Legislative Activity

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.

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 SHOW UP Act of 2025 requires executive agencies to revert their telework policies to pre-pandemic levels by December 31, 2019. Any future expansion of telework must be supported by a comprehensive impact study and certified by the Office of Personnel Management to ensure it improves mission performance and reduces agency costs.

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. This legislation aligns Medicare benefits with private insurance and other federal health programs to better reflect modern chiropractic practice. 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. The bill restricts the Treasury Secretary from preparing tax returns or refund claims, while explicitly protecting existing programs like IRS Free File and volunteer tax assistance 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. The bill mandates that agencies withhold grant funding from any recipient found to be in violation of these immigration statutes. Additionally, it establishes a reporting process for the Attorney General to notify the Office of Management and Budget of any individuals or entities investigated for or convicted of such violations.

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 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 Hurricane Helene and Milton Tax Relief Act of 2025 provides essential financial support to individuals and businesses impacted by these storms. The bill allows eligible taxpayers to use prior-year income to calculate the Earned Income Tax Credit, increases deduction limits for hurricane-related charitable contributions, and provides penalty-free access to retirement funds. These measures are designed to ease the economic burden on those recovering from the disaster.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment mandating a balanced federal budget, requiring that government spending not exceed income unless a supermajority in Congress approves. It also necessitates a supermajority to increase the national debt and a majority vote to raise revenue. The amendment includes exceptions for declared wars or serious military threats and would take effect five years after ratification, tasking Congress with its enforcement.

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 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 "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.
