In Committee
Summary
Counters foreign assistance to the Taliban by forcing the State Department to identify foreign actors who fund the group, suspend U.S. aid tied to those actors, and develop a strategy to discourage future support. The bill pairs strict reporting deadlines with measures to limit cash flows that could benefit the Taliban.
Show full summary
- Would require a State Department strategy within 180 days that includes support for Afghan women and girls and plans to relocate eligible at-risk Afghans and allies to the United States or third countries.
- Any country or nongovernmental organization the Secretary identifies as supporting the Taliban would face immediate suspension of all U.S. foreign assistance.
- Imposes detailed oversight and reporting: a 180-day report naming foreign actors and how aid was used; a 90-day review of U.S.-funded direct cash assistance in Afghanistan; recurring 90- and 180-day updates on the Afghan Fund; and semiannual assessments for five years.
*Would rescind unobligated Afghanistan reconstruction balances and transfer them to the general fund to reduce the federal deficit.*
Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Cancel unused Afghanistan reconstruction funds
If enacted, the bill would rescind all unobligated balances from many U.S. accounts and programs for Afghanistan reconstruction. The canceled amounts would be transferred to the Treasury general fund and applied to deficit reduction. The change would take effect upon enactment and covers many named funds and program accounts used for reconstruction activities.
Stronger oversight of Afghan funds
If enacted, the Secretary of State would report to Congress on the Afghan Fund not later than 90 days after enactment and then every 180 days for 5 years. The reports must list Taliban links at Da Afghanistan Bank, explain how trustees were vetted, state conditions for releasing money, and describe controls to prevent misuse. The Secretary would also report within 90 days on U.S. direct cash assistance in Afghanistan from August 1, 2021 through 30 days after enactment, including partners, payment methods, hawala use, currency exchanges, and oversight to stop Taliban access.
U.S. plan to block Taliban funding
If enacted, the Secretary of State would, within 180 days, identify foreign countries and groups that gave assistance to the Taliban. The Secretary would make a strategy in 180 days to discourage others from giving aid to the Taliban. The plan must include help for Afghan women and girls that does not benefit the Taliban and steps to relocate eligible, fully vetted, at-risk Afghans to the United States or third countries. The Secretary must report on the strategy when it is done and then every 180 days for 5 years. An extra report on certain Rewards for Justice bounties would be due within 30 days and must be unclassified (with a possible classified annex).

This removes that tax from those estates. - Donors and high‑net‑worth individuals would still face a gift tax, but under a tiered schedule from 18% to 35% and a $10 million lifetime exemption that is indexed for inflation after 2011. - Generation‑skipping transfers made on or after enactment would not be subject to the GST tax.

HR38 — Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2025
National concealed-carry reciprocity.

Machine guns and destructive devices are excluded. It would take effect 90 days after enactment. - State and property rights: States would keep the power to prohibit or restrict concealed carry on private property and on State or local government property. The bill also lists federal public lands and agencies where carrying would be allowed in publicly accessible areas, including National Park units and Forest Service land. - Criminal and civil protections: Officers may not arrest absent probable cause that the carry falls outside the law and prosecutors must prove beyond a reasonable doubt when the defense is raised.

This bill would permanently preserve the qualified business income (QBI) deduction by removing the sunset provision in Internal Revenue Code section 199A.

Taxpayers with qualified business income would continue to claim the QBI deduction under the existing Section 199A rules for those years.

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.
