Legislative Activity

The "Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act" ensures that infants born alive after an abortion receive the same medical care as any other newborn, mandating immediate hospitalization and requiring healthcare practitioners to report any failures to comply. Violators face fines, imprisonment, and potential prosecution for homicide or attempted homicide, while the mother of the child cannot be prosecuted. The bill also allows the woman who had the abortion to file a civil action against anyone who violated the act. It defines abortion and attempts at abortion, and renames "Partial-Birth Abortions" to "Abortions" in relevant sections of the U.S. Code.

The Asylum Accountability Act amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to impose permanent ineligibility for adjustment of status for individuals who fail to appear at their removal proceedings. This legislation removes the current 10-year limitation, ensuring that those who do not comply with court requirements remain permanently ineligible for lawful permanent resident status.

The Promoting Domestic Energy Production Act revises corporate tax accounting rules to incentivize domestic energy investment. By allowing corporations to deduct intangible drilling and development costs when calculating their alternative minimum tax, the bill aims to reduce the tax burden on energy producers.

The Main Street Tax Certainty Act makes the 20% pass-through business income deduction permanent. By removing the current 2025 expiration date, this legislation ensures long-term tax relief for owners of qualified pass-through entities.

The Strengthening our Servicemembers with Milk Act requires the Department of Defense to provide a diverse range of milk options to service members at military dining facilities. The bill also mandates that all milk supplies be sourced exclusively from domestic or non-adversarial entities, prohibiting purchases from companies controlled by foreign adversaries.

The Combat Veterans Pre-Enrollment Act of 2025 establishes a pilot program allowing eligible active-duty service members to pre-enroll in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) patient system before separating from the military. This initiative aims to streamline the transition to VA healthcare by ensuring seamless coverage for veterans immediately upon their departure from service.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to fix the number of Supreme Court justices at nine. For this amendment to be valid, three-fourths of the state legislatures must ratify it within seven years of its submission.

The Foreign Adversary Risk Management (FARM) Act strengthens national security by bringing U.S. agriculture and its supply chains under the oversight of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). By adding the Secretary of Agriculture to the committee and classifying agricultural systems as critical infrastructure, the bill ensures foreign investments in the sector undergo rigorous security reviews. Additionally, the Act mandates annual reporting to Congress to monitor foreign influence, espionage, and potential threats to the U.S. agricultural industry.

The Defending American Jobs and Investment Act establishes a formal enforcement mechanism to counter foreign taxes that are extraterritorial or discriminatory toward U.S. interests. The bill mandates that the Treasury Secretary identify offending countries and engage in bilateral negotiations to seek the repeal of these taxes. Should these policies persist, the Act authorizes escalating retaliatory measures, including increased U.S. tax rates for citizens and corporations of the offending nation, as well as potential federal procurement restrictions.

The "Supporting Veteran Families in Need Act" permanently authorizes financial assistance for supportive services for very low-income veteran families in permanent housing. By establishing ongoing annual funding, this legislation eliminates the need for future reauthorizations, ensuring consistent support for vulnerable veterans and their families.

This bill amends the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act to simplify the legal import of numismatic materials, such as coins and medals. It establishes a clear definition for these collectibles and creates a streamlined process for their entry into the U.S. through a sworn declaration of lawful acquisition. By reducing documentation requirements, the legislation aims to facilitate the lawful trade and collecting of these items while maintaining safeguards against illicit excavations.

The "Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act" amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to deem aliens inadmissible and deportable if they have committed or admitted to acts constituting sex offenses, domestic violence, stalking, child abuse, or violating protection orders. It broadens the definition of crimes against children to include any crime constituting domestic violence.

The Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act of 2025 expands Medicare coverage to include all services legally authorized under a chiropractor’s state license, moving beyond the current restriction limited to manual spinal manipulation. This legislation aligns Medicare benefits with private insurance and other federal health programs to better reflect modern chiropractic practice. To provide these expanded services, chiropractors will be required to complete a one-time training program verified by the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

The NO GOTION Act prohibits companies with ties to China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea from claiming federal green energy tax credits and deductions. By restricting these financial benefits, the bill aims to ensure that U.S. taxpayer-funded incentives are not used to support entities controlled by designated foreign adversaries.

The CONTAINER Act allows border states to place temporary, movable structures on federal land for border security purposes without needing a special use authorization. States must provide 45 days' notice to the relevant federal agency, with placements initially permitted for up to one year. Extensions may be granted in 90-day increments if U.S. Customs and Border Protection determines that operational control of the border has not yet been achieved.

The Veterans Member Business Loan Act amends the Federal Credit Union Act to include loans made to veterans within the definition of "member business loans." This change aims to expand access to capital for veteran-owned businesses by facilitating easier lending through credit unions.

The Qualified Immunity Act of 2025 codifies existing legal protections for law enforcement officers, shielding them from individual liability when their conduct does not violate clearly established law. The bill further ensures that if an officer is found not liable under these standards while acting within the scope of their employment, their employing agency is also protected from liability.

The United States-Taiwan Expedited Double-Tax Relief Act aims to reduce double taxation and encourage economic activity between the U.S. and Taiwan by lowering tax rates on certain income for Taiwanese residents and businesses in the U.S., contingent upon Taiwan offering reciprocal benefits to U.S. individuals and companies. Additionally, the United States-Taiwan Tax Agreement Authorization Act outlines the process for establishing a tax agreement with Taiwan, ensuring congressional oversight and adherence to existing U.S. tax laws, to further reduce double taxation.

Mel’s Law requires colleges and universities that participate in federal student aid programs to establish formal policies for awarding posthumous degrees to students who were in good academic standing at the time of their death. The bill also ensures that accrediting agencies cannot penalize or factor these awards into an institution's accreditation standards.

The FORCE Act prohibits the President and the Secretary of State from removing Cuba from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list. This restriction remains in effect until the administration certifies that Cuba has met the specific democratic and human rights requirements outlined in the LIBERTAD Act of 1996.
