What this bill does
H.Res. 1028 is a simple resolution expressing the "sense of the House" — a non-binding statement of opinion rather than a law — declaring that the United States must act to curb the political and economic power of billionaires and large corporations. It calls on the President and Congress to withhold federal contracts, loans, and grants from companies or individuals engaged in corrupt dealings, unfair competition, or violations of labor, environmental, or nondiscrimination laws. It urges public financing of elections, breaking up monopolies in media, finance, and tech, raising taxes on corporations and the wealthy (including a wealth tax) to fund health care, housing, education, and climate programs, reforming the Supreme Court's approach to money in politics, expanding labor unions, promoting cooperative and public ownership models, and increasing public investment in living standards.
The resolution does not create new laws, funding, or enforcement mechanisms; it broadly addresses billionaires, large corporations, the President, Congress, the Supreme Court, workers, and the general public by voicing House sentiment on their roles in the economy and democracy. As a statement of position, it would not directly change taxes, regulations, or spending on its own.
The bill was introduced on January 30, 2026, by Rep. Rashida Tlaib and referred to the House Judiciary Committee, along with several other committees (House Administration, Ways and Means, Education and Workforce, Energy and Commerce, Financial Services, and Agriculture) for consideration within their jurisdictions. As an introduced resolution, it would need committee action and a House vote to advance; since it is nonbinding, even if passed it would not have the force of law but would signal the House's collective viewpoint on these issues.
