Rebuild U.S. commercial shipbuilding and a U.S.-flag strategic fleet by pairing new tax credits, grants, and operating payments with stronger cargo-preference rules and workforce and innovation programs to restore domestic capacity and sealift readiness.

HR4393 — DIGNIDAD (Dignity) Act of 2025
This bill would create a comprehensive immigration and border-security overhaul that layers new physical barriers and surveillance with big changes to employer verification, asylum processing, and legal-status pathways. It bundles construction and funding, a rethought E‑Verify system, expedited asylum at humanitarian campuses, and new conditional and Dignity status routes for long‑term residents. - Would expand humanitarian processing and asylum rules for migrants. It would establish at least three southern border humanitarian campuses for screening, medical checks, legal orientation, and an expedited asylum track with a 72‑hour arrival rest and a 15‑day initial screening goal. - Would change worksite verification and employer rules. It would replace the current system with a new Employment Eligibility Verification System, phase mandatory employer use by size over 6–24 months, allow secondary checks and a limited good‑faith defense, and raise penalties and debarment authority for violations. - Would invest in ports, infrastructure, and backlog tools and create a new trust fund. It would authorize $2.0 billion annually for ports in FY2026–2030, create an Immigration Infrastructure and Debt Reduction Fund, and permit premium processing deposits including a $20,000 premium option to address visa backlogs. Would authorize substantial new appropriations and fee deposits, including $2.0 billion annually for FY2026–2030, increasing federal outlays.
HR6644 — Housing for the 21st Century Act
*A federal push to increase housing supply by modernizing zoning and reforming housing programs.* The bill pairs model zoning guidelines and local planning pilots with HOME program changes and multiple HUD pilots to speed production and improve tenant supports. - Families and renters: HOME program rules harmonize income limits to 100% of area median income and raise homeownership eligibility to 110% AMI, expanding who can get help for rental and homebuying. Tenants in federally assisted housing gain new supports such as an eviction helpline and pilots for escrow accounts and internet-connected temperature sensors to track habitability. - Local governments and planners: HUD must publish model zoning guidelines within 3 years and recipients must report on land-use policy adoption. The bill funds pattern-book grants and planning/implementation pilots so jurisdictions can adopt pre-approved designs and streamline permitting. - Builders and manufactured housing sector: The law lets manufactured homes be built without a permanent chassis and requires new federal standards plus state certification within 1 year to ensure parity in financing, titling, and installation.
HR3633 — Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025
Would create a comprehensive federal framework to regulate digital assets, stablecoins, exchanges, and custody across the SEC and CFTC. It would set rules for issuer disclosures and a maturity test for blockchains, register digital-commodity exchanges and brokers, require qualified custodians, protect individual self-custody, and prohibit a retail Federal Reserve CBDC.
HR2086 — Rights for the TSA Workforce Act
Applies the Title 5 federal personnel system to Transportation Security Administration employees. The bill would move TSA staff onto standard federal pay, hiring, and labor rules to preserve pay and strengthen workplace protections. - Screening agents would gain Title 5 labor protections, including the ability to form a bargaining unit under Chapter 71 and continuation of existing pay and leave benefits during the transition. - Federal air marshals and TSA criminal investigators would keep Law Enforcement Availability Pay (LEAP) and get overtime parity with the Fair Labor Standards Act, and certain premium pay would count toward pay and retirement calculations. - Office of Personnel Management and payroll systems would be updated to Title 5 job series and pay rules within 180 days, the conversion would complete by Dec 31, 2025, and the Comptroller General would review recruitment, promotions, harassment policies, and require annual TSA workforce reports.
HR4896 — Warehouse Worker Protection Act
Limits on productivity quotas and strengthens protections for covered warehouse employees. It creates a Fairness and Transparency Office, sets paid-break and data rules, and expands enforcement across agencies. - Workers: Gives covered employees a paid 15-minute rest break for every 4 hours worked and bars retaliation for exercising rights. It creates a rebuttable presumption of retaliation for adverse actions close in time to protected activity and requires employers to investigate and correct inaccurate work-speed data. - Employers: Forces contemporaneous recordkeeping of each employee's work-speed data, aggregated peer data, and written quota descriptions. Employers must retain records at least 3 years after termination and preserve the 6 months before termination and limit quota disclosures to legitimate business needs. - Agencies and enforcement: Creates a Fairness and Transparency Office inside the Wage and Hour Division led by a presidentially appointed Director. OSHA must propose ergonomic rules within 3 years and finalize them within 4 years. The Federal Trade Commission may treat quota violations as unfair or deceptive acts and agencies must coordinate enforcement and education.
