FAIR Act of 2025
Introduced Sep 4, 2025 by Sen. Steve Daines
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill requires hospitals that receive graduate medical education (GME) payments under Medicare to report certain information about the composition of their medical residency training programs.
Specifically, hospitals must provide to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) (1) the number of applicants for residencies who are from osteopathic medical schools and from allopathic medical schools, (2) the number of applicants who are accepted from each of these types of medical schools, and (3) an affirmation that the hospital considers applicants from each of these types of medical schools and accepts specified related examination results, as appropriate. Hospitals that do not provide this information are subject to a 2% reduction in their GME payments.
The CMS must post the information it receives on a public website.

No floor votes yet — it hasn't reached the floor of either chamber.
