This bill would create a new tax credit for people buying a main home. Individuals could get $5,000, or couples filing jointly could get $10,000, to help with the cost of buying a principal residence. This credit would be available to those who haven't claimed it in the past four years and meet certain income limits.

This bill would require colleges that receive federal funding to meet new fire safety standards for student dorms. The Department of Education would create these standards and publicly rate campuses on their compliance, helping students and parents choose safer living environments.

This bill, called the "Drone Safety Enhancement Act," would make NASA and the FAA work together on research for drones and new types of air travel, like flying cars. This teamwork would also include other government agencies, universities, and private companies. The goal is to help the U.S. stay competitive in this fast-growing area of aviation.

This bill would make sure that financial help for prescription drugs, like from non-profits or drug makers, counts towards health insurance deductibles and out-of-pocket limits. This means individuals could reach their cost-sharing limits faster, potentially lowering their personal out-of-pocket costs. These changes would apply to plans starting on or after January 1, 2026.

It would let local bus and train services receive grants to cover costs if they serve Department of Veterans Affairs medical facilities OR are in urbanized areas with fewer than 200,000 people. This could mean more or better routes for veterans needing healthcare.
