WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr. (GA-02) and Congressman Mike Lawler (NY-17) introduced the H–1Bs for Physicians and the Healthcare Workforce Act, bipartisan legislation along with Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar (FL-27) and Congresswoman Yvette Clarke (NY-09). This legislation will exempt physicians and other health care workers from the new $100,000 fee for H-1B petitions. It also prohibits new H-1B fees from being imposed on health care workers that exceed the existing fees under the U.S. Code.

With workforce shortages continuing to strain hospitals and health systems across the country, the lawmakers introduced this legislation to ensure physicians and other medical professionals can continue serving patients in communities that rely on them. 

“The $100,000 H1-B filing fee adds insult to injury to hospitals, especially in rural areas. The fee will have a detrimental impact on their ability to recruit qualified health care professionals to some of the nation’s most underserved areas. The bipartisan legislation we are introducing today, however, will ensure that all physicians and health professionals are exempted from this fee so that they can continue to serve without fear or financial hardship” said Congressman Bishop.

“As detailed in President Trump’s proclamation putting this fee in place, it is certainly in the national interest to exempt healthcare workers. Hospitals, community health centers, and other critical facilities are facing serious workforce shortages that threaten access to care. And they can’t pay a $100,000 price tag on new immigrant workers. Without the clarification provided in this bill, the physicians and the wider healthcare workforce would effectively be shut out of the H-1B program, furthering workforce shortages and limiting care options. Communities in the Hudson Valley and across the country depend on healthcare workers, and this legislation makes sure they can continue delivering critical care,” said Congressman Lawler. 

“As they are in so many areas across our society and economy, immigrant Americans remain indispensable assets to keeping our hospitals and health systems running steadily, efficiently, and effectively. The bipartisan willingness to ensure migrant health care workers are exempted from the $100,000 fee for H-1B petitions stands as a testament to the widely accepted value and necessity of these workers in one of this country’s most vital, yet vulnerable sectors. I am proud to co-lead this effort to prevent dangerous workforce shortages from impacting the health and well-being of Americans, as well as to ensure that those who are willing to contribute their expertise and talents to our nation can continue to do so at the times when we most need them,” said Congresswoman Clarke.

“Healthcare access starts with having enough doctors and medical professionals to serve our communities. As our nation faces a growing physician shortage, we must ensure that steep fees do not stand in the way of hospitals bringing in the medical talent American patients depend on. That’s why I’m proud to co-lead the H-1Bs for Physicians and the Healthcare Workforce Act, removing a financial barrier so providers can recruit the physicians they need and ensure families in Florida and across America receive the timely, high-quality healthcare they deserve,” said Congresswoman Salazar. 

The U.S. healthcare industry relies on the H-1B visa program to recruit physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals, particularly in rural and underserved communities facing workforce shortages. According to the Health Resources and Services Administration, nearly 87 million Americans live in areas federally designated as lacking enough medical professionals to meet community health care needs.

The H-1Bs for Physicians and the Healthcare Workforce Act exempts health care workers, defined under the Affordable Care Act, from the $100,000 fee required for certain H-1B visa petitions under the September 2025 Presidential Proclamation and prohibits additional fees beyond those already established under existing immigration law for these workers.

Endorsing organizations include the American Association of Medical Colleges, American Hospital Association, American Medical Association, Association for Advancing Physician and Provider Recruitment, Greater New York Hospital Association, Healthcare Association of New York State, and Physicians for American Healthcare Access.

“Patients across the country are feeling the effects of the growing physician shortage. Medicare patients and people in rural and underserved areas already struggle to get the care they need. In many such communities, international medical graduates play an important role in providing care and ensuring patients can see a doctor when they need one. The AMA supports this legislation to ensure the new $100,000 fee does not make it harder to recruit highly skilled physicians. We thank Reps. Lawler (R-NY), Bishop (D-GA), Salazar (R-FL), and Clarke (D-NY), for introducing this bipartisan bill. The AMA urges Congress to act quickly to protect patients’ access to care,” said Bobby Mukkamala, MD, President, American Medical Association.

“International medical graduates are essential to health care delivery in communities that would otherwise struggle to access a doctor. The $100,000 H-1B fee could undermine the physician pipeline to the places that need it most, including rural communities, underserved areas, and safety-net hospitals. Physicians for American Healthcare Access (PAHA) applauds Reps. Lawler (R-NY), Bishop (D-GA), Salazar (R-FL), and Clarke (D-NY) for this bipartisan legislation, and we urge Congress to pass the H-1Bs for Physicians and the Healthcare Workforce Act to safeguard patients’ access to care,” said Dr. Ram Alur, President, Physicians for Americans Healthcare Access.

