HR 9470: SAFER Health Act of 2026

The SAFER Health Act of 2026 strengthens privacy protections for individuals by restricting how healthcare providers and insurers can share information related to abortions, miscarriages, stillbirths, and ectopic pregnancies. Under this bill, these entities are generally prohibited from disclosing such data in any legal proceedings unless the individual gives specific permission or the disclosure is necessary for a professional liability defense or investigating physical harm when the individual cannot consent. The legislation also requires health IT systems to separate this sensitive data from other records and mandates that state laws offering weaker privacy protections be overridden by federal rules. Finally, the Department of Health and Human Services will be tasked with updating existing regulations and running a public outreach campaign to inform healthcare organizations and patients about these new privacy requirements.

HR 9465: Combat Pay Protection Act

The Combat Pay Protection Act establishes a new formula to increase specific special and incentive pay for members of the U.S. Armed Forces, including those in the reserve components. For the first year after the bill becomes law, pay will rise by the greater of the inflation rate or the percentage increase in basic pay, while subsequent years will use a similar calculation based on inflation or basic pay growth. This adjustment applies to bonuses and allowances defined in the law and overrides any existing legal caps on maximum pay amounts. The Department of Defense is also required to publish a detailed table listing the specific pay types and the calculated increase amounts by the end of the year the bill is enacted.

HR 9458: Wage Theft Prevention and Wage Recovery Act

This bill, known as the Wage Theft Prevention and Wage Recovery Act, aims to combat unpaid wages by strengthening penalties for employers who violate federal labor laws and providing workers with better tools to recover stolen money. It directly affects employees across industries who are currently at risk of not receiving their full compensation for hours worked, tips, or benefits. Key provisions require employers to provide detailed paystubs and final payments within 14 days of termination, increase civil fines for violations, and extend the time limit for workers to file lawsuits from two to four years. Additionally, the legislation creates a new grant program to fund community partnerships between the Department of Labor and local organizations to educate workers, assist with claims, and improve enforcement efforts.

HR 9453: End EPA Abuse Act of 2026

The End EPA Abuse Act of 2026 amends the Clean Air Act to limit the Environmental Protection Agency's authority to create new regulations. Specifically, it prohibits the EPA Administrator from issuing rules that restrict the sale or use of internal combustion engine vehicles, force power plants to switch fuel sources, or reduce the reliability of the electric grid. The bill also bars the agency from mandating technologies that are commercially unavailable, too expensive without subsidies, or technically unfeasible due to geographic or infrastructure limitations. Additionally, the law prevents the EPA from expanding its regulatory power beyond what Congress originally intended. These changes directly affect the EPA's ability to enforce environmental standards and impact industries such as automotive manufacturing and energy production.

HR 9397: Premium Transparency Act

The Premium Transparency Act requires health insurers and Medicare Advantage organizations to publicly disclose how they spend premium revenue, specifically detailing the percentages allocated to claims, overhead costs, and retained profits.

This research program aims to create standardized definitions and reporting guidelines that account for different power systems, cooling setups, and varying workload demands. The bill also requires the agency to coordinate with industry experts and international partners to establish global standards while sharing data to improve future energy demand forecasts. To support these efforts, the legislation authorizes $10 million in funding for each of the fiscal years 2027 through 2029.

The legislation requires these task forces to include representatives from various sectors, including developers, media organizations, and labor groups, and mandates regular reporting to Congress on their progress. Additionally, the bill emphasizes the need to protect user privacy when implementing these new tracking and labeling systems.
