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 Stopping Border Surges Act proposes comprehensive reforms to U.S. immigration policy by tightening asylum eligibility and accelerating the processing of unaccompanied minors. The bill mandates stricter screening standards, expands detention authority for families, and limits legal protections for those seeking asylum. Ultimately, the legislation aims to deter fraudulent claims and expedite removals through more restrictive border and interior enforcement measures.

The First Amendment Accountability Act empowers individuals to sue federal executive branch employees for violating their First Amendment rights while acting under federal authority. This legislation allows victims to seek monetary damages and legal remedies, while explicitly excluding internal federal employment disputes from its scope. Additionally, it provides for the recovery of attorney’s fees for successful plaintiffs to ensure greater accountability for government actions.

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 Family and Small Business Taxpayer Protection Act rescinds unobligated funding previously appropriated to the Internal Revenue Service. This legislation effectively cancels these unused funds and returns them to the U.S. Treasury.

The "Finish the Wall Act" mandates the immediate resumption of border wall construction along the U.S.-Mexico border, requiring completion by September 30, 2026, using previously appropriated funds. The bill directs the Department of Homeland Security to execute comprehensive infrastructure and technology plans while honoring existing construction contracts. Additionally, it requires the agency to certify full compliance with federal DNA collection requirements for individuals in Customs and Border Protection custody.

The Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act of 2025 aims to increase federal regulatory accountability by requiring Congress to approve any "major" rule before it can take effect. Under this legislation, rules with a significant economic impact require a joint resolution of approval from both chambers of Congress to become law. By shifting this authority back to the legislative branch, the Act seeks to ensure greater transparency and oversight of the federal rulemaking process.

The "No SmartPay for Anti-2A Companies Act" prohibits the General Services Administration from awarding SmartPay Program contracts to payment systems using a payment processing agency with a merchant category code for gun retailers. This restriction does not affect contracts awarded before the law's enactment.

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.
