This bill would make the government's watchdog, the Comptroller General, study how federal job cuts affect state and local budgets. These job cuts are called 'reductions in force' or RIFs. Right now, there isn't a full picture of these impacts. The study would look at things like higher unemployment costs and lost tax money. A report would be sent to Congress and the public within 18 months.

This bill would stop the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from building, running, expanding, or reopening immigration detention centers in Washington County, Maryland. It would also block federal money from being used for such facilities. This means residents of the county would not see new or expanded detention centers there.

This bill would stop federal buildings, land, or other assets from being named after a President while they are still in office. It would also prevent government money from being used for such namings. Any existing federal assets named after the current President would go back to their previous names.

This bill would prevent federal buildings, land, and other assets from being named after a sitting president. This means federal properties would not honor a serving president, and future presidents would not receive this recognition while in office.

This bill would stop the John F. Kennedy Center's Board from renaming the building. It would cancel their recent vote to add "Donald J. Trump" to the name and require all new signs to be taken down. The bill would also prevent the Board from trying to rename the Center again in the future.

This bill would let some charities avoid signing up with the government for certain investment work. Right now, groups that manage investments in things like raw materials usually have to register. This bill would make a special rule for charities. This means charities could manage their own or related investment money without this specific government sign-up.

This bill would create a new program within the Department of Agriculture to offer technical assistance to rural communities after a major disaster. This help would include planning, finding funding, and applying for aid. The bill authorizes $50,000,000 to be appropriated each government's budget year to pay for this program.

This bill would make sure the federal government opens applications for emergency warning system grants each year for at least 30 days. It would also let local public broadcasting stations apply for these grants. This could help more groups get money to improve how emergency alerts reach people.
