To amend the Commodity Exchange Act to prohibit event contracts based on terrorism, assassination, war, gaming, illegal activity, election outcomes, government activities, or other activities determined by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to be contrary to the public interest, and to allow States to exempt themselves from the prohibition on gaming contracts.
# HR 7840 Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would amend federal commodity trading laws to ban contracts that allow people to bet money on certain high-risk events, including terrorism, assassination, wars, illegal activities, and election outcomes. It would also give the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)—the federal agency that regulates futures markets—authority to prohibit other types of event contracts it deems harmful to the public interest. The bill includes an exception allowing individual states to opt out of the ban on gaming-related contracts if they choose. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** The bill primarily affects financial traders and brokers who would be prohibited from offering these types of prediction contracts. It applies to any event contracts traded on U.S. commodity exchanges or markets. By restricting betting on sensitive events like elections and acts of violence, the legislation aims to prevent financial speculation on harmful or destabilizing scenarios. The state exemption for gaming contracts allows states flexibility to permit betting-related contracts within their borders if they decide to do so. **Current Status** HR 7840 is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Republican Representative Blake Moore of Utah.
Fruit Heights Land Conveyance Act of 2025
# Fruit Heights Land Conveyance Act of 2025 Summary **What the Bill Does:** This bill would transfer federal land to the city of Fruit Heights, Utah. The specific details about which parcels of land would be conveyed and the terms of the transfer are not provided in the available summary information, but land conveyance bills typically involve the federal government giving ownership of publicly-held land to local municipalities for community development, public services, or other local purposes. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects residents and local government of Fruit Heights, Utah, as well as federal land management. It could impact how the transferred land is used and managed going forward, shifting control from federal to local authorities. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill (HR 5478) is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was sponsored by Representative Blake Moore (R-UT). The bill would need to pass committee review, receive a House vote, pass the Senate, and be signed by the President to become law. *Note: For complete details about the specific land parcels and transfer conditions, the full bill text would need to be reviewed.*
No Foreign NIL Funds Act
# No Foreign NIL Funds Act (HR 7403) - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would restrict foreign money from being used in Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals—agreements where athletes are paid to use their names, images, or likenesses for endorsements and marketing. If passed, it would prevent foreign individuals, companies, and government entities from funding these payments to U.S. athletes. The bill aims to keep foreign influence out of American college and professional sports. **Who It Affects** The bill would directly impact college and professional athletes who currently receive NIL payments, as well as the companies and organizations that broker these deals. It could also affect foreign investors and businesses that see NIL deals as marketing opportunities. The restrictions would apply broadly to any foreign sources of NIL funding. **Current Status** As of now, HR 7403 remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. This is an early stage in the legislative process, and the bill would need to advance through committee and gain support before becoming law.
Comprehensive Congressional Budget Act of 2026
# Summary of HR 7295: Comprehensive Congressional Budget Act of 2026 **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill aims to reform how Congress handles its annual budget process. While specific details aren't provided in the available information, bills with this title typically address procedures for creating, debating, and passing federal budgets—the plans that determine how the government spends taxpayer money on defense, social programs, infrastructure, and other priorities. **Who It Affects:** The bill would primarily affect Congress itself and how it operates, though changes to the budget process could indirectly impact all Americans by influencing how federal spending decisions are made and whether budgets are completed on time. **Current Status:** HR 7295 is currently in committee, meaning it's in the early stages of the legislative process and hasn't yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was introduced by Representative Blake Moore (R-UT). To provide more detailed information about specific provisions, the full text of the bill would need to be reviewed.
Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to Streamline the Code of Federal Regulations Act of 2026
# Summary of HR 7226 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would require federal agencies to use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to review and simplify the Code of Federal Regulations—the massive collection of rules that govern how federal agencies operate. The goal is to make federal regulations clearer, shorter, and easier for businesses, states, and citizens to understand and comply with. **Who It Affects** The bill would primarily impact federal agencies (which would need to use AI for this review process), businesses and organizations that must follow federal regulations, and potentially the general public by making government rules more accessible. It could affect virtually any sector regulated by the federal government, from healthcare and environmental protection to finance and workplace safety. **Key Details and Current Status** While the specific provisions aren't detailed in the available information, the bill's title suggests it focuses on using AI as a tool for regulatory review rather than eliminating regulations outright. The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was sponsored by Representative Blake Moore (R-UT).

