The Earmark Elimination Act of 2026 would stop the House from voting on bills with targeted spending, tax breaks, or import tax benefits. This means individual projects or special tax rules for a few groups would no longer be allowed in House laws. It aims to change how federal money and benefits are decided.

A new bill would task federal banking agencies with studying how to improve the health and growth of banks in rural areas. The study would also look for rules that might be holding these banks back. This could lead to future changes that help rural communities get better banking services.

If this bill becomes law, the public would gain access to many government documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell investigations. The Attorney General would need to release these records within 30 days, but would protect personal information of victims. Government officials and public figures would not have information withheld to prevent embarrassment.

This bill removes a federal rule about who can join the Catawba Indian Tribe of South Carolina. This means the Tribe can now set its own membership rules, instead of following old government rules from 1993.
