S292, 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.
S401, Fair Access to Banking Act
Guarantees fair, impartial access to basic financial services. This bill would limit when banks, credit unions, and payment networks can refuse to serve a person who is acting lawfully by requiring denials to rest on documented, quantitative, risk-based standards and by creating penalties and a private lawsuit tool for violations. - Large banks would face limits on Federal Reserve discount window access and Automated Clearing House network use if they refuse to serve lawful customers without objective, pre-established risk reasons. Covered banks are presumed to be those with more than $10.0 billion in assets. - Payment card networks and credit unions would be barred from blocking access based on political or reputational risk. Card networks face civil penalties up to 10% of the value of affected services or $10,000 per violation. - Individuals and businesses denied services in violation of the bill would get a private right of action in federal court. Successful plaintiffs could recover attorney fees, costs, and treble damages.
S587, Death Tax Repeal Act of 2025
Repeal of the estate and generation-skipping transfer taxes. This bill would eliminate those transfer taxes for decedents dying and GST transfers occurring after enactment and would overhaul the gift tax to raise the lifetime exemption and add a new tiered rate schedule. - Families and heirs: Heirs of people who die after enactment would no longer face the federal estate tax or the generation-skipping transfer tax. - Donors and trusts: The lifetime gift exemption would rise to $10 million, indexed for inflation, and gift tax rates would be rewritten into brackets that range from 18% up to 35% for the largest gifts. Trust transfers would be treated as taxable gifts unless the trust is wholly owned by the donor or the donor's spouse. - Implementation and timing: The changes would apply to gifts made and transfers occurring on or after enactment and include a transition rule that treats the calendar year of enactment as two separate periods for certain tax provisions.
S186, No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2025
Blocks federal funding for abortions and for health plans that cover abortion. The bill would permanently ban the use of federal funds for abortions or for any health plan paid for in whole or in part with federal money and would bar abortions in federal facilities or by federal employees. - Families and marketplace enrollees would not be able to use premium tax credits or cost‑sharing reductions to buy plans that include abortion. They could purchase a separate abortion-only plan but would receive no federal subsidy for that coverage. - People who receive care in federal facilities and anyone served by federal employees would not get abortions paid for with federal funds. The bill extends funding restrictions to federal trust funds and the District of Columbia. Exceptions are preserved for rape, incest, and life‑threatening conditions. - Employers and insurers would face new rules. Plans that include abortion would be excluded from the small employer health insurance credit. Qualified health plans and marketplace materials would have to prominently disclose whether they cover abortion and any separate surcharge for that coverage.
S1404, Combating Organized Retail Crime Act
Creates a federal coordination center to fight organized retail and supply chain crime. The bill would also widen federal theft and money‑laundering laws so prosecutors can target organized groups that steal, traffic, or resell goods across state or international lines. - Retailers and supply chains would get a single federal hub for information sharing, training, and technical assistance. The Center would be set up within 90 days and must publish annual trend reports. - Federal, state, and local law enforcement would gain a centralized office inside the Department of Homeland Security with a Director and a Deputy who rotates every 2 years among the FBI, Secret Service, or Postal Inspection Service. The Center would allow detailees from multiple agencies and would terminate after 7 years. - People committing organized retail crime would face broader federal exposure because the bill expands theft and shipment offenses to cover interstate or foreign commerce, adds an aggregate $5,000 threshold over a 12 month period, and brings money orders, prepaid cards, and gift cards into money‑laundering rules.
S6, Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act
This bill would require health care practitioners to give the same standard of care and immediate hospital admission for infants born alive after an abortion. It would also create mandatory reporting rules and civil and criminal penalties for failures. - Health care practitioners: Would have to provide the same professional care any newborn at the same gestational age would receive and ensure immediate hospital admission. Violations can lead to fines or up to 5 years in prison. - Clinic and hospital staff: Anyone who knows a practitioner failed to meet the care rules must immediately report that failure to state or federal law enforcement. - Mothers: The woman on whom the abortion was performed could not be prosecuted under this law and may sue providers for violations. - Civil remedies: A successful suit can win verifiable damages for injuries, punitive damages, and statutory damages equal to three times the cost of the abortion. - Homicide exposure: Intentionally killing or attempting to kill an infant born alive would be prosecuted as murder.
