SJRES 17: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture relating to "Law Enforcement; Criminal Prohibitions".

This joint resolution (SJRES 17) seeks to block a specific rule issued by the U.S. Forest Service under the Department of Agriculture. The rule, published in the Federal Register on November 25, 2024, established new criminal prohibitions related to law enforcement activities on federal lands. If passed, this resolution would formally disapprove the rule under Chapter 8 of Title 5, U.S. Code, making the rule legally ineffective and preventing it from taking effect. The resolution directly affects the Forest Service's ability to enforce this particular criminal prohibition rule.

S 460: Supporting Made in America Energy Act

Supporting Made in America Energy Act This bill requires oil and natural gas lease sales that include certain public land and waters, prohibits lease sales in other areas, and establishes related requirements. Beginning in FY2025, the Department of the Interior must conduct a minimum of four onshore lease sales annually in each state that has federal land available for oil and natural gas leasing. If a lease sale is canceled, delayed, or deferred, Interior must conduct a replacement sale during the same year.  Beginning in FY2026, Interior must conduct a minimum of two offshore, region-wide lease sales annually in the Gulf of Mexico Region of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) by specified dates. The sales must include the Central Gulf of Mexico Planning Area and the Western Gulf of Mexico Planning Area. Interior must also conduct a minimum of six offshore lease sales of at least 1 million acres each over a 10-year period in the Cook Inlet Planning Area. The bill sets a 12.5% royalty rate for such leases. Interior must plan and approve the subsequent OCS oil and gas leasing programs by specified deadlines. The bill extends through 2035 a moratorium on oil and gas leasing in certain eastern and central portions of the Gulf of Mexico and expands the moratorium to include the South Atlantic Planning Area and the Straits of Florida Planning Area. The bill also requires the President to obtain congressional approval before impeding or circumventing certain federal energy mineral leasing processes.

S 474: Fair Funding for Rural Hospitals Act

This bill establishes minimum annual funding levels for Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) payments to states, directly affecting rural hospitals and state Medicaid programs. For fiscal years 2025 through 2029, it sets a minimum $20 million DSH allotment per state, and for 2030 onward, it requires states to maintain the prior year's minimum amount adjusted for inflation. The provision prevents states from reducing DSH funding below these specified floors, ensuring consistent support for hospitals serving high numbers of low-income patients. It applies to all states receiving Medicaid DSH payments under federal law.

S 485: Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act of 2025

This bill would require federal agencies to submit detailed reports about new regulations to Congress before they take effect. Major rules (defined as those with an annual economic effect of $100 million or more, or significant effects on competition, employment, or public safety) would need congressional approval via a joint resolution before taking effect, with Congress having 70 days to act. Nonmajor rules would have a different, shorter review process. The bill would also require agencies to publish cost-benefit analyses and other supporting documentation, and would mandate that rules be reviewed and potentially reapproved after 10 years.

HR 1068: PLCAA Federal Jurisdiction Act

This bill amends the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) to allow firearm manufacturers, sellers, and trade associations to move certain civil lawsuits from state courts to federal courts. It gives federal courts the authority to determine if a case falls under the PLCAA's protections and to dismiss it if it does. The key mechanism is automatic removal to federal court for qualified cases, followed by a federal court decision on dismissal. This directly affects gun industry defendants by shifting jurisdiction for specific liability claims away from state courts.

HR 1040: Senior Citizens Tax Elimination Act

HR 1040, the Senior Citizens Tax Elimination Act, would stop taxing Social Security benefits for seniors by repealing the current tax rule that includes some benefits in gross income. It directly affects senior citizens who currently pay federal income tax on portions of their Social Security payments. The bill adds a provision stating Section 86 of the tax code (which taxes Social Security benefits) no longer applies after enactment. To offset the lost tax revenue, the bill requires the government to appropriate funds to the Social Security and Railroad Retirement trust funds, ensuring they remain fully funded without requiring tax increases.
Topics ✓ Budget & TaxesSupports Budget & TaxesBill eliminates tax on Social Security benefits for seniors, providing direct tax relief to lower-income seniors. This alignates with tax relief indicators for middle/lower income groups.90% confidence

HR 1052: UNPLUG EVs Act

HR 1052, the UNPLUG EVs Act, rescinds unobligated federal funds from two electric vehicle infrastructure programs. It targets unused balances from the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program (established by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act) and charging/fueling grant programs under federal highway law. These rescinded funds will be deposited into the U.S. Treasury's general fund to reduce the federal deficit. The bill does not alter existing program requirements or affect current EV infrastructure projects, only redirecting unspent allocated funds.

HR 1066: Ending Green Giveaways Act

The Ending Green Giveaways Act (HR 1066) repeals a Clean Air Act provision (Section 138) that authorized federal funding for environmental and climate justice initiatives. It also cancels any unspent funds previously allocated for these programs. This would terminate the funding stream, preventing future allocations for community-based environmental projects. As a result, the program would end without new resources for communities addressing environmental challenges.

HR 71: Veterans Health Care Freedom Act

HR 71, the Veterans Health Care Freedom Act, allows eligible veterans enrolled in VA healthcare to choose from a broader network of providers, including non-VA facilities, without geographic restrictions. The bill creates a 3-year pilot program in four diverse locations (rural and urban) where veterans can select primary care and specialty providers within a defined "covered care system" (VA facilities and approved community providers), with VA coordinating care through a primary provider. After the pilot, the law permanently requires the VA to offer this same choice of providers to all enrolled veterans, removing current barriers that limited access to non-VA care outside a veteran’s local VA network. The program uses existing VA funding and mandates regular reports to Congress on implementation and results.

S 421: American Beef Labeling Act of 2025

This bill requires mandatory country of origin labeling for beef products, including ground beef, so consumers can see where their beef comes from. It updates existing labeling rules under the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 to specifically include beef (and ground beef) alongside other meats. The law directs the U.S. Trade Representative and Agriculture Secretary to find a World Trade Organization-compliant way to reinstate this labeling within a year of enactment. It directly affects beef producers, retailers, and consumers by changing how beef packaging must identify its country of origin.

S 425: Enhancing Energy Recovery Act

This bill amends the federal tax credit for carbon capture (Section 45Q) to expand eligibility for companies capturing carbon dioxide. It adds new qualifying uses for the credit, including using captured carbon as a "tertiary injectant" in oil/gas extraction projects and certain other storage methods. The credit amount is set at $17 per metric ton for 2025-2026, then adjusted annually for inflation after 2026. The changes apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, directly affecting businesses engaged in carbon capture and storage.
