This bill, known as Kayleigh's Law Act of 2026, requires federal courts to issue permanent restraining orders against defendants convicted of certain serious crimes, prohibiting them from contacting their victims for the rest of their lives. The law applies specifically to individuals convicted of violent felonies or felony offenses involving sexual acts, including crimes like child exploitation and human trafficking. Courts must include these orders in sentencing, and violations are treated as contempt of court, while the only way to lift the order is if the conviction is overturned or pardoned. The bill also ensures that victims cannot be charged any fees for obtaining these protective orders and clarifies that the restrictions apply regardless of state laws.

This legislation focuses on creating a structured process for integrating shelter dogs into federal service roles rather than changing broader immigration or border enforcement policies.

This bill requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to establish an independent expert panel within 60 days to review the agency’s Safety Management System (SMS) implementation. The panel will assess how well the FAA complies with its own safety policies, evaluates safety culture, and integrates SMS across all departments (like Air Traffic Organization and Aviation Safety Office), with a focus on four core components: safety policy, risk management, assurance, and promotion. The panel must submit findings and recommendations within 180 days, and the FAA must publish the report publicly, including any dissenting views from panel members. This is a procedural review of the FAA’s existing SMS, not a new safety rule, directly affecting the FAA and aviation stakeholders represented on the panel (e.g., airline pilots, controllers, and industry safety managers).
