Prison Staff Safety Enhancement Act

Prison Staff Safety Enhancement Act This bill establishes requirements for the Department of Justice (DOJ) and component agencies to assess and respond to incidents of sexual harassment and sexual assault by incarcerated individuals against Bureau of Prisons (BOP) staff. Specifically, the bill requires DOJ to adopt national standards for the prevention, reduction, and punishment of sexual harassment and sexual assault by incarcerated individuals against correctional officers or other employees of the BOP. Additionally, the bill requires the BOP to fully implement the recommendations of the DOJ Inspector General contained in the report titled Evaluation of the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ Efforts to Address Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault Committed by Inmates Toward Staff .

Kids Online Safety Act

Kids Online Safety Act This bill requires covered online platforms, including social media platforms, to implement tools and safeguards to protect users and visitors under the age of 17. Covered platforms are online platforms, video games, messaging applications, or video streaming services used or likely to be used by individuals under the age of 17, with specified exceptions. The bill generally requires covered platforms to exercise reasonable care in the design and use of features that increase minors’ online activity in order to prevent and mitigate harm to minors (e.g., mental health disorders and severe harassment). Covered platforms are also required to provide certain safeguards to minors, such as protections for minors’ data; tools for parents of minors, such as access to minors’ privacy settings; and a mechanism for account holders and visitors to report harm to minors on the platform. Covered platforms are prohibited from conducting market or product research on children under the age of 13, and may only conduct such research on those under the age of 17 with parental consent. The bill provides for enforcement through the Federal Trade Commission and states. The bill also requires online platforms to meet certain requirements before using algorithms that select, order, or prioritize information presented to users based on user-specific data not provided for that purpose. Specifically, such platforms must (1) provide users with notice of the use of such algorithms, and (2) permit users to switch to an algorithm that does not rely on such user-specific data.

A resolution condemning the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran for its ongoing human rights abuses, including its use of politically motivated espionage claims to justify arbitrary detention and executions.

This resolution expresses Congress's disapproval of Iran's government for committing human rights violations, particularly its practice of making false espionage accusations against people to justify imprisoning and executing them for political reasons. The measure has been sent to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for consideration but has not yet been voted on by the full chamber. It does not create new laws or policies but serves as an official statement of the Senate's position on Iran's treatment of its citizens.

Title IX Clarification Act of 2026

This bill would change how schools that receive federal funding must interpret sex discrimination rules under Title IX, specifying that discrimination protections are based on biological sex rather than gender identity. The change would affect how schools handle issues like sports team eligibility, bathroom access, and other policies involving sex-separated facilities or activities. Schools that don't comply with this interpretation could potentially lose federal education funding.

Daughters of the American Revolution Membership Integrity Act

The bill would update the federal charter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, a historic women's organization, to clarify who is eligible to become a member. The changes would affect how the organization determines membership requirements, which are currently based on descent from people who fought in or supported the American Revolution.

Enhancing K–12 Cybersecurity Act

The federal government would create a new program to help K-12 schools improve their cybersecurity defenses and technology systems, protecting student data and school networks from hackers and cyber attacks. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency would run this program, likely providing schools with resources, training, or funding to upgrade their security measures. This would affect school districts, students, and families by helping ensure that sensitive educational records and school systems are better protected from cyber threats.

A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that Eleanor L. Ross, judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, engaged in conduct that falls beneath the dignity of her office.

The Senate is expressing its official disapproval of federal judge Eleanor L. Ross's conduct, stating that her actions do not meet the standards expected of someone in her position. This resolution is a formal statement of criticism rather than a legal action, and it has been sent to the Judiciary Committee for consideration. The resolution does not remove the judge from office but serves as a public rebuke of her behavior.

Ban Birth Tourism Act of 2026

The proposal would change immigration law to make certain foreign nationals ineligible to enter or stay in the United States if they are suspected of coming primarily to give birth so their children can become U.S. citizens. This would affect pregnant immigrants and potentially their families, as officials could deny them entry or legal status based on their intent to have children in the country.

