Currently, money taken from college savings plans (529 plans) for non-education costs usually faces federal income tax and an extra 10% penalty. This bill would let people use their 529 plan funds to buy a first home for themselves or certain family members. They would not have to pay federal income tax on that money.

This bill would make it safer and easier for child sex trafficking victims to testify against human traffickers. It would create new guidelines for federal agencies and update how child testimony is recorded, aiming to reduce stress and improve safety for young witnesses.

This bill would let the Attorney General offer rewards to people who provide information about bounties or money offered to harm or kill federal law enforcement officers. This aims to help catch those who try to harm federal law enforcement and prevent such acts from happening. It would create a new way to encourage people to report these dangerous activities.

This bill, called the Next Generation Nuclear Deployment Act, would expand a government program to test and develop advanced nuclear reactors, including smaller ones that could power remote areas. It would let the Department of Energy work with private companies and universities to test these new designs at more locations, even those not owned by the government. This aims to bring new nuclear energy options to more communities.

This bill would let communities rebuild faster after natural disasters. It would create a quicker way for federal agencies to approve recovery projects, like clearing debris or repairing infrastructure, in areas declared major disaster zones. This new process would still protect endangered species by requiring federal agencies to agree on best practices beforehand, but it would skip some individual environmental reviews that can cause delays.

This bill would create a new Chief Critical Minerals Negotiator within the US Trade Representative's office. This person would focus on making sure the US has a steady supply of important minerals needed for things like defense and technology. This aims to reduce the country's reliance on foreign sources and protect against supply chain problems.

This bill would change how federal courts decide whether to release a defendant before trial if they are not a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. It would require judges to assume these defendants pose a danger to the community and are a serious flight risk. To be released, these defendants would need to prove otherwise, and they could not use family or job ties in the U.S. as proof.
