S 5425: Addiction Grants Modernization Act

The Addiction Grants Modernization Act requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to create a single online portal where organizations can apply for multiple federal substance use disorder grants from different agencies. This centralized system would allow applicants to submit one basic application for various programs, with additional specific questions added only when necessary for individual grants. To support this change, the bill mandates the creation of a working group made up of government employees and community stakeholders to develop the application process and report on its implementation. The legislation also requires agencies to synchronize their funding announcements but explicitly prohibits any changes to existing grant funding levels or allowable activities.

S 5424: Community Health Worker Access Act

The Community Health Worker Access Act expands Medicare Part B coverage to include preventive care and services addressing social determinants of health provided by community health agencies, with benefits taking effect on January 1, 2027. These services are paid at 100 percent of the lesser of the actual charge or a federally established fee schedule, and they are exempt from Medicare deductibles. The bill also gives states an optional pathway to cover these same services under Medicaid, requiring state plan amendments that include workforce recruitment strategies and efforts to remove barriers for organizations that do not typically bill insurance. To support this expansion, the federal government increases its share of Medicaid costs by 6 percentage points for eligible community health expenditures in participating states.

S 5421: A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to eliminate the State opt-in requirement for the qualified elementary and secondary education scholarship credit.

This bill removes the requirement for states to formally opt in to participate in the federal qualified elementary and secondary education scholarship credit. By eliminating this state-level approval process, the legislation allows the tax benefit to apply more broadly without waiting for individual state action. The change directly affects parents of K-12 students who use these scholarships, as it streamlines access to the associated tax credit.

SJRES 213: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement of the Department of Homeland Security relating to "Establishing a Fixed Time Period of Admission and an Extension of Stay Procedure for Nonimmigrant Academic Students, Exchange Visitors, and Representatives of Foreign Information Media".

This joint resolution seeks to overturn a Department of Homeland Security rule that would have established fixed admission periods and specific extension procedures for nonimmigrant academic students, exchange visitors, and foreign media representatives. If enacted, the bill would prevent this immigration policy from taking effect by using the congressional review process outlined in federal law. The measure directly affects individuals entering the United States under these specific nonimmigrant visa categories by maintaining their current status rather than subjecting them to the new time limits proposed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

HRES 1563: Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives with respect to the certification requirement in the case of a congressional earmark or limited tax or tariff benefit.

This House resolution amends the rules governing congressional earmarks and limited tax or tariff benefits by expanding the scope of required financial interest certifications. It requires members of Congress to certify that not only themselves and their spouses, but also any immediate family member and any entity in which they hold a material financial interest, have no direct or indirect financial stake in the proposed benefit. The amendment specifically includes interests arising from business assets that could reasonably be expected to appreciate in value due to their proximity to the location of the earmarked activity.
