What was being voted on

119-HR-5334 — Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026

This bill aims to crack down on the Russian Federation through heavy economic sanctions, investment bans, and increased import duties. It also targets foreign countries and financial institutions that help Russia bypass these sanctions or buy its oil and natural gas. Additionally, the legislation extends the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996 through the year 2031. Finally, it expands a tax deduction for out-of-pocket expenses to include early-childhood educators alongside K-12 teachers.

The Senate recorded this as
On the Motion to Proceed H.R. 5334
A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow early childhood educators to take the educator expense deduction, and for other purposes.
