Bills

A bill to establish a process for waiver of coastwise endorsement requirements.

This resolution seeks to impose formal disciplinary action against Representative Andrew Ogles for statements made through official social media accounts and public forums that the resolution characterizes as Islamophobic, racist, and anti-immigrant. The resolution aims to accomplish two primary objectives: first, to formally censure Representative Ogles through a public pronouncement on the House floor, and second, to remove him from his position on the House Committee on Homeland Security. The resolution responds to specific statements made by Representative Ogles on March 9, 2026, and subsequently, including allegations that he suggested Muslim elected officials are conspiring to establish an Islamic government, called for denaturalization and deportation of officials based on religion, stated that Muslims do not belong in American society, rejected pluralism as a concept, and made derogatory statements about Muslim population growth. The resolution represents the House of Representatives exercising its constitutional authority to discipline its own members for conduct deemed inappropriate or harmful to the institution and contrary to American values of religious tolerance and pluralism.

To establish within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration a research program comprising global ocean monitoring and observing, and for other purposes.

A bill to establish an AmeriCorps Administration to carry out the national and volunteer service programs, to expand participation in such programs, and for other purposes.

The Student Aid Fraud Oversight and Accountability Act of 2026 establishes a targeted oversight mechanism to address potential identity fraud in federal student aid programs. The legislation creates a new priority category for program reviews conducted by the Department of Education, specifically focusing on institutions of higher education that disburse Title IV federal financial aid to students whose Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) applications present reasonable suspicion of identity fraud without proper verification. The bill aims to strengthen the integrity of federal student aid programs by incentivizing institutions to implement robust identity verification procedures before disbursing federal funds. By creating this oversight priority, the legislation seeks to reduce fraudulent disbursements while maintaining institutional autonomy in aid administration for those institutions that adopt appropriate verification measures.

A bill to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to prevent hospitals or skilled nursing facilities that are owned by certain firms from participating in the Medicare program.

This concurrent resolution seeks to establish March 10, 2026, as 'Abortion Provider Appreciation Day' to honor and recognize the contributions of abortion providers and their staff. The resolution responds to the changed landscape of abortion access following the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022. The resolution aims to acknowledge the courage and dedication of healthcare professionals who continue to provide abortion services despite facing significant threats, violence, harassment, and legal restrictions. The date of March 10 commemorates the 1993 murder of Dr. David Gunn, the first abortion provider killed in the United States, marking a pivotal moment in the history of violence against reproductive healthcare workers. The resolution serves both as a symbolic gesture of appreciation and as a policy statement affirming congressional commitment to protecting abortion providers and ensuring patient access to reproductive healthcare services.

A bill to make continuing appropriations for Federal Emergency Management Agency pay and operations in the event of a Federal Government shutdown, and for other purposes.

To direct the Joint Committee of Congress on the Library to obtain a statue of Clarence Mitchell, Jr. for placement in the United States Capitol.

The HONOR Gold Star Families Act represents a comprehensive effort to enhance financial support for families of deceased service members by substantially increasing the death gratuity payment and establishing an automatic inflation adjustment mechanism. The legislation recognizes that the current death gratuity amount has not kept pace with the cost of living and seeks to provide more meaningful financial assistance to Gold Star Families who have made the ultimate sacrifice. By doubling the base payment and implementing annual cost-of-living adjustments tied to the Consumer Price Index, the bill aims to ensure that this benefit maintains its purchasing power over time and provides adequate support to surviving family members during their time of loss.

A bill to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to eliminate the 190-day lifetime limit on inpatient psychiatric hospital services under the Medicare Program.

This bill seeks to fundamentally alter the legal landscape surrounding medication abortion in the United States through two primary mechanisms. First, it retroactively withdraws the Food and Drug Administration's approval of mifepristone for pregnancy termination, effectively removing this medication from legal use for abortion purposes despite its decades-long approval history. Second, it creates a novel federal cause of action that would allow women to sue for harm allegedly caused by chemical abortion drugs. The legislation represents a significant federal intervention into reproductive healthcare, pharmaceutical regulation, and tort law, aiming to restrict access to medication abortion through both regulatory withdrawal and expanded civil liability. The bill's scope extends beyond mifepristone to encompass other chemical abortion drugs, though the precise definition of this category remains unclear in the provided text.

A bill to amend section 5316 of title 31, United States Code, to include concerning money instruments relating to certain countries in reports under that section, and for other purposes.

This resolution expresses the Senate's support for International Women's Day and commits the United States to advancing women's rights and empowerment globally. The resolution addresses the multifaceted challenges facing women and girls worldwide, including systemic violence, educational barriers, economic marginalization, and health disparities. It specifically highlights the deteriorating situation for women and girls in Afghanistan under Taliban rule and recognizes the critical role women play in peace negotiations, conflict prevention, and sustainable development. The resolution reaffirms the United States' commitment to ending discrimination and violence against women while promoting their meaningful participation in all aspects of society, particularly in peace and security matters.

This bill seeks to establish congressional oversight and accountability mechanisms in response to a specific incident in Gaza City on January 29, 2024, in which Israel Defense Forces allegedly killed innocent civilians, including a five-year-old child named Hind Rajab and two paramedics. The legislation represents a congressional effort to exercise its foreign policy oversight role by demanding transparency and information regarding the circumstances of this attack. The bill's primary objective is to compel the executive branch to investigate and report on the incident, thereby creating a formal record that Congress can use to inform future policy decisions regarding U.S.-Israel relations and the application of U.S. laws governing military assistance to foreign nations. The legislation reflects congressional concern about civilian casualties in the ongoing Gaza conflict and seeks to ensure that incidents involving potential violations of international humanitarian law receive appropriate scrutiny and response from the U.S. government.

Amor, Sergeant Declan J. Coady, and Sergeant Benjamin N. Pennington.

The resolution directs congressional leadership and the Architect of the Capitol to make all necessary arrangements for this ceremonial tribute.