ONSHORE Manufacturing Act

The proposal would give tax breaks to American companies that manufacture critical medical supplies and drugs domestically instead of importing them from other countries. These tax credits would reduce the amount of federal income taxes that qualifying manufacturers owe, potentially making it cheaper for them to produce medicines and medical equipment in the United States. The goal is to encourage domestic production of essential medical products and reduce reliance on foreign manufacturing.

Export Control Enforcement and Enhancement Act

Export Control Enforcement and Enhancement Act This bill allows for expedited consideration of modifications to the Entity List. (The Entity List is managed by the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security. The list identifies the names of persons who are involved, or have the potential to be involved, in activities contrary to U.S. national security or foreign policy interests.) Specifically, the bill allows any member of the End-User Review Committee to submit proposals directly to the full committee requesting a vote for additions to, removals from, or other modifications with respect to the Entity List. Generally, within 30 days of receiving a proposal, the committee must vote to approve or disapprove the proposal. Generally, the bill establishes a presumption of denial for a license application to export, reexport, or in-country transfer controlled items that involves a foreign person added to the Entity List under the authorities provided by this bill.

Election Security Partnership Act

States that share voter registration data with the Department of Homeland Security would receive federal funding to improve their election security systems, such as upgrading voting machines or cybersecurity measures. The bill aims to incentivize states to cooperate with federal election security efforts by offering financial support for these improvements. Election officials and voters in participating states would benefit from the enhanced security measures funded through this program.

Safe Cloud Storage Act

This bill would require cloud storage companies to help law enforcement access user data when presented with a valid warrant or court order, while establishing standards for how quickly companies must respond to such requests. It aims to balance privacy protections with law enforcement's ability to investigate crimes by clarifying the legal process for obtaining digital evidence stored on servers. The legislation would affect both technology companies that provide cloud services and law enforcement agencies investigating criminal cases.

Federal Carjacking Enforcement Act

Federal Carjacking Enforcement Act This bill lowers the threshold the government must meet to establish that a defendant committed a federal carjacking offense. Under current law, the federal carjacking statute prohibits taking (or attempting to take) a motor vehicle from the presence of another by force and violence or intimidation, with the intent to cause death or serious bodily harm. This bill removes the requirement that a defendant take (or attempt to take) a motor vehicle with the specific intent to cause death or serious bodily harm. Under the bill, the government need only prove that a defendant took (or attempted to take) a motor vehicle knowingly. A violation (or attempted violation) is subject to the same criminal penalties as under current law—a fine, a prison term of up to 15 years, or both. A violation that results in death or serious bodily injury is subject to the same criminal penalties as under current law—a fine, a prison term of up to 25 years, or both—but only if the offense involves certain aggravating circumstances: (1) the motor vehicle is taken with the intent to cause death or serious bodily harm, or (2) a firearm is brandished or discharged during the offense.

Women Veterans Specialty Care Access Act

This bill would expand healthcare services available to women veterans by requiring the Department of Veterans Affairs to improve access to specialty care services tailored to women's health needs. The legislation aims to address gaps in medical services for female veterans, such as reproductive health, gynecological care, and other gender-specific treatments that may be harder to find at VA facilities. Women veterans would benefit from better availability of these specialized services either through VA providers or partnerships with private healthcare networks.

Veterans’ Bill of Rights Act of 2026

This bill would establish a formal set of rights and protections for military veterans, likely covering areas like access to healthcare, disability benefits, education assistance, and fair treatment in the job market. Veterans and their families would gain clearer guarantees about what services and support they can expect from the government, along with procedures to address complaints or denied benefits. The bill aims to ensure that former service members receive consistent, transparent treatment across different federal agencies.

287(g) Expansion Act

The federal government would provide additional grant money to local police departments and sheriff's offices that sign agreements allowing their officers to help enforce federal immigration laws. These extra funds, coming from an existing federal law enforcement grant program, would go to jurisdictions that partner with immigration authorities to identify and process people in the country illegally. The money is intended to support the costs of immigration enforcement activities at the local level.

