This bill authorizes the Treasury Department to loan $3 billion per year to the United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Fund for fiscal years 2027, 2028, and 2029, ensuring that the full borrowed amount is distributed to victims each year rather than being held in reserve. The legislation is named after Joseph D. Mistrulli and Alan Kleinberg, victims of terrorism attacks. The loans will bear interest at Treasury-determined rates and must be repaid using criminal and civil fines, penalties, and forfeitures from cases involving state sponsors of terrorism after the fund expires. The borrowing authority sunsets on September 30, 2029, though borrowed funds remain available until spent and subject to repayment obligations. This measure treats the borrowed funds as direct spending rather than a new appropriation, allowing immediate distribution to terrorism victims without requiring additional congressional appropriations.

This bill allows employees to make one-time withdrawals from their employer-sponsored transportation benefits accounts without facing the usual tax penalties. Specifically, employees can withdraw money that accumulated in their commuter benefits accounts between March 13, 2020, and December 31, 2023, up to the highest balance the account held during that period. The withdrawal must occur within six months of the bill's enactment. Any money withdrawn will be taxed as regular income for that year, but employees can continue using their accounts normally for future transportation expenses. The legislation primarily benefits workers who set aside pre-tax income for transit passes, parking, and other commuting costs and accumulated unused balances during the pandemic period when many people worked remotely.

The Cost of Living Tax Cut Act would adjust federal income tax brackets based on regional differences in the cost of living across the United States. Starting in 2027, the bill would modify tax rates for individuals living in high-cost areas by applying multipliers to tax brackets, meaning residents of expensive regions could potentially pay taxes on higher income thresholds. The adjustment formula would provide multipliers based on how a region's cost of living compares to the national average, with areas significantly above average (125 percent or more) receiving a 90 percent adjustment factor, moderate areas getting a 1.05 multiplier, and lower-cost areas receiving a 1.0 multiplier. The Secretary of Commerce would publish annual cost-of-living indexes for each metropolitan statistical area and non-metropolitan region of each state, and the Secretary of the Treasury would set the applicable multipliers by December 15 each year for the following tax year. The bill contains no explicit funding mechanism, as it operates through the existing tax code rather than direct appropriations.

This bill designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 80 Atlantic Avenue in Oceanside, New York, as the "Detective Luis G. Alvarez Post Office".

The Passenger Rail Crew Protection Act makes it a federal crime to assault or intimidate crew members working on passenger trains, bringing rail workers under the same legal protections currently afforded to airline crew members. The law applies to anyone who commits assault against engineers, conductors, station workers, or other safety-sensitive employees on intercity or commuter rail lines, whether the assault occurs onboard a train, on a platform, or in a rail station. Penalties range from up to six months in jail and fines for basic assault, up to one year for striking or wounding a crew member, and up to ten or twenty years depending on aggravating factors such as use of a dangerous weapon, intent to cause bodily harm, resulting serious injury, or intent to commit murder. The bill was introduced in May 2026 and referred to the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the Judiciary Committee for consideration. No specific funding authorization is included in the legislation.

This bill requires the Attorney General to produce a comprehensive report on how to address mental health stigma among law enforcement officers and encourage them to seek help. The report, due within 270 days of the law's enactment, must identify effective strategies and best practices for reducing mental health stigma, promoting access to mental health screening and peer counseling, and protecting the confidentiality of mental health services for officers. The Attorney General must consult with other federal agencies including the FBI and the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, as well as stakeholders such as law enforcement agencies, mental health organizations, and labor representatives. The bill applies to all types of law enforcement officers including police, corrections, probation, and parole officers. The legislation does not appropriate any specific funding and focuses solely on gathering information and recommendations rather than establishing new programs or services.

