Illegal Red Snapper and Tuna Enforcement Act
Crow Tribe Water Rights Settlement Amendments Act of 2025
The bill directs dedicated funding and federal account management to improve Crow Tribe water infrastructure and preserves tribal ownership, but shifts ongoing operation and maintenance costs to the Tribe and introduces potential delays and reduced timing control from Secretary‑managed accounts.
To require the Secretary of Agriculture to convey the Pleasant Valley Ranger District Administrative Site to Gila County, Arizona.
The bill transfers ~232.9 acres of National Forest land to Gila County at no purchase cost to enable local veteran services and planning control, while shifting financial risks and removing public forest land from federal management—trading expanded veteran-focused facilities for reduced public access and increased local fiscal and legal liability.
License to Drill Act
The bill streamlines and speeds fee transfers and reduces administrative burden, but risks narrowing how funds are allocated—potentially lowering payments to states and reducing transparency for taxpayers and recipients.
Mystic Alerts Act
The bill expands the reach of emergency alerts via satellite and limits consumer fees and provider legal risk to encourage participation, but benefits may be uneven due to device compatibility, voluntary provider participation, privacy risks, and reduced user recourse.
Chiricahua National Park Act
The bill upgrades the site to National Park status and strengthens tribal access and cultural protections, improving conservation and legal clarity while creating greater restrictions on nearby land use, added local infrastructure pressures and occasional closures, and modest additional federal/administrative costs.
Southcentral Foundation Land Transfer Act of 2025
The bill transfers a federal parcel to a community health provider to expand local health services and speed reuse, while limiting the new owner's liability for past contamination — trading improved local care access and lower operating costs against potential environmental health risks and public cleanup or foregone federal revenue.
Retire through Ownership Act
The bill gives ESOP fiduciaries clearer, usable appraisal standards that can reduce disputes and speed transactions, at the cost of increased risk of lower valuation scrutiny (and potential overvaluation) and lingering uncertainty for past transactions until regulators act.
Clergy Act
The bill gives eligible religious workers a clear, one‑time path to join Social Security and access retirement/survivor benefits, but doing so can trigger substantial immediate and ongoing tax costs, administrative burdens, and potential timing confusion for benefit payments.
Enhancing Detection of Human Trafficking Act
The bill strengthens federal anti‑trafficking detection, referral, and oversight through a common legal definition, targeted DOL training, and annual reporting — but it risks excluding some victims, increasing privacy and administrative burdens, and producing rushed or uneven implementation if safeguards and resources are not adequate.
Reversionary Interest Conveyance Act
The bill clarifies and privatizes title for adjacent property owners and secures railroad rights while channeling sale proceeds into a conservation account, but it transfers federal land interests to private hands, imposes purchase costs on buyers, and limits some neighbors' land-use rights and legal remedies.
Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe Project Lands Restoration Act
The bill transfers roughly 1,082.63 acres into trust and explicitly preserves tribal treaty and river protections—strengthening tribal sovereignty, cultural use, and environmental safeguards—while reducing potential gaming opportunities, shrinking federal park acreage for those parcels and limiting some fiscal transparency around the transfer.
Critical Infrastructure Manufacturing Feasibility Act
The bill directs a public study that could identify reshoring opportunities to boost supply resilience and domestic jobs, but those gains may come with higher consumer prices, potential taxpayer costs, infrastructure strain for rural areas, and limits to the study's accuracy if firms withhold data.
Vicksburg National Military Park Boundary Modification Act
The bill transfers two small parcels to Mississippi so the State can improve visitor access and assume maintenance (reducing federal burden), but does so at the cost of reduced federal stewardship and with risks that state development could harm park resources or limit future park management.
Romance Scam Prevention Act
The bill strengthens consumer protections against dating-site fraud by requiring fast alerts and creating federal enforcement, but it raises compliance costs for platforms and risks false positives, privacy issues, and reduced state regulatory flexibility.
American Music Tourism Act of 2025
The bill aims to boost local economies and make U.S. music attractions easier to find for travelers, but it could increase taxpayer costs, concentrate benefits in established hubs, raise local prices, and strain sensitive local environments.
