117-hr-8454, Medical Marijuana and Cannabidiol Research Expansion Act
Expands federal medical research on marijuana and CBD and creates a clear registration and oversight system. It sets timelines for approvals, expands who can manufacture marijuana for studies, and orders a unified federal research agenda on safety, therapeutic effects, and supply. - Researchers and institutions get a detailed registration system with a 60-day initial decision window and a 30-day review after supplemental information. It adds protocol amendment rules and security standards for storage to limit diversion. - Manufacturers and supply chains face a structured pre-approval process tied to Federal Register notices and must meet completeness and state licensure checks. The Attorney General must annually assess research supply and report to Congress if shortages occur. - Patients and clinicians gain a safe harbor for state-licensed physicians to discuss potential harms and benefits of marijuana derivatives with patients and guardians. The law also creates a pathway for FDA-approved cannabinoid drugs to move toward commercial production under federal registration. A one-year federal report to Congress will map therapeutic potential, safety across THC levels, barriers in legalized states, and partnership recommendations.
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.

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-2497, Amache National Historic Site Act
Establishes the Amache National Historic Site in Colorado to preserve and interpret the World War II incarceration of civilians of Japanese ancestry, the military service of incarcerees, local public reaction, and postwar resettlement. The law fixes a July 2021 map as the site boundary, allows land inside the boundary to be acquired only by donation, and lets the Secretary of the Interior establish the site after determining sufficient land has been acquired and publishing notice. The Secretary must prepare a general management plan within 3 years of available funding, may place administrative and visitor facilities nearby by cooperative agreement, and must preserve existing water rights while allowing the Town of Granada to operate, maintain, and, if necessary, install or donate water infrastructure.
117-hr-7791, Access to Baby Formula Act of 2022
Protecting access to infant formula and supplemental foods during emergencies and supply chain disruptions. It gives the Secretary of Agriculture new waiver powers, requires infant formula contracts to include recall remedies, and mandates coordination with the Department of Health and Human Services. - Families: Families with infants can get more flexible formula access during shortages. Programs may allow brand substitutions, waive some medical-documentation rules for noncontract formula, and lift monthly formula limits when needed. - State agencies and vendors: State agencies can get temporary waivers of administrative rules to keep benefits flowing. Waivers may run up to 45 days and can be renewed with 15 days notice. The Secretary must notify affected States and publish waiver determinations. - Manufacturers and federal coordination: Infant formula cost containment contracts must include remedies for recalls and require manufacturers to follow those contract terms during a recall. The Agriculture Department and the Department of Health and Human Services must sign a memorandum of understanding within 30 days to share information and coordinate responses to supply problems and recalls.
