Track bills, resolutions, and amendments moving through Congress
Emergency Conservation Program Improvement Act of 2025
The bill expands and accelerates emergency restoration aid for wildfire-affected private landowners (including federally- or human-caused fires), improving recovery speed but increasing federal costs, oversight risk, and administrative complexity.
Recover COVID Unemployment Fraud in Banks Act
KIDS Act
The bill strengthens defaults, parental controls, and federal oversight to better protect minors online, but does so at the cost of substantial compliance burdens, increased incentives to collect identity data, legal uncertainty, and reduced state flexibility.
Energy Threat Analysis Center Act of 2026
The bill strengthens grid cybersecurity by creating centralized threat-sharing centers and extending funding, but does so by empowering secrecy and unilateral executive discretion that reduces public transparency, oversight, and guaranteed access to assistance.
Rural and Municipal Utility Cybersecurity Act
This bill directs targeted federal funding and technical assistance to strengthen cybersecurity at small and rural utilities—improving resilience and threat response—but does so with limited funds that may leave some utilities behind, reduces public transparency by exempting shared information from disclosure laws, and requires additional taxpayer spending.
Energy Emergency Leadership Act
The bill strengthens federal leadership, coordination, and hands-on technical support to improve energy infrastructure security and outage response, but it may raise costs for utilities, increase federal obligations, and produce uneven benefits if not properly funded and deployed.
SECURE Grid Act
The bill increases resilience of local electric distribution and supply-chain security for many customers by requiring state planning and supplier coordination, but it shifts costs and administrative/compliance burdens onto states, utilities (especially smaller ones), and potentially diverts grant funds away from physical projects.
TRIA Program Reauthorization Act of 2026
The bill increases clarity and predictability for insurers and regulators and reduces federal fiscal exposure by raising the post‑2028 threshold, but it shifts more risk onto some policyholders and creates procedural traps that could deny coverage and spur litigation.
Health Care Efficiency Through Flexibility Act
The bill makes Medicare ACO quality reporting more flexible and starts a digital reporting pilot (with assistance and public reporting) to modernize and stabilize reporting, but it shifts implementation costs to providers, may weaken incentives for complete data, and grants administrative discretion that could reduce transparency and slow full adoption.
To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 6444 San Fernando Road in Glendale, California, as the "Paul Ignatius Post Office".
The bill renames a local postal facility to honor Paul Ignatius and standardize address naming for the community, delivering symbolic recognition and clearer addressing at the cost of minor administrative expenses and short-term transitional confusion.
To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 340 East 1st Street in Tustin, California, as the "Ursula Ellen Kennedy Post Office Building".
The bill provides symbolic recognition and standardizes the building's official name, benefiting local recognition and administrative clarity, but it creates no policy or funding changes and may provoke local disagreement while using legislative resources.
Lulu’s Law
The bill improves public safety by giving coastal residents timely shark-risk alerts but increases the risk of alert fatigue and adds operational burdens for local emergency managers and regulators.
Financial Exploitation Prevention Act of 2025
The bill strengthens protections and response tools for seniors and adults with disabilities facing financial exploitation but does so by permitting temporary holds and creating opt-in, potentially uneven safeguards that can delay legitimate access to funds and cause privacy and operational side effects.
Main Street Competes Act
SBA Artificial Intelligence Utilization Act of 2026
Small Business Cybersecurity Assistance Evaluation Act of 2026
Oversight and Transparency for Small Business Certifications Act of 2026
COVID Fraud Transparency Act of 2026
The bill increases transparency and oversight of COVID-era SBA loan fraud without adding federal appropriations, improving chances to detect and recover misspent funds but imposing agency reporting burdens, risking reputational harm to borrowers, and leaving implementation potentially underfunded or cost-shifted to nonfederal actors.
Native American Entrepreneurial Opportunity Act
The bill increases targeted SBA support and tailored coordination to boost tribal entrepreneurship and access to contracts, but it raises federal costs, risks duplicating existing efforts, and is time-limited by a seven-year sunset.
DLARA
The bill trades increased transparency, oversight, and clearer loan-timing information (helpful for taxpayers, Congress, and borrowers) against higher recurring administrative costs, potential diversion of SBA staff from operations, and the risk that prioritization rules and reporting complexities could reduce access or equity for some small businesses.
Small Business Technological Advancement Act
The bill expands SBA 7(a) eligibility to let many small businesses finance software, cloud, and AI tools—boosting digitization and operational efficiency—while increasing potential taxpayer exposure and fraud/enforcement and risking a shift in lending away from non-tech investments.
Small Business Lending Fraud Prevention Act
The bill improves transparency and reduces conflicts in SBA lending to protect small businesses and taxpayer trust, but creates additional administrative burden that may slow loans and impose agency compliance costs.
Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.
Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Act
The bill leverages substantial private and state fundraising to expand public exhibits and education about Theodore Roosevelt with up to $50M in federal support, but it exposes taxpayers to potential federal spending, shifts long‑term maintenance costs to non‑Federal entities, and leaves questions about stewardship and accountability for loaned artifacts.
MAP for Broadband Funding Act
The bill improves nationwide broadband planning and reduces duplicative spending by tying federal programs to a single, coordinated funding map and clearer definitions — but it shifts administrative and compliance burdens to agencies, risks locking in map errors that can hurt communities, and raises privacy and flexibility concerns.
Declaration of Independence Reaffirmation Act of 2026
Saving the OOI Act of 2026
Allowing Emancipation Hall to be used for a ceremony to dedicate the Semiquincentennial Congressional Time Capsule on Wednesday, June 24, 2026.
Condemning the dictator of the People's Republic of China, Xi Jinping, for deceit, undermining prospects for peace and security, and orchestrating crimes against humanity.
The resolution raises U.S. awareness and policy pressure on alleged PRC human-rights abuses, cyber threats, narcotics trafficking, and environmental harms—potentially improving safety and accountability—but does so in language that risks diplomatic retaliation, economic disruption, and increased domestic xenophobia.
Stop Secret Spending Act of 2025
The bill meaningfully boosts federal spending transparency and oversight by requiring publication, verification, and reporting of award data (including Other Transaction Agreements), but it creates implementation and ongoing compliance costs for agencies and contractors and will still leave some sensitive awards undisclosed.
