This bill requires federal agencies to use AI systems to annually identify redundant or outdated regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations. It directs the Office of Management and Budget, with National Institute of Standards and Technology guidance, to implement an AI review process meeting strict standards for accuracy and security. Agencies must then review identified regulations within 30 days, either rescinding redundant rules or amending outdated ones - bypassing standard procedural requirements under Title 5 of the U.S. Code. The law mandates public posting of determinations and allows expedited action through amendments to federal regulation procedures. It directly affects all federal agencies responsible for creating or maintaining regulations.
HR 2337, the PARENT Act of 2025, would change U.S. birthright citizenship rules by requiring that a person born in the United States must have at least one parent who is either a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident (green card holder) at the time of the child's birth. This bill would affect only individuals born in the U.S. after the law takes effect, altering their automatic citizenship status under current law. The key provision amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to define "subject to the jurisdiction" for citizenship purposes to require one parent meeting these specific status criteria. The law would not apply to people born before its enactment date.
Fairness for High-Skilled Americans Act of 2025 This bill eliminates the Optional Practical Training Program or any successor program, unless Congress expressly authorizes such a program. (The program provides an F-1 student visa holder temporary employment authorization before or after completion of the student's studies, or both.)
HR 1326, the DOE and USDA Interagency Research Act, requires the Energy and Agriculture Secretaries to jointly conduct collaborative research focused on shared priorities like sustainable energy, agriculture, and climate resilience. It mandates a competitive grant process for federal agencies, universities, and nonprofits to fund projects in areas such as AI for farming/energy systems, biofuels, grid security, and rural technology development. The bill also requires a report to Congress within two years detailing research coordination, achievements, and future collaboration opportunities. This legislation directly affects federal agencies, research institutions, and agricultural/energy sectors through new funding mechanisms and joint projects, without altering existing regulations or creating new mandates for the public.

HR 1325 modifies annual reporting requirements for commercial remote sensing licensees under U.S. law. It shortens the deadline for submitting annual reports from 120 to 60 days and adds new requirements for licensees to report on all applications and licenses categorized by regulatory tier, along with the rationale for each tier. The bill also updates notification procedures and extends the expiration date for certain provisions from September 30, 2020, to September 30, 2030. These changes directly affect companies holding commercial remote sensing licenses that operate Earth-observing satellites. The bill focuses on streamlining and clarifying regulatory reporting processes without altering licensing standards or creating new restrictions.
HRES 244 is a symbolic resolution recognizing Nowruz, the ancient Persian New Year celebrated by hundreds of millions globally, including Iranian Americans in the U.S. It formally acknowledges Nowruz's cultural and historical significance, dating back over 3,000 years, and highlights Iranian Americans' contributions to U.S. society. The resolution expresses appreciation for their observance of Nowruz and connects the holiday's themes of renewal and compassion to shared values like human rights and freedom of expression. It does not create new laws or obligations but affirms support for the holiday's spirit and the aspirations of Iranians seeking democratic rights. The resolution was introduced by a bipartisan group of House members and refers to Nowruz as embodying "virtuous" conduct and compassion across all backgrounds.
This resolution impeaches Chief Judge John James McConnell Jr. of the U.S. District Court for Rhode Island for alleged misconduct related to his handling of *State of New York v. Donald J. Trump*. The House claims he abused his position by making public comments expressing political bias (including comparing Trump’s presidency to the Civil War) and by failing to recuse himself from the Trump case while serving on the board of Crossroads Rhode Island - a nonprofit receiving over $2.8 million in state funds from Rhode Island, which was a plaintiff in the case. The resolution alleges these actions violated judicial ethics and federal law requiring impartiality. If approved, the resolution would send the impeachment articles to the Senate for trial.
The WING Act of 2025 establishes a research program within the National Weather Service to address physical obstructions - like wind turbines and buildings - that block weather radar signals. The program requires testing technologies such as phased array radar, data replacement from commercial sources, and improved signal processing to maintain accurate storm detection and forecasting. It directly affects weather forecasting systems and communities relying on timely radar data for severe weather warnings. The initiative must report annually to Congress and conclude by September 2030, with a final recommendation due by 2030.
HR 2273, the UPRISERS Act, would require the revocation of student visas for international students on F-1, J-1, or M-1 visas who are convicted of assaulting a police officer or committing specific riot-related offenses. These offenses include inciting riots, organizing or participating in riots, committing violence during riots, or aiding others in such acts. The bill adds these convictions as automatic grounds for deportation under existing immigration law. It directly affects international students holding these specific visa types who face criminal convictions for the listed violent or disruptive conduct. The policy change would make visa revocation and deportation mandatory for these offenses, rather than leaving it to discretionary enforcement.
This bill would change work requirements for food stamp benefits (SNAP) and establish new work requirements for Medicaid. For SNAP, it removes exemptions for people over 60 and adds exemptions for children under 6. For Medicaid, it requires adults to work 80 hours per month, do community service, or join a work program to maintain coverage, with exemptions for pregnant people, caregivers of young children, students, and others. States could stop Medicaid benefits for individuals who fail to meet this requirement for three consecutive months.
HRES 229 is a formal House resolution impeaching Chief Judge James E. Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. It accuses him of abusing judicial power by interfering with President Trump's enforcement of immigration policies under the Alien Enemies Act, specifically blocking efforts to remove aliens linked to the Tren de Aragua terrorist group and ordering planes to turn around midair. The resolution claims these actions violated separation of powers by second-guessing the President's constitutional authority without judicial authority. This is a procedural impeachment resolution pending Senate action, not a law affecting the public.
This bill (HR 2199) prevents private health insurance plans from discriminating against patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESRD) who require dialysis. It amends the Social Security Act to prohibit plans from treating dialysis coverage differently than other medical services or applying network restrictions that disproportionately harm ESRD patients. The law clarifies that plans cannot deny or limit benefits for dialysis based on a patient’s diagnosis, while preserving a plan’s right to choose which dialysis providers are in their network. It directly affects ESRD patients and their private health insurance coverage, ensuring dialysis is treated equally with other covered medical services. The bill does not require plans to include specific dialysis providers but stops them from unfairly restricting access to necessary care.
