay only their standard copayment. The changes would take effect January 1, 2026.
