The "No Paydays for Hostage-Takers Act" wants to stop bad people in Iran from making money by keeping American hostages. It asks the President to check on Iran's money used for good things, like helping people, and stop anyone involved in taking hostages from traveling or doing business.

H.R. 5826 is a bill that tries to stop countries like Iran from taking people hostage by checking and reporting on how certain money is used and encouraging punishment for bad behavior; it also wants to make traveling safer for Americans by keeping an eye on who visits or leaves the U.S. for certain activities.

H.R. 10168 is about making sure the U.S. government pays close attention to Americans who are in trouble in other countries and tells Congress what's happening every 6 months. If someone is stuck unfairly, their families should be told, but sometimes this might take longer if there's a safety worry.
