Track bills, resolutions, and amendments moving through Congress
Hershel ‘Woody' Williams National Medal of Honor Monument Location Act
The bill creates a prominent, accessible national monument to honor Medal of Honor recipients and preserves memorial review standards, while potentially increasing taxpayer costs and constraining space, landscape, and site-selection flexibility on the National Mall.
LACA
The bill formally recognizes College Station as a federal judicial location, which clarifies venue and may improve local access, at the cost of only small administrative updates for court operations without changing jurisdiction or funding.
Prison Staff Safety Enhancement Act
The bill aims to make BOP workplaces safer and more consistent by forcing OIG recommendations and national standards, but it may raise taxpayer costs, disrupt operations during rapid implementation, and could fall short if the Bureau does not fully comply.
Kayleigh’s Law Act of 2026
The bill strengthens and funds free, enforceable lifetime protections for sexual and violent crime victims, but does so by imposing broad, potentially hard-to-modify communication bans that raise free-speech, due-process, and administrative-burden concerns for defendants, third parties, and federal justice officials.
NDO Fairness Act
The bill adds some procedural protections and reporting requirements around secret nondisclosure orders but expands and prolongs secrecy in ways that delay notice to individuals, limit external oversight, and risk chilling journalism and lawful speech.
To make technical amendments to update statutory references to certain provisions classified to title 2, United States Code, title 50, United States Code, and title 52, United States Code, and to correct related technical errors.
To make improvements in the enactment of title 41, United States Code, into a positive law title and to improve the Code.
To make improvements in the enactment of title 54, United States Code, into a positive law title and to correct related technical errors.
To make revisions in title 51, United States Code, as necessary to keep the title current, and to make technical amendments to improve the United States Code.
The bill modernizes and clarifies U.S. space law and increases NASA transparency and ISS research access—boosting oversight, research, and mission security—but does so at the cost of added administrative burdens, potential taxpayer costs, procurement and program tradeoffs, and some legal/judicial risks.
To make technical amendments to update statutory references to certain provisions which were formerly classified to chapters 14 and 19 of title 25, United States Code, and to correct related technical errors.
To make technical amendments to title 49, United States Code, as necessary to improve the Code.
The bill clarifies statutory citations and grant-condition language for state and local governments and applicants, which should reduce legal ambiguity, but it risks narrowing eligible loan uses and creates short-term implementation uncertainty until the exact text is published.
To make technical amendments to update statutory references to provisions reclassified to title 34, United States Code, and to correct related technical errors.
This bill primarily cleans up and modernizes statutory citations and definitions—reducing legal ambiguity and improving administration across many programs—but the heavy reliance on strike‑and‑insert edits and unspecified replacement text creates substantial short‑term legal uncertainty, administrative costs, and risks of altered eligibility or unfunded expansions that could harm beneficiaries and impose costs on governments and taxpayers.
To amend chapters 4, 10, and 131 of title 5, United States Code, as necessary to keep those chapters current and to correct related technical errors.
The bill strengthens inspector general independence and broadens transparency and prison oversight—improving accountability and safety—but does so at the cost of added administrative burden, privacy risks, and reduced executive flexibility in personnel/security situations.
Protecting American Industry and Labor from International Trade Crimes Act of 2026
The bill strengthens DOJ's tools, coordination, and funding to detect and prosecute trade‑related crimes—improving enforcement and border security—while imposing higher compliance and reporting burdens on businesses, new taxpayer costs, administrative strains, and increased legal risk for traders and importers.
Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Act
The bill mobilizes substantial non-federal and state investment and clarifies governance to enable a presidential library while shifting ongoing operational responsibility to non-federal parties, exposing taxpayers to up to $50M in start-up grants and concentrating oversight in the Department of the Interior.
Lunar Landing Day Act
The bill establishes an annual Lunar Landing Day to encourage education and public interest in space with symbolic benefits for students and communities, while imposing no new funding and only minor administrative burdens on schools and governments.
