This bill would require the Attorney General to create a new system within two years to stop the monitoring of private electronic communications between incarcerated people and their legal teams. It would set strict rules, including needing a court warrant, for law enforcement to access these privileged messages. Until the new system is ready, incarcerated people would receive notice if their communications are being monitored.

This bill would make certain high-level federal officials pay a 100% tax on money they get from lawsuits against the U.S. government. This new tax would apply to former Presidents, Vice Presidents, top executive officials, and Members of Congress, as well as their close relatives, for damages received after the bill becomes law. However, a specific part of the bill makes it unclear if this tax would apply to anyone who hasn't also served as President.

This bill would block foreign officials and groups from entering the U.S. or using their money here if they are found to be stopping humanitarian aid to Gaza. Currently, aid to Gaza is heavily restricted by the Netanyahu administration, leading to widespread hunger for an estimated 2.2 million people. The bill aims to encourage governments to allow more aid to reach those in need.

This bill would create federal rules for how cannabis products are made, labeled, and sold, overseen by the FDA. It also sets aside money for programs to stop kids from using cannabis and to prevent people from driving while impaired by cannabis.

This bill would create a new Agritourism Advisor within the Department of Agriculture. This advisor would work to promote farm-based tourism activities and businesses across all states and tribal lands. The goal is to help farmers earn more money and boost local economies.

This bill would make it quicker for new healthcare apprenticeship programs to get approved by the government. It would require the Department of Labor to make a decision within 45 days, or explain any delays. Plus, all forms for any apprenticeship program across the country would become digital, making paperwork easier for everyone involved.

This resolution would condemn Iran's persecution of the Baha'i religious minority and its human rights violations. It would also call on Iran to release religious prisoners and end unfair policies. The resolution urges the U.S. President and Secretary of State to use existing laws to place financial penalties (sanctions) on Iranian officials responsible for these abuses.

This resolution would stop an IRS rule that aimed to make it simpler for certain large businesses, specifically partnerships, to calculate their Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax. If passed, the IRS's "simplifying" guidance would not take effect. This means the existing, potentially more complex, way of applying this tax to partnerships would continue.

This bill would end a national emergency declared on April 2, 2025, which currently imposes global tariffs. If passed, businesses and consumers would no longer pay these tariffs, and the President's authority to impose them under that specific order would be revoked immediately.
