Legislative Activity

The Healthy SNAP Act of 2025 amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to revise the definition of "food" under SNAP. It excludes items like alcohol, tobacco, soft drinks, candy, ice cream, and prepared desserts from SNAP eligibility. The Act directs the Secretary to designate eligible foods based on nutritional value, public health, and cultural eating patterns, with regular reviews to update the list. It also allows for culturally relevant food substitutions with state approval, ensuring nutritional equivalence.

The "No Child Tax Credit for Illegals Act of 2025" amends the tax code to require both the taxpayer and qualifying child to have a social security number to claim the child tax credit. The social security number must be issued by the Social Security Administration to a U.S. citizen or someone authorized to work in the United States. Failure to include a valid social security number will be treated as a mathematical error. This requirement applies to tax years beginning after the enactment of this law.

The Veterans Member Business Loan Act amends the Federal Credit Union Act to include loans to veterans as member business loans. The term "veteran" will be defined according to title 38, section 101 of the U.S. Code. This change aims to support veteran entrepreneurship by increasing their access to capital through credit unions. The changes will be effective six months after the enactment of this Act.

The "Ending Presidential Overreach on Public Lands Act" requires congressional approval for the creation or expansion of any national monument. This bill aims to limit the President's authority over public lands by ensuring that any designation or expansion of national monuments is subject to congressional oversight and approval.

The TRUST in Congress Act mandates that members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children place covered investments, such as securities and commodities, into qualified blind trusts within a specified timeframe. These trusts must remain in place until 180 days after the member leaves office, ensuring that investment decisions are made without the member's knowledge or influence. Members must certify their compliance or declare the absence of covered investments, with these certifications being made public. An exception is provided for spouses or dependent children whose primary income is derived from a covered investment.

The "Repeal the NFA Act" aims to eliminate the National Firearms Act (NFA). This bill would remove all regulations, taxes, and registration requirements imposed by the NFA on certain firearms and devices. By repealing the NFA, the bill seeks to deregulate the ownership and transfer of items currently covered under the NFA.

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.

The Border Safety and Security Act of 2025 allows the Secretary of Homeland Security to suspend the entry of certain aliens at U.S. borders if it's needed to maintain control, and requires the Secretary to prohibit entry if aliens cannot be detained or placed in an appropriate program. State Attorneys General can sue the Secretary of Homeland Security in federal court if they believe this section is being violated. The bill defines "covered alien" as someone seeking entry who is inadmissible under existing immigration law.

The Sunset Chevron Act mandates the Comptroller General to list all rules upheld by Chevron deference, and sets sunset dates for those rules, repealing them over time. It requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to create a list of rules that were upheld due to Chevron deference. The Act sets a timeline for the rules to expire and waives a Congressional Review Act period for expedited resolutions related to the identified rules.

This bill seeks to expunge the December 18, 2019, impeachment of President Donald J. Trump. It argues the impeachment was based on unsubstantiated claims and lacked the constitutional basis of high crimes and misdemeanors. The bill aims to remove the impeachment record as if it never occurred.

The "Restoring Vehicle Market Freedom Act of 2025" repeals several existing tax credits related to clean vehicles, including those for previously owned clean vehicles, alternative motor vehicles, alternative fuel vehicle refueling property, new plug-in electric drive motor vehicles, and qualified commercial clean vehicles, amending the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 accordingly.

This bill seeks to expunge the January 13, 2021, impeachment of President Donald J. Trump, effectively removing it from the historical record. It argues the impeachment was conducted without proper due process, lacked critical context, and did not prove Trump committed impeachable offenses or engaged in insurrection. The bill asserts that the impeachment should be expunged to ensure Trump is not barred from holding future office.

The "Abolish the ATF Act" eliminates the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). This would effectively end the ATF's regulatory and enforcement powers over alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and explosives.

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 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 KAMALA Act prohibits housing and community development grants from being used to assist individuals who are not U.S. nationals or lawfully admitted for permanent residence. It also prevents the Secretary from providing grants to any state, local government, or Indian tribe that administers housing or community development programs offering assistance to individuals who are not U.S. nationals or lawfully admitted for permanent residence.

The "Stop Woke Investing Act" aims to modify SEC regulations regarding shareholder proposals, limiting the number of proposals companies must include on proxy cards based on filer status (non-accelerated, accelerated, large accelerated). It mandates that only proposals with a material financial impact on the company can be included, as determined by the company itself. This act does not require companies to include proposals that are otherwise excludable under SEC rules.

The WHO Withdrawal Act withdraws the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO) upon enactment. It also prohibits any federal funds from being used to support the WHO or any successor organization. Finally, the act repeals the Act of June 14, 1948, which previously authorized U.S. participation and funding of the WHO.

Grant's Law mandates the detention of aliens unlawfully present in the U.S. who are arrested for offenses that would make them inadmissible or deportable. It requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to detain these individuals and initiate removal proceedings, completing them within 90 days of detention. The law also allows the Secretary to release aliens to the appropriate authority for proceedings after arrest, resuming custody when necessary, and ensures continued detention until removal proceedings are complete, even if the alien is not convicted of the offense for which they were arrested.

The Land And Social Security Optimization Act (LASSO Act) directs 10% of the revenue generated from activities on public lands managed by the Department of the Interior and the Forest Service to be deposited into the Social Security Trust Fund annually. This act does not authorize increasing prices for activities on public lands, nor does it reduce funds available to states, Indian Tribes, territories, or local governments from revenue generated on public lands.
