HJRES 80: Establishing the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment.

H.J. Res. 80 would declare the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) part of the U.S. Constitution, asserting it has been ratified by 38 states (three-fourths of the states) despite the original 1972 deadline. If passed, this resolution would formally establish the ERA as a constitutional amendment, requiring all federal and state laws to align with its gender equality protections. The bill does not create new laws but confirms the ERA's status as part of the Constitution, affecting how laws are interpreted and enforced. It is a procedural step to resolve the legal dispute over the ERA's validity after decades of debate.

It serves as a symbolic statement opposing policies that restrict emergency reproductive care access.

HR 2257: National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Coin Act

HR 2257 authorizes the U.S. Mint to produce three commemorative coins (a $5 gold coin, a $1 silver coin, and a half-dollar) to honor fallen firefighters, with specific quantity limits and specifications. The bill requires a surcharge ($35 for gold, $10 for silver, $5 for half-dollar) on each coin sold, which is directed entirely to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to support its programs. The coins must be issued in 2026, will be legal tender, and the government must recover all costs through sales before distributing funds to the Foundation. This is a commemorative coin program, not a direct legislative policy change affecting broader public programs.

HR 1400: To amend title 38, United States Code, to establish a presumption that certain veterans were exposed to radiation and other toxins at the Nevada Test and Training Range for purposes of the treatment of certain disabilities under the laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, and for other purposes.

This bill establishes eligibility for certain disability compensation and benefits for individuals who served at the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR). The bill establishes that onsite participation on or after January 1, 1972, and before January 1, 2005, at certain NTTR locations where there was a potential of toxic exposure is a radiation-risk activity, therefore providing a presumption of service-connection for specified conditions. The bill specifies the covered NTTR locations include a location at Indian Springs Auxiliary Airfield but do not include a location at Nellis Air Force Base or Creech Air Force Base. The bill also establishes a presumption of toxic exposure for veterans who performed active service at such NTTR locations, including airspace above such locations. Additionally, lipomas and tumor related conditions must be considered as service-connected conditions for veterans who served at the NTTR locations.

HR 2233: SLOT Act of 2025

The SLOT Act of 2025 raises the tax reporting threshold for slot machine winnings from $1,200 to $5,000 per play, meaning casinos no longer need to report winnings under this amount to the IRS. It directly affects slot machine players who win less than $5,000 in a single play and casino operators who previously filed tax forms for smaller wins. The threshold will automatically increase annually after 2026 based on inflation, rounded to the nearest $100. The change applies to winnings occurring after December 31, 2025.

HR 2228: Survivor Benefits Fairness Act

HR 2228, the Survivor Benefits Fairness Act, modifies how the Department of Veterans Affairs calculates when survivor benefits stop for veterans' spouses or dependents. It changes the effective date for benefit reductions or discontinuances due to remarriage, marriage, or death from "the last day of the month before" to "the last day of the month during which" the event occurs. This means benefits will stop immediately in the month the qualifying event happens, rather than at the start of the following month. The bill directly affects veterans' spouses and dependents who receive dependency and indemnity compensation or pensions. It does not change benefit amounts or eligibility criteria, only the timing of when reductions take effect.

The change directly affects Medicare ambulance providers by postponing compliance deadlines for billing requirements.
