Track bills, resolutions, and amendments moving through Congress
Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2027
The bill eases costs and cash‑flow for apparel importers and preserves short-term customs operations and trade preferences (notably AGOA), trading off reduced tariff revenue, added competition for domestic textile producers, and administrative and policy uncertainty from short extensions and retroactive relief.
To remove restrictions from a parcel of land in Paducah, Kentucky.
The bill clears title so a local government can transfer the parcel to a nonprofit for community use, but it also removes federal oversight and imposes restrictive sale/use conditions that may delay redevelopment and limit alternative economic uses.
Doug LaMalfa Federal Disaster Tax Relief Certainty Act
The bill expands tax relief and tax-free payments for many disaster and wildfire victims — including non-itemizers and retroactive wildfire sufferers — but does so at the cost of reduced federal revenue, date-limited eligibility that can exclude some victims, and tax rules that may limit other deductions or raise future capital gains for property owners.
National Emergency Medical Services Memorial Extension Act
The bill standardizes a short title to make citation and public discussion easier, at the cost of modest administrative updates and a small need for citation verification by legal researchers.
Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026
The bill gives early childhood teachers and programs a tax deduction that boosts classroom support and teacher income, but it reduces federal revenue and adds compliance and potential audit uncertainty for providers.
Stop Secret Spending Act of 2025
The bill increases transparency and oversight for many federal awards and improves data quality, but delivers incomplete coverage and imposes new administrative costs and transitional delays that leave some spending and lower-tier recipients still opaque.
Diversity Jurisdiction Inflation Adjustment Act
Raising the federal diversity jurisdiction threshold to $150,000 reduces federal court caseloads and modestly lowers federal litigation spending but removes the federal forum for many mid-value disputes, shifting costs and procedural burdens onto state courts and the plaintiffs involved.
Officer John Barnes and Chief Michael Ansbro Public Safety Officers' Benefit Program Expansion Act of 2026
The bill speeds and increases near‑term financial support and program transparency for public safety officers and their families (through interim payments, a new partial‑disability benefit, outreach, and stronger oversight) but raises taxpayer costs, increases administrative burdens, and elevates the risk of improper payments when external certifications are given decisive weight.
Expand the sharing of information with respect to suspected violations of intellectual property rights in trade.
The bill increases Customs' ability to detect and stop infringing or unsafe imports by expanding data sharing, but does so at the cost of greater privacy, business-confidentiality, competitive risk, and compliance burdens for sellers, marketplaces, and logistics firms.
Federal Building Threat Notification Act
The bill improves real‑time threat alerts and formalizes accountability and preparedness for FPS‑protected federal buildings, at the cost of added administrative expense and the risk of uneven implementation or operational disruptions from overly sensitive alerting.
Common Cents Act
The bill reduces government minting and small-coin handling costs and speeds cash transactions while trading off small but widespread rounding losses for cash users, payroll/accounting complications, and modest compliance and numismatic-market impacts.
