President Donald Trump signed three bills into law Thursday, including budget rescissions, tax filing relief for disaster victims, and the renaming of a Texas wildlife refuge, the White House announced.
The legislation addresses fiscal restraint, disaster response, and commemorative naming, reflecting the diverse congressional priorities of the current session.
H.R. 4, the Rescissions Act of 2025, cancels specific budget spending previously proposed for elimination. The President submitted these rescission requests to Congress on June 3, 2025, following the procedures established by the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974.
H.R. 517, the Filing Relief for Natural Disasters Act, modifies Internal Revenue Code provisions for postponing tax deadlines during disasters. The measure streamlines relief procedures for taxpayers affected by hurricanes, floods, and other natural catastrophes.
S. 1596 renames the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge in Texas as the Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge. The 37,000-acre preserve along the Gulf Coast provides habitat for migratory birds and endangered species. The renaming was intended to honor the memory of Jocelyn Nungary, the 12-year-old girl who was brutally murdered in Houston in 2024 by two Venezuelan illegal aliens in a case that drew attention to border security issues.
The bill signings mark continued legislative activity as Congress addresses budget concerns and disaster preparedness. Tax filing relief particularly resonates as climate-related disasters increase in frequency and severity across the nation.
