Track bills, resolutions, and amendments moving through Congress
Stop Insider Trading Act
The bill tightens in-person voting security and clarifies ID rules while preserving a short cure path, but it risks disenfranchising vulnerable voters and imposes financial and administrative burdens on voters and election officials.
Putting Patients First by Strengthening Provider Accountability in FECA Act
The bill strengthens FECA program integrity and protects taxpayer funds by allowing suspension of payments to convicted providers, but it risks disrupting care for injured federal employees and creating administrative burdens or unfair exclusions if suspensions are applied too broadly or before full review.
Federal Relocation Payment Improvement Act
The bill simplifies and speeds relocation payments for federal employees and reduces agency administrative burden, but risks undercompensating some movers and creating uneven treatment across agencies while adding reporting costs.
FIT Procurement Act
The bill modernizes federal ICT procurement — expanding small-business access, speeding purchases, and upskilling the acquisition workforce — but does so with higher thresholds, ambiguous drafting, and implementation choices that could reduce oversight, raise compliance costs, and leave reforms underfunded unless appropriations follow.
ELO Realignment and Strategic Engagement Reform Act of 2026
The bill centralizes and standardizes ELO functions to improve continuity, efficiency, and congressional oversight for SLTT intelligence support, but it restricts DHS staffing flexibility and may disrupt employees, local partnerships, and privacy/oversight arrangements during the transition.
Federal Fraud Prevention Workforce Training Act
The bill strengthens oversight and aims to reduce improper federal payments by requiring standardized training and offering free technical support to state/local/Tribal administrators, but it increases administrative costs and staff workload and raises privacy/data‑sharing concerns for partners.
Bonuses for Cost-Cutters and Fraud Preventers Act of 2026
The bill offers cash incentives and greater transparency to encourage federal employees to report waste and reduce improper payments, but it creates implementation costs, potential perverse incentives, and excludes some insider reporters—trading stronger oversight and possible savings against administrative burden and incentive risks.
Legislative Branch Agencies Clarification Act
The bill clarifies leadership, succession, and personnel rules for the Library, GPO, and Copyright Office—improving operational continuity, merit protections, and some oversight structures—while trading off stronger traditional Senate checks and creating risks of increased politicization, concentrated authority in non‑confirmed acting officials, and transitional complexity that may affect employees and taxpayers.
Amend chapters 83 and 84 of title 5, United States Code, to authorize an increase of the retirement age for members of the Capitol Police.
The bill gives the Board useful flexibility to set retirement ages (57–62) so agencies can manage staffing and protect workers in demanding roles, but that discretion also creates planning uncertainty and can force longer service or higher short-term costs for employees and taxpayers.
Expanding Whistleblower Protections for Contractors Act of 2026
The bill substantially strengthens and clarifies whistleblower protections for a broad set of contractors and government partners—preserving access to remedies and increasing official accountability—while raising compliance, administrative, and litigation costs and creating operational challenges for sensitive national security work.
Homeland Security and 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.
To amend title 5, United States Code, to authorize the increase of the retirement age in the United States Capitol Police.
The bill lets the Capitol Police Retirement Board extend the mandatory retirement age (up to 65) to keep experienced personnel and allow longer earnings, but it raises retirement-planning uncertainty and can impose health and economic costs—especially on law-enforcement officers—by requiring longer service.
Make the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful Act of 2025
The bill aims to improve public safety, transit security, and the cleanliness/appearance of Washington, D.C., while increasing federal oversight and enforcement—but these gains come with higher costs, potential resource diversion from services, jurisdictional friction with local authorities, and significant civil‑liberties and immigrant‑community impacts.
Enhancing Detection of Human Trafficking Act
The bill strengthens federal anti‑trafficking detection, referral, and oversight through a common legal definition, targeted DOL training, and annual reporting — but it risks excluding some victims, increasing privacy and administrative burdens, and producing rushed or uneven implementation if safeguards and resources are not adequate.
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026
The bill boosts oversight, targeted defense and foreign-aid investments, and health and program transparency, but does so by locking funds into many earmarks and reporting mandates that increase administrative costs, reduce executive flexibility, raise near‑term taxpayer obligations, and constrain federal personnel and agency responsiveness.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officer Retirement Technical Corrections Act
The bill restores higher retirement benefits and employment flexibility for certain CBP officers and adds administrative oversight, but increases federal pension costs and implementation burden and may create perceptions of unequal treatment.
Federal Supervisor Education Act
The bill raises the quality and accountability of federal supervision through standardized training, competency guidance, assessments, and mentoring—improving management and succession—but does so at the cost of added implementation expense, potential short-term operational disruption, and reduced agency flexibility.
Leech Lake Reservation Restoration Amendments Act of 2025
ARCA Act of 2025
The bill centralizes and professionalizes VA acquisition to improve reliability, oversight, and fiscal discipline—likely reducing cost overruns and improving services for veterans—while trading increased bureaucracy, upfront costs, transition risk, potential delays, and narrower contractor competition (plus the risk that some repealed authorities reduce existing veteran protections).
Protect America's Workforce Act
The bill protects federal employees' negotiated pay, benefits, and union protections and avoids implementation costs, at the cost of constraining executive flexibility to reform labor rules and risking short-term higher personnel costs and continued inefficiencies.
DHS Intelligence Rotational Assignment Program and Law Enforcement Support Act
Uniformed Services Leave Parity Act
The bill clarifies and extends Title 10 leave benefits to Commissioned Public Health Service officers and streamlines statutory language, trading clearer parity and reduced legal ambiguity for modest added personnel costs and some short-term administrative disruption.
Personnel Oversight and Shift Tracking Act of 2025
TRACE Act
The bill improves search-and-rescue effectiveness and transparency by adding standardized Federal-land location data to NamUs and requiring annual reporting, but it introduces modest costs, privacy risks, and potential coverage gaps for some Federal lands that must be managed.
PRO Veterans Act of 2025
The bill improves veteran‑facing VA services, transparency, and coordination by requiring feedback collection, reporting, and GAO review, but it increases administrative costs, raises data/privacy and recruitment risks for Central Office staff, and includes a near‑term sunset that could limit long‑term impact.
Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, and Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 2026
The bill preserves and funds major veteran, nutrition, and agency operations while increasing congressional oversight and imposing procurement, reporting, and program restrictions that could slow agency responsiveness, raise costs, and limit flexibility.
Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2025
The bill invests significantly in Coast Guard capacity, safety, victim support, oversight, and modernization—but those gains come with higher federal costs, substantial new administrative requirements, privacy and readiness risks, and potential compliance burdens for mariners and partners.
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.
Prison Staff Safety Enhancement Act
The bill aims to make BOP workplaces safer and more consistent by forcing OIG recommendations and national standards, but it may raise taxpayer costs, disrupt operations during rapid implementation, and could fall short if the Bureau does not fully comply.
TSA Commuting Fairness Act
The bill would give many TSA workers more paid work time and likely improve punctuality and payroll accuracy, but it raises significant long‑term costs for taxpayers and retirement systems and creates privacy and implementation challenges.
