H.R. 845 · Pet and Livestock Protection Act
Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.

**Pet and Livestock Protection Act of 2025** This bill directs the Department of the Interior to remove protections for the gray wolf under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA). Specifically, the bill requires Interior to reissue the final rule titled *Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Removing the Gray Wolf (Canis lupus) From the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife* and published on November 3, 2020. The rule removed the gray wolf in the lower 48 United States, except for the Mexican wolf (*C. l. baileyi*) subspecies, from the endangered and threatened species list. However, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California vacated the rule on February 10, 2022. As a result, the gray wolf reattained the protection status it had prior to the rule's promulgation. The bill also prohibits the reissuance of the rule from being subject to judicial review.

H.R. 810 · Personalized Care Act of 2025
Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.

**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.
