Indexes a specified dollar amount in the Electronic Fund Transfer Act to inflation so the figure keeps pace with price changes. This bill would add an “Inflation adjustments” rule to 15 U.S.C. 1693o-2(a)(6) that directs the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to adjust the named amount by the annual change in the Consumer Price Index for October. The first adjustment must happen by July 1, 2026. After that the Board would update the amount every January 15. Before the first scheduled annual update the Board would make a one-time increase equal to the change from October 2009 to October 2025 in the October CPI.

HR3151 — SHIPS for America Act of 2025
Rebuild U.S. commercial shipbuilding and a U.S.-flag strategic fleet by pairing new tax credits, grants, and operating payments with stronger cargo-preference rules and workforce and innovation programs to restore domestic capacity and sealift readiness.

HR2725 — Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act of 2025
Rewrites and expands the Low‑Income Housing Tax Credit to boost construction and affordability for very low‑income renters. It would rename the program the Affordable Housing Credit and change how states get credits, who counts as low‑income, and how projects qualify and claim credits. - Families and residents: Would change tenant rules so most full‑time students under age 24 do not count as low‑income occupants, allow tenant‑based voucher payments to be excluded from rent calculations in certain projects, and add protections for survivors of domestic violence and for veterans. - Developers and owners: Would raise state allocations and set the minimum allocation at $4,876,000 in 2025, create a bigger credit when at least 20% of units serve extremely low‑income households, treat relocation costs as eligible rehab expenses, and tighten acquisition‑basis and foreclosure timing rules. - States, tribes, and rural areas: Would require housing agencies to apply community revitalization and cost‑reasonableness criteria, add Indian areas and rural areas to difficult development area rules with specific NAHASDA exceptions, and bar prioritizing local official approval or contributions in allocation plans.
HR6955 — Main Street Act
This bill would provide tailored regulatory relief for smaller and rural banks and raise many statutory thresholds. It also tightens exam timelines, creates independent appeal rights, and modernizes discount window and deposit access rules. - Community and rural banks: Raises the Community Bank Leverage Ratio asset threshold to $15 billion and narrows the leverage margin to 6–9%. Rural banks get a 7.5% leveraged ratio cap option and short-form Call Reports for some filings. - Supervision and appeal rights: Requires examinations to be completed within 270 days with final reports delivered within 90 days. Establishes an independent Office of Examination Review and gives institutions a formal right to appeal material supervisory determinations with hearings. - Deposit access, mergers, and resolution changes: Directs a comprehensive review of the Federal Reserve discount window, allows eligible banks to accept custodial deposits up to 20% of liabilities, and limits antitrust merger scrutiny for institutions under $10 billion while adding GAO and Inspector General studies and extra reporting.
HR137 — TCJA Permanency Act
Rewrite of individual income tax rates would remake brackets, reshape family tax benefits, and change rules for pass‑through businesses and the alternative minimum tax.

HR2548 — Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025
Automatic, recurring sanctions on the Russian government and its affiliates. This bill would create a multi-layered sanctions regime that forces mandatory measures within 15 days of a covered determination and requires reassessment every 90 days. - U.S. financial institutions and investors: Banks, brokers, and U.S. investment funds would be barred from processing transfers to the Russian Federation, buying Russian sovereign debt, or making monetary investments in entities owned or controlled by the Russian government. Many prohibitions would take effect within 15 days of a covered determination and recur every 90 days. - Energy, trade, and commodities: The bill would ban U.S. exports of energy to Russia, bar investments in the Russian energy sector, and prohibit imports of uranium sourced from Russia or Rosatom. It would also raise duties on imports from Russia to not less than 500 percent and allow similar duties on third countries trading in Russian-origin energy commodities. - Individuals, exchanges, and payment networks: High‑ranking Russian officials, oligarchs, and sector actors would face property blocks and visa ineligibility under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The SEC would be directed to bar listing or trading of Russian‑affiliated issuers and global financial messaging providers could be sanctioned for continuing service to designated banks.
HR4145 — Ensuring Justice for Camp Lejeune Victims Act of 2025
Clarifies and reorganizes how Camp Lejeune water‑contamination claims are proved and handled in court, with new rules on venue, evidence, attorney fees, and retroactive effect. The bill would change where victims file claims, what plaintiffs must prove about exposure and harm, set caps on contingency fees, and make those changes apply back to August 10, 2022. - Families and victims: Plaintiffs would need to show a link between the type of contaminant and their injury and that they were at Camp Lejeune for at least 30 days. The evidentiary rule requires proof that a causal relationship either exists or is at least as likely as not. - Courts and cases: The bill removes the rule forcing initial filing only in the Eastern District of North Carolina. That court would still control coordinated pretrial work, but cases may be transferred for pretrial and trial to the Eastern, Middle, or Western Districts of North Carolina or the District of South Carolina. Jurors may decide trials and courts must resolve these cases on an expedited schedule. - Attorneys and fees: Contingency fee caps would be 20 percent for settlements reached before a civil action is filed and 25 percent for settlements or judgments after filing. Fee splits between firms must match the work performed and attorneys may agree to lower fees. The changes would take effect as if enacted on August 10, 2022 and apply to any claim under Section 804 that is pending or filed on or after enactment.
