More Homes on the Market Act
You bought your house decades ago. The kids are grown, the place is bigger than you need, and on paper you've made a fortune as the neighborhood's value climbed. But when you run the numbers on selling, there's a catch: profit above $250,000 — or $500,000 if you're married — gets taxed. For longtime owners in pricey markets, that can mean a tax bill big enough to make staying put the cheaper option. H.R. 1340 is built to change that calculation.

Protecting Privacy in Purchases Act
Every time you swipe your credit card, the transaction carries a merchant category code that tells your bank what kind of store you were in. Grocery store, gas station, pet shop — each gets a code. In 2022, gun stores got their own code for the first time, separate from general sporting goods. This bill says that singles out lawful gun buyers and would force firearms retailers back into broader categories where their customers blend in.
Mikaela Naylon Give Kids a Chance Act
Your child is diagnosed with cancer. A drug already exists that targets the exact molecular mutation driving the tumor — but it's only approved for adults. The company that makes it may not study whether it works in kids for years. This bill changes that: if your drug targets a pathway that matters in childhood cancer, you test it in children.
SAVE Act
Right now, you register to vote by checking a box and signing your name under penalty of perjury. Under H.R. 22, that would no longer be enough. You would need to physically present a passport, a REAL ID that flags your citizenship, a military ID with service records, or a birth certificate that meets seven specific requirements — down to the seal and the signatures. If you registered by mail, you would still have to show up in person before your registration counted.
Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act of 2025
Rent keeps climbing, and the waitlist for affordable housing in your city probably has more names on it than available units. The tax credit that funds most affordable apartment construction in the country hasn't been meaningfully expanded in years. H.R. 2725 would change that with the largest proposed increase to the program since its creation — and 82 Republicans and 82 Democrats have signed on, making it one of the most evenly bipartisan bills in the 119th Congress.
Combating Organized Retail Crime Act of 2025
A man walks into a Target in Miami, scans a 99-cent taco seasoning packet at self-checkout instead of the trading cards in his basket, and walks out. He does it again in Fort Lauderdale. Then Orlando. Seventy-five times across Florida before anyone connects the thefts — [because no single store saw enough to trigger a major investigation](https://www.newsweek.com/florida-man-accused-taco-seasoning-steal-40k-target-cards-11610354). He resold over $40,000 worth of cards on eBay. Meanwhile, in Southern California, [thieves posing as a legitimate motor carrier stole 378,000 tins of nicotine pouches](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tucker-carlsons-alp-starts-national-173600262.html) worth millions from a logistics facility — spoofing GPS tracking and using fake carrier credentials to vanish with the shipment. These aren't petty crimes. They're professionally organized operations that exploit a gap: there is no federal crime called "organized retail theft." This bill creates one.
Carried Interest Fairness Act of 2025
Every few years, Congress rediscovers that private equity and hedge fund managers pay capital gains rates on income that looks, walks, and functions like a paycheck. Every few years, the loophole survives. H.R. 1091 is the latest attempt to end it — and it arrives weeks after the carried interest break sailed untouched through the largest tax bill in a generation.
Made in America Manufacturing Finance Act
You run a small factory, and you want to add a line — a bigger press, more floor space, the working capital to fill an order you couldn't take before. The federal loan guarantee that small businesses lean on caps out at $3.75 million, which doesn't stretch far when a single piece of heavy equipment can eat most of it. H.R. 3174 would lift that ceiling — but only if every one of your plants is on American soil.
Improving Mental Health Access for Students Act
When you're in crisis, you don't remember phone numbers. You probably do remember where your wallet is. H.R. 3624 — the Improving Mental Health Access for Students Act — would put the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, the Crisis Text Line, and your campus mental health number on every college student ID, so the help is already in your pocket.
Digital Asset Market Clarity Act
Right now, if you buy or build anything in crypto, nobody can tell you which federal agency is in charge. H.R. 3633 ends that. It splits the job between two regulators, writes the first federal rules for token sales and exchanges, and draws a hard line: your personal wallet is yours, and the Fed will never issue a digital dollar.
Hospital Inpatient Services Modernization Act
You're admitted for pneumonia or a heart-failure flare, the kind of stay that normally means days in a hospital bed. Under Medicare's hospital-at-home program, your care team can set you up at your own kitchen table instead: a nurse at the door, monitors on your arm, a doctor on video around the clock. That option started as a COVID emergency measure and still runs on a temporary waiver. H.R. 4313 would lock it in through 2030.
GENIUS Act
You hold a stablecoin — say USDC or Tether — to move money fast or park cash between crypto trades, trusting that one token equals one dollar. Until now, no federal law guaranteed a real dollar actually sat behind it. The GENIUS Act changes that. It's the first national rulebook for payment stablecoins, and it became law in July 2025.

In the 119th Congress, bipartisan momentum is consolidating around H.R. 1262 and H.R. 1422, each with more than 290 cosponsors, putting both health and foreign policy squarely in the top tier of must-watch legislation. The Senate is meanwhile using Unanimous Consent to move noncontroversial measures such as STEM and Digital Coast bills, even as Crime and Law Enforcement leads the field in overall bill volume and lobbying activity across the 250 bills tracked. Outside groups are making their biggest bet on H.R. 3633, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, which has drawn 105 organizations and $4.6 million in lobbying spend, underscoring how urgently industry wants crypto rules settled.
