After Hours Child Care Act

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.

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.

HR2102 — Major Richard Star Act

Establishes concurrent receipt for retirees with combat-related disabilities. This bill would let eligible retirees receive both military retired pay and veterans' disability compensation for the same months without the offset rules that currently reduce payments. - Families of disabled retirees: Veterans with combat-related disabilities would receive both retired pay and VA disability compensation for the same months, increasing their monthly household income. - Defense and VA payment rules: The bill would amend 10 U.S.C. 1413a and 10 U.S.C. 1414 to exempt retired pay from reductions under 38 U.S.C. 5304 and 5305 and add a clear monthly no-offset rule. - Implementation and technical changes: It renames and updates chapter sections, adjusts cross-references, and applies to payments beginning the first month after enactment.

HR2048 — Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act

Ends Social Security and Medicare waiting periods for people with metastatic breast cancer.
