119-s-1748, Kids Online Safety Act
Require covered online platforms to exercise reasonable care in design and use of features to prevent and mitigate harms to minors. The bill would also push clearer algorithm transparency, parental controls, independent audits for very large platforms, and enforcement by the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general. - Families and parents: Platforms would need parental tools to manage minor privacy and accounts, restrict purchases, offer an electronic point of contact, and face limits on market research on children under 13 and on minors under 17 without verifiable parental consent. - Minors' safety: Platforms would owe a duty to prevent harms tied to design features, including eating disorders, substance use disorders, suicidal behavior, extreme harassment, sexual exploitation, gambling and patterns of compulsive use. Platforms must provide reporting mechanisms and multilingual accessibility tied to platform size. - Platforms and oversight: Platforms averaging more than 10 million U.S. monthly active users would file annual, third-party audit reports on minor access, time spent, safeguards, and recommendation systems. Opaque algorithms that use user-specific data would require clear notice and an easy switch to an input-transparent option. Enforcement would follow the FTC Act with specified state enforcement powers.
119-s-904, Livestock Disaster Assistance Improvement Act of 2025
Expands and clarifies disaster aid for livestock, honey bees, and grazers. It would broaden who can get help, allow permanent water infrastructure, set beekeeping loss rules, and improve drought data and agency coordination. - Ranchers and grazers: Producers who hold a federal land‑use permit or lease land from a state or local government would become eligible for Emergency Conservation Program payments. The bill would allow payments for permanent water wells and pipelines and would ease environmental review during drought emergencies. - Forage and emergency payments: The Livestock Forage Disaster rules would treat 4 consecutive weeks as one monthly payment or 8 consecutive weeks as eligible for two monthly payments, giving producers more payment flexibility. Emergency Assistance would explicitly cover drought, feed or water shortages, transportation costs, disease, and other Secretary‑determined causes of loss. - Beekeepers and drought coordination: Beekeepers would get a per‑hive and per‑colony loss‑rate method, national data standards for documenting losses, and no cap on operation size for payments. The bill would create a Drought Monitor Interagency Working Group within 180 days, require a report within 1 year, and require an interagency MOU to align drought determinations after the report.
119-s-292, Educational Choice for Children Act of 2025
Creates coordinated individual and corporate tax credits for donations to scholarship granting organizations to fund K–12 scholarships, while protecting parental choice and setting accountability rules. This bill would set up matching individual and corporate credits tied to qualified donations, define eligible students and expenses, and require oversight for scholarship organizations.
119-s-1509, Strengthening Local Processing Act of 2025
This bill would boost support for small and very small meat and poultry processors by creating tailored HACCP guidance, new grants, and career training to expand local processing capacity and market access. It also raises the federal share for state inspection and widens cooperative interstate shipment rules to help more small plants sell across state lines. - Small and very small establishments get targeted HACCP help. The bill requires a searchable database of peer‑reviewed validation studies within 18 months and online model HACCP plans plus guidance on plan approval within 2 years, with protections for confidential business information. - State inspection programs and selected establishments gain more federal funding and access. The federal cost share for state inspection activities rises to 65% and cooperative interstate shipment rules are expanded so more small plants can participate. - New grant and training programs aim to build regional capacity and workforce pipelines. A Processing Resilience Grant Program offers competitive awards (up to $500,000 and a simplified small‑grant track) and a separate grant program funds processor career training and apprenticeships. Authorizes about $20.0 million and $10.0 million per year for FY2025–2030 respectively, totaling roughly $180.0 million in federal authorizations.
119-s-725, Enhancing First Response Act
Tightens outage reporting and boosts resilience of emergency communications. The bill links Disaster Information Reporting System activations to yearly FCC hearings and public reports, reclassifies 911 telecommunicators, and orders reviews of outage notification practices and Kari’s Law enforcement. - First responders and 911 centers get more transparent outage data and oversight. The FCC must hold at least one public hearing each year lasting not less than 7 days and publish a report within 120 days that documents outage counts, durations, effects on caller location and routing, and recovery recommendations. - Communications providers and infrastructure firms face clearer definitions and reporting duties tied to DIRS. The FCC will investigate within 1 year whether including visual information in outage alerts helps public safety and how many 911 outages may go unreported under current thresholds. - Public safety telecommunicators and device makers see targeted administrative fixes. The Office of Management and Budget must reclassify telecommunicators as a protective service occupation within 30 days and the FCC must report on Kari’s Law compliance by multi-line telephone system manufacturers and vendors within 180 days.
119-s-541, ELITE Vehicles Act
Ends federal tax breaks for electric and other clean vehicles and for EV charging installations. This bill would repeal federal tax credits for new and used clean vehicles, commercial clean vehicles, and for electric vehicle recharging property.
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.
