This bill would make foster children and children under state or tribal government care eligible for special education savings accounts. These are sometimes called "Trump accounts" in the bill, but are officially known as Coverdell Education Savings Accounts. This means people could contribute money to these accounts for these children, helping them save for future education expenses. Currently, these children are not clearly allowed to get money from these accounts.

This bill would make AI chatbots verify users' ages and stop minors from accessing certain AI programs.

Federal agencies would be blocked from discriminating against religious groups over their beliefs about marriage and gender. This bill would stop the IRS from considering an organization's views on marriage, sexuality, or gender identity when deciding its tax-exempt status. It would also prevent federal agencies from denying grants or loans to religious employers. This applies when their hiring practices align with their faith.

This bill would let businesses that sell truck trailers and semi-trailers deduct more interest on loans for their inventory. Currently, these businesses can't use a special tax rule available to other vehicle dealers. If signed into law, this change would apply to tax years starting after the bill takes effect.
