Department of Homeland Security Vehicular Terrorism Prevention and Mitigation Act of 2025

This bill directs the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to submit a report to Congress on the department's efforts to prevent, deter, and respond to vehicular terrorism (i.e., an action that utilizes automotive transportation to commit terrorism). DHS must submit the report in coordination with the Transportation Security Administration and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

Among other things, the report on vehicular terrorism must include

an assessment of the current and emerging threats;

a review of higher-risk locations and events that may be vulnerable, including critical infrastructure sites (e.g., airports and government facilities);

a description of DHS’s coordination efforts with federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies related to prevention; and

recommendations for the research, development, and deployment of technologies to detect, deter, and mitigate vehicular terrorism.

DHS must submit a classified report to Congress, but may include an unclassified executive summary. DHS must publish the executive summary on the department's website.

In addition, DHS must brief Congress on the report's findings, conclusions, and recommendations.

Shielding Children's Retinas from Egregious Exposure on the Net Act or the SCREEN Act

This bill establishes age-verification requirements for commercial interactive computer services (e.g., websites) that make available content that is harmful to minors (e.g., content that appeals to the prurient interest in nudity or sex, is obscene, or is child pornography).

Specifically, the bill requires such services to adopt and utilize technology verification measures to ensure that (1) users of the service are not minors, and (2) minors are prevented from accessing any content on the service that is harmful to minors.

Additionally, such services must (1) use the technology to verify a user's age; (2) publish the verification process that the service uses; and (3) subject users' Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, including known virtual proxy network (VPN) IP addresses, to the technology verification measures, unless the service determines a user is not located within the United States.

Covered services also must implement data security measures to protect information about individuals collected through the verification process.

The Federal Trade Commission must conduct regular audits of such services, issue guidance, and otherwise enforce the requirements of this bill.
