New Discharge Petition
This Week

SECTION 1 — DISCHARGE PETITION UPDATE THIS WEEK

The discharge petition tied to the Ukraine Support Act reached the required 218 signatures on May 13, 2026, officially triggering a process that will force the U.S. House of Representatives to hold a floor vote on the legislation in the coming weeks. The milestone was achieved after Rep. Kevin Kiley (I-CA) signed the petition as the 218th supporter.

The bipartisan measure, introduced by Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY), includes:

More than $1 billion in security assistance for Ukraine;
Up to $8 billion in additional loan support;
Expanded sanctions and export controls targeting Russia’s financial, energy, and mining sectors.

The petition was backed by nearly all House Democrats alongside Republican supporters Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) and Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE), with Kiley’s signature ultimately pushing the effort over the threshold.

This marks one of the rare successful discharge petitions in recent Congresses, allowing lawmakers to bypass House leadership and bring legislation directly to the floor despite opposition or inaction from the Speaker. A House vote is expected in early June.

No new Ukraine-related legislation was introduced during the week of May 11–17, 2026. All previously introduced bills listed in Section 2 remain active.
