This bill would create a new program within the Department of Energy to make natural gas and hazardous liquid pipelines, and liquefied natural gas facilities, more secure. It would improve how federal agencies, states, and energy companies work together to protect these vital energy sources from physical and cyber attacks. This aims to make our energy supply safer and more reliable for everyone.

This bill would create new, clear rules for companies labeling product packaging as 'recyclable' or 'compostable.' These claims would need to be accurate, proven, and certified by independent groups. Shoppers would then get more reliable information about how to dispose of packaging.

The Discovery space shuttle would move from its current home near Washington, DC, to NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. This change would allow more people, especially students, to see the shuttle and use it for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) learning in a new location.

This bill would change how pay is calculated for many Bureau of Prisons employees in rural areas. It would let them get higher locality pay based on rates in nearby cities, if a higher-paying area is within 200 miles. This means more money for these employees if the bill becomes law.

This bill would make it clearer for federal agencies to use special insulation to save energy and water in government buildings. It would define "mechanical insulation property" and require agencies to consider it during energy and water checks. This could help make federal buildings more efficient.

This bill would allow trained police and retired officers to carry hidden guns and use them in school areas. This changes a federal rule that usually stops guns in these places, with the goal of keeping kids safe.

This bill would set aside money for federal agencies to research and develop new pipeline technologies. It would create new programs and a center within the Department of Energy to improve pipeline safety, security, and efficiency. This means better pipelines for transporting fuels and other materials, and enhanced training for pipeline safety inspectors.
