Track bills, resolutions, and amendments moving through Congress
Small Business Innovation and Economic Security Act
The bill extends and streamlines SBIR/STTR programs and strengthens commercialization and security safeguards—helping many small firms scale and get to market faster—while increasing federal spending, concentrating benefits among established participants, adding compliance burdens, and delaying some
Pay Our Homeland Defenders Act
The bill increases transparency, oversight, and predictability for DHS spending and grants and protects certain workforce and enforcement capacities, but it imposes substantial reporting requirements, financial penalties, and statutory limits that reduce agency flexibility, may divert funds from infrastructure and operations, and could constrain operational options and oversight norms.
Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026
The bill increases DHS transparency, detainee protections, targeted operational funding, and training controls—but it also imposes heavy new oversight/reporting rules, procurement and operational limits, and some rescissions that could slow emergency response, raise administrative costs, and reduce program flexibility.
Make the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful Act of 2025
The bill increases federal involvement in DC to improve public safety and public‑space upkeep and transparency, but it raises taxpayer costs, risks to civil liberties (especially for immigrants and minority communities), potential local‑federal tensions, and trade‑offs around firearms access.
Smart Space Act of 2026
The legislation aims to cut federal real estate costs and boost transparency by encouraging private financing, faster consolidation, and mission-focused site use, but it risks ceding long-term control, increasing lifetime costs, reducing local service access, and weakening oversight.
Federal Building Threat Notification Act
The bill standardizes emergency notifications and assigns facility accountability to improve safety and transparency in Federal buildings, while imposing modest costs, administrative burdens, and a risk of uneven implementation.
To direct the Administrator of General Services to submit a report to Congress on the state of the real estate portfolio of the Public Building Service, and for other purposes.
The bill increases transparency and data-driven management of federal real property to enable potential cost savings and stronger oversight, while imposing administrative costs, disclosure risks for tenant agencies, and a risk of disruptive relocations if actions are not properly funded or phased.
Airport Regulatory Relief Act of 2025
The bill lets small/nonprimary airports use state highway pavement standards to speed and cut the cost of repairs and projects and provides a timeline for federal review, but it trades off possible reduced pavement longevity, added safety/liability risks, and the potential for review-related delays.
American Water Stewardship Act
The bill extends and clarifies federal water and coastal programs to provide multi‑year stability, improved monitoring, funding flexibility, and oversight—at the cost of higher potential federal spending, added burdens on small/local recipients, eligibility limits tied to national‑security concerns, and possible administrative disruptions.
Airmen Certificate Accessibility Act
The bill modernizes FAA credentialing to make presenting and managing certificates easier and more standardized, but does so at the cost of creating access challenges for less‑connected airmen, potential cybersecurity/privacy risks, and implementation expenses.
Authorizing the use of the Capitol Grounds for the National Peace Officers' Memorial Service and the National Honor Guard and Pipe Band Exhibition.
The bill authorizes a high‑profile, free national memorial on the Capitol Grounds that gives law‑enforcement families and the public a formal tribute and clearer event rules, but it shifts costs and legal risk onto sponsors and taxpayers and creates potential access, free‑speech, and logistical constraints.
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.
End Special Treatment for Congress at Airports Act of 2026
This bill clarifies and standardizes access to expedited air‑travel screening—promoting equal treatment and clearer agency authority—while raising privacy and fairness concerns from expanded program definitions and TSA discretion, and imposing modest administrative and operational trade‑offs.
MAWS Act of 2026
The bill creates a short-term federal market and support structure that provides new revenue and data for managing invasive blue catfish and supply certainty for processors, at the expense of taxpayer costs, potential market distortions and crowding out of private buyers, administrative burdens, and
North Rim Restoration Act
The bill speeds recovery and restoration of North Rim facilities and services through time-limited, streamlined and noncompetitive contracting authorities and clearer responsibilities, but does so at the cost of reduced competition, increased fiscal and integrity risks, potential exclusion of nearby
Gateway Partnership Act
The bill clarifies who manages partnerships and protects public access, park resources, and taxpayers by shifting event costs to a designated nonprofit for a limited time, but it concentrates event control with a single private partner and reduces government liability—raising concerns about privatiz
Shivwits Band of Paiutes Jurisdictional Clarity Act
The bill clarifies which Shivwits lands, governing body, leases, and contracts are covered—improving legal certainty and potential economic development—but shifts dispute venues and definitions in ways that can limit tribal court authority and individual remedies, raise costs, and risk environmental
Save Our Sequoias Act
The bill directs extensive new coordination, funding, and expedited authorities to protect and restore giant sequoias—trading faster, better‑funded action and greater Tribal participation for higher federal costs, reduced routine public/environmental review, and increased role for donors and private
DIGITAL Applications Act
The bill streamlines and clarifies how parties apply to install communications facilities on public lands—potentially speeding deployment and improving service—while raising equity concerns for digitally underserved people, fiscal costs, and environmental risks to public lands.
Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program Amendment Act of 2025
The bill centralizes and secures non‑Federal conservation funds and improves transparency for the Lower Colorado River program, but it limits flexible access to investment earnings and creates investment/timing risks that could shift costs to taxpayers or delay spending.
Servicemembers’ Credit Monitoring Enhancement Act
The bill clarifies and expands FCRA protections to explicitly cover all service members — improving credit protections and consistency across federal law — but introduces a one-year delay and some compliance costs and short-term regulatory uncertainty that could affect agencies, creditors, and (ind)
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.
Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026
The bill increases transparency, short‑term funding continuity, and implementation clarity while imposing new reporting and procedural controls that raise administrative costs, constrain agency flexibility, and add fiscal and operational trade‑offs that will largely fall on taxpayers and frontline,急
Tribal Trust Land Homeownership Act of 2025
Wintergreen Emergency Egress Act
The bill secures a specific emergency egress route and mandates environmental and alternatives reviews to reduce harm, but it also constrains federal discretion to deny the right-of-way and may create local environmental impacts and upfront cost burdens.
Critical Mineral Consistency Act of 2025
This bill centralizes and speeds federal coordination on critical-minerals listings to reduce confusion and better target federal support, but it risks rushed decisions, federal preemption of local processes, and greater regulatory uncertainty for industry.
Chugach Alaska Land Exchange Oil Spill Recovery Act of 2025
The bill streamlines and legally clarifies land exchanges (benefiting Alaska Native entities, landowners, and federal managers and accelerating dispute resolution and conservation actions) at the cost of shifting control and potential revenues to the federal government, reducing local/state autonomy
Captain Accursio “Gus” Sanfilippo Young Fishermen’s Development Act
This bill clarifies and modernizes program law—reducing legal uncertainty and enabling potential program improvements—at the cost of short-term administrative burdens, transitional confusion, and a risk that some beneficiaries could lose eligibility or funding.
Cape Fox Land Entitlement Finalization Act of 2025
The bill resolves and accelerates ANCSA-related land conveyances to give tribal entities clear title and preserve specified public access, but in doing so removes federal land from public control, can limit future flexibility through easements/definitions, and raises environmental and administrative risks.
ROTOR Act
The bill boosts aviation safety, oversight, and FAA–DoD coordination by expanding ADS‑B requirements, audits, and data sharing, but does so at significant cost and with real risks to operational flexibility, privacy/security, and legal adaptability.
