Wisdom, Justice, Moderation
To amend the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to extend the authorities of title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 through April 30, 2026, and for other purposes.
The bill provides clearer statutory timing that reduces legal ambiguity and forces near‑term planning, but risks reduced surveillance authorities and public‑safety impacts while imposing transitional legal and compliance costs.
To repeal certain provisions relating to notification to Senate offices regarding legal process on disclosure of Senate data, and for other purposes.
Ocmulgee Mounds National Park Redesignation Act
The bill secures trust land, strengthens tribal roles and protections and establishes Ocmulgee Mounds as a National Park — improving conservation, services, and tribal partnership — while concentrating some decision-making authority in the Secretary, creating administrative and jurisdictional complexities, and limiting certain local economic options (notably gaming and local tax base).
Removing Barriers to Work for Disabled Americans Act
The bill extends and clarifies authority for expanded Social Security demonstration projects—preserving participant protections and enabling longer-term evaluation—while risking longer-term administrative changes without fresh congressional review and placing additional pressure on Social Security trust fund balances.
To amend title 5, United States Code, to add certain employees of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to the definition of employees in fire protection activities for the purpose of compensation for certain illnesses and diseases deemed to be proximately caused by employment in fire protection activities.
The bill extends and clarifies hazard-related compensation protections for certain federal fire investigators and ATF responders, improving benefits access and claims handling but potentially raising federal compensation costs and—if limited to new claims—leaving earlier claimants unprotected.
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to deny deduction for outsourcing payments.
The bill strengthens tax enforcement and could raise federal revenue while incentivizing domestic hiring, but it imposes higher tax costs and compliance burdens on businesses that use foreign services and risks higher consumer prices and cross-border disputes.
Expedited Guaranteed Lender Pilot Program Act
The bill speeds and simplifies bridge lending for certain small agricultural borrowers and reduces lender paperwork while increasing reporting, but concentrates expedited access with preferred lenders, raises potential taxpayer risk from faster processing, and makes benefits temporary pending a 2031 sunset.
Purple Heart Freedom to Work Act
The bill strengthens disability protections and raises earning allowances for Purple Heart recipients (helping injured veterans and their families), but it increases Social Security costs, can create work-disincentives at higher earnings, and introduces short implementation delays and some uncertainty.
Commodity Futures Trading Commission Research and Development Modernization Act of 2025
The bill accelerates and clarifies Commission R&D and pilot work with flexible access to outside tools and contributions to address emerging tech and cyber risks, but it raises procurement, accountability, and conflict‑of‑interest risks and is temporary unless extended.
Ocmulgee Mounds National Park and Preserve Establishment Act
The bill strengthens federal protection, tribal recognition, and cultural-resource stewardship at Ocmulgee—boosting local tourism and tribal participation—while shifting land control and costs to the federal government and altering local taxation, jurisdiction, and some private land-use rights.
