Passed House
Speeds hazardous fuels reduction and wildfire resilience by creating designated fireshed areas, a joint Fireshed Center, and new authorities that would streamline planning, data sharing, and on-the-ground restoration across federal, Tribal, state, local, private, and nonprofit lands.
Note: The sources set many deadlines, reporting rules, pilot programs, and several seven‑year sunsets but do not provide a specific federal cost estimate.
10 provisions identified: 7 benefits, 0 costs, 3 mixed.
If enacted, the simplified contracting limit for local forest work would jump from $10,000 to $55,000. Starting January 1, 2027, that $55,000 would be adjusted each year for inflation (CPI‑U). The agency would start seeking bids for fireshed work 30 days after enactment. For long‑term stewardship deals over 5 years made after enactment, if the agency cancels, the contractor would get 10% of the contract amount.
If enacted, Interior would set up a casualty assistance program within 6 months for wildland firefighters and support staff. Families would get case managers, counseling, a free portal listing benefits, and travel reimbursements for death or hospital visits. The bill would set clear notification and training rules for casualty officers within 6 months. It would also keep current line‑of‑duty death benefits in place and unchanged.
If passed, the Forest Service would craft a plan to use grazing to lower wildfire risk. It would speed reviews that let permit‑holders graze on vacant allotments when droughts, fires, or disasters disrupt normal use. The plan would expand targeted grazing and temporary permits to reduce fuels and invasive grasses, and support post‑fire recovery where appropriate.
If passed, agencies would launch a single portal within 30 days to apply for many federal wildfire grants with one simpler form. The program would offer technical help to applicants and run for 7 years. Within 1 year, agencies would also start pilots to test new wildfire tech and report yearly. A new prize would reward wildfire‑resistant designs if Congress provides money.
If enacted, the Forest Service would create a national plan within 1 year to boost tree nursery capacity and seedling supply. Agencies would also deliver a 2‑year Seeds of Success strategy to build the domestic seed supply chain. The plan would focus on post‑fire reseeding, regional native plant programs, more storage and cleaning capacity, and faster permits to collect seed on BLM lands.
If passed, Interior would start a program within 1 year to support priority reforestation, make annual project lists, and report to Congress. Agencies would assess white oak on federal lands within 90 days, launch pilot projects, and create a voluntary grant program within 180 days, subject to funding. USDA could partner with Tribes and schools to research white oak genetics, seed banks, and better regeneration. Most of these authorities would end 7 years after enactment.
If enacted, the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program would add new project types, require standard monitoring, cap awards at four per region per year, and run through 2030. The water source program would clearly define adjacent land, require written owner consent for work on adjacent non‑federal land, and favor projects that protect water supply and quality and reduce drought, fire, and flood risks.
This bill would set up national fireshed areas to guide wildfire work, with maps that last 5 years and update every 5 years. If a Governor or Tribe asks in writing, the agency would sign a shared stewardship deal within 90 days to reduce risk across borders. Agencies would publish a public registry with maps and project status. They would also report each year on acres treated for hazardous fuels, including cost per acre and risk levels, and start standardized tracking within 90 days. Some steps would streamline reviews and limit court delays for covered actions.
If enacted, more forest projects could use streamlined environmental reviews and larger project limits, with some thresholds raised to 10,000 acres. More partners, including Tribes and special districts, could work with agencies, and some new permanent roads could be allowed if approved. Agencies would also set payment timeline rules within 1 year for fire cost‑share deals to speed reimbursements. These steps could speed work, but the added road authority and broader exclusions may raise local concerns.
If passed, utilities could clear vegetation up to 150 feet near lines on federal land under approved plans, with no new permanent roads and temporary roads removed within 3 years. Utilities with permits could remove trees without a separate timber sale; if they sell the wood, net proceeds would go to the agency. A plan without changes would be automatically approved after 120 days; if changed, the agency would set a timeline that ends by day 165 and list fixes. Some areas, like Wilderness, would remain excluded from these faster steps.

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.
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.
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.
HR909 — Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act of 2025
Would make the False Claims Act apply to deposits to the Crime Victims Fund through FY2029. It would also require an Inspector General audit that sets the audit's scope, timing, and recipients, and the measure is titled the Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act of 2025. - Entities that make deposits to the Crime Victims Fund would be subject to the False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. 3729–3731) for deposits from enactment through FY2029. - An Inspector General audit would examine the Crime Victims Fund and the bill would set the audit's scope, timing, and who receives the report.
HRES166 — Expressing support for the Iranian people's desires for a democratic, secular, and nonnuclear Republic of Iran, and condemning the Iranian regime's terrorism, regional proxy war, internal suppression, and for other purposes.
Supports the Iranian people's desire for a democratic, secular, and nonnuclear republic. This resolution would condemn the Islamic Republic for terrorism, regional proxy wars, weapons transfers, and domestic repression, and it urges Western nations to sustain sanctions and protect Iranian political refugees. - Iranian protesters and resistance: Affirms that Iranians should determine their political future by vote and highlights major protests led by women and youth. - Victims and minorities inside Iran: Recalls alleged abuses including executions during the first four months of Masoud Pezeshkian's presidency, citing over 500 prisoners killed and at least 17 women, and names repression of Kurds, Baluchis, Arabs, Christians, Jews, Baha'is, Zoroastrians, and Sunni Muslims. - Regional security and trade: Characterizes Iran as a source of terrorism and instability, accusing it of funding proxies and supplying weapons, missiles, and drones that threaten ships, Red Sea trade, and U.S. forces. - Allies and refugees: Urges Western governments to hold the regime accountable with ongoing sanctions, support the Iranian opposition and the Ten-Point Plan for the Future of Iran, and work with Albania to protect political refugees at Ashraf 3 under the 1951 Geneva Convention and the European Convention on Human Rights.
