This bill would require public transit agencies and other recipients to install a floor-to-ceiling barrier around the driver workstation on certain new buses. It would start two years after enactment and apply to new fixed-route buses 30 feet or longer with a useful life of 10 years or more bought with Federal funds, except funds from section 5311. The barrier would fully enclose the workstation, stop unwanted people, fluids, and objects from entering, and must not block the driver's exterior lines of sight. A recipient could waive the rule for a specific bus only if the labor organization representing the plurality of frontline workers (or a contractor's frontline workforce) agrees and the recipient certifies that waiver for that bus.

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.
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.
HR2102 — Major Richard Star Act
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.
HR979 — AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act of 2025
This bill would require AM broadcast capability to be installed as standard equipment in passenger motor vehicles. It focuses on driver-accessible AM reception, allows digital AM audio to count for compliance, and links vehicle AM capability to emergency alerting through IPAWS. - Drivers and households: Built-in, driver-accessible AM reception would make it easier for people to get local AM stations and emergency alerts from their vehicles. The bill allows devices that receive digital AM to meet the requirement. - Vehicle manufacturers: The Department of Transportation would need to issue a rule within 1 year, with a general compliance deadline no later than 2 years after the rule is issued. Small manufacturers that produced no more than 40,000 passenger vehicles in 2022 would get at least 4 years to comply. - Oversight and emergency systems: States would be barred from imposing their own AM-access rules. The bill mandates interim labels and pricing protections for cars without AM, authorizes civil penalties and DOJ injunctions for violations, requires a GAO study and a congressional briefing within 1 year, and includes an 8-year sunset for the authority.
HR4206 — CONNECT for Health Act of 2025
Expands Medicare telehealth access by removing geographic limits and ending an in-person requirement for telemental health. It would also change payment rules for clinics and require more oversight, training, and data reporting. - Medicare beneficiaries would be able to receive telehealth across geographies beginning October 1, 2025. Telemental health would no longer require a six-month in-person visit and tribal and Native Hawaiian facilities would be exempt from originating-site rules starting January 1, 2026. - Federally Qualified Health Centers and Rural Health Clinics would be paid for telehealth under outpatient or prospective payment methods and telehealth costs as distant-site care would count as allowable PPS costs. The HHS Secretary could waive limits on which practitioner types may furnish telehealth starting October 1, 2025 with annual public comment and a three-year reassessment requirement. - The bill would strengthen program integrity funding for telehealth, require CMS to post quarterly telehealth data, and add telehealth to quality-measure reviews within 180 days. It also mandates a beneficiary engagement study and a Government Accountability Office report on hospice recertification within three years.
HR2853 — Combating Organized Retail Crime Act of 2025
This bill creates a centralized Organized Retail and Supply Chain Crime Coordination Center to unify federal, state, local, Tribal, and private-sector efforts. It also strengthens federal criminal tools by expanding forfeiture predicates, adding covered financial instruments, and setting $5,000 aggregate thresholds for certain stolen-goods offenses. - Retailers and supply-chain businesses get a federal hub for intelligence sharing and loss-prevention help. The bill cites a 93% rise in larceny incidents and a 90% rise in average dollar loss from 2019 to 2023. - Prosecutors and investigators gain broader forfeiture and money-laundering authority by adding sections 659, 2314, and 2315 as predicate offenses and by including money orders, general-use prepaid cards, gift certificates, and store gift cards as covered instruments. It also adds a $5,000 aggregate value threshold to those stolen-goods crimes. - The Department of Homeland Security must stand up the Center within 90 days and staff it with federal and state detailees. The law requires evaluations and follow-up reports on grant and training needs and sunsets the Center after 7 years.
