Agricultural and Forestry Hauling Efficiency Act

This bill allows Virginia to increase the vehicle weight limit for covered agricultural vehicles traveling on interstate highways to 90,000 pounds. Specifically, Virginia may provide a special permit for these covered agricultural vehicles to operate on interstate highways in Virginia.

The term covered agricultural vehicle means a vehicle that is transporting (1) unprocessed agricultural crops used for food, feed, or fiber; or (2) raw or unfinished forest products, including logs, pulpwood, rough-sawn green lumber, biomass, or wood chips.

Under current law, there is an 80,000 pound overall gross vehicle weight limit for interstate highways, with exceptions. Virginia allows certain agricultural vehicles that do not exceed 90,000 pounds to travel on Virginia highways that are not part of the interstate highway system.

Physical Therapist Workforce and Patient Access Act of 2025

This bill expands certain health professional programs and Medicare covered services to include physical therapists.

Specifically, the bill expands the National Health Service Corps to include physical therapists and provides for the designation of specific health professional target areas for physical therapists under the program. The bill also expands covered services of rural health clinics and federally qualified health centers under Medicare to include physical therapy services.

The bill increases funds for FY2025 for the corps and requires a certain amount of funds to be used for student loan repayments for participating physical therapists in the National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program.

AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act of 2025

This bill requires the Department of Transportation (DOT) to issue a rule requiring AM radio capabilities to be standard in all new passenger vehicles. (AM radio is often used to deliver emergency alerts and news and entertainment programming; some newer vehicles do not include AM equipment.)

Specifically, this bill applies to passenger vehicles (1) manufactured in the United States for sale in the United States, imported into the United States, or shipped in interstate commerce; and (2) manufactured after the rule's effective date. The rule must require all such vehicles to have devices that can receive signals and play content transmitted by AM stations or digital audio AM stations installed as standard equipment and made easily accessible to drivers.

Prior to the rule's effective date, manufacturers that do not include devices that can access AM radio as standard equipment (1) must inform purchasers of this fact through clear and conspicuous labeling, and (2) may not charge an additional or separate fee for AM radio access.

DOT may assess civil penalties for any violation of the rule. The Department of Justice may also bring a civil action to enjoin a violation.

The rule, including DOT’s authority to enforce it, must expire 10 years after the bill’s enactment.

Further, the Government Accountability Office must study and report on the dissemination of emergency alerts to the public, including by conducting an assessment of AM radio relative to other Integrated Public Alert and Warning System communication technologies.

This resolution directs the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to continue its investigation into the federal government's investigation of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and to release to the public committee records relating to the committee's investigation, subject to limited exceptions.

Under the resolution, the committee records to be publicly disclosed include unclassified records referring or relating to Epstein's detention and death; flight logs of aircraft owned or used by Epstein; individuals named in connection with Epstein’s criminal activities, civil settlements, or immunity or plea agreements; immunity deals, sealed settlements, or plea bargains of Epstein or his associates; entities with ties to Epstein’s trafficking or financial networks; and internal Department of Justice communications concerning decisions to investigate or charge Epstein or his associates.

The resolution provides that the committee may withhold or redact portions of records with written justification that such portions contain (1) victims' personally identifiable information; (2) child sexual abuse materials; (3) images of death, physical abuse, or injury; (4) information which would jeopardize an active federal investigation or prosecution; or (5) classified information. The committee may not withhold or redact records on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity.

The resolution states support for the committee's subpoenas and investigatory actions and encourages timely compliance with them. Additionally, the committee shall issue investigative reports as it deems necessary.

Clean Air and Building Infrastructure Improvement Act

This bill requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to publish timely guidance related to regulations on national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) and exempts certain preconstruction permits from the 2024 fine particulate matter standard under the Clean Air Act.

First, the bill requires the EPA to concurrently publish final regulations and guidance on the implementation of the regulations when it publishes any final rule establishing or revising NAAQS. If the EPA fails to publish the final regulations and guidance for the new or revised NAAQS, the updated standard must not apply to the review and disposition of a preconstruction permit application until the EPA publishes the final regulations and guidance. (A preconstruction permit is a permit required under the Clean Air Act for the construction or modification of a stationary source and includes permits issued by the EPA or a state, local, or tribal permitting authority.)

Further, the bill exempts the review and disposition of preconstruction permit applications from the 2024 fine particulate matter standard if (1) an application is complete on or before the date the area involved is officially designated as a nonattainment, attainment, or unclassifiable area; or (2) the permitting authority publishes notice of a draft permit before the date that is 60 days after a final area designation is made.

Reliable Power Act

This bill directs the electric reliability organization (i.e., the North American Electric Reliability Corporation) to conduct annual long-term assessments of the reliability of electric power in the bulk-power system. It also establishes a process for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to review federal regulations before they are finalized if the electric reliability organization finds that the system is at risk of not having sufficient electric generation to maintain reliability.

If the electric reliability organization finds that the system does not have sufficient generation to maintain reliability, it must notify FERC that the bulk-power system is in a state of generation inadequacy. FERC must then notify the Department of Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency, and any other appropriate federal agencies of the generation inadequacy. Upon receiving the notice, the federal agency must provide proposed regulations that affect any generation resource in the bulk-power system to FERC for review and comment. If applicable, FERC must provide recommendations to modify the regulations. Federal agencies may not finalize such a regulation until FERC finds that it will not be likely to have a significant negative impact on the ability of the bulk-power system to supply sufficient electric energy necessary to maintain an adequate level of reliability.

