Legislative Activity

This resolution expresses support for designating the week of November 2 through November 8, 2025, as "Drowsy Driving Prevention Week." The goal is to raise national awareness about the serious dangers of driving while fatigued. It encourages the President to issue a proclamation to promote education on preventative measures against drowsy driving incidents.

The Fire Sale Loophole Closing Act of 2025 aims to prevent Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) from quickly transferring their business inventory into personal collections when their license is facing revocation or denial. This bill restricts how dealers can move firearms once the Attorney General initiates action against their license. It ensures that remaining inventory is either transferred to another licensed dealer or subject to specific holding periods after a license officially ends.

The Undetectable Firearms Modernization Act updates federal law regarding the manufacture and possession of firearms that are difficult to detect by security equipment. This bill revises the standards for what constitutes an "undetectable firearm" by changing the required metal detection and X-ray signatures for compliance. It also clarifies definitions for major components and detectable materials, while maintaining prohibitions on these weapons, with specific exemptions for government-owned or contracted firearms.

The Protect Children Through Safe Gun Ownership Act aims to enhance child safety by imposing new knowledge requirements for parental consent regarding juvenile handgun possession. It establishes federal standards for secure firearm storage, making unsecured firearms illegal unless immediately accessible, and creates civil penalties for violations. Furthermore, the bill establishes a grant program to fund safe storage education in school districts located in states with compatible storage laws.

This bill directs the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) to investigate how domestic terrorists and extremists procure firearms and accessories through the U.S. financial system. FinCEN will request relevant transaction data from financial institutions to understand these procurement methods. Based on the findings, FinCEN will either issue an advisory on suspicious activity or report back to Congress on the sufficiency of the collected information.

The Gun Records Restoration and Preservation Act aims to strengthen efforts against illegal gun trafficking by repealing key provisions of the Tiahrt Amendments. This legislation removes restrictions that mandate the destruction of gun background check records within 24 hours and prevents the ATF from conducting necessary inventory audits. By eliminating these limitations, the bill seeks to provide law enforcement and researchers with the data needed to better track firearms and improve public safety policies.

The Background Check Point of Contact Act of 2025 establishes a federal grant program to incentivize states to create or maintain a dedicated "point-of-contact" system for firearm transfers. This system requires states to approve or deny all gun sales within ten days via a dedicated hotline connected to national background checks. States receiving funds must meet operational requirements, submit detailed annual performance reports, and undergo annual audits by the FBI.

The Save Healthcare Workers Act aims to protect hospital personnel by making assault against them a federal crime with severe penalties. It also establishes a new federal grant program to help hospitals implement crucial safety measures, such as violence prevention training and physical security upgrades. This legislation seeks to reduce workplace violence in healthcare settings across the nation.

The Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act of 2025 seeks to permanently safeguard vast public lands across five Western states by designating new wilderness areas, establishing critical wildlife corridors, and protecting numerous rivers as Wild and Scenic. The bill also mandates extensive ecological restoration in designated recovery zones and establishes rigorous scientific monitoring for the entire region. Furthermore, it explicitly protects existing Tribal rights and ensures that federal water claims remain unaffected by these new conservation mandates.

This bill recognizes the critical role of sleep in health and well-being and supports the designation of "Sleep Awareness Week." It encourages public health initiatives, promotes healthy sleep habits, and urges Americans to prioritize sleep and consult healthcare providers about sleep concerns. The bill also acknowledges the need for policies that improve sleep health.

This bill designates the United States Postal Service facility located at 28 East Airy Street in Norristown, Pennsylvania, as the "Charles L. Blockson Post Office Building." Any reference to this facility in any document will now refer to it as the Charles L. Blockson Post Office Building.
