S 991: A bill to amend the Small Business Act to eliminate certain requirements relating to the award of construction subcontracts within the county or State of performance.

S 991 repeals a specific requirement in the Small Business Act that previously mandated federal contractors to award construction subcontracts within the county or state where the work is performed. This change directly affects small businesses participating in the federal 8(a) contracting program, which helps them compete for government construction projects. The bill eliminates paragraph (11) of section 8(a) (15 U.S.C. 637(a)), removing the geographic restriction on subcontracting. This simplifies the contracting process for small businesses by allowing them greater flexibility in selecting subcontractors nationwide. The bill makes a concrete policy change to administrative rules without altering program eligibility or funding.

S 995: Choice in Automobile Retail Sales Act of 2025

This bill repeals the EPA's 2024 emissions standards for light- and medium-duty vehicles and amends the Clean Air Act to prevent future regulations from mandating specific technologies or limiting new vehicle availability based on engine type. It directly affects the EPA's regulatory authority and vehicle manufacturers by blocking technology mandates and restrictions on engine types in new vehicles. Key provisions require the EPA to revise regulations within 24 months to align with these changes, ensuring no federal rules limit vehicle choices based on engine technology. The bill's title is misleading, as it does not address automobile retail sales or consumer choice at dealerships.

S 996: Preserving Choice in Vehicle Purchases Act of 2025

This bill amends the Clean Air Act to prevent states from imposing standards that limit the sale or use of new internal combustion engine vehicles. It adds a new requirement that state standards must not directly or indirectly restrict such vehicles, and it prohibits the EPA from considering pre-2025 state standards as valid under existing waivers. The bill also requires the EPA to revoke certain existing waivers granted between January 2022 and the bill's enactment date if those waivers don't comply with the new standard. This directly affects states with their own vehicle emission rules (like California's ZEV program), limiting their ability to regulate internal combustion engine vehicles through EPA-approved standards.

S 958: Tech to Save Moms Act

The Tech to Save Moms Act expands access to telehealth for pregnant and postpartum individuals in underserved communities by allowing remote screening and management of pregnancy complications through digital tools. It authorizes $6 million annually (2026-2030) for grants to train maternal health providers on reducing racial disparities, using telehealth during emergencies, and addressing social health risks. The grants prioritize health professional shortage areas, rural communities, and populations with high maternal mortality rates, requiring grantees to evaluate outcomes and develop best practices. The bill also mandates a study on AI and monitoring devices to address racial biases in maternal health technology.

S 963: Space National Guard Establishment Act of 2025

The Space National Guard Establishment Act of 2025 creates a Space National Guard as a reserve component of the Space Force, composed exclusively of existing units from seven states: Alaska, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, New York, and Ohio. It transfers specific Air National Guard units (like the 213th Space Warning Squadron in Alaska and the 137th Space Warning Squadron in Colorado) to the new Space National Guard without adding new personnel or facilities. The bill mandates that the Space National Guard must operate within existing military infrastructure, prohibiting new construction or modifications to accommodate it. It also amends military law to formally define the Space National Guard and its role within the Space Force structure.

S 925: Credit for Caring Act of 2025

S. 925 (Credit for Caring Act of 2025) creates a 30% tax credit for eligible family caregivers incurring qualified expenses to care for a certified relative with long-term care needs. It directly affects caregivers who earn over $7,500 annually and pay expenses exceeding $2,000 per year for care recipients certified by a healthcare professional as needing at least 180 days of care during the tax year. The credit covers costs like human assistance, home modifications, transportation, and respite care, with a maximum annual credit of $5,000 (adjusted for inflation). The credit phases out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income above $75,000 ($150,000 for joint filers). The bill applies to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024.

S 478: Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act of 2025

Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act of 2025 This bill prohibits the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) from transmitting certain information to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) utilized by licensed importers or dealers of firearms. Specifically, the bill prohibits the VA from transmitting personally identifying information of a veteran or a beneficiary to the NICS solely on the basis that such veteran or beneficiary has an appointed fiduciary to manage their benefits, unless there is an order or finding of a judicial authority that such veteran or beneficiary is a danger to themselves or others.

S 124: Restore VA Accountability Act of 2025

The Restore VA Accountability Act of 2025 establishes new rules for disciplining VA supervisors and management officials (excluding senior executives and political appointees) for poor performance or misconduct. It requires the VA Secretary to use specific, written criteria - like the offense's severity, the employee's role, and past record - when deciding on removal, demotion, or suspension, and mandates decisions within 15 business days. The bill creates an internal grievance process for affected employees and strengthens whistleblower protections by requiring Special Counsel approval before disciplining someone who disclosed wrongdoing. It also limits judicial review to cases of arbitrary or capricious decisions and explicitly prohibits courts from reducing penalties. The law applies to VA employees covered under the bill's definition, effective from the 2017 VA Accountability Act's enactment date.
Topics ✓ VeteransSupports VeteransBill improves VA accountability for veterans' services by mandating clear disciplinary criteria and timelines, directly strengthening oversight of VA management to protect veteran care quality.85% confidence

HR 2048: Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act

Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act This bill expedites payment of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits and eligibility for Medicare coverage for those with metastatic breast cancer (i.e., breast cancer that has spread to other sites in the body). Specifically, the bill eliminates the 5-month waiting period for SSDI benefits and the subsequent 24-month waiting period for Medicare coverage for individuals with metastatic breast cancer. Under current law, individuals generally must wait 5 months after the onset of disability to begin receiving SSDI benefits and an additional 24 months to become eligible for Medicare.

HR 2032: BITCOIN Act of 2025

The BITCOIN Act of 2025 directs the U.S. Treasury to establish a "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" for securely storing government-held Bitcoin. It mandates purchasing 1,000,000 Bitcoins over five years (200,000 annually), requiring all acquired Bitcoin - including through federal agency transfers or forfeitures - to be held in this reserve for a minimum of 20 years without sale. The bill also requires the Treasury to manage digital assets from Bitcoin forks or airdrops for five years before potentially selling non-dominant assets, while implementing strict security protocols and quarterly public transparency reports. Funding for the purchase program will come from Federal Reserve remittances and gold certificate adjustments, with no impact on private citizens' Bitcoin ownership rights under Section 10.
