S904 — 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.
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.
S3345 — PBM Price Transparency and Accountability Act
This bill would force sweeping PBM transparency and pass-through pricing to make prescription drug contracts, payments, and PBM revenue sources visible and to limit abusive spread pricing across Medicaid and Medicare. It would create national pharmacy price surveys, strict Part D PBM rules, audits, and penalties to boost accountability. - Pharmacies and dispensing access: Would require recurring national surveys with monthly price updates to set acquisition-cost benchmarks and would force Medicaid contracts to use a pass-through model that pays ingredient cost plus a pharmacy dispensing fee. It bars spread pricing for Federal Medicaid matching and limits using non-retail prices to set retail payments. - Medicare Part D plans and beneficiaries: Would require PBMs to use written agreements that limit income to flat bona fide service fees, disclose rebate and remuneration arrangements, deliver detailed annual drug- and plan-level reports to sponsors and HHS, and face sponsor audits and disgorgement powers starting in plan years beginning on or after 2028. - States, oversight, and studies: States must share PBM cost data with HHS and the bill directs GAO and HHS Office of Inspector General studies on pricing and compensation structures. It provides about $139 million in specified FY2026 appropriations for CMS program management, OIG oversight, IG surveys, and MedPAC reporting. Would increase federal spending by about $139 million in FY2026 for implementation and oversight.
S1748 — Kids Online Safety Act
Protecting minors online is the core aim of the Kids Online Safety Act, which would make platforms that serve young users adopt a legal duty of care, add parental controls and safeguards, and force more transparency about recommendation algorithms. The bill targets design features that boost minor engagement and limits certain research on children to reduce mental-health and harassment risks. - Families and minors: The bill would define a "child" as under 13 and a "minor" as under 17, require verifiable parental consent for known children, and give parents tools to control privacy, purchases, and autoplay for streaming. - Platforms and products: Covered services would face limits on personalized design features, a ban on market research involving children under 13, and public reporting and independent audits of safeguards, including detailed de-identified data on minor usage for platforms with over 10 million monthly U.S. users. - Regulators, schools, and tech oversight: The Federal Trade Commission would enforce the rules with state attorneys general able to act as well, a Kids Online Safety Council of 11 members would advise and report within 1 and 3 years, and a separate title would force notice and opt-outs for "opaque" algorithms and let users switch to input-transparent systems.
S1509 — 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.
S541 — 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.
