Track bills, resolutions, and amendments moving through Congress
Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act of 2026
The bill substantially raises boxer health, safety, pay, and transparency standards — improving protections and fairness for fighters and fans — but does so at the cost of higher compliance and staffing expenses that could reduce smaller promotions, raise consumer prices, strain medical staffing (especially in rural areas), and create implementation and accountability challenges.
Children and Teens’ Online Privacy Protection Act
The bill strengthens privacy, security, and oversight for children, teens, and families—reducing targeted advertising and increasing transparency—but does so at the cost of added compliance burdens and costs for businesses (especially small ones), possible reduced access to some services for users,—
21st Century ROAD to Housing Act
The bill directs substantial new federal support, coordination, and regulatory changes to speed housing production, preserve and repair affordable units, and strengthen tenant/homeowner protections—especially for disaster-affected and low-income households—but it does so while easing some environmental and procedural safeguards, increasing administrative burdens and funding uncertainty, and creating trade-offs that may dilute resources or disrupt markets.
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026
This bill combines substantial new funding priorities for defense, foreign assistance, health, and infrastructure with broad transparency and accountability measures — but does so while imposing many reporting requirements, limits on agency flexibility, rescissions, and compliance costs that raise spending pressures, could slow rapid responses, and shift burdens onto agencies, providers, and recipients.
504 Program Risk Oversight Act
The bill increases public transparency and risk oversight of the SBA 504 program—helping accountability and potentially stabilizing lending—while raising privacy/reputational risks for some firms, adding administrative costs, and possibly prompting tighter credit for certain small businesses.
Protecting Prudent Investment of Retirement Savings Act
This bill prioritizes protecting retirement assets and strengthening fiduciary transparency and oversight, while increasing compliance and legal burdens and restricting the use of ESG or diversity‑related considerations—trading greater financial primacy and accountability for higher costs and reduced ability to pursue non‑pecuniary goals.
Commerce, Justice, Science; Energy and Water Development; and Interior and Environment Appropriations Act, 2026
The bill increases near‑term transparency, targeted funding, and program guidance to accelerate infrastructure, safety, and tribal priorities, but does so by imposing tighter congressional controls, administrative procedures, and policy restrictions that reduce agency flexibility, create legal and budgetary uncertainty, and may delay environmental, scientific, or programmatic actions.
Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act of 2025
The bill prioritizes federal fiscal accountability and protecting relators' FCA awards by keeping more recoveries available to reimburse government losses, but that shifts funding away from the Crime Victims Fund in the near term—potentially reducing victim services—while promising an audit to guide longer-term stabilization and oversight improvements.
Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act
The bill increases PBM and drug‑price transparency and expands options for small employers, potentially lowering drug costs and broadening benefits access, but it also imposes sizable compliance and privacy burdens, risks market disruptions and reduced state consumer protections, and contains policy constraints (including on abortion coverage) that may narrow options for vulnerable enrollees.
Federal Maritime Commission Reauthorization Act of 2025
The bill strengthens FMC oversight, stakeholder input, data protections, and near-term port funding while increasing confidentiality barriers and compliance requirements that could reduce transparency, impose costs on smaller shippers and carriers, and concentrate agency discretion.
Incentivizing New Ventures and Economic Strength Through Capital Formation Act of 2025
The bill lowers barriers and recurring frictions to capital formation and investment access for issuers and some investors, but it does so by loosening disclosure, oversight, and investor‑protection guardrails—shifting greater risk onto retail investors and potentially increasing systemic exposure.
ADS for Mental Health Services Act
Requires large digital platforms to report PSA activity and estimated ad value to boost transparency and visibility of free/local mental‑health resources, at the cost of compliance expenses, added privacy risks, exemptions for smaller platforms, and a limited 5‑year duration.
Scam Compound Accountability and Mobilization Act
The bill strengthens U.S. tools, coordination, and victim support to disrupt offshore scam compounds and recover funds, but does so at the cost of heightened diplomatic friction, privacy and due‑process risks, increased public and private-sector costs, and uncertainty from time-limited authorities.
