Dismantling Ideological Policies for Semiconductors and Science ActThis bill repeals requirements and eliminates positions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in various federal programs and offices focused on science. Each of the repealed provisions was originally included in the CHIPS and Science Act.Among other modifications, the billrepeals a provision authorizing the National Institute for Standards and Technology to conduct outreach to and develop research collaborations with historically Black colleges and universities, tribal colleges and universities, and other minority-serving institutions;eliminates the position of Chief Diversity Officer within the National Science Foundation (NSF);repeals an NSF grant program to enable institutions of higher education and nonprofit organizations to increase the participation of women and underrepresented minorities in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) studies and careers; andeliminates references to diversity in the purposes and responsibilities of the Office of STEM Engagement within the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.The bill also prohibits executive branch agencies from requiring entities seeking federal funding to have certain policies in place, unless such a requirement is imposed by a federal statute. Such policies include those related to hiring, training, and retaining a diverse workforce; providing childcare for employees; minimizing adverse impacts on the environment and local communities; and consultation with labor organizations.(On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued an executive order titled Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing, which directed the termination of all federal DEI programs, offices, and positions, including Chief Diversity Officer positions.)

Kids Online Safety ActThis bill requires covered online platforms, including social media platforms, to implement tools and safeguards to protect users and visitors under the age of 17. Covered platforms are online platforms, video games, messaging applications, or video streaming services used or likely to be used by individuals under the age of 17, with specified exceptions. The bill generally requires covered platforms to exercise reasonable care in the design and use of features that increase minors’ online activity in order to prevent and mitigate harm to minors (e.g., mental health disorders and severe harassment).  Covered platforms are also required to provide certain safeguards to minors, such as protections for minors’ data; tools for parents of minors, such as access to minors’ privacy settings; and a mechanism for account holders and visitors to report harm to minors on the platform. Covered platforms are prohibited from conducting market or product research on children under the age of 13, and may only conduct such research on those under the age of 17 with parental consent. The bill provides for enforcement through the Federal Trade Commission and states. The bill also requires online platforms to meet certain requirements before using algorithms that select, order, or prioritize information presented to users based on user-specific data not provided for that purpose. Specifically, such platforms must (1) provide users with notice of the use of such algorithms, and (2) permit users to switch to an algorithm that does not rely on such user-specific data.

Poarch Band of Creek Indians Parity ActThis bill applies the Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) to the Poarch Band of Creek Indians. Additionally, the bill reaffirms previous decisions by the Department of the Interior to take land into trust for the tribe under the IRA.A 2009 Supreme Court case, Carcieri v. Salazar, decided that Interior could not take land into trust for a specified tribe because that tribe had not been under federal jurisdiction when the IRA was enacted in 1934. This bill (1) affirms the applicability of the IRA to the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, thereby deeming the tribe to be under federal jurisdiction as of June 18, 1934, for purposes of the IRA; and (2) reaffirms prior decisions by Interior to take land into trust for the benefit of the tribe.
