If enacted, the program would get $30 million per year for fiscal years 2025 through 2034. Communities and water managers would be newly able to apply, including acequia associations and public stormwater or wastewater entities. Projects could also take place on non‑Federal land next to National Forests only with the landowner's express support and partnership. At least 20% of program funds would go to non‑Federal partner technical help, and at least 10% of a listed subgroup would support partner planning for water source management. The Secretary would be directed to prioritize projects that reduce drought, wildfire, flooding, and improve water supply, quality, and resilience using nature‑based solutions and science‑based plans. The bill would also say federal law would not override State water law and would not allow Federal acquisition of non‑Federal land for these projects.

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.
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.
S199 — A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide special rules for the taxation of certain residents of Taiwan with income from sources within the United States.
special withholding and tax rules for qualified residents of Taiwan. This bill would create a statutory regime that lowers or adjusts withholding on many U.S.-source items and defines who counts as a qualified Taiwan resident. It would also authorize negotiation of a formal U.S.–Taiwan income tax Agreement and set rules for how that deal is reviewed and implemented. - Taiwan residents and investors would get a special withholding framework for U.S. dividends, interest, royalties, wages, and certain gains. Most dividends would face a default 10 percent withholding and a 15 percent rate applies for some specified dividends. - Qualification and entity tests would limit who can use the lower rates by applying 50 percent ownership and income thresholds and a 12-month lookback to ownership. The bill also caps favorable treatment for entertainment and athletic income at $30,000 per year. - The bill would give the Executive authority to negotiate a bilateral Agreement with Taiwan while requiring Congressional notice and review. It requires a 15-day pre-notice before talks and submission of the final text and implementation plan to Congress within 270 days.
S963 — Space National Guard Establishment Act of 2025
Creates a Space National Guard as the reserve component of the U.S. Space Force. It would establish a federally recognized, space-focused National Guard built from specified Air National Guard units and require use of existing facilities. - Guard members and units: The bill would transfer listed space operations staff and enumerated Air National Guard units into the Space National Guard and make all members part of the Space Force reserve. It would limit personnel assignments to those units listed. - States and command: Seven States — Alaska, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, New York, and Ohio — are the only ones named to host Space National Guard units and each unit would remain organized under that State's Assistant Adjutant General for the Air Force. - Leadership and law: It would create a Director of the Space National Guard at the rank of brigadier general who reports to the Director of the Air National Guard and would add new definitions and sections to Title 10 and Title 32 to integrate the component. - Facilities and oversight: The Space National Guard would use facilities and installations constructed before enactment and generally could not build or modify sites to accommodate it. The bill would require implementation within one year and joint briefings to congressional defense committees within 90 days and annually for 5 years on missions, personnel, and budget needs.
S472 — Ski Hill Resources for Economic Development Act
Keeps most ski-area permit rental fees local to fund ski-area management and nearby recreation. It would create a Ski Area Fee Retention Account in the Treasury to hold ski-area rental charges and allow the Forest Service to spend them without further appropriation. - Local National Forest units that collect ski-area rental charges would receive 80% of fees collected at that unit for local uses. Seventy-five percent of that local share would go to administration, permit processing, visitor services, fee collection costs, staff training, and planning or reducing wildfire risk near recreation sites while 25% would fund repairs, maintenance, parking, law enforcement, avalanche information, search and rescue, and related visitor access projects. - Twenty percent of deposited fees would be available for use at any unit of the National Forest System for the same recreation and safety activities. The bill lets the Secretary reduce the local percentage to no less than 60% if a covered unit has more fee revenue than reasonable needs, with the excess distributed agency-wide. - Funds in the Ski Area Fee Retention Account would be available without further appropriation and remain available for four fiscal years. The bill prohibits using Account funds for wildfire suppression or land acquisition and preserves Granger-Thye cost-sharing rules for ski areas. The bill would create a dedicated Treasury account to let the Forest Service retain and spend ski-area permit rental fees directly for ski-area operations and recreation projects.
S1032 — Major Richard Star Act
Allows full concurrent receipt of military retired pay and veterans' disability compensation for combat-related disabilities. This bill would prevent the usual 38 U.S.C. 5304 and 5305 offsets when calculating Combat-Related Special Compensation and add a monthly rule for Chapter 61 disability retirees. - Combat-disabled retirees: Would allow Combat-Related Special Compensation recipients to have their retired pay treated so it is not reduced by 38 U.S.C. 5304 or 5305 when figuring concurrent payments. - Chapter 61 disability retirees: Would let members retired under Chapter 61 who also receive veterans' disability compensation for a combat-related disability be paid both benefits for the same month without those 38 U.S.C. offsets. - Administrative and timing changes: Would remove phase-in language, update headings and cross references, and take effect the first day of the month after enactment for payments beginning that month.
