This bill establishes the Historic Greenwood District - Black Wall Street National Monument in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to preserve and interpret the history of the Greenwood District (known as "Black Wall Street"), the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, and their significance to Oklahoma and U.S. history. It defines the monument's boundary using a specific map, authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to acquire land via donation or purchase, and requires a management plan within three years. The bill creates an 11-member advisory commission composed of 7 descendants of 1921 Greenwood residents, 3 historic preservation experts, and 1 Tulsa mayoral appointee, serving for up to 10 years. The monument will be managed by the National Park Service under standard park system rules, with no impact on private property rights within the designated area.

It specifically honors the pioneering female cadets and midshipmen of the Class of 1980 who entered West Point, Annapolis, the Air Force Academy, and the Coast Guard Academy. The bill recognizes the challenges these early women faced and their role in establishing gender integration within military training institutions. Additionally, it encourages the service academies to continue documenting and preserving the history of women's leadership in the Armed Forces.
This House concurrent resolution formally denounces Sharia law and opposes its implementation within the United States. The text argues that Sharia functions as a comprehensive political and legal system that conflicts with the U.S. Constitution, specifically citing differences in criminal justice, gender equality, and individual liberties. It references historical examples of Islamic governance and recent statements by President Trump to support the claim that foreign legal systems incompatible with American values should not be applied domestically. As a concurrent resolution, this measure serves as an official expression of congressional sentiment rather than creating new binding laws or regulations.
This House resolution marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks by formally honoring the memory of the nearly 3,000 victims and recognizing the sacrifices made by first responders, military personnel, and the passengers of United Airlines Flight 93. The bill acknowledges the ongoing health challenges faced by survivors and responders, highlighting the role of the World Trade Center Health Program in providing long-term medical support. It also credits charitable organizations and community groups that have continued to assist victims' families and veterans over the past two decades. Finally, the resolution urges the American public to observe the anniversary with ceremonies and reaffirms Congress's commitment to remembering the events and lessons of that day.
HR 10250, known as the No Preference Act, prohibits federal executive agencies and the Department of Defense from requiring or giving preference to contractors based on their use of union labor. The bill amends existing laws to ensure that government contract awards cannot be influenced by whether a company's workers are covered by collective bargaining agreements. This change directly affects federal procurement processes by mandating that offers be evaluated without regard to the labor status of the bidding firms.
This bill would prohibit any state or local government designated as a "sanctuary jurisdiction" from receiving grant funds distributed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). A jurisdiction is defined as a sanctuary if it has laws, policies, or practices that restrict officials from sharing information about an individual's immigration status or from complying with federal requests to detain or notify about the release of individuals. The funding restriction would apply to grants distributed 180 days after the bill's enactment. To determine which jurisdictions qualify for this ineligibility, the HUD Secretary is required to consult with the Secretary of Homeland Security.

This legislation directly affects manufacturers, retailers, and consumers by restricting access to nitrous oxide in consumer products after 180 days from enactment. The law defines nitrous oxide as the gas known as laughing gas or whippits and specifies which entities and activities are exempt from the ban.
HR 6152, the Foreign Robocall Elimination Act, establishes an interagency task force to address foreign robocalls entering the United States. The task force, composed of the FCC, FTC, DOJ, and private sector representatives, will study the origins, impacts, and potential solutions to foreign robocalls and must submit a report to Congress within 360 days. The bill also modifies existing law to require FCC notices about robocall mitigation every three years instead of annually, and introduces a bond requirement for providers using the Robocall Mitigation Database. This legislation affects telecommunications providers, federal agencies, and all U.S. telephone users who receive unwanted calls. The bill aims to improve coordination between U.S. agencies and foreign countries in combating illegal robocalls through concrete policy changes.
This House resolution congratulates the University of Oklahoma baseball team for winning its third national championship in the 2026 Men's College World Series.

The Consumer Financial Protection Accountability and Reform Act of 2026 significantly restructures the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection by subjecting it to the regular federal appropriations process and establishing an independent Inspector General appointed by the President. The bill restricts the Bureau's supervisory authority over banks and credit unions with assets under $30 billion, allowing these institutions to elect to remain under their existing prudential regulators instead. It also introduces a safe harbor for small-dollar loans of $3,500 or less that meet specific structural requirements, shielding compliant lenders from civil money penalties and private damages. Additionally, the legislation creates federal standards for earned wage access services, requiring providers to offer a no-cost option for early wage access and prohibiting them from treating these services as credit or debt under federal law.
This bill designates the Route 66 National Historic Trail, covering approximately 2,400 miles from Chicago, Illinois, to Santa Monica, California, along all historical alignments of U.S. Highway 66 (1926-1985). It directs the National Park Service to administer the trail while respecting its unique character, requiring tribal consultation for significant impacts on Native American tribes, and explicitly prohibiting land acquisition beyond 1/4 mile on either side of the trail. The bill clarifies it does not create buffer zones, disrupt energy infrastructure (including pipelines or renewable projects), or designate the trail as part of the National Park System, while affirming existing authority for easements and rights-of-way.
