This bill would make coal mining companies put up more money upfront to ensure they clean up their sites after mining. It would also hold company owners and major investors more responsible for cleanup costs, including long-term water pollution, helping ensure proper cleanup and reduce risks from abandoned mines. Federal and state agencies would create new rules to set these bond amounts.

Today, Congress doesn't have to set aside money for veterans' care when they authorize military force. This bill would change that. It would require any future authorization for military action to also include permission to spend money for veterans' medical care, disability pay, and other benefits.

This bill would require the Federal Railroad Administration to create a detailed report on why pressure relief devices on rail tank cars fail during derailments. This report would help Congress understand the causes of these failures and suggest ways to prevent them. It would affect rail safety and involve several government agencies and rail industry groups.

This bill would make sure veterans know about the benefits they can get. It would require many employers to put up a notice in their workplace that lists federal and state benefits for veterans. This means veterans and job applicants would have easier access to this important information.

This bill would help state and local police departments afford bulletproof vests by increasing the federal government's share of the cost from 50 percent to 60 percent. It would also set aside $60,000,000 each year for five years to pay for the program, starting in the government's budget year 2026. This means more officers could get the vests they need.

This bill would set aside over $200 billion to upgrade America's railroads over five years. It would create new grant programs for states to improve passenger and freight lines, fund electric trains, and establish training centers for rail workers. This means more reliable, cleaner train travel and new job opportunities for many Americans.
