If enacted, VA would start a pilot within one year to provide doula services to pregnant and recently pregnant veterans. Enrolled veterans would be eligible for up to 10 doula sessions (3–4 prenatal, 1 during labor, 3–4 postpartum; postpartum sessions may be by VA Video Connect). The pilot would run in selected VA regions and require a Doula Service Coordinator at each participating facility. The Office of Women's Health could recommend payment rates not to exceed $3,500 per doula per veteran. VA would provide technical help, require doula training on military sexual trauma and PTSD, consult stakeholders, and report annually to Congress with a final recommendation on wider use.
If enacted, the bill would authorize appropriations to the Secretary of Veterans Affairs of such sums as may be necessary for each of fiscal years 2027 through 2032 to carry out the doula pilot. The bill does not set dollar amounts. Actual funding would depend on future congressional appropriations.

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.
S761 — Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding School Policies Act of 2025
Establishes a federally funded Truth and Healing Commission to investigate the history and long‑term harms of Indian boarding schools and to center survivor testimony and healing. It creates a Survivors Truth and Healing Subcommittee and two advisory committees, requires culturally informed convenings and archiving, and designates funding to support the work. - Survivors and communities: Creates structured, trauma‑informed hearings and convenings so survivors, descendants, and communities can give testimony, influence memorialization, and guide handling of burial sites and artifacts. - Tribal and Native organizations: Requires meaningful consultation with Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations and forms a 19‑member Native American Truth and Healing Advisory Committee to help collect records and shape the Commission’s reports. - Federal agencies and religious institutions: Sets up a 20‑member Federal and Religious Truth and Healing Advisory Committee to coordinate records and submissions and exempts certain committee records from FOIA and the Privacy Act. Designates $90.0 million, drawn from specified prior appropriations, to carry out the Commission and related activities.
S1507 — Agriculture Resilience Act of 2025
Bold goal: cut greenhouse gas pollution from U.S. agriculture to net zero by 2040 and at least 50% by 2030. The bill directs USDA to write and report on an Action Plan, expand research and extension, beef up conservation and soil health programs, and fund rural energy, manure alternatives, food‑waste reduction, and labeling rules to shrink emissions and boost climate resilience.
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.
S1245 — Servicemembers and Veterans Empowerment and Support Act of 2025
Would standardize and strengthen how the Department of Veterans Affairs evaluates and handles military sexual trauma (MST) claims. It sets clear MST definitions for health care and for disability compensation and pairs those rules with new processes, training, and outreach to reach more survivors and improve decision accuracy. - Veterans and claimants: Creates a dedicated MST claims-evaluation framework that requires trained specialized teams to process all MST-related disability claims. Claimants can supply corroborating evidence and must get a 14-day notice with MST coordinator and crisis resources after filing. - Service members and former students: Expands MST counseling and treatment eligibility to all former members of the Reserve Components and lets people who withdraw from or do not complete service academies obtain service treatment records and related investigative reports. - VA operations and oversight: Requires a VA workgroup to rewrite sensitive communications, mandatory staff training, an independent study and public report within one year, and annual statistically based reviews that require reprocessing claims when errors are found.
S554 — United States-Israel Defense Partnership Act of 2025
Deepens U.S.–Israel defense cooperation by creating funded joint programs, tech partnerships, and reporting rules that would accelerate counter-unmanned systems, emerging defense technologies, and regional defense integration. - Would require the Department of Defense to assess integrated air and missile defense in the Central Command region and deliver a final unclassified report within 180 days to guide what authorities and funding would be needed to expand cooperation. - Would create an Emerging Defense Technology Capabilities Program for joint R&D in AI, cybersecurity, robotics, quantum, and automation, designate a DoD lead directorate, and authorize $50 million a year for 2026–2030. - Would establish a U.S.–Israel Counter-Unmanned Systems Program with $150 million a year for 2026–2030, increase authorized funding for anti-tunnel work to $80 million and for counter–unmanned aerial systems to $75 million, and require regular reporting, cost-sharing, and IP agreements. Would authorize at least $200 million per year from 2026–2030 for the two new programs and raise funding caps for other programs, increasing federal spending.
