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.

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-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.

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-9353, Klamath Power and Facilities Agreement Support Act
Klamath Power and Facilities Agreement Support Act This bill addresses projects in the Klamath River Basin in Oregon and California. The Bureau of Reclamation must support lowering the Klamath Irrigation District's net delivered power cost through certain agreements (e.g., an agreement with the Bonneville Power Administration). Further, Reclamation may enter into contracts and agreements with state and local governments, tribes, and private parties to plan, construct, operate, and maintain projects in the basin watershed to include facilities to reduce fish entrainment (i.e., the transport of fish along the flow of water, out of their normal habitat and into unnatural or harmful environments); projects that reduce or avoid impacts on aquatic resources caused by diversion of water for irrigation; and projects that restore basin watershed habitats, including tribal fishery resources held in trust. The bill also authorizes Reclamation to pay for a portion of the operation and maintenance costs of an irrigation pumping plant in Tulelake, California. It also provides for contracts to cover certain costs involved with the replacement of the C-Canal flume within the Klamath Project. Further, the bill provides statutory authorization for Reclamation to implement a 2016 agreement to take ownership and operation of the Keno Dam and operation of the Link River Dam.
