HR 1415: No IRIS Act of 2025

The No IRIS Act of 2025 (HR 1415) prohibits the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from using scientific assessments generated by its Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) program to develop environmental regulations, enforce laws, issue permits, or inform air toxics mapping tools. This bill directly restricts the EPA’s regulatory process by banning IRIS data from key decision-making steps in environmental rulemaking. The law requires the EPA to rely on alternative scientific data for these purposes, without altering the IRIS program itself. It does not change existing EPA authority but limits how specific assessments may be applied in regulatory actions.

HR 1399: Prior Approval Reform Act

HR 1399, the Prior Approval Reform Act, removes a requirement in federal election law that previously mandated prior approval for certain political solicitations.

This change applies to all solicitations made on or after January 1, 2025, directly affecting political campaigns and committees that conduct fundraising under this provision. The bill makes a procedural adjustment to streamline fundraising processes without altering substantive campaign finance rules.

HR 1363: Honor and Remember Flag Recognition Act

HR 1363 designates the "Honor and Remember Flag" (created by Honor and Remember, Inc.) as the official symbol honoring U.S. military members who died in service. It requires federal locations - including the Capitol, White House, military memorials, VA medical centers, and all post offices - to display this flag on specific days like Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Flag Day. The bill mandates visible public display at these locations and sets deadlines for implementing the requirement (180 days for regulations, 30 days for flag procurement). It does not alter military benefits or create new programs, focusing solely on symbolic recognition through flag display.

HR 1394: CURD Act

This bill defines "natural cheese" in federal law to clarify labeling standards for consumers. It specifies that natural cheese must be made primarily from coagulated milk proteins through traditional methods, while explicitly excluding processed cheeses like American cheese, cheese spreads, and pasteurized blends. The law requires products labeled as "natural cheese" to meet this definition, ensuring consistent labeling nationwide and preventing misleading claims. It directly affects cheese manufacturers, retailers, and consumers by standardizing what can be marketed as natural cheese. The bill aims to increase transparency without changing existing food safety regulations.

HR 349: Goldie’s Act

Goldie's Act This bill expands enforcement provisions under the Animal Welfare Act (AWA). Specifically, the bill directs the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to document and record detailed descriptions of violations of the act observed during inspections and investigations. USDA must provide a copy of all records documenting violations to state, local, and municipal animal control or law enforcement officials within 24 hours of such inspections or investigations. Inspections must be held at least once a year of each research facility, the premises of each animal dealer, and each exhibitor of animals. If violations are found during inspections, then USDA must conduct any necessary follow-up inspections until all the violations are corrected. Inspectors must confiscate or destroy in a humane manner animals found to be suffering physical or psychological harm as a result of failure to comply with the AWA. Violators are subject to civil penalties as outlined in the bill.
