S2968 — Outdoor Americans with Disabilities Act
This bill would make disability-accessible public land a central planning goal and require the Forest Service and Interior to update travel and motor vehicle use plans to favor keeping routes open. - People with disabilities and outdoor visitors: would get a clear benchmark for access because a "disability-accessible" square mile must have at least 2.5 miles of authorized roads, and agencies could not close roads if that would strip the designation except for very recent temporary roads or direct health and safety threats. - Land managers and local partners: would have to prioritize revising travel management and motor vehicle use maps using new criteria, coordinate with federal, state, county, local, and Tribal governments, and consider reopening roads closed in the prior 10 years while keeping authority to revise routes as conditions change. - Wildfire, public safety, and public input: closures that would hinder fuels reduction, wildfire response, or search and rescue are prohibited, most closures require notice and a hearing, and some closures or new route establishments may be categorically excluded from NEPA unless extraordinary circumstances arise.
S3752 — SAVE America Act
Would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship and a tangible photo ID to register and vote in federal elections. It would create a nationwide verification system using DHS SAVE, Social Security Administration checks, and state DMV and other databases and would expand removal rules, private lawsuits, and criminal penalties for registration violations. - Voters and registrants: People seeking to register for federal office would need to present listed documents such as a U.S. passport, REAL ID showing citizenship, naturalization certificate, or certified birth records. Those without documents could use a uniform affidavit under penalty of perjury as an alternative. - State and election agencies: Motor vehicle agencies and voter registration offices would have to collect and verify documentary proof and regularly cross-check SAVE, SSA, and state records. Federal departments would be required to provide verification data on request and, where practicable, within 24 hours to support verification. - Voting process and enforcement: In-person voters would need a tangible photo ID and absentee voters would include an ID copy with requests and ballots. The bill would add a mechanism to remove registrants verified as noncitizens and broaden private rights of action and criminal penalties for assisting improper registration.
S587 — Death Tax Repeal Act of 2025
Repeal of the estate and generation-skipping transfer taxes. This bill would eliminate those transfer taxes for decedents dying and GST transfers occurring after enactment and would overhaul the gift tax to raise the lifetime exemption and add a new tiered rate schedule. - Families and heirs: Heirs of people who die after enactment would no longer face the federal estate tax or the generation-skipping transfer tax. - Donors and trusts: The lifetime gift exemption would rise to $10 million, indexed for inflation, and gift tax rates would be rewritten into brackets that range from 18% up to 35% for the largest gifts. Trust transfers would be treated as taxable gifts unless the trust is wholly owned by the donor or the donor's spouse. - Implementation and timing: The changes would apply to gifts made and transfers occurring on or after enactment and include a transition rule that treats the calendar year of enactment as two separate periods for certain tax provisions.
S485 — Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act of 2025
This bill would create a new system centered on congressional approval and budgeting of major federal rules and would bring significant guidance documents and existing major rules into a stricter oversight, planning, and publication regime. - It would require Congress to pass a joint resolution of approval before a "major rule" could take effect, and a "major rule" would include any action with an annual economic effect of $100 million or large effects on families, workers, employment, or competition. - Agencies would have to send Congress and the Comptroller General a full rule package with cost–benefit analyses and related materials, and the Office of Management and Budget Director would set incremental regulatory cost allowances (defaulting to zero) while the Comptroller General must report on major-rule submissions within 15 days. - Major rules would automatically expire after 10 years unless reapproved, and the Director would review at least 10 percent of eligible rules each year; the bill also creates a private right of action to challenge agency compliance and limited judicial review and agency affirmative defenses.
S345 — SHUSH Act
This bill would reclassify and largely deregulate firearm silencers at the federal level. It would move silencers into the firearms-accessory tax category, reduce federal penalties and licensing tied to silencers, and block state and certain consumer-safety rules. - Owners and buyers: The bill would treat silencers like firearm accessories for tax law and create a two-year retroactive window for certain transfer taxes. It would also say people who acquired or possess silencers in line with Chapter 44 meet the National Firearms Act registration and licensing rules in effect the day before enactment. - States and consumer regulators: It would invalidate state taxes, marking, recordkeeping, or registration requirements tied to silencers in interstate or foreign commerce and exempt silencers from Consumer Product Safety Commission regulation. - Federal enforcement and law enforcement rules: The bill would remove silencers and mufflers from the federal definition of regulated firearms, narrow criminal penalties and licensing that apply to silencers, and change carrying and authority provisions for qualified law enforcement officers.
S186 — No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2025
Blocks federal funding for abortions and for health plans that cover abortion. The bill would permanently ban the use of federal funds for abortions or for any health plan paid for in whole or in part with federal money and would bar abortions in federal facilities or by federal employees. - Families and marketplace enrollees would not be able to use premium tax credits or cost‑sharing reductions to buy plans that include abortion. They could purchase a separate abortion-only plan but would receive no federal subsidy for that coverage. - People who receive care in federal facilities and anyone served by federal employees would not get abortions paid for with federal funds. The bill extends funding restrictions to federal trust funds and the District of Columbia. Exceptions are preserved for rape, incest, and life‑threatening conditions. - Employers and insurers would face new rules. Plans that include abortion would be excluded from the small employer health insurance credit. Qualified health plans and marketplace materials would have to prominently disclose whether they cover abortion and any separate surcharge for that coverage.
