“Electronic payment methods (cards, checks, EFFs, etc.) are excluded, ensuring that electronic payments continue to be charged the exact purchase amount. America's Credit Unions views this as a practical solution that can reduce disruptions caused by coin shortages, lower cash-handling costs for businesses, and simplify transactions for consumers without eliminating the use of cash. The legislation also provides clarity regarding the treatment of federal, state, and Tribal law. H.R. 3074 is designed to establish a consistent federal standard for cash rounding while recognizing the authority of states and Tribal governments in areas not expressly addressed by the Act.”
“We advocate for policies that allow the industry to effectively meet the needs of their over 146 million members nationwide. With penny production ending, inventories at Federal Reserve distribution sites are shrinking without a national rounding standard, creating uncertainty and operational challenges for credit unions and other financial institutions. H.R. 3074 also addresses the practical challenges associated with the nation's coin supply by establishing a national framework for cash transaction rounding. The bill permits retailers to round transactions ending in 1, 2, 6, or 7 cents down, and those ending in 3, 4, 8, or 9 cents up, to the nearest five cents. Employers who choose to round cash wages must round up, though nothing requires them to round at all.”
“Speaker, I include in the Record letters of support from local industry leaders who also support this commonsense piece of legislation. America's Credit Unions, Washington, DC, July 13, 2026. Re Credit Union Support for H.R. 3074, the Common Cents Act. Hon. Mike Johnson, Speaker, House of Representatives, Washington, DC. Hon. Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Leader, House of Representatives, Washington, DC. Dear Speaker Johnson and Leader Jeffries: On behalf of America's Credit Unions, I am writing to you to share our support for the updated bipartisan compromise language found in H.R. 3074, the Common Cents Act, and its efforts to address the phaseout of penny production and the emerging challenges surrounding penny circulation. America's Credit Unions is the voice of consumers' best option for financial services: credit unions.”
“The Common Cents Act fixes it. It directs the Treasury to stop minting the penny for general circulation, and quite frankly, that is it. It does not take away a single penny that somebody already owns. Every penny in your pocket, every penny in your piggy bank, and every penny in that jar on your counter stays as legal tender if it is unused. This is not a radical idea. President Trump called for it. It is his commonsense idea, and it should become law. I introduced this bill with Congressman Robert Garcia, and it cleared the Committee on Financial Services with strong bipartisan support. Republicans and Democrats don't agree on much in this town, but we do agree on this: We shouldn't be wasting $85 million a year to keep minting pennies. [[Page H4435]] Not only do we agree, but, Mr.”
“Mr. Speaker, I thank Chairman Hill for his help on this. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 3074, the Common Cents Act. This is a straightforward bill that accomplishes one commonsense goal. It stops the Federal Government from losing money on a coin that almost no one uses. Here is the problem: Every penny we mint costs the taxpayers nearly 4 cents. Think about that. We are spending 4 cents to make 1 cent. Last year alone, that absurd math cost the American taxpayers more than $85 million. I think we can be a better steward of the taxpayers' money than that. As a businesswoman, I can assure you that no businessowner in my district or myself would ever spend four times as much to make $1. Yet, that is exactly how Washington has managed the penny year after year. Quite frankly, that does not make sense.”

“We are keeping our promises to the American people to restore common sense, roll back burdensome regulations, and lower prices.”
“Joyce) would reverse a waiver granted by the Biden EPA that allows States to ban the sale of gas- powered vehicles. This EPA rule has legitimate constitutional questions and would increase costs for Americans and manufacturers. Americans deserve to choose the car of their choice. In fact, Biden used liberal California to force a one-size-fits-all solution nationwide. One State should never dictate national policy because I can assure my colleagues that what works in California sure doesn't work for the people of my great State of Michigan. In fact, this policy only hurts Michigan auto manufacturing jobs, threatening to kill 37,000 jobs in my State of Michigan. I am not for that. This is yet another example of House Republicans righting the wrongs and failings of the previous administration.”
“Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.J. Res. 88, but I will clarify one thing for my colleague on the other side of the aisle and add a little bit more color or correct the truth with the other half of the truth. That is, yes, Trump is trying to claw back some money for the infrastructure of building these charging stations. Why is that? It is because the Biden administration gave them approximately $1 billion to build charging stations. Let's see. I think they built less than 10. I don't know about other Members, but I don't think that is a real good use of taxpayer money, so I am in support of clawing some of that money back. I thank President Trump. Mr. Speaker, moving on to the resolution, this resolution offered by my good friend from Pennsylvania (Mr.”

“He and his wife, Cindy, have shared 38 years of marriage, raising triplets--one son and two daughters--who are now 33 years old.

His contributions to the United States Air Force and his continued efforts to support veterans in need reflect the very best of our Nation's values. His legacy of service is an inspiration to all who know him. Mr. Speaker, let us express our deepest gratitude to Robert Longo for his military service and his unwavering dedication to his fellow veterans.”
“After completing his military service in April 1972, Longo continued his lifelong commitment to helping others, particularly his fellow veterans. For the past six years, he has served as a chaplain, providing spiritual guidance and emotional support to those who have sacrificed for our nation.

Longo's expertise took him through advanced training at Edwards Air Force Base and flight school in Washington, D.C., further strengthening his contributions to the Air Force's mission.”
