I have found it
Clergy Act
The bill gives eligible religious workers a clear, one‑time path to join Social Security and access retirement/survivor benefits, but doing so can trigger substantial immediate and ongoing tax costs, administrative burdens, and potential timing confusion for benefit payments.
Save Our Sequoias Act
The bill directs extensive new coordination, funding, and expedited authorities to protect and restore giant sequoias—trading faster, better‑funded action and greater Tribal participation for higher federal costs, reduced routine public/environmental review, and increased role for donors and private
ACERO Act
The bill aims to strengthen wildfire response and responder coordination through NASA-led research and procurement limits that reduce security risks, but it could restrict access to affordable drones, raise privacy concerns, and divert or duplicate federal resources.
ANCHOR Act
The bill improves at-sea research capabilities and cybersecurity and clarifies costs, but those benefits come with higher operating costs, added staffing/training burdens, and risks of uneven implementation or centralized vulnerabilities.
CAL Repayment Act
The bill strengthens federal protection of taxpayer funds by forcing rapid repayment and empowering quick recoveries, but that speed risks creating significant short‑term fiscal strain and legal uncertainty for state and local governments.
Surface Transportation Research and Development Act of 2026
The bill preserves and modernizes federal transportation program authority, data governance, and research/technical standards through 2031—supporting continuity, data quality, research, and environmental gains—at the cost of increased long‑term federal commitments, implementation and compliance costs, greater centralization of data authority, and some risks to data access and infrastructure quality.
OUTPACE in Space Act
The bill accelerates commercial space activity and tightens protections against risky foreign partnerships—boosting launch capacity and national security—while increasing safety, hiring‑process, and economic/compliance risks that could raise costs for businesses and taxpayers.
Doug LaMalfa Protect Innocent Victims of Taxation After Fire Extension Act
The bill provides near-term, tax-free relief to uninsured wildfire victims and simplifies recovery-related tax reporting through 2032, but it limits other tax benefits, may increase future taxable gains on property, and offers only a temporary solution.
HIRE DEA Act
The bill speeds DEA hiring and fills specialized anti‑drug positions to strengthen enforcement capacity, at the cost of reducing competitive hiring protections and risking higher federal personnel expenses.
To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to make certain technology investments eligible for additional subsidization, and for other purposes.
The bill broadens allowable subsidies to support digital and energy-efficiency tools that can improve water-system performance, resilience, and emissions, but it risks diverting limited funds from direct construction aid to disadvantaged communities, creating equity and administrative challenges and potential long-term costs for taxpayers and ratepayers.
