Track bills, resolutions, and amendments moving through Congress
Fighting Foreign Illegal Seafood Harvests Act of 2025
The bill strengthens U.S. tools, data, and international cooperation to reduce illegal fishing and forced labor—bolstering fisheries sustainability and supply‑chain integrity—but does so at the cost of higher enforcement and diplomatic risks, greater compliance burdens for seafood businesses, and increased federal spending.
Global Investment in American Jobs Act of 2025
The bill seeks to attract and channel 'trusted' foreign investment and tighten screening to protect technology and supply chains, but does so by expanding Commerce's authority in ways that could limit investment from some countries, raise costs, and create regulatory uncertainty for firms.
BRAVE Burma Act
The bill strengthens U.S. leverage, transparency, and humanitarian engagement to pressure Myanmar’s junta and support victims, while imposing fiscal and administrative costs, raising risks of diplomatic friction and potential escalation that could complicate aid and economic ties.
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.
No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act
The bill increases U.S. leverage, oversight, and protections for women and minorities by conditioning engagement and requiring reporting, but it risks disrupting humanitarian assistance, reducing diplomatic flexibility, exposing operational risks, and imposing administrative and potential fiscal costs.
Financial Services and General Government and National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2026
The bill increases transparency and funds a wide array of national-security, foreign‑aid, and global‑health programs while imposing large mandated spending floors and many procedural limits that raise taxpayer costs, add administrative burdens, and reduce agency and diplomatic flexibility.
Breaking the Gridlock Act
The bill advances consumer privacy protections, oversight, and targeted supports (notably for veterans and local fire response) and strengthens some procurement and foreign‑policy efforts, but does so while adding new reporting and administrative requirements and exposing taxpayers to increased, often open‑ended federal spending and compliance costs.
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026
The bill substantially strengthens U.S. military, industrial, and security capabilities and expands supports for service members and communities — but does so at the cost of large new spending, heavier administrative and compliance burdens, constrained operational flexibility in some cases, and notable privacy, environmental, and civil‑liberties trade‑offs.
Commemorating 30 years of diplomatic relations between the United States and Vietnam on July 11, 2025.
The resolution strengthens U.S.-Vietnam ties—boosting security cooperation, trade, education, and recognition of immigrant communities—while requiring continued taxpayer support and potentially reducing leverage on human-rights issues and creating economic competition for some U.S. workers.
PORCUPINE Act
The bill aims to speed and clarify U.S. defensive support to Taiwan and build predictable oversight and sunset limits, trading off increased geopolitical tensions, higher fiscal and administrative costs, and risks that faster review timelines could weaken vetting or reduce future policy flexibility.
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.
Taiwan Assurance Implementation Act
The bill increases consistency and congressional oversight of U.S. Taiwan policy through regularized guidance and explanatory reports, at the cost of added administrative burden and potential national-security and diplomatic risks from formalized, regularly reported guidance.
No New Burma Funds Act
The bill forces U.S. World Bank votes to sustain pressure on Burma's military junta to protect human rights and retain leverage, but that stance may slow development aid to civilians and limit U.S. diplomatic flexibility in multilateral forums.
Mikaela Naylon Give Kids a Chance Act
This bill increases regulatory clarity, pediatric and transplant-focused initiatives, and transparency that can improve access and oversight, but it does so while raising federal costs, imposing new administrative burdens, and introducing risks that could delay pediatric data, weaken enforcement incentives, and shift incentives for drug developers.
Combatting International Drug Trafficking and Human Smuggling Partnership Act of 2025
The bill expands CBP's ability to operate and provide humanitarian assistance abroad and to compensate some foreign victims, aiming to strengthen regional security, but it exposes U.S. personnel and taxpayers to legal, financial, and continuity risks while limiting long-term remedy access for some claimants.
Expressing condemnation of the Chinese Communist Party's persecution of religious minority groups, including Christians, Muslims, and Buddhists and the detention of Pastor "Ezra" Jin Mingri and leaders of the Zion Church, and reaffirming the United States' global commitment to promote religious freedom and tolerance.
This resolution strengthens and documents U.S. condemnation of religious persecution in China—giving policymakers moral and evidentiary grounds to press for sanctions or aid—while risking increased diplomatic and economic friction with China and raising expectations without creating binding obligations.
