Ad astra per aspera
To the stars through difficulties
SERV Act
The bill increases reporting and oversight intended to improve veterans’ awareness of entrepreneurship and lending programs (potentially improving access to credit), but with limited or no new funding the effort may impose administrative costs, privacy risks, and could fail to produce timely, actionable benefits.
To require officers and employees of the Department of Homeland Security to receive training with respect to tribes, and for other purposes.
Truth in National Parks Act
21st Century Entrepreneurship Act
SSI Savings and Efficiency Act of 2026
Data to Save Moms Act
The bill strengthens maternal mortality review processes, data, and culturally informed services—especially for Tribal and racial/ethnic minority communities—and expands access to perinatal supports, at the cost of increased federal spending, new administrative and reporting burdens, and some risks around privacy, timeliness, and ensuring culturally rooted implementation.
Resilient Food Supply Chain and Affordability Act
The bill broadens grant eligibility to strengthen local meat and poultry processing, supply-chain resilience, and food safety—benefiting rural communities and consumers—but risks diverting funds from other agricultural needs, enabling larger processors to capture benefits, and perpetuating federal spending without added oversight.
Native American Entrepreneurial Opportunity Act
The bill increases targeted SBA support and tailored coordination to boost tribal entrepreneurship and access to contracts, but it raises federal costs, risks duplicating existing efforts, and is time-limited by a seven-year sunset.
Afterschool ACCESS Act
The bill makes it easier and more attractive to donate temporary use of property and vehicles to community learning centers—potentially expanding services for children and families—but does so at the cost of reduced federal revenue and added valuation, compliance, and abuse risks that may require enforcement and administrative resources.
SAF Act
The bill provides significant financial support and multi‑year certainty to qualifying SAF producers to accelerate lower‑carbon aviation fuels, but it reduces federal revenue and tends to favor larger, ASTM‑compliant producers while excluding some feedstocks and smaller competitors.
