Child Care Access Means Parents In Schools Reauthorization Act or the CCAMPIS Reauthorization Act

This bill reauthorizes through FY2031 and revises the Child Care Access Means Parents in School Program. The program awards grants to support the participation of eligible low-income parents in postsecondary education through the provision of campus-based child care services.

Among other revisions to the program, the bill increases the minimum and maximum grant amounts, allows grant funds to be used for additional purposes (e.g., child care subsidies and support services), and specifies additional grant application requirements.

Protect America's Workforce Act

This bill nullifies two executive orders: Exclusions from Federal Labor-Management Relations Programs (issued on March 27, 2025) and Further Exclusions From the Federal Labor- Management Relations Program (issued on August 28, 2025). The executive orders exclude specified executive branch agencies and subdivisions from the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute and the Foreign Service Labor-Management Relations Statute. The statutes authorize federal employees' participation in collective bargaining and enforce collective bargaining rights.

The bill also specifies that a collective bargaining agreement that is in place as of March 26, 2025, and is between an executive branch agency and any labor organization that is an exclusive representative of federal employees, shall have full force and effect through the stated term of the agreement.

This resolution supports the designation of November 16, 2025, as National Warrior Call Day and encourages individuals to engage with warriors (i.e., members of the Armed Forces and veterans) to connect and provide support.

This resolution

• designates September 2025 as National Voting Rights Month,

• encourages people to uphold the right to vote,

• encourages Congress to pass certain voting rights legislation,

• recommends the development of a curriculum in public schools and universities regarding voting,

• expresses appreciation for the U.S. Postal Service having issued a special Representative John R. Lewis stamp, and

• invites Congress to allocate funds for public service announcements regarding elections.

Fertilizer Research Act of 2025

This bill directs the Department of Agriculture to publish on the department's website a report on the U.S. fertilizer industry. Among other things, the report must include

• a description of the impacts on the fertilizer industry that influence the prices that agricultural producers receive for their products;

• a description of the size and value of the U.S. fertilizer market over the previous 25 years;

• a description of the importation of fertilizer into the United States and the impacts that antidumping and countervailing duties have on retail fertilizer prices;

• a study of market concentration of the U.S. fertilizer industry;

• an assessment of the regulatory environment governing fertilizer production, distribution, and usage; and

• a description of the extent to which current public price reporting of fertilizer is transparent for market participants and recommendations on whether further reporting is needed.

Forced Arbitration Injustice Repeal Act

This bill prohibits a predispute arbitration agreement from being valid or enforceable if it requires arbitration of an employment, consumer, antitrust, or civil rights dispute.

Child Care Nutrition Enhancement Act of 2025

This bill increases and modifies reimbursements for meals and snacks served under the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).

CACFP is a Food and Nutrition Service program that provides federal reimbursements for meals and snacks provided to eligible children and adults who are enrolled at participating child care centers, day care homes (i.e., private homes that provide nonresidential child care services), and adult day care centers.

Specifically, the bill eliminates the two-tiered system for CACFP reimbursement rates for day care homes and generally makes all day care homes eligible for the same reimbursement rates. Under current law, day care homes located in a low-income area or with a low-income provider receive higher reimbursement rates (i.e., Tier I rates). Day care homes that do not qualify for Tier I rates receive Tier II rates, which are lower.

Further, the bill provides an additional 10-cent reimbursement for each eligible meal and snack served in the CACFP.

The bill also allows the provider of a family or group day care home to serve reimbursable meals and snacks to their own children when serving meals and snacks to children in their care. Specifically, the bill eliminates the current requirement that the child of a day care home provider meet the program's income eligibility requirement in order for the day care provider to receive reimbursement for the meals and snacks served to their child.

Expanding the Voluntary Opportunities for Translations in Elections Act or the Expanding the VOTE Act

This bill expands access to voting materials for individuals with limited proficiency in the English language.

Section 203 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA) requires covered states and political subdivisions to provide voting materials and other language assistance to persons who are American Indian, Asian American, Alaskan Natives, or of Spanish heritage and whose ability to speak or understand English limits electoral participation. A state or political subdivision that is subject to Section 203 is prohibited from providing English-only voting materials in an election. Among other requirements, this bill (1) requires the Department of Justice to issue a notice of prohibition, including the trigger threshold at which the prohibition applies, to certain states and political subdivisions; and (2) requires covered states and political subdivisions to provide written translations of all voting materials, with the consent of any applicable tribal government, to election workers.

Additionally, the bill requires the Election Assistance Commission to make incentive grants for states and political subdivisions to provide translated voting materials.

The bill also directs the Government Accountability Office to study and report on the impact of (1) reducing the threshold requirement under Section 203 of the VRA, and (2) expanding the definition of language minorities to include native speakers of additional languages.
