119-hr-4669, FEMA Act of 2025
FEMA becomes an independent, cabinet-level agency with a clarified all-hazards mission and consolidated federal leadership for preparedness, response, recovery, mitigation, and interoperable communications. The bill also rewrites large parts of the Stafford Act to speed repairs, expand assistance, strengthen mitigation, and publish new public dashboards for disaster spending and individual aid metrics. - Families and disaster survivors: Expands housing help with a FEMA Emergency Home Repair program, authorizes direct repair assistance, and extends some temporary assistance periods from 18 to 24 months. Noncongregate sheltering can be provided without a fixed address and states cannot require a credit card for hoteling. - State, Tribal, and local governments and utilities: Creates expedited Section 409 grants for repairing public and qualifying nonprofit facilities with a Federal share floor of 75% and incentives up to 85% for resilience. Offers small-disaster block grants equal to 80% of the estimated Federal public assistance share and sets a Tribal hazard-mitigation minimum of $75.0 million per year. - Private nonprofits and houses of worship: Treats private nonprofits and houses of worship as eligible for assistance without regard to religious character and expands nonprofit closeout and eligibility parity with governments.
119-hr-3633, Digital Asset Market Clarity Act
Would create a comprehensive federal regulatory regime for digital assets. The bill would set unified definitions, registration, disclosure and certification rules for token issuers, exchanges, permitted payment stablecoins, DeFi protocols, and banks while barring the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency for individuals. - Consumers and retail investors: Platforms must provide clearer, plain English disclosures about token economics, custody, and insolvency treatment and must offer educational materials before holding or trading digital assets. - Banks, exchanges, and market intermediaries: Banks and credit unions could offer custody, staking, payments, and related services under supervisor oversight and exchanges must segregate customer assets and use qualified digital asset custodians. - Developers, DeFi protocols, and NFT creators: The bill creates safe harbors for software developers, a Micro-Innovation Sandbox for small firms (≤25 employees, ≤$10 million revenue), and an NFT safe harbor unless the token functions as an investment contract. Would authorize $30 million annually for FinCEN for FY2026–2030, increasing federal outlays by $30 million per year during that period.
119-hr-471, Fix Our Forests Act
Speeds hazardous fuels reduction and wildfire resilience by creating designated fireshed areas, a joint Fireshed Center, and new authorities that would streamline planning, data sharing, and on-the-ground restoration across federal, Tribal, state, local, private, and nonprofit lands. - Communities and households: At-risk communities would get coordinated mapping, smoke forecasting, and a unified grant application to make funding for home hardening and local projects easier to access. - Tribal governments and state/local partners: Tribes or Governors could trigger shared‑stewardship agreements within 90 days to join cross‑boundary planning and fireshed assessments that prioritize tribal water supplies and community risk. - Forest managers, utilities, and responders: Agencies would gain faster project authorities including NEPA exemptions for designated firesheds, higher Healthy Forests Restoration Act project thresholds (10,000 acres), a 150‑foot hazard‑tree clearance for power lines, expanded contracting tools, and intra‑agency strike teams to speed environmental reviews and implementation. Note: The sources set many deadlines, reporting rules, pilot programs, and several seven‑year sunsets but do not provide a specific federal cost estimate.
119-hr-7613, ALERT Act
Accelerate deployment of airborne collision avoidance and strengthen air traffic safety. This bill would push faster equipage and tougher alerting standards for civil aircraft, overhaul air traffic control training and risk tools, and require a Department of Defense and DOT agreement on ADS‑B use and military rotary‑wing coordination. - Families of crash victims: Would receive briefings from the Administrator within 180 days and every 180 days thereafter until final rules are issued. - Airlines and selected aircraft operators: Would need ACAS Xa integrated with ADS‑B In and transponder interrogations and meet retrofit deadlines, with equipage required by Dec. 31, 2031 and upgrade caps to Dec. 31, 2033 for software or training changes. - Rotorcraft and powered‑lift operators: Would face ACAS Xr equipage and certification with an equip‑by date of Dec. 31, 2031, plus mandated helicopter route chart updates and the closure of Helicopter Route 4's DC segment. - Air traffic controllers and facilities: Would get instructor‑led Threat and Error Management training within 9 months, a safety risk assessment tool within 180 days, time‑on‑position limits within one year, and conflict alert and anti‑blocking assessments and upgrades. - Department of Defense aviation: Would sign a memorandum of agreement with DOT, report counts of special‑mission flights with ADS‑B Out turned off, adopt ADS‑B maintenance checks at least every 90 days, and plan equipage and training tied to the 2031 timelines. - Manufacturers and standards bodies: Would see minimum operational performance standards for ACAS Xr by Dec. 31, 2026 and required updates to aural and visual alerting and display symbols.
119-hr-4075, Fire Weather Development Act of 2025
Strengthen NOAA's wildfire forecasting and observation capabilities. This bill would create a NOAA program to improve fire weather and fire environment forecasts, early detection, smoke forecasting, and delivery of forecasts and warnings to emergency managers and land managers. - Families, communities, and local emergency responders would get clearer forecasts and smoke dispersion guidance aimed at reducing deaths, injuries, and property loss. - Land managers, the U.S. Forest Service, and State and Tribal partners would gain new tools, higher-resolution observations, grid-based fuel moisture and danger assessments, and modeling that links climate forecasts to local decisions and prescribed burn impacts. - Researchers, the weather industry, and technology providers would be eligible for competitive grants, contracts, and private-sector data purchases. The bill would fund unmanned aircraft system pilot programs and testing and authorizes $5.0 million for fiscal year 2026 for UAS activities while generally barring procurement of UAS from foreign countries of concern with a waiver process. Includes a $5.0 million authorization for fiscal year 2026 for unmanned aircraft system activities under the program.
119-hr-5351, NSF AI Education Act of 2025
This bill would expand U.S. AI education and workforce pathways. It focuses NSF support on scholarships, teacher fellowships, regional Centers of AI Excellence, K–12 research, and targeted outreach to rural and underrepresented institutions. - Students and early-career learners: Authorizes NSF-funded scholarships and graduate and undergraduate fellowships, including at community colleges, that may cover tuition, fees, a stipend, and professional development for up to five years. Eligibility requires U.S. citizenship, U.S. national status, or lawful permanent residency and a commitment to an AI career. - K–12 teachers and school leaders: Creates professional development fellowships and a pilot of regional educator cohorts that provide mentoring, hands-on research experiences, and short-term industry appointments. Fellowship awards may cover tuition, fees, a stipend, and professional development for up to one year. - Community colleges, regions, and employers: Directs the NSF to designate up to eight regional Centers of AI Excellence in partnership with community colleges and area career and technical education schools to scale programs, identify AI job pathways, and link employers with apprenticeships, contingent on appropriations. - Researchers and education systems: Authorizes competitive awards for research on AI teaching and learning from pre-K through grade 12, requires outcome-oriented evaluation plans, a public report within 180 days after center evaluations, and an NSF-wide assessment within seven years.
