It also sets up a grant program to help states and tribes create similar programs and ensures these orders are recognized nationwide.

This bill would create a new federal grant program to help public elementary schools, secondary schools, and preschool programs find and keep paraprofessionals, also known as teaching assistants. States would get money from the federal government and then give it to local schools and agencies to pay for training, better wages, and bonuses for these important educators. This would be a new program, as no dedicated federal grant currently exists for this purpose.

This bill, called the "Countering Threats and Attacks on Our Judges Act," would let the State Justice Institute set up a new center. This center would help protect State and local judges and court staff by offering security training, monitoring threats, and working with police to keep them safe.

This bill would require colleges to clearly share information for students who are pregnant or raising children. It would make it easier for these students to find details on things like leave policies, financial aid, and childcare resources, which aren't always easy to find today. Colleges would need to put this information on their websites.

This bill, called the Clean Slate Act of 2025, would automatically seal federal criminal records for people arrested but not convicted, or those with certain nonviolent marijuana convictions. It would also create a way for people with other nonviolent federal offenses to ask a court to seal their records. This aims to help people move forward by limiting public access to these past records.

This bill would make it illegal to import, sell, manufacture, or transfer many types of semiautomatic firearms, called 'semiautomatic assault weapons,' and large capacity ammunition devices. People who already own these items could keep them, but would face new rules for selling them privately and for secure storage. These changes would take effect immediately for new items, and 90 days after the bill becomes law for private sales.

This bill would make it easier for adults to get the education and job training they need by adding "college and career navigators" to help guide them. It would also expand the role of public libraries in offering these services and significantly increase the maximum amount of money Congress can approve for adult education programs. This means more personalized help and access to digital skills training for people looking to improve their careers or complete their education.
