This resolution expresses support for the designation of Earned Income Tax Credit Awareness Day. The resolution also calls for increasing awareness of (1) the earned income tax credit, which is refundable; (2) other refundable federal tax credits; and (3) free tax filing assistance.

This resolution requests that the President provide to the House of Representatives copies of any documents or other communications related to * ending application for Social Security benefits by phone; * closing or consolidating Social Security Administration (SSA) offices after March 12, 2025; or * reducing SSA staff after March 12, 2025.

This resolution requests that the President provide to the House of Representatives any document or communication related to interactions between the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and the Social Security Administration (SSA), any reduction in SSA staff or offices occurring in 2025, and other specified topics.  Specifically, the resolution requests all documents and communications that refer or relate to * access to or usage of SSA information technology systems by DOGE, Elon Musk, any member of his team, or any individual coordinating with DOGE; * visits to SSA offices by DOGE, Elon Musk, or any member of his team; * SSA compliance with specified executive orders issued by President Donald Trump (e.g., relating to diversity, equity, and inclusion policies); * the number of calls per day to the national toll-free telephone number maintained by SSA; * the number of calls and visits per day to SSA field offices and card centers; * the closure or consolidation of SSA offices in 2025; and * reductions in SSA staff in 2025.

This resolution requests that the President provide (and directs the Department of the Treasury to provide) to the House of Representatives all communication related to * access to or use of the Treasury payment system by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Elon Musk, or any member of his team; * access to or use of confidential tax returns or tax return information by DOGE, Elon Musk, or a member of his team; and * any screenshots taken of the data or records in the Treasury payment system by DOGE, Elon Musk, or a member of his team.

**Expanded Food Safety Investigation Act of** **2025** This bill provides that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may, under specified circumstances, request access to a concentrated animal-feeding operation (i.e., a stabled or confined animal-feeding operation of a specified size) to conduct microbial sampling. Specifically, the bill allows the FDA to request access if the FDA determines that sampling is necessary to facilitate an investigation of a foodborne-illness outbreak, determine the cause of an outbreak, or address other public health needs. Concentrated animal-feeding operations must provide reasonable access for sampling, including sampling of plants, animals, water, and the environment. The bill imposes penalties on operations that refuse to provide reasonable access.  Data collected in sampling efforts under this bill must be shared with the Department of Agriculture and state and federal public health agencies to facilitate the detection, investigation, and prevention of foodborne illness.

**Fire Information and Reaction Enhancement Act of 2025 or the FIRE Act of 2025** This bill establishes certain programs to improve wildfire forecasting and detection within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Specifically, NOAA is directed to establish one or more weather research testbeds with industry and academic partners. (Testbeds are collaborative spaces where researchers and forecasters work together to integrate new observation systems into models, test and streamline data assimilation methods, and otherwise improve weather products and services for the benefit of the public.) Further, NOAA is directed to establish an additional program to develop and extend accurate wildfire forecasts and warnings in order to reduce injury, loss of life, and property damage. Through this program, NOAA may develop, test, and deploy satellite detection, fuel moisture and danger assessments, and atmosphere and fire modeling, among other tools.
