HR3151, 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.
HR4669, 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.
HR3633, Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025
Would create a comprehensive federal framework to regulate digital assets, stablecoins, exchanges, and custody across the SEC and CFTC. It would set rules for issuer disclosures and a maturity test for blockchains, register digital-commodity exchanges and brokers, require qualified custodians, protect individual self-custody, and prohibit a retail Federal Reserve CBDC.
HR4317, 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.
HR4109, Recycling and Composting Accountability Act
Build a data-driven national system to measure and grow recycling and composting. This bill would require the EPA to collect standardized national data, expand the National Recycling Strategy to include compostables, inventory materials recovery facilities, and study how materials are diverted from the circular market. - Families and communities would get clearer data on program access, usage rates, inbound contamination, and the average costs and benefits of recycling and composting programs to help local planning. - States, units of local government, and Indian Tribes would provide information to the EPA and receive technical assistance. The EPA must estimate costs and land needs to expand composting and may not impose unfunded mandates. - Federal agencies would face triennial and biennial accountability checks. The Comptroller General must report every 2 years through 2033 on agencies' recycling and composting rates and on procurement of recycled and compostable products. - Recycling and composting markets would gain better end-market data. The bill updates Save Our Seas 2.0 reporting to include domestic and international sales per ton and requires a separate compostable-materials end-market report and a study on material-specific market diversion. - Implementation timelines include an MRF inventory within 3 years and every 4 years after, development of a diversion metric within 1 year, and a follow-up study on the prior 10 years after the metric. Would authorize $4.0 million per year for fiscal years 2025 through 2029 to support EPA activities under this act.
HR1229, 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.
