HR3816 — Weather Act Reauthorization Act of 2025

This bill would modernize NOAA by prioritizing and funding improvements to forecasting, observations, and warnings to better protect lives, property, and the economy. It would set program directions and multi‑year funding for weather research, tsunami/hurricane/tornado programs, data sharing, and new commercial data purchases. - Families and coastal communities: stronger tsunami, hurricane, and coastal‑flooding forecasting and updated inundation maps aim to give earlier, clearer warnings and decision support for evacuation and recovery. The tsunami title includes $30.0 million per year for 2026–2030. - Emergency managers and forecasters: directs cloud migration of AWIPS, upgrades to NOAA Weather Radio and alert tools, expanded forecaster training, and a VORTEX‑USA tornado program with at least $11.0 million per year for 2026–2030 to improve tornado lead times. - Researchers, the private sector, and local networks: creates a $100.0 million per year Commercial Data Program (FY2026–2030), a National Mesonet Program with rising annual authorizations, data standards, and requirements to make operational AI weather models and datasets accessible for testing. Authorizes multi‑year appropriations across NOAA programs, including explicit annual amounts for research, commercial data purchases, mesonet support, and tsunami activities for FY2026–2030.

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."

HR22 — SAVE Act

Requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in Federal elections. The bill would add verification, recordkeeping, and new penalties while creating a sworn-affidavit and official‑verification path for people who cannot present documents. - Voters without documents: People who lack documentary proof would rely on a standardized sworn affidavit or an official verification process the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) must develop. Provisional ballots could still be cast and counted if citizenship is later verified. - State agencies and DMVs: Motor vehicle agencies and other voter registration points would be required to collect and record citizenship documents and to notify applicants in advance. The Federal mail registration form would be revised and the EAC must issue guidance within 10 days of enactment. - Removal and enforcement: States could use Department of Homeland Security Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (DHS SAVE), the Social Security Administration (SSA) verification service, and state ID data to identify and remove noncitizens. The bill expands private suits and increases criminal penalties for knowingly registering or assisting noncitizens.

HR318 — Border Safety and Security Act of 2025

This bill would give the Department of Homeland Security the power to suspend the entry of non-U.S. nationals without valid entry documents. It would bar such people at land or maritime borders while DHS cannot detain them or return them to a contiguous country and when needed to attain operational control over a border. - Arriving people and families: Non-U.S. nationals who lack valid entry documents could be barred from entering during periods when DHS cannot detain them or return them to a contiguous country. - Homeland Security operations: The Secretary could prohibit entry, in whole or in part, to achieve "operational control" at international land or maritime borders. - States: State attorneys general could sue the Secretary in federal court to seek injunctive relief to enforce the suspension requirement.

HR29 — Laken Riley Act

Expanded detention for theft-related offenses and new state powers to sue federal officials over releases or parole decisions that states say harm them. The bill links certain inadmissibility categories to burglary, theft, larceny, and shoplifting as defined by the local jurisdiction and creates a formal detainer path.

HR3715 — New IDEA Act

This bill would bar tax deductions for wages paid to unauthorized aliens. It also creates new enforcement tools and expands interagency data sharing and E-Verify safe harbors to identify and deter those wages. - Employers: Wages paid to workers defined as unauthorized under immigration law would not be deductible unless the employer uses the E-Verify employment eligibility program and obtains a proper confirmation. The bill also opens a six-year window for assessment or collection when the deduction is improperly claimed. - Workers: Agencies would share more records that can identify unauthorized workers, including no-match letters and the Social Security earnings suspense file, raising the visibility of pay records to immigration and tax authorities. - Taxpayers and audits: The Treasury must prove in any examination that wages were paid to an unauthorized alien before denying the deduction. The bill bars audits that are opened solely because a taxpayer claimed this deduction. - Agencies and records: The Social Security Administration, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Treasury would run a joint information-sharing program and Treasury disclosure and recordkeeping rules would be changed to support enforcement. - Timing: Most tax changes would apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024.
