Cybersecurity in Agriculture Act of 2025

This bill directs the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) to establish an agriculture cybersecurity program.

Under the program, NIFA must provide grants to or enter into cooperative agreements with eligible colleges or universities. These institutions must establish a network of five Regional Agriculture Cybersecurity Centers to carry out research, development, and education on agriculture cybersecurity related to seed agriculture, horticulture, animal agriculture, and the agriculture supply chain.

An eligible college or university must have programs in food and agriculture sciences and cybersecurity that coordinate regional industry partners, cooperatives, government authorities, and other stakeholders to (1) strengthen security, privacy, and resiliency; (2) bolster the independent networks; and (3) develop a skilled workforce.

The program must also establish a national network of such regional centers and designate one college or university to coordinate the national network's activities.

Harnessing Effective and Appropriate Long-Term Health for Moms On Medicaid Act of 2025 or the HEALTH for MOM Act of 2025

This bill allows state Medicaid programs to cover services that are provided by maternity health homes (designated providers or health teams that provide pregnancy and postpartum coordinated care services).

Participating maternity health homes must meet standards set by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), including the ability to coordinate prompt access to services, develop individualized care plans, provide supportive services, and coordinate with pediatric care providers. States must conduct outreach to providers, pregnant women, and other relevant stakeholders on the availability of such health homes and must report specified information relating to the implementation and outcomes of such services.

The CMS must award grants to states to develop plans for implementation. The bill also temporarily increases the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (i.e., federal matching rate) for maternity health home services.

This bill provides statutory authority for certain requirements related to registration statements submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

First, the bill allows under statute an emerging growth company to submit profit and loss statements from the previous two years, rather than the previous three years as is required of other reporting companies. In addition, the bill allows under statute any issuer of securities to submit a draft registration statement to the SEC for confidential review prior to a public filing.

This resolution establishes a point of order against considering budget reconciliation legislation in the House during the 119th Congress that (1) reduces enrollment or benefits for specified individuals enrolled in the Medicaid program, or (2) reduces eligibility or benefits for households that include specified individuals and participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

The individuals specified in the bill include individuals who are under the age of 19, individuals who are 65 or older, pregnant women, and individuals with a disability.

The point of order does not apply to any provision in reconciliation legislation that reduces improper payments, eliminates fraudulent billing, or enhances data verification to ensure eligibility for applicable benefits.

(Under current law, reconciliation bills are considered by Congress using expedited legislative procedures that prevent a filibuster and restrict amendments in the Senate.)

Guarding Unprotected Aging Retirees from Deception Act of 2026 or the GUARD Act of 2026

This bill allows state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies and grantees that receive funds from certain law enforcement grant programs to use the funds to investigate general financial fraud, elder financial fraud, and pig butchering. Pig butchering refers to a confidence and investment fraud in which a victim is gradually lured into transferring increasing amounts of money, generally in the form of cryptocurrency, into a fake virtual investment.

The bill allows federal law enforcement agencies to assist state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies and fusion centers in the use of tracing tools for blockchain and related technology tools.

Finally, the bill requires the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) to report on efforts to combat general financial fraud, elder financial fraud, pig butchering, and scams, including an evaluation of any legislative recommendations to improve the efforts. The bill also requires FinCEN to report on the state of general financial fraud, elder financial fraud, pig butchering, and scams in the United States, including trends in the crimes.

Daniel J. Harvey, Jr. and Adam Lambert Improving Servicemember Transition to Reduce Veteran Suicide Act

This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Department of Defense (DOD) to provide additional information and assistance related to mental health care to veterans in the Solid Start program and members of the Armed Forces in the Transition Assistance Program.

Specifically, the bill requires that counseling provided under DOD’s Transition Assistance Program include additional mental health information, including information about the risk of suicide and other potential stressors associated with separation from the Armed Forces.

The bill also expands the activities that must be carried out by the VA under the Solid Start program, which is an outreach program for veterans in their first year of separation from service. Specifically, under the program, the VA must (1) assist eligible veterans who elect to enroll in the VA health care system, and (2) educate veterans about mental health and counseling services available through the Veterans Health Administration.

Financial Technology Protection Act of 2025

This bill establishes the Independent Financial Technology Working Group to Combat Terrorism and Illicit Financing. The working group must study and report on terrorist and illicit use of digital assets and other related emerging technologies and develop proposals to improve anti-money laundering and counterterrorist financing efforts.

The working group terminates four years after the bill's enactment or after the working group completes any ongoing activities, whichever is later.

In addition, the Department of the Treasury must (1) report on the potential use of digital assets and other emerging technologies by states, nonstate actors, and terrorist groups for the purpose of evading sanctions to threaten the national security of the United States; and (2) describe a strategy to mitigate and prevent this usage.

Artificial Intelligence Practices, Logistics, Actions, and Necessities Act or the AI PLAN Act

This bill requires the Department of the Treasury, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Department of Commerce to submit a report on the risks posed by the use of artificial intelligence in the commission of financial crimes by adversarial actors.

The report must

• describe interagency, intergovernmental, and public-private partnership activities, policies, and procedures to defend U.S. interests against the national and economic security risks posed by the use of artificial intelligence in the commission of financial crimes;

• provide a list of readily available resources that can be immediately deployed by federal agencies to combat these risks, and

• provide a list of resources needed by federal agencies to combat these risks.

Risks that must be considered by the report include deepfakes, voice cloning, foreign election interference, synthetic identities, false flags that disrupt market operations, AI-supported social engineering, and general digital fraud.

After submission of this report, Treasury, DHS, and Commerce must make recommendations for legislation and best practices for businesses and government entities to address these risks.
