Track bills, resolutions, and amendments moving through Congress
Fighting Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Act of 2025
The bill aims to expand and better target PTSD and behavioral-health care for public-safety personnel—especially in rural and Tribal areas—by producing DOJ-informed program options and confidentiality-focused grants, but it may require new spending, impose implementation burdens on small/local agencies, and raise privacy and federal-vs-local control concerns.
Gerald E. Connolly Esophageal Cancer Awareness Act of 2025
The bill could improve early detection and prevention of esophageal cancer for higher‑risk people and give Congress better FEHBP spending data, but it risks higher screening costs, potential overdiagnosis and equity concerns while delivering only indirect, report‑based changes to care access.
Women and Lung Cancer Research and Preventive Services Act of 2025
The bill focuses federal attention and coordination on improving lung cancer research and screening for under-recognized groups—potentially improving outcomes—but it delays action for up to two years and may require new funding or congressional action before benefits are realized.
25th Anniversary of 9/11 Commemorative Coin Act
The bill honors 9/11 by authorizing limited-run commemorative coins to support the National September 11 Memorial and Museum and recognize responders and survivors, but it relies on coin sales that can raise costs for purchasers, add administrative burdens, and may delay or fail to produce expected funds for beneficiaries if sales or surcharges fall short.
Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026
The bill directs substantial new investments and program expansions to support farmers, specialty crops, rural infrastructure, conservation, and nutrition, accelerating technology adoption and resilience but doing so with large new budget commitments, added administrative complexity, potential inequities favoring larger or better‑resourced actors, and some rollbacks of environmental and regulatory safeguards.
988 Lifeline Location Improvement Act of 2026
The bill aims to improve 988 crisis response and accessibility through a coordinated study and committee while limiting near-term federal spending, but it risks delays, privacy trade-offs, operational disruption, and added costs that could fall on taxpayers, providers, or consumers.
PIPELINE Safety Act of 2025
The bill invests substantially in pipeline safety, oversight, and modernization—benefiting state and local authorities, operators, and nearby communities—while creating higher federal spending and compliance costs, narrowing some public access to safety data, and adding administrative and legal complexities that must be managed carefully.
Protect Infant Formula from Contamination Act
The bill increases safety and transparency around infant formula—speeding detection, traceability, and oversight to protect infants and help prevent shortages—at the cost of greater regulatory and reporting burdens on manufacturers and the FDA, with potential short-term supply disruptions and increased costs for businesses, agencies, or taxpayers.
Improving Care in Rural America Reauthorization Act of 2025
The bill secures multi-year funding and stronger community‑centered rural health services through 2030, but does so at a cost to taxpayers and with added administrative requirements for recipients.
Women and Lung Cancer Research and Preventive Services Act of 2025
The bill directs federal agencies to coordinate reviews and plan strategies to improve lung cancer research, detection, and screening access—particularly for women and underserved groups—trading immediate funding and rapid action for the potential of better-targeted future initiatives.
First Responder Network Authority Reauthorization Act of 2026
The bill strengthens oversight, reporting, board representation, and outage/continuity capabilities to improve first-responder communications and accountability, but does so by centralizing authority and adding compliance and reporting requirements that could raise costs, slow non-emergency actions, and introduce privacy/security and governance trade-offs.
Mystic Alerts Act
The bill extends emergency-alert reach via satellite and creates technical standards while shielding providers from liability — trading broader, faster alert coverage for increased privacy risks, reduced legal accountability, voluntary coverage gaps, and some implementation costs.
Emergency Reporting Act
The bill increases transparency and study of 9‑1‑1 and broadband outages to improve resiliency and emergency response, but it creates compliance costs for providers and leaves gaps in public detail and the FCC's enforcement authority.
ALERT Act
The bill seeks to strengthen aviation safety, oversight, and modernization across civilian and military operations, but delivers those gains at the expense of increased costs, potential operational disruption and transitional risks, and limited guarantees on enforcement and transparency.
