On December 12, 2025, the President signed five significant bills into law that address various issues related to veterans, servicemembers, and federal regulations. The legislation includes the “Miracle on Ice Congressional Gold Medal Act,” which honors the members of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Men’s Ice Hockey team with Congressional Gold Medals, recognizing their historic achievement in sports.

Additionally, the “Fairness for Servicemembers and their Families Act of 2025” requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to review the automatic maximum coverage under the Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance and Veterans’ Group Life Insurance programs. The “Montgomery GI Bill Selected Reserves Tuition Fairness Act of 2025” aims to ensure that educational institutions do not charge Selected Reserves members more than in-state tuition, enhancing access to education for veterans.

Other important measures include the “Veteran Fraud Reimbursement Act of 2025,” designed to improve the repayment of veterans’ benefits misappropriated by fiduciaries, and the “Foundation of the Federal Bar Association Charter Amendments Act of 2025,” which allows the Foundation’s corporate requirements to be dictated by their bylaws. Collectively, these new laws reflect ongoing efforts to support and protect the rights and benefits of veterans and servicemembers while revising federal governance structures.
