This bill would officially rename the United States Post Office at 4640 Cass Street in San Diego, California. If passed, the building would be known as the 'Mary Wilding Memorial Post Office Building'. This means all official records and local residents would refer to the post office by its new memorial name.

This bill would let property owners avoid or delay paying capital gains taxes if they sell real estate to groups building affordable housing. The properties would need to stay affordable for at least 30 years.

This bill would create a Chief Resilience Officer within the National Security Council to coordinate how the government prepares for and responds to natural hazards. It would also set up groups to get advice from state and local leaders, businesses, and non-profits. The goal is to make communities, including rural and underresourced ones, safer from a wide range of natural hazards, such as wildfires, floods, extreme weather, sea level rise, and desertification.

This bill would change the rules for the 340B drug discount program, which helps certain hospitals and clinics buy medicines at lower prices. It would make sure more of these savings reach patients through financial assistance and clear pricing. The bill also adds new ways to track drug discounts and prevent fraud, while stopping health plans from discriminating against these hospitals and pharmacies.

This bill would make it faster and more certain to get federal permits and approvals for various projects, especially infrastructure. It would set strict deadlines for federal agencies to review applications and environmental studies. It would also make it harder for agencies to revoke approvals once they are granted, aiming to reduce delays and provide more stability for project developers.

This bill would give the Homeland Security Secretary new power to shift money within the department during a government shutdown. This could help keep some operations going. However, this money could not be used for new hires. It also could not be sent to offices like U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Right now, a rule stops some veterans from getting help from both VA job training and VA education programs at the same time. This bill would remove that rule. This means more veterans could get support for both their education and job readiness needs without having to choose one over the other.

This bill would make sure Medicaid pays for advanced genetic tests, called whole genome and whole exome sequencing, for children with suspected genetic problems or rare diseases. This means families wouldn't have to worry about the cost of these important diagnostic tools, helping kids get faster answers and more targeted care. These changes would take effect starting January 1, 2027.
