6,299 | 8,392 | H.R.5145 | Environmental Protection | This bill requires the Department of the Interior to establish a grant program for plant genetics and genomics research related to (1) making riparian forests (e.g., forests on river banks) become more resilient to climate change and invasive species; and (2) providing critical habitat for animals and plants that are suffering from lost, degraded, or threatened habitat. | To authorize new grants for research into riparian forest genetics and
climate adaptation.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that--
(1) because most native plant species are genetically
adapted to their local environment, climate change and invasive
species result in plants no longer being locally adapted;
(2) to promote restoration success, a network of integrated
field trials (also known as provenance trials or common
gardens) is crucial to determine which populations of dominant
plants can survive current and projected future conditions,
which in turn will enable the development of precision models
to forecast climate change impacts on key native riparian
forest species and the species that depend upon them for their
survival; and
(3) riparian systems are integral to and essential to
wetland health and preservation, research into, and efforts to
restore and protect the health of riparian ecosystems is
essential.
SEC. 2. RESEARCH GRANTS FOR PROJECTS RELATED TO RIPARIAN FOREST
GENETICS AND CLIMATE ADAPTATION.
The Secretary of the Interior shall establish a grant program for
eligible entities to carry out projects that involve long-term research
into plant genetics and genomics to make riparian forests and streams
more resilient to climate change and invasive species and to provide
critical habitat for birds, native fish, endangered species and other
animals and plants that are suffering from lost, degraded, or
threatened habitat. The Secretary shall determine entities eligible to
receive such grants, projects eligible for such grants, application and
approval procedures for such grants, and any limitations on the amount
and uses of such grants, and any other terms and conditions the
Secretary determines appropriate.
SEC. 3. DEFINITION OF RIPARIAN FOREST.
As used in this Act, the term ``riparian forest'' means any
riparian area and includes all plant, animal, insect, and microbial
communities in such areas.
SEC. 4. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.
There is authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary of the
Interior $13,000,000 for each of fiscals years 2022 through 2031 to
carry out the grant program established under section 2.

2,430 | 14,222 | H.R.8877 | Health | Biologics Competition Act of 2022
This bill requires the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to evaluate (1) the differences between the requirements that apply to interchangeable biologics and the requirements that apply to therapeutically equivalent ratings for generic drugs, and (2) the effects of these differences on the approval of interchangeable biologics. The FDA must update the Purple Book with changes that better align the ways these requirements are communicated while still maintaining each distinct approval pathway.
The Purple Book is an FDA publication that lists approved biological products, including biosimilars and interchangeable biologics. Interchangeable biologics are biologics that may be substituted for the original product without consulting the prescriber, similar to how generic drugs may be substituted for brand-name drugs based on therapeutic equivalence. | To direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to evaluate the
extent to which the substitution of interchangeable biological products
may be impeded by differences between the system for determining a
biological product to be interchangeable and the system for assigning
therapeutic equivalence ratings to drugs, and for other purposes.

SEC. 2. STUDY ON CERTAIN IMPEDIMENTS TO THE SUBSTITUTION OF
INTERCHANGEABLE BIOLOGICAL PRODUCTS.
Not later than 12 months after the date of enactment of this Act,
the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall--
(1) complete a study to evaluate the extent to which the
substitution of interchangeable biological products licensed
under section 351 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.
262) may be impeded by differences between the system for
determining a biological product to be interchangeable under
section 351(k)(4) of such Act (42 U.S.C. 262(k)(4)) and the
system for assigning therapeutic equivalence ratings to drugs
approved under section 505 of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355);
(2) submit a report to the Congress on the results of the
study under paragraph (1); and
(3) update the list published under section 351(k)(9)(A) of
the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 262(k)(9)(A))
(commonly referred to as the ``Purple Book'') to implement such
changes as the Secretary deems necessary to harmonize the
approach for communicating the substitutability of
interchangeable biological products with the approach for
communicating therapeutic equivalence ratings assigned to
drugs, with the goals of--
(A) minimizing impediments to the substitution of
interchangeable biological products; and
(B) maintaining the distinct pathways by which
biological products are licensed under section 351 of
the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 262) and drugs
are approved under section 505 of the Federal Food,

This bill modifies recoupment provisions under the Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payment Program during the public health emergency relating to COVID-19.

4,892 | 2,269 | S.2025 | Health | Patient Access to ESRD New Innovative Devices Act
This bill requires the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to provide a certain payment adjustment under the Medicare end-stage renal disease (ESRD) prospective payment system. Specifically, the CMS must provide for a three-year temporary add-on payment adjustment for new medical devices used to diagnose, treat, or manage ESRD. (CMS regulations currently provide a two-year temporary add-on payment adjustment.) | To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to improve access to
innovative new medical devices furnished to individuals with end stage
renal disease under part B of the Medicare program by establishing a
new device add-on payment adjustment under such part.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Patient Access to ESRD New
Innovative Devices Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) There are approximately 400,000 Medicare beneficiaries
with end-stage renal disease, making up 1 percent of the
Medicare population but accounting for approximately 7 percent
of all Medicare spending.
(2) Expected remaining lifetime for dialysis patients under
80 years old is one-third as long as their counterparts without
ESRD, and for dialysis patients over 80 years old, it is one-
half as long as that of their counterparts without ESRD.
(3) On average, hemodialysis patients are hospitalized
nearly twice per year and about 30 percent have an unplanned
rehospitalization within the 30 days following discharge,
contributing to high costs for treating ESRD Medicare
beneficiaries.
(4) There is a lack of innovative new devices for ESRD
Medicare beneficiaries, in part because of the lack of
reimbursement incentives for novel devices.
SEC. 3. INCREASING PATIENT ACCESS TO INNOVATIVE DEVICES FOR THE
TREATMENT OF ESRD.
The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall provide, and may
implement by program instruction or otherwise--
(1) a 3-year temporary add-on payment adjustment under
section 1881(b)(14) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.
1395rr(b)(14)) for a new medical device approved by the Food
and Drug Administration under section 513(f)(2) of the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360c) on or after
January 1, 2020, that is furnished to a beneficiary for the
diagnosis, treatment, or management of end stage renal disease;
and
(2) for such adjustment to be implemented in a nonbudget
neutral manner under such section 1881(b)(14).

Local Solutions to End Homelessness Act of 2021
This bill reallocates to urban counties, under certain circumstances, Emergency Solutions Grant funds to help individuals and families regain permanent housing after experiencing a housing crisis or homelessness.
Currently, the Department of Housing and Urban Development typically reallocates the funds to the state in which a city or county is located if the funds going to a recipient metropolitan city or urban county are less than a specified amount. The bill generally maintains this reallocation arrangement but also establishes certain circumstances when these funds must go to the urban county in which a recipient metropolitan city is located or to the recipient urban county directly.
An urban county receiving reallocated funds designated for a recipient metropolitan city must spend these funds for the benefit of the metropolitan cities located within the county. | To modify the minimum allocation requirement for the emergency
solutions grants program.
