If enacted, the Agriculture Secretary would set up a grant program within 2 years to support nurseries and seed orchards. Grants would go to State forestry agencies, Indian Tribes, and qualifying private nurseries. Grant money would pay to expand nursery capacity, collect and store seed, increase seedling production and distribution, buy equipment, support quality control, and train workers.

HR4669 — FEMA Act of 2025
FEMA becomes an independent, cabinet-level agency with a clarified all-hazards mission and consolidated federal leadership for preparedness, response, recovery, mitigation, and interoperable communications. The bill also rewrites large parts of the Stafford Act to speed repairs, expand assistance, strengthen mitigation, and publish new public dashboards for disaster spending and individual aid metrics. - Families and disaster survivors: Expands housing help with a FEMA Emergency Home Repair program, authorizes direct repair assistance, and extends some temporary assistance periods from 18 to 24 months. Noncongregate sheltering can be provided without a fixed address and states cannot require a credit card for hoteling. - State, Tribal, and local governments and utilities: Creates expedited Section 409 grants for repairing public and qualifying nonprofit facilities with a Federal share floor of 75% and incentives up to 85% for resilience. Offers small-disaster block grants equal to 80% of the estimated Federal public assistance share and sets a Tribal hazard-mitigation minimum of $75.0 million per year. - Private nonprofits and houses of worship: Treats private nonprofits and houses of worship as eligible for assistance without regard to religious character and expands nonprofit closeout and eligibility parity with governments.
HR3077 — Agriculture Resilience Act of 2025
This bill centers on achieving net-zero agricultural greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 through a broad federal strategy of on-farm changes, research, and large-scale funding. It sets interim goals including a 50% cut in agricultural emissions by 2030 and targets for soil carbon, cover crops, agroforestry, grazing, renewable energy, and food-waste reduction while directing new research hubs and breed development funding to support the transition. - Farmers and ranchers: Expands conservation programs, adds premium discounts for defined climate-smart practices in crop insurance starting with the 2026 reinsurance year, and funds on-farm projects like a $1.5 billion Alternative Manure Management Program for FY2026–2030. These changes tie payments and contracts to multi-year conservation and soil-health plans. - Underserved and Tribal producers: Prioritizes technical assistance and grants, requires targeted outreach, and reserves TA and grant set-asides to help beginning, veteran, socially disadvantaged, limited-resource, and Tribal producers access programs and markets. - Food systems and consumers: Creates mandatory standards and verification for animal-raising label claims within two years, standardizes voluntary date labels with a two-year rulemaking timeline, and funds composting and food-waste grants including $100 million annually for State projects. This bill would increase federal spending by authorizing multi-year mandatory and discretionary funding lines, including sizable CCC additions and program appropriations.

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.
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.
