Strengthening Loan Forgiveness for Public Service Workers Act

This bill would expand and strengthen loan forgiveness programs for people who work in public service jobs like teaching, nursing, social work, and government positions. Workers in these fields would have an easier time getting their federal student loans forgiven after a certain period of service, potentially with faster timelines or lower payment requirements than current rules allow. The changes would make it more practical for people to pursue careers in public service without being burdened by large amounts of student debt.

Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act of 2025

Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act of 2025 This bill removes limitations on the civil liability of gun manufacturers and the disclosure of gun trace data in civil actions.

Additionally, the bill states that firearms trace data maintained by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is not immune from legal process. Such data is subject to discovery; is admissible as evidence; and may be used, relied on, or disclosed in a civil action or administrative proceeding.
