HR 6961: USMMA Athletics Act of 2026

This bill establishes a U.S.-owned nonprofit corporation to support the athletic programs of the United States Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA). The Secretary of Transportation will create and oversee the corporation, which can enter sole-source contracts, accept donations (including from the NCAA and ticket sales), and license USMMA trademarks to fund athletic activities. The corporation must operate as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit under New York law, with DOT employees serving on its board in limited oversight roles. Funds received - such as from sponsorships, licensing fees, or other sources - must be retained exclusively for USMMA athletics, with strict rules to prevent conflicts with DOT’s other duties. The bill directly affects USMMA’s athletic programs and the Department of Transportation’s management of related funding.

HR 6958: PROTECT Military Families Act

HR 6958, the PROTECT Military Families Act, creates a new immigration parole pathway for family members of military personnel. It allows the Secretary of Homeland Security to parole into the U.S. spouses, parents, children, or widows/widowers of current active-duty service members, Selected Reserve members, or veterans (with non-dishonorable discharge) in one-year increments. The bill requires joint written justification from DHS, Defense, and VA for denials and mandates public posting of denial reasons without personal details. This policy change directly affects military families seeking temporary U.S. entry under specific military service conditions.

HR 6962: Families First Housing Act of 2026

This bill requires federal housing agencies (like HUD and Fannie Mae) to prioritize qualified first-time homebuyers when selling single-family homes (1-4 units). For 180 days after listing, properties must be offered only to eligible buyers (individuals, nonprofits, local governments, or community land trusts) at fair market value based on recent third-party appraisals, with public online listings showing the priority window. Covered entities must report quarterly sales data, including prices relative to appraised value, and annual audits will verify compliance. Institutional investors (e.g., rental companies) cannot purchase during the priority period. The law aims to increase access to homeownership for specific groups through transparency and structured sales processes.

HR 6972: Reporting Accountability and Abuse Prevention Act of 2026

HR 6972 (Reporting Accountability and Abuse Prevention Act of 2026) requires health centers receiving federal funds under Title X (which supports family planning services) to comply with all state and local laws requiring reporting of child abuse, sexual abuse, intimate partner violence, and human trafficking. It mandates that these centers create written compliance plans, provide annual training for staff on reporting obligations and safety protocols, screen minors for potential abuse when presenting with STIs or pregnancy, and document all reports. Centers must maintain detailed records of minor patients and reports, and allow federal officials to review these records. Failure to comply can result in corrective action, repayment of funds, or a 36-month ban on future Title X funding for repeat violations.

HR 6944: To require the Secretary of Agriculture to make cost-share grants for retrofitting agricultural tractors with rollover protection structures, and for other purposes.

This bill requires the Secretary of Agriculture to provide cost-share grants covering 70% of the costs for agricultural producers and eligible schools to retrofit tractors with approved rollover protection structures (safety frames that prevent injury if a tractor rolls over). It defines eligible schools as those offering agricultural training, including vocational programs, colleges, and secondary schools with ag-focused curricula. Grants cover purchasing, transporting, and installing these safety structures, with increased coverage for costs exceeding $500. Funding of $725,000 annually (2027-2031) is authorized, with $500,000 allocated directly to grants and the rest for administrative support.

HR 6951: Stop Unfair Medicaid Recoveries Act

This bill prohibits states from pursuing or collecting Medicaid recovery claims against individuals' estates for payments made during their lifetime. It requires states to withdraw all existing recovery liens within 90 days of enactment and notify affected individuals or their estates. The law specifically ends state efforts to reclaim Medicaid funds from beneficiaries' estates after death, applying to claims initiated before the law's effective date. It directly affects Medicaid beneficiaries and their estates who were subject to prior state recovery actions. The key mechanism is a mandatory 90-day withdrawal of all existing liens and a permanent ban on new recovery claims for correctly paid assistance.

HR 6585: To direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to temporarily extend the period during which certain individuals may file claims for medical care under the CHAMPVA program of the Department of Veterans Affairs, and for other purposes.

This bill extends the deadline for certain veterans' dependents to file claims for medical care under the CHAMPVA program. It applies to individuals already eligible for CHAMPVA benefits who also have Medicare Part A hospital coverage. The key change ensures that after receiving official approval for retroactive care, these individuals have a full 365 days (not earlier than one year) to file their claim. The extension applies from the bill's enactment date until September 30, 2027.

HR 6454: VA Zero Suicide Demonstration Project Act of 2025

HR 6454 establishes a 5-year pilot program at five Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers to improve suicide care for veterans. The program requires VA staff at these sites to complete a 10-week training curriculum based on the Zero Suicide Institute's model, focusing on suicide screening, risk assessment, safety planning, and care transitions. It mandates annual reports to Congress tracking staff training completion, policy alignment with the Institute's standards, and comparisons of suicide-related outcomes (like screenings and hospitalizations) between pilot sites and other VA facilities. The pilot includes one site primarily serving rural veterans and requires site selection based on factors like regional suicide rates and staff capacity. The program will conclude after five years unless the VA extends it for up to two more years.

HR 6911: COPS Anti-Organized Crime and Cartel Enforcement Act of 2025

This bill creates new federal grants to help local law enforcement combat organized crime, cartels, and transnational criminal groups. It allocates $50 million annually (2026-2030) for specialized units to purchase equipment like tactical vehicles and non-weaponized drones, train officers in counter-crime tactics, and hire additional personnel. Jurisdictions with documented high levels of cartel or gang activity must certify how funds will be used. The grants are funded by rescinding previously allocated Labor Department funds, and the Attorney General must report annually on grant usage to Congress.

HR 6915: To prohibit the use of funds to use military force in or against Venezuela, and for other purposes.

This bill prohibits the use of federal funds for any military action against Venezuela from its enactment date through December 31, 2026, unless Congress either declares war or passes new specific authorization meeting War Powers Resolution standards. It directly affects all federal agencies and military operations that would require funding for actions targeting Venezuela. The key mechanism blocks funding for military force unless Congress explicitly authorizes it through one of two specific pathways. A narrow exception allows actions already compliant with existing War Powers Resolution rules. This is a funding restriction, not a ban on military action itself.

HR 5593: To amend title 38, United States Code, to include eyeglass lens fittings in the category of medical services authorized to be furnished to veterans under the Veterans Community Care Program, and for other purposes.

This bill expands the Veterans Community Care Program to cover eyeglass lens fittings as an authorized medical service, directly affecting veterans who receive care through non-VA providers under the program. It amends the law to explicitly include "fittings for eyeglass lenses" in the list of covered services, allowing eligible veterans to schedule these appointments at nearby community providers. The Department of Veterans Affairs must establish regulations to implement this change, ensuring veterans can access these fittings without needing to go through VA facilities. A report on implementation progress, challenges, and veteran benefits must be submitted to Congress within 180 days of the bill's enactment.

HR 4837: Written Informed Consent Act

HR 4837, the Written Informed Consent Act, requires the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) to update its existing directive on informed consent to include additional medication classes. Specifically, it mandates that written informed consent must be obtained before prescribing antipsychotics, stimulants, antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications (anxiolytics), and narcotics (opioids) to veterans. This expansion directly affects veterans receiving these medications through the VA system, ensuring they are informed about specific treatment risks and alternatives. The key mechanism is amending VHA Directive 1005 to broaden its application beyond long-term opioid therapy to cover the newly listed medication types.
