This requirement applies to all COPS grant applications beginning in fiscal year 2027.

The Save Our Sequoias Act establishes a comprehensive, multi-agency framework to protect and restore giant sequoia groves from the escalating threats of wildfire, insects, and drought. The legislation creates a collaborative coalition to assess grove health, streamlines emergency protection projects, and authorizes dedicated funding and strike teams to accelerate reforestation and forest management efforts. By fostering partnerships between federal, state, and Tribal entities, the Act aims to ensure the long-term resilience and survival of these iconic trees.

The Doug LaMalfa Protect Innocent Victims of Taxation After Fire Extension Act excludes wildfire relief payments from federal income tax for victims of federally declared disasters.

The policy applies to qualifying payments received between 2026 and 2032.

The FAIR Act of 2026 significantly reforms federal civil forfeiture laws by strengthening property owner protections, such as raising the government's burden of proof and requiring judicial approval for all forfeitures.

Lopez Post Office Building**. This change ensures all federal records and documents will use the new name for this specific post office.

The Energy Choice Act places federal restrictions on state and local governments, preventing them from enacting regulations that prohibit or limit energy service based on its type or source.

The legislation aims to ensure consistent access to various energy sources across jurisdictions.

The Equal Representation Act of 2025 mandates the inclusion of a citizenship question on the decennial census starting in 2030.