To expand the sharing of information with respect to suspected violations of intellectual property rights in trade.
# Summary of HR 4930 **What the Bill Would Do** HR 4930 would allow government agencies to share more information with each other about suspected intellectual property violations in international trade. Intellectual property includes things like patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. Currently, agencies like U.S. Customs and Border Protection have restrictions on how much information they can share about suspected counterfeit goods or patent infringements. This bill would relax those restrictions so agencies can work together more effectively to identify and stop these violations before they enter the U.S. market. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects U.S. companies and creators whose intellectual property could be protected by better enforcement, as well as importers and businesses engaged in international trade. It also impacts the government agencies responsible for customs enforcement and trade regulation, giving them new tools to coordinate their efforts. **Current Status** HR 4930 was introduced by Representative Blake Moore (R-UT) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. No further action has been taken on the bill at this time.
MAPWaters Act of 2025
# MAPWaters Act of 2025 Summary **What It Does** The MAPWaters Act, signed into law in 2025, requires the U.S. Forest Service and Department of the Interior to create a unified, standardized system for collecting and sharing information about public access to federal waterways. The agencies must develop common data standards so their databases work together seamlessly, then digitize and publish this information online for public use. Within five years, people should be able to easily find maps and details about where they can fish, boat, or otherwise recreate on federal waters, as well as any restrictions that apply. **Who It Affects** This law primarily benefits outdoor enthusiasts—anglers, boaters, kayakers, and others who want to access federal waterways for recreation. It also affects the Forest Service and Department of the Interior, which must coordinate their efforts and invest time and resources into standardizing their data systems. Hunters and fishers will have clearer information about where they can legally fish and hunt. **Current Status** The bill has already been signed into law and is in effect, meaning the agencies are now required to meet the five-year deadline to have all the geographic data digitized and publicly available online.
University of Utah Research Park Act
# University of Utah Research Park Act Summary **What the Bill Does** This bill authorizes the University of Utah to use approximately 593 acres of land in Salt Lake City for a research park and related university facilities. The land, which is not federally owned, would support research activities and also allow for the development of student housing and a public transit hub on the property. By passing this bill, Congress is officially confirming that these uses qualify as a valid public purpose. **Who It Affects** The University of Utah, its students, and the Salt Lake City community would be the primary beneficiaries. The bill could support job creation through research activities and improve student access to housing and transportation. Local residents and businesses in the area may also be affected by the development of these facilities. **Current Status** The bill has passed the House of Representatives and is now pending further action in the Senate. As of this summary, it has not yet become law.
Increasing Baseline Updates Act
# Increasing Baseline Updates Act (HR 6470) - Plain Language Summary **What the bill would do:** This bill would require the Congressional Budget Office (CBO)—a nonpartisan agency that estimates how much the federal government will spend and collect in taxes each year—to provide Congress with at least two updated forecasts annually instead of just one. At least one of these updates would need to include the economic data behind the numbers. The bill also requires the President to submit technical budget information to Congress by February 1st each year. **Who it affects and why it matters:** This primarily affects Congress members, budget planners, and the public who rely on accurate federal spending forecasts. Currently, the CBO only publishes one official baseline projection each February, with occasional summer updates depending on when the President submits his budget. The bill aims to provide more frequent and transparent information so Congress has better data throughout the year when making spending decisions. **Current status:** The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House or Senate.

It may also impact schools, community organizations, healthcare providers, and potentially employers who participate in wellness programs. Any government agencies tasked with implementing new health initiatives would also be involved. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill remains in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet advanced to a full House vote. It was sponsored by Representative Blake Moore (R-UT-1).

BECCS Advancement Commission Act of 2025
# BECCS Advancement Commission Act of 2025 (HR 5597) Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would establish a new federal commission dedicated to advancing Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) technology. BECCS is a process that captures carbon dioxide produced when burning biomass (organic material like wood or agricultural waste) for energy, then stores that carbon permanently underground. The commission would study and develop strategies to promote this technology in the United States. **Who It Affects and Key Details** The bill would create a government body tasked with researching BECCS development, identifying barriers to implementation, and recommending policies to support the industry. This could potentially affect energy producers, agricultural sectors, environmental goals related to carbon reduction, and federal climate and energy policy. The specific provisions, membership structure, and commission powers are not detailed in the available information. **Current Status** As of now, HR 5597 remains in committee and has not advanced further in the legislative process. The bill was introduced by Representative Blake Moore, a Republican from Utah, during the 119th Congress.

