The Safe Passage to the World Cup Act would restrict federal immigration enforcement activities in cities hosting 2026 FIFA World Cup matches and fan festivals. Specifically, the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice would be prohibited from using federal funds to conduct civil immigration enforcement on public transportation and at transit hubs from June 11 through July 19, 2026, in these host cities. The ban would not apply in emergencies involving threats to life, national security, active criminal pursuits, or destruction of evidence. The bill aims to allow international visitors and the general public to use transit systems without encountering immigration checkpoints during the World Cup tournament period. No specific appropriations are mentioned in the legislation.

This bill aims to strengthen internet freedom for Iranian citizens by coordinating U.S. government efforts to promote access to communication tools that bypass government censorship. The legislation designates the Secretary of State as the lead official for internet freedom initiatives in Iran and requires the State Department to update a comprehensive strategy within 120 days to address satellite communications, VPNs, and other circumvention technologies. The bill also prevents U.S.-licensed satellite and direct-to-cell operators from intentionally blocking coverage over Iran and directs the State Department to establish cybersecurity training and digital safety tools for Iranian journalists, human rights defenders, and civil society activists within 180 days. The bill authorizes $15 million for fiscal years 2027 and 2028 to support these programs and requires regular reporting to Congress. All provisions operate within existing U.S. sanctions laws, meaning nothing in the bill authorizes transactions that are currently prohibited or requires companies to provide services directly in Iran.

The Strengthening Loan Forgiveness for Public Service Workers Act modifies the existing Public Service Loan Forgiveness program to provide faster debt relief for borrowers working in public service jobs. Instead of requiring 120 monthly payments to achieve full forgiveness, the new law allows borrowers with federal student loans taken out after the bill's enactment to receive incremental forgiveness—15 percent after 24 payments, an additional 15 percent after 48 payments, another 15 percent after 72 payments, and the final 40 percent after 96 payments—provided they remain employed in qualifying public service positions throughout. The bill also cancels all accrued interest for each year in which a borrower receives partial forgiveness and requires automatic employment certification through employer verification, reducing the paperwork burden on workers. This change primarily affects new federal student loan borrowers employed as teachers, nurses, social workers, military service members, and other public sector employees, making loan forgiveness more attainable within roughly eight years rather than ten years under current law.

This bill provides for the relief of Miguel Lopez Luvian.

Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act of 2025This bill removes limitations on the civil liability of gun manufacturers and the disclosure of gun trace data in civil actions.Specifically, the bill repeals the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which prohibits civil actions against a firearm or ammunition manufacturer, seller, importer, dealer, or trade association for damages resulting from the criminal or unlawful misuse of a firearm.Additionally, the bill states that firearms trace data maintained by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is not immune from legal process. Such data is subject to discovery; is admissible as evidence; and may be used, relied on, or disclosed in a civil action or administrative proceeding.

The MARSHALS Act would transfer the U.S. Marshals Service from the executive branch (currently under the Attorney General) to the judicial branch, where it would operate under the Chief Justice of the United States. The bill would establish a new governance structure in which the Chief Justice appoints the Marshals Service Director and U.S. marshals for each judicial district, with oversight from a Board composed of the Chief Justice and the Judicial Conference of the United States. The legislation affects federal marshals, judges, and court personnel, as well as law enforcement operations involving fugitive investigations and sex offender tracking. The Marshals Service would continue assisting the Department of Justice on certain matters (like investigating fugitives and unregistered sex offenders) only when the Attorney General requests aid and the Marshals Director approves, and would maintain expanded authority to protect federal judges, court officers, and witnesses from intimidation. The bill contains no new funding authorization or implementation timeline specified in the text provided.

Journalist Protection Act This bill establishes new criminal offenses for intentional acts (or attempts to commit acts) that cause bodily injury to a journalist.

The Right Drug Dose Now Act directs the federal government to modernize how the healthcare system uses pharmacogenomic testing—genetic tests that predict how patients will respond to medications—to prevent dangerous drug reactions. The bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services to update its national adverse drug event prevention plan to incorporate advances in genetic testing technology and research, then issue guidance to doctors, pharmacists, nurses, and other healthcare providers on when and how to use these tests. The legislation also mandates improvements to electronic health records systems so that doctors receive automatic alerts about potential drug-gene interactions before prescribing medications, and it requires updates to the FDA's drug safety reporting system to better track adverse events linked to genetic factors. Key timelines include a 180-day deadline for an initial progress report on the updated national action plan and a one-year deadline for reporting on improvements to the FDA reporting system. The bill does not appear to specify dedicated funding amounts.

Bottles and Breastfeeding Equipment Screening Enhancement ActThis bill directs the Transportation Security Administration to issue or update guidance to minimize the risk for contamination of breast milk, baby formula, purified deionized water for infants, juice, and related products that are subject to re-screening or additional screening, including by ensuring adherence to hygienic standards. Related products include ice packs, freezer packs, frozen gel packs, and other accessories required to cool breast milk, baby formula, and juice.In addition, the bill directs the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General to audit compliance with these requirements and submit a report to Congress.

Preventing Our Next Natural Disaster ActThis bill modifies the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grant program of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).Specifically, the billincreases the amount that may be set aside from FEMA's Disaster Relief Fund for BRIC from 6% to 15% of certain disaster grant amounts;authorizes FEMA to set aside 2% from the BRIC 15% set-aside for assistance with community planning and capacity building;provides a 90% federal cost share for BRIC grants to environmental justice communities, and increases the maximum number of people in small impoverished communities, which are also eligible for the 90% BRIC federal cost share; andauthorizes FEMA to develop guidance regarding how to incorporate climate change into the National Risk Index, benefit-cost analyses, and improved codes, specifications, and standards to address natural hazards.FEMA mustprioritize BRIC assistance for high hazard risk communities, environmental justice communities, communities with low tax revenue base per capita, and communities with a low rate of code adoption and enforcement and infrastructure maintenance expenditures;provide community outreach on project planning and grant administration; andestablish a central federal database to consolidate funding data collected by all local, state, and federal agencies involved in post-disaster response and pre-disaster mitigation spending and categorize the data by type of project, funding source, and hazard types using a user-friendly database and interactive map.
