The **21st Century ROAD to Housing Act** is a comprehensive bill designed to address the national housing crisis by increasing supply, lowering costs, and improving housing stability. It introduces reforms across federal programs to streamline construction, support low-income homeowners and renters, preserve rural housing, and increase accountability for federal housing agencies. The Act also includes provisions to curb large institutional investors from buying single-family homes and prohibits the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency until 2030.

The Secure America Act allocates substantial funding across two titles to enhance national security operations. Title I focuses on border technology, non-immigration enforcement personnel for Customs and Border Protection, and specialized funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to combat child exploitation. Title II provides massive appropriations specifically directed toward immigration enforcement activities for both CBP and ICE, including funding for removals, facility support, and increased cooperation with state and local law enforcement.

This resolution authorizes the Senate to consider 49 executive nominations as a single group rather than voting on each individually. The nominations include various U.S. Attorneys, U.S. Marshals, Ambassadors, and other senior federal positions. This action streamlines the confirmation process for these appointments.

This concurrent resolution sets the proposed federal budget for fiscal year 2026 and outlines spending targets through 2035, projecting continued annual deficits and growth in the national debt. It directs committees to propose legislation affecting homeland security and the judiciary via a reconciliation process, while establishing flexible, deficit-neutral reserve funds for future policy adjustments. Finally, it solidifies the procedural rules for enforcing these budget allocations across both chambers of Congress.

This bill expresses the disapproval of Congress regarding a Bureau of Land Management rule that withdrew federal lands in specific Minnesota counties under Public Land Order No. 7917. By disapproving the rule, Congress renders it legally void.
