HR 4329: Building Civic Bridges Act

HR 4329, the Building Civic Bridges Act, creates an Office of Civic Bridgebuilding within the Corporation for National and Community Service to support projects reducing community divisions. It establishes a 3-year pilot grant program funding nonprofits, community groups, and schools to run projects that foster respect across diverse communities, address unmet needs like health or safety concerns, and improve social cohesion. Grants require projects to use research-based approaches, engage polarized communities, ensure participant safety, and track outcomes using standardized criteria. The program is funded exclusively through existing donations (not new federal funds) and mandates consultation with diverse community leaders and researchers. The Office will also compile research on civic bridgebuilding best practices for public access.

HR 4299: Protecting Patient Access to Cancer and Complex Therapies Act

This bill requires drug manufacturers to pay rebates to Medicare when their "selected drugs" (cancer and complex therapies subject to negotiated maximum fair prices) are used. Manufacturers must calculate rebates based on the difference between current Medicare payment rates (ASP+6) and new negotiated rates (MFP+6), covering the gap for beneficiaries. This lowers patient coinsurance from the current 20% of ASP+6 to 20% of MFP+6 for these specific drugs during the negotiated price period. The rebates are paid to the Medicare trust fund and apply to Medicare Part B beneficiaries using these drugs, directly affecting drug manufacturers and patients covered under Medicare Part B.

HRES 543: Recognizing the right to peacefully protest and condemning violence and authoritarian responses to expressions of dissent.

HRES 543 is a symbolic House resolution (not a law) introduced by multiple representatives. It affirms the constitutional right to peaceful protest under the First Amendment and condemns violent acts by some individuals during demonstrations, such as vandalism and looting.

It also denounces inflammatory rhetoric that escalated tensions and supports law enforcement efforts to protect public safety during protests. The resolution has no binding effect but formally expresses congressional position on these issues.
