Wisdom, Justice, Moderation
FDA Modernization Act 3.0
The bill clarifies and accelerates FDA rules for 'nonclinical' tests—improving regulatory clarity and predictability for researchers and health systems—at the cost of reduced public notice, potential short-term compliance costs, and some risk of interpretive gaps about which studies are covered.
Improving Care in Rural America Reauthorization Act of 2025
The bill sustains and directs federal grant support to expand and better-coordinate rural health services and increase community input, while creating modest new administrative burdens and preserving ongoing federal spending that may limit funding flexibility.
Undersea Cable Protection Act of 2025
The bill speeds and simplifies undersea cable deployment (benefiting consumers, businesses, and rural broadband) while narrowing sanctuary-specific protections and oversight, increasing environmental and governance risks for sanctuary-dependent communities and public trust.
ITS Codification Act
The bill boosts federal spectrum research, public-safety tracking technology, and commercialization to expand civilian spectrum access and improve rescue capabilities, while imposing federal costs and creating risks of interference, favoritism, and industry compliance burdens.
Electing a Member to a certain standing committee of the House of Representatives.
Chief Chris Eddy’s Law
The bill increases safety and national consistency by requiring placards and commissioning a refrigerant-risk study, but it raises costs and administrative burdens for carriers and governments and may create implementation uncertainty or delay concrete regulatory action.
Zero Tolerance for Political Violence Act of 2026
The bill raises penalties to better protect and deter attacks on high‑level federal officials and simplify prosecutions, but does so by imposing mandatory minimum sentences that reduce judicial discretion, raise incarceration costs, and risk exacerbating racial and socioeconomic disparities.
Save America’s Family Forests Act of 2026
The bill gives timber owners much bigger and inflation-protected immediate tax relief for reforestation (including very large disaster-related allowances) and simplifies pass-through treatment, at the cost of reduced federal revenue, recapture rules and caps that limit benefits for some owners, and additional compliance complexity and short-term filing uncertainty.
Rural and Underserved Health Care Staffing Act
The bill makes it easier and cheaper for health care providers to use temporary clinicians by treating qualifying locum tenens as independent contractors for certain federal labor laws, but it does so at the cost of reduced worker protections and potential administrative confusion across other legal and benefit systems.
GAP Supply Act
The bill increases near‑term access to compounded alternatives by using a 180‑day shortage lookback—helping hospitals and patients—but raises safety risks, could weaken manufacturers' incentives to remedy shortages, and adds oversight burdens.
