This bill would make for-profit companies that own hospitals and other healthcare facilities share financial and operational details with the government. It also aims to stop these companies from harming healthcare services or closing facilities without a plan. This would give patients and communities more transparency and protection for their local healthcare providers.

This bill would make sure the special Alzheimer's stamp keeps being sold for six more years. This means people could continue buying the stamp to help fund medical research for Alzheimer's disease. The money raised would go directly to the National Institutes of Health.

This bill would stop new rules from the Small Business Administration (SBA) that change who can get 7(a) and 504 business loans. If passed, the rules about citizenship and residency requirements for these loans would not take effect. This means people applying for these loans would not face the new conditions proposed by the SBA.

This bill would make sure airport service workers at small, medium, and large hub airports get paid prevailing wages and receive benefits. It would require employers to meet federal or local wage standards, whichever is higher. This means many airport workers could see their pay and benefits improve.

This bill would provide more money to help communities fix emergency problems with their drinking water and wastewater systems. It would increase funding for existing drinking water aid and create a new program to help wastewater plants, especially with cyberattacks. This means safer water and potentially lower costs for local residents when emergencies happen.

This bill would require the government to give temporary protected status to Haitian nationals living in the United States. This status would let them live and work legally in the U.S. until April 2029. It would remove the government's choice in making this decision for Haiti.
