    HR-3682

    Financial Stability Oversight Council Improvement Act of 2025

    60%
    Banking Regulation
    Procedural Corrections
    Government Accountability & Oversight

    The bill adds procedural protections and interagency consultation to reduce arbitrary designations of systemically risky nonbanks, but those added steps could delay regulatory action and make it harder to impose timely safeguards, potentially increasing systemic risk and costs to taxpayers.

    Mike Bost
    HR-988Bill

    To amend title 36, United States Code, to move the place of incorporation and domicile of the National Woman's Relief Corps to Illinois, to move the principal office of such Corps to Murphysboro, Illinois, and for other purposes.

    10%
    Territorial Affairs
    Procedural Corrections

    This bill formally moves the National Woman’s Relief Corps' legal home and service contacts to Illinois—which clarifies location and legal procedures for the organization—but imposes modest administrative and recordkeeping adjustments for members and the group during the transition.

    DEFIANCE Act of 2025

    65%
    Privacy & Surveillance
    Procedural Corrections
    Social Media Safety

    The bill substantially strengthens legal and privacy protections and monetary remedies for victims of nonconsensual intimate deepfakes, but does so at the risk of chilling lawful expression, imposing significant costs and liability on platforms and defendants, and creating transparency and moderation complexities.

    10%
    Procedural Corrections

    Uniformed Services Leave Parity Act

    10%
    Federal Workforce
    Procedural Corrections
    Public Health Preparedness

    The bill replaces USPHS-specific leave law with the standard federal leave chapter to improve clarity and parity, but it risks removing tailored protections and producing short-term benefit changes and administrative confusion for some Public Health Service employees.

    Edith Nourse Rogers STEM Scholarship Opportunity Act

    30%
    Veterans Benefits
    Procedural Corrections

    The bill prioritizes STEM scholarship access for certain veterans and preserves current pension payment-limit rules to maintain benefits and administrative continuity, at the cost of restricting access for some veterans, potentially increasing near-term taxpayer exposure, and delaying policy changes.

    Mental Health in Aviation Act of 2025

    40%
    Aviation
    Procedural Corrections
    Mental Health & Substance Use

    The bill aims to improve aviation safety by encouraging treatment, expanding examiner capacity, and speeding certification with more stakeholder input and oversight—but it shifts taxpayer funds, risks added evaluations/groundings and administrative costs, and could create privacy, consistency, or safety tradeoffs if implementation and oversight are imperfect.

    Ports & Shipping
    Commemorative Designations
    Sense of Congress
    Nat'l Security

    The bill strengthens U.S. tools and international coordination to disrupt maritime piracy and protect shipping and humanitarian aid, but it raises civil‑liberties and due‑process concerns, increases compliance and potential economic costs, and may create expectations of action without guaranteed resources.
