Track bills, resolutions, and amendments moving through Congress
Medal of Sacrifice Act
The bill establishes a standardized federal medal and an advisory Commission to honor officers killed in the line of duty, providing formal recognition for grieving families while imposing modest federal administration costs and a strict eligibility rule that could exclude some disputed cases from recognition.
21st Century ROAD to Housing Act
This bill expands and targets federal housing assistance, disaster recovery, and homeowner protections—particularly for low‑ and moderate‑income households—while increasing federal spending, regulatory complexity, and certain market, privacy, and implementation risks that could limit or complicate benefits.
Fiscal Year 2025 Veterans Affairs Major Medical Facility Authorization Act
The bill funds a major new VA bed tower and facility modernization that will improve care and create local construction jobs in St. Louis, but it requires a large federal outlay and carries risks of overruns and opportunity costs for other VA projects.
Lulu’s Law
Redesignate the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center in Casper, Wyoming, as the "Barbara L. Cubin National Historic Trails Interpretive Center".
The bill renames a VA facility to strengthen local identity and ensure consistent federal references, at the modest cost of administrative updates for government agencies and taxpayers.
Designate the General George C. Marshall House in the Commonwealth of Virginia, as an affiliated area of the National Park System, and for other purposes.
The bill preserves public access and provides limited federal support for the Marshall House while keeping local control—but it stops short of full federal ownership or responsibility, which may shift costs and limit certain federal protections or services.
TREY'S Law
The bill prioritizes survivors’ ability to speak and report child sexual abuse by invalidating silence-enforcing clauses and increasing transparency, at the cost of creating legal uncertainty for contracts, higher litigation risk, and potential privacy and administrative burdens for parties and state authorities.
Community Bank Deposit Access Act of 2025
The bill expands liquidity and regulatory clarity for small banks by allowing more custodial deposits and setting rate rules, while trading off increased potential concentration of large deposits and competitive distortions that could raise systemic risk and stress certain institutions.
American Access to Banking Act
The bill reduces friction and increases support for forming federally regulated banks and credit unions—potentially expanding local credit and economic opportunity—but does so by increasing regulatory workload, costs, and the risk of uneven treatment or insufficient oversight that could expose depositors and investors if resources or safeguards fall short.
Keeping Deposits Local Act
The bill provides clearer rules and preserves liquidity and predictable treatment for many banks (and potential benefits for public entities) but increases risks of concentration and systemic exposure while imposing study and potential compliance costs that may disadvantage smaller banks and leave gaps about end‑user effects.
Stopping Indoctrination and Protecting Kids Act
The bill increases parental notice and control over K–8 identity and sex-accommodation decisions and gives schools a clear process to follow, but it also risks harming transgender and nonbinary students' privacy, safety, and participation while creating legal and administrative strains for school districts.
25th Anniversary of 9/11 Commemorative Coin Act
The bill creates an official commemorative coin program that helps memorialize 9/11 and can generate dedicated funds for the National September 11 Memorial and Museum while protecting taxpayers through cost recovery—but it risks administrative costs, higher consumer prices, production inflexibility, and the possibility that intended beneficiaries receive delayed or no funds if sales fall short.
Sloan Canyon Conservation and Lateral Pipeline Act
The bill expands protected acreage and improves Southern Nevada's water infrastructure and administrative clarity, but it expedites approvals, shifts some costs to taxpayers, and risks undermining conservation and local/stakeholder input.
Cape Fox Land Entitlement Finalization Act of 2025
The bill secures and clarifies tribal land transfers and public access—strengthening tribal rights, reducing legal uncertainty, and protecting public/subsistence access—while limiting private/corporate land accumulation and development options and imposing administrative, management, and potential legal costs on federal and local authorities.
Investing in All of America Act of 2025
The bill expands private-capital deployment to targeted small businesses by increasing SBIC leverage exclusions and caps and clarifying rules, but it reduces the ability to count public funds as private capital—weakening public leverage—and limits both the scope and immediacy of benefits for some firms.
