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-3076, Postal Service Reform Act of 2022
Postal Service Health Benefits Program creates a USPS-specific health plan inside the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program and pairs that change with Medicare coordination and stronger postal oversight. The law also lets USPS offer new nonpostal services to raise revenue and requires much more public performance and cost transparency. - USPS employees and annuitants get a dedicated FEHB program with standard enrollment choices (self, self plus one, self and family), a transitional open season, and Medicare rules that include a special six-month Part B enrollment window beginning April 1, 2024 with coverage starting January 1, 2025; most Medicare-covered annuitants must have Part A and Part B to enroll, with specific grandfathered exceptions. - State, local, and tribal governments can buy property or nonpostal services from USPS for public, noncommercial purposes if the agreements reimburse at least 100 percent of attributable costs each year and follow new public posting and Governor-approval rules. - Oversight and performance changes require a weekly public dashboard, a PRC review of cost attribution, an Inspector General audit of PRC data, a Flats operations study with a 6-month remediation plan, and specified FY2022 funding: $7.5 million to CMS, $16.0 million to SSA, and $70.5 million to OPM. The law provides $94.0 million in FY2022 to federal agencies and requires USPS to deposit an equal amount into the Treasury, making the FY2022 transactions roughly budget-neutral.
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.
This law authorizes a single Congressional Gold Medal to honor 13 U.S. servicemembers killed in the August 26, 2021 suicide bombing at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul. It names Maxton Soviak, Kareem Nikoui, David Espinoza, Rylee McCollum, Jared Schmitz, Hunter Lopez, Taylor Hoover, Daegan William-Tyeler Page, Nicole Gee, Humberto Sanchez, Dylan Merola, Johanny Rosario Pichardo, and Ryan Knauss. 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.
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-310, To posthumously award the Congressional Gold Medal, collectively, to Glen Doherty, Tyrone Woods, J. Christopher Stevens, and Sean Smith, in recognition of their contributions to the Nation.
This law awards a single posthumous Congressional Gold Medal collectively to Glen Doherty, Tyrone Woods, J. Christopher Stevens, and Sean Smith in recognition of their contributions to the Nation related to the Benghazi attack. The Secretary of the Treasury designs and strikes the medal and may include images and the names of the four honorees, the gold medal is given to the Central Intelligence Agency Museum for display and research and may be shown elsewhere, and the Secretary may strike and sell bronze duplicates with costs and proceeds handled through the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund.
117-hr-1057, Greatest Generation Commemorative Coin Act
Creates commemorative coins honoring the National World War II Memorial. The Treasury must mint three coins in 2024: up to 50,000 five-dollar gold coins, up to 400,000 one-dollar silver coins, and up to 750,000 half-dollar clad coins. Designs must be emblematic of the Memorial and World War II service and reviewed with the Commission of Fine Arts, the Friends of the National World War II Memorial, and the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee. Coins are legal tender and offered in uncirculated and proof qualities. Sales include surcharges of $35 for the $5 coin, $10 for the $1 coin, and $5 for the half-dollar.
