HR 2423: Unfair Tax Prevention Act

HR 2423, the Unfair Tax Prevention Act, amends the U.S. tax code to modify how the base erosion tax applies to certain foreign-owned businesses. It directly affects foreign-controlled entities operating under specific foreign tax systems that impose taxes based on ownership chains, such as those linked to foreign corporations. Key provisions include treating these entities as "applicable taxpayers" for tax purposes, changing a deadline from December 31, 2025, to the bill's enactment date, and counting 50% of their cost of goods sold as a tax benefit while excluding certain other tax rules. The changes apply to taxable years beginning after the bill becomes law.

HR 1970: Providing Veterans Essential Medications Act

The Providing Veterans Essential Medications Act requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to reimburse State homes or provide medications directly for certain high-cost drugs used by veterans in State-run nursing homes. A medication is defined as high-cost if its price (including a 3% fee) exceeds 8.5% of the VA's monthly payment for the veteran's care at that home. This applies specifically to State homes that provide such medications to veterans under VA contracts. The bill ensures veterans receive essential medications without financial burden on the State homes, using clear cost thresholds to determine eligibility.

SJRES 39: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Internal Revenue Service relating to "Section 45Y Clean Electricity Production Credit and Section 48E Clean Electricity Investment Credit".

SJRES 39 is a joint resolution seeking congressional disapproval of an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rule interpreting the Clean Electricity Production Credit (Section 45Y) and Clean Electricity Investment Credit (Section 48E) tax provisions. If passed, this resolution would nullify the IRS rule, directly affecting businesses and individuals claiming these clean energy tax credits. The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act process to block the rule from taking effect, without altering the underlying tax code. This is a procedural disapproval measure, not a substantive policy change.

S 1151: Accountability Through Electronic Verification Act

Accountability Through Electronic Verification Act This bill expands the E-Verify program by requiring all employers to use it and permanently reauthorizes the program. Currently, E-Verify use is voluntary for most employers, although some states mandate its use. All employers must use E-Verify to confirm the identity and employment eligibility of all recruited, referred, or hired individuals, including current employees who were never verified under the program. Failure to use E-Verify shall create a rebuttable presumption that the employer is violating immigration law. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services must generate weekly reports about individuals who have received a final nonconfirmation of employment eligibility. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) must use the report to enforce immigration laws. The bill increases civil and criminal penalties for hiring non-U.S. nationals ( aliens under federal law) who are not authorized to work. DHS must bar repeat offenders and those criminally convicted from holding federal contracts, grants, or cooperative agreements. The Social Security Administration, Internal Revenue Service, Department of the Treasury, and DHS must jointly establish a program to share information to help identify non-U.S. nationals who are not authorized to work. The bill establishes the Employer Compliance Inspection Center within Homeland Security Investigations of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The center's duties include processing I-9 employment eligibility verification forms and ensuring compliance with employment eligibility laws. DHS must report to Congress on ways to simplify procedures relating to I-9 forms and on whether the I-9 process should be eliminated.

S 1158: Working Families Flexibility Act of 2025

The Working Families Flexibility Act of 2025 allows private sector employees to earn time off instead of cash for overtime hours, at a rate of 1.5 hours of time off for every hour of overtime worked. To qualify, employees must have worked at least 1,000 hours for their employer in the prior 12 months, and agreements for time off must be voluntary, in writing, and not tied to employment conditions. Employers must pay cash for unused time off by January 31 each year (or another agreed 12-month period), with a cap of 160 hours of accrued time. The bill excludes public employees, includes enforcement provisions for violations, and expires 5 years after enactment.

HR 2355: Collegiate Housing and Infrastructure Act of 2025

This bill amends the tax code to allow charitable organizations (501(c)(3) nonprofits) to provide grants for college student housing without losing their tax-exempt status. It specifically permits grants to improve or maintain "collegiate housing property" (where most residents are full-time students at a nearby college) but excludes grants for fitness facilities. The change affects charities seeking to fund student housing infrastructure, clarifying that such grants qualify as charitable under existing tax rules. The policy change applies to grants made after the bill's enactment date.

HR 2354: Restoring Temporary to TANF Act

This bill requires states receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds to spend at least 25% of their annual grant amount on work-related services. Specifically, states must use these funds for job training, education programs, apprenticeships, short-term benefits, and case management to help individuals create employment plans. The requirement applies to all states administering TANF programs and takes effect October 1, 2026. It directly affects TANF recipients by prioritizing workforce development support through mandatory state spending.

HR 2369: PHIT Act of 2025

The PHIT Act of 2025 allows taxpayers to deduct certain fitness-related expenses as medical costs on their federal tax returns. It directly affects individuals and families who pay for qualifying physical activity programs, such as gym memberships, fitness classes, or approved equipment. Key provisions include setting annual limits ($1,000 per person or $2,000 for joint returns), defining eligible fitness facilities (excluding golf courses or private clubs), and specifying that equipment must be used exclusively for physical activity. The bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to treat these expenses as deductible medical costs, effective for taxable years after its enactment.