The Safe Tracks Act directs the Secretary of Transportation to strengthen safety requirements for train dispatching and traffic control systems used by railroads. Specifically, the bill requires the Department of Transportation to update federal regulations within 30 days of the law's enactment to apply existing safety standards (found in the Federal Railroad Administration's regulations) to both current and future centralized computer-aided train-dispatching systems and centralized traffic control boards. This legislation affects railroads that operate these systems, as they will need to comply with the enhanced safety requirements. The bill contains no specific funding provisions or extended timelines, instead focusing on regulatory changes to ensure consistent safety oversight of the computerized systems that control train movements and rail traffic.

The CAR SEAT Act directs the Secretary of Transportation to launch a nationwide education campaign warning the public about dangerous counterfeit and noncompliant child car seats and booster seats that don't meet federal safety standards. The campaign must begin within one year of the law's enactment and will teach parents and caregivers how to identify and avoid these unsafe products. The bill also expands existing highway safety programs to include public education activities focused on this issue. Congress has authorized $1.5 million in funding for the campaign, which will remain available until spent. This legislation affects families with young children across the country by helping them make safer choices when purchasing child restraint systems.

H.R. 7275 requires the federal government to ensure that Center Weather Service Units—facilities that provide critical weather information to air traffic control—have adequate staffing levels to safely manage aircraft operations. The bill amends existing aviation law to mandate coordination between the National Weather Service, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the unions representing air traffic controllers and weather service employees to determine and maintain proper staffing levels. The Secretary of Transportation must submit a detailed report to Congress within 180 days of the law's enactment and annually thereafter on how these staffing requirements are being implemented. The legislation directly affects weather service employees, air traffic control workers, and ultimately the safety and efficiency of commercial and general aviation operations. No specific funding amounts are mentioned in the bill; instead, it focuses on requiring better coordination and accountability through regular congressional reporting.

This bill amends the 2024 FAA Reauthorization Act to help military air traffic controllers transition into civilian jobs at the Federal Aviation Administration. Specifically, it requires a joint aviation employment training working group to develop recommendations for moving Department of Defense air traffic control specialists into FAA positions as controllers, managers, and supervisors. The bill also directs the working group to identify and address barriers that prevent the FAA from hiring these military specialists, including differences in training standards, terminology, technology systems, and credentials between military and civilian roles. The legislation affects military personnel with air traffic control experience who are leaving the armed forces and the FAA, which needs to fill vacant controller positions. There is no specific funding amount or implementation timeline included in the bill text.

The Drunk Driving Prevention and Enforcement Act of 2025 establishes three main programs to reduce drunk and impaired driving deaths, which claim over 12,000 lives annually. First, it creates a $45 million competitive prize competition administered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to accelerate development of consumer-ready, passive anti-drunk driving technology—such as breath or touch sensors—that can be integrated into new vehicles. Second, the bill establishes a Traffic Safety Enforcement Center of Excellence within the Department of Transportation to provide technical assistance, training, and data-driven strategies to state and local law enforcement agencies to improve traffic safety enforcement. Third, it creates a national drug-involved crash data collection system to track the role of drugs other than alcohol in serious and fatal crashes, establishing model protocols and awarding grants to states for toxicology labs and data systems. The legislation authorizes a total of $85 million in Highway Trust Fund spending through fiscal year 2031, with most funding expiring by 2028 for the prize competition.

This bill amends the National Quantum Initiative Act to expand federal support for regional innovation in quantum information science and technology. Specifically, it adds the Economic Development Administration to the interagency committee overseeing quantum initiatives and directs federal agencies—particularly the Departments of Commerce and Energy and the National Science Foundation—to collaborate on supporting regional quantum innovation hubs. These hubs would focus on building research capacity, entrepreneurship, and education in geographic regions with existing quantum strengths to address regional and national challenges. The bill ties this support to existing funding mechanisms established under the Research and Development, Competition, and Innovation Act, though it does not specify new funding amounts or timelines. The legislation effectively shifts the National Quantum Initiative from a purely research-focused program toward a more geographically distributed approach that emphasizes economic development and regional competitiveness.

