This bill would create a new grant program to help people seeking extreme risk protection orders. States, local, and Tribal governments could get money to provide legal representation and information to these individuals. It would also limit federal courts from hearing lawsuits against people who file these petitions, unless the petition was false or harassing.

This bill would make sure federal agencies translate important information about gun violence prevention and firearm safety into many languages. It would help people who don't speak English well get vital safety information. Agencies would also prioritize grants for programs that reach out to these communities.

This bill would require new large trucks to install side underride guards, making roads safer for drivers and vulnerable road users like motorcyclists and pedestrians. It also improves how these crashes are reported and studied, aiming to prevent thousands of deaths and injuries by enhancing safety standards.

The West Valley demonstration project would get more money each year and for a longer time. This bill would double the project's annual funding authorization from $75 million to $150 million. This increased funding would last for 11 years, from the government's budget year 2027 through 2037.

Congress would formally honor the six people who died in the 2011 Tucson, Arizona, shooting and express support for all survivors and their families. It would also recognize former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords for her leadership and ongoing work against gun violence. This resolution would reaffirm Congress's commitment to respectful dialogue and condemning political violence.

This bill would officially approve a settlement agreement for the Akwesasne Mohawk Land Claim in New York. It would also recognize lands owned by the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe within specific areas as "Indian Country." This aims to resolve long-standing legal disputes over these lands.

This bill would make the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) set new limits on how much PFAS, or "forever chemicals," industries can release into water. It would also require many businesses to monitor their PFAS discharges. Local water treatment plants would get money to help find and manage PFAS coming into their systems.

This bill would create a new federal way for people significantly exposed to PFAS chemicals to sue the manufacturers responsible. Currently, there is no federal law allowing individuals to sue for long-term PFAS exposure. If passed, this bill would let courts order manufacturers to pay for medical check-ups to detect diseases linked to PFAS, shifting these costs from individuals.

This bill would give domestic employees, like nannies, caregivers, and house cleaners, new workplace rights and protections. It would ensure they receive overtime pay, earn paid sick days, and are protected from discrimination and unfair scheduling practices. This changes current laws that often exclude these workers from basic labor protections.

This bill would create a national plan to fight scams, which cost Americans over $12 billion last year. It would require the FBI to lead a group of federal agencies to develop this plan, making them work together to better prevent scams and help victims. The plan would also set a common definition for 'scam' across key agencies, aiming to protect people from fraud.

This bill would set aside money for states, Indian tribes, and tribal organizations. They would use these funds to create or carry out "Master Plans for Aging." These plans aim to improve the health and quality of life for older individuals and people with disabilities.

This bill would stop child welfare programs that get federal money from discriminating against people based on their religion, sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity), or marital status. It aims to create more welcoming homes for children in foster care and improve support for LGBTQ youth. Individuals who face discrimination could also take legal action.
