New tax credit for truck drivers
If enacted, this would create a federal income tax credit for people who drive qualifying tractor-trailers. The credit would be $7,500 per year, or $10,000 if you did not drive commercially last year. You would need a Class A CDL and drive a Group A tractor-trailer; apprentices in registered programs could count training hours and would not need the CDL yet. Your adjusted gross income would need to be at or below $135,000 (joint), $112,500 (head of household), or $90,000 (single or married filing separately). Hours rules: returning drivers would need at least 1,900 hours; new drivers could qualify by averaging 40 hours per week, and those under 1,420 hours would get a prorated credit. Amounts would adjust for inflation for tax years starting after 2025; the credit would apply to tax years ending on or after December 31, 2025 and would not apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2026.

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.
HR4393 — DIGNIDAD (Dignity) Act of 2025
This bill would create a comprehensive immigration and border-security overhaul that layers new physical barriers and surveillance with big changes to employer verification, asylum processing, and legal-status pathways. It bundles construction and funding, a rethought E‑Verify system, expedited asylum at humanitarian campuses, and new conditional and Dignity status routes for long‑term residents. - Would expand humanitarian processing and asylum rules for migrants. It would establish at least three southern border humanitarian campuses for screening, medical checks, legal orientation, and an expedited asylum track with a 72‑hour arrival rest and a 15‑day initial screening goal. - Would change worksite verification and employer rules. It would replace the current system with a new Employment Eligibility Verification System, phase mandatory employer use by size over 6–24 months, allow secondary checks and a limited good‑faith defense, and raise penalties and debarment authority for violations. - Would invest in ports, infrastructure, and backlog tools and create a new trust fund. It would authorize $2.0 billion annually for ports in FY2026–2030, create an Immigration Infrastructure and Debt Reduction Fund, and permit premium processing deposits including a $20,000 premium option to address visa backlogs. Would authorize substantial new appropriations and fee deposits, including $2.0 billion annually for FY2026–2030, increasing federal outlays.
HR842 — Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act
Would expand Medicare to cover multi-cancer early detection screening tests. It defines eligible tests as certain FDA-cleared or approved genomic blood tests or comparable biological-sample tests and directs the Secretary to use the national coverage determinations process to decide when they are covered.
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.
HR3184 — PFAS Alternatives Act
PFAS-free turnout gear is the bill's central goal: it would speed research, testing, and training so safer, non-fluorinated protective clothing reaches firefighters faster. - Firefighters and other first responders would get new guidance and hands-on training for safely wearing, decontaminating, and caring for PFAS-free turnout gear. The bill also prioritizes gear that better protects against particulates, is easier to clean, and resists contamination. - Research institutions, nonprofits, and national fire service or safety organizations would be eligible for NIOSH-administered grants to develop and test next-generation turnout gear. The measure authorizes $25.0 million per year for FY2025–2029 for that research program. - A separate training grant or contract program would begin in FY2027 to develop and spread best practices for first responders. The bill authorizes $2.0 million per year for FY2027–2031 and requires a report to Congress within two years on progress and outcomes. Would authorize up to $25.0 million per year for FY2025–2029 for research and $2.0 million per year for FY2027–2031 for training, totaling up to $135.0 million in authorizations across FY2025–2031.
