The Kayleigh’s Law Act of 2026 mandates that federal courts issue lifetime no-contact orders for defendants convicted of specific violent or sexual offenses.

The new standard applies prospectively to future legal proceedings.

By increasing transparency and accountability, the Act ensures that federal agencies cannot bypass constitutional protections when utilizing local surveillance tools.

This resolution condemns actors defrauding the U.S. Government and emphasizes that robust, government-wide fraud prevention reforms are essential for national financial prosperity.

The House views this shift to proactive verification as the primary solution to the ongoing fiscal emergency caused by fraud.

This bill, the "Stop Subsidizing Political Lawfare by Charities Act of 2026," revokes the tax-exempt status of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).
