Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to submit and publish an annual report detailing the number of individuals deported under this provision.

The Promoting Domestic Energy Production Act amends the corporate alternative minimum tax to allow companies to fully deduct intangible drilling and development costs when calculating their adjusted financial statement income. By modernizing how these expenses are treated, the bill aims to incentivize increased domestic oil and gas production. These changes are set to take effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025.

The Unborn Child Support Act amends the Social Security Act to allow states to establish and enforce child support obligations for unborn children, beginning from the month of conception. Upon the mother's request and consent, biological fathers may be required to provide financial support, with payment amounts determined by a court in consultation with the mother. The legislation ensures these requirements remain mandatory for states, prohibiting any waivers that would bypass these enforcement duties.

The Defund Planned Parenthood Act seeks to prohibit the allocation of any federal funding to the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its affiliates. This legislation aims to restrict these organizations from receiving taxpayer dollars, regardless of existing provisions that might otherwise permit such funding.

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 hospital transport 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 is protected from prosecution. The bill also allows the woman on whom the abortion was performed to file a civil action against anyone who violated the requirements if a child was born alive.

The Foreign Adversary Risk Management (FARM) Act strengthens national security by granting the Secretary of Agriculture a seat on the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS).

This resolution honors Mississippi's Gestational Age Act and Representative Becky Currie's role in the Supreme Court's Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade. It recognizes the decision to return the authority to regulate abortion to the states and expresses gratitude to states enacting laws to protect mothers and unborn children.

The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2025 prohibits the use of federal funds for abortion services and federally subsidized health insurance plans that include abortion coverage.

Exceptions are provided for cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother.

The Ensuring Accurate and Complete Abortion Data Reporting Act of 2025 mandates that states submit standardized, comprehensive abortion data to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to maintain eligibility for federal Medicaid funding for family planning services. The bill establishes a national surveillance system to collect and cross-tabulate specific demographic and procedural data, requiring the Secretary of Health and Human Services to publish an annual report on the findings. This legislation aims to address current inconsistencies in state reporting and ensure the availability of accurate statistical data for public health and policy analysis.

The Accelerate Long-term Investment Growth Now (ALIGN) Act permanently allows businesses to immediately deduct the full cost of qualifying property in the year it is placed in service. By establishing a permanent 100% bonus depreciation rate, this legislation eliminates scheduled phase-downs and simplifies tax code requirements. These changes apply retroactively to property placed in service after September 27, 2017, to encourage sustained capital investment.

The Justice for Victims of Sanctuary Cities Act of 2025 allows victims of certain crimes committed by undocumented immigrants to sue state and local "sanctuary jurisdictions" for damages if those jurisdictions failed to comply with federal immigration detainers.

Additionally, the bill provides liability protections for local law enforcement officers who cooperate with federal immigration authorities.

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 "No Retaining Every Gun In a System That Restricts Your Rights Act" mandates the destruction of all firearm transaction records currently held by the ATF from discontinued gun businesses. Additionally, the bill amends federal law to eliminate the requirement for future firearm dealers to submit their transaction records to the government upon closing. The ATF is further required to submit a report to Congress confirming the number of records destroyed.

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 Natural Gas Tax Repeal Act seeks to eliminate Section 136 of the Clean Air Act, effectively repealing the associated greenhouse gas emissions charge. Additionally, the bill mandates the rescission of all unobligated funds previously allocated to the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund.

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 Dismantle Iran’s Proxy Act of 2025 mandates that the President designate Ansarallah (the Houthi movement) as a foreign terrorist organization and impose targeted sanctions on its leadership and affiliates. The bill further requires the administration to develop a comprehensive strategy to restore freedom of navigation in the Red Sea and degrade the group's offensive capabilities. Additionally, it mandates a formal report on how Ansarallah’s actions obstruct the delivery of humanitarian aid in Yemen.

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.

The medals will be permanently displayed at three prominent institutions dedicated to Olympic and hockey history.

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 FAIR PREP Act of 2025 prohibits the IRS from developing or operating its own electronic tax preparation and filing services, effectively ending programs like the Direct File pilot. The bill mandates that the IRS focus on its traditional administrative roles while preserving existing partnerships, such as the IRS Free File Program. By restricting the agency's ability to act as a tax preparer, the legislation seeks to ensure that tax filing services remain primarily within the private sector.
