The Replacement Parts Availability Act clarifies rules for how replacement parts are regulated under federal environmental law. Specifically, it amends the Toxic Substances Control Act to exempt replacement parts for complex durable goods (like appliances and vehicles) and complex consumer goods from chemical regulations, unless the Environmental Protection Agency proves through a risk evaluation that the replacement parts themselves significantly contribute to public health risks. The bill also prevents the EPA from restricting the manufacture or import of chemicals needed to make these exempt replacement parts, and requires any new restrictions on replacement parts to include a transition period of at least 10 years before taking effect. The legislation would primarily benefit manufacturers and consumers by providing more certainty about the availability of replacement parts for existing products, while maintaining EPA's ability to regulate parts that pose genuine safety concerns.

The Special Operator Protection Act of 2026 creates a new federal crime specifically targeting "doxing"—the public disclosure of personal information—of special operations military personnel and certain other military and law enforcement officials. The bill protects members of special operations forces, designated Department of Defense employees involved in sensitive activities, and federal law enforcement officers working with special operators by making it illegal to publicly share their restricted personal information, including their names linked to employment, photos, home addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, and biometric data. A person commits this crime if they knowingly release such information with the intent to threaten, intimidate, or incite violence against these individuals or their families, or knowing the information will be used for those purposes. Violators face up to 5 years in prison and fines, with penalties increasing to up to life imprisonment if the doxing results in death or serious bodily injury. The bill does not specify funding amounts or implementation timelines beyond immediate enactment.

Next Generation 9–1–1 ActThis bill establishes a grant program to support implementation of next generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) systems by state, territorial, and tribal governments and requires other related activities. NG9-1-1 means a secure, interoperable, Internet Protocol-based (IP-based) system for receiving 9-1-1 requests for emergency assistance. (IP-based 9-1-1 systems have capabilities that legacy telephone systems do not, including enhanced location-finding and the ability to receive text and multimedia messages.)Under the bill, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) must provide grants to state, territorial, and tribal governments (and entities established by those governments) to support the implementation and maintenance of NG9-1-1 systems. Grant funds may also be used for public outreach on NG9-1-1, implementation of cybersecurity measures, and, subject to certain limits, training and administrative costs.Entities applying for grants must submit a plan for NG9-1-1 coordination and implementation that ensures interoperability and reliability, incorporates cybersecurity tools, and meets other requirements related to technology and procurement. Applicants must also certify that they have established, or will establish within a specified time frame, a sustainable funding mechanism to support NG9-1-1 and effective cybersecurity resources.The NTIA must advise applicants on the preparation of implementation plans and provide technical assistance to grant recipients.Further, the NTIA must establish (1) an advisory board to provide recommendations with respect to the grant program and other topics related to NG9-1-1; and (2) a cybersecurity center to coordinate with state, local, and regional governments on the sharing of cybersecurity information related to NG9-1-1.

The Reducing Antiquated Permitting for Infrastructure Deployment Act aims to speed up deployment of small wireless service facilities by exempting them from two major federal review processes: the National Environmental Policy Act and the National Historic Preservation Act. The bill defines "small" wireless facilities as those with antennas no larger than 3 cubic feet in volume and applies to cellular networks, broadband, and similar wireless services. A key provision establishes that if Native American tribes don't respond within 45 days to Federal Communications Commission notifications about potential impacts to historic or culturally significant tribal sites, they are presumed to have waived their review rights—though tribes can overcome this presumption under certain circumstances. The legislation contains no new funding allocations but seeks to reduce permitting timelines for wireless infrastructure projects by eliminating lengthy environmental and historical reviews that typically apply to major federal actions.

