CBP SPACE Act

United States · United States Congress · 10 July 2025

CBP SPACE Act This bill expands the authorities for adjusting the rate for merchandise processing fees and the requirements for using certain customs user fees. It also prohibits U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) from requiring sea ports of entry to provide or maintain certain facilities for CBP inspection services. Specifically, the bill authorizes the Department of the Treasury to adjust the ad valorem rate for merchandise processing and the related limits on the amount of the fees to offset CBP's capital costs for processing entries and releases of merchandise. (Currently, Treasury may only adjust the rate and limits to offset CBP's related salaries and expenses.) The bill also requires Treasury to use certain customs user fees to reimburse CBP for paying capital costs associated with passenger inspection services. Additionally, the bill (1) prohibits CBP from requesting or requiring a sea port of entry to provide or maintain administrative, training, or recreational facilities at the port for purposes of facilitating CBP's inspection services; and (2) requires CBP to submit an annual report to appropriate congressional committees on the amount and use of proceeds from merchandise processing fees.

Ruthie and Connie LGBTQI Elder Americans Act of 2025

United States · United States Congress · 26 June 2025

Ruthie and Connie LGBTQI Elder Americans Act of 2025 This bill makes changes to federal programs serving older individuals to facilitate care for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI) individuals. Under current law, certain services provided to older individuals must be targeted to populations with the greatest social need . The bill adds status as an LGBTQI individual and status as an individual living with HIV as factors contributing to greatest social need. The bill also explicitly allows grants that support the health, independence, and longevity of older individuals to be used for certain activities promoting services for individuals with the greatest social need. The bill establishes an Office of LGBTQI Inclusion within the Administration on Aging (AOA). The office must promote access to services for LGBTQI older individuals and coordinate related activities within the Department of Health and Human Services and among other federal entities. The bill also provides statutory authority for a national resource center on LGBTQI aging. The center must provide organizations that serve older individuals or LGBTQI individuals with information and technical assistance needed to effectively serve LGBTQI older individuals. Finally, the bill requires certain studies and reports on issues affecting LGBTQI older individuals. Specifically, state long-term care ombudsmen must collect and analyze data on discrimination against LGBTQI older individuals in long-term care settings. Further, the AOA must study the services needed by LGBTQI older individuals and collect data on the number of such individuals served by various services and activities.

Women’s Health Protection Act of 2025

United States · United States Congress · 24 June 2025

Women's Health Protection Act of 2025 This bill prohibits governmental restrictions on the provision of, and access to, abortion services. Before fetal viability, governments may not restrict providers from using particular abortion procedures or drugs, offering abortion services via telemedicine, or immediately providing abortion services if delaying risks the patient's health. Furthermore, governments may not require providers to perform unnecessary medical procedures, provide medically inaccurate information, or comply with credentialing or other conditions that do not apply to providers who offer medically comparable services to abortions. Additionally, governments may not require patients to make medically unnecessary in-person visits before receiving abortion services or disclose their reasons for obtaining services. After fetal viability, governments may not restrict providers from performing abortions when necessary to protect a patient's life and health. The same provisions that apply to abortions before viability also apply to necessary abortions after viability. Additionally, states may authorize post-viability abortions in circumstances beyond those that the bill considers necessary. Further, the bill recognizes an individual's right to interstate travel, including for abortion services. The bill also prohibits governments from implementing measures that are similar to those restricted by the bill or that otherwise target and impede access to abortion services, unless the measure significantly advances the safety of abortion services or health of patients and cannot be achieved through less restrictive means. The Department of Justice, individuals, or providers may sue states or government officials to enforce this bill, regardless of certain immunity that would otherwise apply.
