S 616: Foundation of the Federal Bar Association Charter Amendments Act of 2025

This bill amends the federal charter for the Foundation of the Federal Bar Association, updating its governance structure and operational rules. Key changes include redefining the board of directors as the governing body, shifting membership eligibility to be governed by bylaws, and adding strict restrictions: prohibiting political activities, stock issuance, dividends, and asset distributions to members during the charter's life. The bill also requires assets to be distributed per bylaws upon dissolution and eliminates the requirement for the foundation to maintain its principal office in Washington, D.C. As a procedural charter amendment, it directly affects the Foundation’s internal operations without creating new government programs or policies.

HR 1912: Veteran Fraud Reimbursement Act of 2025

Veteran Fraud Reimbursement Act of 2025 This act modifies the procedures by which the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) reissues misused benefits to a beneficiary, including by requiring the VA to establish methods and timing with respect to determining whether an instance of misuse by a fiduciary is the result of negligence by the VA. The act also provides that if a beneficiary predeceases a reissuance, the VA must pay the amount to a surviving beneficiary in the same method as certain other VA benefits are paid upon the death of a beneficiary. Under the act, the VA may not withhold the reissuing of a benefit payment by reason of a pending determination regarding the VA's negligence in relation to the instance of misuse by a fiduciary. Additionally, the VA is not required to make a determination regarding its negligence for each instance of misuse by a fiduciary of all or part of an individual's benefit paid to such fiduciary.

HJRES 131: Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management relating to Coastal Plain Oil and Gas Leasing Program Record of Decision.

HJRES 131 blocks a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) rule that would have allowed oil and gas leasing in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Coastal Plain. The bill uses the Congressional Review Act to formally disapprove this specific rule, making it legally void. It directly affects the BLM's ability to advance the leasing program and companies seeking permits for oil and gas development in that area. The resolution became law after passing both chambers of Congress in late 2025.

HJRES 130 is a congressional disapproval resolution that blocks a specific rule issued by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for its Buffalo Field Office. The resolution, enacted December 11, 2025, prevents the "Buffalo Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment" from taking effect under federal law. This action directly affects the BLM's management of public lands in the Buffalo area by invalidating the resource management plan amendment. The resolution follows the Congressional Review Act process, which allows Congress to reject agency rules within a specified timeframe.

HJRES 105: Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management relating to "North Dakota Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan".

HJRES 105 is a procedural resolution that blocks a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) rule concerning North Dakota's resource management plan. It directs Congress to disapprove the BLM's "North Dakota Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan" (issued January 2025), which the Government Accountability Office determined qualified as a "rule" under the Congressional Review Act. The resolution states this BLM rule will have no legal effect once enacted. This action directly affects the implementation of the BLM's resource management plan for North Dakota's public lands.

This resolution disapproves a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) rule that amended resource management plans for Montana's Miles City Field Office. It formally cancels the rule's legal effect, preventing the BLM from implementing the specific management plan changes. The action directly affects public land management decisions at the Miles City Field Office in Montana. This is a procedural disapproval under federal law, not a new policy.

SJRES 80: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management relating to "National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska Integrated Activity Plan Record of Decision".

This bill (SJRES 80) is a joint resolution disapproving a specific rule issued by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) concerning oil and gas activities in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. It directly affects the BLM's management of the reserve by nullifying its 2022 "Integrated Activity Plan Record of Decision," which outlined drilling and leasing plans. The resolution invokes the Congressional Review Act (chapter 8 of title 5 U.S. Code) to formally block the rule, stating it "shall have no force or effect." This procedural action was passed by Congress and signed into law on December 5, 2025, reversing the BLM's regulatory framework for the Alaska reserve.