Reforming and Enhancing Sustainable Updates to Laboratory Testing Services Act of 2025 or the RESULTS ActThis bill requires the use of particular data from the private sector to inform Medicare payment rates for certain widely available laboratory tests. Specifically, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) must contract with an entity that maintains a database of claims data for clinical diagnostic laboratory tests that (1) are not advanced diagnostic tests, and (2) were furnished by more than 100 providers and suppliers of such services over a specified six-month period (i.e., widely available tests).The database must meet specified requirements, such as having data that is representative of the entire country and from more than 50 private payors and claims administrators. The contracted entity must be a nonprofit entity that is not affiliated with any government agency, any insurance issuer or provider, or any other organization in the health care sector. Beginning January 1, 2028, the CMS must use the information obtained from the database to inform Medicare payment rates for these widely available laboratory tests. The bill additionally specifies processes for determining payment rates for laboratory tests that are not advanced diagnostic tests, are not widely available, and lack adequate claims data. The CMS must use certain existing processes to set appropriate rates.The bill also delays scheduled payment reductions for laboratory tests until 2028 and allows for judicial and administrative review of payment rates.

Improving Interagency Coordination for Pipeline Reviews ActThis bill expedites the environmental review of certain natural gas pipeline projects or liquefied natural gas (LNG) import or export terminals for authorizations under the Natural Gas Act.Specifically, the bill makes the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) the only lead agency for the purpose of coordinating the environmental review of such projects under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). Thus, agencies involved in the environmental review process must defer to FERC's approved scope for a NEPA review.FERC must invite certain federal, state, local, or tribal governmental agencies to participate in the review process for an authorization and designate the applicable governments as participating agencies by deadlines established by the bill. In addition, FERC must consult with the Transportation Security Administration regarding various pipeline security measures.The bill prohibits FERC from establishing a deadline for authorizing a project that is more than 90 days after the completion of the NEPA review. It also requires concurrent reviews when multiple federal or state agencies are involved.Applicants for projects do not have to obtain a water quality certification from states under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. FERC must coordinate its NEPA review with states where a potential discharge into navigable waters may occur.If a federal or state agency requires an applicant for a pipeline authorization to submit data, the agency must consider any such data gathered by aerial or other remote means that is submitted.

H.R. 3443 establishes a new Medicare payment model and comprehensive review of emergency medical services (EMS) funding. The bill creates a five-year pilot program that provides supplemental payments to ambulance services for life-saving medications—including epinephrine, fentanyl, and blood products—needed by paramedics during emergencies, with the goal of ensuring these critical supplies are always available without medication shortages forcing protocol changes. The pilot will include at least one EMS agency in each of the 10 federal health regions and will gather data on whether these supplemental payments improve patient outcomes, especially for rural and underserved communities. Additionally, the bill requires the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission to submit a report within two years analyzing whether current Medicare payments to EMS providers adequately compensate paramedics and medical directors, and whether EMS agencies should be formally recognized as Medicare providers. The bill also directs the Department of Health and Human Services to issue guidance on reducing "wall time"—delays exceeding 30 minutes when EMS personnel hand off patients to hospital staff—and report back to Congress on whether the guidance decreases these dangerous delays.

This bill prohibits federal agencies from using estimates of the "social cost of carbon" and similar greenhouse gas measurements when making regulatory decisions, writing rules, issuing guidance, or conducting cost-benefit analyses. The social cost calculations—which attempt to quantify the economic damages caused by greenhouse gas emissions—have been used by agencies like the EPA since 2009 to justify environmental regulations. Under this legislation, agencies would be banned from considering these monetary damage estimates in any regulatory action or analysis, effectively removing a key analytical tool from the federal rulemaking process. Within 120 days of enactment, all federal agencies must report to Congress detailing how many regulations, guidance documents, and agency actions since 2009 have relied on these social cost measurements. The bill would apply to all federal agencies across the government.

The School Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (SIFIA Act) creates a new tax credit bond program to finance public school construction and renovation projects. Under the program, private for-profit companies can partner with school districts to build, expand, or renovate school buildings that meet net-zero energy standards, then operate and eventually transfer them to the school district. Investors who hold these bonds receive a quarterly federal tax credit equal to 25 percent of an annual credit based on the bond's face amount, with the credit calculated to allow bonds to be issued without interest costs to school districts. The program is capped at $10 billion in total bonds ($2.5 billion per year through 2030), with $1 billion reserved for rural areas, and individual school districts limited to $1.5 billion in bonds. To participate, private developers must demonstrate experience with similar net-zero school projects and have maintained certain building systems for at least four years, while the Treasury Department can directly purchase unsold bonds to ensure financing availability.