“The $100,000 H-1B filing fee on health care entities poses a serious challenge to provider recruitment at a time when demand for physicians and other health care professionals continues to grow. Hospitals, health systems, and practices across the country rely on international physicians and health care professionals to meet patient needs. This fee could slow recruitment efforts and make it harder for employers to bring on the providers their communities depend on,” said Carey Goryl, Chief Executive Officer of the Association for Advancing Physician and Provider Recruitment (AAPPR). AAPPR supports the H-1Bs for Physicians and the Healthcare Workforce Act and applauds Reps. Lawler (R-NY), Bishop (D-GA), Salazar (R-FL), and Clarke (D-NY) for their bipartisan leadership on this issue,” said Carey Goryl, CEO, Association for Advancing Physician and Provider Recruitment.

“The AHA commends Representatives Lawler, Bishop, Salazar, and Clarke for introducing bipartisan legislation that would help maintain patient access to care in communities nationwide. Specifically, this important bill will maintain critical staffing for areas of the country where there are well-documented shortages of health care workers,” said Stacey Hughes, Executive Vice President of the American Hospital Association.

Today, Congresswomen Suzan DelBene (WA-01), Carol Miller (WV-01), and Kim Schrier, MD (WA-08) introduced legislation to provide more support to living organ donors and address the increasingly high costs of donation. The Expanding Support for Living Donors Act would remove financial barriers that prevent many people from donating life-saving organs.

Every day, 13 Americans die waiting for an organ transplant. There are more than 100,000 people on the transplant waitlist, and every eight minutes, another person is added. A transplant provides a new lease on life, but our current system is insufficient to meet the needs of patients.

While the rate of deceased donations has improved in recent years following Congressional action, the rate of living donations has flatlined over the past two decades. This is largely due to the high out-of-pocket costs of donating, which can exceed $10,000. Travel expenses, child care, and lost wages from missing work are all major costs that donors can incur in the process. The existing federal donor reimbursement program only provides up to $6,000 for donation-related expenses, which is often not enough, and income restrictions disqualify many people from accessing these benefits.

“Donors give the gift of life to their fellow Americans, but too often they’re held back by high personal out-of-pocket costs. No one should have to choose between saving a life and paying their bills. This legislation would remove unnecessary financial barriers that contribute to the transplant list growing every year. By making donations more accessible, we can help more patients receive the life‑saving transplants they need,” said DelBene.

“Becoming a living organ donor is an extraordinary act of generosity, but for many Americans the financial costs tied to donation remain a serious barrier. No one who steps forward to save a life should be left worrying about lost wages or out-of-pocket expenses. This is why I was so happy to partner with Congresswoman Suzan DelBene to reintroduce the Expanding Support for Living Donors Act, which strengthens and modernizes the Living Organ Donation Reimbursement Program by extending it through 2037. This way we can expand eligibility and increase reimbursement amounts beginning in fiscal year 2027. By updating this program to reflect today’s economic realities, we can better support donors and help ensure more patients receive the life-saving transplants they need,” said Miller.

“As a doctor, I have seen firsthand the life-changing impact that organ donations have and know that these donations add years to recipients’ lives, giving them a new lease on life and precious, additional time spent with their family and loved ones,” said Schrier. “Unfortunately, living donors often face burdensome financial barriers when trying to donate, such as travel costs and lost wages. These barriers can be the only obstacle standing between patients and the lifesaving care that they need. That’s why I am proud to support this bipartisan legislation to help address this issue and increase access by expanding financial assistance to living donors.”

The bill would:

• Reauthorize the Living Organ Donation Reimbursement Program through 2037.
• Increase the maximum reimbursement amount to $10,000 and peg it to inflation.
• Double the income eligibility to about $100,000 a year.
• Require an annual report on the program.

The legislation has been updated to reflect that the Honor Our Living Donors (HOLD) Act, introduced by DelBene and Jay Obernolte (CA-23), was signed into law earlier this year. The law allows more donors to qualify for wage, travel, and caregiver reimbursement when donating.

