House Committee on Homeland Security

Oversight Access Act

Stop ICE Price Gouging Act

No TSA Data for ICE Act

The proposal would restrict the Department of Homeland Security from using certain types of information when enforcing immigration and border security laws, and would limit changes the department can make to programs that allow frequent travelers to move through borders more quickly. This affects border agents, immigration enforcement officers, and people who participate in trusted traveler programs like Global Entry. The bill has been sent to multiple congressional committees for review.

Stop ICE’s Medical Neglect Act of 2026

The proposal would require the Department of Homeland Security to create a formal system allowing people held in immigration detention facilities to file complaints about inadequate medical care. This would give detainees an official way to report health problems that aren't being properly treated and could help identify patterns of medical neglect across detention centers. The measure affects immigrants and asylum seekers in government custody who may not currently have a clear process to address medical concerns.

No PREJUDICE Act

The proposal would ban the Department of Homeland Security from using federal money to conduct profiling based on characteristics like race, religion, ethnicity, or national origin when enforcing immigration and security laws. This would affect how DHS agents conduct investigations, searches, and enforcement actions, requiring them to base decisions on individual behavior and evidence rather than demographic characteristics. The measure is currently under review by congressional committees to determine its final form.

Safe Spaces for All Act

The proposal would clarify how the Department of Homeland Security runs its Nonprofit Security Grant Program, which provides funding to help nonprofits like religious organizations, community centers, and schools improve their physical security and protect against potential threats. The changes would make the program's rules and requirements clearer for the nonprofits that apply for these grants and for the government agencies that manage the funding.

AI Kill Switch Act

The proposal would require certain technology companies and organizations to maintain the technical ability to shut down or disable their systems if ordered to do so by the Department of Homeland Security, potentially in response to security threats or emergencies. This would affect technology providers, telecommunications companies, and other entities that operate critical infrastructure or widely-used platforms. The measure is currently under review by the House Committee on Homeland Security.

Enhancing K–12 Cybersecurity Act

The federal government would create a new program to help schools protect themselves from cyberattacks and improve their computer security systems. Schools would receive guidance, training, and resources from cybersecurity experts to defend student data and keep their networks safe from hackers. This affects school administrators, IT staff, and students whose personal information is stored in school computer systems.

DHS Acquisition Documentation Integrity Act

The Department of Homeland Security would be required to maintain detailed documentation and follow specific procedures when purchasing or developing major equipment and technology systems. This would help ensure that large spending projects are properly tracked, justified, and managed effectively, protecting taxpayer money and improving oversight of how the agency spends billions on things like border security equipment, surveillance systems, and other critical infrastructure.

Daycare Not Detentions Act of 2026

Daycare Not Detentions Act of 2026 This bill rescinds funding that was provided to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and reallocates the funding to the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) for federal child care programs. Specifically, the bill rescinds $70 billion in funding that was provided to ICE and CBP by the Secure America Act. The bill also provides a total of $70 billion to ACF for federal child care programs, including $25.5 billion for the Child Care and Development Block Grant, $20 billion for the Child Care Entitlement to States, $24 billion for Head Start, and $500 million for Preschool Development Grants. The funds provided to ACF are available through FY2029.

To improve the health of minority individuals, and for other purposes.

This bill aims to address health disparities affecting minority communities through various policy changes across multiple areas including healthcare access, nutrition programs, education, and veterans' services. The broad referral to numerous committees suggests the legislation would coordinate efforts across government agencies to improve health outcomes for minority populations through reforms in insurance coverage, food assistance, workplace safety, and other related programs. The bill is currently under review to determine which specific provisions fall under each committee's authority.

Children’s Safe Welcome Act of 2026

The legislation would establish new safeguards for children who are detained by immigration authorities, likely including requirements for proper care, medical attention, and legal representation during their time in custody. The bill aims to ensure that minors in immigration detention facilities receive appropriate protections and are treated humanely while their immigration cases are processed. It currently awaits review by congressional committees that handle judiciary and homeland security matters.