Supporting Energy and Economic Development (SEED) Act

The bill would extend tax credits and incentives for biodiesel and renewable diesel fuel producers and users, helping to make these cleaner fuel alternatives more affordable and competitive with traditional petroleum diesel. These incentives primarily benefit fuel producers, refineries, and businesses that use or blend renewable diesel into their fuel supply. The measure aims to support the renewable energy industry and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act

The federal government would be prohibited from giving family planning grants to any organization that performs abortions, even if the grant money itself isn't used for abortion services. This would affect clinics and health centers that receive federal funding to provide contraception, cancer screenings, and other reproductive health services, potentially forcing many to choose between accepting government money or offering abortion care. The bill would significantly reshape which organizations can access federal family planning funds.

Safer Prisons Act of 2026

This bill would make it a more serious crime to physically attack a correctional officer who works in federal prisons, likely increasing prison sentences for people convicted of such assaults. The change would give judges the ability to impose harsher punishments on inmates or visitors who harm prison staff members. The bill aims to better protect federal prison workers from violence on the job.

Guard Equal Benefits for Federal Missions Act

This bill would require the federal government to provide equal benefits to military members and federal employees regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. The legislation aims to ensure that same-sex spouses and transgender service members receive the same health insurance, retirement, and other benefits as heterosexual married couples and cisgender employees. The change would affect hundreds of thousands of active-duty military personnel, veterans, and federal workers and their families.

American Innovation Act of 2026

The bill likely aims to encourage business investment and research through tax incentives or credits for companies developing new technologies and innovations. It would probably affect corporations, startups, and research institutions by offering tax breaks or other financial benefits to spur economic growth and competitiveness. The specific details of which industries or activities would qualify for these benefits would be determined as the bill moves through the Finance Committee.

Rural America Health Corps Act

This bill would create a program to recruit and train health care workers to serve in rural communities that struggle to attract doctors and nurses. Participants would receive education support or loan forgiveness in exchange for committing to work in underserved rural areas for a set period. The program aims to address doctor and nurse shortages in rural America by making it more attractive for health professionals to practice in these regions.

Rural Health Innovation Act of 2026

This bill would likely provide funding, grants, or policy changes to help rural hospitals and clinics improve healthcare services in areas where doctors and medical facilities are scarce. It could support things like telemedicine programs, loan forgiveness for doctors who work in rural areas, or money to upgrade rural medical equipment and technology. The changes would mainly affect rural communities, healthcare workers in remote areas, and rural hospitals struggling to stay open.

Promoting United States Leadership in Standards Act of 2025

This bill aims to strengthen America's influence in setting international technology and communications standards by increasing U.S. participation in global standard-setting organizations and supporting American companies and researchers in these efforts. The legislation would help ensure that U.S. interests and values shape the technical rules that govern everything from telecommunications to data security, rather than letting other countries dominate these decisions. It affects technology companies, engineers, government agencies, and ultimately consumers who rely on compatible and secure devices and networks.

RECOVER Act

The RECOVER Act would establish new support and recovery programs for military service members and veterans dealing with long-term health effects from their service. The bill aims to improve access to medical care, mental health services, and rehabilitation resources for affected veterans and their families. It addresses gaps in current veteran benefits by creating dedicated funding and coordinated services for recovery and wellness.

A resolution designating March 12, 2026, as "Detransition Awareness Day".

This resolution would officially recognize March 12, 2026, as "Detransition Awareness Day" at the federal level. The designation aims to raise awareness about people who have reversed gender transition decisions, though it does not create any new laws or programs. The resolution is primarily symbolic and would need to pass both chambers of Congress to take effect.

Federal Loan Systems Modernization Act of 2026

This bill would update the computer systems and technology that the federal government uses to manage loans, making them faster and more efficient for both borrowers and loan administrators. The changes would likely affect federal student loans, small business loans, and other government lending programs by improving how applications are processed and how borrowers track their accounts. The modernization could reduce wait times and errors in the loan system that currently frustrates millions of Americans who depend on federal lending programs.

Migrant Crime Reporting Act of 2026

This bill would require federal law enforcement agencies to collect and publicly report data on crimes committed by immigrants, including both documented and undocumented individuals. The reported statistics would be made available to Congress and the public, potentially affecting how immigration enforcement is prioritized and how communities understand crime patterns among immigrant populations.

Veterans Affairs Opportunity for Small Businesses Act of 2026

This bill would make it easier for small businesses to win contracts and do work with the Department of Veterans Affairs by adjusting rules and requirements that currently favor larger companies. The changes would help small business owners compete for VA projects, potentially leading to more diverse vendors providing services to veterans and the VA system. Veterans and small business owners would likely be the main beneficiaries of increased contracting opportunities.

