Sponsored by Gillibrand, Kirsten E. (Democrat-NY) · Senate · Last action: May 12, 2026

To express the Sense of Congress with respect to safety of medication abortion and Federal preemption of State restrictions on dispensing medication abortion, and for other purposes.

Sponsored by Ryan, Patrick (Democrat-NY-18) · House · Last action: May 11, 2026

This bill expresses Congress's position that medication abortion is safe and proposes that federal law should override state restrictions on how medication abortion drugs are dispensed. The bill is nonbinding—it states Congress's views rather than creating new law.

Melanie's Law

Sponsored by Ryan, Patrick (Democrat-NY-18) · House · Last action: May 11, 2026

This bill would amend the 1968 Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act to create a new federal grant program that helps states and local governments issue and enforce protective orders (also called restraining orders) for family members of people in intimate relationships who may be at risk of domestic violence. The grants would support the legal infrastructure needed to obtain and enforce these orders.

Sponsored by Torres, Ritchie (Democrat-NY-15) · House · Last action: May 4, 2026

This bill uses a congressional disapproval process to block the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) from withdrawing guidance about deceptive marketing practices related to money transfer services.

Sponsored by Meeks, Gregory W. (Democrat-NY-5) · House · Last action: May 4, 2026

This bill would use a congressional disapproval process to block the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) from withdrawing guidance it issued in 2023 about reopening bank deposit accounts that customers had previously closed.
