The Capital Lending and Investment for Marijuana Businesses Act (H.R. 7987) would allow banks, investment firms, and other financial institutions to serve cannabis-related businesses without facing federal penalties. Specifically, the bill prohibits federal agencies from punishing individuals or companies that provide standard business services—such as loans, insurance, accounting, legal advice, and real estate—to cannabis companies operating legally under state law. The bill also creates a legal safe harbor allowing national stock exchanges to list and trade securities from cannabis businesses and their service providers, removing barriers that currently prevent these companies from accessing capital markets. The law would take effect 180 days after enactment. Overall, this legislation aims to address a longstanding obstacle for the legal cannabis industry: federal prohibition still prevents many mainstream financial and investment services from serving state-legal cannabis businesses, even though cannabis is legal in numerous states.

Reauthorizing Support and Treatment for Officers in Crisis Act of 2025This bill reauthorizes through FY2029 grants for state and local law enforcement agencies and other organizations to provide family support services and mental health services to law enforcement personnel.

H.R. 4415 would require the U.S. Department of Energy to move the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management from Washington, D.C. to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania by December 31, 2026. This office handles federal policy and programs related to fossil fuel production and carbon capture technology. The bill would affect several hundred federal employees who work in this office and would require them to either relocate to Pittsburgh or leave their positions. Within one year of completing the move, the Secretary of Energy must report to Congress on how many employees left during the relocation, whether the move caused those departures, and how the department plans to address any staffing losses. The legislation does not specify funding amounts for the relocation costs, leaving those details to be determined through the normal budget process.

H.R. 4199, the Modernize the Au Pair Program Act of 2025, clarifies that the Department of State has exclusive authority over the federal au pair program and prevents states and local governments from creating their own conflicting regulations. The bill affects roughly tens of thousands of American host families who participate in the au pair program—including military families, first responders, single parents, and shift workers—as well as the young foreign participants who come to the United States for cultural exchange and childcare work. Within 90 days of passage, the bill requires the Secretary of State to propose new federal rules that modernize the au pair stipend (the payment host families provide participants), increase scheduling flexibility for families with non-traditional work hours, and strengthen the cultural exchange component of the program, while keeping costs affordable for participating families. The bill emphasizes that uniform federal rules are necessary because the au pair program serves important foreign policy objectives and provides critical affordable childcare during a time when childcare shortages cost the U.S. economy an estimated $122 billion annually.

The Rare Earth Magnet Security Act establishes a federal tax credit to incentivize U.S. companies to manufacture high-performance rare earth magnets domestically. Manufacturers will receive $20 per kilogram of rare earth magnets produced in the United States, with a higher credit of $30 per kilogram if at least 90 percent of the component rare earth materials are also sourced domestically. The law applies immediately to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024, but phases out gradually starting in 2035, declining to zero by 2038. Additionally, the legislation restricts the credit for magnets containing rare earth materials sourced from non-allied foreign nations, though it delays this restriction until January 1, 2027 for certain materials like dysprosium and samarium. The credit is designed to strengthen U.S. supply chains and reduce dependence on foreign sources for rare earth magnets, which are critical components in defense systems, renewable energy, and advanced electronics.

Dennis and Lois Krisfalusy ActThis bill expands eligibility for a memorial headstone or marker for the spouse, surviving spouse, child, or dependent of a veteran or member of the Armed Forces.

The bill makes such individuals eligible regardless of the date they died.