Restoring Confidence in the World Anti-Doping Agency Act of 2025

Restoring Confidence in the World Anti-Doping Agency Act of 2025 This bill requires the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) to annually evaluate the governance and procedures of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). Specifically, the ONDCP, in consultation with the United States Anti-Doping Agency, the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee, the Athletes' Advisory Council (Team USA AC), must determine whether WADA has a credible and independent governance model that provides for fair representation of the United States; fully implements or has implemented governance reforms to ensure independent governance; and has fair processes and procedures for selecting independent athletes for decision-making roles on the WADA Executive Committee, the WADA Foundation Board, and relevant expert advisory groups, standing committees, permanent special committees, and working groups of WADA. If the ONDCP determines WADA has not met these criteria, the ONDCP must use all available tools and efforts to bring WADA into compliance with them. Further, upon such a determination, the ONDCP may withhold up to the full amount of the United States' membership dues to WADA.

Veterans Hearing Aid Improvement Act of 2026

This bill would improve hearing aid coverage and services for veterans by making it easier for them to access and afford hearing aids through the VA. The changes likely aim to expand eligibility, reduce out-of-pocket costs, or improve the quality and selection of hearing aids available to veterans who have hearing loss from military service or age. Veterans and the Department of Veterans Affairs would be the primary groups affected by these improvements.

Ensuring Access to Medicaid Buy-in Programs Act of 2026

This bill would allow working people with disabilities to keep their Medicaid health coverage even if their earnings increase, rather than losing benefits once they earn too much money. Currently, many disabled workers face a "benefits cliff" where earning slightly more income causes them to lose Medicaid entirely, which discourages them from working; this legislation aims to remove that barrier by letting them buy into the program at a reasonable cost. The change would primarily affect disabled individuals and their employers by making it easier for people with disabilities to maintain employment without fear of losing their health insurance.

Fraud Accountability Act

This bill would likely establish new penalties and enforcement measures to combat fraud in immigration cases, such as false claims made during visa applications or citizenship proceedings. It would affect immigrants applying for legal status, immigration officials processing applications, and potentially immigration attorneys or consultants who commit fraud. The bill aims to hold people accountable for dishonesty in the immigration system and may include stronger criminal penalties or civil fines for those caught committing such fraud.

VACRA

A resolution recognizing community care as an essential tool for meeting the health care needs of the veterans of the United States.

This resolution recognizes the necessity of community care for veterans and affirms that it complements the mission of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The resolution urges the VA to implement the letter and spirit of the VA Mission Act of 2018, which establishes the Veterans Community Care Program, to ensure veterans have timely access to community providers when the VA cannot meet their needs. Further, the resolution reaffirms the commitment of the Senate to timely, quality, affordable, veteran-centered care.

HUSTLE Act

The HUSTLE Act would change how the federal government taxes income from side jobs and freelance work, likely aiming to reduce the tax burden on people who earn money outside of traditional employment. This would affect millions of Americans who drive for rideshare services, sell items online, do gig work, or have other sources of self-employment income. The bill is currently under review by the Senate Finance Committee.

A resolution recognizing the success of the Memphis Safe Task Force.

Violent Juvenile Offender Accountability Act of 2025

This bill would likely establish stricter accountability measures and potentially harsher penalties for juveniles convicted of violent crimes, affecting how the criminal justice system treats young offenders. It may include provisions that make it easier to try certain violent juvenile offenders as adults or increase sentences for serious crimes committed by minors. The changes would impact juvenile defendants, their families, crime victims, and the juvenile justice system overall.

TRAFFIC Act of 2025

A resolution designating October 2025 as "National Country Music Month".

A resolution designating October 30, 2025, as a national day of remembrance for the workers of the nuclear weapons program of the United States.

A bill to release a Federal reversionary interest and convey mineral interests in Chester County, Tennessee, and for other purposes.

