During the week of June 1–7, 2026, the House advanced 16 measures at various stages of the legislative process. A crypto-regulation bill cleared the House and now awaits Senate action, committee votes moved two more bills forward, and hearings were held on offshore energy rules and NOAA workplace conduct. New proposals were also introduced covering veterans benefits, menopause research, school accessibility, and disaster loans for homeowner associations.

Veterans affairs

  • The Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act, which changes how veteran status interacts with federal firearm regulations, cleared the House and was sent to the Senate, where it was read twice and referred to the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs.
  • The Sharri Briley and Eric Edmundson Veterans Benefits Expansion Act of 2026 was introduced in the House; it proposes expanding eligibility or increasing payments for certain veteran services, but its effect depends on passage in both chambers and the President’s signature.

Health, families, and communities

  • Representative Maria Elvira Salalem introduced the Advancing Menopause Care and Mid-Life Women’s Health Act, which would increase federal research and clinical data collection on menopause and related mid-life health issues. It is a proposal only and does not by itself change insurance coverage or create medical mandates.
  • Representative Marcy Kaptur introduced the Equitable Access to School Facilities Act, which would provide federal funds to help schools pay for physical renovations that improve accessibility for people with disabilities.
  • A House bill would change the Small Business Act to allow the Small Business Administration to provide supplemental disaster loans to homeowner associations for repairs and preventive work in shared spaces.

Financial regulation and business liability

  • The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act passed the House and was placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar, meaning it is now waiting for action in the Senate — a procedural step in the path toward crypto regulation.
  • The House Judiciary Committee approved an amended version of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Stone Slab Products Act, ordering it to be reported. The bill changes how businesses in the stone industry might face litigation, but it does not become law until both chambers pass it and the President signs it.
  • A House member introduced a bill that puts on record the House’s opposition to digital services
