HR 10445: Inspectors General Modernization Act

The Inspectors General Modernization Act would extend the standard term of service for federal Inspectors General to ten years, up from their current shorter terms. It also restricts the President's ability to remove these officials, allowing dismissal only for cause rather than at will. These changes apply to both the Office of Inspector General and other independent inspector general offices established under Title 5 of the United States Code.

HR 10444: Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act of 2026

The Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act of 2026 prohibits non-physician entities from owning, controlling, or employing licensed medical professionals, requiring that medical practices be majority-owned and controlled by the clinicians who work there. The bill grants physicians and other advanced practice providers protections against non-compete agreements and bans health care providers from interfering with clinical judgment through administrative controls such as limiting patient visit times or dictating diagnostic codes. Additionally, it imposes strict restrictions on management services organizations to prevent them from exercising de facto control over medical practices, including prohibitions on controlling hiring, compensation, and billing decisions. Enforcement is handled by the Federal Trade Commission, which can treat violations as unfair business practices, while individuals and state attorneys general are also granted the right to sue for damages and injunctive relief.

HR 10443: American Procurement Improvement Act of 2026

The American Procurement Improvement Act of 2026 modernizes the AbilityOne Program by renaming it the Commission for the Employment of Individuals Who Are Blind or Have Significant Disabilities and updating its statutory framework to better support employment opportunities for people with disabilities. The bill expands the definition of eligible workers to include those with significant disabilities beyond blindness, while requiring qualified nonprofit agencies to maintain a workforce where at least 51 percent of direct labor hours are performed by these participating employees. Key provisions mandate that agencies provide professional development and pay participating employees rates consistent with their nondisabled peers, and they establish new rules for adding or removing products from the federal procurement list, including time-limited additions for pilot projects. Additionally, the legislation introduces mechanisms to monitor involuntary terminations of workers, allows for governmentwide contract vehicles to improve procurement efficiency, and ensures that intergovernmental support agreements cannot be used to bypass these federal hiring requirements.

It specifically targets unfinished infrastructure and mitigation projects resulting from Hurricane Irma, Hurricane Maria, the 2020 earthquakes, and Hurricane Fiona. The legislation allows recipients to request further time extensions after 2035 if needed. Additionally, it requires the Federal Emergency Management Agency to submit annual reports to Congress detailing project progress, projected completion dates, and any obstacles hindering recovery efforts.

HR 10440: REACH Act

The REACH Act creates a new $10,000 annual tax credit for eligible rural health care providers who work at least 900 hours in a rural area. This benefit applies to primary care practitioners, mental health professionals, nurses, and medical residents participating in approved training programs. The credit is subject to an income limit, reducing the amount by $1 for every dollar of adjusted gross income over $170,000 until it reaches zero. These provisions are set to take effect for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2026, and will expire for years beginning after December 31, 2033.

HR 10439: Veterans and Consumers Fair Credit Act

The Veterans and Consumers Fair Credit Act extends the protections of the Military Lending Act to all consumers, not just active-duty military members and their dependents. This change caps interest rates on most consumer credit products at 36 percent per year and restricts certain fees and terms for loans extended by creditors. The bill excludes specific types of credit from these limits, including residential mortgages, auto loans secured by the vehicle being purchased, and loans made by federal credit unions that comply with existing usury laws. State attorneys general and regulators are granted authority to enforce these new rules through civil actions, while the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is required to issue implementing regulations within one year of enactment.

HR 10438: SYLLABLE Act of 2026

The SYLLABLE Act of 2026 authorizes the Department of Education to award up to five grants over a five-year period to partnerships consisting of local school districts, early childhood education programs, and technical assistance providers. These grants are designed to fund dual language immersion programs for children from low-income families, including English learners and minority students, serving them from preschool through fifth grade. To receive funding, applicants must demonstrate that their programs use a partner language for at least half of the instructional day and include rigorous assessment systems, professional development for teachers, and strong community engagement. The bill appropriates $15 million for fiscal year 2027 and such sums as necessary for the following four years to support these initiatives and conduct evaluations of their effectiveness.

HR 10437: FLUENT Act

The FLUENT Act authorizes a competitive grant program to provide family literacy services to households with English language learners, specifically targeting families that include at least one child under the age of eight. The Department of Education would award grants ranging from $150,000 to $1,000,000 to eligible providers, such as schools and nonprofit organizations, for periods of up to five years. These funds must be used for research-based instruction grounded in the science of reading, with a requirement that programs prioritize families facing the greatest economic and educational needs. The bill also mandates that grantees track specific outcomes, including improvements in English proficiency, primary language skills, and caregiver workforce readiness, while reserving federal funds for program evaluation and technical assistance.

HR 10436: Reaching English Learners Act

The Reaching English Learners Act establishes a competitive grant program to help colleges and universities improve how they prepare teachers to instruct students who are learning English. These grants, which last up to five years, require partnerships between higher education institutions and high-need school districts or early childhood programs to develop curricula that include evidence-based teaching strategies such as bilingual and immersion education. Recipients must cover at least half of the program costs with non-federal funds and prioritize recruiting teacher candidates from underrepresented groups or those who are former English learners. The law also mandates that these partnerships evaluate their progress in placing new teachers in high-need areas and report findings to the Secretary of Education.

HR 10435: Lipan Apache Tribe of Texas Recognition Act

The Lipan Apache Tribe of Texas Recognition Act grants federal recognition to the Lipan Apache Tribe of Texas, thereby extending all applicable federal laws and benefits for federally recognized tribes to its members. To access these services, the tribe must submit its current membership roll and governing documents to the Secretary of the Interior, who is required to verify that the enrollment meets the criteria set in the tribe's own rules within two years. Once verification is complete, the Secretaries of the Interior and Health and Human Services will work with the tribe to determine specific service needs and establish a designated area for delivering federal programs. This legislation aims to resolve the lack of formal status that previously prevented the tribe from receiving government support and benefits available to other recognized Native American groups.

HR 10434: Empower Energy Exporting Communities Act

The Empower Energy Exporting Communities Act creates a new trust fund within the U.S. Treasury to support local infrastructure and public services in areas affected by energy exports. The fund is financed by appropriating 3 percent of net revenues collected from major oil and gas companies under existing tax laws. Eligible recipients include counties, municipalities, parishes, or Tribal communities located within 50 miles of a major port used for exporting oil, gas, or related products. Funding distributed to each port region is capped based on that region's share of total nationwide energy exports, ensuring allocations reflect local export activity levels.