This bill provides for the transfer of the Forest Service's interest in the approximately 0.62-acre parcel of land within the Chickasaw State Forest to the state of Tennessee in order to resolve the encroachment of Bethel Baptist Church on that parcel. Both the parcel and the church are located in Chester County, Tennessee. On August 12, 1955, the Forest Service conveyed the parcel to the state but retained a reversionary interest in the land that takes effect if the state forest land ceases to be used for public purposes. The bill directs the Forest Service to release the reversionary interest to the state. Additionally, the Forest Service must convey to the state its mineral interest in the parcel. The conveyance must be done by quitclaim deed and without warranty or consideration (such as payment). As a condition of the release and the conveyance, the state must pay for any administrative costs incurred by the Forest Service in carrying out the release and conveyance. The Forest Service must release the reversionary interest and convey the parcel without undertaking any appraisal, environmental review, or other report.

Health Care Workforce Real-Time Data Dashboard Act

Combating Trafficking in Transportation Act

Combating Trafficking in Transportation Act This bill expands the Department of Transportation (DOT) Advisory Committee on Human Trafficking. Specifically, the bill expands the membership for the committee to not more than 16 external stakeholder members (from 15) and requires the committee to include a representative from state departments of transportation. Current membership on the committee must include representatives from trafficking advocacy organizations; law enforcement; and trucking, bus, rail, aviation, maritime, and port sectors.

Undersea Cable Protection Act of 2025

Undersea Cable Protection Act of 2025 This bill prohibits the Department of Commerce from enforcing certain permit requirements for activities related to undersea fiber optic cables in national marine sanctuaries. Specifically, Commerce may not prohibit or require an authorization for any covered activities related to undersea fiber optic cables if a license, lease, or permit has been issued by a state or federal agency to authorize the covered activity. Covered activities are the installation, continued presence, operation, maintenance, repair, or recovery of undersea fiber optic cables in a national marine sanctuary. The bill also authorizes Commerce to direct the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to engage in interagency cooperation regarding federal agency actions that are likely to destroy, cause the loss of, or injure a resource in a national marine sanctuary and involve covered activities.

Chloe Cole Act

I don't have access to the specific details of what the Chloe Cole Act would do, as the bill's text and provisions aren't provided in your request. To write an accurate summary explaining what the bill would actually accomplish, I would need information about its specific provisions, such as what health policies it addresses, who it affects, and what changes it would make. Could you provide the bill's text or key provisions so I can create an accurate summary?

Stop Greenlighting Driver Licenses for Illegal Immigrants Act of 2025

Kidney Care Access Protection Act

This bill would protect patients' access to kidney care services and treatments, likely by preventing insurance companies or healthcare providers from unfairly restricting coverage or limiting where patients can receive dialysis and other kidney disease treatments. The legislation would affect people with kidney disease, dialysis patients, and the healthcare providers and facilities that treat them. The bill aims to ensure that patients can continue receiving the kidney care they need without facing unexpected coverage denials or forced changes in their treatment providers.

Keep Violent Criminals Off Our Streets Act

Keep Violent Criminals Off Our Streets Act This bill prohibits the receipt of funds under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program by a state or local government that has in effect a law or policy that substantially limits cash bail for individuals who are charged with certain criminal offenses that pose a clear threat to public safety and order. Under the bill, the criminal offenses that pose a threat to public safety and order include criminal offenses involving a violent or sexual act (e.g., burglary, murder, or rape) and offenses that promote public disorder (e.g., looting or vandalism).

MAIN Event Ticketing Act

This bill would regulate how event tickets are sold online by requiring ticket sellers to disclose all fees upfront before customers complete their purchase, preventing surprise charges at checkout. It would also limit the use of automated bots that buy up large quantities of tickets, making it easier for regular people to get tickets to concerts, sports games, and other events at face value. The rules would apply to ticket resellers and primary ticket vendors, affecting both the companies that sell tickets and the consumers who buy them.

