John Barrasso

This bill would stop a special tax on certain chemicals and crude oil that helps pay for cleaning up hazardous waste sites. This tax currently applies to businesses in those industries. If passed, the tax would end after December 31, 2025. This could potentially lower costs for these businesses and, as the bill's name suggests, for consumers.

This bill would require the Senate to approve any international climate agreement, like the Paris Agreement, before the U.S. can join or rejoin it. It would also block federal money from being used for these agreements without Senate approval. This changes how the President can make such deals, giving the Senate a direct say.

This bill would let Medicare Part B pay for genetic counseling services provided by qualified genetic counselors, starting January 1, 2027. It would define who counts as a genetic counselor and set up how much Medicare would pay for these services. This means people with Medicare could get more affordable access to genetic counseling.

This bill, called the Less Than Lethal Act, would remove federal taxes and special gun regulations from certain less-than-lethal devices and their ammunition. This means manufacturers and consumers would no longer pay these taxes or face strict registration rules for products designed not to cause death or serious injury. The changes would take effect for items sold after the bill becomes law.

This bill would let people directly move money from their Roth IRAs into designated Roth accounts. This change would make it simpler for individuals to combine their retirement savings and clarify how these transfers are taxed. It would also help with automatic transfers of retirement funds.

This bill would stop federal officials from putting a specific rule about importing sheep, goats, and their products into effect. This delay would last for between one and two years, giving the Secretary of Agriculture time to study the rule's possible costs and benefits. The goal is to understand how the rule might affect American farmers and consumers before it moves forward.

This bill would change how Medicare patients are assigned to certain health programs, called Medicare shared savings programs. It would make sure that primary care services from nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and clinical nurse specialists also count. This means more of the care patients already receive would be recognized, starting in 2026.

Currently, it can be hard to pinpoint the exact location of someone calling the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, which can slow down help. This bill would create a 15-member advisory committee to study this problem. The committee would then suggest new laws and actions to make sure location information is sent with 988 calls, helping responders find people faster.

This bill would ensure ranchers who graze livestock on national grasslands are treated the same as those on other federal lands when it comes to their grazing permits. It would change a specific part of a 1976 law to make sure these ranchers get consistent rules for their agreements. This means more consistent terms.
