FISH Act of 2025

The FISH Act would likely establish or modify protections and management practices for fish populations and aquatic habitats on public lands and waters. The bill probably affects fishermen, conservation groups, and federal agencies responsible for managing natural resources by setting new rules around fishing access, habitat restoration, or species protection. Subcommittees are currently holding hearings to examine the bill's details before deciding whether to move it forward.

District of Columbia Firearm Freedom Act

This bill would loosen Washington D.C.'s gun laws by allowing residents and visitors to carry concealed firearms without a permit, removing restrictions on certain types of firearms, and making it easier to buy guns from dealers in nearby states. The changes would apply to D.C. residents and U.S. citizens visiting the district, and would eliminate what the bill describes as unnecessary barriers to gun ownership and carrying. The proposal is currently under review by congressional committees.

No Vigilante Checkpoints and Civil Rights Protection Act of 2026

This bill would prohibit private citizens and non-law enforcement groups from setting up checkpoints to stop and question people on public roads, aiming to prevent vigilante-style enforcement activities that could violate people's rights. The law would protect individuals from being detained or searched by unauthorized private groups while traveling, reserving those powers for official police and government agencies. It affects anyone who might be stopped at roadside checkpoints and aims to prevent potential civil rights violations from civilian enforcement efforts.

Stop Gender Trafficking of Minors Act

This bill would strengthen federal laws to combat the trafficking and sexual exploitation of minors, likely by increasing penalties for offenders, improving law enforcement tools to identify and prosecute traffickers, and potentially requiring better coordination between agencies that handle these crimes. The legislation would affect law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, and anyone involved in trafficking minors, while aiming to protect children from exploitation and abuse.

PROTECT the Grid Act

The bill aims to strengthen the security and resilience of the nation's electrical grid against physical attacks, cyberattacks, and other threats that could cause widespread power outages. It likely includes measures to improve coordination between government agencies and power companies, upgrade infrastructure protections, and establish standards for preventing disruptions to electricity service that millions of Americans depend on daily. The proposal affects energy companies, government agencies, and ultimately all consumers who rely on stable power supply.

Do No Harm in Medicaid Act

Do No Harm in Medicaid Act This bill prohibits federal Medicaid payment for specified gender transition procedures for individuals under the age of 18. The bill defines these procedures to mean those that are intended to change the body of an individual to no longer correspond to the individual's biological sex (male or female), including specified surgeries, implants, and medications (e.g., hormones). The bill excludes procedures that are provided to an individual under the age of 18 with the consent of a parent or legal guardian and that are intended to (1) rectify early puberty, genetic disorders, or chromosomal abnormalities; (2) reverse prior gender transition procedures; or (3) prevent imminent death or impairment of a major bodily function.

Recycling Technology Innovation Act

This bill would likely provide funding and support for developing new technologies and methods to improve recycling processes and reduce waste. It would probably help companies and researchers create better ways to sort, process, and reuse materials like plastics, metals, and paper, making recycling more efficient and cost-effective. The changes would affect manufacturers, recycling facilities, and consumers by potentially making recycling easier and more widely available.

Returning Illegals over Turmoil Act

Returning Illegals over Turmoil Act This bill establishes grounds for removal from, and future inadmissibility to, the United States for non-U.S. nationals ( aliens under federal law) who incite violence, participate in a riot or civil disturbance, or commit certain other acts while in the United States. Specifically, if, at the time of the offense, an individual is unlawfully present in the United States, a recipient of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status, or a lawful permanent resident, that individual is deportable and permanently inadmissible to the United States. This applies to such individuals convicted of, or who have admitted to having committed acts that constitute incitement to violence or physical participation in a riot or civil disturbance under federal, state, or local law; an actual or attempted assault, battery, or use of force against a law enforcement officer or a member of the Armed Forces of the United States; or the willful destruction, defacement, or vandalism of property owned or operated by a federal, state, or local government. The Department of Homeland Security may designate such offenses as grounds for expedited removal during specified types of declared emergencies. The bill also requires the detention of these individuals.

Public Safety Officer Concussion and Traumatic Brain Injury Health Act of 2025

Police officers, firefighters, and other public safety workers would gain access to improved medical screening, treatment, and long-term health monitoring for concussions and traumatic brain injuries sustained on the job. The legislation would establish standards for how these injuries are diagnosed and tracked, and would ensure affected workers receive appropriate care and support for both immediate and lasting effects. This would help protect the health of first responders who face repeated risks of head injuries during their careers.

State Border Security Reimbursement Act of 2025

State Border Security Reimbursement Act of 2025 This bill requires the federal government to reimburse eligible states for their border security expenses. To be eligible, a state must have expended more than $2.5 billion on border security and enforcement in the 10 years before this bill's enactment. If such a state provides by a certain deadline an accounting of all of its nonfederally funded border security expenses, the federal government must reimburse the full amount.

To acknowledge the courage and sacrifice of veterans of the Vietnam war and formally apologize for the treatment they received upon returning home.

This joint resolution recognizes the sacrifice of veterans of the Vietnam War and commends them for their sacrifice to the United States. The joint resolution also urges the President to formally acknowledge the widespread mistreatment of such veterans as part of the ongoing Vietnam War Commemoration and issue a formal apology to the veterans and their families. Additionally, the joint resolution expresses urgent support for increased education to better reflect the sacrifice and treatment of Vietnam veterans.

The HCT/P Modernization Act of 2025

The HCT/P Modernization Act of 2025 This bill requires the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to provide information to stakeholders and report on the regulation of human cell and tissue products, also referred to as human cells, tissues, or cellular or tissue-based products (HCT/Ps), which are articles containing or consisting of human cells or tissues that are intended for use in a human recipient. The bill requires the FDA to conduct workshops to educate stakeholders and facilitate discussion with them on advancing the science and regulation of human cell and tissue products. The FDA must establish a public docket to receive written comments on this topic, and submit to Congress a report with recommendations on regulating these products. Additionally, the bill requires the FDA to publish on its website educational materials about the Tissue Reference Group and best practices for obtaining a recommendation about products from them. Also, annually for three years, the FDA must publish on its website information on the inquiries submitted and average response times for the Tissue Reference Group, as well as the number of human cell and tissue manufacturers that have registered with the FDA and the number of inspections the FDA has conducted with respect to these manufacturers since 2019. (The Tissue Reference Group is a working group within the FDA that receives product-specific questions from, and provides recommendations for, stakeholders on the regulation of human cell and tissue products under the FDA’s rules.)
