HRES 1545: Recognizing the importance of Latino community leadership and engagement in outdoor recreation and conservation activities that protect United States natural resources, and expressing support for the designation of September 12 through September 20, 2026, as "Latino Conservation Week".

This House resolution formally recognizes the role of Latino communities in outdoor recreation and conservation efforts that protect U.S. natural resources. It highlights how these groups lead activities such as hiking, community cleanups, and environmental justice initiatives on public lands. The bill specifically supports the designation of September 12 through September 20, 2026, as Latino Conservation Week to celebrate this engagement.

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 10436: Reaching English Learners Act

The Reaching English Learners Act establishes a competitive grant program to help colleges and universities improve how they prepare teachers to instruct students who are learning English. These grants, which last up to five years, require partnerships between higher education institutions and high-need school districts or early childhood programs to develop curricula that include evidence-based teaching strategies such as bilingual and immersion education. Recipients must cover at least half of the program costs with non-federal funds and prioritize recruiting teacher candidates from underrepresented groups or those who are former English learners. The law also mandates that these partnerships evaluate their progress in placing new teachers in high-need areas and report findings to the Secretary of Education.

The Food for Thought Act of 2026 establishes a competitive grant program administered by the Department of Agriculture to provide free meals and snacks to low-income college students at eligible institutions, including community colleges, historically Black colleges and universities, and other minority-serving schools.

Recipients are required to prioritize students who receive Pell Grants or report food insecurity, while also evaluating institutional policies that may create barriers to enrollment and referring students to other federal benefit programs like SNAP.

HJRES 216: Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to prohibit the use of slavery and involuntary servitude as a punishment for a crime.

H.J. Res. 216 proposes a constitutional amendment to eliminate the exception in the Thirteenth Amendment that currently permits slavery and involuntary servitude as punishment for a crime. The resolution would amend the Constitution to explicitly state that neither slavery nor involuntary servitude may be imposed on anyone as a penalty for criminal conduct. This change would directly affect incarcerated individuals by prohibiting forced labor practices within the criminal justice system, while clarifying that voluntary work programs and community service alternatives remain permissible.
