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-1667, Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act
Supports mental health and resilience for health care professionals. It creates grants, an education and awareness campaign, best-practice guidance, and federal evaluation to reduce suicide risk, stigma, and barriers to care. - Health care professionals: Funds training, suicide-prevention best practices, and a national campaign to reduce stigma and encourage use of mental health and substance use disorder services. - Students and institutions: Hospitals, health professions schools, community health centers, rural health clinics, professional associations, tribal organizations, and government entities can get grants for training and capacity building. Grants may last up to three years. - Rural and workforce-shortage areas: Prioritizes health professional shortage areas and rural regions for awards and requires Secretary reports plus a Government Accountability Office (GAO) review within four years to assess program effectiveness and duplication. Authorizes $10 million per year for the education initiative and $35 million per year for mental health programs for 2022–2024, increasing federal spending over that period.
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-3537, Accelerating Access to Critical Therapies for ALS Act
Accelerating access to investigational therapies for ALS by funding research that uses data from expanded access programs while protecting clinical trial enrollment and improving equity.
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-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.
