To amend title 28, United States Code, to establish an Office of Ethics Counsel and an Office of Investigative Counsel within the Supreme Court of the United States.
# HR 7692 Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would create two new offices within the Supreme Court: an Office of Ethics Counsel and an Office of Investigative Counsel.

Currently, the Supreme Court has no formal ethics office or internal investigation mechanism—justices follow a voluntary ethics code but enforcement is limited. **Who It Affects** The bill directly affects the nine Supreme Court justices and their staff. More broadly, it impacts the public, as the Supreme Court's decisions affect all Americans. The bill reflects ongoing public concerns about judicial ethics and accountability, particularly following recent controversies involving justices and undisclosed financial relationships or gifts. **Current Status** HR 7692 is currently in committee and has not been voted on by the full House. Sponsored by Representative Daniel Goldman (D-NY), the bill has not advanced further in the legislative process as of the latest update.

The specific details of storage requirements, penalties for non-compliance, and any exceptions (such as for active self-defense situations) would be determined by the bill's full text. Similar legislation in other states has included provisions allowing for civil liability if a stored firearm is accessed by an unauthorized person, particularly minors. **Current Status** As of now, HR 7591 remains in committee and has not advanced to a full House vote.

# Summary of HR 4058: Enhancing Stakeholder Support and Outreach for Preparedness Grants Act **What the Bill Does:** This bill requires the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to improve how it communicates with and supports communities applying for federal grants designed to protect against terrorist attacks. Specifically, FEMA would need to provide better guidance and technical assistance to states, cities, and other organizations before, during, and after they receive these grants. The agency would also conduct annual surveys asking communities about their experiences with the grant process and report back to Congress on how it's using that feedback to improve the programs. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily impacts state and local governments, public agencies, and community organizations that apply for FEMA's homeland security grants. These entities would receive more hands-on support navigating the application process. Indirectly, it affects communities nationwide, as stronger outreach could help more localities access federal funds to improve their emergency preparedness and security infrastructure. **Current Status:** The bill passed the House of Representatives and is the work of Representative Daniel Goldman (D-NY).

This legislation would close that gap by extending the firearm ban to the pretrial period. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** The bill would primarily affect individuals facing felony charges who are in the pretrial phase of the criminal justice system.
