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.
ASCEND Act
The bill expands public-sector access to commercial high-resolution Earth imagery and favors U.S. suppliers to support the domestic space industry, but increases privacy/national-security risks, may harm vendor business models or raise costs, and adds administrative reporting burdens.
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.
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.
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026
The bill makes large, coordinated investments to strengthen military readiness, the defense industrial base, cyber/AI defenses, and housing/disaster resilience while expanding oversight and support for service members — but it substantially increases federal spending, administrative burdens, restrictions on research and certain rights, and conditions that could delay operations or concentrate executive authority.
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.
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.
Fire Ready Nation Act of 2025
The bill substantially improves wildfire forecasting, data sharing, and response capacity—particularly benefiting rural, tribal, and responder communities—while increasing administrative demands, raising data-security/privacy risks, and creating the potential for significant new federal spending that depends on future appropriations.
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.
Uyghur Policy Act of 2025
Financial Technology Protection Act of 2025
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.
Promoting Resilient Supply Chains Act of 2025
The bill strengthens U.S. supply-chain resilience and prioritizes domestic and emerging-technology production through federal coordination and support, but it raises federal costs, may increase consumer prices, reduces some transparency, and creates funding and timing uncertainties that could limit effectiveness.
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.
Global Investment in American Jobs Act of 2025
The bill aims to boost U.S. advanced-technology competitiveness and supply-chain resilience by steering FDI toward 'trusted' partners and strengthening data/IP protections, but it risks higher compliance costs, regulatory uncertainty, politicized investor treatment, and potential foreign retaliation that could harm exporters, consumers, and investment flows.
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.
Strengthening the Quad Act
The bill strengthens U.S. diplomatic, security, and economic coordination with Quad partners—improving crisis response and offering alternatives to predatory financing in the Indo‑Pacific—at the cost of higher federal spending, added administrative commitments, and the risk of geopolitical backlash and ethical challenges.
South Pacific Tuna Treaty Act of 2025
The bill centralizes clearer enforcement and administrative flexibility to improve fisheries management and safety, but it does so by expanding agency discretion and confidentiality while increasing compliance burdens and creating legal uncertainty for some landowners and fishery participants.
Taiwan International Solidarity Act
The bill strengthens U.S. diplomatic advocacy for Taiwan's international space and affirms Taiwan's right to self-determination, but does so in ways that could reduce diplomatic flexibility, increase workloads without new funding, and raise the risk of heightened tensions and economic spillovers with the PRC.
MEGOBARI Act
Promoting Resilient Supply Chains Act of 2025
The bill strengthens U.S. supply‑chain resilience and clarifies federal coordination and protections for sensitive data while constraining new appropriations — but it risks higher costs for consumers and businesses, potential trade friction, funding and implementation shortfalls, and uncertainty from a 10‑year sunset.
SHIELD Against CCP Act
The bill centralizes and clarifies federal coordination, transparency, and technology efforts to address CCP-related threats—strengthening preparedness and interagency response—while increasing costs, information-sharing, and risks to privacy and potentially targeted communities.
Chinese Currency Accountability Act of 2025
The bill increases Congressional oversight and conditions U.S. support for IMF/RMB changes to protect financial stability and U.S. influence, but it risks politicizing IMF processes, reducing diplomatic flexibility with China, and creates long-term uncertainty through a 10-year sunset on its measures.
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide special rules for the taxation of certain residents of Taiwan with income from sources within the United States.
The bill reduces cross-border tax burdens and clarifies withholding rules to encourage trade and investment with Taiwan, but it will lower U.S. tax receipts and create added compliance complexity and timing uncertainty tied to reciprocal certification and carve-outs.
Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act
The bill strengthens protections for U.S. personnel and denies financial and diplomatic support to the ICC to deter prosecutions, but does so at the cost of straining diplomacy, weakening international justice mechanisms, imposing immigration and economic effects on individuals and businesses, and reducing some transparency and legal predictability.
Condemning Beijing's destruction of Hong Kong's democracy and rule of law.
The bill increases accountability and may strengthen nonproliferation and rights protections regarding Hong Kong, but it risks economic fallout and diplomatic frictions with China that could hurt American businesses and complicate international cooperation.
Expressing the sense of the Senate regarding United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 (XXVI) and the harmful conflation of China's "One China Principle" and the United States'"One China Policy".
The resolution seeks to expand Taiwan's participation in UN‑affiliated agencies and rally international support—potentially improving public health and strengthening multilateral defenses of Taiwan's voice—while risking heightened tensions with China and complicating U.S. diplomatic balancing and civil‑society access.
Condemning the pardon of ex-Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez.
The resolution exposes large-scale cocaine flows and foreign corruption to justify stronger U.S. counternarcotics and assistance efforts, but doing so risks diplomatic friction, politicization, and weakening cooperation with Honduran security partners that U.S. efforts rely on.
