Legislative Activity

This bill authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to mint and issue up to 400,000 special one-dollar silver commemorative coins honoring the late activist Charles "Charlie" Kirk. The coins must feature his likeness on the obverse and the inscription "well done, good and faithful servant" on the reverse. All costs associated with the production and sale of these coins must be covered by the revenue generated, ensuring no net cost to the U.S. Treasury.

The Health Professionals Scholarship Program Improvement Act of 2025 aims to strengthen the VA's healthcare workforce by mandating that the VA offer full-time clinical employment contracts to scholarship graduates within 90 days of their qualification. Additionally, this Act establishes a comprehensive, property-wide ban on all smoking and the use of electronic nicotine delivery systems within Veterans Health Administration facilities. The VA must also report regularly to Congress on the success of these new placement timelines.

The PROVE Act establishes new requirements for non-military U.S. citizens living overseas who wish to vote in federal elections. These voters must now provide verifiable proof of a current in-state mailing address, which can belong to themselves, a spouse, parent, or legal guardian, to receive an absentee ballot. Voters who fail to provide this proof for a federal general election may instead vote in the District of Columbia election for that cycle. This new rule takes effect starting with elections held in 2026.

The Preventing Ranked Choice Corruption Act explicitly bans the use of ranked choice voting (RCV) in all federal elections, including those for President, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. This prohibition amends the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to ensure only traditional voting methods are used for federal races nationwide. The ban will take effect for all federal elections held in 2026 and beyond.

This bill seeks to permanently establish the directives of Executive Order 14248 into federal law. By codifying this order, the legislation ensures the measures aimed at preserving and protecting the integrity of American elections remain in effect. This action elevates the existing presidential order to the full force and effect of statutory law.

This bill establishes the voluntary Congressional Fitness Challenge, a national program designed to promote physical fitness among eligible participants aged 6 to 17. The Challenge requires participants to complete five specific fitness tests, with performance benchmarks set based on age and gender. Successful participants who meet performance goals will receive official recognition certificates signed by Congressional leadership. The legislation also outlines administrative rules for testing, data collection, and allows lawmakers to use office funds for related activities.

The VOTE Act, or Voting Only Through English Act, restricts federal election funding for any state that provides ballots in languages other than English for federal elections. This bill eliminates existing federal requirements that mandate bilingual ballots or assistance in certain jurisdictions. Consequently, states choosing to offer multilingual ballots risk losing federal election administration funds for the entire fiscal year.

The Veterans Readiness and Employment Transparency Act of 2025 aims to improve outreach by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for training and rehabilitation programs for veterans with service-connected disabilities by establishing a dedicated phone number and contact information on regional office websites. It also mandates monthly Q&A sessions between VA employees and school certifying officials, as well as in-person briefings at educational institutions. The Act requires the Secretary to submit an annual report on vocational rehabilitation program extensions and approve or reject extension requests within 30 days.

This resolution establishes uniform standards for the display of flags within House of Representatives facilities, excluding individual Members' personal offices. It explicitly defines the authorized flags permitted for display and designates the Committee on House Administration and the Sergeant at Arms to oversee compliance and manage temporary exceptions.

This bill mandates the President to designate Ansarallah (the Houthi movement) as a foreign terrorist organization within 30 days. It further requires the President to determine and report to Congress if specific individuals are officials, agents, or affiliates of Ansarallah within 30 days of the designation.

This resolution directs the Chief Administrative Officer of the House to immediately cease the distribution of *China Daily* and other Chinese Communist Party-controlled publications within all House facilities and mail systems. By prohibiting these materials, the bill aims to protect the institution from foreign propaganda and influence operations. The policy does not restrict private receipt of these materials by Members or staff, nor does it affect access through research facilities or the Library of Congress.