Federal Building Threat Notification Act
The bill standardizes life‑safety communications and assigns on‑site accountability to improve federal building safety and responder coordination, but it requires staff time and local implementation capacity that may produce uneven protection and short-term operational costs.
American Water Stewardship Act
The bill secures multi‑year federal continuity and improved oversight for regional water restoration and monitoring—potentially improving environmental and public‑health outcomes—but does so while increasing federal spending, imposing cost‑share and administrative burdens that may disadvantage small local governments and nonprofits, and creating implementation or fairness tradeoffs.
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.
Tyler’s Law
The bill prioritizes a cautious, evidence-driven federal approach—funding study, guidance, and privacy review to improve and standardize fentanyl testing in emergency departments—but does so at the cost of delayed implementation and potential patient costs, trust concerns, and operational burdens for hospitals.
Raising awareness and encouraging the prevention of stalking by designating January 2026 as "National Stalking Awareness Month".
This resolution raises awareness and promotes more services, campus prevention, and criminal-justice action against stalking—benefiting victims and students—while creating trade-offs around funding, increased policing impacts on vulnerable communities, and potential privacy concerns from efforts to address technology‑facilitated stalking.
Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act of 2025
The bill expands acceptable milk and fortified nondairy options and strengthens allergy-safety training in schools—improving access and safety for many students—while creating modest new costs, administrative requirements, and a possible increase in saturated-fat availability.
Designating November 2025 as "National Lung Cancer Awareness Month" and expressing support for early detection and treatment of lung cancer.
The resolution could boost lung cancer detection and access to precision treatments—improving outcomes for high‑risk adults and veterans—but will increase costs, strain providers, and may worsen existing access disparities unless funding and equity are actively addressed.
National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program Reauthorization Act of 2025
The bill strengthens federal earthquake resilience by expanding scope, clarifying roles, improving early warning, and providing multi‑year support, but many new expectations hinge on future appropriations and will raise costs and administrative burdens for governments and property owners.
National Landslide Preparedness Act Reauthorization Act of 2025
The bill strengthens forecasting, data, partnership, and funding for flood, drought, and landslide preparedness—improving public safety and water management—but does so with targeted appropriations and administrative constraints that may shift resources, limit flexibility, and create ongoing budget demands.
FDA Modernization Act 3.0
The bill provides clearer, statutory definitions and immediate regulatory certainty for nonclinical versus clinical data—helping developers and patients reduce ambiguity and speed processes—but does so by skipping regular notice-and-comment and introducing short-term compliance and implementation risks that could affect study classification and safety until guidance is issued.
To amend the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act to reauthorize the National Volcano Early Warning and Monitoring System.
The bill preserves and funds volcano monitoring and clarifies implementing authority for the near term, improving public safety and administrative clarity, at the cost of a small fixed federal outlay and reduced funding flexibility that could underfund needs or cause some administrative confusion.
Veterinary Services to Improve Public Health in Rural Communities Act
The bill improves tribal veterinary public‑health capacity, One Health coordination, and tribal representation in preparedness, but largely does so without guaranteed new funding and will require administrative capacity and time to translate studies and coordination into concrete, funded protections.
BADGES for Native Communities Act
The bill improves Tribal investigation capacity, coordination, oversight, and officer support for missing persons and related cases, but its limited, time‑bound funding, administrative requirements, and some legal ambiguities risk undercutting long-term impact unless Congress provides sustained resources and clear implementation guidance.
Studying NEPA’s Impact on Projects Act
The bill increases NEPA transparency and provides standardized data that can improve oversight and project planning, but it also creates new administrative and compliance costs and risks greater legal scrutiny and politicization of agency decisions.
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.
Hospital Inpatient Services Modernization Act
The bill extends and studies hospital-at-home to expand access and gather evidence, but does so while sharply reducing improvement fund obligations and extending regulatory waivers — trading near-term fiscal and administrative flexibility for risks to oversight, timely evidence, and program funding.
