Track bills, resolutions, and amendments moving through Congress
Defending American Property Abroad Act of 2026
The bill preserves emergency port access and allows owner-authorized commercial transit to reduce immediate harm and supply disruptions, while granting presidential authority to restrict use of certain foreign ports — a trade-off that could protect safety and continuity but also risks higher costs, diplomatic friction, and regulatory uncertainty for U.S. businesses and port users.
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.
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.
Commemorating 30 years of diplomatic relations between the United States and Vietnam on July 11, 2025.
The resolution strengthens U.S.-Vietnam ties—boosting security cooperation, trade, education, and recognition of immigrant communities—while requiring continued taxpayer support and potentially reducing leverage on human-rights issues and creating economic competition for some U.S. workers.
Scam Compound Accountability and Mobilization Act
The bill strengthens U.S. tools, coordination, and victim support to disrupt offshore scam compounds and recover funds, but does so at the cost of heightened diplomatic friction, privacy and due‑process risks, increased public and private-sector costs, and uncertainty from time-limited authorities.
Critical Infrastructure Manufacturing Feasibility Act
The bill aims to guide reshoring and reduce regulatory barriers by producing a public, targeted Commerce study that could create actionable opportunities for manufacturers and rural communities, but it consumes federal resources and risks producing incomplete findings or encouraging protectionist or regionally uneven outcomes.
United States Grain Standards Reauthorization Act of 2025
The bill modernizes and clarifies grain-standards administration—potentially improving grading accuracy, trade efficiency, and financial transparency—but leaves legal and implementation gaps and shifts potential costs and administrative burdens onto producers, agencies, and small businesses unless further funding and clearer drafting are provided.
Undersea Cable Control Act
The bill strengthens U.S. national security and supply‑chain resilience for undersea cables and increases U.S. influence in standards-setting, but does so at the cost of higher compliance and procurement costs, possible trade frictions, and risks of misidentifying firms tied to foreign adversaries.
Maintaining American Superiority by Improving Export Control Transparency Act
The bill strengthens congressional oversight and gives policymakers useful export‑control data to spot enforcement gaps, but increases risks to sensitive investigations, potential reputational harm for named parties, and implementation costs for Commerce.
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
Creates a recurring federal manufacturing advisory council to strengthen training, supply‑chain resilience, and targeted recovery efforts, but it lacks dedicated funding, has a five‑year sunset, and includes industry representation and discretionary information sharing that could limit effectiveness and transparency.
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.
Agricultural Risk Review Act of 2025
The bill strengthens national-security oversight of agricultural land and ag-related transactions by adding USDA expertise and intelligence-triggered reviews for specified adversary nationals, trading greater protection for U.S. food supply and ag IP against increased transaction scrutiny, potential delays, reduced foreign investment, and added administrative burden.
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.
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.
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 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.
Small Business Advocacy Improvements Act of 2025
The bill gives the SBA’s Office of Advocacy formal ability to represent U.S. small businesses in international regulatory fora to protect competitiveness and reduce foreign compliance burdens, but it may stretch SBA resources and risk diplomatic or trade friction when small-business positions diverge from broader U.S. policy.
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 raises public and policymaker attention to alleged CCP human-rights abuses, cybersecurity threats, and overseas environmental harms—strengthening moral and policy justification for pressure—while risking increased U.S.–China tensions, economic fallout for businesses and consumers, and possible distraction from domestic public-health solutions.
Honoring the contributions of small manufacturers of firearms to the economy, culture, and recreational heritage of the United States and recognizing August 2025 as "National Shooting Sports Month".
This resolution highlights and defends the economic and cultural contributions of small firearms manufacturers and shooting sports while offering affirmation rather than new public-safety measures, potentially strengthening industry influence against future regulation.
Calling on the Government of Panama to expel officials and interests of the People's Republic of China and terminate Chinese management of key Panamanian ports.
The resolution strengthens U.S. focus on protecting the Panama Canal, supply chains, and bilateral ties with Panama—potentially improving security and trade resilience—but it does so by endorsing a posture that may raise the likelihood of military involvement, strain diplomatic relationships, and shift funding toward defense over domestic priorities.
Commemorating June 11, 2025, as "World Franchise Day".
This resolution raises awareness of franchising and may encourage jobs, entrepreneurship, and outreach to minorities and veterans, but it is symbolic only—providing no funding or policy change—and risks skewing policy debates or overstating economic benefits.
Reaffirming the deep and steadfast partnership between the United States and Canada and the ties that bind the 2 countries in support of economic and national security.
The resolution strengthens economic and security ties with Canada—supporting exporters, manufacturers, and farmers and boosting deterrence—while increasing U.S. reliance on cross‑border supply chains and creating potential constraints on policy flexibility and additional taxpayer costs.
Medical Supply Chain Resiliency Act
This bill aims to make U.S. medical supply chains more resilient and faster by diversifying suppliers, harmonizing regulations, and increasing oversight and enforcement, but it trades off higher costs, potential harm to some domestic manufacturers, regulatory/safety risks from greater foreign reliance, and added political and administrative complexity.
PROTECT USA Act of 2025
The bill strengthens legal and executive protections for U.S. manufacturers and critical suppliers to shield them from foreign sustainability rules—potentially preserving jobs and supply chains—but does so by concentrating presidential authority and weakening incentives for environmental and international regulatory cooperation, which could trigger trade retaliation, legal risks, and environmental harms.
Chesapeake Bay Conservation Acceleration Act of 2025
This bill directs targeted investments and program streamlining to accelerate Chesapeake Bay water‑quality improvements, conservation adoption, and agricultural workforce training, but concentrates benefits regionally, increases federal costs, and raises concerns about hiring transparency, data privacy, and equitable access for producers outside priority areas.
Customs Facilitation Act of 2025
The bill modernizes and streamlines customs processing—boosting trade efficiency, cash flow for eligible traders, and security through better data—while shifting costs and new compliance, data‑privacy, and governance risks onto small businesses, taxpayers, and oversight processes.
Securing American Agriculture Act
The bill aims to reduce dependence on foreign agricultural inputs and strengthen supply‑chain resilience through interagency analysis and recommendations, but it risks higher costs for producers and consumers and greater regulatory/compliance burdens, potentially compounded by incomplete voluntary data.
FARMLAND Act of 2025
The bill strengthens national-security, food-safety, and enforcement oversight of foreign ownership of U.S. agricultural land—improving transparency and enforcement capacity—but does so at the cost of higher compliance burdens, privacy and reputational risks, potential chilling of legitimate foreign investment, and new financial risks for landowners and program participants.
Richard L. Trumka Protecting the Right to Organize Act of 2025
The bill substantially expands worker organizing rights, strike protections, and NLRB enforcement to strengthen collective bargaining, but does so while raising employer compliance costs, litigation and penalty exposure, and administrative/fiscal uncertainty that could particularly reshape the gig economy and burden small employers.
