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.
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.
HR2725 — Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act of 2025
Rewrites and expands the Low‑Income Housing Tax Credit to boost construction and affordability for very low‑income renters. It would rename the program the Affordable Housing Credit and change how states get credits, who counts as low‑income, and how projects qualify and claim credits. - Families and residents: Would change tenant rules so most full‑time students under age 24 do not count as low‑income occupants, allow tenant‑based voucher payments to be excluded from rent calculations in certain projects, and add protections for survivors of domestic violence and for veterans. - Developers and owners: Would raise state allocations and set the minimum allocation at $4,876,000 in 2025, create a bigger credit when at least 20% of units serve extremely low‑income households, treat relocation costs as eligible rehab expenses, and tighten acquisition‑basis and foreclosure timing rules. - States, tribes, and rural areas: Would require housing agencies to apply community revitalization and cost‑reasonableness criteria, add Indian areas and rural areas to difficult development area rules with specific NAHASDA exceptions, and bar prioritizing local official approval or contributions in allocation plans.
HR2570 — Maximum Pressure Act
Deny Iran all paths to a nuclear weapon. This bill would use sustained "maximum pressure" through expanded sanctions, tighter banking bans, and new watchlists to block Iran's nuclear, missile, and proxy networks.
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.
HR471 — Fix Our Forests Act
Speeds hazardous fuels reduction and wildfire resilience by creating designated fireshed areas, a joint Fireshed Center, and new authorities that would streamline planning, data sharing, and on-the-ground restoration across federal, Tribal, state, local, private, and nonprofit lands. - Communities and households: At-risk communities would get coordinated mapping, smoke forecasting, and a unified grant application to make funding for home hardening and local projects easier to access. - Tribal governments and state/local partners: Tribes or Governors could trigger shared‑stewardship agreements within 90 days to join cross‑boundary planning and fireshed assessments that prioritize tribal water supplies and community risk. - Forest managers, utilities, and responders: Agencies would gain faster project authorities including NEPA exemptions for designated firesheds, higher Healthy Forests Restoration Act project thresholds (10,000 acres), a 150‑foot hazard‑tree clearance for power lines, expanded contracting tools, and intra‑agency strike teams to speed environmental reviews and implementation. Note: The sources set many deadlines, reporting rules, pilot programs, and several seven‑year sunsets but do not provide a specific federal cost estimate.
