Veterans with pending disability claims would get refunds for home loan fees. This bill aims to ensure that if a veteran pays a fee for a VA-backed home loan while waiting for a disability decision, they would get that money back if their claim is approved. It also makes sure that any fees collected by mistake would be refunded or credited.

This bill would stop tiny plastic pellets from polluting our waters. It requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to create new rules within 60 days to ban these discharges. This means companies making, using, or shipping plastic pellets would need to prevent them from getting into rivers and oceans.

This bill would let veterans who earned a Purple Heart or Medal of Honor get their passports for free. Right now, everyone pays these fees. This change would save these veterans money when applying for or renewing their passports.

This bill would make it easier for children of military families to qualify for free or reduced-price school meals.

The bill also asks for a report on how to make it simpler for these children to get meals automatically.

This bill would create new rules for very large electricity users, like big data centers or factories. It would make them pay for the electric grid upgrades needed to power their facilities, which could help prevent these costs from being passed on to everyday customers. It would also give priority service to big users who use clean energy and reduce demand.

This bill would stop the U.S. government from using federal money to help Venezuela's oil industry. This includes things like financing projects, offering insurance, or promoting the sector. It aims to protect taxpayers from risky investments in that country.

This bill would let families include certain Medicare premiums paid by household members when calculating their health care insurance tax credit. This could mean a larger tax credit for eligible taxpayers. The change would take effect for coverage months starting after December 31, 2025.

This bill would stop political campaigns and groups from automatically taking recurring donations from people unless they clearly say 'yes' first. It would make sure donors actively agree to repeat payments, rather than just missing an 'uncheck' box. Campaigns would also need to provide clear receipts and easy ways to cancel future payments.
