The bill expands and clarifies tax relief to give disaster and wildfire victims (including non-itemizers and some past-loss claimants) faster, larger tax benefits to aid recovery, at the cost of reduced federal revenue, added compliance complexity, and time-limited/uneven coverage that may leave some victims without relief.
First Responder Network Authority Reauthorization Act of 2026

James T. Woods Act
The bill strengthens federal tools to deter and punish online coercion and threats against minors—improving protections and enforcement consistency—but does so at the cost of expanded federal criminal jurisdiction, higher incarceration costs, and meaningful risks of overbreadth and due-process/First Amendment harms.
Providing for a joint session of Congress to receive a message from the President.
Veterans Accessibility Advisory Committee Act of 2025
