S 3329: United States Cadet Nurse Corps Service Recognition Act of 2025

This bill recognizes service in the U.S. Cadet Nurse Corps during World War II (July 1943-December 1948) by treating it as active duty for certain veterans' benefits under Title 38. It requires the Secretary of Defense to issue honorable discharges within one year of enactment to eligible individuals and allows commemorative medals or markers. However, it explicitly excludes benefits related to Arlington National Cemetery interment and clarifies that recipients do not gain additional VA benefits beyond those specified. The bill directly affects former Cadet Nurses who served during that period and were honorably discharged.

S 3328: Digital Skills for Today’s Workforce Act

This bill establishes a new "Digital Skills at Work Grant Program" to fund digital skills training for workers in in-demand industries, particularly targeting individuals with digital skills gaps and barriers to employment. It amends the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to provide federal grants to states for expanding digital workplace skills training, with priority given to helping those with low digital literacy as defined by educational attainment, income level, or limited English proficiency. States must submit detailed applications on how they'll use funds, and the program requires reporting on outcomes including progress for different demographic groups to ensure accountability. The program focuses on building "digitally resilient" systems and individuals to better prepare workers for the changing labor market. The goal is to help workers gain skills needed for current and future jobs while promoting digital equity.

HR 6395 directs the Secretary of State to develop a strategy for renegotiating the 1947 agreement that hosts the United Nations headquarters in New York.

HR 6378: FERC Greenhouse Gas and Environmental Justice Policy Act of 2025

This bill requires the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to consider environmental justice and greenhouse gas emissions when reviewing applications for natural gas pipeline projects and other infrastructure needing a certificate of public convenience and necessity. FERC must evaluate how projects affect communities disproportionately burdened by pollution (defined as communities of color, indigenous groups, or low-income areas) and quantify all foreseeable greenhouse gas emissions, including upstream leaks and downstream combustion. Projects emitting 100,000+ metric tons of CO2 equivalent annually are presumed to have significant climate impacts. Applicants must submit mitigation plans to address environmental effects, and FERC must attach enforceable conditions to certificates if mitigation is practicable - or provide a detailed explanation if it isn’t.

HR 6412: Independence Investment Fund Act

The Independence Investment Fund Act (HR 6412) establishes a Treasury Department fund to invest in U.S. companies developing critical and emerging technologies, prioritizing biotechnology. The fund makes seed-to-mid-stage equity investments (typically $1 million to $10 million per company) to strengthen national security and economic security while aiming for financial self-sustainability through returns. It requires an advisory board to set investment strategy and a supervisory board to approve investments, with annual reporting to Congress on progress toward goals. The bill authorizes $975.5 million for fiscal year 2025 (including $300 million for biotech), directing investments away from foreign entities of concern and toward companies vulnerable to adversarial foreign capital.
