If enacted, medically necessary diapers and diapering supplies would be eligible for reimbursement from HSAs, Archer MSAs, FSAs, and HRAs. The change would apply to expenses paid after December 31, 2025. The bill defines medically necessary diapers (including age and provider diagnosis rules) and limits diapering supplies to items needed for proper cleaning and protection.
If enacted, the bill would add new federal diaper funding and rules. It would appropriate $200 million each year for FY2026–FY2029. The bill also sets the Social Services Block Grant baseline to $1.9 billion for FY2026–FY2029. The Secretary may reserve up to 2% each year for a national technical assistance group and up to $3 million in FY2026 for an evaluation. States would be limited to 5% for State administrative costs. The funding would be exempt from across-the-board sequestration after enactment.
If enacted, the program would let low-income families get diapers for children under age 4. 'Low-income' would be self-certified at 200% of the Federal poverty line. Children age 3 or older who are medically complex could get medically necessary diapers if a licensed provider diagnoses a chronic condition. Adults with disabilities and low-income adults could get adult incontinence supplies. Diaper help from this program would not count against other federal needs-based benefits. Disposable diapers under the program must meet quality and allergy rules.
If enacted, HHS would have to issue implementation guidance within 180 days. HHS must complete an evaluation not later than 2 years after enactment and update it by year 3. The updated evaluation results must be reported to Congress and published, with another report within 120 days after the update. States must add detailed diaper distribution data to annual SSBG reports for FY2026–FY2029.

S2903 — Safe Step Act
Creates a mandatory, transparent exceptions process for medication step therapy so patients and prescribers can quickly request coverage of a non-preferred drug when medically needed. The bill sets timelines, standard forms, and public notice rules to make exception requests faster and clearer. - Patients and prescribers would get a clear path to request exceptions, submit clinical rationale on a standard paper or electronic form, and designate a third-party advocate. Plans must respond within 72 hours for routine requests and within 24 hours for emergencies, and granted exceptions must remain covered for at least one year. - Group health plans and insurers would have to publish the process, forms, required supporting information, and contact details on plan materials and websites. The bill limits information requests to what is strictly necessary and stops pharmacy benefit managers or third-party administrators from withholding data needed for reporting. - Plans would report counts and outcomes of exception requests by circumstance, specialty, and condition starting not later than three years after enactment and each year thereafter by October 1. The Secretary of Labor would compile a Congressional summary of trends, and the Secretary must issue final implementing regulations within six months with the rule applying to plan years that begin at least six months after enactment.
S1748 — Kids Online Safety Act
Protecting minors online is the core aim of the Kids Online Safety Act, which would make platforms that serve young users adopt a legal duty of care, add parental controls and safeguards, and force more transparency about recommendation algorithms. The bill targets design features that boost minor engagement and limits certain research on children to reduce mental-health and harassment risks. - Families and minors: The bill would define a "child" as under 13 and a "minor" as under 17, require verifiable parental consent for known children, and give parents tools to control privacy, purchases, and autoplay for streaming. - Platforms and products: Covered services would face limits on personalized design features, a ban on market research involving children under 13, and public reporting and independent audits of safeguards, including detailed de-identified data on minor usage for platforms with over 10 million monthly U.S. users. - Regulators, schools, and tech oversight: The Federal Trade Commission would enforce the rules with state attorneys general able to act as well, a Kids Online Safety Council of 11 members would advise and report within 1 and 3 years, and a separate title would force notice and opt-outs for "opaque" algorithms and let users switch to input-transparent systems.
S1552 — Living Donor Protection Act of 2025
Prohibits insurance discrimination against living organ donors and expands workplace leave to cover donation surgery and recovery. It also directs federal health agencies to update public education on living donation. - Stops life, disability, and long-term care insurers from denying, cancelling, refusing to issue, or changing coverage or premiums solely because someone is a living organ or bone marrow donor when no unique actuarial risk exists. Enforcement is handled by State insurance regulators. - Adds organ donation, preparation for donation, and recovery to the Family and Medical Leave Act and to federal civil service leave rules. Federal employees who use part of the 12-week FMLA leave to donate may substitute other available leave where possible. - Requires the Department of Health and Human Services, in coordination with the Department of Labor as appropriate, to review and update educational materials and can issue public service announcements and web updates within six months to explain the changes and resources.
S1241 — Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025
Harsh, automatic sanctions and trade penalties would be triggered if Russia refuses to negotiate with Ukraine, violates a peace deal, invades again, or seeks to subvert Ukraine's government. The bill would require visa and property-blocking sanctions, target major Russian banks, ban U.S. energy exports to Russia, restrict U.S. investments and listings tied to Russia, and force duties of at least 500% on Russian imports.
S237 — Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act of 2025
Would create a presumption that certain exposure-related cancers in public safety officers are line-of-duty injuries. It sets a defined list of covered cancers, a process to add new cancers, and rules for who qualifies for death or permanent disability benefits.
S2823 — FAMILY Act
Creates a national paid family and medical leave insurance program that would pay monthly benefits to people who take caregiving or medical leave. The program centers administration at the Social Security Administration and sets eligibility, benefit formulas, state grant rules, and data-sharing to prevent fraud. - Families: People taking leave for caregiving or a serious health condition would get monthly wage-replacement benefits based on a tiered formula that starts at 85% for low wages and steps down for higher earnings. Initial benefit thresholds in 2026 include $1,257 and $3,500 and the law sets a minimum and maximum monthly benefit. - Workers and applicants: Eligibility would depend on wages or self-employment income over the most recent eight quarters with an initial earnings test of $2,000 in 2026. Benefit periods are measured over a year, applications can request retroactive coverage up to 365 days, and the bill requires certifications and appeals processes. - States, employers, and administration: The bill preserves and coordinates with state leave laws by creating a "legacy State" category and an annual grant program starting in 2027 for qualifying States, with up to 7% allowed for administrative costs. It would create an Office of Paid Family and Medical Leave inside SSA to run the program, share data with federal and state partners, and require periodic GAO reviews.
