SAFEGUARDS Act of 2025

United States · United States Congress · 22 July 2025

Spending Aviation Fees for Equipment, Guaranteeing Upgraded and Advanced Risk Detection and Safety Act of 2025 or the SAFEGUARDS Act of 2025 This bill allocates additional funding for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for aviation security, including checked baggage explosives detection equipment and security checkpoint technology. As background, TSA collects passenger civil aviation security service fees (often referred to as the 9/11 security fee or passenger security fee) on air carrier passengers originating at airports in the United States. In general, these fees are deposited into the Department of the Treasury general fund and applied towards debt reduction. A portion of these fees are allocated to TSA for aviation security. The bill requires that the first $500 million collected in each fiscal year from passenger security fees be deposited into the Aviation Security Capital Fund. This is an increase from the currently required $250 million. This fund provides for the costs associated with acquiring and installing in-line baggage screening systems (i.e., systems that use a conveyor belt infrastructure to automatically screen, sort, and track baggage) to accommodate checked baggage explosives detection equipment and for certain other airport security improvements. The bill also requires that the next $250 million collected in each fiscal year from passenger security fees be deposited into a new Aviation Security Checkpoint Technology Fund for the costs associated with acquiring, deploying, and sustaining aviation security checkpoint and exit lane technology. TSA may use these funds retroactively for projects implemented on or after January 1, 2023.

Covered platforms are online platforms, video games, messaging applications, or video streaming services used or likely to be used by individuals under the age of 17, with specified exceptions.  The bill generally requires covered platforms to exercise reasonable care in the design and use of features that increase minors’ online activity in order to prevent and mitigate harm to minors (e.g., mental health disorders and severe harassment).   Covered platforms are also required to provide certain safeguards to minors, such as protections for minors’ data; tools for parents of minors, such as access to minors’ privacy settings; and a mechanism for account holders and visitors to report harm to minors on the platform.  Covered platforms are prohibited from conducting market or product research on children under the age of 13, and may only conduct such research on those under the age of 17 with parental consent.  The bill provides for enforcement through the Federal Trade Commission and states.  The bill also requires online platforms to meet certain requirements before using algorithms that select, order, or prioritize information presented to users based on user-specific data not provided for that purpose. Specifically, such platforms must (1) provide users with notice of the use of such algorithms, and (2) permit users to switch to an algorithm that does not rely on such user-specific data.

Dismantling Ideological Policies for Semiconductors and Science Act

United States · United States Congress · 13 May 2025

Dismantling Ideological Policies for Semiconductors and Science Act This bill repeals requirements and eliminates positions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in various federal programs and offices focused on science. Each of the repealed provisions was originally included in the CHIPS and Science Act. Among other modifications, the bill repeals a provision authorizing the National Institute for Standards and Technology to conduct outreach to and develop research collaborations with historically Black colleges and universities, tribal colleges and universities, and other minority-serving institutions; eliminates the position of Chief Diversity Officer within the National Science Foundation (NSF); repeals an NSF grant program to enable institutions of higher education and nonprofit organizations to increase the participation of women and underrepresented minorities in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) studies and careers; and eliminates references to diversity in the purposes and responsibilities of the Office of STEM Engagement within the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The bill also prohibits executive branch agencies from requiring entities seeking federal funding to have certain policies in place, unless such a requirement is imposed by a federal statute. Such policies include those related to hiring, training, and retaining a diverse workforce; providing childcare for employees; minimizing adverse impacts on the environment and local communities; and consultation with labor organizations. (On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued an executive order titled Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing , which directed the termination of all federal DEI programs, offices, and positions, including Chief Diversity Officer positions.)

A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to modify the railroad track maintenance credit.

United States · United States Congress · 30 April 2025

This bill increases the annual limit on the tax credit for qualified railroad track maintenance expenses (also referred to as the short line railroad tax credit) and expands eligibility for claiming the credit. Under current law, the tax credit is limited each tax year to $3,500 multiplied by the sum of the number of miles of railroad track owned or leased by the taxpayer (miles owned or leased) and the number of railroad track miles assigned to the taxpayer by a Class II or III railroad (miles assigned). This bill increases the annual limit to $6,100 multiplied by the sum of miles owned or leased and miles assigned. The $6,100 amount used in the calculation of the tax credit limit is adjusted for inflation for tax years beginning after 2025. The bill also expands eligibility for the tax credit to include gross expenses for maintaining railroad tracks owned or leased as of January 1, 2024. Under current law, the tax credit is limited to gross expenses for maintaining railroad tracks owned or leased as of January 1, 2015.
