This bill, titled the Housing Tariff Exclusion Act, creates a formal process for U.S. companies to request that certain building materials used in home construction be exempt from specific tariffs.

The bill mandates that exclusion requests for critical products be decided within 15 days and other requests within 60 days, with results published online and quarterly reports submitted to Congress.

HRES 1077: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee, as an entity of the United States Postal Service, should issue a commemorative stamp in honor of Charity Adams Earley.

S 3904: American Homeownership Act

The American Homeownership Act restricts tax deductions for interest and depreciation on residential properties owned by institutional investment entities or "large owners" (defined as those holding 50+ single-family units).

The bill also prohibits federal housing agencies from selling properties or providing mortgage loans to these large investors and allocates savings from these tax changes to fund affordable housing programs. These provisions aim to encourage homeownership by limiting tax benefits for large-scale rental property ownership while directing resources toward affordable housing development.
