SRES 596: A resolution designating the week of February 2 through 6, 2026, as "National School Counseling Week".

SRES 596 is a non-binding Senate resolution designating February 2-6, 2026, as "National School Counseling Week." It directly recognizes school counselors and their role in supporting students' academic, social, emotional, and career development. The resolution encourages public awareness through ceremonies and activities to highlight counselors' contributions, addressing their critical but often underfunded role (with a national student-to-counselor ratio of 376:1). It does not create new programs or alter funding but formally acknowledges counselors' work in schools.

HRES 1038: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States must recommit to defend and uphold the rights and protections guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution to ensure that our democracy works for all of us, not just a powerful few.

HRES 1038 is a non-binding House resolution expressing the sense of Congress that the U.S. must reaffirm its commitment to the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantees of birthright citizenship, due process, and equal protection under the law. It calls on all federal branches to defend these rights against actions that threaten them, such as policies undermining birthright citizenship or restricting voting access. The resolution specifically urges Congress to oppose legislation or executive actions that weaken these constitutional protections and to work toward full equal protection for all people. As a symbolic resolution, it does not create new law or impose legal requirements but emphasizes the importance of upholding these constitutional principles for democratic fairness.

S 3776: The Federal Grant Neutrality Act

The Federal Grant Neutrality Act (S 3776) prevents the Department of Justice from requiring entities to comply with specific immigration-related laws or presidential directives as a condition for receiving DOJ grants. It specifically blocks the Attorney General from demanding agreement to Section 642 of the 1996 immigration law, presidential memoranda, or executive orders. This directly affects local governments, community organizations, and other applicants seeking federal grant funding from the DOJ. The bill removes these requirements as a prerequisite for grant eligibility, ensuring entities can access funding without meeting those particular conditions. The change applies only to DOJ-administered grants, not other federal programs.
Topics ✓ ImmigrationSupports ImmigrationBlocks DOJ from requiring compliance with immigration enforcement laws (e.g., 1996 Section 642) for grant eligibility, protecting local entities from mandatory federal enforcement cooperation.95% confidence

S 3777: Rebuild America’s Schools Act of 2026

The Rebuild America's Schools Act of 2026 would provide $20 billion annually (2027-2031) to improve public school facilities across the United States. The bill directs funds to states based on previous Title I funding allocations, requiring states to contribute 10% of the funds (with some exceptions) and develop plans for equitable distribution to school districts. Local educational agencies must prioritize schools with high numbers of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and funds can be used for construction, renovation, energy efficiency upgrades, removal of toxic substances, and making facilities accessible. The bill also establishes school infrastructure bonds to leverage private investment and includes specific provisions to repair foundations damaged by pyrrhotite.

S 3775: Stop Underrides Act 2.0

The Stop Underrides Act 2.0 requires new safety standards for side underride guards on commercial trucks and trailers to prevent passenger vehicles from sliding under them during collisions. The bill mandates that the Secretary of Transportation finalize regulations requiring these guards within 18 months, with full compliance required within two years. The regulations must meet specific performance standards to prevent intrusion into passenger vehicle occupant space during side collisions at speeds up to 40 mph. This law directly affects commercial truck manufacturers, trucking companies, and all road users, particularly vulnerable road users like cyclists and pedestrians who are at higher risk in underride crashes. The bill also establishes a public website for underride crash resources and requires studies to better understand and prevent these crashes.

HR 7345: Studying Disastrous Impacts of Mass Deportation Act

HR 7345 directs the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to study the long-term economic effects of immigration policies implemented beginning January 20, 2025. The CBO must assess impacts across specific sectors (like healthcare, agriculture, STEM fields), public safety concerns, demographic shifts, small business effects, and tax revenue at federal, state, and local levels. Federal agencies - including Homeland Security, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the IRS - must provide requested data to support this study. The report must be completed within 180 days of the bill’s enactment or by the end of the current congressional session, whichever comes first. This is a procedural study bill, not a policy change.

HR 7340: Rebuild America’s Schools Act of 2026

The Rebuild America's Schools Act of 2026 authorizes $20 billion annually from 2027 to 2031 to improve public school facilities nationwide. The bill provides grants to states to fund school construction, renovation, and modernization projects that focus on safety, energy efficiency, and accessibility, with priority given to schools serving high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Funds cannot be used for routine maintenance, athletic facilities, or vehicles, and must meet specific environmental, safety, and energy efficiency standards. The bill also includes specific provisions for repairing school foundations affected by pyrrhotite, a mineral that causes concrete deterioration, and requires use of American-made materials for construction projects.

HR 7346: Drain ICE Act of 2026

HR 7346, the Drain ICE Act of 2026, repeals specific funding provisions (sections 90003 and 100052) from the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" and cancels all unspent funds allocated under those sections. This bill directly affects ICE’s detention budget by removing existing financial authority for detention operations. It does not change immigration enforcement practices or directly impact individuals; it solely modifies budgetary allocations. The bill focuses on eliminating funding mechanisms, not on policy changes for migrants or enforcement. (Procedural bill; summary limited to 2 sentences as specified.)

HR 7335 establishes comprehensive humanitarian standards for individuals held in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) custody. The bill requires facilities to provide immediate health screenings within 12 hours (6 hours for high-risk individuals like children, pregnant people, or those with medical conditions), ensure access to adequate water, sanitation, food (with 2,000+ calories daily for adults), and age-appropriate shelter. It mandates specific facility standards including separate housing for males and females, accessible accommodations for people with disabilities, daily outdoor access for those detained over 48 hours, and proper medical equipment and personnel on-site. The bill also requires regular inspections, staff training on humanitarian protocols, and public reporting of sexual abuse complaints. These standards directly affect all individuals detained by ICE or CBP, with special protections for vulnerable groups like children, pregnant people, and those with medical needs.

HR 5658: Child Care for Every Community Act

HR 5658, the Child Care for Every Community Act, establishes a federal framework to create universal, high-quality child care and early learning programs available to all young children not yet required to attend school. The bill requires that covered children (children below compulsory school age) be entitled to participate in these programs, with no fees for low-income families and sliding-scale fees for others based on family income. Key provisions include requiring full-working-day, full-calendar-year care; setting national quality standards for staff qualifications and facilities; mandating comprehensive services including health, nutrition, and family support; and requiring coordination with schools to support children's transitions to kindergarten. The bill directly affects families seeking child care, child care providers, and local communities that would administer these programs through designated "prime sponsors."

This bill establishes a Truth and Healing Commission to investigate the history and impacts of U.S. Indian Boarding School policies on Native American communities, including their cultural, emotional, and physical effects. The Commission will document these policies' history through research, public meetings across all 12 Bureau of Indian Affairs regions and Hawai'i, and consultation with survivors, tribes, and relevant Federal agencies. It will develop recommendations for federal action on memorialization, education, and addressing ongoing impacts, with a final report due six years after enactment. The Commission will include a Survivors Truth and Healing Subcommittee with 15 members representing boarding school survivors, their descendants, and tribal communities. The bill requires trauma-informed care at public meetings and mandates consultation with Native American communities throughout the process.

It requires grantees to provide trauma-informed, culturally appropriate services while prohibiting discrimination and protecting victim confidentiality, and mandates accessibility for people with disabilities and limited English proficiency.
