Taxpayer Notification and Privacy Act
The bill strengthens taxpayer notice and opportunity to respond—improving privacy protections—but adds procedures that can slow IRS actions and increase administrative costs, and contains exceptions that may blunt those protections in practice.
Doug LaMalfa Federal Disaster Tax Relief Certainty Act
The bill expands and clarifies tax relief for disaster-affected individuals (including non-itemizers and wildfire victims) to speed recovery and simplify administration, but it reduces federal revenue, adds compliance complexity, and provides time-limited, uneven coverage that leaves some victims without relief.
Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025
The bill prioritizes exclusive, sex‑segregated athletic opportunities for cisgender girls and gives institutions clearer federal guidance, but it excludes transgender girls from girls' sports and creates legal, financial, and participation risks for schools and some students.
Taliban Rare Earth Minerals Sanctions Act
The bill strengthens U.S. tools to choke off Taliban-linked funding from Afghanistan's rare-earth sector but does so at the cost of greater legal exposure and compliance burdens for businesses and travel/immigration limits for individuals with ties to that sector.
Time of Service Act
The bill expands and restores Post‑9/11 GI Bill access for many veterans (improving educational opportunities and reducing some denials) while increasing VA program costs and creating short-term administrative work to apply the change retroactively.
Modern GI Bill Act
The bill lets veterans use Post‑9/11 GI Bill funds to directly repay federal student loans—providing immediate debt relief and predictable monthly payments—while reducing the amount of benefit available for tuition, imposing statutory caps that may leave residual debt, and requiring administrative implementation.
Veterans Cannabis Use for Safe Healing Act
The bill helps veterans access and discuss State-authorized cannabis without losing VA benefits and improves clinical guidance, but it creates legal tensions with federal drug law, raises privacy risks for medical records, and adds administrative burdens for VA providers.
Government Bailout Prevention Act
Student Athlete Act of 2026
