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.
HR21, Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act
Mandates care and penalties for infants born alive after an abortion. This bill would set standards of care, require reporting, create criminal penalties, and allow civil suits when an infant is born alive following an abortion. - Women and families: A woman on whom an abortion is performed may sue anyone who violates the law and recover objectively verifiable medical and psychological damages, punitive damages, and statutory damages equal to three times the cost of the abortion. Courts must award reasonable attorney's fees to prevailing plaintiffs and may award fees to defendants if a suit is frivolous. - Health care practitioners and facility employees: Any practitioner present at a birth resulting from an abortion must exercise the same professional skill, care, and diligence as for any other live-born infant of the same gestational age. Practitioners or employees who know of a failure to comply must immediately report the violation to appropriate State or Federal law enforcement. - Criminal and statutory consequences: Violators face fines, up to 5 years in prison, or both, and anyone who intentionally kills a born-alive infant is punished under the murder statute. The bill also updates chapter headings and adds statutory definitions for "abortion" and "attempt."
HR1870, SPEED for BEAD Act
Would streamline and expand broadband deployment under the BEAD program by setting a clear gigabit standard, allowing any technology that meets performance, and limiting grant-related conditions and federal rate-setting. - Families and communities: Would treat any technology that meets the performance criteria as reliable broadband and defines gigabit as at least 1,000 megabits per second (1,000 Mbps), broadening which builds qualify. - Workers and trainees: Would add telecommunications workforce development as an eligible use of BEAD funds, opening federal support for training and hiring. - Local implementers and providers: Would let project applicants remove high-cost locations from defined project areas and still receive subgrants, and would bar grant conditions tied to wages, project labor agreements, union or local-hiring rules, diversity or equity requirements, network management rules like data caps, and certain letters of credit. - Program funding rules: Would require unused BEAD allocations, after deadlines, to be transferred to the general fund of the Treasury.
HR2289, American Broadband Deployment Act of 2025
Would speed up broadband and cell-site deployments by imposing strict local review deadlines and expanding an expedited approval rule to wireline projects. It would set firm approval clocks, narrow some environmental and historic preservation reviews for defined projects, and limit the fees and conditions local authorities can require. - States and local governments would keep general zoning authority but face tight deadlines and new evidence rules when denying requests. Decisions could be required in as few as 60 days and as long as 150 days depending on the type of request, and missed deadlines are treated as approvals. - Wireless, wireline, and cable providers would gain faster paths to modify existing facilities. Eligible wireless or wireline changes would be deemed approved after 60 days if not acted on, and cable franchise requests would be deemed granted after 120 days. - Indian Tribes and environmental reviewers would see shortened windows and limited review for many enumerated “covered projects.” The bill creates a 45-day presumption for tribal responses to certain consultation forms and lists covered project types including small facilities and disaster recovery.
HR27, HALT Fentanyl Act
This bill would broadly designate fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I and create a structural definition for what counts as a fentanyl-related substance. It would also expand criminal penalties tied to those substances and set new, faster rules to let researchers study them under controlled conditions. - Researchers and research institutions: Shorter, clearer research pathways let qualified practitioners begin certain Schedule I studies 30 days after notice and allow applicants without a registration to be registered or get an order to show cause within 45 days. Institutions can use single registrations across related sites and let certain unregistered staff work under a registered researcher after notice to the Attorney General. - Law enforcement and courts: The bill extends existing federal trafficking and import/export penalty provisions to cover fentanyl-related substances and adds a statutory definition for those substances. - Federal regulators and public transparency: The Attorney General must publish a list of covered substances and may issue rules within 6 months, including interim final rules, and must post special-procedure decisions publicly. The Justice Department Inspector General must study the research provisions and report within 1 year.
HR3514, Improving Seniors’ Timely Access to Care Act of 2025
Standardize prior authorization in Medicare Advantage plans to make approvals faster and more transparent for beneficiaries and providers. The bill would require plans that use prior authorization to adopt a secure electronic PA program, publish plan-level PA data, and follow federal timeframes and enrollee protections.