The bill is supported by the following patient advocacy and medical groups: National Kidney Foundation, American Society of Nephrology, Nonprofit Kidney Care Alliance, American Kidney Fund, Waitlist Zero, Centers for Dialysis Care, Central Florida Kidney Centers, Independent Dialysis Foundation, Northwest Kidney Centers, Puget Sound Kidney Centers, Renal Physicians Association, American Society of Pediatric Nephrology, American Society of Transplant Surgeons, American Liver Foundation, American Nephrology Nurses Association, Dialysis Patient Citizens, Ardelyx, Washington State Hospital Association, American Diabetes Association, DaVita, Fresenius, American Medical Association, and The Rogosin Institute.

“Giving a life-saving organ as a living donor is one of the greatest possible gifts. The American Society of Nephrology believes that living donation should be a cost-neutral act and commends the introduction of the Expanding Support for Living Donors Act,” said Samir M. Parikh, MD, FASN, President, American Society of Nephrology. “This bipartisan bill breaks down barriers to living organ donation by covering more out-of-pocket costs incurred during the living donation process for most Americans, enshrining our nation’s commitment to those who give the gift of life.”

“In the United States, twelve people die every day waiting for a kidney transplant,” said Kevin Longino, CEO of the National Kidney Foundation and a kidney transplant recipient. “Living donors make an extraordinary and selfless choice to save lives, and they should never face financial barriers because of that generosity. Strengthening the National Living Donor Assistance Center will help remove those barriers and ensure more patients have a chance to receive the life-saving transplant they need.”

“The American Kidney Fund is proud to support the Expanding Support for Living Donors Act, which would increase the number of living donors eligible for important federal programs,” said LaVarne Burton, President and CEO, American Kidney Fund. “There are many Americans moved to donate a kidney that may hesitate because they can’t afford time off, dependent care, transportation or lodging. By improving access to federal support, this legislation would ultimately help ensure more people on the kidney transplant waiting list receive the life-saving transplant they need.”

Today, Representative Suzan DelBene (WA-01) joined House and Senate colleagues in a letter asking President Trump to prioritize gaining market access for U.S. fresh potatoes during Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s upcoming visit to the United States. 

“U.S. potato growers produce the best potatoes in the world. International trade and foreign export markets are critical to the U.S. potato industry,” wrote the legislators.   

About 20 percent of American-grown potatoes are exported around the world, contributing nearly $4.8 billion in economic growth and supporting nearly 34,000 jobs in the United States. Ending Japan’s restrictions on U.S. fresh potatoes would result in an estimated $150 million a year in new American exports, benefitting farming communities in states across the country.  

“With low commodity prices and increased input costs this year, the potato sector, and specialty crops more broadly, are facing a major economic crisis.  Japan represents a massive market with significant export opportunities for American potato growers,” continued the legislators. “Securing this long-delayed market access petition and unlocking the critical Japanese export market would make a meaningful difference for potato growers in our states and across the country.”

March 13, 2026

Washington, D.C. — Today, Representatives Jared Huffman (CA-02), Dave Min (CA-47), Mike Lawler (NY-17), and Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-1) introduced the Safe Standards for Personal E-Bike and E-Moto Device Specifications Act (Safe SPEEDS Act) to establish a comprehensive federal regulatory standard for e-bikes and other electric micromobility products. This bill will strengthen consumer protections, improve accountability in the e-micromobility market, and support local efforts to reduce crashes and injuries.

“Without clear federal standards, the rapid growth of unregulated e-bikes is creating real safety risks for pedestrians, motorists, bicyclists, and especially children,” said Representative Huffman. “The Safe SPEEDS Act closes a decades-long gap in consumer protection by giving the CPSC the tools to set real safety standards, improve data collection, and help local communities respond to this growing challenge. Everyone who shares our roads, sidewalks, and trails across the North Coast deserves to feel safe.”

“E-bikes are an affordable, convenient, and popular mode of transportation in my district and across the nation,” said Representative Min. “However, the lack of oversight regarding e-bikes pose serious safety risks to our children and our communities. This bill will ensure federal e-bike standards are clearly defined while also empowering local governments to enhance their safety programs, keeping our communities safe while in transit.”

“Electric bikes are becoming a popular and convenient way for people to get around, but safety standards and consumer information have not kept up with their rapid growth. The Safe SPEEDS Act will create clear national classifications and labeling requirements so riders and families know exactly what they’re buying and how they should be used,” said Representative Lawler.

