119-hr-3151, SHIPS for America Act of 2025
Rebuild U.S. commercial shipbuilding and a U.S.-flag strategic fleet by pairing new tax credits, grants, and operating payments with stronger cargo-preference rules and workforce and innovation programs to restore domestic capacity and sealift readiness. It centralizes maritime strategy in a White House advisor and a Maritime Security Board and funds a broad set of industrial, port, and training programs to favor U.S.-built, U.S.-crewed vessels.
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-4317, PBM Reform Act of 2025
Greater PBM transparency and tighter contract rules would require pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) to disclose detailed per‑drug revenues and rebates, protect small "essential" retail pharmacies, and change Medicaid and group plan payment rules across the drug supply chain. The bill would layer reporting, audit rights, pass‑through pricing, and enforcement across Medicare Part D, ERISA/group plans, and Medicaid to spotlight hidden payments and affiliate flows. - Patients and community pharmacies: Would create an "essential retail pharmacy" label for pharmacies in underserved areas and require network access standards and biennial public data starting in 2028, helping small pharmacies show reimbursement and cost differences to plans. - PBMs, plans, and auditors: Would force PBMs to adopt flat bona fide service fees, disclose per‑drug claims, rebates, retained revenue, and affiliate dispensing shares, and give sponsors audit rights and remedies for improper remuneration. - States and Medicaid programs: Would require monthly national acquisition‑cost surveys, ban spread pricing in State Medicaid contracts, and mandate pass‑through pricing with itemized reporting and penalties for false data. Would increase federal spending for implementation by about $336 million in FY2025 and fund ongoing oversight including a $9 million annual IG appropriation.
119-hr-1229, United States-Israel Defense Partnership Act of 2025
Would deepen U.S.-Israel defense cooperation by creating new joint programs, offices, and multi-year funding to develop and deploy counter-unmanned systems and other emerging defense technologies. - U.S. military and Department of Defense: Creates a United States–Israel Counter-Unmanned Systems Program and a program office, authorizes $150 million per year for 2026–2030, and requires annual unclassified reports. - U.S. and Israeli defense industries and tech firms: Authorizes joint research, testing, and procurement across artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, robotics, quantum, and automation with $50 million per year for 2026–2030 and a framework for cost sharing and intellectual property. - Regional partners and missile defense planners: Requires an assessment of integrated air and missile defense in the U.S. Central Command area with an unclassified report in 180 days and extends the War Reserves Stockpile Authority beyond January 1, 2029. Would authorize $150 million per year for counter-unmanned systems and $50 million per year for emerging technology cooperation from 2026–2030, and raises funding caps for anti-tunnel and counter-UAS programs through 2028.
119-hr-2619, No Paydays for Hostage-Takers Act
Stops payoffs and tightens U.S. pressure to deter Iran-linked hostage-taking. This bill would expand sanctions tools, force detailed tracking of restricted Iranian funds, and give officials new authorities to freeze assets, limit travel, and block risky travel to Iran. - Families and detained U.S. nationals: would require a President-led strategy to deter wrongful detention, include an explicit policy against ransom payments, and authorize invalidating U.S. passports for travel to Iran when travel is deemed imminently dangerous. - Oversight of Iranian funds: would force reports every 180 days on the $6 billion moved from restricted accounts in Korea to restricted accounts in Qatar, including itemized transactions, balances, and certifications about humanitarian or military use. - Sanctions and asset tracing: would expand use of the Levinson Act to identify foreign persons tied to hostage-taking, require annual determinations for six years on whether sanctions apply, and mandate reporting on blocked Iranian assets over $100,000. - Diplomats and travel: would enable visa denials and travel limits for Iranian United Nations representatives and their families based on sanctions and require follow-up reporting on such actions.
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.
