Motor Vehicle Modernization Act of 2026

This bill would update federal rules governing how cars and trucks are designed, manufactured, and sold to reflect modern technology and safety standards. It likely addresses issues like vehicle emissions, fuel efficiency requirements, autonomous vehicle regulations, and safety features that have evolved since existing laws were written. The changes would affect automakers, consumers buying vehicles, and potentially workers in the automotive industry.

Brownfields Revitalization for a Better Tomorrow Act

This bill would help clean up and redevelop abandoned or polluted industrial sites (called brownfields) so they can be reused for new businesses, housing, or other purposes instead of sitting unused. The legislation aims to make it easier and cheaper for communities and developers to restore these contaminated properties by providing funding, technical assistance, and liability protections. This would benefit property owners, local governments, and workers by creating opportunities for economic development and job creation in areas with abandoned industrial land.

SAT Streamlining Act

Based on the title and subjects, this bill likely aims to simplify or modernize regulations related to science, technology, and communications systems, though the specific changes are unclear from the title alone. The bill has been sent to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, which typically handles telecommunications, energy, and technology policy matters. Once in committee, lawmakers will review what specific rules or processes the bill would streamline and how it would affect technology companies, internet providers, and consumers.

Mammoth Cave National Park Boundary Adjustment Act of 2025

This bill would adjust the boundaries of Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky, likely adding or removing land from the park's protected area. The change would affect how much federal land is managed as part of the park and could impact local property owners, the park's operations, and public access to cave systems and surrounding natural areas.

MVP Act

Medicaid VBPs for Patients Act or the MVP Act This bill provides statutory authority for regulations that allow for the use of varying best price points under value-based purchasing arrangements for purposes of the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program. ( Value-based purchasing arrangements refer to arrangements in which the price of a drug is linked to clinical outcomes; such arrangements are particularly used for new high-cost treatments, such as gene therapies.) The Government Accountability Office must study the impact of value-based purchasing arrangements on federal health care programs, including with respect to the bill's changes. Additionally, the bill (1) exempts sales of drugs that are made under value-based purchasing arrangements from calculations of the manufacturer average sales price for purposes of payments under Medicare medical services, if the manufacturer reports multiple best prices under Medicaid in accordance with the bill's changes; and (2) requires the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to issue guidance on how state Medicaid programs may cover drugs in inpatient settings via value-based purchasing arrangements.

KIDS Act

Without access to the full bill text, this appears to be legislation in the commerce policy area that likely addresses issues affecting children or youth, given its title. The bill has been sent to two committees—Energy and Commerce, and Judiciary—suggesting it may involve regulating how companies interact with minors, protect children's data or safety online, or establish consumer protections for young people. The exact impact on families, tech companies, or other stakeholders will depend on the specific provisions once the bill is formally introduced.

Student Financial Clarity Act of 2025

Student Financial Clarity Act of 2025 This bill requires certain actions to provide consumers (e.g., enrolled and prospective students) with additional financial information on institutions of higher education (IHEs) that participate in federal student aid programs. Specifically, the Department of Education (ED) must update its College Scorecard website with additional information, including detailed data (e.g., costs, financial aid, student debt and repayment, and earnings) for each program of study at each IHE. (The College Scorecard is a comparison tool for information on school sizes, settings, graduation rates, average costs, and salary ranges per field of study.) Additionally, ED must establish a Universal Net Price Calculator on a dedicated ED website and annually update the data. Among other elements, this calculator must (1) allow an individual to select and compare multiple IHEs and programs of study, (2) provide the individual with net price estimates for each selected IHE and each selected program of study, and (3) provide access to information in an electronic and downloadable format. Each IHE must make publicly available on its website either the net price calculator developed by ED or the IHE's own calculator (if it includes, at a minimum, the same data elements of ED's calculator).

SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Reauthorization Act of 2025

SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Reauthorization Act of 2025 This bill reauthorizes and revises Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) programs that address substance use disorders, overdoses, and mental health. For example, the bill reauthorizes for FY2026-FY2030 grant and other programs relating to • addressing substance use disorders with respect to pregnant and postpartum women, • prevention and recovery from substance use disorders for youth, • housing for individuals in recovery from substance use disorders, • community organizations facilitating recovery from substance use disorders, • loan repayment for certain health care providers treating substance use disorders, • prevention of overdoses of controlled substances, • treatment of children experiencing psychological trauma, and • mental and behavioral health education and training for medical and allied health students. Also, the bill revises several programs, including by (1) expanding a program that supports resources for first responders to include the purchase of drugs or devices to treat non-opioid overdoses, (2) expanding a program that supports employment services for individuals in recovery so as to allow for the provision of related transportation services, and (3) temporarily authorizing a regional technical assistance center to assist the National Peer-Run Training and Technical Assistance Center for Addiction Recovery Support. Additionally, the bill establishes new requirements for HHS, including requirements relating to • protecting the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline program from cybersecurity threats, • establishing a Federal Interagency Work Group on Fentanyl Contamination of Illegal Drugs, and • reviewing and potentially revising the scheduling of approved products containing a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone under the Controlled Substances Act.
