HR2102 — Major Richard Star Act

Establishes concurrent receipt for retirees with combat-related disabilities. This bill would let eligible retirees receive both military retired pay and veterans' disability compensation for the same months without the offset rules that currently reduce payments. - Families of disabled retirees: Veterans with combat-related disabilities would receive both retired pay and VA disability compensation for the same months, increasing their monthly household income. - Defense and VA payment rules: The bill would amend 10 U.S.C. 1413a and 10 U.S.C. 1414 to exempt retired pay from reductions under 38 U.S.C. 5304 and 5305 and add a clear monthly no-offset rule. - Implementation and technical changes: It renames and updates chapter sections, adjusts cross-references, and applies to payments beginning the first month after enactment.

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.

HR3077 — Agriculture Resilience Act of 2025

This bill centers on achieving net-zero agricultural greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 through a broad federal strategy of on-farm changes, research, and large-scale funding. It sets interim goals including a 50% cut in agricultural emissions by 2030 and targets for soil carbon, cover crops, agroforestry, grazing, renewable energy, and food-waste reduction while directing new research hubs and breed development funding to support the transition. - Farmers and ranchers: Expands conservation programs, adds premium discounts for defined climate-smart practices in crop insurance starting with the 2026 reinsurance year, and funds on-farm projects like a $1.5 billion Alternative Manure Management Program for FY2026–2030. These changes tie payments and contracts to multi-year conservation and soil-health plans. - Underserved and Tribal producers: Prioritizes technical assistance and grants, requires targeted outreach, and reserves TA and grant set-asides to help beginning, veteran, socially disadvantaged, limited-resource, and Tribal producers access programs and markets. - Food systems and consumers: Creates mandatory standards and verification for animal-raising label claims within two years, standardizes voluntary date labels with a two-year rulemaking timeline, and funds composting and food-waste grants including $100 million annually for State projects. This bill would increase federal spending by authorizing multi-year mandatory and discretionary funding lines, including sizable CCC additions and program appropriations.

Stronger enforcement against soring in gaited-horse events by expanding banned practices, raising penalties, creating a licensed inspector system, and publicly posting violations to improve compliance and transparency. - Owners and exhibitors face escalating bans for sore horses: at least 180 days for a first finding, at least 1 year for a second, and at least 3 years for a third. The bill also allows permanent disqualification after a third or later violation following notice and a hearing. - Inspectors and veterinarians must be licensed to inspect at shows, with conflict-of-interest rules and revocation for poor performance. The Secretary must prioritize licensed or accredited veterinarians and licensed inspectors must issue citations and report violations to USDA within 5 days. - The law expands unlawful acts to cover use of "action devices" and weighted or gait-altering shoes on Tennessee Walking Horses, Racking Horses, and Spotted Saddle Horses at shows and sales. The Secretary must assign licensed inspectors to events and publish violations on the APHIS website for show managers and the public to review.
