Legislative Activity

Sarah’s Law mandates the detention of noncitizens who are charged with or convicted of crimes resulting in death or serious bodily injury. The bill also requires the Department of Homeland Security to issue detainers for these individuals and provide victims or their families with timely, ongoing updates regarding the offender's immigration and custody status.

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. Furthermore, it amends federal law to prohibit the future collection and transfer of these records to the government when a firearms business ceases operations. The bill also requires the ATF to submit a formal report to Congress confirming the number of records destroyed.

The Security First Act aims to strengthen U.S. border security by increasing funding for state and local law enforcement through the Operation Stonegarden grant program and a new dedicated trust fund. The bill also mandates a formal review to determine if major Mexican drug cartels and criminal gangs should be designated as foreign terrorist organizations. Additionally, it requires the Department of Homeland Security to conduct comprehensive technology needs assessments and report on its recent hiring practices to improve operational capacity.

The Qualified Immunity Act of 2025 codifies existing legal protections for law enforcement officers, shielding them from individual liability when their conduct does not violate clearly established law. The bill further ensures that if an officer is found not liable under these standards while acting within the scope of their employment, their employing agency is also protected from liability.

The SHOW UP Act of 2025 requires executive agencies to revert their telework policies to pre-pandemic levels by December 31, 2019. Any future expansion of telework must be supported by a comprehensive impact study and certified by the Office of Personnel Management to ensure it improves mission performance and reduces agency costs.

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.

Furthermore, the bill mandates the destruction of existing federal silencer registration records and updates federal marking requirements for manufacturers.

The "No Welfare for the Wealthy Act of 2025" amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to strictly enforce income and resource eligibility requirements for food assistance benefits. By closing existing loopholes, the bill ensures that program resources are reserved for households that meet established financial criteria. These changes will take effect one year following the date of enactment.

The Protecting America From Spies Act strengthens national security by expanding the grounds for which foreign nationals can be deemed inadmissible to the United States. It targets individuals involved in espionage, illegal technology exports, or activities aimed at undermining the U.S. government. Additionally, the bill restricts the government's authority to grant waivers for these security-related offenses, ensuring stricter enforcement of immigration entry requirements.

The "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025" amends Title IX to prohibit schools receiving federal funds from allowing males to participate in female athletic programs. Sex is defined as based on reproductive biology and genetics at birth. The bill allows males to train with female teams if it doesn't deprive females of opportunities. It also requires a study on the benefits lost to women when males participate in female sports.

The "No Taxpayer Funding for the World Health Organization Act" prohibits the United States government from providing any assessed or voluntary financial contributions to the World Health Organization. This legislation effectively ends all U.S. taxpayer funding for the organization upon the bill's enactment.

The Thin Blue Line Act amends federal law to designate the killing or attempted killing of a law enforcement officer, firefighter, or first responder as an aggravating factor in capital sentencing. This legislation ensures that when a jury considers the death penalty, they must take into account whether the victim was targeted due to their status as a public servant or while performing their official duties.

This bill expresses support for the Geneva Consensus Declaration, which promotes women's health, strengthens the family, and upholds national sovereignty in healthcare. It affirms the principles of the declaration, including the value of life and the family's role in society and seeks to ensure that U.S. policy aligns with these values by not funding abortions or coercive family planning in foreign countries. The bill also encourages other countries to uphold these principles.

The Border Safety and Security Act of 2025 authorizes the Secretary of Homeland Security to suspend the entry of inadmissible aliens at U.S. borders to maintain operational control. It mandates a suspension of entry whenever the government lacks the capacity to properly detain or monitor these individuals. Additionally, the bill empowers state attorneys general to sue the federal government to enforce these border security requirements.

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 Sunset Chevron Act mandates that the Government Accountability Office identify and catalog federal rules previously upheld under the *Chevron* deference doctrine. The bill establishes a rolling expiration schedule for these rules, effectively sunsetting them over time unless reauthorized. Additionally, it streamlines the Congressional review process, allowing Congress to disapprove these specific rules without being restricted by standard legislative deadlines.

The Healthcare Freedom Act of 2025 replaces traditional health savings accounts with expanded "health freedom accounts" (HFAs), allowing anyone to make tax-deductible contributions for a wider range of medical expenses. The bill increases annual contribution limits and provides greater flexibility for managing healthcare costs. Additionally, it establishes a long-term transition to shift employer-provided health benefits toward these HFA-based models for future hires.

This bill aims to classify certain actions by Antifa members as domestic terrorism and formally designate Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. It highlights Antifa's history of violence and destruction, citing significant property damage, injuries, and deaths linked to the group. The bill urges the Department of Justice to prosecute Antifa's crimes and allocate resources to combat its activities.

The Helping Owners with Unaffordable Shoddy Edicts (HOUSE) Act of 2025 aims to reduce housing costs by reverting energy efficiency standards for housing to previous levels. It prohibits federal agencies like HUD, USDA, and VA from enforcing stricter energy efficiency standards for new construction and financing. The bill also prevents the Federal Housing Finance Agency from implementing new energy efficiency rules for single and multifamily housing. It requires consideration of state standards, ensuring that at least 26 states have adopted energy efficiency codes or standards meeting or exceeding the revised code or standard requirements.

The Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act of 2025 aims to increase federal regulatory accountability by requiring Congress to approve any "major" rule before it can take effect. Under this legislation, rules with a significant economic impact require a joint resolution of approval from both chambers of Congress to become law. By shifting this authority back to the legislative branch, the Act seeks to ensure greater transparency and oversight of the federal rulemaking process.

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.
