HR4669 — FEMA Act of 2025

FEMA becomes an independent, cabinet-level agency with a clarified all-hazards mission and consolidated federal leadership for preparedness, response, recovery, mitigation, and interoperable communications.

Noncongregate sheltering can be provided without a fixed address and states cannot require a credit card for hoteling. - State, Tribal, and local governments and utilities: Creates expedited Section 409 grants for repairing public and qualifying nonprofit facilities with a Federal share floor of 75% and incentives up to 85% for resilience. Offers small-disaster block grants equal to 80% of the estimated Federal public assistance share and sets a Tribal hazard-mitigation minimum of $75.0 million per year. - Private nonprofits and houses of worship: Treats private nonprofits and houses of worship as eligible for assistance without regard to religious character and expands nonprofit closeout and eligibility parity with governments.

HR4317 — PBM Reform Act of 2025

Greater PBM transparency and tighter contract rules would require pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) to disclose detailed per‑drug revenues and rebates, protect small "essential" retail pharmacies, and change Medicaid and group plan payment rules across the drug supply chain.

Would increase federal spending for implementation by about $336 million in FY2025 and fund ongoing oversight including a $9 million annual IG appropriation.

Strengthens survivor services and tightens foreign‑assistance rules to fight human trafficking. It reauthorizes and expands prevention, survivor support, international tiering and reporting, and funding through FY2029. - Domestic survivors gain a new HHS employment and education program that funds scholarships, case management, expungement help, job training, and recovery services. Services are limited to a five‑year cumulative period per beneficiary. - International policy changes tighten withholding of nonhumanitarian, nontrade‑related foreign assistance to central governments until they meet trafficking standards and add reporting on trafficking for organ removal. The law also requires the annual Trafficking in Persons report be available in printed hardcopy. - Funding and grants are rebased and extended for FY2025–2029, raising the main TVPA annual baseline to $23.0 million. The bill also requires competitive awards and dedicates $5.0 million per year for the National Human Trafficking Hotline, cybersecurity, and public education. Authorizes higher annual federal funding for TVPA programs through FY2029, increasing authorized federal spending compared with prior baselines.

Expands Medicare telehealth access by removing geographic limits and ending an in-person requirement for telemental health. It would also change payment rules for clinics and require more oversight, training, and data reporting. - Medicare beneficiaries would be able to receive telehealth across geographies beginning October 1, 2025. Telemental health would no longer require a six-month in-person visit and tribal and Native Hawaiian facilities would be exempt from originating-site rules starting January 1, 2026. - Federally Qualified Health Centers and Rural Health Clinics would be paid for telehealth under outpatient or prospective payment methods and telehealth costs as distant-site care would count as allowable PPS costs. The HHS Secretary could waive limits on which practitioner types may furnish telehealth starting October 1, 2025 with annual public comment and a three-year reassessment requirement. - The bill would strengthen program integrity funding for telehealth, require CMS to post quarterly telehealth data, and add telehealth to quality-measure reviews within 180 days.
