The Fairness for the Trades Act expands 529 college savings plans to allow for tax-free withdrawals to cover the cost of essential business equipment. This benefit applies to individuals working in specific trade fields, including construction, forestry, and specialized repair services. By treating these tools and machinery as qualified expenses, the bill aims to reduce the financial barriers for those entering or operating within the trades.

The National Constitutional Carry Act seeks to protect the Second Amendment right of law-abiding citizens to carry firearms in public for self-defense. The bill prohibits state and local governments from imposing criminal or civil penalties on individuals who are legally eligible to possess firearms. By overriding restrictive local regulations, the legislation aims to ensure a uniform standard for the right to bear arms across the United States.

The Main Street Tax Certainty Act makes the 20% pass-through business income deduction permanent. By removing the current 2025 expiration date, this legislation ensures long-term tax relief for owners of qualified pass-through entities.

Sarah’s Law mandates the detention of noncitizens who are charged with or convicted of crimes resulting in death or serious bodily injury. The bill also requires the Department of Homeland Security to issue detainers for these individuals and provide victims or their families with timely, ongoing updates regarding the offender's immigration and custody status.

The Birthright Citizenship Act of 2025 proposes to limit automatic birthright citizenship to children born in the United States who have at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen, a lawful permanent resident, or an alien serving in the U.S. armed forces. This legislation would exclude children born to parents without legal status or those on temporary visas from receiving automatic citizenship. These changes would apply only to individuals born on or after the date of the Act's enactment.

The SHOW UP Act of 2025 requires executive agencies to revert their telework policies to pre-pandemic levels by December 31, 2019.

The AMERICANS Act of 2025 provides relief to military service members who faced discharge or adverse action due to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate. The bill mandates the correction of service records, offers pathways for reinstatement and back pay, and prohibits future COVID-19 vaccine mandates without explicit Congressional authorization. Additionally, it establishes clear exemption processes for deployment and ensures equal professional treatment for unvaccinated personnel.

This bill asserts the constitutional right of states to defend themselves against invasion, citing the situation at the southern border from 2021-2024 as an invasion by cartels, terrorists, and criminal elements. It criticizes the Biden administration's border policies and claims the federal government failed to protect southern border states, thus empowering states to take defensive action.

The Veterans Member Business Loan Act amends the Federal Credit Union Act to include loans made to veterans within the definition of "member business loans." This change aims to expand access to capital for veteran-owned businesses by facilitating easier lending through credit unions.

The Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act of 2025 expands Medicare coverage to include all services legally authorized under a chiropractor’s state license, moving beyond the current restriction limited to manual spinal manipulation.

To provide these expanded services, chiropractors will be required to complete a one-time training program verified by the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

The FAIR PREP Act of 2025 prohibits the IRS from developing or operating its own electronic tax preparation and filing services.

Additionally, it prevents the use of federal funds for the development of new government-run tax preparation systems without explicit congressional authorization.

The Old Glory Only Act mandates that only the official United States flag may be flown at U.S. diplomatic and consular posts. This legislation prohibits the display of any other flags at these facilities.

The States’ Education Reclamation Act of 2025 proposes the abolition of the federal Department of Education to return primary authority over schooling to states and local communities. The bill replaces current federal education programs with direct block grants to states, ensuring funding remains available for elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education while mandating strict fiscal accountability. Certain essential programs would be transferred to other federal agencies, and the legislation requires a formal plan for the Department’s closure.

The Disaster Reforestation Act amends the Internal Revenue Code to provide tax relief for timber owners whose uncut timber is destroyed by natural disasters, pests, or disease. It allows owners to deduct the appraised value of lost timber—including pre-merchantable stands—provided they commit to reforesting the land within five years. This measure supports active timber businesses by ensuring tax deductions more accurately reflect the economic loss caused by casualty events.

The Grant Integrity and Border Security Act requires federal grant applicants to certify that they have not violated, and will not violate, federal laws prohibiting the harboring or transporting of illegal aliens.

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

The amendment must be ratified by three-fourths of the states within seven years to be valid.

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.

The POLICE Act of 2025 mandates the deportation of any immigrant convicted of, admitting to, or admitting to actions constituting the assault of a law enforcement officer. It broadly defines "assault" and "law enforcement officer" and requires the Department of Homeland Security to publish an annual report on the number of deportations carried out under this provision.

The "Protecting our Communities from Sexual Predators Act" amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to broaden the scope of individuals who can be detained and deported. It includes those who have committed sexual assault offenses, making them inadmissible to the U.S. and subject to deportation. This expansion applies to individuals who have been charged with, arrested for, or convicted of sexual assault, as well as those who admit to committing such acts.
