Legislative Activity

The Hearing Protection Act aims to remove silencers from the purview of the National Firearms Act (NFA) by treating them similarly to standard firearms under federal tax law. This legislation preempts certain state and local taxes and registration requirements related to silencers involved in interstate commerce. Furthermore, the bill mandates the destruction of existing federal silencer registration records and updates federal marking requirements for manufacturers.

The REMAIN in Mexico Act of 2025 mandates that the Secretary of Homeland Security reinstate the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP). This legislation requires that asylum seekers be returned to Mexico to await their U.S. immigration proceedings, effectively codifying the 2019 policy guidance into law.

The Legal Workforce Act mandates that all U.S. employers use a new, electronic verification system to confirm the work eligibility of every new hire. This legislation replaces the existing E-Verify program with a phased-in, mandatory process that requires employers to verify both identity and work authorization for all employees. Additionally, the bill increases penalties for hiring unauthorized workers, establishes new fraud prevention measures, and preempts state laws to create a uniform national employment verification policy.

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.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to mandate a balanced federal budget, limit government spending to 18% of GDP, and require supermajority votes to raise taxes or increase the debt limit. It includes exceptions for declared wars or serious military threats and prevents courts from ordering tax increases to enforce the amendment. The amendment would take effect five years after ratification, giving congress time to create legislation to enforce the amendment.

The TCJA Permanency Act makes the individual tax reforms of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent, including lowered income tax rates, an increased standard deduction, and an expanded Child Tax Credit. The legislation also solidifies higher exemptions for the Alternative Minimum Tax to protect more households from the parallel tax system. By locking in these provisions, the bill aims to simplify tax filing while providing long-term stability for families, small business owners, and individual taxpayers.

The "No Budget, No Pay Act" mandates that if the House or Senate fails to pass a budget resolution by April 15, members' salaries will be withheld in an escrow account. These funds remain held until the chamber passes a budget or the current Congress concludes. This legislation aims to incentivize timely fiscal action by temporarily suspending direct pay for members of Congress when budget deadlines are missed.

The Stopping Border Surges Act proposes comprehensive reforms to U.S. immigration policy by tightening asylum eligibility and accelerating the processing of unaccompanied minors. The bill mandates stricter screening standards, expands detention authority for families, and limits legal protections for those seeking asylum. Ultimately, the legislation aims to deter fraudulent claims and expedite removals through more restrictive border and interior enforcement measures.

The "Responsible Path to Full Obamacare Repeal Act" repeals both the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, effective October 1, 2025. It aims to reinstate the laws that were in place before these acts were enacted, essentially reversing all changes made by Obamacare.

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.
