S 5393: FABRIC Act

The FABRIC Act amends the Fair Labor Standards Act to prohibit piece-rate pay for garment industry workers, requiring employers to pay at least the federal minimum hourly wage while still allowing incentive bonuses. It introduces joint and several liability for brand guarantors, making them financially responsible for labor law violations committed by their contractors or subcontractors, with an affirmative defense available if the brand can prove it had no knowledge of the violation. To enhance oversight, the bill mandates that garment manufacturers and contractors register annually with the Department of Labor, providing detailed information about ownership and employee history in exchange for a certificate that must be posted on-site. The legislation also establishes a new Undersecretary of the Garment Industry within the Department of Labor and authorizes $100 million in competitive grants to support domestic manufacturing, workforce development, and facility improvements.

S 5392: TEAM USA Act

The TEAM USA Act would amend the Higher Education Act to limit the number of international student athletes on varsity sports teams at colleges that receive federal financial assistance. Under this bill, no more than 20 percent of a team's official roster could consist of international student athletes, or just one such athlete if the team has fewer than ten members. The legislation defines an international student athlete as someone who is not a U.S. national or permanent resident, or who receives athletic financial aid from a foreign Olympic or Paralympic committee. Institutions would be required to report their roster demographics annually to the Secretary of Education and relevant athletic associations, with these rules taking effect for the 2029-2030 academic year.

S 5390: End Trump’s Tariff Tax Act

The End Trump's Tariff Tax Act terminates specific import duties imposed under recent trade investigations and repeals two statutory authorities used to impose tariffs for forced labor violations, balance-of-payments issues, and foreign discrimination. The bill requires the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner to automatically refund all duties collected during specified periods in 2026, along with interest, without requiring importers to submit formal requests or documentation. Importers who paid these tariffs will receive their money back, with small businesses prioritized for payment where practicable.

S 5389: Ending Presidential Corruption in Banking Act

The Ending Presidential Corruption in Banking Act prohibits federal banking regulators from approving new charters, licenses, or deposit insurance for banks where high-ranking government officials hold a controlling interest. The bill defines covered persons to include the President, Vice President, Members of Congress, senior executive branch appointees, and their immediate family members, banning them from owning more than 10 percent of a bank's voting securities or serving as senior executives. It requires regulators to terminate existing banking charters and licenses for institutions that received approval after January 20, 2025, while such officials maintained control. Additionally, the law makes it unlawful for the President, Vice President, or their spouses and children to hold any controlling influence over a bank, mandating immediate termination of those banks' federal privileges if compliance is not achieved within 30 days of inauguration.

S 5388: Student Loan Forgiveness for Farmers and Ranchers Act

The Student Loan Forgiveness for Farmers and Ranchers Act would amend the Higher Education Act to cancel the remaining balance on eligible federal student loans for borrowers who work full-time in agriculture. To qualify, individuals must be employed as a farmer, rancher, or manager of a qualified farm or ranch and belong to specific groups such as beginning farmers, veterans, women, minorities, or socially disadvantaged producers. Borrowers must make 120 monthly payments on their loans while maintaining continuous full-time employment in the sector to receive the forgiveness.

S 5387: DCA Air Safety Act

The DCA Air Safety Act mandates that the Federal Aviation Administration reduce the hourly arrival rate at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport to a maximum of 28 aircraft within 90 days and convert this limit into binding 30-minute interval caps to prevent traffic clustering. The bill also requires the permanent elimination of 30 existing slot exemptions over a five-year phase-in period from 2028 to 2032, with at least 26 of these being beyond-perimeter slots that allow flights to destinations outside the local area. To oversee these changes, the legislation establishes a permanent commission comprising federal officials and regional leaders from Virginia, Maryland, and Washington D.C., which will conduct ongoing safety studies and report recommendations to Congress every two years.

S 5386: Don’t STEAL Act

The Don't STEAL Act amends the Fair Labor Standards Act to require employers to pay workers at least the higher amount specified in their employment contracts or by federal and state wage laws, ensuring that contractual agreements are not undercut by statutory minimums. This provision directly affects employees engaged in commerce who have signed contracts promising specific compensation rates. The bill also establishes criminal penalties for willful wage theft, allowing for fines and imprisonment of up to five years if the unpaid wages exceed $1,000, or one year if they do not. Additionally, it directs that any fines collected from these violations be used by the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division to fund further enforcement efforts.

The Telehealth Reporting and Transparency Act of 2026 requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to submit an annual report to Congress detailing Medicare claims for telehealth services. The report must include data on claim volumes, geographic distribution, patient demographics such as age and income level, and potential barriers to access like broadband availability.
