HR452 — Miracle on Ice Congressional Gold Medal Act

This law awards Congressional Gold Medals to the 1980 U.S. Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Team as a formal recognition of their Lake Placid victory and its lasting effect on American morale and the sport of hockey. It directs the Treasury to strike the medals and sets rules for duplicates, display, and funding. - Team legacy and public recognition: The Act honors the 1980 team with a symbolic national award that reinforces their historical and cultural significance for fans, players, and communities connected to the game. - Museum displays and research access: One gold medal goes to the Lake Placid Olympic Center, one to the United States Hockey Hall of Fame Museum in Eveleth, Minnesota, and one to the United States Olympic & Paralympic Museum in Colorado Springs for display and research. - Mint operations and collectibles: The Secretary of the Treasury will strike the medals, may sell bronze duplicates at prices that cover costs, and classifies the medals as national and numismatic items. The U.S. Mint Public Enterprise Fund pays for production and receives proceeds from duplicate sales.

HR3132 — CHOICE for Veterans Act of 2025

Creates regulated accreditation and fee limits for people who help veterans file VA benefits claims. It would set a national recognition system for agents, attorneys, and organizations, standardize fee agreements, and expand claimants' access to no-cost accredited help. - Veterans and families: Veterans would get a public, quarterly-updated list of accredited representatives and an online warning about fees. The VA must point claimants to recognized organizations that offer no-cost claim preparation. - Representatives: Agents and attorneys would need formal recognition and a knowledge test and must meet higher continuing education requirements. The VA could grant temporary recognition and charge an assessment of up to $500 for recognition applications. - Oversight and penalties: The VA would gain audit authority and must report annually to Congress while the Government Accountability Office would review the recognition process. The bill creates civil and criminal-like penalties, requires revocation for violators, and sets a $50,000 penalty for repeat offenses.

HR979 — AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act of 2025

This bill would require AM broadcast capability to be installed as standard equipment in passenger motor vehicles. It focuses on driver-accessible AM reception, allows digital AM audio to count for compliance, and links vehicle AM capability to emergency alerting through IPAWS. - Drivers and households: Built-in, driver-accessible AM reception would make it easier for people to get local AM stations and emergency alerts from their vehicles. The bill allows devices that receive digital AM to meet the requirement. - Vehicle manufacturers: The Department of Transportation would need to issue a rule within 1 year, with a general compliance deadline no later than 2 years after the rule is issued. Small manufacturers that produced no more than 40,000 passenger vehicles in 2022 would get at least 4 years to comply. - Oversight and emergency systems: States would be barred from imposing their own AM-access rules. The bill mandates interim labels and pricing protections for cars without AM, authorizes civil penalties and DOJ injunctions for violations, requires a GAO study and a congressional briefing within 1 year, and includes an 8-year sunset for the authority.

HR703 — Main Street Tax Certainty Act

This bill would permanently preserve the qualified business income (QBI) deduction by removing the sunset provision in Internal Revenue Code section 199A. The change would apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025, so the deduction would be available for 2026 and later tax years. It achieves this by striking subsection (i) of section 199A and setting that effective date. Taxpayers with qualified business income would continue to claim the QBI deduction under the existing Section 199A rules for those years.
