Legislative Activity

The Protect and Serve Act of 2025 establishes a new federal crime for knowingly assaulting law enforcement officers and causing serious bodily injury. This legislation allows for federal prosecution in cases involving interstate commerce or federal officers, with penalties ranging from 10 years to life imprisonment depending on the severity of the offense. Federal intervention is strictly regulated, requiring written certification from the Attorney General to ensure the necessity of federal involvement.

The PRECEPT Nurses Act establishes a $2,000 annual tax credit for nurses and healthcare providers who complete at least 200 hours of clinical preceptorship in designated health professional shortage areas. This initiative aims to strengthen the nursing workforce by incentivizing experienced professionals to mentor nursing students and newly hired nurses. The program is set to run from 2026 through 2032, with mandated reporting to evaluate its impact on clinical training capacity.

The AMERICANS Act of 2025 provides remedies for military service members who faced adverse actions or discharge due to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate. The bill mandates the correction of service records, offers pathways for reinstatement and back pay, and prohibits the Secretary of Defense from issuing future COVID-19 vaccine mandates without explicit congressional approval.

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act amends the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. The bill mandates that states establish procedures to verify citizenship status, remove noncitizens from voter rolls, and share information with federal agencies to ensure election integrity. Additionally, it introduces criminal penalties for registering ineligible individuals and establishes a private right of action against election officials who fail to enforce these citizenship requirements.

The Firearm Industry Non-Discrimination (FIND) Act prohibits federal executive agencies from contracting with businesses that discriminate against firearm entities or trade associations. Under this legislation, contractors must certify that they do not maintain policies that unfairly limit or refuse services to the firearm industry. Violations of these requirements may result in contract termination, suspension, or debarment.

The Whole-Home Repairs Act of 2025 establishes a federal pilot program to provide grants and forgivable loans for essential home repairs, accessibility modifications, and energy-efficiency upgrades. Administered by state and local organizations, the initiative supports both low-income homeowners and small-scale landlords to improve housing habitability and safety. The program aims to preserve affordable housing while streamlining coordination across existing federal, state, and local repair resources.

The Repealing Big Brother Overreach Act seeks to eliminate the Corporate Transparency Act and its associated reporting requirements. By repealing these provisions and making necessary technical corrections to the U.S. Code, the bill aims to remove the federal mandates currently imposed on businesses regarding beneficial ownership disclosure.

The Miracle on Ice Congressional Gold Medal Act authorizes the presentation of Congressional Gold Medals to the 1980 U.S. Olympic Men’s Ice Hockey Team in recognition of their historic victory. This legislation honors the team’s extraordinary achievement, which served as a defining moment in American sports and a source of national inspiration during the Cold War. The medals will be permanently displayed at three prominent institutions dedicated to Olympic and hockey history.

The Thin Blue Line Act amends federal law to designate the killing or targeting of law enforcement officers and first responders as an aggravating factor in death penalty cases. This legislation ensures that crimes committed against these public servants while performing their official duties can be considered by a jury when determining sentencing.

The "No Budget, No Pay Act" mandates that Congress must pass a budget and all regular appropriations bills by October 1 of each fiscal year. If these deadlines are not met, the Act prohibits the payment of salaries to Members of Congress for the duration of the delay. Furthermore, it ensures that any withheld pay cannot be recovered retroactively once the budget is eventually passed.

The Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2025 establishes a national standard allowing individuals to carry concealed handguns across state lines, provided they are legally authorized to carry in their home state. Under this act, visitors must adhere to the host state’s operational laws regarding where and how firearms may be carried. The legislation preserves each state's authority to regulate its own internal permit-issuing processes while ensuring nationwide recognition of valid carry rights.
