HRES 883: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the slogan, "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" is antisemitic and its use must be condemned.

This non-binding House resolution condemns the slogan "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" as antisemitic, stating it promotes hatred against Jewish people and the State of Israel. It links the slogan to Hamas and other groups that reject Israel's existence, citing their charters and recent actions. The resolution calls for public condemnation of the slogan, noting it undermines peace efforts and aligns with positions of organizations like the Anti-Defamation League. It does not create new laws but expresses the House's stance on the phrase's harmful impact.

HRES 288: Encouraging the EU to DESIGNATE Resolution

This resolution (HRES 288) urges the European Union to formally designate Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization under EU legal framework Common Position 931. It does not create new laws but requests the EU take this specific action, noting the EU has previously sanctioned IRGC individuals but not the organization as a whole. The resolution cites the IRGC's role in human rights abuses, support for proxy groups, and involvement in conflicts like Ukraine as context for the request. Introduced in April 2023 by 20+ House members, it is a non-binding expression of congressional preference.

S 4128: VA Abortion Transparency Act of 2024

The VA Abortion Transparency Act of 2024 (S 4128) requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to submit quarterly reports to Congress detailing abortions facilitated by the VA. These reports must include the total number of abortions, broken down by type (surgical or medication), recipient (veteran or dependent), gestational age, legal justification, and Veterans Integrated Service Network, along with all related costs for procedures, staff training, infrastructure, and funding sources. The VA must exclude all individually identifiable patient information from these reports. This bill directly affects VA operations and congressional oversight, mandating specific data collection and transparency about abortion services provided to veterans and their dependents.

S 2790: Rural Housing Service Reform Act of 2023

The Rural Housing Service Reform Act of 2023 establishes a permanent program to preserve and revitalize rural affordable housing projects financed under sections 514, 515, and 516 of the Housing Act of 1949, directly affecting low-income rural residents and housing owners. It creates mechanisms for loan restructuring to maintain safe, affordable housing, including options like reducing interest rates, deferring payments, and subordinating debt. The bill also creates a new Native CDFI relending program to increase homeownership opportunities for Native American communities and extends the maximum term of direct loans from 30 to 40 years. Additionally, it establishes procedures for renewing rental assistance contracts for up to 20 years and adjusts the process for updating housing voucher amounts based on changes in household income or composition.

S 1557: Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act of 2023

The Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act of 2023 updates the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program to create more affordable housing options. Key provisions include increasing state funding allocations through revised per capita and minimum amount calculations, modifying tenant eligibility rules to better protect vulnerable populations (including domestic violence victims), and expanding the program's reach to Native American communities and rural areas. The bill also changes the program's name from "Low-income Housing Credit" to "Affordable Housing Credit" and makes administrative improvements to enhance transparency and accountability. These changes aim to make it easier for developers to create and maintain affordable housing units for low- and moderate-income households.

S 657: Neighborhood Homes Investment Act

The Neighborhood Homes Investment Act creates a new tax credit to encourage rehabilitation and construction of affordable homes in distressed communities. The credit, calculated as the lesser of the rehabilitation cost difference or 35% of development costs, is designed to address the "value gap" preventing housing revitalization. It requires homes to be sold to qualified homeowners (earning no more than 140% of area median income) in designated census tracts with high poverty rates and low homeownership. Homeowners must keep the homes as their primary residence for five years, after which they may sell but must repay a portion of the credit if sold within that period. The bill aims to generate 500,000 new homes over 10 years while promoting fair housing practices and neighborhood revitalization.

HR 8028: Second Chance Reauthorization Act of 2024

The Second Chance Reauthorization Act of 2024 extends funding for existing federal reentry programs through 2029, replacing previous 2019-2023 funding periods. It specifically adds new provisions requiring state and local reentry projects to include peer recovery services, substance use disorder treatment, case management, overdose reversal medications, and reentry housing. These changes directly affect state/local governments, prisons, and nonprofit organizations administering reentry services for people returning to communities after incarceration. The bill does not create new programs but continues and refines current initiatives focused on reducing recidivism through evidence-based support.

SJRES 61: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Federal Highway Administration relating to "National Performance Management Measures; Assessing Performance of the National Highway System, Greenhouse Gas Emissions Measure".

SJRES 61 is a joint resolution seeking congressional disapproval of a Federal Highway Administration rule that established performance measures for the National Highway System, including a requirement to track greenhouse gas emissions from highway activities. The rule, published in December 2023, would have mandated that states and federal agencies assess highway performance using this emissions metric. If enacted, the resolution would block the rule from taking effect, preventing the implementation of the emissions tracking measure. This action is pursued under the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to reject federal regulations with a simple majority vote.

SRES 641: A resolution designating the week of April 7 through April 13, 2024, as "National Water Week".

SRES 641 designates the week of April 7-13, 2024, as "National Water Week" to highlight the importance of clean water access and infrastructure. This symbolic resolution does not create new laws, allocate funds, or impose obligations - it serves as a commemorative observance. The resolution references ongoing challenges like aging water systems and lack of access in underserved communities but does not enact policy changes. It is a non-binding gesture to raise awareness, consistent with similar commemorative resolutions.

HRES 1148: Condemning the Iranian regime's terrorism, regional proxy war, internal suppression, and for other purposes.

HRES 1148 is a resolution passed by the U.S. House of Representatives that condemns the Iranian government for supporting terrorism, regional proxy conflicts, and internal suppression of dissent - including its crackdown on protests following Mahsa Amini's death in 2022. It specifically calls for maintaining sanctions against Iran, supporting the Iranian Resistance's Ten-Point Plan (which advocates for a democratic, secular, nonnuclear Iran), and protecting Iranian political refugees in Albania. The resolution also affirms the Iranian people's right to self-determination under international law and urges the U.S. to recognize their struggle for freedom. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws but formally expresses congressional stance.

HR 8011: Iranian Terror Prevention Act

HR 8011, the Iranian Terror Prevention Act, requires the U.S. Secretary of State to designate 12 Iranian-affiliated military groups and any entity controlled by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps as Foreign Terrorist Organizations within 90 days. It mandates the President to decide within 60 days whether to impose sanctions under existing law (Executive Order 13224) on these groups, which would block their U.S. assets and restrict transactions. The bill also requires the Secretary of State to submit regular reports to Congress on new entities meeting designation criteria and the President to explain any decisions not to impose sanctions. This law directly affects the listed Iranian military groups and any new entities linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps.
