Track bills, resolutions, and amendments moving through Congress
To designate the community-based outpatient clinic of the Department of Veterans Affairs in Lafayette, Louisiana, as the "Rodney C. Hamilton Sr. VA Clinic".
The bill honors a local veteran and clarifies official references to the Lafayette VA clinic, at the cost of small administrative expenses and a risk of local disagreement over the choice of honoree.
To name the Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic in Newton, New Jersey, as the "Anthony "Tony" J. Gallopo VA Clinic".
The bill provides local symbolic recognition by renaming a VA outpatient clinic and updating records, offering modest clarity and honor at minimal cost but without adding services or benefits for veterans.
To name the Department of Veterans Affairs community-based outpatient clinic in San Jose, California, as the "Corporal Patrick D. Tillman VA Clinic".
The bill formally honors Pat Tillman by naming a VA clinic and recognizing his service—boosting veterans' recognition and reducing naming ambiguity—at the cost of minor taxpayer expenses and possible local controversy, without altering services.
Captain Paul W. Bud Bucha VA Medical Center Act of 2025
The bill symbolically honors veterans and clarifies a VA facility's name—helping awareness, destigmatization, and administrative consistency—while offering no new funding or policy changes and imposing only minor administrative costs and short-term transition confusion.
To name the Department of Veterans Affairs multispecialty clinic in Marietta, Georgia, as the "Colonel Michael H. Boyce Department of Veterans Affairs Multispecialty Clinic".
The bill clarifies and standardizes the VA clinic name in Marietta—improving veterans' ability to find and be referred to care—while imposing only minor costs and short-term administrative work to update records and materials.
Failing Bank Acquisition Fairness Act
The bill raises transparency and legal safeguards to better protect taxpayers, depositors, and the Deposit Insurance Fund, but its tighter approval standards and reporting requirements may slow emergency bank resolutions and increase administrative costs.
Common Cents Act
The bill reduces federal coin-production costs and gives the Mint flexibility (by ending penny circulation and permitting a cheaper nickel composition) at the expense of modest consumer price/rounding effects, potential equipment costs for businesses, and small cultural/communication downsides.
Sunshine Protection Act of 2025
The bill ends twice-yearly clock changes to preserve later evening daylight and state time choices, trading convenience and evening benefits against darker winter mornings, business/schedule disruption, and administrative transition costs.
Protecting Privacy in Purchases Act
The bill protects firearms retailers' privacy and limits firearm-specific transaction labeling while preserving payment-security functions, but it shifts enforcement to the federal level, preempts local regulation, and leaves retailers without a private lawsuit option — potentially slowing remedies and imposing costs on banks.
Older Americans Act Reauthorization Act of 2025
The bill modernizes and expands supports, protections, and coordination for older adults (and caregivers and tribal elders), improving services and transparency, but does so while creating significant new administrative obligations, potential unfunded costs, and some privacy/equity risks that could strain state and local implementers.
Reimbursable Screening Services Program Extension Act of 2026
The bill trades higher federal spending to extend and expand reimbursable airport screening—improving continuity and access for more small/regional airports—against continued limits on which airports qualify and increased costs to taxpayers.
One-Stop Pilot Program Extension Act
The bill speeds and simplifies baggage transfers and accepts trusted foreign screening to reduce delays and costs, but it increases reliance on foreign screening and international image-sharing—raising security, privacy, and potential cost‑shift risks for passengers and carriers.
Improving Travel for Military Members Act
The bill creates a pilot to speed security screening for military travelers and allow TSA to shift checkpoint resources for efficiency, at the cost of added taxpayer expense and a risk of longer waits or misapplied enforcement for other travelers if not carefully managed.
Improving Travel for American Families Act
The bill pilots expedited airport lanes to speed screening for families and test operational changes while keeping vetting standards, but it risks slower service for other travelers, added public costs, and perceptions of unequal treatment.