Improving Social Security’s Service to Victims of Identity Theft Act
The bill centralizes and professionalizes SSA handling of SSN misuse—improving continuity and transparency for victims—but increases administrative costs and relies on effective implementation to deliver promised benefits.
Billion Dollar Boondoggle Act of 2025
The bill improves transparency and standardized reporting on major federal project cost and schedule problems—helping taxpayers and Congress detect and oversee overruns—but it creates new administrative costs, disclosure risks for contractors, and potential political pressure that could disrupt long‑running programs.
GLRI Act of 2026
The bill secures predictable, multi-year funding to improve Great Lakes water quality and support local restoration jobs, at the cost of $2.5 billion in federal spending and risks of appropriation delays and reduced funds for other priorities.
MORE American Fuel Act of 2026
The bill accelerates the start and regulatory alignment of uranium enrichment projects and increases local notice, but does so by allowing pre-license construction that raises community safety, financial, and procedural-risk concerns and places greater strain on NRC oversight.
Wildfire Emissions Prevention Act of 2026
The bill speeds and simplifies exceptional-event determinations and funds smoke-mitigation for schools and communities—helping tribes and reducing state burdens—while raising credible risks that faster deemed approvals, funding limits, and implementation delays could weaken air-quality protections or leave many high-need communities without support.
Making America's Food Safer Act
The bill improves public‑health responsiveness and speeds market access by expanding accredited third‑party certifications, accelerating data sharing, and enabling faster removal of dangerous imports — but it increases reliance on third parties, raises small‑business costs, creates privacy and confidentiality risks, and requires more oversight and administrative work to prevent gaps or misuse.
Protect College Sports Act of 2026
The bill meaningfully expands athlete rights, health protections, and predictable revenue/voice for student‑athletes, but does so at the cost of substantial new funding, administrative requirements, and much greater litigation and compliance exposure for schools, conferences, and potentially taxpayers.
Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2026
Extending the federal terrorism insurance backstop protects businesses and stabilizes the insurance market but maintains taxpayer exposure and may damp private-market solutions while creating potential timing-related cost shifts for insurers and policyholders.
Falun Gong and Victims of Forced Organ Harvesting Protection Act
The bill strengthens legal definitions, reporting, and a sanctions mechanism to hold perpetrators accountable and inform U.S. policy, but it relies on limited administrative resources, time‑limited authorities, and narrow sanction tools that may weaken long‑term deterrence, raise compliance costs, and risk diplomatic or research fallout.
Safe Access to Cash Act of 2026
The bill strengthens federal tools to deter and punish ATM-related theft and violence and clarifies protections for ATM property, but it expands federal reach and penalties in ways that raise taxpayer costs, increase enforcement and compliance burdens, and create legal questions that could reduce prosecutions or produce uneven sentencing.
Unlocking Native Lands and Opportunities for Commerce and Key Economic Developments Act of 2025
The bill increases tribal ability to grant and expedite rights‑of‑way and simplifies approvals for federally funded projects, but does so by imposing federal conditions and reducing certain environmental and preservation reviews and liability protections—trading some federal safeguards for faster tribal land‑use authority.
Health Care Cybersecurity and Resiliency Act of 2026
The bill strengthens health‑sector cybersecurity—reducing breach risk, improving coordination, and funding technical support—at the cost of new federal spending, significant compliance burdens (especially for small and rural providers), and some privacy/vendor‑risk tradeoffs that will require careful implementation and sustained funding to avoid capacity gaps.
Albuquerque Indian School Act of 2026
The bill transfers a small parcel of land into federal trust to give 19 Pueblos clearer legal title and access to federal benefits and protections, while limiting certain economic uses (notably Class I–III gaming) and preserving preexisting encumbrances and a federal easement that constrain development flexibility.
Crystal Reservoir Conveyance Act
The bill hands local authorities title, control, and public recreational protections for the reservoir—benefiting local water management and recreation—while shifting ongoing costs, legal obligations, and development restrictions onto the City and its residents.
