HR 7908: 20-Year Promise Act

This bill, known as the 20-Year Promise Act, would extend educational assistance benefits for U.S. military service members who complete at least 20 years of active service. Under current law, veterans typically receive up to 36 months of education funding, but this legislation would increase that limit to 72 months for those who meet the 20-year service requirement. The change applies to individuals who complete their 20 years of service on or after the bill is enacted, regardless of when they joined the military or their specific duty status. The bill modifies Title 38 of the U.S. Code to establish these new eligibility rules and adjust related provisions governing how education benefits are transferred and limited.

S 2160: Grand River Bands of Ottawa Indians Restoration Act of 2025

The Grand River Bands of Ottawa Indians Restoration Act of 2025 grants federal recognition to the Grand River Bands of Ottawa Indians of Michigan, a tribe that has sought official recognition since filing a petition in 2000.

The bill requires the tribe to submit a membership list within 18 months and authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to acquire land in specified counties for the tribe, which can be designated as reservation land. It also reaffirms the tribe’s existing rights and claims that were previously denied under federal law.

HR 800: DEI to DIE Act

HR 800, the "DEI to DIE Act," requires federal agencies to eliminate all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, offices, and policies within 60 days of enactment. It mandates termination of DEI-related positions (like Chief Diversity Officers), equity action plans, DEI training for contractors, and DEI factors in employee performance reviews, directing agencies to instead reward "individual initiative, skills, and performance." The bill requires agencies to report all existing DEI budgets, staff, and contractors providing DEI training since 2021, and to assess the cost and impact of prior DEI programs. This directly affects all federal agencies, their contractors, and grantees who participated in DEI initiatives under the previous administration.

HR 6292, the Don’t Sell Kids’ Data Act of 2025, prohibits data brokers from collecting, using, selling, or sharing the personal information of children (under 13) and teens (13-18).

HR 6671: REPAIR Infrastructure Act

HR 6671, the REPAIR Infrastructure Act, reauthorizes $3 billion annually (2027-2031) for infrastructure projects that reconnect communities divided by highways or other "divisive roadway infrastructure" (like high-speed roads or viaducts). It directly affects local governments, tribes, and community groups seeking funding to rebuild access to jobs, healthcare, schools, and parks - especially in neighborhoods historically cut off by transportation projects. Key provisions prohibit using funds for new highway lanes, require projects to address historic inequities, and prioritize affordable housing, disability access, and community input. Projects must demonstrate how they prevent displacement, support low-income residents, and integrate with local land use (e.g., preserving affordable housing or limiting parking requirements).
