HR1262 — Mikaela Naylon Give Kids a Chance Act
Speeds and strengthens pediatric cancer drug development. It expands which cancer products companies must study in children, reshapes organ transplant network governance and fees, and adds new FDA international and transparency steps. - Children with cancer and researchers: Requires pediatric studies that produce clinically meaningful data on dosing, safety, and early effectiveness and widens the kinds of drug combinations studied. It also sets aside $25 million for pediatric drug studies in each of fiscal years 2026, 2027, and 2028. - Transplant patients and transplant network members: Changes Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network governance and financing by allowing quarterly registration fees, requiring those fees fund OPTN operations, improving electronic health record integration, and calling for a GAO review within two years. - FDA partners and drug makers: Creates an Abraham Accords Office to boost regulatory coordination and technical assistance abroad, and forces more transparency during generic (ANDA) reviews about whether generics are qualitatively and quantitatively the same as listed drugs. It also raises the Medicare Improvement Fund amount from $1.4 billion to $2.6 billion. Increases federal outlays by roughly $1.3 billion, driven by a $1.2 billion boost to the Medicare Improvement Fund and $75 million for pediatric studies, adding to federal spending.

Establishes concurrent receipt for retirees with combat-related disabilities. This bill would let eligible retirees receive both military retired pay and veterans' disability compensation for the same months without the offset rules that currently reduce payments. - Families of disabled retirees: Veterans with combat-related disabilities would receive both retired pay and VA disability compensation for the same months, increasing their monthly household income. - Defense and VA payment rules: The bill would amend 10 U.S.C. 1413a and 10 U.S.C. 1414 to exempt retired pay from reductions under 38 U.S.C. 5304 and 5305 and add a clear monthly no-offset rule. - Implementation and technical changes: It renames and updates chapter sections, adjusts cross-references, and applies to payments beginning the first month after enactment.
HR909 — Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act of 2025
Would make the False Claims Act apply to deposits to the Crime Victims Fund through FY2029. It would also require an Inspector General audit that sets the audit's scope, timing, and recipients, and the measure is titled the Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act of 2025. - Entities that make deposits to the Crime Victims Fund would be subject to the False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. 3729–3731) for deposits from enactment through FY2029. - An Inspector General audit would examine the Crime Victims Fund and the bill would set the audit's scope, timing, and who receives the report.
HR842 — Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act
Would expand Medicare to cover multi-cancer early detection screening tests. It defines eligible tests as certain FDA-cleared or approved genomic blood tests or comparable biological-sample tests and directs the Secretary to use the national coverage determinations process to decide when they are covered.
HR1684 — PAST Act of 2025
Stronger enforcement against soring in gaited-horse events by expanding banned practices, raising penalties, creating a licensed inspector system, and publicly posting violations to improve compliance and transparency. - Owners and exhibitors face escalating bans for sore horses: at least 180 days for a first finding, at least 1 year for a second, and at least 3 years for a third. The bill also allows permanent disqualification after a third or later violation following notice and a hearing. - Inspectors and veterinarians must be licensed to inspect at shows, with conflict-of-interest rules and revocation for poor performance. The Secretary must prioritize licensed or accredited veterinarians and licensed inspectors must issue citations and report violations to USDA within 5 days. - The law expands unlawful acts to cover use of "action devices" and weighted or gait-altering shoes on Tennessee Walking Horses, Racking Horses, and Spotted Saddle Horses at shows and sales. The Secretary must assign licensed inspectors to events and publish violations on the APHIS website for show managers and the public to review.
HR2253 — Puppy Protection Act of 2025
This bill would create comprehensive welfare standards for dogs held by dealers. It sets detailed minimums for housing, food and water, exercise, socialization, veterinary care, breeding practices, and retirement placement. - Dogs and families: Dogs would get solid-floor housing, minimum indoor space starting at 12 square feet for small dogs, and temperature controls between 45 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit while present. Continuous clean potable water would be required. - Dealers and breeders: Dealers would have to provide meaningful daily socialization for at least 30 minutes and follow breeding limits including a lifetime cap of 6 litters plus age-based restrictions to reduce early or late breeding risks. - Regulators and retirements: The Secretary must issue final regulations within 18 months and dealers must make reasonable efforts to place retired breeding dogs with adopters or rescues rather than auctions or resale for breeding.
