Block the Use of Transatlantic Technology in Iranian Made Drones Act
The bill tightens U.S. and allied controls and outreach to block Iran's access to UAS-related technologies—lowering threats to Americans and partners—while imposing compliance costs, risking supply‑chain and civilian-technology disruption, and raising diplomatic and oversight trade-offs.
To amend the Act of August 9, 1955 (commonly known as the “Long-Term Leasing Act”), to authorize leases of up to 99 years for land in the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe Reservation and land held in trust for the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah), and for other purposes
The bill lets the Mashpee Wampanoag and Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) use longer leases to support stable housing and multi-decade projects, but it increases the risk of reduced tribal control and diminished land/housing availability for future tribal members if leases are not carefully negotiated.
Expanding the Surety Bond Program Act of 2025

Sea Turtle Rescue Assistance and Rehabilitation Act of 2025

Captain Accursio “Gus” Sanfilippo Young Fishermen’s Development Act

Recognizing the seriousness of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and expressing support for the designation of September 2025 as "PCOS Awareness Month".
The resolution raises awareness and documents substantial health and economic harms from PCOS—potentially increasing diagnosis, mental‑health attention, and justification for funding—while stopping short of providing funding or policy changes, which may create unmet expectations and short‑term cost or stigma risks.
Salem Maritime National Historical Park Redesignation and Boundary Study Act
The bill increases local recognition, tourism, preservation support, and administrative clarity for historic sites but imposes modest federal and local costs, potential infrastructure strain, possible land‑use constraints for property owners, and delays while a multi-year study proceeds.
