H. R. 2925 is a plan to let people who look for minerals have spots on public land even if they haven't found anything valuable yet. It makes sure they can do their mining work, but they still need to follow the rules, take care of the land, and not hurt nature.

The bill is like a special plan to let some Alaska Native veterans who served a long time ago choose pieces of land to keep, and now it gives them more time and more lands to pick from. These new lands must be chosen carefully so that nature and animals are safe and happy.

This bill says that if some special wires under the sea, which help us talk on the internet, have already been okayed by some government helpers, they don't need to ask for permission again if they want to fix or check these wires in certain ocean places that need protecting.

H.R. 8968 wants to make sure there's always enough electricity by asking power companies to share more information about how they make and use power, and to follow new rules to keep the lights on. But some rules might make it hard for states to focus on being environmentally friendly, and it might give an easy pass to certain gas projects without checking all the details.

In this bill, they're changing the rules to make it easier and faster to use hot water from the Earth to make energy by having more frequent sales and quicker decisions on who gets to drill for this energy. They're doing this so people won't have to wait so long to start using the Earth's heat to make power.

The bill wants to give money to help states on the U.S.-Mexico border build or fix walls to protect the border. It sets aside money each year, but doesn't say exactly how much each state will get or how the money will be checked to make sure it's used correctly.
