DHS Basic Training Accreditation Improvement Act of 2021 This bill addresses issues involving accreditation and law enforcement training, research, and development at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Specifically, the bill requires DHS to report to the congressional homeland security committees on the accreditation status for each basic training program within DHS. If a basic training program loses accreditation, the relevant DHS component shall notify the department within 30 days after such loss. The Under Secretary for Science and Technology must carry out research and development of systems and technologies to enhance access to training offered by the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers to state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement, with particular attention to rural or remote communities, to enhance domestic preparedness for and collective response to terrorism and other homeland security threats.

117-hr-4693, Global Malnutrition Prevention and Treatment Act of 2021
This law creates a government-wide USAID framework to prevent and treat malnutrition globally. It directs targeted programs, data-driven planning, and coordination with domestic and international partners to scale evidence-based nutrition services in priority countries. - Families and children: Focuses on reducing severe malnutrition among children under age five and pregnant and lactating women by expanding proven nutrition interventions and promoting fortified, nutritious foods. - USAID and health systems: Requires USAID to allocate resources, strengthen health systems, and use rigorous monitoring and evaluation to make nutrition programs more effective and accountable. - Partners and financing: Directs the Administrator to mobilize other federal agencies, multilateral donors, United Nations agencies, civil society, NGOs, the private sector, and the US International Development Finance Corporation to build local capacity, improve supply chains, accelerate research, and broaden finance partnerships.
117-hr-1667, Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act
Supports mental health and resilience for health care professionals. It creates grants, an education and awareness campaign, best-practice guidance, and federal evaluation to reduce suicide risk, stigma, and barriers to care. - Health care professionals: Funds training, suicide-prevention best practices, and a national campaign to reduce stigma and encourage use of mental health and substance use disorder services. - Students and institutions: Hospitals, health professions schools, community health centers, rural health clinics, professional associations, tribal organizations, and government entities can get grants for training and capacity building. Grants may last up to three years. - Rural and workforce-shortage areas: Prioritizes health professional shortage areas and rural regions for awards and requires Secretary reports plus a Government Accountability Office (GAO) review within four years to assess program effectiveness and duplication. Authorizes $10 million per year for the education initiative and $35 million per year for mental health programs for 2022–2024, increasing federal spending over that period.
117-hr-263, Big Cat Public Safety Act
Creates a nationwide ban on the private possession and breeding of big cats and their hybrids to boost public safety and support conservation. The law carves narrow exemptions for licensed exhibitors, accredited sanctuaries, state institutions, and veterinarians, and requires existing owners to register certain animals.
117-hr-8404, Respect for Marriage Act
Nationwide federal recognition of marriages between two individuals. This law repeals the Defense of Marriage Act and creates a federal rule that recognizes valid two-person marriages for federal purposes while preserving religious conscience protections. - Couples and families: Federal agencies must treat a marriage between two people as valid if it was valid where it was entered. The law also bars federal recognition of polygamous marriages. - Religious organizations and providers: The law affirms religious liberty and allows religious organizations and persons to refuse to provide services for the solemnization or celebration of a marriage without creating civil claims. - States, territories, and enforcement: "State" is defined to include the District of Columbia and listed territories like Puerto Rico, and validity is generally based on the law where the marriage was entered. The Attorney General can bring civil actions and individuals harmed by denial of recognition have a private right of action for relief.
117-hr-1842, Harriet Tubman Bicentennial Commemorative Coin Act
Creates 2024 commemorative coins honoring Harriet Tubman. The law directs the Treasury to mint three denominations in 2024: up to 50,000 five-dollar gold coins, 400,000 one-dollar silver coins, and 750,000 half-dollar clad coins. Designs must feature Tubman on at least one obverse and include standard inscriptions. The Mint will sell coins in uncirculated and proof qualities and set prices that cover face value, a surcharge, and production costs. Surcharges of $35, $10, and $5 go equally to the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center and The Harriet Tubman Home, Inc. The law requires that issuing these coins not impose any net cost on the U.S. government.
117-hr-55, Emmett Till Antilynching Act
The Emmett Till Antilynching Act strengthens federal hate-crime law by expanding 18 U.S.C. §249 to cover conspiracies tied to lynching and related violent hate offenses and by setting clear penalties for those conspiracies. This change makes conspirators who cause death or serious bodily injury subject to significant federal prison terms and fines.
