S 293: WALL Act of 2025

The WALL Act of 2025 appropriates $25 billion for constructing a physical barrier along the southern U.S. border. It implements new Social Security number requirements for tax credits like the child tax credit and earned income tax credit, with exceptions for individuals prohibited from working in the U.S. The bill also mandates E-Verify checks for eligibility for certain federal benefits, including housing assistance, and increases civil penalties for illegal entry and overstay. These provisions directly affect immigrants seeking tax benefits, housing assistance, and those who enter the country without authorization.

S 292: Educational Choice for Children Act of 2025

This bill establishes tax credits for individuals and corporations who contribute to scholarship granting organizations that provide educational scholarships for eligible students. The individual tax credit is limited to 10% of adjusted gross income or $5,000, while corporate credits are capped at 5% of taxable income. The bill defines "eligible students" as those from households with income not exceeding 300% of the area median gross income, and specifies that scholarships can cover tuition, materials, tutoring, and educational therapies. The bill includes a $10 billion annual cap on tax credits, with a first-come, first-served allocation system, and requires scholarship organizations to meet specific financial and operational standards.

S 303: Defund the CFPB Act

S 303, the "Defund the CFPB Act," would eliminate all federal funding for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) by amending the 2010 law that created it. The bill specifically changes the funding provision to state the CFPB's budget must be "not more than $0," effectively cutting all financial support. This would directly prevent the CFPB from operating its consumer protection programs, which regulate financial products like mortgages, credit cards, and loans. As a result, consumers relying on the CFPB's enforcement and education efforts would no longer have this federal oversight mechanism.

S 309: A PLUS Act

The A PLUS Act (S 309) allows states to consolidate federal education funds for eligible programs into a single, flexible funding stream, reducing administrative complexity and enabling states to manage resources more efficiently to improve student achievement. States must submit a "declaration of intent" detailing which programs they will consolidate (excluding special education funds), commit to public accountability through annual reports on student progress, and ensure federal funds supplement - rather than replace - state education funding. The bill limits administrative costs to 1% of consolidated federal funds (3% if excluding Title I funds) and requires states to report how funds address achievement gaps for disadvantaged students. This directly affects states and local school districts that adopt the declaration, shifting how they administer and report on federal education dollars.

S 265: Freedom from Government Surveys Act

This bill amends U.S. law to make the American Community Survey (ACS) truly voluntary. It removes penalties for households that refuse to answer ACS questions and requires the Census Bureau to include a clear statement on the survey itself stating participation is voluntary. The bill directly affects all households receiving the ACS, which collects detailed demographic data for communities. Key changes are: (1) eliminating civil penalties for non-response, and (2) mandating a voluntary participation notice on the survey form. These changes apply to the current ACS and any future successor survey.

HR 775: No Net Gain in Federal Lands Act of 2025

HR 775, the No Net Gain in Federal Lands Act of 2025, requires the U.S. Department of the Interior and Department of Agriculture to maintain a "no net gain" in federal land ownership within any state each fiscal year. This means the total acres of federal land acquired (including fee title and other interests) cannot exceed the acres disposed of (sold or transferred) in that state during the same year. The bill mandates annual inventories and reports tracking land holdings by interest type (e.g., fee, easement), and if acquisition exceeds disposal, the President must convey equivalent land to the state within 24 months. It directly affects federal land management agencies and state governments by limiting federal land expansion without corresponding disposal.

HR 810: Personalized Care Act of 2025

HR 810, the Personalized Care Act of 2025, expands Health Savings Account (HSA) eligibility and benefits. It broadens who qualifies for HSAs to include individuals covered by more health plans (like Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE) and health care sharing ministries (section 2). The bill also increases annual HSA contribution limits (to $10,800 for individuals and $29,500 for families) and reduces penalties for non-qualified distributions (section 3, section 7). Additionally, it allows periodic fees paid to physicians for defined medical services and health care sharing ministry fees to be treated as deductible medical expenses (sections 5, 8-9). These changes apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024.

S 263: FAIR Act of 2025

The FAIR Act of 2025 would reform civil forfeiture laws by requiring all property forfeitures to proceed through judicial process rather than administrative decisions, eliminating nonjudicial forfeitures entirely. The bill would change the burden of proof required for forfeiture from "preponderance of evidence" to "clear and convincing evidence" in most cases, and would reduce the government's timeframe to identify property owners from 60 to 7 days after seizure. It would also require courts to consider factors like the seriousness of the offense, the property's connection to the crime, and hardship to the owner when determining forfeiture. This legislation would apply to all pending and future civil forfeiture cases starting from its enactment date.

SCONRES 6: A concurrent resolution expressing the sense of Congress that tax-exempt fraternal benefit societies have historically provided and continue to provide critical benefits to the people and communities of the United States.

This concurrent resolution expresses Congress's sense that tax-exempt fraternal benefit societies - organizations providing life, health, and accident benefits to members - have historically and continue to deliver significant community benefits through charitable programs, volunteer efforts, and mutual aid. It highlights their role in addressing unmet community needs, supporting financial security for members, and contributing an estimated $3.8 billion annually in social value. The resolution affirms that their tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(8) of the Internal Revenue Code is essential to sustaining these services. As a procedural resolution, it does not create new law but formally recognizes these societies' contributions.
