This is a wide‑ranging bill. It would pay for roads and climate work by taxing greenhouse gas pollution and adding a border fee on certain high‑emission imports. It opens party primaries to unaffiliated voters and makes Election Day a federal holiday . It bans Members of the House from owning or trading individual stocks and similar financial instruments , strengthens anti‑trafficking efforts in the financial system , and requires a quick review of U.S. intelligence sharing with Ukraine.

Key points for people and communities:

• Clean energy and infrastructure: Most revenue goes to a new trust fund that directs 70% to the Highway Trust Fund from 2027–2036, with grants to help low‑income households; it also repeals federal motor fuel and aviation taxes as the new system starts after late 2025 once rules are issued .
• Climate resilience and emissions rules: Communities can get grants to curb chronic flooding (like elevating roads, restoring dunes and reefs, and adding microgrids), with up to 90% federal cost share . Some EPA greenhouse‑gas rules are paused for fuels and taxed emissions until 2039, unless targets are missed and the pause ends earlier.
• Elections: States must let unaffiliated voters participate in primaries for federal offices, protect those voters’ data, and may receive federal funds to cover costs; it also prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal elections and links certain State funds to a certification against noncitizen voting, and makes Election Day a federal holiday .
• School safety: CISA must set rules for installing or upgrading reinforced classroom doors, with $100 million a year for 10 years to help schools pay for it .
• Veterans: Extends higher survivor benefits to spouses of veterans who die from ALS (for deaths on or after Oct. 1, 2025, with an 8‑year marriage requirement), and bolsters chances for veteran‑owned small businesses to compete for infrastructure contracts.
• Ethics and anti‑trafficking: Bans Members of the House from owning or trading individual stocks, commodities, or derivatives (with exceptions like index funds, Treasuries, municipal bonds, and TSP) and requires a compliance pledge; and directs the financial sector and federal task forces to strengthen training, detection, and referrals around human‑trafficking money flows .

It also increases funding for cancer research for five years and orders a study on cancer drug shortages, and creates a Defense Department coordinator to work with communities affected by PFAS contamination.
