The "Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act" (SAVE Act) aims to ensure that only U.S. citizens register to vote in federal elections by requiring documentary proof of citizenship during voter registration.

The "Qualified Immunity Act of 2025" codifies qualified immunity for law enforcement officers, protecting them from liability in individual capacity unless the violated right was clearly established or a reasonable officer would have known their conduct was unlawful. It also shields law enforcement agencies and local governments from liability if the officer is not liable under the defined conditions or was acting within the scope of their employment. This act aims to balance accountability with the protection of officers performing their duties reasonably. The amendments will take effect 180 days after the enactment of the Act.

The "No Retaining Every Gun In a System That Restricts Your Rights Act" mandates the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to destroy firearm transaction records of discontinued firearms businesses within 90 days of enactment. It also eliminates the requirement for submission of these records in the future. The ATF Director must then submit a report to Congress detailing the number of records destroyed.

Sarah's Law mandates the detention of aliens who were not inspected upon entering the U.S., had a revoked nonimmigrant visa, or violated their visa terms, and are charged with a crime resulting in death or serious bodily injury.

The law also ensures that it does not diminish any rights crime victims have under existing laws.

The resolution also asks all U.S. sports governing bodies to protect women's sports for biological women and girls.

The "End Child Trafficking Now Act" aims to prevent child trafficking by requiring adults entering the U.S. with a minor to prove their familial relationship through documentation or DNA testing.

The act also criminalizes the act of "recycling" minors, which is defined as adults using the same minor more than once to enter the United States.

The PRINTS Act aims to prevent child trafficking by requiring the Department of Homeland Security to collect fingerprints from noncitizen children under 14 entering the U.S. when trafficking is suspected.

The Act also requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to provide annual reports to Congress and publish monthly data on apprehensions of child traffickers.

The "SAVE Girls Act" aims to combat the smuggling and trafficking of children and young women by authorizing the Attorney General and the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants to states, tribes, local governments, and nonprofits. These grants will primarily focus on preventing the smuggling of individuals aged 12-24 across U.S. borders and supporting those at risk of trafficking. The act allocates $50 million for these grants.

The "Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2025" permits individuals legally authorized to carry a concealed firearm in their home state to do so in any other state that allows concealed carry, provided they possess a valid photo ID and either a concealed carry permit or the legal right to carry without one in their home state. When carrying a concealed handgun in another state, individuals must adhere to the same restrictions imposed on residents of that state. This law does not override state laws regarding the issuance of concealed carry licenses or permits.

The Sunshine Protection Act of 2025 would make daylight saving time permanent across the United States, effectively eliminating the need to change clocks twice a year. It repeals the section of the Uniform Time Act that allows for standard time and adjusts time zone offsets from Greenwich Mean Time. States that previously opted out of daylight saving time would have the option to choose between the new, permanent daylight saving time or the previous standard time.
