To amend section 5318 of title 31, United States Code, to require financial institutions to verify the lawful immigration status of applicants for deposit accounts through a self-attestation form, to impose penalties on individuals for false attestations, and for other purposes.
# Summary of HR 7842 **What the Bill Would Do:** If passed, HR 7842 would require banks and other financial institutions to verify that people opening deposit accounts are in the United States legally. Rather than institutions conducting their own investigations, applicants would sign a self-attestation form confirming their lawful immigration status. The bill would also create penalties for individuals who knowingly provide false information on these forms. **Who It Affects:** This legislation would impact anyone opening a new bank account, particularly non-citizens and immigrants. It would also affect all financial institutions that accept deposits, which would need to implement new verification procedures and forms. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Andrew Ogles (R-Tennessee). **Current Status:** HR 7842 is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill has not advanced to broader consideration at this time.
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to impose a tax on income earned from competing in global athletic events on behalf of foreign entities of concern.
# Summary of HR 7707 **What the Bill Would Do** HR 7707 would create a new tax on income that American athletes earn when competing in international sporting events on behalf of countries or entities designated as "of concern" to the U.S. government. Essentially, if an American athlete competes for a foreign country or organization flagged by the government, they would owe federal income tax on the money they receive from that competition. **Who It Affects and Key Details** This bill primarily affects American athletes who compete internationally, particularly those who might represent countries that the U.S. considers adversarial or problematic. The bill references "foreign entities of concern," though it doesn't specify which countries or organizations would fall into this category. The legislation would modify the tax code to classify such athletic income differently than it currently is treated, making it subject to federal taxation. **Current Status** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Andrew Ogles (R-TN) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet advanced to a full House vote. At this stage, the bill remains in the early phases of the legislative process and would require committee approval and further votes before potentially becoming law.
To amend section 6103 of title 5, United States Code, to change the date designated for Washington's Birthday and designate Lincoln's Birthday as a legal public holiday.
# Bill Summary: HR 7663 ## What the Bill Would Do This bill proposes two changes to federal holidays: it would move the observance of Washington's Birthday to a different date and create a new federal holiday for Lincoln's Birthday. Currently, "Washington's Birthday" is observed on the third Monday in February (Presidents' Day), while Lincoln's Birthday (February 12) is not a federal holiday. If passed, this bill would alter that arrangement, though the specific new date for Washington's Birthday is not detailed in the summary provided. ## Who It Affects The bill would primarily affect federal employees, who would gain a holiday, and federal contractors and government offices that observe federal holidays. It could also impact businesses and schools that follow the federal holiday calendar. The general public might see changes in when certain government services operate or when some private businesses close. ## Current Status HR 7663 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 was sponsored by Representative Andrew Ogles (R-TN).
Preserving Counterterrorism Capabilities Act of 2026
# Preserving Counterterrorism Capabilities Act of 2026 (HR 7512) – Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** Unfortunately, detailed information about the specific provisions of this bill is not publicly available yet. The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress but remains in committee without a detailed summary, text, or stated subjects in the public record. This typically means the bill is in early stages and either hasn't advanced enough for full details to be documented, or the information hasn't been indexed in standard legislative databases. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it hasn't been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was sponsored by Representative Andrew Ogles (R-TN). Until the bill advances or its full text is made available, it's impossible to determine exactly who would be affected or what specific counterterrorism policies it would change. **Next Steps:** To learn more about this bill's actual provisions, you can check Congress.gov directly, contact Representative Ogles' office, or wait for the bill to advance further in the legislative process, at which point details will become public.
To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 417 West 7th Street in Columbia, Tennessee, as the "Pharmacist's Mate First Class John Harlan Willis Post Office Building".
# Summary of HR 6808 **What the Bill Does** This bill would rename a post office building in Columbia, Tennessee after Pharmacist's Mate First Class John Harlan Willis. The facility is located at 417 West 7th Street. If passed, the building would officially be called the "Pharmacist's Mate First Class John Harlan Willis Post Office Building." The change is purely ceremonial and would not affect postal services or operations. **Who It Affects and Current Status** The bill primarily honors Willis, apparently a military service member with the rank of Pharmacist's Mate First Class, likely from the U.S. Navy. It would impact residents and businesses in Columbia, Tennessee who use this post office location. The bill was introduced by Representative Andrew Ogles (R-TN-5) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives.

