HR 5901: BCRA of 2025

This bill requires states receiving certain federal law enforcement funds to submit quarterly, anonymous reports to the Attorney General about pregnant individuals and births in custody. It mandates data on pregnancy testing, prenatal care, birth outcomes, restraint use (including during labor), postpartum care, and restrictive housing for incarcerated pregnant people. States failing to comply face up to a 10% reduction in allocated federal funds. The reports will be publicly published, and the Attorney General must conduct a study to analyze the data and improve care standards. The bill affects all states with correctional facilities (including jails, prisons, and boot camps) that receive funding under the specified federal program.

HR 5876: Keep America Building Act

HR 5876, the Keep America Building Act, prevents federal agencies from using funds to halt construction work under government contracts during budget gaps. It directly affects federal contractors and agencies managing construction projects by requiring them to continue work without interruption if a government funding lapse occurs. The key provision bans the use of federal money to suspend, delay, or stop any part of a project covered by a contract during an appropriations lapse. This ensures continuity for ongoing construction projects without requiring new funding approvals during temporary budget shortfalls.

HR 5890: No Tax Exemptions For Terror Act

The No Tax Exemptions For Terror Act would deny tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and any organization determined to have ties to terrorism or terrorist groups. This means these organizations would no longer qualify for federal tax-exempt status, requiring them to pay income taxes on their earnings. The provision applies to taxable years ending after the bill's enactment date. The bill directly affects organizations identified by the government as having connections to terrorism.

HR 4256: Digital Coast Reauthorization Act of 2025

This bill extends the Digital Coast program through 2030, amending the existing Digital Coast Act. It requires NOAA to make coastal data "fully and freely available" (not just accessible) and explicitly includes underground infrastructure data in the types of information collected. The changes directly affect NOAA, which manages the program, and entities relying on its coastal data for planning and development. The bill focuses on updating program requirements rather than creating new policies.

S 3071: Keep SNAP and WIC Funded Act of 2025

This bill ensures uninterrupted access to SNAP (food stamps) and WIC benefits during government funding gaps in fiscal year 2026. It authorizes the Treasury to provide emergency funds if Congress fails to pass full-year appropriations for the Department of Agriculture by September 30, 2025, covering all missed benefits retroactively from September 30, 2025. State agencies administering these programs would be reimbursed for costs incurred during the funding lapse. The funding automatically terminates once Congress passes 2026 appropriations or by September 30, 2026.

S 3067: Innovation Fund Act

S 3067, the Innovation Fund Act, establishes a competitive grant program administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to help eligible cities, counties, and tribes increase local housing supply. The program provides annual grants (ranging from $250,000 to $10 million) to entities that have demonstrated improved housing supply growth, with priority given to innovative zoning reforms and initiatives that expand "attainable housing" (housing serving households at 60-120% of area median income). Grants can fund activities like revising parking requirements, eliminating restrictive zoning, streamlining permitting, and creating mixed-income developments. The bill authorizes $200 million annually (adjusted for inflation) for fiscal years 2027-2031 and explicitly states it does not override local zoning laws or affect existing housing program requirements.

S 3061: HUD Transparency Act of 2025

The HUD Transparency Act of 2025 requires the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Inspector General to provide annual testimony to specific congressional committees. Each October, the Inspector General must report on efforts to prevent fraud, audit capabilities, program improvements, efficiency recommendations, resource adequacy, and ongoing work. This bill directly affects HUD's Inspector General and the House Financial Services Committee and Senate Banking committees, mandating structured transparency about HUD's operations. It does not change HUD programs but establishes a regular reporting mechanism to enhance accountability.

HR 5868: Water Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2025

This bill amends the Safe Drinking Water Act to require community water systems to participate in cybersecurity training focused on protecting against and responding to cyberattacks. It updates funding periods for these training programs, extending them from 2020-2021 to 2026-2031. The key provision mandates that training programs must cover specific cyber threat mitigation and response strategies. This directly affects community water systems receiving federal funding under the Safe Drinking Water Act.

HR 5867: Plant-Powered School Meals Pilot Act

HR 5867, the Plant-Powered School Meals Pilot Act, creates a federal grant program to help schools serve 100% plant-based meal options. It authorizes $10 million for grants to school food authorities (specifically those serving 50%+ students eligible for free/reduced-price meals) over three years to cover staff training, meal preparation, community partnerships, and procurement from underserved farmers. The bill also establishes a separate $2 million pilot to reimburse schools for nondairy beverage substitutions for students with dietary needs, prioritizing schools with high lactose intolerance rates. Both pilots require annual reporting on participation, meal counts, and fund usage, with final reports submitted to Congress.

HR 5862: American Energy Independence and Affordability Act

The American Energy Independence and Affordability Act extends multiple clean energy tax credits that were set to expire between 2025 and 2026. It specifically extends residential clean energy credits through 2034, clean electricity investment credits for wind and solar through 2032, and clean vehicle credits for electric vehicles through 2032. The bill also reinstates special rates for sustainable aviation fuel and modifies requirements for energy-efficient home improvements. These provisions directly affect homeowners installing solar panels, businesses investing in clean energy infrastructure, and manufacturers producing clean energy equipment.

HR 5850: GRAD Act

The GRAD Act (HR 5850) prevents colleges from changing or ending a student's enrollment status if federal financial aid under Title IV is delayed due to a government shutdown. It directly affects students receiving federal aid and the institutions that award it. The bill amends the Higher Education Act to require schools to maintain enrollment status during disruptions caused by lapses in government funding. This ensures students aren’t penalized for aid delays beyond their control during shutdowns.

HR 689: FREE Act

The FREE Act (HR 689) requires federal agencies to replace slow, discretionary permitting processes with a streamlined "permitting by rule" system for certain permits. Under this system, applicants would certify compliance with written standards (instead of lengthy agency reviews) and receive a permit automatically after 180 days if the agency doesn’t act. Agencies must first report on their current permitting processes and identify which permits can transition to this model, with deadlines for submissions and implementation. This directly affects federal agencies issuing permits (e.g., environmental or construction permits) and applicants seeking them, aiming to reduce delays and costs while allowing agencies to audit and enforce compliance after permits are granted.
