The PROTECTS Act of 2025 prohibits the use of federal funds to provide, refer, or reimburse gender transition procedures—including surgeries, hormone therapies, and puberty blockers—for individuals under the age of 18. The bill includes specific exceptions for medically necessary treatments related to genetic disorders of sex development or other physical health conditions.

The "Defund the CFPB Act" proposes eliminating all federal funding for the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection. By capping the agency's budget at $0, the bill effectively seeks to terminate the Bureau's financial operations and its ability to function as established under the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010.

The Life at Conception Act declares that the constitutional right to life begins at the moment of fertilization, defining all human beings as persons from that point forward. The bill establishes legal personhood for every member of the species *homo sapiens* at all stages of development. Additionally, it explicitly prohibits the prosecution of any woman for the death of her unborn child.

The "Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act" ensures that infants born alive after an abortion receive the same medical care as any other newborn, mandating immediate hospitalization and requiring healthcare practitioners to report any failures to comply. Violators face fines, imprisonment, and potential prosecution for homicide or attempted homicide, while the mother of the child cannot be prosecuted. The bill also allows the woman who had the abortion to file a civil action against anyone who violated the act. It defines abortion and attempts at abortion, and renames "Partial-Birth Abortions" to "Abortions" in relevant sections of the U.S. Code.

The bill also mandates strict documentation and record-keeping requirements for all heartbeat determinations and exception claims.

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 Protecting Life on College Campus Act of 2025 prohibits federal funding for any institution of higher education that hosts or is affiliated with campus-based clinics providing abortions or abortion-inducing drugs.

Furthermore, the resolution urges state legislatures to pass laws affirming the sanctity of life and improving abortion data collection.

The "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2025" seeks to prohibit the use of federal funds for abortions and for health plans that cover abortions, while allowing individuals and entities to purchase separate abortion coverage with non-federal funds. It clarifies that premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) cannot be used for health plans that include abortion coverage. The Act also revises notice requirements for health plans, mandating clear disclosure of abortion coverage and any associated premium surcharges to enrollees. Exceptions to the funding restrictions are included for cases of rape, incest, or when the mother's life is in danger.

The Ending Chemical Abortions Act of 2025 seeks to prohibit the prescription, distribution, and sale of drugs intended to cause an abortion.

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.

These changes would apply only to individuals born on or after the date of the Act's enactment.

The "No Retaining Every Gun In a System That Restricts Your Rights Act" mandates the destruction of all firearm transaction records currently held by the ATF from discontinued businesses.

The bill also requires the ATF to submit a formal report to Congress confirming the number of records destroyed.

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.
