Authorizing the use of Emancipation Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center for a ceremony to present the Congressional Gold Medals awarded under the 'Six Triple Eight' Congressional Gold Medal Act of 2021.
The resolution authorizes a public, secure ceremony honoring the Six Triple Eight on April 29, 2025 — increasing public access and safety while temporarily restricting some visitor access and imposing modest facility costs.
Protect Moms From Domestic Violence Act
The bill strengthens data, guidance, and targeted funding to better identify and address perinatal violence, trauma, and behavioral health needs—especially for marginalized mothers—but it creates new costs, administrative burdens, and risks of uneven uptake, privacy concerns, and short-lived pilots unless funding and implementation capacity are adequate.
Perinatal Workforce Act
The bill aims to expand and diversify the perinatal workforce and improve culturally competent, year-long postpartum supports—especially for underserved communities—but does so with modest funding, non‑binding guidance, and implementation complexity that could leave benefits uneven and impose costs and administrative burdens on states, providers, and small training programs.
CONNECT Act
The bill strengthens rights, supports, and accountability for older youth in foster care and standardizes best practices across states and tribes, but it risks added costs, budget pressures, and increased paperwork for agencies and caseworkers unless funding or capacity is provided.
School Social Workers Improving Student Success Act
The bill expands federal support to place and improve school social work in high-need districts—likely boosting mental health supports for many students—but requires new federal spending, uses a competitive grant model and qualification rules that may leave some districts behind and raise administrative and hiring costs.
Tribal Tax and Investment Reform Act of 2026
The bill directs substantial new tax and credit benefits and clearer legal treatment to strengthen tribal self-determination, economic development, health workforce recruitment, and social supports, but does so at the cost of increased federal tax expenditures, added administrative complexity, and some legal and compliance trade-offs for tribes, states, and federal agencies.
Maintain Access to Vital Social Security Services Act of 2026
The bill prioritizes protecting in-person access and transparency for vulnerable beneficiaries and communities, but does so at the cost of higher taxpayer expenses, reduced SSA flexibility to consolidate or modernize, and slower operational decision-making.
Mental Health and MAMA Act of 2026
The bill expands no‑cost in‑network maternal mental health and SUD coverage, continuity of care, and telehealth access for pregnant and postpartum people, at the cost of higher insurer/employer expenses, limited protection for out‑of‑network care, and a two‑year implementation delay.
COLAs Don’t Count Act of 2026
The bill protects low-income households (including seniors and people with disabilities) from temporary COLA-related SNAP benefit losses and reduces churn for state/local agencies, at the cost of higher federal SNAP outlays and some added administrative work for states that coordinate supplementary payments.
SNAP Back Act of 2025
The bill broadens SNAP eligibility to several vulnerable groups—improving access to food assistance—while creating higher program costs and administrative/verification burdens that could limit or complicate implementation.
