Shivwits Band of Paiutes Jurisdictional Clarity Act
The bill clarifies the Shivwits Band's legal status and makes commercial and leasing rules more predictable—benefiting development and non‑tribal actors—while shifting dispute resolution toward state/federal fora and arbitration, which reduces tribal legal autonomy and can raise costs, uncertainty, and enforcement challenges.
STARS Act
One free national park day expands access for families, students, and local businesses but comes at the cost of lost fee revenue and potential crowding and strain on park resources.
Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the National Park Service relating to "Glen Canyon National Recreation Area: Motor Vehicles".
Western Refined Fuel Reserve Act of 2026
The bill builds a Western regional refined‑fuels reserve to improve local fuel supply resilience and price stability using SPR authorities, but it risks shifting costs and SPR priorities to taxpayers, raising local environmental/safety concerns, and concentrating benefits geographically.
To direct the Secretary of the Interior to carry out a feasibility study on a selective water withdrawal system at Glen Canyon Dam, and for other purposes.
The bill accelerates study (and potential construction) of selective water withdrawals to improve hydropower efficiency and protect Colorado River reservoirs and ecosystems, but it increases federal spending and could impose operational changes or limit future flexibility for state and local water managers.
Rural Emergency Response Support Act
The bill clarifies overtime coverage for EMTs/paramedics—potentially increasing pay and reducing misclassification—but creates a trade-off between higher public/employer labor costs (or reduced worker protections if broadened) and short‑term legal uncertainty as the new wording is interpreted.
FREE Act
The bill speeds and standardizes permitting to reduce delays and increase predictability for businesses and infrastructure projects, but it raises meaningful risks to environmental and public‑safety protections, shifts compliance burdens onto applicants, and could increase litigation and administrative costs.
Geothermal Tax Parity Act
The bill clarifies and extends tax amortization and passive-loss language to encourage geothermal investment and reduce legal uncertainty, but it reduces near-term federal revenue, may favor larger energy firms over smaller developers, and creates short-term compliance and implementation costs.
CLEAR Act of 2025
The bill preserves existing Forest Service enforcement discretion and avoids imposing new criminal penalties on Forest Service lands, but that protection risks reduced deterrence and public-safety benefits, creates inconsistencies across federal lands, and may shift costs onto rural communities and local enforcement.
To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 35 South Main Street in Glendale, Utah, as the "Deputy Sheriff Brian Harris Post Office".
The bill renames a Glendale, UT post office to improve local identity and reduce record confusion, at the cost of small administrative expenses for updates.
