Electing a member to a certain standing committee of the House of Representatives.
Transparency in Billing Act of 2026
The bill strengthens billing transparency and enforcement—reducing surprise bills and improving claims accuracy—but imposes compliance and enforcement costs that may strain hospitals (especially small/rural providers), risk access reductions, and delay implementation while rulemaking proceeds.
Workforce Investments Accountability Act
The bill shifts funding and accountability toward measurable training outcomes—improving transparency and direct training for workers—but does so by imposing reporting requirements, stricter sanctions, and mandatory training spending that reduce local flexibility and could limit supportive services and privacy protections.
Safeguarding Taxpayer Dollars in Child Care Act of 2026
The bill tightens enforcement to protect children and federal dollars by permanently barring providers who commit fraud, but that stricter, permanent approach can reduce local service availability and impose heavy burdens and fairness concerns on small providers.
Families’ Rights and Responsibilities Act
The bill substantially strengthens and federalizes parental rights and judicial protection over children's upbringing, education, and health-care decisions—boosting family autonomy and access to remedies—but at the likely cost of reduced minors' access to some health and educational protections, increased litigation and government costs, and constraints on public‑health and school policies.
To amend title 36, United States Code, to designate the composition known as "Here Rests in Honored Glory" by Donald B. Miller as the national hymn of the United States.
The bill establishes a shared national hymn as a symbolic civic gesture while producing no substantive policy or budgetary changes and only minimal administrative impact.
Union Members Right to Know Act
The bill increases transparency and speeds implementation—giving workers, employers, and union members clearer, faster access to rules and documents—at the cost of added administrative burdens on unions (especially small/rural ones) and a heightened risk that compressed rulemaking will produce lower-quality regulations or reveal sensitive bargaining information.
Unfunded Mandates Accountability and Transparency Act of 2025
The bill increases transparency, early public input, and quantified cost–benefit discipline in federal rulemaking—but does so by concentrating review authority and adding procedural and analytical steps that are likely to slow rulemaking, raise administrative and compliance costs, and risk weakening protections that are hard to monetize.
Official Time Reporting Act
The bill increases public and managerial transparency into official time and union dues—improving oversight—while imposing reporting costs, administrative burdens, privacy risks, and potential political exposure for federal employees and unions.
SOAR Act Improvements Act
The bill expands and extends D.C. scholarship funding, increases program flexibility (pre-K, tutoring, targeted aid), and strengthens independent evaluation and safety reporting — but does so while shifting who receives funds, raising costs and administrative burdens, tightening accreditation rules that may exclude some providers, and reducing competitive award processes and some comparative academic transparency.