National Emergency Medical Services Memorial Extension ActThis bill reauthorizes the National Emergency Medical Services Memorial Foundation to establish in Washington, DC, a monument to commemorate the commitment and service represented by emergency medical services. This authorization expires seven years after enactment of the bill.

Streamlining Program Efficiency and Expanding Deployment for BEAD Act or the SPEED for BEAD ActThis bill makes certain changes to the Broadband, Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program, including by expanding the broadband technologies that may qualify for funding and prohibiting states from regulating broadband rates in connection with the program. (The BEAD Program is administered by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and provides funding to eligible entities for broadband deployment, connectivity, mapping, and adoption projects. Eligible entities include U.S. states, territories, and the District of Columbia.) Specifically, the bill establishes that projects using any broadband technology (e.g., satellite, fixed wireless, or fiber) may qualify for funding, provided the technology meets specified performance criteria. (Original BEAD rules established a preference for fiber projects.)The bill also explicitly prohibits eligible entities from regulating, setting, or otherwise mandating pursuant to the BEAD Program (1) rates charged for broadband service, or (2) methodologies used to calculate such rates. The prohibition includes rate regulation carried out in conjunction with the existing requirement that subgrantees offer at least one low-cost broadband service option to certain subscribers. Further, the bill prohibits the NTIA and eligible entities from establishing or enforcing conditions, preferences, or other requirements related to collective bargaining and labor agreements; climate change; diversity, equity, and inclusion; and other topics. The bill also modifies the purposes for which the funds may be used and the treatment of unused funds. Finally, the bill replaces the term Equity in the program’s name with Expansion.

Preserving Life-saving Access to Specialty Medicines in America Act or the PLASMA ActThis bill phases-in certain price adjustments for plasma-derived products under the Medicare prescription drug benefit's Manufacturer Discount Program.Current law requires manufacturers of covered drugs under the Medicare prescription drug benefit to provide a 10% discount for covered drugs during the initial coverage phase (i.e., before a beneficiary reaches the out-of-pocket spending threshold) and a 20% discount during the catastrophic coverage phase (i.e., after a beneficiary reaches the out-of-pocket spending threshold). The bill phases-in discounts for plasma-derived products over several years, starting with a 1% discount in 2026 for both the initial and catastrophic coverage phases, and ending with a 10% discount beginning in 2030 for the initial coverage phase and a 20% discount beginning in 2032 for the catastrophic coverage phase.

Protect Medicaid Act This bill prohibits federal payment under Medicaid for the administrative costs of providing health benefits to noncitizens who are ineligible for Medicaid based on their immigration status. The Department of Health and Human Services must report on specified information regarding states that provide health benefits to such individuals.

Love Lives On Act of 2025This bill extends entitlement for various benefit programs and services for surviving spouses of deceased members of the Armed Forces or veterans.The bill provides that the remarriage of a surviving spouse must not bar the furnishing of dependency and indemnity compensation or special pension benefits to such spouse.Additionally, the Department of Defense may not terminate the payment of an annuity for a surviving spouse under the Survivor Benefit Plan solely because the surviving spouse remarries.The bill also expands the definition of a dependent under TRICARE to include a remarried widow or widower whose subsequent marriage has ended due to death, divorce, or annulment.

Congressional Award Program Reauthorization ActThis bill reauthorizes through FY2028 the board that administers the Congressional Award Program, which promotes and recognizes service, initiative, and achievement in America's youth. The reauthorization is effective as if enacted on October 1, 2023. The bill also removes a requirement for program medals to consist of gold-plate over bronze, rhodium over bronze, or bronze.

Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity ActThis bill establishes a federal statutory framework to regulate the carry or possession of concealed firearms across state lines.Specifically, an individual who is eligible to carry a concealed firearm in one state may carry or possess a concealed handgun (other than a machine gun or destructive device) in another state that allows its residents to carry concealed firearms.It sets forth requirements for lawful concealed carry across state lines. The bill preempts most state and local laws related to concealed carry and establishes a private right of action for a person adversely affected by interference with a concealed-carry right established by this bill.
