Recent legislative efforts in the U.S. Congress focus on consumer protection, financial crime prevention, and healthcare accountability. The House passed the bipartisan No Hidden FEES Act, aimed at providing cost transparency for travelers by eliminating unexpected fees. Additionally, a new bill co-sponsored by Senator Cortez Masto and Senator Chuck Grassley seeks to empower the Secret Service to investigate criminal organizations that use digital assets to evade law enforcement. In healthcare, Senator Patty Murray and Senator Ron Wyden have introduced legislation to penalize predatory health insurance brokers and establish a verification process for consumers using HealthCare.gov. Furthermore, Representative Frank Pallone is advocating for transparency provisions regarding private equity's role in healthcare, citing concerns over rising costs and declining patient care. Lastly, Representative Langworthy has introduced the bipartisan Safer Skies Act to enhance aviation security by closing loopholes that allow certain carriers to bypass post-9/11 security measures.
