4 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
If enacted, hospitals and similar providers could test every infant 21 days old or younger for congenital CMV. States that adopt approved testing rules could get HRSA funds and pass money to hospitals to run the tests. The bill authorizes “such sums as necessary” for fiscal years 2025 and 2026. This could make CMV screening at birth more available in many hospitals.
CDC could give grants or cooperative agreements to States. Money would help build CMV data systems and train providers, patients, and the public. Funds could support evidence-based materials on State websites. The bill authorizes “such sums as necessary” for 2025 and 2026.
NIH would start or expand research on better CMV screening methods and interventions. It would also support work on diagnostics, prevention, public awareness, treatments during pregnancy and after birth, and vaccine development. These are research programs and would not send direct payments to families.
States would set standards for how newborn CMV testing is done, how results are tracked, and how parents are informed. A federal advisory committee would review and approve each State’s standards. If a State has no approved standards within 2 years after enactment, the committee would set standards for that State. The committee would consider other States’ rules, that State’s other newborn screening rules, and scientific evidence.

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.

HR1269 — Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act of 2025
Establishes a presumption that certain exposure-related cancers are line-of-duty injuries for public safety officers. It would define which cancers qualify and create an evidence-based process for adding more. It would apply to deaths and disabilities on or after January 1, 2020 and provide a three-year lookback and filing window. - Public safety officers and families: Gives a legal presumption that qualifying cancers are work-related, lowering the burden to prove line-of-duty injury when filing death or disability claims. - Science-driven eligibility: Enumerates cancers such as bladder, brain, lung, leukemia, and mesothelioma, and lets the Director update the list using evidence from NIOSH, the National Toxicology Program, the National Academies, or IARC. - Claims handling and privacy: Broadens what information may be disclosed to the Office of Justice Programs and third parties, including information identifiable to private persons, and makes those confidentiality changes apply to pending matters as if enacted on December 27, 1979.

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

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.
HR1329 — Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum Act
Would authorize a Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum on the National Mall Reserve and set rules for site selection, construction, governance, and exhibit standards. - Transfers administrative control of the chosen Reserve parcel to the Smithsonian and allows a presidentially designated alternative site within 180 days. It requires interagency consultation and approvals for site suitability and design, and the Smithsonian must reimburse the federal agency for approval costs within 60 days. - Expands the Smithsonian’s mission to collect, research, and present the history and lived experiences of biological women in the United States and prohibits depicting any biological male as a female. Exhibits must represent a diversity of political viewpoints and rely on a broad array of knowledgeable and respected sources. - Directs the Board of Regents to lead planning, design, and construction under specified design criteria and federal commission approvals.
