Track bills, resolutions, and amendments moving through Congress
Faster Labor Contracts Act
The bill trades faster, enforceable paths to first contracts and shorter dispute timelines—which can deliver quicker pay and stability for workers—for binding outcomes, compressed negotiation flexibility, higher potential costs to employers/consumers, and increased administrative burdens on employers and federal agencies.
Developing Overseas Mineral Investments and New Allied Networks for Critical Energies Act
The bill aims to strengthen U.S. and allied critical-mineral and energy security and spur private investment through new coordination, financing tools, and diplomatic capacity, but it increases federal spending, concentrates decision-making authority, and carries environmental, trade-retaliation, and commercial-confidentiality risks that may raise costs for taxpayers, businesses, and local communities.
PROFIT Act of 2026
The bill centralizes and professionalizes U.S. commercial and economic statecraft to boost exports, supply-chain resilience, and sanction effectiveness, but it raises taxpayer costs and creates risks of politicization, geopolitical exposure for firms, and environmental trade-offs.
Combating Organized Retail Crime Act of 2025
The bill centralizes federal tools and a coordination center to reduce organized retail and supply‑chain theft—likely lowering losses for businesses and improving prosecutions—but it expands federal enforcement and information‑sharing in ways that raise civil liberties, forfeiture, cost, and equity concerns.
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.
AGOA Extension Act
The bill extends duty‑free treatment for eligible African apparel and preserves customs fee authority to maintain trade continuity and CBP funding, at the cost of reduced tariff revenue, continued fees for importers/consumers, administrative burdens, and limits on some future beneficiary eligibility.
Federal Maritime Commission Reauthorization Act of 2025
The bill strengthens FMC oversight, stakeholder input, data protections, and near-term port funding while increasing confidentiality barriers and compliance requirements that could reduce transparency, impose costs on smaller shippers and carriers, and concentrate agency discretion.
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.
National Manufacturing Advisory Council Act
The bill creates a federal Manufacturing Advisory Council to connect manufacturers, workers, and distressed communities to Commerce with recommendations on workforce, training, and supply‑chain issues, but its advisory, nonbinding, time‑limited structure and lack of dedicated funding mean real benefits depend on voluntary adoption and future funding/reauthorization.
Promoting Resilient Supply Chains Act of 2025
The bill aims to strengthen domestic supply‑chain resilience, manufacturing capacity, and coordination through federal planning, definitions, and roadmaps, but it raises costs for taxpayers and businesses, creates privacy and trade tensions, and faces funding and implementation uncertainty (including a 10‑year sunset and a prohibition on new spending) that may limit its practical impact.
Securing Semiconductor Supply Chains Act
The bill aims to boost domestic semiconductor production and supply-chain security by coordinating FDI attraction without new spending, but it risks higher costs, concentrated benefits, limited implementation capacity, and uncertain near-term results.
American Music Tourism Act of 2025
The bill aims to boost local economies and make U.S. music attractions easier to find for travelers, but it could increase taxpayer costs, concentrate benefits in established hubs, raise local prices, and strain sensitive local environments.
No Dollars to Uyghur Forced Labor Act
The bill strengthens U.S. efforts to avoid funding goods linked to alleged forced labor and boosts transparency and congressional oversight, but it does so at the cost of added compliance steps that can delay aid delivery and raise program and procurement costs.
Economic Espionage Prevention Act
The bill strengthens tools to block sensitive technology from reaching Russia and increases congressional oversight, but does so at the cost of higher compliance burdens, diplomatic friction with the PRC, potential due-process and travel impacts, and new regulatory uncertainty for businesses.
Securing Semiconductor Supply Chains Act of 2025
The bill directs SelectUSA to coordinate and recommend ways to attract semiconductor foreign investment—aiming to strengthen domestic production, jobs, and supply-chain security—but does so with limited new funding, added administrative burdens, potential regional or firm-level favoritism, and risks of higher costs for taxpayers and consumers.
Promoting Resilient Supply Chains Act of 2025
The bill centralizes efforts and definitions to strengthen U.S. supply‑chain resilience and support domestic manufacturing—potentially improving access to critical goods and jobs—but does so at the risk of higher costs, budgetary and administrative burdens, privacy and trade tensions, and program uncertainty from limited funding and a 10‑year sunset.
