This bill would change how people can sue businesses over inaccessible websites and mobile apps. Instead of going straight to court, individuals would first have to tell the business about the problem and then file a complaint with the Department of Justice. This new process would add several steps and waiting periods before a lawsuit could be filed, and could prevent a lawsuit if the government finds the business compliant or doesn't act.

This bill would let the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) keep running and pay its essential workers during government shutdowns, using money from its own insurance fund. It would also make sure airlines can always get special war risk insurance. This means fewer travel disruptions and more stability for the aviation industry.

This bill would set aside more money for pipeline safety programs and create new grants for towns to fix their natural gas pipes.

This bill would make the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) an independent agency, reporting directly to the President. It aims to make disaster assistance faster and easier for states, local governments, non-profits, and individuals by streamlining applications, cutting red tape, and clearing backlogs. This means people and communities hit by disasters would get help more quickly and with less hassle.

This bill would authorize billions of dollars for the Coast Guard and increase its military strength over the next five years.
