HRES 1177: Impeaching Peter B. Hegseth, Secretary of Defense of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

This resolution formally impeaches Peter B. Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, for six articles of high crimes and misdemeanors. The articles allege unauthorized military actions against Iran without congressional approval, violations of international law regarding civilian casualties, mishandling of classified information, obstruction of congressional oversight, politicization of military decisions, and discriminatory conduct toward service members based on gender, race, and sexual orientation. If the House votes to adopt this resolution, the matter would be sent to the Senate for a trial to determine whether Hegseth should be removed from office.

HR 8292: Original Alternative Data for Additional Credit FHA Pilot Program Reauthorization Act

This bill reauthorizes and modifies an existing Federal Housing Administration (FHA) pilot program designed to help prospective homebuyers, particularly those with limited credit history, qualify for mortgages. It allows the FHA to use credit scoring models that incorporate "additional data" (beyond traditional credit reports) for borrowers who voluntarily choose to participate, aiming to assess their creditworthiness more comprehensively. The legislation requires the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to select these models, ensure lenders provide clear information to borrowers about their options, and specifically prevents the program from being used for refinancing existing loans. It also mandates detailed reports to Congress on the pilot's effectiveness and impact, extending the program for an additional five years.

The bill also introduces a formula-based allocation system that includes a specific portion of funds for mitigation activities designed to reduce future disaster risks and requires strict reporting to prevent the duplication of benefits with other federal aid.

S 545: Combating Illicit Xylazine Act

The Combating Illicit Xylazine Act places xylazine - a veterinary sedative increasingly found in illicit drug mixtures - into Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act, subjecting it to federal regulation as a controlled substance. It specifically allows veterinary use without requiring registration of the ultimate user (e.g., pet owners or veterinarians) if xylazine is dispensed by a registered veterinarian or pharmacy with a vet prescription and used for animals owned by the user, under their care, or in authorized animal programs. The bill provides a one-year delay for labeling and packaging requirements and a 60-day delay for registration and recordkeeping for veterinary use to ease implementation. Additionally, it adds xylazine to the Arcos tracking system for controlled substances and mandates two congressional reports on illicit use prevalence within 18 months and 4 years of enactment.

HR 2289: American Broadband Deployment Act of 2025

HR 2289, the Proportional Reviews for Broadband Deployment Act, exempts wireless broadband infrastructure deployments from certain federal environmental and historic preservation reviews. Specifically, it removes the requirement for National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) reviews when federal agencies approve "eligible facilities requests" for wireless facilities. This directly affects wireless providers seeking federal permits to build broadband infrastructure, streamlining their approval process by eliminating these specific review requirements. The bill modifies existing law to treat such deployments as not constituting "major Federal actions" under NEPA or "undertakings" under NHPA.

HRES 1170: Supporting the designation of April 10 as "Dolores Huerta Day", in honor of the accomplishments and legacy of the trailblazing labor and civil rights leader Dolores Huerta.

This resolution formally recognizes April 10 as Dolores Huerta Day to honor the civil rights and labor leader's legacy. It does not create a federal holiday or change laws but expresses the House of Representatives' support for the designation. The text highlights Huerta's contributions to farm workers' rights, women's equality, and Latino political representation through a series of "whereas" clauses detailing her achievements. The resolution serves as a commemorative statement rather than a policy change, directing no new actions or funding.
