The bill strengthens U.S. tools to identify, sanction, and block Iran-linked actors and reduce their ability to fund violence, while increasing risks of diplomatic friction, potential retaliation, compliance burdens on businesses, and enforcement costs for taxpayers.
To prohibit Federal law enforcement agencies from using or accessing State or local surveillance equipment or data to circumvent warrant requirements, to establish a Jurisdictional Wall List of covered technologies, and for other purposes.
Preserving Our Constitution Act of 2026

Eastern Frontier Defense Infrastructure Readiness Act
The bill aims to strengthen deterrence and allied infrastructure/resilience on NATO's eastern flank through targeted assessments, prioritized aid, and clearer oversight—at the cost of higher defense spending, administrative burdens, risk of strategic entanglement, and potential civilian impacts in allied countries.

The bill pilots lower-cost OTC hearing aids and gathers evidence to guide VA policy—potentially expanding timely, affordable care for many veterans—while also delaying immediate broader coverage and risking exclusion of veterans without connectivity, with uncertain policy follow-through.
Ensuring Justice for Victims of Partial-Birth Abortion Act
The bill increases federal investigation, reporting, and oversight of alleged §1531 violations—trading greater transparency and the potential for more consistent enforcement for increased federal resource burdens, legal risks to providers and patients, and possible chilling of reproductive‑health services.
Know Your American Customer Act
The bill creates clearer federal rules and safe harbors for banks—improving compliance and reducing some legal risks—while substantially increasing the risk of account denial, criminal penalties, privacy exposure, and financial hardship for non‑lawfully present immigrants and those who rely on informal or intermediary arrangements.
