This resolution reaffirms that the founding principles of American democracy—that all people are created equal and governments derive power from the consent of the governed—should apply to the 3.6 million residents of U.S. territories including Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands. The resolution highlights that these residents pay over $5 billion annually in federal taxes, serve in the armed forces at high rates, but are largely denied voting rights in presidential elections and access to major federal programs like Medicaid and food assistance. The resolution rejects the "Insular Cases," a series of early 1900s Supreme Court decisions that the House characterizes as based on racist reasoning and that have historically allowed Congress to deny full constitutional rights to territorial residents. Rather than proposing specific legislation, the resolution expresses the House's support for democracy and self-determination in the territories while explicitly taking no position on whether they should pursue statehood, independence, or another political status.

This bill designates the Christiansted Bandstand at the Christiansted National Historic Site in St. Croix, Virgin Islands, as the "Peter G. Thurland, Sr., Bandstand" in honor of the local musician and community leader.

After his naval service, he founded and conducted the St. Croix Community Band starting in 1938, training young musicians and hosting free monthly concerts at the bandstand until his retirement in 1968. The bill contains no funding requirements or implementation timelines, as it is purely a commemorative designation recognizing Thurland's contributions to music and his community. All future government references to the bandstand will officially use his name.

Overall, the law aims to make it easier for schools to buy from local farmers while supporting small-scale agricultural producers and improving nutrition education for students.

These changes aim to address healthcare workforce shortages in U.S. territories by directing more resources and opportunities toward territory-based health professions training programs. The amendments take effect on October 1, 2025, giving territories immediate access to the set-aside funding and expanded eligibility.

This bill extends and strengthens preferential trade benefits for Haitian imports to the United States under the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act.

The 15-member task force, composed of House and Senate members from both parties, will investigate how territorial residents are restricted from voting in presidential elections and from having full representation in Congress, examine the economic and social impacts of these voting restrictions, and recommend potential changes to grant them equal voting rights. The task force must provide Congress with a status update within six months and issue a final report with findings and recommendations within one year, then dissolve. The legislation uses existing congressional resources rather than requesting new funding, and aims to address concerns raised by territorial residents who serve in the military at high rates but lack full electoral participation.

Broadband Internet for Small Ports ActThis bill establishes priority for broadband projects near rural maritime ports under the Department of Agriculture (USDA) rural broadband grant and loan program, and makes other specified changes to the program’s structure and available support. Under current law, the rural broadband program provides grants, loans, and loan guarantees for the construction, improvement, and acquisition of broadband facilities and equipment in rural areas. The bill adjusts the level of priority given to certain categories of projects, including through the establishment of a new priority for projects that would increase broadband service in ports and shore-side facilities in rural areas. The bill also makes changes to the program’s parameters, including by changing available grant amounts and increasing the percentage of households in a community that must be unserved or underserved with broadband in order for projects in the community to qualify for loans or loan guarantees. Further, as a condition of receiving support, recipients must share with USDA geolocation information on new or upgraded broadband service established under the program. For proposed projects given high priority, the bill requires USDA to confirm that the relevant communities are currently unserved by conferring with relevant federal agencies and other broadband service data sources, and by performing site-specific testing to verify the unavailability of residential broadband service. Finally, the bill requires USDA to provide feedback and decisions to applicants in a timely manner, and to use certain program funds for oversight and accountability measures.

Territorial Economic Recovery ActThis bill excludes the income of certain controlled foreign corporations in U.S. territories from the calculation of global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) for federal tax purposes.Under current law, a U.S. shareholder of a controlled foreign corporation is required to include in gross income the GILTI of the shareholder. The calculation of GILTI is based, in part, on the controlled foreign corporation’s tested income (the controlled foreign corporation’s gross income less certain exclusions).Under the bill, the income from a qualified possession corporation that is effectively connected with an active trade or business within a U.S. territory (Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands) is excluded from gross income for purposes of calculating a controlled foreign corporation’s tested income.The bill defines a qualified possession corporation as any controlled foreign corporation if, for a three-year period ending in the prior tax year (or for the existence of the controlled foreign corporation if less than three years) (1) 80% or more of the controlled foreign corporation’s gross income was derived from a U.S. territory, and (2) 75% or more of the controlled foreign corporation’s gross income was effectively connected to the active conduct of a trade or business within a U.S. territory.

Territorial Tax Equity and Economic Growth Act of 2025This bill lowers the residency requirements and modifies the income sourcing rules related to taxation of income from U.S. territories.Currently, bona fide residents of a U.S. territory may exclude income sourced to the territory in calculating U.S. federal income tax. A bona fide resident of a territory is a person that, in part, is present in the territory for at least 183 days in a tax year. Income is sourced to a U.S. territory if it is not U.S.-sourced income or effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business.This billreduces the presence requirement to 122 days,specifies that income is U.S.-sourced income or effectively connected to a U.S. trade or business only if attributable to an office or fixed place of business in the United States, andspecifies that income from U.S.-based activities that are preparatory or auxiliary may not be considered U.S.-sourced income.Currently, income from certain personal property sales from a fixed place of business in a U.S. territory by a U.S. resident may be U.S.-sourced income unless an income tax of at least 10% is paid to the U.S. territory. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) may limit the 10% tax payment requirement related to income from personal property sales in Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Puerto Rico. This bill expands the IRS’s authority to include limiting the tax requirement for personal property sales in the Virgin Islands.

Territorial Tax Equity Parity Act of 2025This bill modifies the income sourcing rules related to taxation of income from U.S. territories.Under the bill, income is U.S.-sourced income or effectively connected to a U.S. trade or business only if attributable to an office or fixed place of business in the United States.

Specifically, the bill amends the tax code to require that all federal excise taxes collected on fuel produced in the Virgin Islands and shipped to the United States be paid directly to the Virgin Islands government instead of going into the U.S. Treasury. The change would affect fuel producers and distributors in the territory, as well as the Virgin Islands' finances.

Territorial Tax Parity and Fairness Act This bill excepts individuals who are bona fide residents of the Virgin Islands from including in gross income for U.S. federal tax purposes subpart F income received from certain corporations if such income may be sourced to the Virgin Islands.Under current law, a U.S. shareholder of a controlled foreign corporation generally is required to include in gross income their pro rata share of dividends, interest, rent, royalties, and certain other types of income of the controlled foreign corporation (collectively known as subpart F income). A U.S. shareholder is a U.S. person (citizen, resident, domestic partnership or corporation, trust, or estate) that owns a certain percentage of stock in the controlled foreign corporation.However, under current law, the definition of a U.S. person does not include individuals who are bona fide residents of the U.S. territories of Puerto Rico, Guam, America Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands who receive subpart F income from controlled foreign corporations that meets certain requirements for being sourced to the territory or being connected to or derived from a trade or business in the territory.This bill expands the exceptions from the definition of a U.S. person for purposes of the subpart F income tax rules, to include individuals who are bona fide residents of the Virgin Islands and receive subpart F income from a controlled foreign corporation organized under the laws of the Virgin Islands if the subpart F income may be sourced to the Virgin Islands.
