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.
S1261 — CONNECT for Health Act of 2025
Expands Medicare telehealth access by removing location limits and updating how telehealth is paid and overseen. It would also strengthen program integrity, require provider and beneficiary supports, modernize quality measures, and publish telehealth data. - Families, seniors, and underserved patients would gain broader access because the bill removes Medicare geographic and originating-site restrictions and lifts the six-month prior in-person rule for telemental health. It explicitly expands access for Indian Health Service and tribal facilities effective January 1, 2026. - Providers and clinics would see payment and staffing changes because telehealth furnishing at Federally Qualified Health Centers and Rural Health Clinics would be folded into existing payment systems and the Secretary could waive practitioner-type limits starting October 1, 2025 with public notice and periodic review. - Oversight, quality, and transparency would increase through a new fraud and advertising framework, outlier-billing thresholds with education and public reporting, dedicated HHS Office of Inspector General telehealth oversight funding through 2030, a quality-measure review within 180 days, and CMS quarterly public reporting of telehealth use and outcomes.
S315 — AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act of 2025
Requires AM radio as standard equipment in new passenger vehicles. The bill would direct the Department of Transportation to write a rule so cars include devices that receive AM broadcasts or In Band On Channel digital AM and make those features easy for drivers to use. - Drivers and households: New passenger vehicles would offer built-in access to AM broadcasts for news, entertainment, and emergency alerts, helping preserve a widely used channel for crisis communications. - Automakers: Manufacturers would need to include AM-capable devices as standard equipment or, until the rule takes effect, clearly label vehicles that lack AM and not charge extra for access. Most makers would face a 2 to 3 year compliance window while manufacturers that produced 40,000 or fewer vehicles in 2022 would get at least 4 years. The rule would preempt state laws that require or restrict AM access in cars. - Emergency management and oversight: The Comptroller General would study how emergency alerts reach the public, consult broad stakeholders, brief Congress within 1 year, and deliver a report 180 days after that briefing. DOT, FEMA, and the FCC would also provide impact reports to Congress at least every 5 years.
