Legislative Activity

The SHOW UP Act of 2025 mandates that Executive agencies revert to pre-pandemic telework policies and levels from December 31, 2019, within 30 days. Further telework expansion is prohibited until agencies submit a study to Congress on the impacts of telework during the pandemic, along with a plan certified by the Director of the Office of Personnel Management. This plan must demonstrate positive effects on the agency's mission, cost reduction, and adequate resources for teleworkers, and agencies cannot implement telework expansion plans without the Director's certification. The Act aims to address concerns about the impact of expanded telework on agency performance, costs, and workforce distribution.

The "Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act of 2025" seeks to modernize Medicare coverage for chiropractic services. It expands coverage to include all services provided by licensed Doctors of Chiropractic, not just manual spinal manipulation.

This aims to align Medicare with other healthcare systems and private insurance in recognizing the full scope of chiropractic care.

The Pony Up Act mandates the USPS to compensate citizens for late fees on bills when delays are attributable to the Postal Service, not external factors.

Additionally, the Postal Service Inspector General must audit and report on whether the USPS prioritizes mail delivery under agreements over other mail of the same class.

The "Repealing Big Brother Overreach Act" repeals the Corporate Transparency Act, eliminating the requirement for companies to report beneficial ownership information to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

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 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.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to limit the number of terms a member of Congress can serve.

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.

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 "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 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.

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.

Additionally, the Act prohibits states from requiring immigration detention facilities housing families with children to be licensed by the state or local governments.

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.

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.
