To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide the work opportunity tax credit with respect to the hiring of veterans in the field of renewable energy.
To direct the Joint Committee of Congress on the Library to obtain a statue of Shirley Chisholm for placement in the United States Capitol.
The bill ensures a Shirley Chisholm statue is placed in the U.S. Capitol and gives the Architect of the Capitol authority and flexible funding to complete it quickly, at the trade-off of open-ended taxpayer exposure and reduced procedural flexibility or time for procurement and public input.
Magnus White and Safe Streets for Everyone Act of 2026
The bill prioritizes broader, more inclusive automatic emergency braking requirements to improve safety for vulnerable road users and gives manufacturers a predictable regulatory timeline, but that comes with higher manufacturer costs (likely passed to buyers), tight deadlines that could strain implementation, and a cap on AEB maximum speed that limits some high-speed safety improvements.
Artificial Intelligence Civil Rights Act of 2025
The bill substantially increases consumer protections, transparency, and enforcement for consequential algorithms—strengthening rights and oversight—while imposing significant compliance, operational, and litigation costs that could slow innovation, burden small developers and some public deployers, and create regulatory uncertainty.
CLOSE Act
The bill expands EPA authority to regulate and aggregate oil, gas, and H2S sources—strengthening public health and local air quality protections—at the cost of higher compliance and administrative burdens and faster rulemaking that may raise industry and consumer costs and strain government resources.
Algorithmic Accountability Act of 2025
The bill strengthens consumer privacy, transparency, fairness, and federal AI‑oversight capacity for high‑impact automated decision systems but does so by imposing substantial compliance, disclosure, and administrative burdens that may disadvantage small firms, create trade‑secret risks, and leave room for regulatory fragmentation and budgetary trade‑offs.
Uterine Cancer Study Act of 2025
The bill funds/mandates a study to produce disaggregated evidence that could improve protections for women (especially women of color) from harmful hair-straightening chemicals, but doing so may delay immediate action, leave uncertainties if data are incomplete, and could lead to higher consumer costs if new testing requirements follow.
Stephanie Tubbs Jones Uterine Fibroid Research and Education Act of 2025
The bill directs multi-year federal attention and funding toward uterine fibroid research, data collection, and targeted outreach—likely improving diagnosis, treatment options, and equity for many women—while raising federal costs, creating administrative burdens, and risking narrowed treatment choices or uneven messaging if implementation and oversight are weak.
Consumer Online Payment Transparency and Integrity Act
The bill strengthens consumer protections against deceptive renewals, free trials, and dark-pattern interfaces and gives the FTC strong enforcement tools, at the cost of higher compliance and legal burdens for businesses that may be passed to consumers and could produce regulatory uncertainty and delayed benefits.
