Improving Training for School Food Service Workers Act of 2025

S2823 — FAMILY Act

Creates a national paid family and medical leave insurance program that would pay monthly benefits to people who take caregiving or medical leave. The program centers administration at the Social Security Administration and sets eligibility, benefit formulas, state grant rules, and data-sharing to prevent fraud. - Families: People taking leave for caregiving or a serious health condition would get monthly wage-replacement benefits based on a tiered formula that starts at 85% for low wages and steps down for higher earnings. Initial benefit thresholds in 2026 include $1,257 and $3,500 and the law sets a minimum and maximum monthly benefit. - Workers and applicants: Eligibility would depend on wages or self-employment income over the most recent eight quarters with an initial earnings test of $2,000 in 2026. Benefit periods are measured over a year, applications can request retroactive coverage up to 365 days, and the bill requires certifications and appeals processes. - States, employers, and administration: The bill preserves and coordinates with state leave laws by creating a "legacy State" category and an annual grant program starting in 2027 for qualifying States, with up to 7% allowed for administrative costs. It would create an Office of Paid Family and Medical Leave inside SSA to run the program, share data with federal and state partners, and require periodic GAO reviews.

S51 — Washington, D.C. Admission Act

This bill would admit the District of Columbia as the State of Washington, Douglass Commonwealth, giving its residents full congressional representation. It would also carve out a separate federal 'Capital' around core federal buildings and set a staged transition for courts, services, and federal property. - Residents: District residents would gain two Senators and one Representative immediately upon admission and the current non‑voting Delegate office would be repealed. - Territory and federal limits: A defined Capital area including the Capitol, White House, Supreme Court, and adjacent federal lands would remain under U.S. title or jurisdiction and generally would not be subject to state taxation except where Congress permits. - Courts, justice, and transition supports: The bill would keep federal prosecution support, U.S. Marshals services, pretrial and public defender arrangements, and Bureau of Prisons housing rules during transition; it would provide a temporary Federal Medical Assistance Percentage uplift for five years and establish an 18‑member Statehood Transition Commission to oversee the change.

S1503 — Equality Act

Treat sexual orientation and gender identity as forms of sex discrimination across federal law. The bill would explicitly add sexual orientation and gender identity to federal sex‑discrimination protections and apply those rules across many statutes and programs.

S1232 — Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act

Prevent workplace violence against health care and social service workers. The bill would require a federal OSHA workplace-violence prevention standard that forces covered employers to build facility-specific prevention plans, run training, keep incident logs, and report violence data to the Department of Labor and Congress. - Health care and social service workers would get required annual training, anti-retaliation protections for reporting incidents, access to plan records, and meaningful participation in creating and updating prevention plans. - Covered employers would have to develop, implement, and maintain a written workplace violence prevention plan for each facility within 6 months of the interim standard. They would also conduct prompt incident investigations, prepare annual summaries, and keep plan and incident records for 5 years. - The rule would apply broadly to hospitals, nursing homes, community clinics, psychiatric and substance use treatment centers, home health and emergency transport services, correctional facility clinics, and other sites the Secretary designates. It would also extend the standard to Medicare-funded hospitals and skilled nursing facilities that fall outside traditional OSHA coverage.

S2295 — Child Care for Working Families Act

This bill creates a new, comprehensive federal entitlement for children from birth through five that guarantees access to affordable, high‑quality early care and learning. It pairs a universal preschool program with multi‑year grants to stabilize providers and new Head Start wage and expansion funding.

S2377 — EACH Act of 2025

Guarantees abortion coverage across federal health programs. This bill would require federal health programs to cover abortion services, empower the federal government to act as payer and provider, and block federal limits on private or state coverage. - People who get care through the programs named in the bill, including Medicaid, CHIP, Medicare, Indian Health Service, TRICARE, veterans benefits, refugee and detention health services, and other federal plans would have abortion services covered under those programs. - The federal government would be required to ensure access to abortion care in its own facilities or through contracted providers and to serve as an insurer or payer for those services. - The bill would repeal Section 1303 of the Affordable Care Act, make conforming amendments, assert that it supersedes other federal law, and state that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act does not apply to limit its provisions.