Homeland Security Capabilities Preservation Reporting Act of 2026
SAFEGUARDS Act of 2026
The bill prioritizes dedicating passenger-paid fees to strengthen aviation security and technology—improving screening and planning—but likely raises costs for travelers and reduces fiscal flexibility for other programs, with some uncertainty about enforcement and timing.
FEC Administrative Improvements Act
The bill makes campaign disbursements faster and cheaper by allowing electronic payment methods from segregated accounts, but it raises privacy, auditing, enforcement, and compliance risks that will likely require clearer rules and stronger safeguards.
Measuring Illicit Fentanyl Trafficking Act
The bill strengthens DHS information-sharing and accountability to fight fentanyl more effectively, but imposes administrative costs and risks incentive misalignment and privacy harms if safeguards and balanced metrics are not implemented.
Major Non-NATO Ally Terror Threat Assessment Act
The bill improves congressional insight into foreign terrorist threats and technology-enabled risks and helps identify DHS shortfalls for targeted fixes, but concentrates classified information among lawmakers—reducing public transparency, risking politicized responses, and potentially increasing taxpayer costs.
To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 201 East Grant Avenue in Georgetown, Ohio, as the "Ulysses S. Grant Post Office Building".
The bill provides symbolic local recognition for Ulysses S. Grant that may boost civic pride, at the modest cost of administrative updates borne by taxpayers and federal postal services.
ELO Realignment and Strategic Engagement Reform Act of 2026
The bill centralizes and standardizes ELO functions to improve continuity, efficiency, and congressional oversight for SLTT intelligence support, but it restricts DHS staffing flexibility and may disrupt employees, local partnerships, and privacy/oversight arrangements during the transition.
To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 10660 Page Avenue in Fairfax, Virginia, as the "Congressman Gerald E. Connolly Post Office Building".
The bill honors Congressman Gerald E. Connolly by naming a local post office, giving the community a consistent, identifiable landmark while creating only minor administrative costs and the potential for limited local disagreement.
Stop Foreign Funds in Elections Act
The bill strengthens protections against foreign funding in state and local ballot measures and gives officials clearer authority to block foreign-linked contributions, but it imposes screening costs on small campaigns and restricts political participation by lawful noncitizen residents.
Weatherizing Infrastructure in the North and Terrorism Emergency Readiness Act of 2025
The bill strengthens preparedness and infrastructure resilience for extreme-cold terrorist scenarios and speeds congressional follow-up, but it requires public and private resources and risks rushed conclusions and reduced public transparency.
Small Business Technological Advancement Act
The bill helps small businesses access and adopt modern and AI-enabled software via SBA 7(a) loans to boost competitiveness, but increases lending risks, potential taxpayer exposure, and may accelerate workforce disruption and reskilling needs.
Recover COVID Unemployment Fraud in Banks Act
The bill expands tools and time to recover improper pandemic unemployment payments and strengthen fraud enforcement — helping governments recoup funds and deter abuse — but it increases legal exposure for past recipients, adds compliance and administrative costs, and raises due‑process and privacy risks for some individuals.
KIDS Act
The bill substantially tightens protections for minors online—through age verification, default protective settings, parental controls, and oversight—trading off significant compliance costs, privacy/surveillance risks from identity checks, potential overblocking and limits on minors' autonomy, and legal/preemption complexities that could chill services and state-level innovation.
Small Business Lending Fraud Prevention Act
The bill improves fairness, transparency, and accountability in SBA loan decisions by requiring conflict-of-interest certifications and timely rulemaking, while imposing modest costs, extra compliance work for employees, and the risk of short-term delays for borrowers.
Energy Threat Analysis Center Act of 2026
The bill strengthens national cybersecurity for the energy sector and speeds public‑private deployment of defenses, but does so with reduced transparency, limited external oversight, and centralized discretion that may favor larger providers over smaller or rural utilities.
Rural and Municipal Utility Cybersecurity Act
The bill directs multi-year federal funding and assistance to strengthen cybersecurity at rural and municipal utilities—improving resilience and incident response—while imposing federal cost, reducing some public transparency, and risking uneven access if competitive awards favor better-resourced applicants.
