Track bills, resolutions, and amendments moving through Congress

The resolution increases public recognition of African American history and legitimizes attention to past injustices, but it is symbolic without funding and may prompt contested debates over curriculum and commemoration.
Condemning Beijing's destruction of Hong Kong's democracy and rule of law.
The bill increases U.S. leverage to punish rights abuses and curb sanctions evasion in Hong Kong—helping dissidents and U.S. national security—but risks economic disruption and heightened diplomatic conflict with China that could hurt trade and complicate international cooperation.
Honoring the life of Nebraska community leader Howard L. Hawks.
The resolution celebrates and draws attention to private philanthropic support that benefits universities and community nonprofits, but it is purely honorary—creating no new public funding—and may divert focus from debates over public investment in these services.
Designating the week of February 24 through February 28, 2025, as "Public Schools Week".
The resolution spotlights and affirms support for public schools and inclusive education goals, but its ceremonial nature provides no new funding or mandates—so benefits are largely symbolic and could increase expectations without delivering resources.
Expressing support for the designation of February 23, 2025, to March 1, 2025, as "National Fentanyl Awareness Week" and raising awareness of the negative impacts of fentanyl in the United States.
The bill increases attention to fentanyl's lethal risk and could strengthen prevention, testing, and enforcement coordination, but it also risks steering resources toward punitive border and law-enforcement responses and fueling fear that may undercut treatment, harm reduction, and civil liberties.
An original resolution authorizing expenditures by committees of the Senate for the periods March 1, 2025, through September 30, 2025, October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, and October 1, 2026, through February 28, 2027.
The resolution preserves Senate committee oversight and provides predictable, limited funding and authority to hire staff and consultants through Feb 28, 2027—supporting continuity and expertise—while increasing taxpayer-funded contingent spending and imposing caps, procedural limits, and some governance choices that may constrain expertise, divert agency staff, and reduce certain financial controls.

Acknowledging the third anniversary of Russia's further invasion of Ukraine and expressing support for the people of Ukraine.

An original resolution authorizing expenditures by the Committee on Foreign Relations.
The resolution ensures the Senate Foreign Relations Committee can continue funded oversight work through Feb 28, 2027—providing staff, training, and faster operations—while increasing taxpayer-funded Senate operating costs and loosening some administrative controls, which raises risks of higher spending or reduced external agency capacity.
Expressing support for the designation of February 15 through February 22, 2025, as "National FFA Week", recognizing the important role of the National FFA Organization in developing the next generation of leaders who will change the world, and celebrating the 90th anniversary of New Farmers of America and the 75th anniversary of the Future Farmers of America Federal charter.

The resolution raises the profile of speech and debate—potentially boosting student skills and school engagement—while remaining symbolic, offering no funding, and risking the appearance of favoring one nonprofit.

Celebrating the 80th anniversary of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the premier public health institute of the United States.

Designating August 21, 2026, as "Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day".

To authorize testimony and representation by the Senate Legal Counsel.
The resolution strengthens Senate control over representation and access to evidence—protecting employees and institutional prerogatives and enabling conditional cooperation with investigations—while risking delays to criminal inquiries, reduced witness independence, potential accountability concerns, and modest additional taxpayer legal costs.
To authorize representation by the Senate Legal Counsel in Federal Trade Commission v. Key Investment Group, LLC, et al.
The resolution lets the Senate use institutional counsel and privilege assertions to protect internal materials and coordinate defense for Senators, trading off quicker judicial fact-finding and private cost-bearing for greater confidentiality and public funding of litigation.
