This Act establishes the death penalty or life imprisonment as the mandatory punishment for individuals convicted of distributing, manufacturing, or possessing fentanyl with intent to distribute, if that action results in another person's death. It significantly increases the penalties for fentanyl offenses that lead to fatalities.

This resolution supports designating a "Family Month" to emphasize the importance of the traditional married mother and father family structure as the foundation of a healthy society. It criticizes current policies and cultural trends for discouraging marriage and notes the decline of the nuclear family. Ultimately, the bill calls for a national rededication to strengthening this specific family unit.

This bill aims to completely prohibit the allocation of any federal funds to the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). It mandates that leaders of all federal agencies are barred from sending any appropriated money to the organization. In essence, this legislation stops all federal financial support for the NED.

The Global Fairness in Drug Pricing Act aims to significantly lower prescription drug costs for Americans.

Additionally, the bill mandates enforcement actions against anticompetitive drug manufacturer behavior and requires a study on global pricing discrimination.

The Readiness Over Wokeness Act prohibits individuals with a history of gender dysphoria or those who have received gender-affirming care from serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.

This bill seeks to formally reject a recent rule submitted by the Department of Energy (DOE) concerning new energy conservation standards for consumer gas-fired instantaneous water heaters.

In essence, Congress is overriding the DOE's attempt to implement these specific new regulations for tankless gas water heaters.

The SHORT Act aims to reform federal firearms regulations by redefining what constitutes a "firearm" for tax purposes, largely excluding antique or collector's items. It eliminates disparate federal treatment for short-barreled rifles and shotguns used lawfully and preempts state and local governments from imposing special taxes or registration requirements on these specific weapons. Furthermore, the bill mandates the destruction of certain existing federal registration and transfer records related to defined firearms.

The No Partisan Radio and Partisan Broadcasting Services Act (NPR and PBS Act) prohibits all federal funding, direct or indirect, for the National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). This measure immediately ends government financial support for these two national broadcasting entities. The restriction also applies to any successor organizations.

The Dual Loyalty Disclosure Act mandates that candidates running for office must disclose any dual citizenship they hold with a foreign country on their official campaign paperwork.

The Defining Male and Female Act of 2025 establishes statutory definitions for "male" and "female" across all federal laws, based strictly on biological sex determined at conception (sperm or egg production).

The Act also clarifies related terms like "mother," "father," "man," and "woman" based on these biological standards.

This Act officially redesignates the Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park as the Ocmulgee Mounds National Park and establishes a new Ocmulgee Mounds National Preserve, both managed as a single unit. The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to acquire additional non-condemned land to expand the Park and establish the Preserve. The legislation also creates an Advisory Council to guide management planning, which must prioritize the cultural resources and interests of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, and transfers specific tribal land into federal trust status for the Tribe.

The Fairness for High-Skilled Americans Act of 2025 aims to eliminate the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program, which currently allows F-1 student visa holders to gain temporary work authorization after completing their studies. This bill removes the government's authority to grant such work permission unless explicitly authorized by a future Act of Congress.

The "Reorganizing Government Act of 2025" amends Title 5 of the U.S. Code to streamline executive branch operations.

The act extends executive reorganization authority through December 31, 2026, while preventing increases in federal employees or spending due to reorganization plans.

The Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2025 establishes a national standard for carrying concealed handguns across state lines. This act allows individuals legally permitted to carry in their home state to carry concealed in any other state that allows its residents to carry concealed firearms. The law does not override private property restrictions or prohibitions on government property, but it provides protections and legal recourse for those traveling in compliance with the new federal standard.

This bill constitutes the Articles of Impeachment filed by the House of Representatives against Chief Judge John James McConnell Jr. of the U.S. District Court for Rhode Island.

The resolution formally seeks his removal from the federal bench.

This bill impeaches Judge James E. Boasberg, Chief Judge for the District of Columbia, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

Boasberg is accused of interfering with the President's enforcement of laws, jeopardizing national safety, and undermining the separation of powers. The bill seeks his removal from office.

The Land And National Defense Act (LAND Act) imposes strict reciprocal restrictions on foreign entities purchasing U.S. agricultural land, mirroring the limitations a U.S. citizen would face when buying land in the purchaser's home country.

Furthermore, sellers are required to report all agricultural land sales to foreign purchasers to the Secretary of Agriculture.

The Protecting Life and Integrity in Research Act of 2025 bans all federal funding or support for research utilizing human fetal tissue obtained specifically from an induced abortion. The bill permits federal research on tissue derived from miscarriages or stillbirths, provided it adheres to updated Public Health Service Act guidelines. Furthermore, it prohibits the solicitation or knowing acceptance of human fetal tissue donations if the donor knows the tissue resulted from an induced abortion or was procured for that purpose. This legislation also repeals an existing law concerning NIH revitalization.

The Protecting the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Act of 2025 restricts the President and the Secretary of Health and Human Services from using emergency declarations to enact gun control measures.
