This resolution designates January 2022 as "National Mentoring Month" to raise awareness about mentoring's benefits for youth development and community engagement. It highlights how mentoring improves academic achievement, reduces delinquency, and supports vulnerable youth, but does not create new policies or allocate funding.

HRES 874: Supporting the designation of a National Year of Humiliation, Fasting, and Prayer.

This non-binding resolution (HRES 874) calls for designating a National Year of Humiliation, Fasting, and Prayer. It expresses support for a symbolic observance where Americans would collectively pray, fast, and reflect on their "dependence upon the overruling power of God" and "repent of pride and selfishness." The resolution does not create legal requirements or policy changes; it is purely a symbolic gesture based on religious framing of American history and founding principles. It was introduced by Rep. Linda S. Rodgers (R-WA) in the 117th Congress (2021-2022).

HR 6409: Repeal CFPB Act

HR 6409, the "Repeal CFPB Act," would eliminate the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) by repealing the 2010 law that created it. This would restore all previous financial regulations to the agencies that managed them before the CFPB's creation, such as the Federal Reserve. The bill directly affects consumer financial products like mortgages, credit cards, and loans, shifting regulatory oversight back to other federal agencies. It does not create new rules but reverses the structural change established by the 2010 Act.
