HR4669 — FEMA Act of 2025

FEMA becomes an independent, cabinet-level agency with a clarified all-hazards mission and consolidated federal leadership for preparedness, response, recovery, mitigation, and interoperable communications. The bill also rewrites large parts of the Stafford Act to speed repairs, expand assistance, strengthen mitigation, and publish new public dashboards for disaster spending and individual aid metrics. - Families and disaster survivors: Expands housing help with a FEMA Emergency Home Repair program, authorizes direct repair assistance, and extends some temporary assistance periods from 18 to 24 months. Noncongregate sheltering can be provided without a fixed address and states cannot require a credit card for hoteling. - State, Tribal, and local governments and utilities: Creates expedited Section 409 grants for repairing public and qualifying nonprofit facilities with a Federal share floor of 75% and incentives up to 85% for resilience. Offers small-disaster block grants equal to 80% of the estimated Federal public assistance share and sets a Tribal hazard-mitigation minimum of $75.0 million per year. - Private nonprofits and houses of worship: Treats private nonprofits and houses of worship as eligible for assistance without regard to religious character and expands nonprofit closeout and eligibility parity with governments.

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.

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.

HR801 — Charitable Act

Caps the non-itemizer charitable deduction. This bill would limit how much individuals who do not itemize can claim for charitable gifts and would remove certain accuracy-related penalties in the tax code. - Non-itemizing taxpayers: Their above-the-line charitable deduction would be capped at the portion that does not exceed one-third of their standard deduction for tax years 2026 and 2027. - Taxpayers facing penalties: The bill would eliminate a specific accuracy-related penalty for certain understatements tied to the charitable deduction and remove an associated increased penalty provision. - Tax administrators and preparers: It updates cross-references in the Internal Revenue Code so the penalty removals are reflected across related sections.

HR4312 — SCORE Act

Creates a national framework protecting student‑athletes' ability to sell their name, image, and likeness (NIL) and sets a cap on total institutional NIL payments through a revenue‑linked pool limit. It would also cap agent fees at 5% and require institutions and athletic associations to provide health, academic, and career supports while standardizing written contracts and privacy rules. - Student athletes: Student athletes would have the right to sign NIL deals, hire agents, and keep NIL agreement details private. Any deal over $600 must be in writing and includes a termination right beginning six months after the athlete is no longer enrolled. - Institutions and conferences: Institutions subject to the bill would need to provide medical care for participation injuries, mental health services, academic support, and career counseling and must maintain grant‑in‑aid during the grant period. These institutional duties apply when a coach's base salary exceeds $250,000 or annual athletic revenue reaches $20 million, and institutions must field at least 16 varsity teams. - Agents, associations, and third parties: Agents face a 5% fee cap plus new registration and disclosure rules enforceable by state attorneys general. Interstate intercollegiate athletic associations would set and monitor a pool limit equal to 22% of the average annual sports revenue of their top 70 member institutions and would have authority to adopt related competition and recruitment rules.

HR1422 — Enhanced Iran Sanctions Act of 2025

Targets Iran's energy revenue through global sanctions. This bill would create a broad sanctions framework to punish foreign persons who process, export, or sell Iran-origin oil, condensates, gas, LNG, or petrochemical products. It pairs blocking of assets and visa bans with ownership-based triggers, waivers, humanitarian carve-outs, and new reporting to limit Iran's access to energy markets and finance for weapons and terrorism. - Foreign energy firms and financial institutions would face blocking of property and bans on transactions if they knowingly handle Iran-origin energy or are 50% or more owned by such actors. Associated aliens could become inadmissible and have visas revoked. - Maritime operators, insurers, flag registries, and LNG pipeline facilities would be exposed to sanctions risk when linked to Iran-origin shipments, though safety-of-crew rules and specific exemptions for imports remain. - Humanitarian organizations would keep explicit exemptions for agricultural commodities, food, medicine, medical devices, and humanitarian assistance to avoid disrupting aid. - U.S. agencies and private companies would see new duties: an interagency working group and multilateral contact group would coordinate enforcement, and private-sector reporting would be required to flag evasion and proceeds from intercepted Iran-origin energy sales.