Amend chapters 83 and 84 of title 5, United States Code, to authorize an increase of the retirement age for members of the Capitol Police.
Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026
This bill directs substantial new funding and targeted supports to farmers, rural infrastructure, conservation, research, and nutrition programs—improving access, resilience, and innovation—while imposing large new federal commitments, added administrative complexity, and policy changes that may shift benefits toward better‑resourced actors and raise environmental, fiscal, and implementation risks.
Fostering the Future Act
The bill increases access to housing supports and coordination for foster-experienced youth—potentially improving stability—but relies on shifting limited Chafee resources, new administrative work, and guidance (not new funding), creating tradeoffs in existing services and implementation capacity.
Taxpayer Due Process Enhancement Act
The bill strengthens and clarifies taxpayer procedural protections and access to Tax Court review in collection disputes, at the cost of greater litigation and administrative burdens and increased risk that procedural missteps will forfeit tolling protections and refund rights.
Star-Spangled Summit Act of 2026
The bill secures a long-standing local flagpole practice and reduces costs and permitting hurdles for local residents and nonprofits, but it does so by bypassing environmental review, limiting Forest Service discretion, shifting costs to taxpayers, and creating potential fairness concerns about public-land access.
Fisher House Availability Act of 2026
The bill broadens temporary lodging access for veterans and their companions—reducing travel burdens and standardizing eligibility—but may strain limited lodging capacity, increase costs, and produce variable access unless accompanied by additional resources and clear implementation rules.
Veterans Community Care Scheduling Improvement Act
The bill aims to improve coordination, transparency, and short-term pension protections for veterans by creating a unified electronic scheduling/reporting system and delaying a pension cutoff, but it carries implementation costs, transitional access risks, added administrative burdens for community providers, and privacy/interoperability concerns.
Veterans’ Transition to Trucking Act of 2025
The bill centralizes approval of multi-State truck driver apprenticeship programs within the VA to expand and speed GI Bill access and veteran employment in trucking, trading increased federal access and workforce benefits for reduced state control and potential administrative and compliance frictions.
North Dakota Trust Lands Completion Act of 2026
The bill clarifies and streamlines how certain North Dakota and federal lands are classified and exchanged—strengthening tribal protections and preserving lease/grazing continuity—while speeding transfers and removing some procedural protections, which raises environmental, administrative, and fiscal risks for states, agencies, permittees, and nearby communities.
To designate the General George C. Marshall House, in the Commonwealth of Virginia, as an affiliated area of the National Park System, and for other purposes.
The bill preserves and interprets George C. Marshall’s historic house through an affiliated NPS arrangement that improves heritage access and allows federal support without federal ownership, but local managers and communities may shoulder funding, administrative, and visitation-related burdens.
Monitor Accountability Act
Keeping Violent Offenders Off Our Streets Act of 2025
The bill clarifies and expands federal coverage of bail-posting as prohibited assistance—improving prosecution consistency and immigration enforcement—but increases criminal exposure for those who post bail, risks limiting immigrants' access to pre-removal release, and raises enforcement and financial burdens.
Cashless Bail Reporting Act
The bill increases federal transparency about local pretrial release practices—helping communities, victims, and officials identify and pressure jurisdictions for change—but that same transparency and broad AG discretion risk politicized labeling, reputational harm, and policies that could increase pretrial detention for vulnerable defendants.
Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025
This bill aims to create a comprehensive federal framework that promotes clearer classifications, custody protections, and pathways for legitimate digital‑asset activity to expand market participation and safety, but it does so by imposing substantial compliance costs, carving out jurisdictional limits that risk oversight gaps, and creating tradeoffs that could reduce some investor protections and push activities offshore.
Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act of 2025
The bill broadens fuel options and restores compliance assets for eligible small refineries—reducing industry uncertainty and supporting some businesses—while raising risks of worse local air quality, shifting compliance costs in fuel markets, and reducing procedural transparency.