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027 This bill sets forth policies and authorities for FY2027 for Department of Defense (DOD) programs, activities, and military construction as well as the national security programs of the Department of Energy (DOE). Among other elements, the bill authorizes the procurement of various items, including aircraft and ships; sets active duty and reserve component personnel strength levels; sets policy regarding various aspects of military health care and military compensation; sets policy regarding DOD acquisitions and acquisition management, including contracting authorities and the acquisition workforce; sets policy for various matters related to DOD interactions with foreign nations, including matters concerning Israel, Europe, and the Indo-Pacific; sets policy for various matters related to DOD cybersecurity and artificial intelligence; requires DOD to include projected demand for foreign military sales in certain contexts, including munitions production planning, sustainment planning for major defense acquisition programs, and decisions regarding production rate increases of defense articles; requires DOD to establish an expedited qualification process for new domestic and allied sources of certain strategic materials, including specified metals, alloys, oxides, and magnets; authorizes specified military construction projects and extends the authorization of certain projects from previous fiscal years; and authorizes the National Nuclear Security Administration, Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, Naval Petroleum Reserves, and Maritime Administration.

RESILIENCE Act of 2026

The federal government would create a training program through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to teach state, local, tribal, and territorial officials how to identify security weaknesses and terrorism risks at important infrastructure sites like power plants, water systems, and transportation hubs. This pilot program would help local leaders better protect critical facilities in their communities by giving them the same security assessment skills that federal experts use. The training would apply to government officials responsible for overseeing infrastructure in their regions.

Shared Values Act

I cannot provide an accurate summary because the bill's title and subjects provided do not contain sufficient information about what the legislation actually proposes to do. The referral to nearly every major congressional committee suggests this is a broad bill, but without access to the bill's text or specific policy proposals, I cannot explain its concrete effects or who it would affect.

Delivering Priority Legislation Act

This bill has been introduced but lacks specific details about what legislation it would actually address, making it impossible to summarize its concrete effects. The bill has been referred to nearly every major House committee, suggesting it may eventually contain provisions affecting workers, businesses, veterans, agriculture, infrastructure, energy, national security, and government operations. Without knowing what specific policies the bill will contain, it's unclear who would be helped or harmed by its passage.

Homeland Security Capabilities Preservation Reporting Act of 2026

Homeland Security Capabilities Preservation Reporting Act of 2026 This bill requires the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to submit a report to Congress every three years (current law requires only one report) regarding urban areas’ security capabilities previously supported with funding from the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) and at risk of being reduced or eliminated without additional federal assistance. FEMA’s UASI grants assist designated high-risk urban areas with developing and sustaining capabilities to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism. Each report must contain a proposal for FEMA to provide financial assistance for at least three consecutive years to urban areas previously receiving UASI funds to allow them to transition to other funding sources to preserve their security capabilities.

Improving Travel for American Families Act

Improving Travel for American Families Act This bill directs the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to establish a pilot program to implement alternative security screenings for passengers traveling with children who are 12 years old and younger. Specifically, TSA must implement alternative security screening lanes and security screening approaches for passengers traveling with children in order to support and facilitate the ease of travel for these passengers. TSA must implement the pilot program at a minimum of five airports, with priority given to airports that have a high volume of passengers traveling with children.

Reimbursable Screening Services Program Extension Act of 2026

Reimbursable Screening Services Program Extension Act of 2026 This bill extends the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Reimbursable Screening Services Program through FY2031. The bill also allows TSA to expand the pilot program to up to 14 locations, from the current limit of not more than 8 locations. The Reimbursable Screening Services Program is a pilot program that allows TSA to be reimbursed for establishing and providing screening services outside an airport terminal’s existing primary screening area for passengers.

SAFEGUARDS Act of 2026

Spending Aviation Fees for Equipment, Guaranteeing Upgraded and Advanced Risk Detection and Safety Act of 2026 or the SAFEGUARDS Act of 2026 This bill allocates additional funding for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for aviation security, including checked baggage explosives detection equipment and security checkpoint technology. As background, TSA collects passenger civil aviation security service fees (often referred to as the 9/11 security fee or passenger security fee) on air carrier passengers originating at airports in the United States. In general, these fees are deposited into the Department of the Treasury general fund and applied towards debt reduction. A portion of these fees are allocated to TSA for aviation security. The bill requires that the first $500 million collected in each fiscal year from passenger security fees be deposited into the Aviation Security Capital Fund. This is an increase from the currently required $250 million. This fund provides for the costs associated with acquiring and installing in-line baggage screening systems (i.e., systems that use a conveyor belt infrastructure to automatically screen, sort, and track baggage) to accommodate checked baggage explosives detection equipment and for certain other airport security improvements. The bill also requires that the next $250 million collected in each fiscal year from passenger security fees be deposited into a new Aviation Security Checkpoint Technology Fund for the costs associated with acquiring, installing, and sustaining aviation security checkpoint technology.
