Dayton National Cemetery Expansion Act of 2025
# Dayton National Cemetery Expansion Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Does** This bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to negotiate an agreement with Montgomery County's Land Bank to accept a donation of land in Dayton, Ohio. The goal is to expand the Dayton National Cemetery, which is the burial ground for veterans. The VA would have 30 days after receiving an offer from the Land Bank to begin the formal process of taking over the property at no cost to the government. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects veterans and their families who may need burial space at the Dayton National Cemetery, as well as the VA and Montgomery County. Currently, the bill is still in committee and has not been voted on by the full House of Representatives. **Key Point** This is a straightforward bill that aims to provide additional burial capacity for veterans by accepting donated land from a local government entity.
It’s About Time Act
# It's About Time Act (HR 5613) Summary **What the bill would do:** This bill would shift the federal government's fiscal year from its current schedule (October 1 – September 30) to the calendar year (January 1 – December 31). The change would take effect on January 1, 2027. Currently, the federal fiscal year starts three months before the calendar year, which means the government's budget cycle doesn't align with the calendar most Americans use. **Who it affects and key provisions:** The change would primarily affect Congress, federal agencies, and anyone involved in federal budgeting and appropriations. It would simplify budget planning by aligning the government's fiscal year with the calendar year, potentially making it easier for Congress to coordinate budget decisions with state budgets and private sector planning, which typically follow the calendar year. **Current status:** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been voted on by the full House. Representative Michael Turner (R-OH) sponsored the legislation.

# HR 4747 Summary **What the Bill Would Do** HR 4747 would modify the boundaries of the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park in Ohio. The original park was established in 1992 to preserve sites related to aviation history and the Wright brothers. This bill would adjust which areas are included within the park's official boundaries, though specific details about which properties would be added or removed aren't provided in the available information. **Who It Affects** The bill would primarily affect the Dayton, Ohio community and organizations involved in managing the national historical park. It could impact property owners near the park, local tourism, and institutions dedicated to preserving aviation heritage. Any boundary changes might also affect federal funding or management responsibilities for the affected areas. **Current Status** HR 4747 was introduced by Representative Michael R. Turner (R-OH) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill remains in the early stages of the legislative process.

# Historic Preservation Fund Reauthorization Act (HR 3418) Summary **What the Bill Does** This bill would reauthorize the Historic Preservation Fund, a federal program that provides grants and funding to states, tribes, and local governments to preserve historically significant buildings and sites. By reauthorizing the fund, Congress would continue or expand the program's operations and likely set funding levels for the coming years. Historic preservation projects typically include restoring old buildings, maintaining archaeological sites, and supporting cultural heritage programs. **Who It Affects** The bill would benefit state historic preservation offices, Native American tribes, local communities, property owners involved in restoration projects, and cultural organizations. It also supports jobs in construction, architecture, and heritage tourism industries. **Current Status** As of now, HR 3418 remains in committee, meaning it has not yet advanced to a full House vote. The bill was introduced by Representative Michael Turner (R-Ohio) but has not progressed further in the legislative process.

Susan Muffley Act of 2025
# Summary of the Susan Muffley Act of 2025 **What the bill would do:** This bill would restore full pension benefits to former Delphi Corporation employees whose pensions were reduced when General Motors went through bankruptcy in 2009. The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), a federal agency that protects pensions, would recalculate what these retirees should receive and pay them the difference they've owed since the benefits were cut. The bill also creates a special fund with federal money to cover these payments and clarifies how the payments are treated for taxes. **Who it affects:** The legislation directly affects thousands of Delphi retirees and their families who lost pension income during GM's financial crisis. These workers would receive additional monthly payments going forward, plus a one-time lump-sum payment to make up for the years of reduced benefits they've already received. **Current status:** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Michael Turner (R-Ohio) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House. The bill has not become law.
