To reauthorize the Fort Peck Reservation Rural Water System Act of 2000.

Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management relating to "Miles City Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment".
SBA Fraud Enforcement Extension Act
The bill trades greater predictability and reduced legal exposure for grant recipients (and modest savings in enforcement costs) against a narrower window to detect, punish, and recover fraud, which could reduce deterrence and limit recovery of misspent funds.
Expanding Access to Capital for Rural Job Creators Act
The bill inserts unspecified regulatory text that creates legal and operational uncertainty and may raise compliance costs for financial firms until the content is clarified.
Informed Investor Access Act
The bill expands access to private capital markets for investors who receive personalized advice and gives issuers clearer rules for accreditation, but it increases the risk that less-sophisticated investors enter risky, illiquid investments and raises compliance and litigation costs for market participants.
To allow certain Federal minerals to be mined consistent with the Bull Mountains Mining Plan Modification, and for other purposes.
The bill secures local jobs, revenue, and legal certainty by approving a specific coal lease, while increasing local pollution risks, locking in fossil-fuel emissions, limiting federal review authority, and exposing taxpayers to potential long-term remediation costs.
Dry-Redwater Regional Water Authorization Act
The bill funds and enables construction of regional water systems that will substantially improve rural water access and local control, but it shifts significant long‑term operating costs and financial risk onto local authorities, ratepayers, and federal taxpayers while constraining some financing and implementation flexibility.
PARTNERS Act of 2026
The bill strengthens state authority and enforcement to protect Medicare Advantage enrollees, but at the cost of added regulatory complexity, higher compliance costs, and demands on federal coordination that could reduce plan availability or strain oversight resources.
Accelerating Forest Management Act
The bill speeds and lowers the cost of removing hazardous trees and conducting salvage work—reducing local wildfire risk and restoring access—while trading away environmental review and permitting more road-building and larger-scale operations that can harm habitats, water, recreation, and long-term ecosystem services.
Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Modernization Act of 2026
The bill substantially expands tribal control and tools to accelerate housing delivery and financing on tribal lands, but does so at the cost of greater federal spending exposure and reduced uniform federal oversight, civil‑rights and environmental safeguards in some areas.
