117-s-1605, National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022
Authorizes funding and major policy changes across the U.S. defense and national security enterprise. It sets procurement priorities, R&D and lab authorities, military personnel and family benefits, environmental actions, and many new reporting and pilot requirements. - Service members and families: parental leave is extended to 12 weeks and a new means‑tested Basic Needs Allowance targets those with household income at or below 130% of the federal poverty level. - Procurement and the industrial base: authorizes FY2022 procurement and multiyear buys across the services and adds program limits and reporting rules, including F‑35 affordability controls with Secretary determinations by Oct. 1, 2025. - Research, technology, and environment: expands R&D authorities by codifying the Defense Innovation Unit, creating Science & Technology Reinvention Laboratories, and a National Network for Microelectronics. It also mandates PFAS testing and remediation timelines with preliminary testing due within two years and a 120‑day moratorium on PFAS incineration.
117-s-2938, Bipartisan Safer Communities Act
Expanded school-based mental health support to get care into schools and more telehealth for Medicaid children, paired with stronger federal gun-trafficking and straw-purchase penalties and new law enforcement funding. - Families and students: Schools get clearer Medicaid billing rules, a new Technical Assistance Center, and grants to expand school-based services, including $50 million in State grants and $8 million for federal guidance and technical support. - Children on Medicaid and providers: HHS must issue telehealth guidance for Medicaid and CHIP and review Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment (EPSDT) implementation, backed by dedicated funding such as $5 million for FY2023 and FY2024 for reviews and assistance. - Public safety and courts: The law creates new federal crimes for straw purchasing and trafficking with penalties up to 25 years, alters NICS juvenile check procedures and allows voluntary employment background checks, and directs large DOJ grants including about $1.4 billion for State and local law enforcement assistance. Increases federal spending by providing new and supplemental appropriations totaling billions for health, education, and law enforcement.
117-s-4120, Childhood Cancer STAR Reauthorization Act
Broaden childhood cancer survivorship research and biospecimen access. This law expands what clinical biobanks can store, turns pilot survivorship efforts into funded research, and requires steps to strengthen the pediatric psychosocial care workforce. - Families and survivors: Research and care will focus more on long-term needs for children and adolescents. The law requires tools for secure electronic transfer of treatment records and survivorship care summaries between health care providers or, when appropriate, longitudinal cohorts. - Researchers and biorepositories: Biobanks may now collect solid tumor samples and paired samples. The National Institutes of Health must review researcher access procedures and report findings to congressional health committees within 2 years, and program funding references are updated to 2024–2028. - Health care providers and workforce: The law replaces pilot-program language with active research funding and requires recommendations to boost workforce development for clinicians who deliver psychosocial care to pediatric cancer patients and survivors.
117-s-1828, HAVANA Act of 2021
Provides compensation for qualifying brain injuries to CIA and State Department personnel and eligible relatives. It creates a narrow, appropriation‑backed authority with definitions and rules for who may receive payments and how they are distributed. - CIA personnel and families: Payments may be made to covered employees, covered dependents, or other covered individuals for qualifying brain injuries. Payments are limited to funds Congress specifically appropriates and are distributed on a first‑come/first‑serve or pro rata basis. - State Department employees and former staff: The law mirrors the CIA authority but expands who is eligible at State to include former employees and dependents of former employees and removes certain foreign duty‑station limits for defined categories. - Rules, timing, and oversight: Agencies must issue implementing regulations within 180 days and notify Congress within 210 days. A classified report to appropriate congressional committees is required within 365 days and must include a year‑in‑review, budget/spend plan, total amounts paid and beneficiaries, plus an FY2023 obligation estimate due by March 1, 2022.
117-s-108, A bill to authorize the Seminole Tribe of Florida to lease or transfer certain land, and for other purposes.
Authorizes the Seminole Tribe of Florida to lease, sell, convey, warrant, or otherwise transfer interests in its non-trust real property without further U.S. approval. It applies only to land not held in trust by the United States and does not authorize transfers of trust land or change the laws and requirements that govern trust property.
117-s-2607, Iran Hostages Congressional Gold Medal Act
Honors the 53 Americans held hostage in Tehran with a single Congressional Gold Medal. The law defines who counts as a hostage, documents their physical and psychological hardships and notes that 35 of the hostages were still living. It directs the Treasury to design and strike the gold medal, places that medal with the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History for display and loan, and allows the U.S. Mint to sell bronze duplicates to cover costs with proceeds deposited to the Mint’s Public Enterprise Fund.
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.
