HR 1198: Let’s Get to Work Act of 2025

HR 1198, the Let’s Get to Work Act of 2025, amends work requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and extends them to public housing and tenant-based rental assistance programs. It increases the work requirement period from 3 to 6 months for non-exempt SNAP participants (ages 18-50 without children), while adding exemptions for parents with young children, individuals over 60, and married couples where one spouse complies with work rules. These changes apply directly to SNAP recipients and public housing tenants meeting the specified criteria, aligning housing program eligibility with SNAP’s updated work rules. The bill modifies existing provisions without creating new programs or altering benefit levels.

S 1027: Military Spouse Hiring Act

This bill expands the Work Opportunity Tax Credit to include military spouses. It adds "qualified military spouse" as a new category eligible for the credit, meaning employers who hire spouses of active-duty service members can claim the tax benefit. To qualify, a spouse must be certified by a local agency as married to an Armed Forces member at the time of hire. The change applies to hires occurring after the law's effective date, directly affecting military spouses seeking employment and employers who hire them.

S 1064: FOCA Act

The FOCA Act (S 1064) requires federal agencies to ensure open competition on construction projects by prohibiting them from mandating or banning contractors from entering into labor agreements (like union contracts) or discriminating against contractors based on such agreements. It directly affects federal contractors, subcontractors, and agencies awarding construction contracts or grants for projects involving federal funds. Key provisions ban specific bid specifications or project documents from requiring labor affiliations, apply to all contracts after enactment, and mandate updates to federal procurement rules within 60 days. The bill aims to reduce taxpayer costs, expand opportunities for small businesses, and maintain federal neutrality in labor relations for construction projects.
Topics ✓ Labor & EmploymentSupports Labor & EmploymentProhibits federal agencies from banning or mandating union contracts, protecting contractors' rights to enter labor agreements and supporting collective bargaining under Labor & Employment policies.95% confidence

S 978: HELPER Act of 2025

The HELPER Act of 2025 creates a new FHA mortgage insurance program specifically for first responders and teachers, allowing them to purchase homes with no down payment. It defines "first responders" as full-time law enforcement officers, firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, and K-12 teachers employed by government or accredited schools. The program requires applicants to be first-time homebuyers with 4 years of recent employment in their field, complete housing counseling, and intend to remain in their role for at least one year after closing. Mortgages under this program must be used for a primary residence, cover 100% of the home's appraised value, and exclude monthly insurance premiums.

S 983: Hearing Device Coverage Clarification Act

The Hearing Device Coverage Clarification Act (S 983) requires the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to clarify that implanted active middle ear hearing devices are prosthetics - not hearing aids - so they fall under Medicare's prosthetic coverage instead of the hearing aid exclusion. This change would directly affect Medicare beneficiaries who use these specific devices, ensuring they qualify for coverage without being denied under current policy. CMS must issue this clarification within 60 days of the bill's enactment, referencing the existing regulatory definition of "prosthetic" from 42 CFR § 414.202. The bill does not create new benefits but removes a coverage barrier for these devices.

S 987: Protecting Life and Integrity in Research Act of 2025

This bill prohibits federal agencies from funding, supporting, or conducting research using human fetal tissue obtained from induced abortions. It allows federal research on tissue from miscarriages or stillbirths (defined as loss before 20 weeks or at 20+ weeks, respectively) and permits development of new cell lines not derived from abortion tissue. The bill amends the Public Health Service Act to restrict permissible tissue sources to miscarriage/stillbirth and revises definitions accordingly. It also repeals a prior provision allowing research on abortion-derived tissue and adds new restrictions on soliciting or accepting such tissue.

S 990: Freedom to Haul Act of 2025

S 990, the Freedom to Haul Act of 2025, prohibits the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from implementing or enforcing Phase 3 greenhouse gas emissions standards for heavy-duty vehicles (finalized in April 2024). It amends the Clean Air Act to require that future emissions rules for vehicles cannot mandate specific technologies or limit the availability of new trucks based on engine type. This directly affects EPA regulatory authority and vehicle manufacturers, ensuring a broader range of new truck options remains available. The bill focuses on preventing regulatory restrictions on vehicle choice, not on emissions outcomes.

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 1007: 9–8–8 Lifeline Cybersecurity Responsibility Act

This bill strengthens cybersecurity protections for the 9-8-8 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline program. It requires the program’s network administrator (receiving federal funding) and participating local crisis centers to report cybersecurity vulnerabilities or incidents within 24 hours. The program must coordinate with the Department of Health and Human Services’ Chief Information Security Officer to eliminate vulnerabilities. Additionally, the bill mandates a study by the Comptroller General on the hotline’s cybersecurity risks, to be completed within 180 days of enactment.

S 1011: Belt and Road Oversight Act

This bill establishes a system for U.S. diplomatic posts to monitor China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) activities globally. It requires each U.S. embassy to designate a "Country China Officer" to track Chinese investments in critical infrastructure, assess debt risks to host countries, and identify BRI projects and related collateral. The officers must submit annual reports detailing these findings to the State Department, which then compiles and distributes comprehensive reports to Congress and relevant agencies. The program is set to expire 10 years after enactment, with no requirement for countries having minimal Chinese investment.

S 1010: CAMPUS Act

The CAMPUS Act requires the Director of National Intelligence to identify Chinese institutions of higher education supporting China's military-civil fusion strategy or defense industrial base, submitting an annual list to Congress. It prohibits federal funding for Department of Defense research contracts with entities partnering with these institutions, blocks facilities from hosting classified information without certification of no such partnerships, and allows visa denials for students/employees of listed institutions. The bill also restricts K-12 education funding for schools with contracts with Chinese entities and lowers the disclosure threshold for foreign gifts to $50,000. Additionally, it authorizes grants for U.S. schools to partner with Taiwan for Mandarin language and cultural programming. The bill directly affects federal research recipients, K-12 schools, and individuals affiliated with targeted Chinese institutions.
