On December 1, 2025, the President signed into law two significant pieces of legislation: H.R. 695, the Medal of Honor Act, and H.R. 2483, the SUPPORT for Patients and Communications Reauthorization Act of 2025.

The Medal of Honor Act requires an increase in the special monthly pension for eligible Medal of Honor recipients from the Department of Veterans Affairs, honoring the sacrifices and service of these individuals.

The SUPPORT Act aims to reauthorize key programs designed to prevent, treat, and support recovery from substance use disorders, a major public health issue in the nation.