Systemic Risk Authority Transparency Act
The bill boosts speedier GAO and congressional oversight and transparency around systemic-risk designations and bank supervision while trading off greater exposure of confidential supervisory materials, potential diversion of agency resources during crises, concentrated access to sensitive materials, and higher legal risks.
Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025
The bill centralizes and clarifies federal oversight—providing stronger custody, disclosure, and AML safeguards and a statutory pathway for some token classifications—while imposing substantial compliance burdens, preempting state rules, creating transitional uncertainty, and leaving protection gaps for non‑brokered crypto users that could harm small firms, some investors, and market liquidity.
Homebuyers Privacy Protection Act
The bill strengthens consumer privacy around mortgage prescreening and commissions a study on trigger-lead marketing, improving protections and evidence for policymaking but adding administrative burdens, compliance costs, and potential delays or restrictions that could slow mortgage offer matching and raise costs for consumers and lenders.
VA Home Loan Program Reform Act
The bill expands and formalizes VA loss-mitigation and homelessness funding to keep veterans in their homes and stabilize services, but it does so with limits on judicial review, new federal liens and fiscal exposure for taxpayers, and time‑limited or uncertain funding that could leave unresolved risks and future gaps.
Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2025
The bill strengthens Coast Guard capacity, personnel support, maritime safety, and victim protections while increasing federal spending, adding significant administrative and procurement constraints, and introducing privacy, legal, and readiness tradeoffs that must be managed.
Equal Opportunity for All Investors Act of 2025
The bill expands access to private investments and bases accreditation on demonstrated knowledge (via a free test), improving investor protection for many, while increasing compliance and administrative costs and risking exclusion or credentialism for some capable investors.
Financial Technology Protection Act of 2025
Aligning SEC Regulations for the World Bank’s International Development Association Act
GENIUS Act
The bill sharply increases consumer safety, AML/sanctions capabilities, and regulatory clarity for payment stablecoins but does so by concentrating issuance among regulated banking entities, imposing heavy compliance and surveillance regimes, and restricting many non‑bank and foreign options—trading broader access and innovation for stronger oversight and stability.
Recognizing the importance of trademarks in the economy and the role of trademarks in protecting consumer safety, by designating the month of July as "National Anti-Counterfeiting and Consumer Education and Awareness Month".
The resolution raises public awareness and encourages coordination to combat counterfeiting—helpful for consumer safety and brand protection—but is non‑binding, may shift costs onto businesses or taxpayers, and could risk diplomatic friction without providing enforcement authority or funding.
Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act
The bill prioritizes privacy, banking-sector stability, and congressional control by preventing the Federal Reserve from creating a retail CBDC, but that protection comes at the cost of slower payment innovation, reduced options for financial inclusion, constrained policy tools, and increased uncertainty for fintech innovation.
Consumer Safety Technology Act
The bill aims to promote regulatory clarity, fraud detection, and agency transparency around tokens and marketplace hazards but does so by centralizing authority, expanding definitions, and deploying AI and studies in ways that could raise costs, delay action, risk privacy and accuracy, and shift enforcement burdens.
To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14.
This package delivers sizable tax relief, defense/industrial and targeted domestic investments while tightening immigration and benefit rules and expanding fossil fuel development — producing near‑term financial and program gains for many Americans at the cost of higher federal spending, greater compliance burdens, and increased risks to climate, coverage, and immigrant access.
Rural Broadband Protection Act of 2025
The bill increases assurance that federally funded broadband projects will be technically and financially sound and preserves competitive bidding, but it raises documentation and compliance barriers that could disadvantage small/new providers and slow deployment in some areas.
HALOS Act of 2025
Access to Small Business Investor Capital Act
Romance Scam Prevention Act
The bill speeds warnings and guidance to potential dating-site scam victims and creates enforcement avenues while encouraging provider action, but it raises risks of reputational harm from mistaken flags, weaker verification incentives, added provider costs that may fall on users, and limits on stronger state-level consumer protections.
