It has been referred to committees that handle financial services and spending to determine which parts each committee should review.

Pay Our Homeland Defenders Act

Pay Our Homeland Defenders Act This bill provides appropriations to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for the remainder of FY2026. It also ends the partial DHS shutdown that began on February 14, 2026, because the continuing resolution (CR) that was funding DHS expired and a regular FY2026 DHS appropriations bill had not been enacted. Specifically, the bill provides appropriations to DHS for Departmental Management, Intelligence, Situational Awareness, and Oversight, including the Office of the Secretary and Executive Management; the Management Directorate; Intelligence, Analysis, and Situational Awareness; and the Office of Inspector General. In addition, the bill provides appropriations for Security, Enforcement, and Investigations, including U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Transportation Security Administration, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the U.S. Secret Service.

The program helps farmers, cities, environmental groups, and government agencies collaborate on projects like stream restoration, flood prevention, and water conservation. By reauthorizing this program, Congress would ensure these cooperative efforts can continue receiving federal grants and technical assistance.

Chiricahua National Park Act

Chiricahua National Park Act This bill redesignates the Chiricahua National Monument in Arizona as the Chiricahua National Park. The bill directs the National Park Service (NPS) to (1) ensure the protection of traditional cultural and religious sites in the park, and (2) provide access to those sites by members of Indian tribes for traditional cultural and customary uses. Upon the request of an Indian tribe, the NPS may temporarily close to general public use one or more specific areas of the park to protect traditional cultural and customary uses in the area by members of the tribe. The closure must be limited to the smallest practicable area for the minimum period necessary for the traditional cultural and religious activities.

Critical Mineral Consistency Act of 2025

Critical Mineral Consistency Act of 2025 This bill modifies the Energy Act of 2020 to expand the definition of critical minerals to include critical materials designated by the Department of Energy (DOE). Under current law, DOE's critical materials list contains certain materials that are essential for energy, including those on the critical minerals list of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The USGS's list, which contains certain minerals that are essential to the nation's economic or national security, is not required to include the materials on DOE's list. Currently, both lists include minerals with a high risk of supply chain disruptions, and both DOE and USGS must conduct a variety of efforts to ensure a secure and reliable supply chain of the minerals. By expanding the definition of critical minerals , this bill requires the USGS to include on its list the materials on DOE's list. Within 45 days of DOE adding a mineral, element, substance, or material to its critical materials list, the USGS must update its list to include such mineral, element, substance, or material.

Shadow Wolves Improvement Act

The legislation would enhance the capabilities and resources of the Shadow Wolves, a specialized unit within U.S. Customs and Border Protection that operates on tribal lands to detect and intercept drug smuggling and illegal border crossings. The bill aims to improve equipment, training, and staffing for this unit so it can more effectively patrol remote border areas, particularly on Native American reservations where smuggling operations often occur. This would primarily affect border security personnel, tribal communities, and law enforcement agencies working to combat illegal drug trafficking and unauthorized immigration.

Veterans Readiness and Employment Program Integrity Act

Veterans Readiness and Employment Program Integrity Act This bill modifies the Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E) program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The VR&E program provides job training and employment-related services to veterans with service-connected disabilities. The bill requires veterans to submit an application to the VA in order to receive an initial evaluation to participate in the VR&E program. Further, a veteran may not receive employment assistance under the VR&E program for more than 365 days. The bill also requires the VA to report to Congress regarding the employment of veterans who participate in a vocational rehabilitation program under the VR&E program, including the annual wages of veterans before and after completion of a program. Additionally, the VA must annually publish the average time between the date on which a veteran requests a vocational rehabilitation program under the VR&E program and the date on which they first meet with a counselor as part of the program. Finally, the VA must seek to enter into a contract with a non-VA entity that has expertise in vocational rehabilitation to review, report, and provide recommendations on rehabilitation programs under the VR&E program.

Rural Veterans’ Improved Access to Benefits Act of 2025

This bill aims to make it easier for veterans living in rural areas to access benefits and services that are often concentrated in cities and towns. It likely addresses challenges like long travel distances to VA facilities, limited mental health services, and difficulty connecting with support programs by expanding options such as telehealth appointments, mobile clinics, or partnerships with local providers. The changes would primarily benefit rural veterans and their families who currently struggle to reach VA resources.

Expanding Access for Online Veteran Students Act

It also provides funding for a water pipeline and three settlement trust funds. Specifically, the bill authorizes, ratifies, and confirms a specified water rights settlement agreement entered into by the tribes, the United States, Arizona, and others, thus satisfying claims to water rights in Arizona (including with respect to the Little Colorado River and the Colorado River). Additionally, the bill outlines the water rights of the tribes. For example, the bill allocates and assigns Colorado River water from Arizona's share to the Navajo Nation and the Hopi Tribe. The bill establishes and provides funding for an implementation fund account for the Bureau of Reclamation to plan, design, and construct a pipeline to deliver water to the tribes. Further, the bill establishes and provides funding for the Navajo Nation Water Settlement Trust Fund, the Hopi Tribe Water Settlement Trust Fund, and the San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe Water Settlement Trust Fund. The bill also establishes a reservation consisting of approximately 5,400 acres of land in Arizona and Utah for the San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe by ratifying and confirming the treaty entered into by the Navajo Nation and the San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe. The bill outlines waivers, releases, and retention of claims by the tribes and the United States under the settlement agreement.

FLASH Act

The FLASH Act would streamline the federal permitting process for projects on public lands, aiming to speed up approvals for activities like mining, logging, and energy development by setting stricter timelines for government agencies to make decisions. This would affect companies seeking to use public resources, environmental groups concerned about land protection, and communities near public lands where such projects would occur. The bill is currently being reviewed in subcommittee hearings to determine whether faster approvals would benefit economic development or compromise environmental safeguards.

BEST Facilitation Act

The bill aims to streamline immigration processes and border operations, likely by removing bureaucratic obstacles and improving coordination between federal agencies handling immigration matters. The specific changes would affect border security personnel, immigration officials, and people seeking to enter or stay in the United States by making certain procedures faster or more efficient.

CONSTRUCTS Act of 2025

The bill would establish new rules around how companies classify and treat workers, likely addressing the distinction between employees and independent contractors in the gig economy and other industries. This could affect millions of workers by determining whether they receive benefits like health insurance, paid leave, and minimum wage protections, while also impacting companies that rely on flexible workforce arrangements. The legislation aims to clarify worker classification standards across different types of jobs and work arrangements.

HEADWAY Act

Head start Education And Development Workforce Advancement and Yield Act or the HEADWAY Act This bill allows some teachers in Early Head Start programs to teach while in the process of earning their Child Development Associate (CDA) credential and completing training. Currently, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) must ensure that all teachers providing direct services to children and families in Early Head Start centers (1) have a minimum of a CDA credential and have been trained in early childhood development, and (2) have been trained in early childhood development with a focus on infant and toddler development. The bill revises this requirement by requiring at least one teacher per classroom (instead of all teachers) to have a CDA credential and training. In particular, the bill requires HHS to ensure that (1) each additional teacher providing direct services to children and families is in the process of earning a CDA credential and completing training, and (2) the Early Head Start agency provides a mentor to oversee the progress and guide the work of a teacher who is in the process of earning a CDA credential and completing training.
