The Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2025 imposes a one-year moratorium on federal funding for Planned Parenthood Federation of America, its affiliates, and its clinics unless they certify that they will not perform abortions. The bill redirects these funds to community health centers to ensure continued access to women’s health services. It includes specific exceptions for cases of rape, incest, or life-threatening medical conditions.

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.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment mandating a balanced federal budget, requiring that government spending not exceed income unless a supermajority in Congress approves. It also necessitates a supermajority to increase the national debt and a majority vote to raise revenue. The amendment includes exceptions for declared wars or serious military threats and would take effect five years after ratification, tasking Congress with its enforcement.
