This bill would give hemp farmers an additional two years to get ready for new growing rules. Currently, these new rules are set to take effect in about a year. This delay would give farmers more time to understand and adapt to the upcoming changes.

This bill would let millions of workers in multiemployer plans choose whether to be automatically enrolled in certain retirement or benefit plans. Currently, these plans are not exempt from automatic enrollment rules, unlike government and church plans. If passed, this would give workers more control over their enrollment decisions starting in tax years after December 31, 2024.

This bill would make it illegal to use artificial intelligence to pretend to be people or businesses to commit fraud. It would also require companies to tell you if AI is being used in a phone call or text message. Plus, it would expand scam prevention laws to cover text and video calls.

This bill would let families affected by major disasters use their income from the year before the disaster to qualify for certain tax credits. This means if a disaster caused their income to drop, they could still get the Earned Income Credit and Child Tax Credit, helping them financially recover.

This bill would renew and expand federal efforts to prevent child drownings in swimming pools and spas. It would set aside money for grants to states, tribes, and now also nonprofits, to improve pool safety laws and educate the public. It would also fund a national education campaign to raise awareness about drowning prevention.

This bill would make it a federal crime to offer adoption services without a license, place certain adoption ads, or make large payments to birth parents without proper checks. It aims to protect families and children from harm by unlicensed adoption go-betweens. This would ensure that only licensed professionals handle these important steps. These changes would take effect 120 days after the bill becomes law.

This bill would rename Coverdell Education Savings Accounts to Coverdell Lifelong Learning Accounts. It would let people use these accounts for a wider range of job training and skill development, not just traditional education. It also changes age limits for contributions and creates new tax benefits for employers and adult beneficiaries.
