The Dismantle DEI Act of 2025 aims to immediately rescind diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) mandates across the federal government, including shutting down related offices and banning specific ideological training for federal personnel and contractors. The bill prohibits the use of federal funds for DEI activities by grant recipients and mandates that federal advisory committees cease all such practices or face termination. Furthermore, it establishes strong enforcement mechanisms, allowing individuals to sue violators and seek financial penalties for non-compliance.

The "Prison Staff Safety Enhancement Act" aims to address and prevent sexual harassment and sexual assault against Bureau of Prisons staff by incarcerated individuals.

This bill terminates the Department of Education, effectively eliminating the department on December 31, 2026.

The "Refugees Using Legal Entry Safely Act" or "RULES Act" modifies asylum eligibility by requiring aliens to apply for asylum only at a port of entry, regardless of status. It prohibits the parole or release of any alien applying for asylum at a port of entry and removes considerations for safe third countries. This act does not apply to aliens apprehended in the U.S. after entering without inspection or overstaying their visa.

The "Drug Cartel Terrorist Designation Act" mandates the Secretary of State to report to Congress on whether certain Mexican drug cartels meet the criteria to be designated as foreign terrorist organizations, and to designate those that meet the criteria as such. This report must include detailed justifications for any cartel not designated. The Act does not expand asylum eligibility based on these designations.

The "Safeguarding American Workers Benefits Act" amends the Internal Revenue Code to modify Social Security number (SSN) requirements for the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit. It mandates that to claim these credits, the SSN must be issued by the Social Security Administration to a U.S. citizen or someone authorized to work in the U.S. These modifications will be effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025.

The "America First Act" seeks to limit eligibility for federal benefits for certain immigrants by modifying existing laws related to public benefits, healthcare, housing, and financial aid. It restricts access to programs like Head Start, Medicaid, and housing assistance based on immigration status, and it requires stricter verification of citizenship for programs like WIC and school meals. The bill also reduces funding for sanctuary jurisdictions and places limitations on refugee resettlement and FEMA programs. Additionally, it modifies the child tax credit and earned income tax credit, requiring social security numbers for both the taxpayer and qualifying children.

The "Securing America's Land from Foreign Interference Act" prohibits members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and entities under CCP control from purchasing public or private real estate within the United States and its territories. This includes the 50 states, Washington DC, and US territories.

The "No Abortion Coverage for Medicaid Act" seeks to codify the Hyde Amendment by ensuring that federal Medicaid funds are not used for abortions or health coverage that includes abortion services. This includes prohibiting the use of federal funds for travel or lodging related to obtaining an abortion. Exceptions are made only in cases of rape, incest, to save the mother's life, or for the treatment of a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.

The "Teleabortion Prevention Act of 2025" prohibits healthcare providers from performing chemical abortions without being physically present to examine the patient, administer the medication, and schedule a follow-up visit.

The "CBO Show Your Work Act" mandates the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to publicly release the fiscal, policy, and data models used for cost estimates of legislation, along with any updates. This allows for transparency and replication of CBO's analyses by external parties. The CBO must also disclose data, programs, assumptions, and computational details used in preparing cost estimates, while protecting confidential data by providing detailed variable lists, statistics, and contact information for data access.

The "Life at Conception Act" declares that the right to life, as guaranteed by the Constitution, is vested in each human being, both born and preborn, from fertilization onward. This act defines "human being" as every member of the species homo sapiens at all stages of life. Notably, the act specifies that no woman shall be prosecuted 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 "End Unaccountable Amnesty Act" seeks to reform immigration laws by requiring congressional approval for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designations and terminations, changing procedures for unaccompanied alien children, repealing cancellation of removal, restricting acceptable identification documents for air travel, and limiting the use of immigration parole. The bill also places restrictions on who can be granted special immigrant juvenile status. Furthermore, it sets a limit on the number of people who can be granted parole and requires a report to Congress on those granted parole.

The "Main Street Tax Certainty Act" amends the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to permanently extend the deduction for qualified business income. This removes the previous expiration date, providing long-term tax certainty for eligible businesses. The change applies to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025.

The "National Constitutional Carry Act" aims to protect the Second Amendment rights of individuals to carry firearms in public for self-defense, as affirmed by Supreme Court decisions. It prevents state and local governments from restricting the carrying of firearms by legal U.S. citizens, whether residents or non-residents, in any public place, with exceptions for private property where firearms are prohibited and places with firearm screening. This act asserts that any state or local laws conflicting with this provision will be rendered ineffective.

The Federal Insurance Office Elimination Act eliminates the Federal Insurance Office and the position of its Director within the Department of the Treasury. It transfers certain responsibilities and authorities previously held by the office to other entities, such as the Secretary of the Treasury and the Board of Governors. The act also makes related amendments to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act to reflect these changes.

The "Regulation Decimation Act" mandates that before a new regulation can be enacted, agencies must repeal at least ten existing regulations related to the new rule, to the extent practicable. For major rules, the cost of the new rule must be less than or equal to the cost of the repealed rules. The Act also requires agencies to review existing rules to identify those that are costly, ineffective, duplicative, or outdated, and the President to report to Congress on the status of rule reduction.

The "End the Deep State Act" aims to create a new category of federal employees ("Schedule PolicyCareer") who are in confidential, policy-related roles, ensuring they can be hired and retained based on their alignment with the President's policies. It directs agencies to review positions and reclassify suitable roles under this new schedule, while also revoking a prior Executive Order that limited the ability to remove employees. The Act seeks to make federal employees more accountable to the President and ensure the President can depend on federal employees in policy-related roles. This bill would allow for the firing of federal employees who do not implement administration policies to the best of their ability, in accordance with their constitutional oath.
