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.
HR689 — FREE Act
Creates a standard "permitting by rule" path to speed approvals and limit agency discretion. The FREE Act would require agencies to review every permit type, decide whether permitting by rule could replace current processes, and set timelines, deemed approvals, audits, and appeal rules to enforce faster decisions. - Applicants and local projects would get faster certainty. Agencies would have to create permitting-by-rule procedures within 12 months for eligible permits, allow filings based on written certifications, and trigger a deemed grant if the agency does not act within 180 days. Agencies must contact applicants within 7 days to fix missing certifications and may face attorney fees if they unreasonably delay and lose in court. - Federal agencies would face a new inventory and review duty. Each agency would report within 240 days after OMB guidance on every permit type, typical timelines, and whether permitting by rule is feasible, and they would face audits and narrower grounds to deny certified filings. - Congress and watchdogs would get oversight tools. OMB must issue guidance in 120 days and the Government Accountability Office would report on agency accuracy and implementation progress within 2 years.
HR1329 — Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum Act
Authorize the Smithsonian American Women's History Museum within the Reserve of the National Mall. It would remove an earlier site-designation limit, set a transfer and notification process for federal land, require exhibits to reflect diverse and authentic women's experiences with defined guidance, and mandate regular reports to Congress. - Smithsonian and the Board of Regents — Would be able to place the museum inside the National Mall Reserve and the bill removes a prior limiting phrase that constrained site designation. - Other federal agencies — Must receive notice before a site under their administrative jurisdiction is designated. The agency head must promptly notify specified House and Senate committees and then transfer administrative jurisdiction as soon as practicable. - Museum visitors and Congress — The Council must ensure exhibits and programs accurately represent varied cultures, histories, events, and values of women and seek guidance from a broad array of knowledgeable and respected sources with definitions for those terms. The Secretary must report to Congress 120 days after enactment and every two years on actions taken and planning.
HR425 — Repealing Big Brother Overreach Act
Ends the Corporate Transparency Act and removes its amendments from federal law. It also adjusts related U.S. Code citations and parts of the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 to reflect that repeal. - Repeals the Corporate Transparency Act as title LXIV of division F of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-283) and removes all amendments made by that Act. - Edits Title 31, United States Code by removing or changing cross-references that mentioned section 5336 and updating references in sections 5321 and 5322. - Alters the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 by repealing section 6502 and striking or modifying portions of section 6509 as described in the bill.