National Coal Council Reestablishment Act

This bill provides statutory authority for the National Coal Council and directs the Department of Energy to reestablish the council in accordance with the charter that was in effect on November 19, 2021. Established in 1984, the council made recommendations to DOE on matters relating to coal and the coal industry.

In addition, the bill removes the requirement under the Federal Advisory Committee Act for the council to be re-chartered every two years.

Guaranteeing Reliability through the Interconnection of Dispatchable Power Act or the GRID Power Act

This bill requires the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to issue and periodically review a rule that revises the approval process for interconnection requests of generating units that produce electricity to prioritize dispatchable power projects (e.g., certain fossil fuel projects).

Under the bill, dispatchable power generally refers to an electric energy generation resource, such as a generating unit that produces electricity from fossil fuels, capable of providing known and forecastable electric supply in time intervals necessary to ensure grid reliability. Currently, FERC receives interconnection requests from those projects and other generating units, such as units that produce electricity from renewable energy. Interconnection requests are requests from generating units to connect to the high voltage transmission lines of the electric grid.

First, the rule must address the efficiency and effectiveness of the existing procedures for processing interconnection requests to ensure that new dispatchable power projects that improve grid reliability and resource adequacy can interconnect to the electric grid quickly, cost-effectively, and reliably.

Second, the rule must revise the pro forma Large Generator Interconnection Procedures, and the pro forma Large Generator Interconnection Agreement as appropriate, to authorize transmission providers to submit proposals to FERC to prioritize new dispatchable power projects that will improve grid reliability and resource adequacy by assigning those projects higher positions in the interconnection queue of the provider. FERC must review and approve or deny such proposals within 60 days after the proposal is submitted.

This joint resolution revokes the waiver granted to the California Air Resources Board regarding its Advanced Clean Cars II (ACC II) regulations, which include new requirements for low-emission vehicles and zero-emission vehicles. (Under the Clean Air Act, California may seek waivers of the preemption prohibiting states from enacting certain emission standards.)

Specifically, the joint resolution nullifies the Environmental Protection Agency notice titled California State Motor Vehicle and Engine Pollution Control Standards; Advanced Clean Cars II; Waiver of Preemption; Notice of Decision.

Alternatives to Prevent Addiction In the Nation Act or the Alternatives to PAIN Act

This bill reduces cost-sharing and prohibits the imposition of certain utilization requirements under the Medicare prescription drug benefit for certain non-opioid pain management drugs.

Specifically, the bill requires such drugs to be covered without a deductible and to be placed on the lowest cost-sharing tier (if any). The bill also prohibits the imposition of prior authorization requirements (i.e., requiring prior approval from a plan) or step therapy requirements (i.e., requiring the use of alternative drugs before a drug is covered under a plan) with respect to such drugs.

American Music Tourism Act of 2025

This bill directs the National Travel and Tourism Office (NTTO) of the Department of Commerce to promote tourism to music-related and sports attractions.

The bill requires NTTO to promote domestic and international travel and tourism to U.S. music festivals, concert venues, and other music-related attractions and locations. The bill also expands NTTO's current mandate to facilitate sports and recreation events and activities to include the promotion of international travel and tourism to such activities in the United States.

NTTO must report its activities and findings to Congress within one year after the bill's enactment and, thereafter, every two years.

Nuclear Medicine Clarification Act of 2025

This bill requires the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to revise its regulations so that health care providers must report to the NRC when a dose of a radioactive drug caused by an extravasation exceeds specified quantities. An extravasation generally means the unintentional presence of a radioactive drug in the tissue surrounding the blood vessel following an injection.

Under the NRC’s current regulations, health care providers licensed by the NRC to use radioactive materials must submit a report to the NRC for any instance, known as a medical event, where the administered dose of a radioactive drug exceeds specified quantities or criteria.

In 2024, the NRC published a draft proposed rule that would add an extravasation as a medical event that must be reported. The draft proposed rule’s reporting threshold is based on a physician’s determination that the administration results or may potentially result in a radiation injury from an extravasation. The reporting threshold proposed by the NRC does not contain a quantified dose.

The bill requires the NRC to revise its regulations to add an extravasation as a medical event that must be reported, and it additionally requires the reporting threshold to be based on quantified doses (as specified in the bill).

Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act

This bill allows, beginning in 2028, for Medicare coverage and payment for multi-cancer early detection screening tests that are approved by the Food and Drug Administration and that are used to screen for cancer across many cancer types, if the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services determines such coverage is appropriate. Coverage is limited to those under a certain age (age 68 in 2028, increased by one year every year thereafter) and to one test every 11 months.

Choice in Automobile Retail Sales Act of 2025

This bill limits the authority of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with regard to regulating emissions standards for new motor vehicles. Specifically, the EPA is prohibited from prescribing a regulation related to new motor vehicle emissions standards that (1) mandates the use of any specific technology, or (2) results in limited availability of new motor vehicles based on the type of new motor vehicle engine.
