House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform

To name the District of Columbia tuition assistance grant program the "Eleanor Holmes Norton District of Columbia Tuition Assistance Grant Program".

The District of Columbia offers tuition assistance grants to help local students pay for college, and this bill would rename that program after Eleanor Holmes Norton, the longtime congressional representative from Washington, D.C. The change honors Norton's decades of service advocating for D.C. residents and education. Students receiving these grants would see the program's name reflect this tribute to her legacy.

To amend title II of the Social Security Act to increase survivors benefits for disabled widows, widowers, and surviving divorced spouses, and for other purposes.

The proposal would increase the monthly payments that disabled widows, widowers, and surviving divorced spouses receive from Social Security, providing them with more financial support after losing a spouse. These benefits would apply to people who became disabled before or around the time their spouse died and have been receiving reduced payments under current rules. The change would help vulnerable survivors who depend on Social Security as a major source of income.

To amend title 5, United States Code, to abolish the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency, and for other purposes.

The proposal would eliminate the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency, a government watchdog organization that coordinates oversight activities across federal agencies to detect fraud, waste, and misconduct. This would affect federal employees and the public by potentially reducing coordination between the various inspectors general who investigate wrongdoing in different government departments. The bill is currently under review by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

D.C. Taxing Authority Review Act

This bill would give Congress the power to review and potentially block tax increases that Washington D.C.'s local government tries to impose on residents and businesses. The measure affects D.C. residents and companies operating in the nation's capital by requiring federal approval before local tax changes can take effect. It essentially limits the District's ability to raise taxes without congressional oversight.

To provide funding for programs and activities under the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act.

This bill would allocate federal funding to support various programs created under the SUPPORT Act, which focuses on addressing the opioid crisis and substance abuse issues. The money would go toward treatment services, prevention efforts, and recovery support for individuals struggling with addiction, as well as programs helping communities affected by the opioid epidemic. The funding would impact patients seeking addiction treatment, healthcare providers, community organizations, and state and local governments working to combat drug abuse.

To protect the national security of the United States by strengthening review of foreign adversary investments in the general aviation sector, and for other purposes.

The proposal would give the government stronger authority to review and block investments in small aircraft companies and general aviation businesses if those investments come from foreign countries considered adversaries to the United States. This would help prevent potentially hostile nations from gaining access to aviation technology or infrastructure that could pose security risks. The measure affects aircraft manufacturers, aviation companies, and foreign investors interested in the U.S. aviation sector.

Recognizing the need to improve physical access to many federally funded facilities for all persons of the United States, particularly persons with disabilities.

The federal government would be required to improve physical access at buildings and facilities it funds or operates so that people with disabilities can enter and move around more easily. This would affect federal buildings, hospitals, schools, transportation hubs, and other public facilities across the country, making them more accessible through changes like ramps, elevators, accessible bathrooms, and parking spaces. The goal is to ensure that all Americans, especially those with disabilities, can use these federally-funded spaces without barriers.

To prohibit Federal law enforcement agencies from using or accessing State or local surveillance equipment or data to circumvent warrant requirements, to establish a Jurisdictional Wall List of covered technologies, and for other purposes.

Federal law enforcement agencies would be prohibited from using surveillance equipment or data collected by state and local police—such as cameras, license plate readers, or facial recognition systems—without getting a warrant first. The bill would create a list of covered surveillance technologies to clarify which tools fall under this restriction, preventing federal agencies from bypassing warrant requirements by accessing information that local authorities have already gathered. This would limit how federal agencies like the FBI can access surveillance data without judicial approval.

Less Bureaucracy, Better K–12 Education Act

This bill would transfer responsibility for managing elementary and secondary education programs from the Department of Education to the Department of Labor, fundamentally changing which federal agency oversees K-12 schools. The change would affect students, teachers, school administrators, and parents across the country by shifting how federal education policies and funding are managed. The bill has been referred to multiple committees for review, including those handling education, financial services, and government operations.

To limit the total number of schedule C and schedule G positions in the Federal Government, and for other purposes.

The proposal would cap the total number of high-level federal positions (Schedule C and Schedule G roles) that can exist across all government agencies, potentially reducing the size of the executive branch workforce. These positions are typically filled by presidential appointees and senior staff rather than career civil servants, so the bill would limit how many political appointees agencies can hire. The change would affect federal agencies and their operations, though the specific impact would depend on what the cap is set at.

To expand access for workers experiencing symptoms related to menopause and the menopause transition to reasonable accommodations that enable them to perform the essential functions of their job without risking their health or economic security.

Workers experiencing menopause symptoms would have the right to request reasonable workplace accommodations—such as flexible schedules, temperature control adjustments, or modified duties—to help them stay healthy and keep working without losing income or their job. The bill would apply to employers across different industries and would require companies to work with employees to find practical solutions that allow them to continue performing their essential job duties. This protection would help millions of workers, particularly women in their 40s and 50s, manage menopause-related challenges like hot flashes and fatigue while maintaining their employment and financial stability.

PRESERVE Act

This bill would establish protections for artwork that the government commissions or owns, likely setting rules about how such art can be displayed, maintained, or removed from public spaces. The legislation affects government agencies, artists, and the public by potentially requiring approval processes before changes are made to publicly funded or displayed art. The bill has been sent to committees that handle transportation, infrastructure, and government operations to review the specific details.

This bill designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 10660 Page Avenue in Fairfax, Virginia, as the "Congressman Gerald E. Connolly Post Office Building".

K–9 Hero Act of 2026

The federal government would create a grant program to help pay for veterinary care costs for retired dogs that previously worked for federal agencies, such as military or law enforcement dogs. This would assist the owners or caretakers of these animals in covering medical expenses as the dogs age after their service ends. The program aims to support people caring for these working dogs during their retirement years.

National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement Act of 1997 Technical Corrections Act of 2026

This bill would expand survivor benefits for families of DC police officers, firefighters, and teachers by treating domestic partners the same as married spouses when determining who receives death benefits. It would also allow surviving spouses to remarry at a younger age without losing their benefits, matching the rules that apply to families of federal employees. The changes would apply to both federal and DC government-paid survivor benefit programs.

To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 6444 San Fernando Road in Glendale, California, as the "Paul Ignatius Post Office".

This bill designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 6444 San Fernando Road in Glendale, California, as the "Paul Ignatius Post Office".

To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 340 East 1st Street in Tustin, California, as the "Ursula Ellen Kennedy Post Office Building".

This bill designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 340 East 1st Street in Tustin, California, as the "Ursula Ellen Kennedy Post Office Building".

Remembering the life of Corey Comperatore who passed away on Saturday, July 13, 2024.

This resolution honors Corey Comperatore, a firefighter and volunteer who was killed during an assassination attempt at a political rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024. The measure recognizes his service to his community and his sacrifice, paying tribute to his memory and the impact he had on those around him.

Comment Integrity and Management Act

The proposal would change how federal agencies handle large numbers of comments submitted during the public comment period for new regulations, particularly those that are computer-generated or submitted in bulk. It aims to help agencies better identify and manage fake or automated comments so that genuine public input from real people gets proper attention in the rule-making process. This would affect anyone who submits comments on federal regulations, as well as the agencies that review them.