The Coastal Infrastructure Improvement Act directs the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to establish a six-year research program testing new technologies to prevent coastal erosion and flooding. The program will focus on nature-based and hybrid approaches—such as biomimetic methods that mimic natural processes—as alternatives to traditional hardened structures like seawalls that can damage local ecosystems and worsen erosion elsewhere. The Secretary of the Army will conduct testing across diverse geographic locations in consultation with relevant federal agencies and states, examining the cost, durability, and effectiveness of these stabilization techniques. At the end of the six-year period, the Army Corps must submit a comprehensive report to Congress evaluating the program's results and recommending whether to continue it. The bill authorizes funding subject to congressional appropriations but does not specify a dollar amount.

The Feed Hungry Kids Act would lower the income threshold required for schools to provide free meals to all students in high-poverty areas. Currently, schools must have at least 40 percent of students eligible for free or reduced-price meals to offer universal meal service; this bill would reduce that threshold to 25 percent, making it easier for schools serving lower-income communities to qualify for the program. The change takes effect for the 2025-2026 school year and beyond. This legislation would expand access to free meals for students in more schools across the country, particularly benefiting children in moderate-to-high poverty areas. The bill was introduced in September 2025 and referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.

H.R. 4019, known as Gio's Law, establishes a federal grant program to help state and local law enforcement agencies obtain epinephrine products and train officers to administer them during anaphylactic reactions. The Attorney General would develop standardized training curricula within 180 days and distribute grants to police departments and tribal law enforcement agencies that apply and certify their officers have legal protection from liability when administering epinephrine. The bill authorizes $25 million annually from 2026 through 2030 for purchasing epinephrine auto-injectors and other delivery devices as well as officer training. Additionally, the Attorney General and Health and Human Services Secretary must launch a public awareness campaign within 180 days explaining anaphylaxis symptoms and the role of law enforcement in emergency response. The legislation also requires annual reporting to Congress on how often law enforcement officers administer epinephrine across federal, state, local, and tribal agencies.

The Traffic Safety Enhancement Act of 2025 amends federal transportation law to allow roundabouts to be built as eligible projects under the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program, which provides federal funding to states and localities for road and highway improvements. This change expands what types of traffic safety infrastructure projects can receive federal dollars, potentially making it easier for communities to invest in roundabouts as an alternative intersection design. The bill affects state departments of transportation and local governments that manage road construction and safety projects. While the legislation text provided does not specify new funding amounts or implementation timelines, it allows existing federal transportation grant money to support roundabout construction, which traffic safety experts generally view as beneficial for reducing crash severity at intersections.

The Youth Suicide Prevention Research Act expands a federal research program focused on understanding and preventing suicide among young people. The bill amends an existing law to direct the National Science Foundation to include two new research areas: how adverse childhood experiences contribute to youth suicide risk, and how toxic stress during childhood affects suicide prevention. The legislation targets research funding toward better understanding these specific childhood factors that may play a role in suicide, aiming to improve prevention efforts. Representatives Gillen and Begich introduced the bill on April 3, 2025, and it was referred to the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology for consideration. While the summary provided does not specify new funding amounts or implementation timelines, the bill essentially broadens the scope of an existing suicide prevention research program to prioritize childhood-related causes.

The Access to Family Building Act would establish a federal right for individuals to access assisted reproductive technology (fertility treatments) without unreasonable restrictions, and for healthcare providers to offer these services without excessive burdens. The bill prohibits states and localities from enacting limitations on fertility treatment that are more restrictive than those placed on comparable medical procedures or that don't meaningfully advance safety or health. Individuals, healthcare providers, and the federal Attorney General could sue to enforce these rights, with courts awarding attorney fees and costs to prevailing plaintiffs. The bill would supersede most conflicting state and federal laws, though it preserves states' ability to enforce legitimate health and safety regulations and does not require insurance companies to cover fertility treatments. The Secretary of Health and Human Services would have one year after enactment to issue implementing regulations.

This bill directs the Department of Homeland Security to designate Haiti for temporary protected status (TPS) for 18 months beginning August 3, 2025. (Eligible nationals of a TPS-designated country may obtain employment authorization, may not be detained on the basis of their immigration status, and are not subject to removal while they retain TPS.)
