Track bills, resolutions, and amendments moving through Congress
Improving Social Security’s Service to Victims of Identity Theft Act
The bill centralizes and professionalizes SSA handling of SSN misuse—improving continuity and transparency for victims—but increases administrative costs and relies on effective implementation to deliver promised benefits.
Billion Dollar Boondoggle Act of 2025
The bill improves transparency and standardized reporting on major federal project cost and schedule problems—helping taxpayers and Congress detect and oversee overruns—but it creates new administrative costs, disclosure risks for contractors, and potential political pressure that could disrupt long‑running programs.
Illegal Red Snapper and Tuna Enforcement Act
Crow Tribe Water Rights Settlement Amendments Act of 2025
The bill directs dedicated funding and federal account management to improve Crow Tribe water infrastructure and preserves tribal ownership, but shifts ongoing operation and maintenance costs to the Tribe and introduces potential delays and reduced timing control from Secretary‑managed accounts.
Retire through Ownership Act
The bill gives ESOP fiduciaries clearer, usable appraisal standards that can reduce disputes and speed transactions, at the cost of increased risk of lower valuation scrutiny (and potential overvaluation) and lingering uncertainty for past transactions until regulators act.
GLRI Act of 2026
The bill secures predictable, multi-year funding to improve Great Lakes water quality and support local restoration jobs, at the cost of $2.5 billion in federal spending and risks of appropriation delays and reduced funds for other priorities.
MORE American Fuel Act of 2026
The bill accelerates the start and regulatory alignment of uranium enrichment projects and increases local notice, but does so by allowing pre-license construction that raises community safety, financial, and procedural-risk concerns and places greater strain on NRC oversight.
Wildfire Emissions Prevention Act of 2026
The bill speeds and simplifies exceptional-event determinations and funds smoke-mitigation for schools and communities—helping tribes and reducing state burdens—while raising credible risks that faster deemed approvals, funding limits, and implementation delays could weaken air-quality protections or leave many high-need communities without support.
Making America's Food Safer Act
The bill improves public‑health responsiveness and speeds market access by expanding accredited third‑party certifications, accelerating data sharing, and enabling faster removal of dangerous imports — but it increases reliance on third parties, raises small‑business costs, creates privacy and confidentiality risks, and requires more oversight and administrative work to prevent gaps or misuse.
Protect College Sports Act of 2026
The bill meaningfully expands athlete rights, health protections, and predictable revenue/voice for student‑athletes, but does so at the cost of substantial new funding, administrative requirements, and much greater litigation and compliance exposure for schools, conferences, and potentially taxpayers.
Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2026
Extending the federal terrorism insurance backstop protects businesses and stabilizes the insurance market but maintains taxpayer exposure and may damp private-market solutions while creating potential timing-related cost shifts for insurers and policyholders.
Falun Gong and Victims of Forced Organ Harvesting Protection Act
The bill strengthens legal definitions, reporting, and a sanctions mechanism to hold perpetrators accountable and inform U.S. policy, but it relies on limited administrative resources, time‑limited authorities, and narrow sanction tools that may weaken long‑term deterrence, raise compliance costs, and risk diplomatic or research fallout.
Safe Access to Cash Act of 2026
The bill strengthens federal tools to deter and punish ATM-related theft and violence and clarifies protections for ATM property, but it expands federal reach and penalties in ways that raise taxpayer costs, increase enforcement and compliance burdens, and create legal questions that could reduce prosecutions or produce uneven sentencing.
Unlocking Native Lands and Opportunities for Commerce and Key Economic Developments Act of 2025
The bill increases tribal ability to grant and expedite rights‑of‑way and simplifies approvals for federally funded projects, but does so by imposing federal conditions and reducing certain environmental and preservation reviews and liability protections—trading some federal safeguards for faster tribal land‑use authority.
Health Care Cybersecurity and Resiliency Act of 2026
The bill strengthens health‑sector cybersecurity—reducing breach risk, improving coordination, and funding technical support—at the cost of new federal spending, significant compliance burdens (especially for small and rural providers), and some privacy/vendor‑risk tradeoffs that will require careful implementation and sustained funding to avoid capacity gaps.
Albuquerque Indian School Act of 2026
The bill transfers a small parcel of land into federal trust to give 19 Pueblos clearer legal title and access to federal benefits and protections, while limiting certain economic uses (notably Class I–III gaming) and preserving preexisting encumbrances and a federal easement that constrain development flexibility.
Crystal Reservoir Conveyance Act
The bill hands local authorities title, control, and public recreational protections for the reservoir—benefiting local water management and recreation—while shifting ongoing costs, legal obligations, and development restrictions onto the City and its residents.
National Park System Long-Term Lease Investment Act
The bill makes it easier and quicker for park managers to extend existing leases—preserving incumbent businesses and reducing near-term administrative burden—but at the cost of reduced competition, less public input, and a risk of locking in terms that may not best serve taxpayers or future procurement opportunities.
Snow Water Supply Forecasting Program Reauthorization Act of 2026
The bill provides stable funding and modern measurement and modeling tools to improve snowpack monitoring and multi‑basin water planning, but it increases federal spending, reduces a layer of congressional reporting oversight, may shift resources away from small local projects, and grants broad discretion over allowable technologies.
Wyoming Education Trust Modernization Act
Tribal Access to Electronic Evidence Act
The bill extends modern digital‑evidence and SCA enforcement tools and legal clarity to Tribal governments—strengthening Tribal law enforcement—but it expands government access to communications on Tribal lands and raises compliance and liability costs for service providers.
Floodplain Enhancement and Recovery Act
The bill makes it easier and cheaper to carry out floodplain and habitat restoration by broadening eligible projects and waiving certain fees, but it trades off modest increases in localized flood risk, potential revenue and administrative impacts for FEMA and local governments, and some legal ambiguity until federal guidance is issued.
Quinault Indian Nation Land Transfer Act
The bill transfers ~72 acres into trust for the Quinault Indian Nation and clarifies federal jurisdiction with required contamination disclosures, while leaving cleanup responsibility uncertain, barring gaming-based development, and potentially reducing some federal conservation/recreation protections.
Indian Health Service Emergency Claims Parity Act
The bill shortens the notification deadline for most American Indians to speed reimbursement and clarify deadlines while preserving extra time for elderly/disabled patients, trading faster coordination and clearer rules against greater risk of missed payments and added burdens for remote tribal communities and providers.
Dennis John Benigno Traumatic Brain Injury Program Reauthorization Act of 2026
Aviation Medication Transparency Act of 2026
The bill improves transparency and clinician–FAA communication about medication rules for safety-sensitive aviation workers, at the cost of potentially stricter restrictions and administrative burdens that could delay or disrupt some workers' ability to be certified and return to duty.
John A. Hauser Mental Health in Aviation Act
The bill seeks to improve mental-health support, speed medical certification, and modernize FAA medical policy for aviation personnel—potentially enhancing safety and workforce resilience—but does so with new costs, added administrative burdens, privacy risks, and possible safety/perception trade-offs from changing clearance standards.
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.
To require the Secretary of Agriculture to convey the Pleasant Valley Ranger District Administrative Site to Gila County, Arizona.
The bill transfers ~232.9 acres of National Forest land to Gila County at no purchase cost to enable local veteran services and planning control, while shifting financial risks and removing public forest land from federal management—trading expanded veteran-focused facilities for reduced public access and increased local fiscal and legal liability.
License to Drill Act
The bill streamlines and speeds fee transfers and reduces administrative burden, but risks narrowing how funds are allocated—potentially lowering payments to states and reducing transparency for taxpayers and recipients.