“E-bikes are quickly becoming a more common sight in communities across the country, offering convenience and new opportunities for riders of all ages. As this technology continues to evolve, our safety standards must evolve with it. The Safe SPEEDS Act establishes clear federal classifications, strengthens transparency for consumers and families, and improves the data communities rely on to better understand crash trends and prevent injuries. This is a smart, common-sense framework that ensures innovation continues responsibly while helping keep riders and communities safe,” said Representative Fitzpatrick.

E-bikes experienced explosive growth accompanied by doubling injury rates every year from 2017 to 2022, with children and young teens experiencing the highest rates of serious crashes and hospitalizations. Despite this data, federal consumer standards for e-bikes have remained largely unchanged since 2002, lacking clear e-bike class distinctions and disclosures on product information and crash data. Together, this results in a flooded market with minimal oversight, creating enormous public safety risks.

The Safe SPEEDS Act Would:

• Direct the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to develop a final consumer product safety standard defining clear and consistent classifications, labeling requirements, and minimum age recommendations for e-bikes, e-motos, and other off-road electric products.
• Require the CPSC to conduct and publish periodic studies on crashes, injuries, and fatalities associated with e-bikes and e-motos disaggregated by class.
• Establish a grant program and training module to help local governments, law enforcement agencies, and EMS standardize crash incident reporting, enhance data collection, and conduct public education on safety risks from e-bikes and e-motos.

This bill is endorsed by PeopleForBikes, League of American Bicyclists, National Bicycle Dealers Association, Consumer Reports, Safe Routes Partnership, International Association of Chiefs of Police, Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, and Rails-to-Trails Conservancy.

“PeopleForBikes is pleased to enthusiastically endorse the Safe SPEEDS Act, which will direct the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to gather and analyze data about incidents involving the many e-mobility products under its jurisdiction,” said Jenn Dice, president and CEO of PeopleForBikes. “The bill also directs the CPSC to adopt clear classification, age guidelines and labeling requirements for these devices, including consideration of the three recognized classes of low-speed electric bicycles. This legislation marks an important step towards understanding and mitigating the hazards posed by e-motos: higher speed electric motorized vehicles that are sold as electric dirt bikes, but often end up being inappropriately used on public roads by young riders.”

“The League of American Bicyclists celebrates biking in all of the diverse forms it takes and e-bikes have become a common and essential type of bike for many people,” said Ken McLeod, Policy Director of League of American Bicyclists. “While states have been active in defining e-bike classes that allow responsible regulation, the federal government has not yet stepped up in its role as a regulator to define what is an e-bike, and what is not, based on speed and motor capacity. The Safe SPEEDS Act would direct the Consumer Product Safety Commission to conduct research, propose national e-bike classes, and help communities integrate those classes into their traffic safety efforts. The League applauds Representative David Min for introducing this bill and we are optimistic its passage would help states implement responsible regulation for this growing and transformative mobility option, and reduce confusion for consumers, law enforcement, and emergency responders around e-bike safety.”

“The NBDA strongly supports Congressman Dave Min’s leadership on this critical e-bike safety legislation,” said Heather Mason, Executive Director of National Bicycle Dealers Association. “Establishing a clear, uniform federal standard for the classification and labeling of low-speed electric bicycles is long overdue and essential for protecting consumers, retailers, and the broader public. Specialty Bicycle Retailers see firsthand how confusion around e-bike classes, speed capabilities, and intended use can create real safety risks. This bill brings much-needed clarity by reinforcing consistent definitions, permanent labeling, and evidence-based recommendations grounded in data and stakeholder input. We appreciate Congressman Min’s thoughtful approach, one that balances innovation, consumer access, and safety, while supporting responsible manufacturers and retailers who are committed to compliance and education. This legislation represents an important step toward safer streets, better-informed riders, and a more accountable electric bicycle marketplace.”

“We’re seeing an e-bike crisis unfold across the state, and frankly, we need much stronger laws to fix it,” said Larry Agran, Mayor of the City of Irvine. “We have to protect our pedestrians and riders—young and old alike—from the real dangers out there. This legislation is a common-sense move to establish clear safety standards so families can make better choices. Irvine is proud to back this effort, and we thank Representative Min for leading the charge on e-bike safety for our state and the country.”

“The Safe SPEEDS Act will bring much needed clarity and consistency to the e-bike marketplace, a growing safety concern for families across the country,” said Mary Sackett, District 1 Supervisor of the Marin County Board of Supervisors. “Federal consumer product safety standards for e-bikes and e-motos are currently nonexistent, resulting in confusion and the inadvertent purchasing of e-motos for young riders. Funding for EMS data collection will also help other jurisdictions understand — like Marin has — the real safety risk that e-bikes pose. Marin County is proud to be a national leader in youth e-bike safety, and our experience shows how urgently this federal leadership is needed.”

