Legislative Activity

The No Child Tax Credit for Illegals Act of 2025 amends the Internal Revenue Code to require valid Social Security numbers for both the taxpayer and the qualifying child to claim the Child Tax Credit. By classifying the omission of these numbers as a clerical error, the bill empowers the IRS to automatically deny claims that do not meet these eligibility requirements. Exceptions are provided for members of the U.S. Armed Forces.

The Offshore Lands Authorities Act of 2025 nullifies several previous Presidential withdrawals of offshore lands, effectively reopening those areas to potential mineral leasing. The bill also establishes strict new limitations on the President’s authority to withdraw unleased offshore lands, including size and duration caps, mandatory resource assessments, and a streamlined congressional disapproval process.

The Healthy SNAP Act of 2025 aims to improve the nutritional quality of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program by restricting the purchase of items like soft drinks, candy, and desserts. The bill mandates that the Secretary of Agriculture establish and periodically update a list of eligible foods based on current nutrition science and public health standards. Additionally, it allows for state-led, culturally appropriate food substitutions that meet established nutritional requirements.

The Veterans Member Business Loan Act amends the Federal Credit Union Act to include loans made to veterans within the definition of "member business loans." This change aims to expand access to capital for veteran-owned businesses by facilitating easier lending through credit unions.

The Old Glory Only Act mandates that only the official United States flag may be flown at U.S. diplomatic and consular posts. This legislation prohibits the display of any other flags at these facilities.

The Hearing Protection Act aims to remove silencers from the purview of the National Firearms Act (NFA) by treating them similarly to standard firearms under federal tax law. This legislation preempts certain state and local taxes and registration requirements related to silencers involved in interstate commerce. Furthermore, the bill mandates the destruction of existing federal silencer registration records and updates federal marking requirements for manufacturers.

The "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025" amends Title IX to prohibit schools receiving federal funds from allowing males to participate in female athletic programs. Sex is defined as based on reproductive biology and genetics at birth. The bill allows males to train with female teams if it doesn't deprive females of opportunities. It also requires a study on the benefits lost to women when males participate in female sports.

The "No Taxpayer Funding for the World Health Organization Act" prohibits the United States government from providing any assessed or voluntary financial contributions to the World Health Organization. This legislation effectively ends all U.S. taxpayer funding for the organization upon the bill's enactment.

The "No Taxpayer Funding for United Nations Human Rights Council Act" prohibits the use of U.S. funds to support the UN Human Rights Council. It mandates that the Secretary of State withhold the portion of U.S. contributions allocated to the Council and permanently rescinds those funds. This ensures that no American taxpayer dollars are directed toward the Council's operations.

The Justice for Jocelyn Act mandates stricter detention requirements for non-citizens by limiting the use of Alternatives to Detention (ATD) programs to situations where no other detention capacity exists. The bill requires continuous GPS monitoring and nightly curfews for all individuals on the ICE non-detained docket throughout their immigration proceedings. Additionally, it establishes that any violation of release conditions will result in an automatic order of removal in absentia.

The "Repeal the NFA Act" proposes the complete elimination of the National Firearms Act (NFA). This legislation would remove federal taxes, registration requirements, and transfer restrictions currently imposed on items such as machine guns, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and silencers.

This bill expresses support for the Geneva Consensus Declaration, which promotes women's health, strengthens the family, and upholds national sovereignty in healthcare. It affirms the principles of the declaration, including the value of life and the family's role in society and seeks to ensure that U.S. policy aligns with these values by not funding abortions or coercive family planning in foreign countries. The bill also encourages other countries to uphold these principles.

The Border Wall Waste Accountability Act requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to conduct a study on the financial impact of unused construction materials intended for the U.S.-Mexico border wall. This legislation mandates a report to Congress detailing the total costs associated with these materials purchased between January 2021 and January 2025.

The Border Safety and Security Act of 2025 authorizes the Secretary of Homeland Security to suspend the entry of inadmissible aliens at U.S. borders to maintain operational control. It mandates a suspension of entry whenever the government lacks the capacity to properly detain or monitor these individuals. Additionally, the bill empowers state attorneys general to sue the federal government to enforce these border security requirements.

The Sunset Chevron Act mandates that the Government Accountability Office identify and catalog federal rules previously upheld under the *Chevron* deference doctrine. The bill establishes a rolling expiration schedule for these rules, effectively sunsetting them over time unless reauthorized. Additionally, it streamlines the Congressional review process, allowing Congress to disapprove these specific rules without being restricted by standard legislative deadlines.

The REMAIN in Mexico Act of 2025 mandates that the Secretary of Homeland Security reinstate the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP). This legislation requires that asylum seekers be returned to Mexico to await their U.S. immigration proceedings, effectively codifying the 2019 policy guidance into law.

The Restoring Energy Market Freedom Act proposes the repeal of thirteen federal tax credits currently supporting renewable energy, nuclear power, and advanced energy manufacturing. By eliminating these incentives and their associated direct-pay provisions, the bill aims to remove government-subsidized market interventions in the energy sector. These changes would take effect for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024.

The Healthcare Freedom Act of 2025 replaces traditional health savings accounts with expanded "health freedom accounts" (HFAs), allowing anyone to make tax-deductible contributions for a wider range of medical expenses. The bill increases annual contribution limits and provides greater flexibility for managing healthcare costs. Additionally, it establishes a long-term transition to shift employer-provided health benefits toward these HFA-based models for future hires.

This bill aims to classify certain actions by Antifa members as domestic terrorism and formally designate Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. It highlights Antifa's history of violence and destruction, citing significant property damage, injuries, and deaths linked to the group. The bill urges the Department of Justice to prosecute Antifa's crimes and allocate resources to combat its activities.

The Legal Workforce Act mandates that all U.S. employers use a new, electronic verification system to confirm the work eligibility of every new hire. This legislation replaces the existing E-Verify program with a phased-in, mandatory process that requires employers to verify both identity and work authorization for all employees. Additionally, the bill increases penalties for hiring unauthorized workers, establishes new fraud prevention measures, and preempts state laws to create a uniform national employment verification policy.
