The bill introduces the Restore Trust in Government Act , which prohibits Members of Congress, the President, Vice President, and their immediate families from owning or trading individual stocks, commodities, futures, and certain other investments. These covered individuals must divest existing prohibited investments within 180 days or 90 days for new officials, with penalties for non-compliance including a 10% fee and disgorgement of profits. The bill also amends House Rules to specifically ban Members from owning common stock of any individual public corporation, reinforcing these ethics provisions. A significant provision establishes a federal standard for paid annual leave , requiring employers to provide at least one hour of paid leave for every 25 hours worked, up to 80 hours annually. This leave can be used for any reason, with employers maintaining employee benefits during leave and allowing carryover of up to 40 unused hours. Employers are prohibited from discriminating against employees for exercising these rights and must provide clear notice of leave policies and earned leave balances. The legislation modifies tax credits for clean energy production and investment , restoring and extending incentives for wind and solar facilities and leasing arrangements by adjusting phase-out triggers and credit rates. It expands Medicare coverage to include various fall prevention items like grab bars and non-slip mats, exempting these payments from sequestration. Furthermore, the bill mandates that the President's budget submission and congressional budget resolutions include analyses of proposals to lower the cost of living across key sectors such as healthcare, housing, and transportation. To enhance national security oversight, the bill establishes an Intelligence Transparency and Oversight Program Office within the Department of Homeland Security, led by an Ombuds to ensure objectivity and address concerns about intelligence activities. It also provides a 4% increase in basic military pay for fiscal year 2027 and a 3% increase in wartime disability compensation for veterans. Other provisions include extending cybersecurity workforce programs, prohibiting new oil and gas leasing off the coasts of several Northeastern states, and giving legal effect to a rule restricting creditors' use of medical information.
