Diversity Jurisdiction Inflation Adjustment Act

The federal court system uses dollar amounts to decide which cases they can hear, and these thresholds haven't been updated in decades despite inflation making money worth less over time. This bill would increase those dollar thresholds to reflect current economic conditions, meaning more cases would qualify for federal court jurisdiction. The change would affect businesses, individuals, and the courts by adjusting which disputes can be heard in federal versus state courts based on the amount of money involved.

S3897passed senate2026-08-10

Officer John Barnes and Chief Michael Ansbro Public Safety Officers' Benefit Program Expansion Act of 2026

This bill would expand federal benefits available to public safety officers, likely increasing death benefits, disability payments, or other support for police officers, firefighters, and similar workers who are injured or killed in the line of duty. The expansion would provide more financial protection to these workers and their families when they suffer serious harm while performing their jobs. The bill is named after two public safety officers, suggesting it may address specific gaps in current benefit programs.
