If enacted, the SBA would be required to help small businesses evaluate and use artificial intelligence in their operations. The SBA would provide information, guidance, and training on AI best practices and on protecting data and intellectual property. It would also cover cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, customer trust, planning for unexpected events, and how to add AI to operations. The bill would not authorize any new funding. Agencies would need to use existing funds or wait for Congress to provide money. That could limit how quickly SBA help starts.

S524 — Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2025
Coast Guard capacity is the focus: the bill funds operations, raises staffing targets, and rewrites acquisition rules to modernize ships, aircraft, and maintenance. It pairs specific dollar authorizations with new buying rules and reporting on icebreakers and polar cutters. - Coast Guard personnel and readiness gain explicit targets. Total end strength is raised from 2,500 to 3,000 and aircraft crew levels from 165 to 200, with higher training capacity metrics. - Shipbuilders and the Coast Guard Yard face new procurement rules and reporting. The bill creates Service Life Extension Programs, requires life‑cycle cost estimates, reclassifies major projects, and limits floating drydocks to U.S. construction and defined acquisition paths. The minor construction threshold rises to $2 million. - Great Lakes and Arctic operations get clearer plans and oversight. The Commandant must deliver a Great Lakes icebreaker design and run a five‑season pilot to target keeping key waterways open 95% of the time. A Polar Security Cutter acquisition report is due within 120 days and regular briefings follow. Authorizes roughly $11.3 billion for FY2025 and $11.9 billion for FY2026 for the Coast Guard primary account, plus other specified accounts and retiree costs, representing near‑term federal outlays for operations and acquisitions.
S1541 — SHIPS for America Act of 2025
Expand U.S. shipbuilding and maritime capacity for national and economic security. The SHIPS for America Act of 2025 would create a broad statutory framework to grow U.S.-flag fleets, boost domestic shipbuilding and repair, modernize mariner credentials and training, and fund ports, cable repair, and maritime innovation. - Mariners and students would get credential modernization, new scholarships and loan-forgiveness eligibility, and major academy support including about $125.0 million per year for the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy FY2026–FY2035. - U.S. shipyards and builders would gain new financing tools and incentives including a Title XI revolving loan start of $100.0 million and $100.0 million per year for small shipyard assistance FY2026–FY2035. - Commercial shipping, ports, and national security would be reshaped by stronger cargo-preference rules, tariff and tonnage-tax penalties for foreign-of-concern shipyards, and a Strategic Commercial Fleet with targets of at least 10 vessels in year three and 20 vessels per year thereafter. If enacted, it would authorize a Maritime Security Trust Fund capped at $20.0 billion and multiple annual appropriations and program payments through FY2035, increasing federal spending obligations over the next decade.
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.
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.