Northern Border Security Enhancement and Review Act
The bill increases federal situational awareness and accountability for Northern Border security through recurring analyses, strategy updates, and performance measures while avoiding a direct new appropriation — but it raises civil‑liberties and transparency concerns and may struggle to be implemented effectively because it provides no new funding, shifting costs or causing delays.
National Plan for Epilepsy Act
The bill centralizes and coordinates federal action on epilepsy — improving research, care, and patient input — but will likely require new spending, create administrative and privacy burdens, and may take time to deliver benefits unless further statutory changes are made.
Diversity Jurisdiction Inflation Adjustment Act
Raising the diversity-jurisdiction threshold to $150,000 reduces federal court workload and modestly lowers federal litigation costs, but shifts many mid-value disputes to state courts, limiting federal access and potentially raising costs for affected plaintiffs.
Accelerating Access to Critical Therapies for ALS Reauthorization Act of 2026
The bill prolongs and strengthens oversight, transparency, and research-informed access for ALS and related conditions—potentially improving patient access and program effectiveness—at the cost of more reporting, administrative burden, legal ambiguity in one statutory change, and higher taxpayer-funded program costs.
Space Commerce Advisory Committee Act
The bill centralizes space policy authority at the Department of Commerce and creates an expert advisory body to increase clarity, inclusion, and technical guidance for U.S. space activities—benefiting industry, territories, and policymakers—while raising the risk of expanded regulatory reach, legal disputes, industry influence over policy, and added costs.
Officer John Barnes and Chief Michael Ansbro Public Safety Officers' Benefit Program Expansion Act of 2026
The bill speeds and simplifies benefit access for public safety officers, 9/11 survivors, and their families through deadlines, interim payments, reliance on expert certifications, and stronger GAO-driven reforms — but does so at the cost of higher near-term taxpayer spending, greater administrative burden, and increased risk of erroneous approvals or legal friction unless resources and safeguards are carefully managed.
USMMA Athletics Act of 2026
The bill enables private revenue and retained fees to bolster and sustain U.S. Merchant Marine Academy athletics and adds transparency measures, but it increases fiscal exposure for taxpayers and raises procurement, property‑use, and conflict‑of‑interest risks that will need tight safeguards.
Youth Poisoning Protection Act
The bill reduces poisoning risk by banning consumer products with ≥10% sodium nitrite, but imposes compliance costs on manufacturers and retailers, limits access for some legitimate users, and creates administrative burdens for federal agencies.
Expand the sharing of information with respect to suspected violations of intellectual property rights in trade.
The bill strengthens brand owners' ability to identify and stop infringing imports and increases transparency about data sharing, but at the cost of broader disclosure of nonpublic commercial information that raises privacy, competitive, and compliance risks for importers, marketplaces, and logistics providers.
Foreign Robocall Elimination Act
The bill strengthens tools, data‑sharing, and enforcement to cut unlawful international robocalls and reduce consumer harm, but it increases privacy and legal‑remedy risks, can impose reputational and financial costs on providers (especially smaller entrants), and requires federal resources and administrative oversight to implement.
Federal Building Threat Notification Act
The bill improves alerting, accountability, and preparedness for violent threats at federal facilities but requires agencies to absorb implementation costs and risks uneven or disruptive implementation if resources or alert thresholds are not well calibrated.
Kay Hagan Tick Reauthorization Act
Extends federal support and authorization for vector-borne disease surveillance, research, and coordination through 2030 to preserve public-health capacity, while increasing federal spending and shifting decision-making toward HHS with some loss of transparency and external collaboration.
DeOndra Dixon INCLUDE Project Act of 2026
The bill promotes coordinated research, trials, and recognition that can improve care, training, and social inclusion for people with Down syndrome, but it does not guarantee immediate services, requires additional funding, and raises risks around resource trade-offs and privacy.
Common Cents Act
The bill aims to cut minting and cash-transaction costs and provide orderly controls around discontinuing coins, but it shifts small costs and administrative burdens onto cash users, small businesses, and federal agencies and creates legal/operational frictions during the transition.
