This bill would make the Bureau of Prisons submit annual reports about how disasters affect federal and contract prisons, including inmates and staff.

This aims to improve how prisons handle emergencies and protect those inside.

This bill, called the "Arms Sale Oversight Act," would change how the House of Representatives considers resolutions to stop proposed arms sales and export licenses. It would make it easier for members of Congress to force a vote on these resolutions, but would also limit debate time and amendment options.

This bill would help people in immigration detention centers get support from their Members of Congress. It would make centers give out forms, handbooks, and ways to talk with Congress. It also sets up a way to complain if these services are not provided.
