Became Law
Designates the United States Postal Service facility at 223 West Chalan Santo Papa in Hagatna, Guam as the "Atanasio Taitano Perez Post Office." This law makes that name the official reference for the building in laws, maps, regulations, and other records. The naming is purely honorary and does not change Postal Service funding, staffing, operations, or governance.

117-hr-3525, Commission To Study the Potential Creation of a National Museum of Asian Pacific American History and Culture Act
This law creates a commission to study and plan a National Museum of Asian Pacific American History and Culture in Washington, DC. The Commission will assess feasibility, costs, collections, governance, location options, and produce a fundraising plan and legislative recommendations within 18 months of its first meeting. - Asian Pacific American communities and scholars gain a formal role in museum design and outreach through required guidance on engagement and an optional national conference within 18 months. - Museums and the Smithsonian face a required assessment of impact, collections availability, storage and maintenance needs, and site criteria to inform where and how a new museum could fit. - Congress gets a fundraising plan and an independent review that aim to finance construction and ongoing operations without federal appropriations, plus a legislative action plan for relevant House and Senate committees. The Commission is not funded with federal funds and must cover its expenses through gifts and contributions.
117-hr-1652, VOCA Fix to Sustain the Crime Victims Fund Act of 2021
Stabilizes and expands support for crime victims by boosting funding and raising compensation levels. The law directs new settlement money into the Crime Victims Fund and increases the share paid to victims. - Victims and families: Payouts go up. The law raises the compensation share to 75% of eligible costs and stops programs from deducting collections from restitution or subrogation when calculating awards. - Victim compensation programs: More funding sources and clearer rules. Deferred prosecution and non-prosecution agreement payments may be deposited into the Crime Victims Fund and "recovery costs" are redefined to cover personnel expenses tied to collection efforts. - Chief executives and emergency response: States get more flexibility. Chief executives may waive required matching contributions if they publish waiver policies, and they must waive matching in full for eligible programs during a pandemic national emergency from the declaration date until one year after the emergency ends. Requires Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) scoring and public reporting of the law's budgetary effects.
117-hr-521, First Responder Fair RETIRE Act
Preserves retirement creditable service and annuity eligibility for certain federal first responders who are permanently unable to return to their covered role because of an on‑duty illness or injury. The law creates a cross‑agency pathway so time spent in a related non‑covered supervisory or administrative job can count as covered service for annuity calculations.
117-hr-1799, PPP Extension Act of 2021
Extends the Paycheck Protection Program covered period to June 30, 2021. This law replaces the prior March 31 deadline and adds a short transition window that limits new lender sign-ups in June. - Small businesses and nonprofits: They can apply for PPP loans through June 30, 2021, giving more time to seek loan relief. - Lenders and potential PPP lenders: From June 1 through June 30, 2021 the Small Business Administration will not accept new lender applications and will only process those submitted before June 1. - Federal budget scoring: The law directs that its budgetary effects not be entered on Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) scorecards.
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.
117-hr-2441, Sgt. Ketchum Rural Veterans Mental Health Act of 2021
This law expands access to intensive mental health care for rural veterans by directing the Department of Veterans Affairs to establish three new Rural Access Network for Growth Enhancement (RANGE) centers in areas of need and facility interest. It also requires the Government Accountability Office to study whether VA has enough intensive mental health resources, how best to expand and locate them, demand and average wait times, and deaths by suicide or overdose while veterans are on waitlists, with a report due within 18 months. - Rural veterans: Gain three new RANGE centers targeted to areas of greatest need, aiming to reach veterans who need care beyond traditional outpatient therapy. - VA operations: The Secretary must establish the centers during fiscal year 2022 and the law authorizes $1.2 million per year for each of FY2022–FY2024 to support implementation. - Oversight and planning: The Government Accountability Office will assess the sufficiency and placement of VA’s intensive mental health services, measure demand and wait times, and count suicides or overdoses while veterans wait, then report findings to congressional veterans committees within 18 months. Authorizes up to $3.6 million over FY2022–FY2024 for the new centers and, if appropriated, would increase federal spending.
