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 from providing any mandatory or voluntary funding to the World Health Organization. This prohibition begins on the date the Act is enacted.

The Healthcare Freedom Act of 2025 expands health savings accounts, renaming them "health freedom accounts," and broadens their accessibility and usage. It allows all individuals to deduct contributions, increases contribution limits, and includes direct primary care and healthcare sharing ministries as qualified medical expenses. Additionally, employer contributions to health freedom accounts are excluded from employee gross income for employees hired five years after the law's enactment.

The "REMAIN in Mexico Act of 2025" mandates the Secretary of Homeland Security to reinstate and enforce the Migrant Protection Protocols, as previously outlined in the 2019 Policy Guidance. This requires migrants and asylum seekers to remain in Mexico while awaiting U.S. immigration proceedings.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to limit the number of terms a member of Congress can serve. Representatives would be limited to 3 terms and Senators to 2 terms, with specific rules for partial terms. Terms served before the amendment's ratification would not be counted. The amendment must be ratified by three-fourths of the states within seven years to be valid.

The Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2025 mandates a comprehensive audit of the Federal Reserve System by the Comptroller General within one year. Following the audit, a detailed report must be submitted to Congress, including findings and recommendations. This act aims to increase transparency and accountability within the Federal Reserve System by repealing audit limitations.

The "Sunshine Protection Act of 2025" aims to establish permanent daylight saving time across the United States, effectively eliminating the need to change clocks twice a year. This bill repeals the provision allowing for standard time and adjusts time zone calculations accordingly. States that previously opted out of daylight saving time are given the option to choose between the new permanent daylight saving time or the previous standard time. The act also updates cross-references to ensure legal consistency with these changes.

The "Ensuring United Families at the Border Act" modifies the detention rules for families entering the U.S. unlawfully, stating that there is no assumption that a minor entering the U.S. with a parent should not be detained. It mandates that the Department of Homeland Security detain parents who have been charged with misdemeanor offenses for unlawful entry along with their child. Additionally, the Act prohibits states from requiring immigration detention facilities housing families with children to be licensed by the state or local governments.

The "Freedom for Families Act" expands the use of health savings accounts (HSAs) by allowing tax-free distributions for caregiving expenses related to family and medical leave. It also eliminates the requirement of having a high-deductible health plan to be eligible for an HSA, and increases the maximum annual contribution limit to $9,000. These changes aim to provide greater flexibility and accessibility to HSAs for families.

The FairTax Act of 2025 repeals federal income, payroll, estate, and gift taxes and replaces them with a national sales tax. This would impose a 23% federal sales tax on most goods and services starting in 2027, while providing a monthly sales tax rebate for qualified families. States can administer the federal sales tax if they have a conforming sales tax and agree with the Treasury Department. The Act includes a sunset provision that eliminates the sales tax if the Sixteenth Amendment, which allows Congress to levy an income tax, is not repealed within seven years.

The "Responsible Borrower Protection Act of 2025" prevents the enforcement of changes to mortgage credit fees announced on January 19, 2023, by the Federal Housing Finance Agency. This act ensures that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can continue to use risk-based pricing for credit fees on single-family home mortgages.

The FIND Act prohibits federal agencies from contracting with entities that discriminate against the firearm and ammunition industry. It requires federal contractors to certify they do not discriminate against firearm entities and prohibits them from awarding subcontracts to entities that do not provide a similar certification. Violations of these clauses will result in contract termination. The act defines "discriminate" as making judgments or refusing/limiting services based on biased criteria, rather than case-by-case evaluations, empirical data, financial risk, or legal non-compliance.
