HRES 295: Expressing Support for the President's Actions to Safeguard National Security and Eliminate Threats from Foreign Terrorist Organizations.

HRES 295 is a resolution expressing congressional support for the President's use of the Alien Enemies Act to remove members of Tren de Aragua (designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization) from the United States. It references the deportation of noncitizens to El Salvador under a prior agreement and affirms the President's authority to detain or deport foreign terrorists. The resolution does not create new laws but endorses specific security actions taken under existing legal authority. It directly relates to the removal of Tren de Aragua members and their transfer to El Salvador's detention facility.

HR 2687: End Kidney Deaths Act

HR 2687, the End Kidney Deaths Act, creates a federal tax credit for living kidney donors who give non-directed donations (meaning they don't know the recipient's identity). It provides a $10,000 annual credit for five years ($50,000 total) to donors whose kidney is removed after December 31, 2026, with special rules if the donor dies during this period. The credit applies only to living, non-directed kidney donations and explicitly states it does not count as "valuable consideration" under laws prohibiting organ sales. This bill directly affects living kidney donors who choose to donate anonymously, aiming to incentivize such donations by offsetting related costs through tax relief. The credit expires after December 31, 2036.

HR 2662: Staged Accident Fraud Prevention Act of 2025

This bill makes it a federal crime to intentionally cause or arrange collisions involving commercial motor vehicles (like trucks) for insurance fraud. It imposes fines and prison sentences of up to 20 years for basic staging, and at least 20 years if the collision causes serious injury or death. The law directly affects individuals who commit this type of fraud, which is often used to file false insurance claims. It also prevents federal prosecution if someone was already convicted or acquitted under state law for the same act.

HR 2666: CBO Scoring Accountability Act

HR 2666, the CBO Scoring Accountability Act, requires the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to annually analyze and publicly report on the actual costs and revenue impacts of major federal legislation for the first 10 years after it becomes law. It mandates that the CBO compare actual spending/revenue results against prior estimates, and if discrepancies exceed 10% for costs or revenue, the CBO must explain the causes in a report to Congress. This applies to bills projected to affect at least 0.25% of U.S. GDP in spending or revenue (defined as "major legislation"), and federal agencies must provide data to support these analyses. The bill aims to improve transparency around budget estimates without altering legislative processes.

HR 2692: No Tax Breaks for Union Busting (NTBUB) Act

The No Tax Breaks for Union Busting Act would deny tax deductions for employers who spend money to influence employees' decisions about union activities, such as union elections or collective bargaining. It defines "labor organization activities" broadly to include union elections, labor disputes, and collective actions. The bill requires employers to report such spending on tax returns and prevents them from deducting these expenses from taxable income. This would apply to employers using tactics like captive audience meetings, outside consultants, or other efforts to sway workers' union decisions. The policy aims to remove tax incentives for employers to interfere with workers' rights under labor law.

HR 2672: Religious Workforce Protection Act

HR 2672, the Religious Workforce Protection Act, extends temporary nonimmigrant status for religious workers whose applications for permanent residency (green cards) are delayed due to visa backlogs. It directly affects religious workers (such as pastors or missionaries) who are principal or derivative beneficiaries of pending immigrant petitions under specific visa categories, allowing them to maintain their work status beyond the usual 5-year limit while their green card applications are processed. Key provisions include granting extensions until a final decision is made on their adjustment of status application, modifying rules to allow limited job flexibility for these workers, and exempting them from a 1-year foreign residence requirement if they left the U.S. due to the prior 5-year cap. The bill aims to prevent religious workers from losing their legal status during lengthy immigration processing.

HR 2678: Ellie’s Law

HR 2678, "Ellie’s Law," authorizes $20 million annually from fiscal years 2026 through 2030 for the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke to conduct new research on unruptured brain aneurysms. The funding specifically aims to study diverse patient populations by age, sex, and race, addressing gaps in current research. This bill directly affects the estimated 6.8 million Americans with unruptured brain aneurysms - particularly women and people of color, who face higher rupture risks - by advancing medical understanding of the condition. The law requires the funds to supplement, not replace, existing research budgets.

HR 2671: Tax Fairness for Workers Act

The Tax Fairness for Workers Act (HR 2671) would allow certain employees to deduct work-related expenses directly from their gross income. Specifically, it creates an above-the-line deduction for union dues (amending IRC Section 62(a)(1)) and reinstates a deduction for other out-of-pocket work costs like uniforms or tools (amending IRC Section 67(g)), effective for 2025 tax years. This directly affects union members and workers with significant job-related expenses who previously could not deduct these costs. The bill removes the prior limitation that barred these deductions, making them available without needing to itemize. The policy change simplifies tax filing for affected workers by treating these expenses as deductible business costs.

S 1306: A bill to require the Director of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to reissue a final rule removing the gray wolf from the list of endangered and threatened wildlife under the Endangered Species Act of 1973.

S 1306 requires the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to reissue a 2020 rule that removed gray wolves from the federal endangered species list. This would directly affect gray wolf populations and their management, as it would restore the wolves' status as non-endangered under the Endangered Species Act. The bill mandates the reissuance within 60 days of enactment and explicitly prohibits any court challenges to this action. This is a procedural bill focused on reversing a prior regulatory decision without allowing judicial review.

S 1309: Winter Recreation Small Business Recovery Act of 2025

This bill expands eligibility for Small Business Administration disaster loans by adding "snow drought" to the list of qualifying disasters. It directly affects winter recreation small businesses (like ski resorts and snowmobile rentals) that suffer economic harm due to insufficient snowpack caused by low precipitation or warm temperatures. Key provisions require the SBA to issue implementing rules within 90 days and mandate a report assessing federal resources and adaptation strategies for businesses impacted by snow drought. The bill does not create new funding but adjusts existing programs under the Small Business Act to cover this specific climate-related disruption.

S 1310: No Tax Breaks for Union Busting (NTBUB) Act

S 1310, the No Tax Breaks for Union Busting (NTBUB) Act, denies tax deductions for employer spending aimed at influencing workers' decisions about union organizing or collective bargaining. It amends the tax code to block deductions for expenses like anti-union consultant fees, captive audience meetings, and other tactics that interfere with labor rights under the National Labor Relations Act. Employers must report such spending on tax returns with specific details, including dates, amounts, and whether activities relate to unfair labor practice charges. This directly affects businesses that engage in anti-union organizing tactics, removing a tax incentive for these activities while preserving deductions for standard union negotiations.

HR 2253: Puppy Protection Act of 2025

This bill, HR 2253 (Puppy Protection Act of 2025), sets new federal standards for commercial dog dealers who sell puppies to the public. It requires specific housing sizes based on dog size (e.g., 12-30 square feet per dog), daily exercise in safe outdoor areas, clean water and nutritious food twice daily, and annual veterinary exams including dental checks. The bill also limits breeding frequency (max 2 litters in 25 months), sets age minimums for breeding (18 months for small dogs, 2 years for large dogs), and mandates health screenings to prevent genetic diseases. These requirements apply directly to commercial dealers, with final regulations to be issued within 18 months of enactment.
