This bill would require the government to study how artificial intelligence (AI) impacts the security of our phone and internet networks.

This bill would make new large passenger buses safer by requiring them to have a clearer view from the driver's seat. It would mean fewer blind spots for bus drivers, which could help protect pedestrians and other people on the road. The government would create new rules for bus manufacturers within one year.

This bill would make federal agencies regularly share information about how big data centers use water and electricity. It would show how these centers impact local water supplies, air quality, and even your household energy costs, making this information public. This means everyday Americans would get clearer facts about these large facilities.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) would regularly check and update its rules on noise pollution. The EPA would need to review these rules every 10 years, with the first check happening within two years. This aims to keep noise rules current, which could mean quieter communities for people.

This bill would create a new federal grant program to help parents in job training pay for childcare.

This bill would change how voluntary agreements are made for commercial air tours flying over national parks. Currently, these agreements focus on safety and air traffic, and include Indian tribes.

This bill would create a new federal task force led by the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice. Its goal is to develop a national plan to stop scams, educate the public, and help people who lose money to these crimes. Right now, no single group is specifically tasked with this national effort.
