Protecting Domestic Mining Act of 2025
Protecting Domestic Mining Act of 2025 This bill provides statutory authority for federal agencies to expedite the environmental review of certain mining infrastructure projects. Specifically, the bill permanently makes certain mining infrastructure projects eligible for expedited environmental review under the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act). This provides statutory authority for similar authorities that were included in the rule titled Adding Mining as a Sector of Projects Eligible for Coverage Under Title 41 of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act and issued by the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council (Permitting Council) on January 8, 2021. The bill also prohibits the Permitting Council from finalizing its proposed rule titled Revising Scope of the Mining Sector of Projects That Are Eligible for Coverage Under Title 41 of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act and issued on September 22, 2023. Among other modifications, the rule proposes to limit the types of mining projects that are eligible for the expedited environmental review process. Specifically, the proposed rule limits the expedited process to critical minerals mining projects.
Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Act
This bill would authorize the transfer of historical artifacts and documents related to President Theodore Roosevelt from federal collections to a new presidential library and museum dedicated to his life and legacy. The legislation aims to help establish or support a museum facility that would preserve and display items connected to Roosevelt's presidency and personal history for public education and research. The bill affects federal agencies that currently hold these materials and institutions involved in creating the Roosevelt presidential library.
Enhancing Geothermal Production on Federal Lands Act
This bill would make it easier for companies to develop geothermal energy projects on federal lands by streamlining the permitting process and potentially offering more favorable lease terms. The changes would aim to increase renewable energy production from geothermal sources while generating revenue for the federal government and creating jobs in energy development. The bill affects energy companies, federal land managers, and communities interested in expanding clean energy alternatives.
National Wildlife Refuge System Invasive Species Strike Team Act of 2025
This bill would create a specialized team within the National Wildlife Refuge System to identify and remove invasive species—plants and animals that don't naturally belong in these protected areas and damage local ecosystems. The strike team would work to restore habitats and protect native wildlife by actively managing invasive species across the refuge system. This would affect refuge managers, conservation workers, and the many communities that depend on healthy wildlife populations and natural areas.
Stronger Engagement for Indian Health Needs Act of 2025
Stronger Engagement for Indian Health Needs Act of 2025 This bill elevates the current position of the Director of the Indian Health Service within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to Assistant Secretary for Indian Health within HHS.
Rural Jobs and Hydropower Expansion Act
This bill would likely expand hydropower development on federal lands and waterways in rural areas, potentially allowing more dams or water power projects to be built or modified. The legislation aims to create jobs in rural communities through construction and operation of these hydroelectric facilities while increasing renewable energy production. Rural landowners, construction workers, and energy companies would be the primary beneficiaries, though environmental groups may have concerns about impacts on rivers and wildlife.
Safe Beaches, Safe Swimmers Act
The proposal would establish new safety standards and monitoring requirements for public beaches to protect swimmers from hazards like dangerous water conditions, pollution, and harmful bacteria. It would require regular testing and public notification of water quality issues, giving beachgoers the information they need to make safe decisions about swimming. The bill affects coastal communities, beach visitors, and local governments responsible for beach management and public health.
Indian Health Service Emergency Claims Parity Act
Indian Health Service Emergency Claims Parity Act This bill extends from 72 hours to not less than 15 days the time period to notify the Purchased/Referred Care (PRC) program of emergency medical care received from a non-Indian Health Service (IHS) medical provider or at a non-IHS medical facility. This bill does not apply to individuals who are elderly or disabled, who continue to have a 30-day notification requirement for emergency services. The IHS provides medical and dental services directly to American Indian and Alaska Native patients whenever possible. The PRC program pays for medical or dental care that is provided away from an IHS or tribal health care facility. The PRC program must be notified of requests for authorization of payment for health care services from a non-IHS provider. Currently in emergency cases, the patient, an individual on behalf of the patient, or the medical care provider must, within 72 hours after the beginning of treatment for the condition or after admission to a health care facility, notify a PRC authorizing official of the need for the emergency medical care. This bill instead allows the patient, other individual, or provider to notify PRC not less than 15 days of the treatment or admission.
Archie Cavanaugh Migratory Bird Treaty Clarification Act
Archie Cavanaugh Migratory Bird Treaty Amendment Act This bill states that nothing in the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 (MBTA) prohibits possessing, selling, bartering, purchasing, shipping, or transporting any authentic Alaska Native handicraft, clothing, or art on the basis that it contains a nonedible migratory bird part, so long as the bird was not taken in a wasteful or illegal manner. (The MBTA implements four international treaties that the United States entered into with Canada, Mexico, Japan, and Russia. The MBTA prohibits the taking of protected migratory bird species without prior authorization.) The bill directs the Department of State to work with the Department of the Interior to enter into appropriate bilateral procedures with countries that are parties to the treaties under the MBTA to clarify the treatment of Alaska Native handicraft containing nonedible migratory bird parts from the species of migratory birds listed in those treaties. Further, Interior must modify any regulations implementing the MBTA to implement this bill.
To provide for the transfer of administrative jurisdiction over certain Federal land in the State of California, and for other purposes.
This bill exchanges administrative jurisdiction over specified parcels of federal land between Yosemite National Park and Stanislaus National Forest in California. By way of background, cattle are grazing on the land currently managed by the National Park Service. However, grazing on federal lands primarily occurs on lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management or the Forest Service. The transfer would allow the land with cattle grazing to be managed by the Forest Service, which has a multiple-use management plan that is consistent with grazing.
To redesignate the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center in Casper, Wyoming, as the "Barbara L. Cubin National Historic Trails Interpretive Center".
This bill renames the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center located in Casper, Wyoming, as the Barbara L. Cubin National Historic Trails Interpretive Center.
Crow Tribe Water Rights Settlement Amendments Act of 2025
Crow Tribe Water Rights Settlement Amendments Act of 2025 This bill revises the water rights settlement agreement entered into by the Crow Tribe of Montana and Montana. The Crow Tribe Water Rights Settlement Act of 2010 ratified, authorized, and confirmed the water rights compact between the tribe and Montana. Among other provisions, this settlement act authorized the Bureau of Reclamation to plan, design and construct the following two major projects on the Crow Reservation: (1) the rehabilitation and improvement of the Crow Irrigation Project (CIP); and (2) the planning, design, and construction of the MR&I System (the municipal, rural, and industrial water system of the Crow Reservation). Among other provisions, the bill revises the settlement act to replace references to the MR&I System with MR&I Projects ; establish a nontrust, interest-bearing account (to be known as the Crow CIP Implementation Account) to allow Reclamation to continue to work on the rehabilitation of the CIP; create a new MR&I Projects Account, through which the tribe must use funds for activities related to water production, treatment, or delivery infrastructure; and extend by five years (to 2030) the period during which the tribe has the exclusive right to construct hydropower facilities on the Yellowtail Afterbay Dam in Montana.
To designate the Christiansted Bandstand at the Christiansted National Historic Site, St. Croix, Virgin Islands, as the "Peter G. Thurland, Sr., Bandstand".
This bill would officially rename the Christiansted Bandstand at a historic site in St. Croix, Virgin Islands, to honor Peter G. Thurland, Sr. The change is purely ceremonial and affects the name of a public structure at a national historic site, recognizing Thurland's contributions to the community.
Renewing the African American Civil Rights Network Act
The proposal would continue funding and operations for the African American Civil Rights Network, which works to preserve and share the history of the civil rights movement through education and historical sites. This network helps Americans learn about important events and figures in African American history and civil rights struggles. The extension would keep this program running beyond its current expiration date.
