The "Protecting Puppies from Sharia Act" aims to prevent state and local governments from banning dog ownership by restricting federal funding to any jurisdiction that implements such a prohibition.

The Incentivize Savings Act mandates how federal agencies must handle unspent appropriations by dedicating the majority to debt reduction and allowing a portion for employee retention bonuses.
