Protecting Columbia River Salmon Act of 2026
The bill shifts stronger, quicker control over sea lion removals to Columbia River Tribes to protect salmon and tribal fisheries, trading increased tribal sovereignty and potential fishery benefits against risks to marine-mammal conservation, legal conflicts with federal protections, and community tensions.
To direct the Attorney General to establish an official station for the United States attorney for the Western District of Washington in the county of Clark, Washington, and for other purposes.

Fairness for the Trades Act
The bill expands tax-free 529 plan use to buy qualifying business equipment—reducing startup costs and increasing flexibility for students and families—while introducing unequal access tied to NAICS codes, potential revenue loss, and added compliance burdens.

The bill would likely reduce headlight glare and improve nighttime safety through a federal brightness cap and regulatory uniformity, but it risks higher vehicle costs, potential reductions in forward illumination if the limit is set too low, and a rushed rulemaking process under a tight deadline.
FARM Act
The bill expands owners' and independent repairers' legal access to parts, tools, and software—reducing downtime, costs, and improving transparency and safety—while raising risks of higher equipment prices, intellectual-property/cybersecurity exposure, and added regulatory and litigation burdens for manufacturers and smaller firms.
Expanding Childcare in Rural America Act of 2025
The bill targets expanded childcare access and early education in rural and farming-dependent counties—benefiting rural parents, children, and some local providers—while requiring new federal spending, risking diversion of other rural infrastructure funds, and producing uneven geographic effects and administrative complexity.
Warrior Right to Repair Act of 2025
The bill improves military readiness and may cut sustainment costs by giving DoD access to parts, tools, and clearer rules for repairs, but creates risks of higher near‑term procurement costs, legal and administrative burdens, program schedule delays, and potential long‑term shifts of support costs back to taxpayers.
