S 3549: PBM FAIR Act

This bill reclassifies pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) as fiduciaries under federal law, requiring them to act in the best interest of group health plans they serve. It mandates PBMs to disclose all compensation sources (including rebates and fees) and prohibits them from shielding themselves from liability for breaches of duty. The law directly affects PBMs, employers offering health plans, and health insurers that use PBM services. Key provisions include new transparency rules, clarifying that PBMs cannot be the "responsible fiduciary" for disclosure purposes, and banning contracts that exempt PBMs from accountability.

S 3535: GRACE Act

The GRACE Act (S 3535) sets a minimum annual refugee admission target of 125,000 for the U.S., requiring the President to determine this number based on humanitarian needs and national interest. It introduces community/private sponsorship for refugees, allowing groups to provide initial resettlement services instead of traditional agency support. The bill mandates quarterly public reports to Congress on admissions numbers, regional allocations aligned with UN resettlement needs, processing times, security checks, and any shortfall in meeting targets. This directly affects refugees seeking admission, the Department of Homeland Security (which administers processing), and Congress (through transparency requirements).

HR 6772: Affordable Housing Through Common-Sense Standards Act

This bill directs the Comptroller General to study whether a federal uniform residential building code could reduce local government approval times for new housing, lower construction costs nationwide, and improve the quality and affordability of housing. The study must be completed within one year of the bill's enactment and report findings to Congress. It does not create new regulations but examines potential benefits of standardized building codes. The study would primarily inform future policy decisions affecting local governments and the housing market, without directly changing current building standards or costs.

HR 6799: BRIDGE for Young-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease Act of 2025

This bill eliminates waiting periods for Social Security disability benefits and Medicare coverage for individuals diagnosed with young-onset Alzheimer's disease. It amends the Social Security Act to add "young-onset Alzheimer's" (as defined by the Social Security Commissioner) to the list of conditions qualifying for immediate disability benefits, removing a 5-month waiting period for applications filed after its enactment date. It also waives the standard 24-month waiting period for Medicare coverage when young-onset Alzheimer's is diagnosed, effective for benefits starting after the bill's enactment. These changes directly affect people with young-onset Alzheimer's seeking timely access to critical financial and health coverage.

HR 6787: Clean Competition Act

The Clean Competition Act (HR 6787) creates a carbon border adjustment mechanism that imposes fees on imported goods and domestic production based on their carbon intensity relative to U.S. industry averages. The bill requires covered entities to report greenhouse gas emissions and production data annually, calculates charges based on how much a facility's emissions exceed a baseline percentage that decreases over time, and provides rebates for exported goods. It includes provisions for carbon removal credits, establishes funding programs to support domestic industrial decarbonization through grants and contracts, and creates a framework for international 'carbon club' agreements with trading partners that meet specific environmental and labor standards.

HR 6793: Public Shipyard Workforce Protection Act of 2025

This bill prohibits using fiscal year 2026 Department of Defense funds to implement hiring freezes, layoffs, or unnecessary delays in filling vacant positions at public shipyards. It directly affects public shipyards and their Federal civilian employees by preventing workforce reductions without justification. The key provision blocks specific personnel actions - hiring freezes, layoffs, and unfounded hiring delays - using Defense Department funding. This is a procedural measure focused on preserving existing workforce stability at these facilities.

HR 6826: Critical Minerals Independence Act

HR 6826, the Critical Minerals Independence Act, expands a federal tax credit for advanced manufacturing to include "black mass" - the material recovered from processing spent lithium-ion batteries. The bill defines black mass as the intermediate solid material containing metals like lithium, nickel, and cobalt, before it is purified into individual components. This change directly affects battery recycling companies and manufacturers who process spent batteries, allowing them to claim the tax credit for components made from this material. The provision applies to components produced and sold after December 31, 2024.

HR 6786: Schedules That Work Act

The Schedules That Work Act would require employers in retail, food service, hospitality, cleaning, and warehouse sectors to provide workers with 14 days' advance notice of their schedules and pay predictability wages for last-minute changes. It allows employees to request schedule changes related to caregiving responsibilities, health conditions, education, or other jobs, with employers required to engage in good-faith discussions about such requests. The bill prohibits retaliation against employees who request schedule changes and mandates written notice of schedule changes and predictability pay. It applies to employers with 15 or more employees in covered sectors, aiming to address widespread issues with unpredictable schedules that negatively impact workers' ability to care for family members, maintain housing stability, and access health care.

HR 6828: Transnational Fentanyl Prevention Act

HR 6828, the Transnational Fentanyl Prevention Act, requires the CIA to produce a detailed intelligence assessment on the Sinaloa and Jalisco cartels within 90 days of the bill’s enactment. The assessment must cover cartel leadership, drug smuggling routes, chemical supply chains for fentanyl production, marketing tactics targeting U.S. consumers, and efforts to undermine U.S. and Mexican counternarcotics operations. It also mandates an annual revenue estimate for these cartels, disaggregated by drug type. This bill does not create new laws or policies but directs Congress to receive this intelligence report to inform future counterdrug strategies. The report will be submitted to specific congressional committees, including intelligence and foreign affairs panels.

It mandates up to three IVF cycles per year with single embryo transfers by default (unless medically necessary), eliminates cost-sharing barriers after an infertility diagnosis, and prohibits coverage for genetic screening, cloning, or artificial wombs. The law defines "infertility" based on medical guidelines and specifies covered treatments like egg/sperm retrieval, embryo preservation, and fertility medications. It does not apply to former service members or their dependents.

To qualify, the copper must be purified to at least 99.9% purity by mass and made from recycled sources. This change applies to components sold in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024.

HR 6796: Military CARE Act

This bill establishes a digital system for TRICARE members to electronically file and track complaints about access to care at military medical facilities. It requires the Defense Department to create a system where beneficiaries can submit complaints online, view their status in real time, and have complaints automatically aggregated quarterly for review. The system mandates annual reports to Congress comparing complaint types (e.g., specialty vs. primary care, pediatric vs. non-pediatric, administrative hurdles) and detailing facility-level actions taken to address issues. The goal is to improve transparency and accountability in military healthcare access.
