The National Nursing Workforce Center Act of 2025 aims to address nursing shortages by creating and supporting state-based nursing workforce centers through a pilot program. These centers will analyze workforce data, research nursing programs, and implement strategies to recruit, retain, and support nurses. The Act prioritizes equitable distribution of grants across geographical regions and encourages public-private partnerships. Additionally, it expands existing health workforce analysis programs to include specific support for the nursing workforce and mandates collaboration with nursing workforce centers.

The "Housing Supply Frameworks Act" directs the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to develop guidelines and best practices for state and local zoning frameworks to support increased housing production and affordability. These guidelines will address issues like reducing parking minimums, increasing building heights, eliminating restrictions on accessory dwelling units, and streamlining development approvals. The Act also requires a report to Congress on the adoption and impact of these guidelines and abolishes the Regulatory Barriers Clearinghouse. Finally, the act authorizes $3 million in appropriations to the Secretary to carry out the act for each of the fiscal years 2026 through 2030.
