S 1708: Regulatory Accountability Act

The Regulatory Accountability Act establishes new requirements for federal agencies when creating significant regulations. It defines a "major rule" as one likely to cause $100 million or more in annual economic impact, requiring agencies to consider multiple alternatives, conduct cost-benefit analyses, and publish frameworks for assessing the rule's effectiveness. The bill also clarifies that agency guidance documents are not legally binding and must be published in a single online location. These changes apply to most federal agency rulemaking, aiming to increase transparency and accountability in the regulatory process.

S 632: IHS Workforce Parity Act of 2025

The IHS Workforce Parity Act of 2025 amends two key programs supporting healthcare professionals serving Native American communities: the Indian Health Service (IHS) scholarship program and loan repayment program. It allows scholarship and loan recipients to fulfill their service obligations through either full-time practice in IHS settings or half-time practice (with a doubled service period), and for loan recipients, it adds a 50% reduced payment option for half-time service over two years. The bill clarifies that half-time service periods must be converted to full-time equivalents when calculating breach-of-contract penalties. This directly affects healthcare professionals who receive IHS scholarships or loan repayment assistance, providing more flexible practice options while maintaining service requirements.

SJRES 7: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Federal Communications Commission relating to "Addressing the Homework Gap Through the E-Rate Program".

This joint resolution seeks to block a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rule that aimed to expand internet access for schools through the E-Rate program, specifically addressing the "homework gap" by increasing funding for student connectivity. The rule, published in the Federal Register on August 20, 2024, would have modified how schools and libraries access broadband under the E-Rate program. If passed, the resolution would cancel this rule, preventing it from taking effect under federal disapproval procedures. This is a procedural action targeting a specific FCC regulatory change, not a new policy.

HJRES 24: Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Energy relating to "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Walk-In Coolers and Walk-In Freezers".

H.J.Res. 24, enacted May 9, 2025, disapproves a Department of Energy (DOE) rule establishing energy efficiency standards for walk-in coolers and freezers. This resolution, passed under the Congressional Review Act, blocks the rule (published December 23, 2024) from taking effect, meaning the DOE’s proposed standards will have no legal force. The action directly affects commercial food equipment manufacturers and businesses using such cooling systems by preventing the implementation of new energy conservation requirements.

HJRES 20: Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Energy relating to "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Consumer Gas-fired Instantaneous Water Heaters".

This resolution blocks a Department of Energy rule that would have set new energy efficiency standards for gas-fired instant water heaters. It prevents the rule from taking effect, meaning appliance manufacturers would not have to meet the proposed efficiency requirements. The rule, submitted in December 2024, directly affected manufacturers of these water heaters and consumers purchasing them. Congress approved this disapproval through a joint resolution passed on May 9, 2025.

HR 3321: Ending Medicaid Discrimination Against the Most Vulnerable Act

This bill phases out enhanced federal funding for Medicaid in states that expanded coverage under the Affordable Care Act. It gradually reduces the federal share of Medicaid costs for states that expanded coverage, decreasing the percentage each year from 2027 through 2034 before returning to standard funding levels after 2035. The change directly affects low-income residents in expansion states who rely on Medicaid, as states will pay more for their coverage over time. Non-expansion states (those that haven't expanded Medicaid) are exempt from these reductions, and expansion states can choose to limit coverage to individuals at or below 100% of the federal poverty line to maintain the higher federal funding rate.

SRES 212: A resolution affirming the acceptable outcome of any nuclear deal between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran, and for other purposes.

SRES 212 is a non-binding Senate resolution affirming that any U.S.-Iran nuclear agreement must require Iran to completely dismantle its nuclear program and adopt strict international inspections. It specifies that acceptable outcomes include Iran disclosing all nuclear activities, allowing unimpeded IAEA access to all sites for verification, and permanently forgoing uranium enrichment and reprocessing. The resolution also mandates that any future U.S.-Iran agreement (a "123 Agreement") must include these safeguards. This resolution expresses the Senate's position on non-negotiable terms for nuclear diplomacy but does not create new law or policy.

S 1678: Securing America's Ports of Entry Act of 2025

S 1678, the Securing America's Ports of Entry Act of 2025, requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to hire 1,000 additional officers annually until staffing meets annual workload needs based on traffic data, including seasonal surges and pre-pandemic trends. It mandates a report identifying infrastructure upgrades to improve opioid interdiction at ports, including technology gaps and safety equipment for officers. The bill also imposes new reporting requirements for temporary officer reassignments, agreements with ports, and annual progress on staffing targets. These changes directly affect CBP officers, port facilities, and the legislative committees overseeing border security operations.

S 1688: Growing America’s Small Businesses and Manufacturing Act

This bill increases tax deductions for small businesses and manufacturers by raising limits on expensing equipment and assets. It permanently extends a business interest deduction rule and boosts the Section 179 deduction cap from $1 million to $2.5 million (with the phaseout threshold rising from $2.5 million to $4 million). The changes apply to property placed in service after December 31, 2024, and include inflation adjustments starting in 2025. These provisions directly benefit eligible small businesses and manufacturers by reducing their taxable income when purchasing qualifying equipment.

S 1637: MVP Act

Medicaid VBPs for Patients Act or the MVP Act This bill provides statutory authority for regulations that allow for the use of varying best price points under value-based purchasing arrangements for purposes of the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program. ( Value-based purchasing arrangements refer to arrangements in which the price of a drug is linked to clinical outcomes; such arrangements are particularly used for new high-cost treatments, such as gene therapies.) The Government Accountability Office must study the impact of value-based purchasing arrangements on federal health care programs, including with respect to the bill's changes. Additionally, the bill (1) exempts sales of drugs that are made under value-based purchasing arrangements from calculations of the manufacturer average sales price for purposes of payments under Medicare medical services, if the manufacturer reports multiple best prices under Medicaid in accordance with the bill's changes; and (2) requires the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to issue guidance on how state Medicaid programs may cover drugs in inpatient settings via value-based purchasing arrangements.

S 1639: American Innovation and Jobs Act

This bill allows businesses to immediately deduct research and development (R&D) costs instead of spreading them over 60 months, directly benefiting companies investing in innovation. It increases the refundable R&D credit cap for small businesses from $250,000 to $750,000 over time, with specific phase-in amounts starting in 2025. Additionally, it expands access for startups by raising the gross receipts threshold for eligibility from $5 million to $15 million and increasing credit rates for qualified small businesses. These changes aim to make R&D tax incentives more accessible and valuable for smaller companies and new ventures.
