This bill would change tax rules to make it more difficult for U.S. companies to avoid paying U.S. taxes by reincorporating in a foreign country. It would expand the definition of a company that is treated as American for tax purposes, even if it's technically based overseas. These changes would apply to tax years going back to May 8, 2014.

This bill would stop U.S. companies and their foreign branches from providing equipment and services to Russia's oil and gas sector. It would also impose sanctions on foreign companies that continue to help Russia's energy industry by freezing their assets and blocking their travel to the U.S.

The U.S. currently bans direct imports of Russian oil. This bill would close a loophole by banning energy products made from Russian crude oil, even if they were refined in another country. This would mean fewer products linked to Russian oil could be sold in the U.S.

This bill would require Medicare Advantage plans to pay doctors and hospitals at least as much as original Medicare. It would also set deadlines for plans to pay providers, adding interest for late payments.

This bill would make Medicare Advantage and prescription drug plans pay the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for health care given to veterans enrolled in those plans. It would also give the VA stronger tools to get money back from other insurers and responsible parties for veterans' non-service-connected care. This aims to help the VA recover more costs for the care it provides.

This bill would expand the rules that stop publicly traded companies from deducting executive pay over $1 million from their taxes. This means more companies and a wider group of high-paid people, including some former executives, would face these limits. The goal is to reduce tax breaks for large executive bonuses, starting with taxable years after December 31, 2024.

This bill would make Federal Pell Grants completely tax-free for students, no matter how they use the money. It would also let taxpayers claim more expenses, like computers and child care, when applying for education tax credits, starting in 2025.

This bill would change Medicare rules to add coverage for dental, vision, and hearing services. This means seniors and people with disabilities on Medicare would get help paying for things like routine eye exams, cleanings, fillings, dentures, eyeglasses, contact lenses, and hearing aids. These new benefits would start taking effect on January 1, 2026.

This bill, called the Farewell to Foam Act, would stop the sale and distribution of foam food containers, packing peanuts, and foam coolers across the country. Starting in 2028, businesses like restaurants and stores would need to use other materials, and consumers would see fewer foam products. Businesses that do not follow the rules would first get a warning, then face fines for repeated violations.
