HR 1123: To abolish the United States Agency for International Development, and for other purposes.

This bill would abolish the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) by ending all federal funding for its operations. Starting on the bill's enactment date, no funds may be used for USAID's functions under the Foreign Assistance Act or other laws, and any unused funds as of the day before enactment would be rescinded. All remaining USAID assets and liabilities would be transferred to the Secretary of State.

HR 1137: No Kill Switches in Cars Act

HR 1137, the "No Kill Switches in Cars Act," repeals Section 24220 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Public Law 117-58), which previously required vehicle manufacturers to implement advanced impaired driving technology. This bill directly affects car manufacturers by removing a mandate to integrate specific safety technology designed to detect driver impairment. The key provision is the repeal itself, eliminating the requirement without creating new obligations or altering existing vehicle safety standards.

HR 1131: Family Farm and Small Business Exemption Act

HR 1131 exempts certain family farms and small businesses from being counted as assets when calculating financial need for federal student aid under the Higher Education Act. Specifically, it amends the law to exclude the net value of a family farm where the family resides and small businesses (with ≤100 employees) owned by the family from need analysis calculations. This change directly affects students from qualifying family farm or small business households when applying for federal financial aid. The exemption applies to need analysis conducted for award years beginning after the bill's enactment date. The bill modifies Section 480(f)(2) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 to implement this policy change.

HR 1151: Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow’s Workforce Act

This bill expands 529 college savings account flexibility by allowing funds to cover costs for industry-recognized postsecondary credentials, not just traditional degrees. It defines "qualified expenses" to include tuition/fees for recognized credential programs (like certifications or apprenticeships), required testing fees, and continuing education needed to maintain credentials. To qualify, programs must meet specific criteria, such as appearing on state lists under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act or being listed in VA or Defense directories. The change applies to 529 distributions made after the law's enactment, giving families more options to use these accounts for job-focused training.

HR 1125: LOCAL Act

HR 1125, the LOCAL Act, mandates that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) headquarters relocate to Grand Junction, Colorado, and requires all existing BLM employees stationed there to remain in place. The bill also requires the Secretary of the Interior to study relocating additional BLM positions to Grand Junction or other western states within one year, assessing impacts on Federal land management, community coordination, and activities like tourism and conservation. The study must be reported to Congress within 365 days of the bill's enactment. This legislation directly affects BLM operations and employee locations in western states, with no changes to substantive land management policies.

SJRES 17: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture relating to "Law Enforcement; Criminal Prohibitions".

This joint resolution (SJRES 17) seeks to block a specific rule issued by the U.S. Forest Service under the Department of Agriculture. The rule, published in the Federal Register on November 25, 2024, established new criminal prohibitions related to law enforcement activities on federal lands. If passed, this resolution would formally disapprove the rule under Chapter 8 of Title 5, U.S. Code, making the rule legally ineffective and preventing it from taking effect. The resolution directly affects the Forest Service's ability to enforce this particular criminal prohibition rule.

S 460: Supporting Made in America Energy Act

Supporting Made in America Energy Act This bill requires oil and natural gas lease sales that include certain public land and waters, prohibits lease sales in other areas, and establishes related requirements. Beginning in FY2025, the Department of the Interior must conduct a minimum of four onshore lease sales annually in each state that has federal land available for oil and natural gas leasing. If a lease sale is canceled, delayed, or deferred, Interior must conduct a replacement sale during the same year.  Beginning in FY2026, Interior must conduct a minimum of two offshore, region-wide lease sales annually in the Gulf of Mexico Region of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) by specified dates. The sales must include the Central Gulf of Mexico Planning Area and the Western Gulf of Mexico Planning Area. Interior must also conduct a minimum of six offshore lease sales of at least 1 million acres each over a 10-year period in the Cook Inlet Planning Area. The bill sets a 12.5% royalty rate for such leases. Interior must plan and approve the subsequent OCS oil and gas leasing programs by specified deadlines. The bill extends through 2035 a moratorium on oil and gas leasing in certain eastern and central portions of the Gulf of Mexico and expands the moratorium to include the South Atlantic Planning Area and the Straits of Florida Planning Area. The bill also requires the President to obtain congressional approval before impeding or circumventing certain federal energy mineral leasing processes.

S 474: Fair Funding for Rural Hospitals Act

This bill establishes minimum annual funding levels for Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) payments to states, directly affecting rural hospitals and state Medicaid programs. For fiscal years 2025 through 2029, it sets a minimum $20 million DSH allotment per state, and for 2030 onward, it requires states to maintain the prior year's minimum amount adjusted for inflation. The provision prevents states from reducing DSH funding below these specified floors, ensuring consistent support for hospitals serving high numbers of low-income patients. It applies to all states receiving Medicaid DSH payments under federal law.

S 485: Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act of 2025

This bill would require federal agencies to submit detailed reports about new regulations to Congress before they take effect. Major rules (defined as those with an annual economic effect of $100 million or more, or significant effects on competition, employment, or public safety) would need congressional approval via a joint resolution before taking effect, with Congress having 70 days to act. Nonmajor rules would have a different, shorter review process. The bill would also require agencies to publish cost-benefit analyses and other supporting documentation, and would mandate that rules be reviewed and potentially reapproved after 10 years.

HR 1068: PLCAA Federal Jurisdiction Act

This bill amends the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) to allow firearm manufacturers, sellers, and trade associations to move certain civil lawsuits from state courts to federal courts. It gives federal courts the authority to determine if a case falls under the PLCAA's protections and to dismiss it if it does. The key mechanism is automatic removal to federal court for qualified cases, followed by a federal court decision on dismissal. This directly affects gun industry defendants by shifting jurisdiction for specific liability claims away from state courts.

HR 1040: Senior Citizens Tax Elimination Act

HR 1040, the Senior Citizens Tax Elimination Act, would stop taxing Social Security benefits for seniors by repealing the current tax rule that includes some benefits in gross income. It directly affects senior citizens who currently pay federal income tax on portions of their Social Security payments. The bill adds a provision stating Section 86 of the tax code (which taxes Social Security benefits) no longer applies after enactment. To offset the lost tax revenue, the bill requires the government to appropriate funds to the Social Security and Railroad Retirement trust funds, ensuring they remain fully funded without requiring tax increases.
Topics ✓ Budget & TaxesSupports Budget & TaxesBill eliminates tax on Social Security benefits for seniors, providing direct tax relief to lower-income seniors. This alignates with tax relief indicators for middle/lower income groups.90% confidence

These rescinded funds will be deposited into the U.S. Treasury's general fund to reduce the federal deficit. The bill does not alter existing program requirements or affect current EV infrastructure projects, only redirecting unspent allocated funds.