National Education Association Charter Repeal Act

Restoring the Armed Career Criminal Act

Restoring the Armed Career Criminal Act This bill expands the criminal offenses that qualify as prior convictions for the purpose of enhanced sentencing under the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA). Currently, the ACCA imposes a 15-year mandatory minimum prison term on a defendant who possesses, receives, or transports a firearm as a prohibited person (e.g., felon) and has three or more prior convictions for a serious drug offense or violent felony (or both) committed on separate occasions. The term serious drug offense means a federal or state offense with a statutory maximum prison term of 10 years or more. A state offense must involve the manufacture, distribution, or possession of a controlled substance as defined in the Controlled Substances Act. The term violent felony means any crime punishable by a prison term of more than one year that (1) has as an element the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force; or (2) is burglary, arson, or extortion, or involves explosives. This bill replaces serious drug offense and violent felony with a new category of qualifying prior offense: serious felony convictions. The term serious felony conviction means (1) any conviction that, at the time of sentencing, was a felony offense punishable by a statutory maximum prison term of 10 years or more; or (2) any group of convictions imposed in the same proceeding or in consolidated proceedings with a total prison term of 10 years of more, regardless of how many years the defendant served.

Open App Markets Act

Rapid Expulsion of Migrant Offenders who Violate and Evade (REMOVE) Act

Protecting Law Enforcement from Doxxing Act

The proposal would make it illegal to publicly share personal information about police officers and other law enforcement members with the intent to harass, threaten, or endanger them. This would protect officers and their families from having their home addresses, phone numbers, or other identifying details posted online by people seeking to intimidate or harm them. The law would apply to anyone who deliberately doxxes law enforcement personnel, with potential criminal penalties for violations.

Leadership in CET Act

Leadership in Critical and Emerging Technologies Act or the Leadership in CET Act This bill directs the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to establish and carry out a pilot program to expedite the patent examination process for patents involving critical or emerging technologies (i.e., artificial intelligence, semiconductor design, or quantum information science). The USPTO must report to Congress on the impact and effectiveness of the pilot program.

Veterans Health Care Freedom Act

Veterans Health Care Freedom Act This bill requires the Center for Innovation for Care and Payment within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to implement a three-year pilot program to provide veterans who are enrolled in the VA health care system with the ability to choose health care providers through the covered care system. Under the bill, the covered care system includes VA medical facilities, health care providers participating in the Veterans Community Care Program (VCCP), and eligible entities or providers that have entered into a Veterans Care Agreement. A veteran participating in the program may elect to receive care at any provider in the covered care system. The pilot program removes certain requirements (e.g., location of the veteran) to access care at VA and non-VA facilities. After four years, the bill permanently phases out the requirements for accessing care under the VCCP and Veterans Care Agreements and requires the VA to provide such care under the same conditions of the pilot program. Additionally, after four years, veterans may receive care at a VA medical facility regardless of whether the facility is in the same Veterans Integrated Service Network as the veteran.

Ban Birth Tourism Act

American Music Tourism Act of 2025

American Music Tourism Act of 2025 This bill directs the National Travel and Tourism Office (NTTO) of the Department of Commerce to promote tourism to music-related and sports attractions.

The bill also expands NTTO's current mandate to facilitate sports and recreation events and activities to include the promotion of international travel and tourism to such activities in the United States. NTTO must report its activities and findings to Congress within one year after the bill's enactment and, thereafter, every two years.

Countering Chinese Espionage Reporting Act

Quantum LEAP Act of 2025

This bill would establish federal funding and coordination programs to advance quantum computing technology and research in the United States, helping American companies and universities compete with other countries in developing this powerful new computing capability.

The legislation has been sent to the Senate Commerce Committee for review.

Sister City Transparency Act

The legislation would require U.S. cities and states to disclose their agreements with foreign cities and regions, including details about funding, activities, and any potential conflicts of interest. Local governments and their officials would need to report these "sister city" partnerships to the federal government so there's transparency about international relationships at the community level. The measure aims to ensure Americans know what commitments their cities are making abroad and prevent undisclosed foreign influence.

A resolution condemning the recent acts of violence, arson, and domestic terrorism committed throughout the United States

NCAA Accountability Act of 2025

NCAA Accountability Act of 2025 This bill establishes due process and notice requirements for the investigations carried out by certain intercollegiate athletic associations and related organizations. Specifically, the requirements apply to interstate athletic associations, conferences, or other organizations with authority over intercollegiate athletics or that administer intercollegiate athletics and that have at least 900 member institutions.

The Department of Justice must establish procedures for (1) individuals and entities to file complaints, (2) the investigation of complaints that have a substantial probability of validity, and (3) the investigation of other violations of this bill.

