The "Safe Routes Act of 2025" temporarily waives federal weight limits on Interstate highways for logging vehicles transporting raw forest products within a 150-mile radius. This exemption applies only where vehicles comply with existing state weight regulations.

The "Unplug the Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Program Act" eliminates grant programs for charging and fueling infrastructure, specifically repealing the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program. This includes rescinding unspent funds and terminating the program entirely upon enactment. The bill amends sections of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and title 23 of the United States Code to remove references to the grant programs.

The SPEAR Act of 2025 amends the Endangered Species Act of 1973 to ensure that lake sturgeon populations in Wisconsin cannot be listed as threatened or endangered. This bill prohibits the Secretary from making any determination that would grant protected status to Wisconsin's lake sturgeon populations under the Endangered Species Act.
