117-hr-2471, Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022
A broad, governmentwide appropriations and policy package that funds agencies across defense, health, housing, science, and foreign aid while adding new program rules, reporting requirements, and oversight across dozens of programs.
117-hr-6833, Continuing Appropriations and Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2023
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-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-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-3285, 21st Century President Act
Updates federal law to use gender-neutral terms for a President's spouse. It amends 18 U.S.C. 879(b)(1)(A) by replacing the phrases "the wife of a former President during his lifetime, the widow of a former President until her death or remarriage" with "the spouse of a former President during a former President's lifetime, the surviving spouse of a former President until the surviving spouse's death or remarriage," changing only the wording to be non-gendered.
Surfaced from PRIA's policy knowledge graph, ranked by signal strength, connected by evidence.
Would block federal eminent domain for most agricultural land when a feasible alternative exists, defines covered land, and excludes tiny low‑income parcels.
