This resolution expresses strong opposition to any attempt by foreign entities, specifically citing the EU's Digital Services Act, to censor or penalize the constitutionally protected speech of United States persons. It finds that foreign regulations attempting to dictate content moderation on U.S. platforms undermine fundamental American free speech rights. The resolution commits the Senate to opposing such extraterritorial censorship and urges a firm response to any imposed penalties.

This Act authorizes the conveyance of approximately 24 acres of specified Federal land within the Dixie National Forest to the Town of Brian Head, Utah, at no cost.

Following the conveyance, the Secretary must update the official boundary of the Dixie National Forest to exclude the transferred parcel.

The Auto Data Privacy and Autonomy Act establishes strict rules for vehicle manufacturers regarding the collection, use, and sharing of data generated by covered vehicles. It mandates that manufacturers must obtain explicit, purpose-specific consent from owners or users before accessing or sharing this data.

This bill officially renames the United States Postal Service facility located at 50 East 100 North in Moab, Utah. The facility will henceforth be known as the "2nd Lieutenant Mitch Williams Post Office." This designation will apply to all current and future federal references to the building.

This bill, the D.C. Shield Law Repeal Act, proposes to repeal the Human Rights Sanctuary Amendment Act of 2022. By doing so, it effectively nullifies the changes made by the 2022 Act and restores previous laws to their prior status.

The Streamline Transit Projects Act allows large urban transit agencies to assume federal responsibilities for environmental reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for routine projects. Qualified agencies can take over making "categorical exclusion" determinations for designated activities, provided they meet capacity requirements and enter into a formal agreement with the Secretary of Transportation. This reform aims to speed up project delivery by streamlining the environmental compliance process for eligible transit improvements.

The UNtaxed Act prohibits the United Nations and its affiliates from imposing taxes, tariffs, or fees on U.S. citizens or entities, unless authorized by a Senate-approved treaty. This legislation also bans the use of U.S. funds to support the implementation or contributions toward a global carbon tax. A global carbon tax is specifically defined as a levy based on greenhouse gas emissions from vessels.

The Gold Reserve Transparency Act of 2025 mandates regular, independent audits of all U.S. gold reserves to verify inventory, assay purity, and review past transactions. It requires the Treasury Department to upgrade the quality of the nation's gold holdings to meet current "good delivery" standards within five years. All audit findings, with limited security redactions, must be made publicly available online.

The Flight Risk Reduction Act amends federal law to establish a new presumption against pretrial release for non-citizens who are not lawful permanent residents. This change mandates a detention hearing for these individuals and requires courts to presume detention is necessary. Crucially, defendants cannot use ties to family or employment in the U.S. to overcome this presumption.

The Increase Support for Life-saving Endocrine Transplantation Act (ISLET Act) clarifies that human cadaveric islets are specifically excluded from the regulatory definitions of "drug," "biological product," and HCTPs. This action aims to streamline the process for life-saving endocrine transplantation procedures. The Secretary of HHS is required to update relevant regulations within one year of enactment.

The Safer Supervision Act of 2025 aims to reform federal supervised release by requiring individualized assessments before imposing supervision and establishing a presumption for early termination based on compliance. The bill also mandates a report on providing law enforcement availability pay to probation officers and allows certain prisoners without supervision terms to apply earned time credits for early release. Finally, it directs the GAO to study federal post-release supervision practices and workforce needs.

The Fair Air Enforcement Act of 2025 focuses on making extensive technical changes to the Clean Air Act. This bill primarily achieves this by completely repealing Section 304 of the Act. It also includes numerous conforming amendments across various sections of the Clean Air Act and the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act of 2020 to remove all references to the repealed section.

The Upper Price River Watershed Project Act of 2025 authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to convey approximately 124.23 acres of specified Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land to the City of Price, Utah. This transfer is explicitly for the City's use for defined public purposes, overriding standard land disposal regulations. The conveyance is contingent upon a request from the City and is subject to any existing legal rights on the property.

This bill authorizes the use of off-highway vehicles (OHVs) on specific, named roads within the boundaries of Capitol Reef National Park in Utah. For travel on these designated "covered roads," the bill mandates that users must adhere to Utah state vehicle laws rather than standard federal park regulations. This action specifically permits OHV use on routes like the Burr Trail Road and Notom Bullfrog Road within the park.

This bill amends federal law to explicitly state that state traffic laws apply to the use of motor vehicles on roads managed by the National Park Service within a System unit. Consequently, visitors driving within these areas must adhere to the traffic regulations, such as speed limits, established by the surrounding state. Violations of these state traffic laws within the park boundaries will now be enforceable.

The Outdoor Americans with Disabilities Act prioritizes updating travel management plans on public lands to ensure access for motorized and off-road vehicles. It mandates that federal agencies map and maintain vehicle routes, specifically protecting access in areas designated as "disability-accessible land." The bill establishes strict criteria for closing roads, generally prohibiting closures that reduce overall motorized access unless safety is directly threatened. Furthermore, any road closed under these provisions must be replaced with an appropriate alternative route within one year.

The Border Lands Conservation Act focuses on enhancing border security and managing federal lands adjacent to the U.S. borders with Canada and Mexico. It mandates infrastructure improvements, allows for increased access to wilderness areas for security operations, and establishes a new initiative to manage hazardous fuels near the border. Furthermore, the Act requires extensive reporting on environmental damage caused by illegal immigration and prohibits using federal funds to house undocumented immigrants on most federal lands.

The Safe Transit Accountability Act clarifies the chain of command for public transit safety decisions by designating the agency's "accountable executive" as the final decision-maker. This executive will resolve disagreements within the Safety Committee and has ultimate responsibility for implementing safety and asset management plans. This ensures a single, clearly identified leader is accountable for transit safety outcomes.

The Charlie Kirk Act modifies how the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) disseminates information about the United States overseas, generally prohibiting its distribution within the U.S. This legislation establishes a 12-year delay before materials shared abroad can be made available domestically through the Archivist of the United States. Furthermore, the bill reinforces restrictions on using USAGM funds for domestic influence activities.
