5 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
If enacted, the Census Bureau and BLS would add AI adoption and use questions to major surveys within 1 year. Surveys named include the Annual Business Survey, Current Population Survey, Occupational Requirements Survey, American Time Use Survey, and Business Trends and Outlook. Questions would cover AI type, tasks or occupations affected, training and skills, intensity of use, and work outcomes. No new appropriations are authorized for this change.
If enacted, the Labor Secretary would set up an Artificial Intelligence Workforce Research Hub within 90 days to study AI workforce effects. The Hub could take staff from federal, state, local, or private sources and would stop its duties 4 years after enactment. The bill would let the Secretary appoint up to 20 AI or data experts in excepted service jobs, pay up to GS-15 step 10, and allow recruitment and retention incentives within an annual pay cap equal to the Vice President's pay. The Department would also open public comment within 45 days and hold an expert workshop within 180 days, then one workshop each year; $2 million and $6 million are authorized for parts of these activities for 2026–2030, and no new separate appropriation is authorized for the Hub itself.
If enacted, the Labor Secretary would publish a list of at least 15 AI‑sensitive occupations within 240 days and produce 2-, 4-, and 8‑year prediction-interval forecasts for them at least annually. The bill would fund forecast transparency, evaluations, and a public machine-readable archive and authorizes $18 million for 2026–2030. The Census Bureau would run a job-to-job pilot to publish a quarterly worker flow series, with the first series due within 18 months and pilot rules ending 4 years after enactment. The National Institute of Standards and Technology would run at least one prize competition within 270 days to build AI automation benchmarks; $7 million is authorized for related activities.
If enacted, the Labor Department would run a voluntary program for AI developers and employers to share anonymized data about AI use in workplaces. Shared data would be used only for statistics, kept confidential and exempt from FOIA, and could not be used for enforcement or antitrust actions. The Secretary would publish a roster of participants, aggregate statistics at least every 6 months, and report to Congress within 2 years. The bill authorizes $7 million for 2026–2030 for this program.
If enacted, employers would have to say in WARN Act mass layoff notices if AI was a substantial factor. Notices would need to describe the type and use of AI, estimate the percent of job loss due to AI, and list any upskilling or retraining steps taken. Employers could rely on a good-faith statement and estimate. The Labor Department would issue guidance within 300 days on how to determine AI's contribution. This rule would apply to notices issued one year 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.
S2511 — College Transparency Act
a federal Postsecondary Student Data System would be created to collect student-level records that track enrollment, progression, completion, costs, financial aid, and postcollege outcomes. The system would also aim to reduce duplicative reporting for institutions and provide secure, de-identified data for research and policymaking. - Students and families would get a public consumer website and an analytic tool with customizable filters, cross‑institution and program comparisons, and contextual figures like national medians to help compare outcomes. - Institutions that receive Title IV federal student aid would be required to submit the specified student-level data or submit aggregate data if a law prohibits student-level reporting. The bill would phase in submission requirements four years after enactment and allows non‑Title IV institutions to participate voluntarily. It also repeals the prior ban on creating a student-level postsecondary system. - Privacy and limits on use would be central. The system would exclude defined sensitive fields such as health records and exact addresses, ban sale and unlawful disclosure of personally identifiable information, and impose penalties for violations. It would permit secure, periodic matches with agencies like the IRS, Social Security Administration, Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, Census Bureau, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Office of Federal Student Aid and would provide de-identified data to vetted researchers under NCES review.
S1816 — Improving Seniors’ Timely Access to Care Act of 2025
This bill would force Medicare Advantage plans to adopt a standardized, electronic prior authorization system and publish detailed approval and denial data to speed patient access and enable oversight. It sets deadlines for transparency and electronic processing and creates reporting and real-time decision rules to shrink delays and reveal how plans use automation.
S339 — Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act
Medicare coverage for multi-cancer early detection screening tests. This bill would let the Secretary of Health and Human Services set who is eligible, define which tests qualify, and set payment amounts and standards while limiting tests by age and frequency. - Older Medicare beneficiaries: People would be eligible starting at age 68 in 2028, with the age limit rising by one year each year. Each person could get one test every 11 months. - Patients and clinicians: Covered tests must be FDA-cleared, classified, or approved and must be genomic blood tests that analyze cell-free nucleic acids or provide comparable results. The Secretary must determine a test is reasonable and necessary before Medicare pays. - Medicare program and providers: Coverage decisions would use the national coverage determination process and follow a defined, phased payment schedule. The bill also includes an exception tied to U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommendations when they endorse broader preventive screening.
