Continues federal funding into FY2023. It also provides emergency supplemental aid for Ukraine, creates a FEMA claims program for the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon fires, extends many health and veterans authorities, and reauthorizes FDA user fees through mid‑decade. - Households, disaster survivors, and communities: Funds $1.0 billion for Low Income Home Energy Assistance and transfers $2.5 billion to FEMA for Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon claims, while adding crisis services and refugee/entrant assistance. - Veterans and VA users: Extends numerous VA health and benefits authorities, including hospital and nursing home care copayment and service rules through 2024, with other program authorities extended into 2026. - Defense, Ukraine, and oversight: Provides emergency defense and security aid for Ukraine, including $3.0 billion for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative and $4.5 billion in direct economic support, and increases reporting, end‑use monitoring, and inspector oversight across transfers and programs.
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.
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-6023, Multinational Species Conservation Funds Semipostal Stamp Reauthorization Act of 2021
Ties the semipostal stamp's end and oversight to actual sales and formal congressional notice. This law reauthorizes the United States Postal Service semipostal stamp for the Multinational Species Conservation Funds and replaces the old six‑year authorization rule with an end date linked to when all printed stamps are sold and Congress is notified. - USPS must sell every copy it prints of the Multinational Species Conservation Fund semipostal stamp and must notify Congress once all printed copies have been sold. - Congress gains a clear notice requirement. The law names four committees to receive that notice: the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, the House Oversight and Reform Committee, and the House Natural Resources Committee. - Budget rules are preserved under PAYGO. The Act requires that PAYGO scoring use the latest "Budgetary Effects of PAYGO Legislation" statement submitted by the House Budget Committee chairman before the vote, so the program's fiscal effects are measured under that framework.