To award a Congressional Gold Medal to Charles ''Charlie'' Kirk, in recognition of his unwavering dedication to the American Spirit, even to the point of death at the hand of a terrorist.
# Congressional Gold Medal Bill Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** HR 6278 proposes awarding a Congressional Gold Medal to Charles "Charlie" Kirk in recognition of his dedication to the American Spirit. The bill's language indicates it commemorates Kirk's death at the hands of a terrorist. The Congressional Gold Medal is one of the highest civilian honors Congress can bestow, typically awarded to individuals for distinguished achievements and contributions to American society. **Who It Affects:** The bill directly honors the individual being recognized. Congressional Gold Medals are primarily symbolic honors that don't provide direct financial benefits, though they carry significant prestige and historical recognition. The medal would be added to collections and may be displayed publicly. **Current Status:** The bill (HR 6278) is currently in committee during the 119th Congress, meaning it has not yet advanced to a full House vote. It was introduced by Representative Andrew Ogles (R-TN-5). *Note: This summary reflects only the bill's stated purpose as presented in official congressional records.

PILLAR Act
# PILLAR Act Summary **What It Does:** The PILLAR Act extends and expands a federal grant program that helps states, local governments, and Native American tribes protect their computer systems from cyberattacks. Currently set to expire, the bill would keep the program running through 2035. It broadens what the grants can cover—adding protection for operational technology systems (like those controlling power grids or water systems) and artificial intelligence systems. The bill also requires that any software or equipment purchased with these grants meets security standards set by the federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). **Who It Affects:** State and local governments, tribal nations, and their residents would benefit from improved cybersecurity protections. Federal taxpayers fund the program, and cybersecurity vendors could be affected by the requirement to meet CISA standards to sell to grant recipients. **Current Status:** The bill has passed the House of Representatives and is awaiting action in the Senate. It was sponsored by Representative Andrew Ogles (R-Tennessee).
Strengthening Cyber Resilience Against State-Sponsored Threats Act
# Strengthening Cyber Resilience Against State-Sponsored Threats Act Summary **What It Does:** This bill creates a task force within the federal government to coordinate efforts against Chinese state-sponsored hackers, particularly a group called Volt Typhoon. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), part of the Department of Homeland Security, would lead this task force and bring together multiple agencies—including the Defense Department, Energy Department, and FBI—to better detect, analyze, and respond to Chinese cyber attacks. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects federal agencies responsible for cybersecurity and critical infrastructure protection. Indirectly, it could benefit Americans who rely on critical systems like power grids, water systems, and other essential services that are vulnerable to cyber attacks. The task force aims to ensure different agencies work together seamlessly rather than in separate silos. **Current Status:** The bill passed the House of Representatives and is now awaiting Senate action. Key provisions require the involved agencies to share analysis, inspection reports, and audit findings with the task force to improve coordination and ensure responses to cyber threats are aligned across government.
Capital Emergency Control Act of 2025
# Capital Emergency Control Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** The Capital Emergency Control Act of 2025 (HR 5207) is currently in the early stages of the legislative process and has not yet been publicly detailed with specific provisions. Without access to the bill's text or committee documents, the exact scope of what it would accomplish cannot be precisely determined. Based on the title alone, it appears to relate to emergency control measures affecting the nation's capital (Washington, D.C.). **Current Status:** The bill was introduced by Representative Andrew Ogles (R-TN) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House. At this stage, the bill remains in preliminary review and has not advanced further in the legislative process. **Next Steps:** To understand the specific impacts, affected populations, and key provisions of this bill, the full legislative text would need to be reviewed once it becomes available through official congressional sources like Congress.gov.
Protecting Law Enforcement from Doxxing Act
# Protecting Law Enforcement from Doxxing Act - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would create federal penalties for "doxxing" law enforcement officers—the practice of publicly sharing their personal information (like home addresses, phone numbers, or family details) online with intent to harass, intimidate, or endanger them. If passed, it would make this activity a federal crime with specific criminal penalties for those who share such information with the goal of causing harm to officers or their families. **Who It Affects** The bill is designed to protect federal, state, and local law enforcement officers from online harassment and potential physical danger. It would also apply to anyone convicted of doxxing officers under the law, creating legal consequences for this behavior. **Current Status** As of now, HR 5118 remains in committee and has not been voted on by the full House. The bill was introduced by Representative Andrew Ogles (R-TN) in the 119th Congress. Committee review is an early stage in the legislative process where the bill could be debated, amended, approved, or shelved.
