Stop Stealing our Chips Act

S1260 — Rural Housing Service Reform Act of 2025

Preserve and revitalize affordable rural multifamily housing. This bill would expand foreclosure protections for Rural Housing Service (RHS) mortgages, create a permanent Housing Preservation and Revitalization program, and authorize new funding and technical help to keep rural rental properties safe and affordable. - Families and tenants: Tenants would keep rental assistance contracts during foreclosure and gain stronger resident protections and occupancy rights. Rural housing vouchers would get a new review process and could be renewed or adjusted to reflect income, family changes, or rent. - Owners, nonprofits, and purchasers: The bill would let owners restructure loans with tools like interest reductions, deferrals, and reamortization, and it would fund transfer and preservation grants to help nonprofits or public bodies buy and rehab properties. It also authorizes $200 million per year for the preservation and revitalization program for FY2026–FY2030. - Native communities and community lenders: It would create a Native Community Development Financial Institution relending program with a $50 million annual set-aside and a 20 percent non-Federal cost share requirement, plus reporting and outreach rules. This bill would authorize new federal spending, including $200 million per year for FY2026–FY2030 and a $50 million annual set-aside, which would increase federal outlays.

S554 — United States-Israel Defense Partnership Act of 2025

Deepens U.S.–Israel defense cooperation by creating funded joint programs, tech partnerships, and reporting rules that would accelerate counter-unmanned systems, emerging defense technologies, and regional defense integration. - Would require the Department of Defense to assess integrated air and missile defense in the Central Command region and deliver a final unclassified report within 180 days to guide what authorities and funding would be needed to expand cooperation. - Would create an Emerging Defense Technology Capabilities Program for joint R&D in AI, cybersecurity, robotics, quantum, and automation, designate a DoD lead directorate, and authorize $50 million a year for 2026–2030. - Would establish a U.S.–Israel Counter-Unmanned Systems Program with $150 million a year for 2026–2030, increase authorized funding for anti-tunnel work to $80 million and for counter–unmanned aerial systems to $75 million, and require regular reporting, cost-sharing, and IP agreements. Would authorize at least $200 million per year from 2026–2030 for the two new programs and raise funding caps for other programs, increasing federal spending.

S1241 — Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025

Harsh, automatic sanctions and trade penalties would be triggered if Russia refuses to negotiate with Ukraine, violates a peace deal, invades again, or seeks to subvert Ukraine's government. The bill would require visa and property-blocking sanctions, target major Russian banks, ban U.S. energy exports to Russia, restrict U.S. investments and listings tied to Russia, and force duties of at least 500% on Russian imports.

S410 — Love Lives On Act of 2025

Keeps survivor benefits after remarriage. The Love Lives On Act of 2025 would stop remarriage from automatically ending key payments and health coverage for spouses of deceased service members and veterans. It would do this by changing provisions in title 38 and title 10 of the U.S. Code to protect Dependency and Indemnity Compensation, special pension, Survivor Benefit Plan annuities, and TRICARE dependent status. - Surviving spouses: Veterans' surviving spouses would remain eligible for Dependency and Indemnity Compensation and special pension even if they remarry. This preserves ongoing monthly payments that remarriage would otherwise have ended. - Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP): The Department of Defense could not terminate an SBP annuity solely because a surviving spouse remarries. For spouses who remarried before age 55 and before enactment, the bill sets transitional rules that require annuity payments to resume either monthly starting one year after enactment or immediately for those who elected a specific child-transfer option as of Dec. 31, 2019. The bill also adds statutory language clarifying treatment of survivors of members who die on active duty. - TRICARE dependents: TRICARE's definition of dependent would expand to include a remarried widow or widower whose later marriage ended by death, divorce, or annulment.

S237 — Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act of 2025

Would create a presumption that certain exposure-related cancers in public safety officers are line-of-duty injuries. It sets a defined list of covered cancers, a process to add new cancers, and rules for who qualifies for death or permanent disability benefits.

S3597 — National Quantum Initiative Reauthorization Act of 2026

Would reauthorize and expand the National Quantum Initiative to widen definitions and guardrails, scale U.S. quantum research and workforce development, and shore up domestic supply chains and research security. It would fund new NIST centers, create a national workforce Hub, require an OSTP-led international cooperation strategy, add NASA quantum activities, and tighten rules on partnerships with foreign countries and entities of concern. - Universities, National Laboratories, nonprofits, and small businesses would compete for new centers and grants. NIST program funding is authorized at $85.0 million per year for FY2026–2030 and centers may receive up to $18.0 million per center per year. - Students, community colleges, and workers would see new training and reskilling programs. A national Hub and expanded NSF traineeships, fellowships, and scholarships would coordinate curricula, recruit underrepresented groups, and link students to jobs. - Industry and national security would be affected by supply-chain resilience efforts, export-control coordination, prize challenges to accelerate breakthroughs, and explicit limits on partnerships with specified foreign countries and entities of concern. The OSTP must deliver an International Quantum Cooperation Strategy within one year. Would authorize new discretionary funding — for example $85.0 million per year for NIST and up to $25.0 million per year for NASA for FY2026–2030 and center grants up to $18.0 million each — which would increase federal spending if appropriated.
