Became Law
Transfers a defined parcel of Jean Lafitte National Historical Park land to the City of Eunice, Louisiana. The law conveys all U.S. right, title, and interest in the parcels described as Lots 5 and 6, less the north 27 feet of Lot 5, Block 22 of the Original Townsite of Eunice, using the map titled "Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve, Proposed Boundary Revision and Disposal" (map no. 467/168813, Dec. 2020). The conveyed land and Lots 7 and 8 are removed from the park boundary and placed under city jurisdiction, and the referenced map is kept on file for public inspection. *The transfer is by quitclaim deed with no monetary consideration and does not authorize ongoing federal funding or program obligations.*

The law transfers specific federal lots in downtown Eunice to the City by quitclaim deed, at no cost. The parcels are Lots 5 and 6, minus the north 27 feet of Lot 5 in Block 22. When the deed is recorded, the Jean Lafitte park boundary no longer includes that land and Lots 7 and 8. The National Park Service keeps a December 2020 map on file showing these changes. No ongoing federal funding is involved.

117-hr-1448, PAWS for Veterans Therapy Act
This law creates a Department of Veterans Affairs pilot to provide canine training therapy for veterans diagnosed with post‑traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The pilot must start within 180 days, run five years, and operate at at least five VA medical centers in geographically diverse locations, and the law also requires the VA to provide a commercially available veterinary insurance policy for dogs given to eligible veterans. - Veterans: Eligible veterans with PTSD can join a program that trains them to work with service dogs and may adopt a trained dog if it is clinically appropriate. Participation does not stop veterans from getting other VA PTSD care. - Service dog training organizations: The VA may contract with accredited nongovernmental trainers. Contracts must require certified instructors, forbid shock or prong collars, use positive reinforcement, prevent unsupervised access to trained dogs, tailor training to PTSD symptoms, and provide follow‑up support including lifelong help if adoption occurs. - Oversight and evidence: The VA will collect data on participation, veteran satisfaction, and clinical improvements. The VA must arrange a Government Accountability Office briefing within one year of the pilot start and a GAO report within 270 days after the pilot ends.

117-hr-1193, Cardiovascular Advances in Research and Opportunities Legacy Act
This law expands federal efforts to increase research, awareness, and prevention of valvular heart diseases. It directs the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Health and Human Services to support research, hold a mitral valve prolapse workshop, fund prevention and awareness projects, and improve public health data on cardiac arrests. - Researchers: The NIH and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute can fund studies using advanced imaging and other methods to learn causes and risk factors. The Institute must convene a workshop within two years to identify research needs and recommendations for mitral valve prolapse, including risks for sudden cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death. - Patients and families: HHS can award grants and contracts and provide technical assistance to improve public awareness of symptoms and risk factors. Projects may be prioritized for populations most affected by valvular heart diseases. - Public health and clinicians: The law supports continuing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention activities, aims to improve data quality on out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, and requires HHS to identify and share best practices for health care providers. Authorizes up to $28 million per year in appropriations for fiscal years 2023 through 2027 to support these research, prevention, awareness, and data activities on valvular heart diseases.
117-hr-5142, To award posthumously a Congressional Gold Medal, in commemoration to the servicemembers who perished in Afghanistan on August 26, 2021, during the evacuation of citizens of the United States and Afghan allies at Hamid Karzai International Airport, and for other purposes.

The Secretary of the Treasury will strike the gold medal, present it through the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate, and give the medal to the Smithsonian for display with a sense that the Smithsonian make it available for display outside the District of Columbia at times. The Secretary may strike and sell bronze duplicates at prices sufficient to cover costs, the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund may be charged for medal costs, and proceeds from bronze sales shall be deposited into the Fund.

Mandatory, expanded posting of the national human trafficking hotline makes help more visible across federal buildings and key transportation sites. It requires hotline contact information to appear in visible places in all Federal buildings, in restrooms at federal transportation facilities, and at each port of entry, and the postings must include phone, text, and TTY options. - People experiencing trafficking and survivors will have clearer, discreet ways to reach the hotline by phone, text, or TTY in federal buildings, transport restrooms, and at ports of entry. - Travelers using aircraft, airports, buses, bus stations, passenger trains, and railroad stations will find hotline information posted in restrooms across those federal transportation facilities within the United States. - Federal agencies and facility operators must coordinate efforts. The Department of Transportation, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Health and Human Services will work with owners and operators to place the required postings.
117-hr-5754, Patient Advocate Tracker Act
Creates a VA-wide electronic system for veterans to file and track health care complaints. The VA Director must set up an IT system within 18 months that lets a veteran or their designated representative submit a complaint online and view its status at any time, including interim and final actions taken. Each complaint must go to the appropriate patient advocate. The law does not authorize new funding or add remedies beyond the filing and tracking capability.
