This bill would stop federal money from going to states that let unauthorized people collect and turn in absentee ballots for others. This could affect how states run their elections and change how some voters return their ballots. However, family members, household members, and caregivers would still be allowed to help.

This bill would create a new, secure online system run by the Department of Veterans Affairs. It would let veterans find and connect with others they served alongside, while keeping their personal information private. Right now, no official system exists for veterans to reconnect this way.

This bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to send annual reports to Congress. These reports would include detailed information on why veterans die, specifically noting if suicide was linked to a service-connected disability. This aims to provide lawmakers with better data to understand and address veteran mortality.

This bill would let a memorial honoring nine Air Force crew members move from private land to a public rest area in the Nantahala National Forest in North Carolina. The Secretary of Agriculture would get the power to approve this move. No federal money would pay for the relocation or upkeep.

This bill would make it easier for people and businesses hit by major disasters in 2023 or 2024 to get federal aid. It would let the President waive rules that currently stop people from receiving multiple types of assistance. This means disaster victims could get more help, including loans, without income limits.

This bill would let people harmed by certain serious crimes committed by immigrants sue cities and states with 'sanctuary' policies. It would also protect local police who work with federal immigration requests from lawsuits. This changes current law by allowing these lawsuits and making it less risky for cooperating areas.