To prohibit the Federal Government from using facial recognition technology as a means of identity verification, and for other purposes.
# Summary of HR 3782 **What the Bill Would Do** HR 3782 would ban the federal government from using facial recognition technology to verify people's identities. If passed, federal agencies could no longer rely on this technology as an official method to confirm who someone is for government services, benefits, or other purposes. The bill appears to be a straightforward prohibition, though the full details of any exceptions or implementation methods are not specified in the available information. **Who It Affects** This bill would primarily affect federal government agencies and the public they serve. Citizens and visitors interacting with federal agencies—whether applying for benefits, crossing borders, accessing services, or undergoing security screening—could be impacted if those agencies currently use or planned to use facial recognition for identification purposes. It could also affect private companies that contract with the federal government to provide identification services. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Representative Andrew Ogles (R-TN) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. At this stage, it remains in the early phase of the legislative process and would need committee approval before advancing further.
To prohibit the Federal Government from establishing or maintaining a database that contains data collected through, or facilitates, the biometric identity verification of a citizen of the United States, and for other purposes.
# Summary of HR 3693 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would prohibit the federal government from creating or maintaining databases containing biometric data (such as fingerprints, facial recognition, iris scans, or DNA profiles) used to identify U.S. citizens. The legislation aims to restrict the government's ability to collect, store, or use this type of personal identification information in centralized databases. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** The bill would impact federal agencies and any government programs that collect or use biometric data for identity verification purposes. It would likely affect law enforcement, border security, and other agencies that currently use biometric systems. The legislation appears designed to address privacy concerns about government surveillance and the creation of comprehensive citizen identification systems. **Current Status** As of now, HR 3693 is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Representative Andrew Ogles (R-TN). It remains in the early stages of the legislative process with no further action taken at this time.
Confronting CCP Human Rights Abusers Act
# Confronting CCP Human Rights Abusers Act (HR 3461) Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would authorize the U.S. government to impose sanctions and other penalties against individuals and entities it identifies as being responsible for human rights abuses committed by or on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). If passed, it would give the federal government tools to restrict the assets, travel, and business activities of those deemed responsible for such abuses, similar to existing sanctions programs used against other countries and entities. **Who It Affects:** The bill would primarily target Chinese government officials, military personnel, and businesses alleged to be involved in human rights violations. It could also affect people and companies that do business with these sanctioned individuals and entities. The stated intent is to hold CCP leadership and organizations accountable for practices the U.S. government considers abusive, though the bill doesn't specify particular incidents. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was introduced by Representative Andrew Ogles (R-TN) and has not advanced to a vote. The bill's specific provisions and enforcement mechanisms are not detailed in this summary, as those details would be found in the full legislative text.

The bill aims to leverage both nations' technological expertise—the U.S. and Israel are both significant players in AI development—to advance mutual interests in the technology sector. Specific provisions aren't detailed in the available information, but such cooperation agreements typically involve coordinating research priorities, removing barriers to collaboration, and potentially sharing findings or resources. **Current Status** As of now, the bill remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was introduced by Rep. Andrew Ogles (R-TN) and has not advanced beyond the initial committee review stage.

Stop Fentanyl Money Laundering Act of 2025
# Stop Fentanyl Money Laundering Act of 2025 - Plain Language Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill aims to crack down on money laundering operations that finance fentanyl and other illegal drug trafficking. If passed, it would give the U.S. Department of the Treasury stronger tools to identify and restrict financial transactions connected to international drug distribution networks. Treasury could require U.S. banks and financial institutions to report suspicious transactions or take special monitoring measures when they detect potential drug-related money laundering, particularly involving financial institutions or activities linked to fentanyl trafficking. **Key Provisions and Who It Affects** The bill requires FinCEN (a government agency that tracks financial crimes) to provide guidance to U.S. banks on how to spot money laundering patterns specifically related to Chinese and Mexican drug trafficking operations. Banks and financial institutions would need to comply with new reporting requirements and security measures. The legislation targets foreign financial institutions and international criminal networks involved in drug trafficking, but U.S. financial institutions would bear the responsibility of implementing these new monitoring and reporting rules. **Current Status** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Andrew Ogles (R-Tennessee) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives.