# Summary of HR 4812 **What the Bill Does** This bill would require the Secretary of the Air Force to include specific elements related to depot-level maintenance coordination in at least one multinational military exercise conducted in the Indo-Pacific region. "Depot-level maintenance" refers to major repair and overhaul work done at centralized military facilities. Essentially, the bill aims to ensure that air force maintenance coordination is practiced and tested during joint military exercises with allied nations in that region. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects the U.S. Air Force and its operations in the Indo-Pacific area, which includes countries like Japan, South Korea, Australia, and other U.S. allies in the region.

# Protecting Circuit Boards and Substrates Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do** HR 3597 aims to protect the domestic production and supply of circuit boards and substrates—essential components used in electronics ranging from smartphones to military equipment. While specific details are limited in the publicly available information, bills with this title typically seek to support American manufacturers of these critical components, possibly through measures like funding, tariffs, or regulations that favor domestic production over imports. **Who It Affects** The bill would primarily impact electronics manufacturers, semiconductor producers, and related industries that depend on circuit boards and substrates. It could also affect consumers through potential changes in electronics pricing, and may have implications for national security and defense contractors who rely on reliable domestic supply chains for sensitive equipment. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet advanced to a full vote in the House of Representatives.

The bill details show it's currently in committee with no subjects listed in the congressional database, which means either the full legislative text isn't yet available or the summary data is incomplete.

# Restoring Temporary to TANF Act (HR 2354) - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would modify the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program by reinforcing its "temporary" nature. TANF is a federal welfare program that provides cash assistance to low-income families with children. The bill's main intent is to limit how long people can receive benefits and strengthen work requirements, reflecting the original design of TANF when it was created in 1996. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects low-income families currently receiving or potentially eligible for TANF benefits. It would also impact state governments that administer TANF programs, as they would need to implement stricter time limits and work requirements. Children in these families could be indirectly affected by changes in household income and support. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives.

HOPE Act of 2025
# HOPE Act of 2025 Summary Unfortunately, I don't have access to the specific details of HR 955 (HOPE Act of 2025) in my training data, so I cannot provide you with accurate information about what this bill would do, who it affects, or its key provisions.

Charitable Act
# Summary of HR 801: Charitable Act **What It Does** This bill would make it easier for average taxpayers to claim tax deductions for charitable donations. Currently, only taxpayers who "itemize" their deductions can deduct charitable contributions—most taxpayers use the standard deduction instead and get no tax benefit from donating. HR 801 would allow non-itemizing taxpayers to deduct charitable gifts up to one-third of their standard deduction (approximately $4,700 for single filers under current tax law) starting in 2026 or 2027. The bill also removes a 50% penalty for taxpayers who accidentally overstate their charitable donations. **Who It Affects** This change primarily benefits average Americans who donate to charities but don't itemize deductions on their tax returns—roughly 90% of taxpayers. Charities may also benefit if tax incentives encourage more giving. The bill has no direct impact on wealthy taxpayers, who already itemize and can deduct all charitable contributions. **Current Status** HR 801 is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but not yet debated or voted on by the full House. The bill was sponsored by Representative Blake Moore (R-UT) and remains in the early stages of the legislative process.
Family First Act
# Family First Act Summary **What the bill would do:** The Family First Act would expand tax credits to help families with children and pregnant women. It would increase the child tax credit from its current level to up to $4,200 per child (with the amount varying by age and income), and make the credit fully refundable, meaning eligible families could receive the full amount even if they owe no taxes. The bill also creates a new tax credit of up to $2,800 for pregnant women carrying unborn children at 20 weeks gestation or more. Additionally, it would modify several other tax provisions related to state and local taxes, the earned income tax credit, and dependent care expenses. **Who it affects and key details:** This bill primarily affects families with children and pregnant women seeking tax relief. The expanded child tax credit would be limited to six children per taxpayer and would phase out at higher income levels. Similarly, the pregnancy tax credit would phase out based on income. The bill also makes changes to other tax deductions and credits that affect working families more broadly. **Current status:** The bill (HR 353) was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Blake Moore (R-UT) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives.
