Bigger tax credit for rail maintenance
Railroads and other businesses that pay for track maintenance would get a larger tax credit. The bill would raise the credit amount from $3,500 to $6,100 per eligible expenditure. It would apply to costs paid or incurred in tax years beginning after December 31, 2024. The law’s qualifying-expenditure reference date would be updated from January 1, 2015 to January 1, 2024. For tax years beginning after 2025, the $6,100 amount would rise each year with the cost-of-living adjustment, with increases rounded to the nearest $100.

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.
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.
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.
HR1262 — Mikaela Naylon Give Kids a Chance Act
Speeds and strengthens pediatric cancer drug development. It expands which cancer products companies must study in children, reshapes organ transplant network governance and fees, and adds new FDA international and transparency steps. - Children with cancer and researchers: Requires pediatric studies that produce clinically meaningful data on dosing, safety, and early effectiveness and widens the kinds of drug combinations studied. It also sets aside $25 million for pediatric drug studies in each of fiscal years 2026, 2027, and 2028. - Transplant patients and transplant network members: Changes Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network governance and financing by allowing quarterly registration fees, requiring those fees fund OPTN operations, improving electronic health record integration, and calling for a GAO review within two years. - FDA partners and drug makers: Creates an Abraham Accords Office to boost regulatory coordination and technical assistance abroad, and forces more transparency during generic (ANDA) reviews about whether generics are qualitatively and quantitatively the same as listed drugs. It also raises the Medicare Improvement Fund amount from $1.4 billion to $2.6 billion. Increases federal outlays by roughly $1.3 billion, driven by a $1.2 billion boost to the Medicare Improvement Fund and $75 million for pediatric studies, adding to federal spending.
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.
