This resolution would have the House of Representatives condemn racism and call for an end to race-based Native logos, mascots, and names. It would ask the Secretary of Education to work with schools to remove these images, and urge schools and national sports teams to stop using them. The goal is to help Native American students feel more respected and improve their self-esteem.

This bill would make it illegal to sell dietary supplements that don't meet legal standards or were made by people previously banned from the industry. It would give the FDA more power to stop these products from being imported or sold. This aims to ensure consumers get safer and more authentic products.

This bill would make sure that car buyers can choose to buy important safety features without also having to pay for unrelated luxury or convenience items. Car manufacturers and dealers would have to offer these safety features on their own or as standard trim equipment, and clearly show their separate cost. This change would take effect 180 days after the bill becomes law.

This bill would stop data brokers from collecting, using, or selling personal information about anyone under 18. It would also require these companies to delete existing data on children and teens if requested by them or their parents. This aims to give young people and their families more control over their online privacy.

This bill would help Americans with private health insurance by setting new limits on how much they pay out-of-pocket for prescription drugs, including a $35 cap on insulin costs. It would also expand the government's ability to negotiate lower prices for more drugs and apply Medicare's drug inflation rebates to the commercial market. These changes aim to make prescription drugs more affordable for many families.

This bill would require most health insurance plans, including private plans, Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP, to cover specific vaccines without extra costs like copays or deductibles. This coverage would apply to vaccines recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) as of October 25, 2024. This remains true even if those recommendations are later changed or removed. These rules would generally be in effect from when the bill becomes law until late 2029 or early 2030.

This bill would require companies to tell the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before using new "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS) food ingredients. It would also make the FDA regularly recheck the safety of many existing food additives and GRAS substances. This aims to make sure the food we eat is safer.

This bill would make sure that official vaccine recommendations and changes to the Vaccine Injury Table are always based on the best scientific evidence. It would formally set up the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) in law, clarifying how it operates and makes decisions. This means more transparency for the public and clearer guidelines for health plans.
