Legislative Activity

The Protect Funding for Women’s Health Care Act prohibits the allocation of federal funds to the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its affiliates. The bill ensures that these funds remain available to other eligible health care providers that offer comprehensive services, such as cancer screenings, prenatal care, and immunizations. It maintains existing federal abortion-related funding restrictions while aiming to redirect resources to alternative women's health organizations.

The Foreign Adversary Risk Management (FARM) Act strengthens national security by granting the Secretary of Agriculture a seat on the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). This legislation subjects foreign investments in U.S. agricultural supply chains to rigorous federal review and mandates comprehensive reporting on foreign influence and espionage threats within the agricultural sector.

The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2025 prohibits the use of federal funds for abortion services and federally subsidized health insurance plans that include abortion coverage. The bill also mandates increased transparency by requiring health plans to clearly disclose abortion coverage and associated premium surcharges in all marketing and enrollment materials. Exceptions are provided for cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother.

The "Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act" ensures that infants born alive after an abortion receive the same medical care as any other newborn, mandating immediate hospital transport and requiring healthcare practitioners to report any failures to comply. Violators face fines, imprisonment, and potential prosecution for homicide or attempted homicide, while the mother of the child is protected from prosecution. The bill also allows the woman on whom the abortion was performed to file a civil action against anyone who violated the requirements if a child was born alive.

The CONSTRUCTS Act of 2025 establishes a competitive grant program to help community colleges and technical schools expand education and training for careers in residential construction. By prioritizing rural and underserved communities, the bill aims to grow the skilled workforce while increasing the supply of affordable housing.

The Ensuring Accurate and Complete Abortion Data Reporting Act of 2025 mandates that states submit standardized, comprehensive abortion data to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to maintain eligibility for federal Medicaid funding for family planning services. The bill establishes a national surveillance system to collect and cross-tabulate specific demographic and procedural data, requiring the Secretary of Health and Human Services to publish an annual report on the findings. This legislation aims to address current inconsistencies in state reporting and ensure the availability of accurate statistical data for public health and policy analysis.

The Accelerate Long-term Investment Growth Now (ALIGN) Act permanently allows businesses to immediately deduct the full cost of qualifying property in the year it is placed in service. By establishing a permanent 100% bonus depreciation rate, this legislation eliminates scheduled phase-downs and simplifies tax code requirements. These changes apply retroactively to property placed in service after September 27, 2017, to encourage sustained capital investment.

The Midnight Rules Relief Act of 2025 streamlines the legislative process by allowing Congress to bundle multiple "midnight rules" issued during a presidential transition into a single joint resolution of disapproval. This measure simplifies the Congressional Review Act process, making it more efficient for lawmakers to overturn multiple end-of-term agency regulations simultaneously.

The Standing Against Houthi Aggression Act mandates that the Secretary of State designate Ansarallah (the Houthis) as a foreign terrorist organization. Additionally, the bill requires the President to impose targeted sanctions on the group and its affiliates within 90 days of enactment.

The Qualified Immunity Act of 2025 codifies the doctrine of qualified immunity into federal law to protect law enforcement officers and their agencies from liability when acting reasonably. The bill establishes that officers are not liable for constitutional violations if the law was not clearly established at the time of the incident or if the specific conduct had been previously upheld by a court. Additionally, it shields law enforcement agencies and local governments from liability when their officers are found immune while acting within the scope of their employment.

The AMERICANS Act of 2025 provides remedies for military service members who faced adverse actions or discharge due to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate. The bill mandates the correction of service records, offers pathways for reinstatement and back pay, and prohibits the Secretary of Defense from issuing future COVID-19 vaccine mandates without explicit congressional approval.

The "No Retaining Every Gun In a System That Restricts Your Rights Act" mandates the destruction of all firearm transaction records currently held by the ATF from discontinued gun businesses. Additionally, the bill amends federal law to eliminate the requirement for future firearm dealers to submit their transaction records to the government upon closing. The ATF is further required to submit a report to Congress confirming the number of records destroyed.

The Restore VA Accountability Act of 2025 streamlines the disciplinary process for Department of Veterans Affairs supervisors, management officials, and senior executives. The bill establishes a "substantial evidence" standard for removals, demotions, and suspensions while removing the requirement for performance improvement plans. Additionally, it limits the ability of external bodies to mitigate penalties and clarifies judicial review procedures to ensure swifter accountability within the agency.

The Firearm Industry Non-Discrimination (FIND) Act prohibits federal executive agencies from contracting with businesses that discriminate against firearm entities or trade associations. Under this legislation, contractors must certify that they do not maintain policies that unfairly limit or refuse services to the firearm industry. Violations of these requirements may result in contract termination, suspension, or debarment.

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act amends the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. The bill mandates that states establish procedures to verify citizenship status, remove noncitizens from voter rolls, and share information with federal agencies to ensure election integrity. Additionally, it introduces criminal penalties for registering ineligible individuals and establishes a private right of action against election officials who fail to enforce these citizenship requirements.

The PRECEPT Nurses Act establishes a $2,000 annual tax credit for nurses and healthcare providers who complete at least 200 hours of clinical preceptorship in designated health professional shortage areas. This initiative aims to strengthen the nursing workforce by incentivizing experienced professionals to mentor nursing students and newly hired nurses. The program is set to run from 2026 through 2032, with mandated reporting to evaluate its impact on clinical training capacity.

The Filing Relief for Natural Disasters Act empowers the Secretary of the Treasury to postpone federal tax deadlines for state-declared disasters upon a governor's request. Additionally, the bill extends the mandatory tax deadline relief period for federally declared disasters from 60 days to 120 days.

The Recover Fraudulent COVID Funds Act extends the statute of limitations for prosecuting pandemic-related fraud to 10 years. This legislation ensures that federal authorities have more time to pursue criminal charges, civil forfeiture actions, and False Claims Act lawsuits against those who misused COVID-19 relief funds.

The Dismantle Iran’s Proxy Act of 2025 mandates that the President designate Ansarallah (the Houthi movement) as a foreign terrorist organization and impose targeted sanctions on its leadership and affiliates. The bill further requires the administration to develop a comprehensive strategy to restore freedom of navigation in the Red Sea and degrade the group's offensive capabilities. Additionally, it mandates a formal report on how Ansarallah’s actions obstruct the delivery of humanitarian aid in Yemen.

The GATE CRASHERS Act establishes a new federal criminal offense for unauthorized entry into restricted Department of Defense facilities. The legislation imposes escalating penalties for repeat offenders, ranging from fines and short-term imprisonment for a first offense to up to 10 years in prison for subsequent violations.