Patients Before Middlemen Act

This bill would reduce the power of pharmacy benefit managers—the middlemen companies that insurance plans use to manage prescription drug costs—by giving patients and pharmacies more direct control over drug pricing and access. The changes would likely make it easier for patients to afford medications and allow pharmacies to negotiate better rates rather than accepting whatever prices the middlemen demand. The bill affects anyone with prescription drug insurance coverage, as well as pharmacies and drug manufacturers.

No Immigration Benefits for Hamas Terrorists Act

Taiwan Travel and Tourism Coordination Act

This bill would establish a formal coordination system between U.S. government agencies to promote travel and tourism between the United States and Taiwan, likely including efforts to streamline visa processes and encourage cultural and business exchanges. The legislation would affect travelers, tourism businesses, and airlines operating between the two regions by potentially making it easier and more convenient to visit Taiwan. It reflects an effort to strengthen people-to-people connections and economic ties with Taiwan through increased tourism activity.

GRACIE Act of 2025

Supporting the Abused by Learning Options to Navigate Survivor Stories Act

Protecting Our Supreme Court Justices Act of 2025

RETIREES FIRST Act

Federal Freeze Act

Federal Freeze Act This bill bars pay raises for federal employees for one year and requires reductions in the number of employees at each federal agency. The bill prohibits agencies from increasing the basic pay of any employee for one year after enactment. Also in that first year, the bill prohibits each federal agency from increasing the number of its employees beyond the number employed on the date of the bill's enactment, except that the agency may increase such number (1) when making appointments to positions related to law enforcement, public safety, or national security; or (2) if the individual so appointed is essential to emergency response under the Stafford Act. (The Stafford Act authorizes the President to issue declarations that provide states, tribes, and localities with a range of federal assistance in response to natural disasters and man-made incidents). Additionally, the bill requires reductions in force such that within three years of the bill's enactment the number of employees at each agency is 5% lower than it was on the date of the bill's enactment. Employees that serve the interest of law enforcement, public safety, or national security or are essential to emergency response under the Stafford Act are not counted for the purposes of determining the number of employees at each agency.

American Music Fairness Act

American Music Fairness Act This bill establishes that the copyright holder of a sound recording shall have the exclusive right to perform the sound recording through an audio transmission. (Currently, the public performance right only covers performances through a digital audio transmission in certain instances, which means that nonsubscription terrestrial radio stations generally do not have to get a license to publicly perform a copyright-protected sound recording.) Under the bill, a nonsubscription broadcast transmission must have a license to publicly perform such sound recordings. The Copyright Royalty Board must periodically determine the royalty rates for such a license. When determining the rates, the board must base its decision on certain information presented by the parties, including the radio stations' effect on other streams of revenue related to the sound recordings. Terrestrial broadcast stations (and the owners of such stations) that fall below certain revenue thresholds may pay certain flat fees, instead of the board-established rate, for a license to publicly perform copyright-protected sound recordings.

Access to Pediatric Technologies Act of 2025

Access to Pediatric Technologies Act of 2025 This bill requires the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to establish, upon request, specific payment methodologies for qualifying pediatric technologies under the Medicare physician fee schedule. Qualifying pediatric technologies are medical devices that are (1) covered under Medicare, (2) approved by the Food and Drug Administration, (3) currently billed using a specified temporary billing code for emerging technologies, and (4) predominantly used or specifically designated for pediatric patients. The CMS must develop a payment methodology for a qualifying pediatric technology upon request from the manufacturer and based on available data, including pricing information and claims data. Manufacturers must include relevant information in their requests to enable the CMS to develop the corresponding methodologies.

Sustainable Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Services in the Home Act

Choices for Increased Mobility Act of 2025

Choices for Increased Mobility Act of 2025 This bill requires the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to establish specific billing codes under Medicare for certain materials used in ultralightweight manual wheelchairs. Specifically, the CMS must establish at least two billing codes for the base of the wheelchair, with at least one code for a base with titanium or carbon fiber construction material and at least one code for a base without these materials. Suppliers receive the same payment under Medicare for these wheelchairs as would otherwise apply, but may bill beneficiaries for any difference between the payment and the actual charge for the wheelchair.
