The "Youth Poisoning Protection Act" bans consumer products containing high concentrations (10% or more by weight) of sodium nitrite, classifying them as hazardous under the Consumer Product Safety Act. This ban does not apply to industrial, commercial, or agricultural uses of sodium nitrite, or products regulated as drugs, devices, cosmetics, or food under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The act will take effect 90 days after enactment.

This bill designates April 17, 2025, as "Cambodian Genocide Remembrance Day" to honor the almost 2,000,000 Cambodian people murdered by the Khmer Rouge regime. It expresses support for the Cambodian people's pursuit of democracy and encourages reflection on the genocide's history, requesting the President to issue a proclamation for its observance.

The DELETE Act requires data brokers to register with the FTC and delete individuals' personal information upon request through a centralized FTC system. Data brokers must comply with deletion requests, report completion rates, and undergo regular audits, with the FTC having enforcement authority and the ability to charge subscription fees. The FTC will also study the Act's implementation and report to Congress, while the Act preempts inconsistent state laws but allows for stronger state protections.

The TLDR Act requires the FTC to create rules for online services and websites to provide short, easy-to-understand summaries of their terms of service, including data flow diagrams and information on data breaches. These summaries must highlight key aspects like data usage, user liabilities, and data deletion options. The FTC will enforce these rules, and state attorneys general can also sue on behalf of residents. This act aims to increase transparency and readability of online terms of service for consumers.

The "Accelerating Kids Access to Care Act of 2025" streamlines the enrollment process for out-of-state healthcare providers in Medicaid and CHIP, ensuring children under 21 have access to care from eligible providers across state lines. By reducing administrative burdens and unnecessary screening requirements, the Act aims to improve healthcare access for children while maintaining necessary safeguards against fraud and abuse. Participating providers will be enrolled for a 5-year period, and the changes will take effect three years after the Act's enactment.
