Legislative Activity

The 21st Century Worker Act establishes a standardized, three-part framework for classifying workers as either employees or independent contractors. By mandating clear classification criteria, requiring formal worker elections for ambiguous roles, and aligning federal labor and tax laws, the bill aims to provide greater certainty for both businesses and the modern workforce.

The National Constitutional Carry Act establishes a nationwide right for eligible citizens to carry firearms in public for self-defense. This legislation prohibits state and local governments from imposing criminal or civil penalties on the public carry of firearms, effectively invalidating existing local restrictions that conflict with this federal standard.

The PIONEER Act establishes a federal regulatory sandbox program designed to foster innovation by allowing businesses to temporarily test new products or services under limited waivers from federal regulations. Managed by a newly created Office of Federal Regulatory Relief, the program requires rigorous consumer protection disclosures and risk assessments to ensure public safety. Additionally, the Act creates a streamlined process for Congress to review and potentially repeal federal rules that are identified as outdated or unnecessary based on the results of these sandbox tests.

The Upper Price River Watershed Project Act of 2025 authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to convey approximately 124.23 acres of specified Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land to the City of Price, Utah. This transfer is explicitly for the City's use for defined public purposes, overriding standard land disposal regulations. The conveyance is contingent upon a request from the City and is subject to any existing legal rights on the property.

This joint resolution seeks to disapprove the Bureau of Land Management's recent rule regarding the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan. If enacted, this disapproval would nullify the submitted rule, preventing it from taking effect.

The Balance the Highway Trust Fund Act establishes annual spending limits for federal-aid highway programs based on projected Highway Trust Fund receipts.

The Historic Roadways Protection Act prohibits the Department of Interior from using federal funds to finalize or implement certain travel management plans in Utah until the Secretary of Interior certifies that all R. S. 2477 cases have been resolved.

S. 2477 cases refer to legal disputes between Utah and the federal government regarding rights-of-way.

This bill, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE America Act), mandates that individuals must provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections.

Furthermore, the legislation requires states to implement ongoing programs to verify and remove non-citizens from voter rolls.

It repeals the foundational act establishing the Foundation and makes necessary conforming amendments across existing federal laws.

This bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a feasibility study on installing a selective water withdrawal system at Glen Canyon Dam.

The Immediate Access for the Terminally Ill Act provides an option for individuals with certain terminal illnesses to receive disability insurance benefits immediately, without the standard waiting period, though at a reduced benefit amount.

This resolution expresses strong opposition to any attempt by foreign entities, specifically citing the EU's Digital Services Act, to censor or penalize the constitutionally protected speech of United States persons. It finds that foreign regulations attempting to dictate content moderation on U.S. platforms undermine fundamental American free speech rights. The resolution commits the Senate to opposing such extraterritorial censorship and urges a firm response to any imposed penalties.

This Act authorizes the conveyance of approximately 24 acres of specified Federal land within the Dixie National Forest to the Town of Brian Head, Utah, at no cost. The transfer is effective immediately upon enactment of the law. Following the conveyance, the Secretary must update the official boundary of the Dixie National Forest to exclude the transferred parcel.

The Auto Data Privacy and Autonomy Act establishes strict rules for vehicle manufacturers regarding the collection, use, and sharing of data generated by covered vehicles.

The Streamline Transit Projects Act allows large urban transit agencies to assume federal responsibilities for environmental reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for routine projects. Qualified agencies can take over making "categorical exclusion" determinations for designated activities, provided they meet capacity requirements and enter into a formal agreement with the Secretary of Transportation. This reform aims to speed up project delivery by streamlining the environmental compliance process for eligible transit improvements.