Small Business Advocacy Improvements Act of 2025
The bill strengthens SBA advocacy for small businesses in international and rulemaking arenas—potentially protecting firms from harmful foreign rules—but risks added costs and coordination tensions as the Office expands its international role.
Chinese Currency Accountability Act of 2025
The bill seeks to protect U.S. economic interests and influence in the IMF by forcing Treasury verification of China's compliance, but it creates diplomatic and administrative risks and is weakened by an automatic 10-year sunset that injects legal uncertainty and could end protections unless renewed.
Condemning the dictator of the People's Republic of China, Xi Jinping, for deceit, undermining prospects for peace and security, and orchestrating crimes against humanity.
The resolution increases U.S. attention to alleged CCP abuses, criminal activity, and environmental harms—strengthening grounds for advocacy and tougher security measures—but risks diplomatic retaliation, reduced cooperation on shared threats, business fallout, and potential domestic xenophobic consequences.
Medical Supply Chain Resiliency Act
The bill strengthens U.S. medical supply resilience and manufacturing and speeds cross‑border cooperation, but it does so at the cost of higher potential procurement and taxpayer expenses, regulatory and privacy risks, and greater procedural and diplomatic complexity.
Rights for the TSA Workforce Act
The bill extends Title 5 protections, pay safeguards, and greater oversight to TSA and other transportation‑security employees to improve worker protections, transparency, and recruitment, but does so at the cost of higher federal personnel expenses, significant implementation burdens, and reduced short‑term operational flexibility with some privacy and legal trade‑offs.
PROTECT USA Act of 2025
The bill seeks to protect U.S. supply chains, jobs, and firms from foreign sustainability rules by empowering the President and providing legal remedies, trading off stronger environmental/social protections, greater executive discretion, and increased risk of diplomatic, legal, and market fallout.
Chesapeake Bay Conservation Acceleration Act of 2025
The bill increases targeted conservation and workforce investments—improving water quality, farmer support, and agricultural training—at the cost of higher federal spending, potential distributional gaps in who benefits, added reporting requirements for producers, and some transitional or governance risks.
Tariff Transparency Act of 2025
The bill provides timely, protected, sector-level analysis to inform trade policy and help consumers anticipate price changes, but it risks higher prices and potential export retaliation if policymakers use the report to maintain or expand import duties, and it will require USITC resources to produce.
Preventing Child Labor Exploitation in Federal Contracting Act
The bill strengthens protections, transparency, and enforcement against child labor in federal contracting—giving children and the public greater safeguards—while imposing notable compliance costs, procurement constraints, and a funding ban that could limit or delay actual implementation.
Securing American Agriculture Act
The bill aims to strengthen agricultural supply-chain resilience and spur local investment, but those benefits may come at the cost of higher prices for some farmers, potential taxpayer subsidies, and limited impact if voluntary data collection leaves gaps.
MEGOBARI Act
The bill increases U.S. support, oversight, and tools to bolster Georgia’s democracy and security—strengthening ties and accountability—but does so at the cost of greater diplomatic friction, higher fiscal and administrative burdens, and risks that conditional measures or sanctions could harm services, politicize assistance, or push Georgia toward adversaries.
INNOVATE Act
The bill channels more and clearer SBIR/STTR funding toward prioritized projects and improves security and administrative rules, but does so by concentrating awards, tightening eligibility and commercialization tests, and imposing new compliance and implementation burdens that may reduce opportunities for many small or underrepresented innovators.
Richard L. Trumka Protecting the Right to Organize Act of 2025
The bill substantially strengthens worker organizing rights, remedies, and enforcement to make unionization easier and deter unfair labor practices, at the cost of higher compliance and litigation exposure for employers and contractors, faster agency timelines that may strain processes, and more open‑ended federal funding authority with less fiscal transparency.
Faster Labor Contracts Act
The bill speeds first-contract bargaining to help newly organized workers secure pay and stability sooner, but does so by narrowing negotiation flexibility and imposing potential cost and administrative burdens on employers, taxpayers, and agencies.
