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.

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 Laken Riley Act mandates the detention of illegal aliens who commit theft, burglary, larceny, or shoplifting. It empowers state attorneys general to sue the Department of Homeland Security or the Secretary of State for failing to enforce immigration laws, including those related to detention and removal. The bill defines grounds for legal action and requires expedited court proceedings.

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.

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.
