Additionally, the bill makes the offenses predicate offenses (i.e., underlying offenses) for prosecutions under the federal money laundering statute and authorizes the criminal forfeiture of any property obtained from the proceeds of an offense.
Second, with respect to criminal offenses involving theft from an interstate or foreign shipment, the bill also makes an offense an underlying offense for prosecution under the federal money laundering statute and authorizes the criminal forfeiture of any associated property.
Third, the bill expands the federal money laundering statute to include offenses involving general-use prepaid cards, gift certificates, or store gift cards.

Protection for Reservation Occupants against Trafficking and Evasive Communications Today Act of 2025 or the PROTECT Act of 2025
This bill expands special tribal criminal jurisdiction (STCJ) to include certain controlled substance-related offenses and firearms offenses. It also allows tribal courts to execute warrants for electronic material.
STCJ allows participating tribes to investigate, prosecute, convict, and sentence both Indian and non-Indian offenders who commit covered crimes in Indian country against Indian victims. Covered crimes currently include assault of tribal justice personnel, child violence, dating violence, domestic violence, obstruction of justice, sexual violence, sex trafficking, stalking, and a violation of a protection order.
The bill expands STCJ to allow participating tribes to prosecute individuals for controlled substance-related offenses (i.e., drug trafficking, unlawful drug possession, or unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia) and firearms offenses (i.e., use or possession of a firearm in furtherance of a covered crime or by a person who has been convicted of domestic violence).
Additionally, the bill allows participating tribes to exercise STCJ over a controlled substance-related offense or a firearms offense if neither the defendant nor the alleged victim is an Indian. (Currently, this exception only applies in cases of obstruction of justice or assault of tribal justice personnel.)
The bill allows offenders convicted pursuant to STCJ to be incarcerated through the Bureau of Prisons Tribal Prisoner Program.
The bill gives tribal courts the same authority as state courts to compel service providers to disclose stored electronic communication information through court-issued warrants, court orders, or administrative subpoenas.

Tsunami Warning, Research, and Education Act of 2025
This bill reauthorizes through FY2030 the federal tsunami program and expands its activities relating to warnings, hazard mitigation, and research. A tsunami is a series of waves created by a large and sudden displacement of the ocean.
The bill reauthorizes the tsunami program that is generally administered by the National Weather Service of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in collaboration with public and certain private entities across the U.S. and internationally.
Also, the bill expands federal tsunami forecast and warning activities to include
• integration of global navigation satellite system information into forecasting,
• broader interagency coordination on earthquake assessments and warnings,
• updates to tsunami inundation maps to support mitigation and recovery,
• outreach from regional and local weather forecast offices to help prepare coastal communities,
• provision of a Tsunami Warning Coordinator by tsunami warning centers to coordinate with partners and stakeholders, and
• tsunami alerts through the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System.
In addition, the bill expands authorized federal tsunami hazard mitigation activities by specifying that regional risk assessments may include digital elevation models for at-risk coastline and evaluation of the impacts of tsunami debris and sediment.
The bill also requires the program's tsunami research component to develop a data portal, decision support tools, and, every three years, a research and development plan to improve detection and forecasting.
