This resolution expresses (1) the sense of the House of Representatives that the sermon given at the National Prayer Service on January 21st, 2025, at the National Cathedral was a display of political activism, and (2) that the House condemns the message of Right Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde.

This resolution provides a special rule for consideration of H.R. 185 and amends that bill to direct the Department of Justice (DOJ) to make publicly available certain records related to Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell. Under H.R. 185, as amended by the resolution, DOJ must publicly disclose all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in its possession that relate to Epstein or Maxwell. The records 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.  However, under the amended bill, DOJ 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. DOJ may not withhold or redact records on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity. Further, within 15 days of completing the required disclosures, DOJ must provide Congress with a report listing all categories of records released and withheld, all redactions made and their legal basis, and all government officials and politically exposed persons named or referenced in the released materials.

This resolution censures Representative Al Green.

**Jeremy and Angel Seay and Sergeant Brandon Mendoza Protect Our Communities from DUIs Act of 2025** This bill makes driving while intoxicated or impaired a ground for (1) barring a non-U.S. national (*alien* under federal law) from admission into the United States, or (2) deporting the individual. The bar to admission shall apply to an individual who has been convicted of the offense or has admitted to having committed the acts which constitute the elements of the offense. As a ground for deportability, the individual must have been convicted of the offense.

**Personalized Care Act of** **2025** This bill expands health saving account (HSA) eligibility, increases HSA contribution limits, and makes other HSA-related changes. The bill also expands the definition of medical care for purposes of the itemized tax deduction for unreimbursed medical expenses. The bill eliminates the requirement that an individual must be covered by a high-deductible health plan to establish and contribute to an HSA. Under the bill, an *eligible individual* is defined as (1) a health care sharing ministry participant, or (2) individual covered under * a group or individual health plan; * health insurance (including a short-term limited duration and medical indemnity plan); or * a government plan (including Medicare Part A and B, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, certain military and government employee health benefit programs, and the Indian Health Service and tribal organization programs). The bill increases annual HSA contribution limits to $10,800 (from $4,300 in 2025) for self-only coverage and $29,500 (from $8,550 in 2025) for family coverage, adjusted annually for inflation. The bill expands the qualified medical expenses that may be paid for with HSA distributions to include health insurance payments (e.g., premiums), direct care fees, and certain amounts paid by health care sharing ministry participants. The bill decreases the penalty to 10% (from 20%) for nonqualified HSA distributions.  Finally, under the bill, direct care fees and fees paid for membership in a health care sharing ministry qualify as medical care for purposes of the itemized tax deduction for unreimbursed medical expenses.

**Securing America's Land from Foreign Interference Act** This bill requires the President to take actions as necessary to prohibit members of the Chinese Communist Party (and entities owned, controlled, or influenced by the party) from purchasing real estate located in the United States, U.S. territories, or U.S. possessions.

**Achieving Choice in Education Act or the ACE Act** This bill expands the expenses that may be paid for with tax-free distributions from a qualified tuition program (known as a 529 plan) to include certain elementary, secondary, and homeschool education expenses and makes other changes related to 529 plans. The bill also limits the tax exclusion for interest on state or local bonds. Under current law, 529 plan distributions are excluded from gross income if they are used to pay for qualified higher education expenses, which includes up to $10,000 (per year and per beneficiary) for tuition at an elementary or secondary public, private, or religious school. The bill expands the expenses that may be paid for with tax-free 529 plan distributions to include homeschooling tuition and the following expenses related to elementary, secondary, and homeschool education: * curriculum, * books, * instructional and online educational materials, * tutoring or educational classes outside the home, * testing fees, * fees for dual enrollment in a higher education institution, and * educational therapies for disabled students. The bill also increases the amount of tax-free 529 plan distributions that may be used to pay for elementary, secondary, and homeschool education expenses to $20,000. The bill increases the annual gift tax exclusion by $20,000 for contributions made to a 529 plan. (Under current law, up to $19,000 may be excluded from taxable gifts in 2025.) Finally, the bill limits the tax exclusion for interest on state or local bonds to bonds issued by states that meet minimum school choice requirements or political subdivisions of such states.

**Freedom for Families Act** This bill allows individuals to establish and contribute to a health savings account (HSA) without being enrolled in a high-deductible health plan (HDHP), increases HSA contribution limits, and allows tax-free distributions from an HSA during a period of qualified caregiving. Under current law, individuals may establish and contribute to an HSA if they are covered under an HSA-eligible HDHP. For 2025, HSA contributions are limited to $4,300 for self-only coverage or $8,550 for family coverage (adjusted annually). Individuals who are at least 55 years old may make an additional HSA contribution of up to $1,000 per year. Further, under current law, HSA distributions are tax-free if used to pay for qualified medical expenses.  The bill eliminates the HDHP coverage requirement for purposes of an HSA. The bill also increases the HSA annual contribution limit to $9,000 for individuals or $18,000 for joint filers (adjusted annually) and eliminates the additional contribution for individuals who are at least 55 years old. Finally, the bill excludes HSA distributions during a period of qualified caregiving from gross income. The bill defines *period of qualified caregiving* as any period during which an individual is on leave or not employed due to * the birth or adoption of a child; * placement of a foster child; * caring for a family member with a serious health condition; * an inability to work due to a serious health condition; or * certain emergencies related to a spouse, child, or parent on covered active duty with the Armed Forces.
