What this bill does
H.R. 9586, the "Delivering Priority Legislation Act," is a wide-ranging bill combining a dozen unrelated provisions across separate titles. It extends and modifies SBIR/STTR small-business research grant administrative funding through 2030, raises the administrative-cost cap slightly, and requires certain federal agencies to transfer funds to the Small Business Administration; reauthorizes and expands the "Every Kid Outdoors" program to include fifth graders and authorizes $25 million annually for it; creates a National Nuclear Forensics Center within the National Nuclear Security Administration while repealing the existing nuclear forensics law and reorganizing related Homeland Security provisions; loosens Family and Medical Leave Act rules on intermittent leave and certification; expresses support for, and authorizes, federally insured second mortgages through FHA, USDA, and VA programs, with related public disclosure of insured/guaranteed loan properties; creates a new tax credit (up to $1,000, income-limited, usable once every five years) for hearing aid purchases starting in 2027; requires a National Intelligence Estimate on Chinese-developed AI systems' risks; creates a new federal crime for using shell entities to conceal illegal foreign-national campaign contributions; and includes House rule changes, a PAYGO budgetary provision, and roughly $5 million in FY2027 appropriations for several agencies including MedPAC, the Joint Economic Committee, FinCEN, the Space Force, EPA, and ARPA-E.
The bill would affect small businesses receiving SBIR/STTR grants, school children and outdoor-education programs, nuclear security agencies, workers using FMLA leave, homebuyers with FHA/USDA/VA-backed mortgages, people who purchase hearing aids, intelligence agencies studying foreign AI, and entities involved in campaign finance.
The bill was introduced July 2, 2026, by Rep. James McGovern and referred to numerous House committees, including Ways and Means and eighteen others, for consideration within their jurisdictions. No further action has occurred; it would need committee consideration and votes in the House and Senate, followed by presidential signature, before becoming law.
