The Kids Need Lunch Act would make school lunches free for all children in schools that participate in the program, ending income-based eligibility. It would also pay off existing school meal debt owed by families to schools and stop schools from collecting any future lunch debt. This means parents would no longer have to pay for school lunches, and schools would get reimbursed for past unpaid meals.

This bill would create a new refundable tax credit for first-time homebuyers, offering up to $25,000 over five years. It aims to make homeownership more affordable by letting eligible individuals get 10% of their home's purchase price back. Teachers, childcare workers, and first responders could get the full credit upfront.

This bill would stop the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from hiring private companies to track people for civil immigration cases. It would also end current contracts and stop extra payments to private groups for finding people subject to immigration detainers. This aims to reduce the role of private contractors in locating individuals for civil immigration enforcement.

This bill would stop the U.S. government from using federal money to take control of Venezuela's land or resources, including sending troops there for such purposes. It would ensure that funds for emergency humanitarian aid are not affected, and it would still allow the President to acquire or designate property for U.S. diplomatic offices. This means U.S. agencies would not be able to fund actions asserting control, but diplomatic efforts and humanitarian aid would continue.

This bill would create a new tax credit to help businesses pay for training their non-highly compensated employees. The credit would generally cover 20% of new training costs for programs that lead to recognized credentials. Small businesses and non-profits could choose to apply up to $250,000 of this credit against their payroll taxes.

This bill would make U.S. intelligence agencies report on how much oil China buys from Iran and if China helps Iran's missile program.
