**No Contracts with Foreign Adversaries Act** This bill prohibits institutions of higher education (IHEs) from entering into contracts with a foreign country of concern (e.g., North Korea, China, Russia, or Iran) or with a foreign entity of concern (e.g., a foreign entity that is owned or controlled by North Korea, China, Russia, or Iran) without obtaining a waiver. The bill outlines the process by which an IHE may receive a waiver from the Department of Education (ED) to enter into a contract with a foreign country of concern or with a foreign entity of concern. Specifically, an IHE that desires to enter into such a contract may submit to ED, not later than 120 days before the IHE enters into such a contract, a request to waive the prohibition with respect to the contract. Generally, a waiver issued under this bill shall only waive the prohibition for a one-year period (subject to renewals). Additionally, the bill requires ED to notify Congress of the intent to issue a waiver, including a justification for the waiver. The bill also requires an IHE that has already entered into a contract prior to the bill's enactment to submit a waiver request to ED within 30 days of the bill's enactment. The bill requires ED to investigate possible violations of this bill and outlines the various penalties for each violation. Penalties may include losing eligibility for federal student financial aid.

**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.

**No Regulation Through Litigation Act of 2025** This bill specifies that a federal agency may not enter into a consent decree that exceeds the authority of the court that enters the order related to the decree. It also limits the inclusion of attorney fees or litigation costs in consent decrees or settlement agreements that result in a regulation or guidance document.

**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.

****Parental Notification and Intervention Act of 2025**** This bill restricts the performance of an abortion on an unemancipated minor under 18 years of age. Specifically, it prohibits a person or organization from performing, facilitating, or assisting with an abortion on an unemancipated minor without first complying with certain requirements, including parental notification and a 96-hour waiting period. It establishes penalties—a fine, up to one year in prison, or both—for each willful violation. A parent who is required to be notified of an abortion of an unemancipated minor may sue in federal court to prohibit the abortion. Parental notification requirements may be waived in a medical emergency or in a case of physical abuse.

**Dignity for Aborted Children Act** This bill establishes requirements for abortion providers with respect to the disposal of human fetal tissue from an abortion. Specifically, it requires abortion providers to obtain a patient's informed consent for one of two specified methods of disposition and to retain the corresponding documentation in the patient's file. First, patients may choose to retain possession of the tissue. A patient may choose to transfer the tissue to an entity that provides interment or cremation services. Second, patients may choose to release the tissue to the provider. Providers must ensure any tissue released to them is interred or cremated within seven days of the procedure in a manner consistent with state law regarding the disposal of human remains. Abortion providers must submit reports annually to the Department of Health and Human Services about these requirements and other specified information. The bill establishes civil penalties for violations of the requirement to retain documentation of informed consent, and it establishes criminal penalties for violations of the requirement regarding the disposal of human fetal tissue.
