2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
If enacted, the bill would reduce a State's child care grant when its reported improper payment rate is high. Over 6 percent and under 8 percent would trigger a 5 percent cut. 8 percent to under 10 percent would trigger a 10 percent cut. 10 percent or more would trigger a 15 percent cut. Those cuts would continue each program period until the Secretary certifies the State fixed the problems and submitted required data. The bill would also clarify the Secretary may withhold CCDBG funds from a State that violates the subchapter or its regulations.
If enacted, each State would have to report its improper payment rate for child care grants by June 30 of each program period. If a State reports a rate above 6 percent, it would have 60 days to file a corrective action plan to lower the rate to 6 percent or less. Plans must include verified child attendance records in aggregated form that do not identify individual children. The bill would define "improper payment" to include payments that are too high or too low, paid to ineligible children, or payments that cannot be verified.

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.
HR925 — Dismantle DEI Act of 2025
Bans many federal Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) practices across the federal government. The bill would define a narrow set of "prohibited DEI practices," require agencies to end DEI offices and related programs, and block similar DEI requirements for contractors, grantees, accrediting bodies, and parts of the military and financial regulators.
HR1422 — Enhanced Iran Sanctions Act of 2025
Expands U.S. sanctions on Iran's oil and petrochemical sectors to cut off funding for weapons, missiles, drones, and terrorism. The Enhanced Iran Sanctions Act of 2025 broadens who can be sanctioned and adds immigration and enforcement tools to target evasion and facilitation.
HR1919 — Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act
Bars the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC) or any similar digital asset. It would also stop Fed banks from offering accounts or financial products to individuals and prevent using a CBDC to carry out monetary policy, while leaving a narrow exception for an open, permissionless, privacy-preserving dollar-like currency. - Households and individuals: Would block the Fed from holding accounts for people or providing financial products directly, limiting any direct relationship between individuals and Federal Reserve banks. - Federal Reserve and monetary policy: Would ban the Board of Governors from testing, studying, developing, creating, or implementing a CBDC and bar the Fed and the Federal Open Market Committee from using a CBDC to conduct monetary policy. - Banks and intermediaries: Would forbid the Fed from indirectly offering a CBDC through banks or other intermediaries, but exempts a fully private, open, dollar-denominated currency that preserves cash-level privacy.
HR425 — Repealing Big Brother Overreach Act
Repeal of the Corporate Transparency Act would end the federal program for collecting beneficial ownership information and withdraw CTA implementation. It would also roll back related changes in the Anti-Money Laundering Act and update references in the U.S. Code. - Companies that would have reported beneficial owners would no longer have to file federal beneficial-ownership reports. - Anti-money laundering agencies and law enforcement would lose a statutory reporting channel when the linked AMLA provisions are repealed. - Federal statutes and cross-references would be adjusted, including edits to 31 U.S.C. sections and Title LXV of the Anti-Money Laundering Act, to reflect the repeal.
HR45 — FIND Act
Prevents federal contractors from excluding or limiting businesses in the firearm and ammunition industry. The bill would create a new procurement rule that requires prime contractors and many subcontractors to certify they have no policies that discriminate against defined firearm entities or firearm trade associations. - Firearm and ammunition businesses and trade associations: Would block contractors from refusing services, limiting operations beyond law, or making category-based exclusions against defined firearm entities or trade groups. - Prime contractors and subcontractors: Prime contractors must include a no-discrimination certification and may not award a first-tier subcontract worth more than 10 percent of the prime contract to an uncertified entity. The bill bans structuring tiers to evade that limit. - Federal agencies: Agency contracting officials would be required to add the certification and subcontract limits into procurement contracts for goods and services. A narrow sole-source exception is included. - Enforcement: A contractor that violates the clause would face termination for default and initiation of suspension or debarment proceedings.