PRESS RELEASE

CONGRESSWOMAN PLASKETT RESPONDS TO ST. JOHN EXTENDED POWER OUTAGE

St. John, USVI — Congresswoman Stacey E. Plaskett (D-VI) today issued the following statement in response to the extended power outage affecting the island of St. John, which has now exceeded 40 hours:

“We want the people of St. John to know we feel the weight of what you are enduring. More than 40 hours without power is not an inconvenience; it is a crisis,” said Congresswoman Plaskett. “I know what it means to be at home when the lights go out: the isolation, the uncertainty, the fear for elderly neighbors and young children, the medications and food spoiling in refrigerators, the businesses that cannot open, the medical equipment that cannot run. This is an urgent crisis, demanding our full attention.”

The Congresswoman extends her deep gratitude to the line crews and technical workers who have been working around the clock since the outage began: “I want to offer my heartfelt thanks to the WAPA lineworkers and technicians who have not stopped working since this outage began. These men and women are out through the night and into the day, doing everything within their power to restore electricity to our fellow Virgin Islanders on St. John. Their dedication and professionalism in the face of a deeply challenging situation deserves to be recognized.”

Reports have emerged suggesting that the outage may have resulted from deliberate tampering with WAPA’s electrical infrastructure.

“If it is determined that someone intentionally tampered and caused the outage, it is my hope that the appropriate authorities will hold those responsible to the fullest extent of the law. An attack on our electrical infrastructure is an attack on our people. It should not go unaddressed.”

The Congresswoman also acknowledged the community support efforts underway in response to the outage. Love City Strong case managers have been actively reaching out to individuals on their high-risk list. The majority of residents Love City Strong has connected with have confirmed contingency plans are in place. Residents who feel they may need additional support are encouraged to self-identify by contacting the Love City Strong office at 340-714-7744 or via email at info@lovecitystrongvi.org, where staff will assess their situation and provide a vulnerability rating. Those identified as high-risk will be proactively contacted during future emergencies.

The Congresswoman also acknowledged ongoing discussions about battery storage and alternative energy solutions for St. John: “I am aware of the battery storage and alternative energy initiatives that have been planned and discussed for St. John. I remain a strong advocate for moving those projects forward with speed and seriousness. Realistically, a battery system would not have been able to carry an entire island through a 40-plus-hour outage of this magnitude, but it would have provided meaningful, critical relief in the earliest hours.

“The United States Virgin Islands deserves a resilient, modern, and reliable electrical grid. Our people deserve energy security. I will continue to fight for our people, and work with every available partner to bring the investment and infrastructure to our territory that our people have long been promised and have always deserved. We will get there. When we do, the strength of our community that we see now, in the way neighbors are looking out for one another across St. John will be the foundation we build upon.”

Today, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries held a press conference, where he emphasized that Donald Trump and House Republicans are spending billions in taxpayer dollars on a war of choice in the Middle East, while doing nothing to make the lives of the American people more affordable. 

LEADER JEFFRIES: This is a very challenging moment for the United States of America as we deal with a President, Donald Trump, and Republicans whose policies have done nothing but damage the quality of life of the American people. It was Republicans who, in their One Big Ugly Bill, enacted the largest cut to Medicaid in American history. Hospitals, nursing homes and community-based health centers are closing throughout America because of Republican policies, and, at the same period of time, these extremists refuse to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, causing health insurance premiums to skyrocket for more than 20 million working class Americans. Republicans have done great damage to the American people, made life more expensive for everyday Americans on healthcare, on gas prices, on housing costs, on child care, on groceries. They’ve made life more expensive for the American people, and it’s affirmatively being done by toxic and extreme Republican policies.

And to make matters worse, at the same period of time, they’ve now gotten us into a reckless war of choice against Iran and are spending billions of dollars to drop bombs in the Middle East, but can’t find a dime to make life more affordable for the American people. There’s a better way. And Democrats are committed to fighting hard to relentlessly focus on driving down the high cost of living, fixing our broken healthcare system, making sure that immigration enforcement in this country is fair, just and humane and at the same time, ensuring that our taxpayer dollars aren’t spent on another endless war in the Middle East, but are spent to lower the high cost of living, to make sure that every single American in this country can live an affordable life, a comfortable life and live the good life.
