This bill would make it illegal to sell, offer for sale, or facilitate the sale of items that impair license plate readability. The ban would cover goods marketed to hide plates, counterfeit or materially altered plates, year-of-manufacture plates used without State permission, and State-issued plates sold without authorization. The Federal Trade Commission would enforce the prohibition and could write regulations under the FTC Act. The prohibition would apply to sales or offers made 90 days after enactment.
If enacted, the FHWA Administrator would publish nonbinding advice on plate readability within 90 days. The advice would cover plate appearance, and frames and covers that make camera reading worse. FHWA would also start a grant program within 90 days for States, local governments, law enforcement, multi-jurisdiction groups, and toll owners to build IT, data sharing, and training to identify repeat toll evaders. The bill would authorize $10,000,000 per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2030 to carry out these activities.

HR5658 — Child Care for Every Community Act
This bill would create a universal, community-based child care and early learning entitlement that guarantees access for every child younger than compulsory school age. It focuses on affordable slots, community control through designated "prime sponsors," and national standards for quality, workforce, facilities and family supports. - Families: Every covered child would be entitled to a funded child care slot and low-income families (at or below 200% of the poverty line) could pay no fees, with family fees capped at 7% of income for others. Programs must offer culturally and linguistically appropriate options and supports for homeless, migrant, dual-language and children with disabilities. - Workers and providers: The bill would fund training, set staff qualification timelines, and require wages comparable to local school pay or military child care scales with a living wage floor and a cap at Executive Schedule level II. Grants would support recruitment, preservice and inservice training and facility upgrades. - Communities and states: Local prime sponsors, including tribes and nonprofits, would plan services, coordinate with Head Start, schools and nutrition programs, and could receive supplemental grants to scale in underserved areas. The Secretary would allocate funds with at least 50% of non-entitlement remaining funds for workforce and compensation and at least 20% for supplemental assistance.

HRES1058 — Recognizing that it is the duty of the Federal Government to develop and implement a Transgender Bill of Rights to protect and codify the rights of transgender and nonbinary people under the law and ensure their access to medical care, shelter, safety, and economic security.
A federal "Transgender Bill of Rights" to codify and protect the rights of transgender and nonbinary people. It aims to lock in access to medical care, legal identity, housing, employment, and safety across federal laws and programs. - Families and youth gain protections for gender-affirming care and against harmful practices. The resolution would prohibit health-care discrimination, remove unnecessary government limits on care, protect supportive parents, ban conversion practices, and push for more trained providers and telehealth access. - Workers, renters, and borrowers would see clearer federal civil-rights coverage. It calls for amending Title VII, the Fair Housing Act, and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act to bar discrimination based on gender identity and sex characteristics. - Legal identity, military service, and safety measures would be eased. The resolution directs simpler federal document changes including self-attestation and an "X" marker, requires TRICARE and the Department of Veterans Affairs to cover gender-affirming care, improves detention and asylum protections, and creates a Justice Department liaison plus funding for enforcement. It also asks federal surveys to collect voluntary gender identity data and centers transgender-led policy input. The resolution directs agencies to rewrite rules and expand enforcement to protect transgender and nonbinary people across health, civil rights, and public safety.

This bill would restore and extend energy tax credits and cost-recovery rules to keep incentives for wind, solar, clean fuels, efficiency upgrades, and clean vehicles available for a longer period. It rewrites timing and eligibility for many existing credits so they apply again or last longer. - Homeowners would keep the residential clean energy tax credit and see a top credit of 30% for qualifying installations. - Wind and solar developers would regain eligibility for key production and investment credits and face a later phaseout tied to a 25% emissions threshold or the year 2032. - Buyers of clean cars and commercial fleets would get extended access to vehicle and refueling credits, with phased increases that reach full value after 2028 and many vehicle credits extended through 2032. - Manufacturers and clean-tech projects would benefit from reinstated advanced manufacturing and production credits and restored cost-recovery rules for energy property. - Sustainable aviation fuel producers would receive per-gallon credits of 35 cents for one category and $1.75 for another, with ASTM-based definitions and some feedstock exclusions.