Honoring the strategic importance of the C5+1 diplomatic platform and recognizing the deepening partnership between the United States and the nations of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
The resolution strengthens diplomatic and economic coordination with Central Asia via the C5+1 framework—potentially improving security and supply-chain cooperation—while providing no immediate funding or rights and creating a risk of future obligations or costs for U.S. businesses and taxpayers.
Congratulating the people of North Macedonia on the 34th anniversary of their independence and celebrating the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between North Macedonia and the United States.
The resolution publicly reaffirms and deepens U.S.-North Macedonia alliance and coordinated policy against Russian aggression—strengthening NATO ties and capacity building—while carrying modest risks of signaling future costs to taxpayers and increasing geopolitical friction.
Stop Chinese Fentanyl Act of 2025
The bill aims to disrupt fentanyl supply chains and increase oversight and legal certainty for trade, but it does so at the cost of reduced rapid‑response flexibility, potential economic and supply‑chain harms, and risks of overbroad sanctions that could hurt lawful actors.
PARTNER Act
The bill makes it easier and faster for the U.S. to extend standard privileges and immunities to international organizations—facilitating diplomacy and scientific cooperation—while concentrating discretion in the Executive and reducing legal remedies, transparency, and potential fiscal protections for American taxpayers.
ARMOR Act
The bill accelerates allied logistics and export cooperation—likely improving readiness and easing export burdens for many defense firms—at the cost of reduced direct congressional notifications, potential security risks from faster approvals, uncertain economic impacts on some U.S. suppliers, and added administrative obligations.
International Traffic in Arms Regulations Licensing Reform Act
The bill trades faster, more accountable export licensing and quicker deliveries to partners (benefiting exporters and military readiness) against increased administrative burdens and elevated risks from faster reviews and potentially sensitive disclosures that could harm security or competitiveness.
Haiti Criminal Collusion Transparency Act of 2025
The bill gives U.S. authorities faster, more targeted tools and clearer oversight to disrupt Haitian criminal networks and protect aid and trade, but it also raises significant risks to immigrants' due process, diplomatic cooperation, business compliance and legal exposure, and creates short-term uncertainty due to a five-year sunset.
Uyghur Policy Act of 2025
Undersea Cable Control Act
The bill strengthens U.S. national security and supply‑chain resilience for undersea cables and increases U.S. influence in standards-setting, but does so at the cost of higher compliance and procurement costs, possible trade frictions, and risks of misidentifying firms tied to foreign adversaries.
Honoring the deep and enduring friendship between the Kingdom of Denmark and the United States on the occasion of Danish Constitution Day celebrations.
The resolution bolsters U.S.–Denmark security cooperation and economic ties—strengthening NATO burden-sharing and supporting U.S. jobs—but risks policy entanglement, shifts in budgetary focus toward defense, and uneven distribution of economic benefits.
Taiwan Conflict Deterrence Act of 2025
The bill strengthens U.S. ability to identify and cut off financial flows linked to senior PRC officials and increases transparency and enforcement tools, but it raises risks of economic harm to banks, rights impacts on relatives, diplomatic escalation, and expanded enforcement discretion that could produce costly compliance burdens and reduced transparency in some cases.
Commemorating the 90th birthday of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama on July 6, 2025, as "A Day of Compassion" and expressing support for the human rights and distinct religious, cultural, linguistic, and historical identity of the Tibetan people.
This largely symbolic resolution affirms U.S. support for the Dalai Lama and Tibetan cultural/religious rights and raises awareness of environmental risks in Tibet, but it may strain U.S.-China relations and offers no direct policy or material benefits to Americans.
Sanction Sea Pirates Act of 2025
The bill strengthens U.S. tools and international coordination to disrupt maritime piracy and protect shipping and humanitarian aid, but it raises civil‑liberties and due‑process concerns, increases compliance and potential economic costs, and may create expectations of action without guaranteed resources.
Taiwan Non-Discrimination Act of 2025
The bill increases U.S. diplomatic support, transparency, and potential gains to global financial stability by encouraging Taiwan’s meaningful participation in IMF processes, but does so largely through non‑binding measures that risk heightening tensions with China and create modest administrative and diplomatic costs.