While the bill's full details are limited in available records, it appears designed to prevent American consumers and businesses from accessing this payment system, likely citing national security or economic concerns related to Chinese-owned technology platforms. **Who It Affects** This bill would primarily impact U.S. businesses and consumers who currently use or want to use Alipay for transactions, particularly those engaged in cross-border commerce with China or serving Chinese tourists and international customers. It could also affect payment processors and financial institutions that currently support the platform. **Current Status** As of now, HR 1730 remains in committee and has not advanced to a floor vote. The bill was introduced by Representative Andrew Ogles (R-TN) in the 119th Congress. Like many bills in committee, it may be debated, amended, or could stall without further action.
No CBDC Act
# No CBDC Act Summary **What It Does:** This bill would prevent the Federal Reserve, U.S. Treasury Department, and other federal agencies from creating or using a central bank digital currency (CBDC)—essentially a digital version of U.S. dollars issued and controlled by the government. If passed, it would ban the government from developing, testing, or implementing such a currency system. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects federal financial agencies and potentially future monetary policy. It could impact any future plans the government might have had to modernize currency systems, but would have limited direct effects on average Americans' current banking or spending since no CBDC currently exists in the U.S. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee (HR 1430, introduced in the 119th Congress by Rep. Andrew Ogles of Tennessee). This means it has not yet been voted on by the full House and remains in the early legislative stage. The bill reflects ongoing political debate about whether governments should develop digital currencies, with some concerned about privacy and government control, while others see potential benefits for modernizing the financial system.
Protecting the Second Amendment in Financial Services Act
# Protecting the Second Amendment in Financial Services Act (HR 1224) **What the Bill Would Do** This bill aims to prevent banks and financial institutions from denying services to gun manufacturers, dealers, and retailers based on their business activities. The legislation would restrict what supporters describe as "financial discrimination" against the firearms industry. Banks and payment processors would face limitations on their ability to refuse accounts, loans, or services to legitimate gun-related businesses, even if those institutions have internal policies against financing weapons manufacturers or dealers. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily impacts gun manufacturers and dealers, financial institutions like banks and credit card companies, and indirectly gun owners. It would constrain the business decisions of financial companies regarding which industries they serve, while potentially ensuring that firearms businesses have greater access to banking and payment processing services. **Current Status** HR 1224 is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House. The bill was introduced by Representative Andrew Ogles (R-TN) in the 119th Congress. No action has been taken beyond committee referral.
End of GSE Conservatorship Preparation Act of 2025
# End of GSE Conservatorship Preparation Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would require the U.S. Treasury Department to report to Congress on plans for ending the government's control of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac—two major mortgage companies that have been under federal supervision since the 2008 financial crisis. The report would address both how to exit this government oversight (called "conservatorship") and how the government would handle its financial stake in these companies, which the Treasury has been supporting with taxpayer funds for over 15 years. **Who It Affects and Key Details** The bill would affect the mortgage industry, homeowners, and taxpayers. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac play a central role in the U.S. housing market by guaranteeing mortgages and helping make home loans available. The bill doesn't make changes itself—it simply asks the government to develop and explain a plan for eventually releasing these companies from federal control. This is mainly an informational step designed to move toward potential future policy changes about how the mortgage system operates. **Current Status** The bill was introduced in the House by Representative Andrew Ogles (R-TN) in 2025 and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House.

# Restoring American Sovereignty Act (HR 1088) — Plain Language Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would redirect paused foreign aid money toward deportation efforts for people who are not U.S. citizens and lack legal status to remain in the country. Specifically, it would allow the President to use foreign aid funds that were frozen under Executive Order 14169 to pay for deporting undocumented immigrants instead of sending that money abroad. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects undocumented immigrants (non-citizens without legal authorization to be in the U.S.) and foreign aid recipient countries that would lose or continue to lose promised assistance. U.S. taxpayers would also be affected, as it redirects existing government funds rather than allocating new money. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Representative Andrew Ogles (R-Tennessee) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it hasn't been voted on by the full House yet. No action has been taken beyond its initial introduction.
