HR10619, Spending Safeguard Act
This bill would create automatic spending safeguards for direct spending programs that lack a dollar-level authorization. It would require the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to set numerical limits, publish a public scorecard, and trigger obligation limits if programs are projected to exceed their caps. - Households and benefit recipients could face interrupted payments or limits if a program hits its safeguard and an obligation limitation takes effect 30 days after a breach is found. Agencies must warn participants that funding availability could be affected. - The OMB Director would have 90 days to set a safeguard for any newly enacted or reauthorized direct spending program that lacks an explicit dollar authorization. Safeguards are based on the program's estimated 6-year cost. - Safeguard amounts would be set at 120 percent of estimated cost for certain defense, health, income-security, and veterans budget areas and 110 percent for other areas. Medicare and Social Security are excluded. - Treasury must send monthly spending reports to OMB within 7 days of each month end and the Director must send breach reports to Budget Committees within 15 days. The President's Budget must show the relationship between program spending and the applicable limit.
HR21, Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act
Mandates care and penalties for infants born alive after an abortion. This bill would set standards of care, require reporting, create criminal penalties, and allow civil suits when an infant is born alive following an abortion. - Women and families: A woman on whom an abortion is performed may sue anyone who violates the law and recover objectively verifiable medical and psychological damages, punitive damages, and statutory damages equal to three times the cost of the abortion. Courts must award reasonable attorney's fees to prevailing plaintiffs and may award fees to defendants if a suit is frivolous. - Health care practitioners and facility employees: Any practitioner present at a birth resulting from an abortion must exercise the same professional skill, care, and diligence as for any other live-born infant of the same gestational age. Practitioners or employees who know of a failure to comply must immediately report the violation to appropriate State or Federal law enforcement. - Criminal and statutory consequences: Violators face fines, up to 5 years in prison, or both, and anyone who intentionally kills a born-alive infant is punished under the murder statute. The bill also updates chapter headings and adds statutory definitions for "abortion" and "attempt."
HR1870, SPEED for BEAD Act
Would streamline and expand broadband deployment under the BEAD program by setting a clear gigabit standard, allowing any technology that meets performance, and limiting grant-related conditions and federal rate-setting. - Families and communities: Would treat any technology that meets the performance criteria as reliable broadband and defines gigabit as at least 1,000 megabits per second (1,000 Mbps), broadening which builds qualify. - Workers and trainees: Would add telecommunications workforce development as an eligible use of BEAD funds, opening federal support for training and hiring. - Local implementers and providers: Would let project applicants remove high-cost locations from defined project areas and still receive subgrants, and would bar grant conditions tied to wages, project labor agreements, union or local-hiring rules, diversity or equity requirements, network management rules like data caps, and certain letters of credit. - Program funding rules: Would require unused BEAD allocations, after deadlines, to be transferred to the general fund of the Treasury.
HR5181, SOAR Act Improvements Act
broaden eligibility for Washington-area families while extending and reshaping the District of Columbia scholarship program's funding, accreditation, testing, and reporting rules to increase access and oversight. - Families and students: Would allow students living anywhere in the Washington metropolitan region to qualify, adding Montgomery and Prince George’s counties in Maryland and Arlington and Fairfax counties plus Alexandria and Falls Church in Virginia. It also replaces "kindergarten" with "pre-kindergarten" for scholarship uses to cover younger children. - Schools and scholarship entities: Would make grants 5-year awards with the option to renew for up to another 5 years without a new competition if the Secretary agrees. It requires participating schools to hold national or regional accreditation and gives schools joining after enactment up to 5 years to obtain full accreditation. - Program oversight and funding: Would raise tutoring-related student assistance from $2 million to $2.2 million and let grant recipients set lower maximum scholarship amounts if desired. It directs the Institute of Education Sciences to run evaluations and publish a public report by January 1, 2027 and every 7 years after, updates what evaluations must cover including academic progress, graduation and college outcomes, and expands reporting to include school violence, suspensions, and expulsions. It also extends the program's authorization of appropriations through fiscal year 2032 and changes how yearly funds are split beginning in fiscal year 2024.
HR987, Fair Access to Banking Act
Prevents banks and payment networks from cutting off customers for political or reputational reasons. It sets a national standard that forces objective, risk-based decisions and creates a private right of action for people and businesses harmed by unfair denials. - Families and households keep access to bank accounts and payment services without being excluded for politics or reputation, and any denial must include a written, quantifiable justification. - Lawful businesses and nonprofits, including politically unpopular ones, gain protection from category-based refusals and can sue for treble damages and attorney’s fees if a covered institution violates the rules. - Banks, credit unions, and payment networks must adopt impartial, data-driven risk standards, may face civil penalties, and large institutions that refuse service could lose access to discount window lending or automated clearing house services.
HR7300, Make Elections Great Again Act
This bill would impose a new, nationwide photo ID and documentary proof regime for Federal voting and overhaul how states register and verify voters. It also centralizes voter rolls and tightens ballot rules like mandatory paper ballots and mail‑vote controls. - Voters: In‑person voters would need a valid photo ID to get a ballot and could cure a provisional ballot by providing ID or a religious‑photography affidavit within 3 days. Mail voters must provide a copy of photo ID or last four digits of their Social Security number plus an affidavit if they cannot get ID. - State election officials and agencies: States would have to run a single, computerized statewide registration list and verify eligibility at least every 30 days using databases like the Social Security Administration and DHS SAVE. Registrants would need documentary proof of U.S. citizenship for new registrations and face specific removal and notice procedures. - Election administration and security: The bill would require paper ballots, expand post‑election audits using HAVA funds, ban ranked‑choice voting for Federal offices, add barcode tracking and new chain‑of‑custody rules for mail ballots.
Surfaced from PRIA's policy knowledge graph, ranked by signal strength, connected by evidence.
Would block federal eminent domain for most agricultural land when a feasible alternative exists, defines covered land, and excludes tiny low‑income parcels.
