Legislative Activity

This bill expresses support for the recognition of "Detransition Awareness Day" to increase understanding and support for individuals who have detransitioned or are detransitioning back to their biological sex. It calls for comprehensive mental health services, informed consent regarding the risks of sex trait modification interventions, and extended statutes of limitations for related medical malpractice claims. The bill also urges the Department of Health and Human Services to review and revise guidelines to promote ethical medical standards and protect patient rights. It encourages states to adopt similar resolutions and initiatives to support detransitioning individuals.

The SCREEN Act requires online platforms that host or provide pornographic content to implement technology verification measures to prevent minors from accessing harmful material. It mandates that these platforms use reliable age verification methods, undergo regular audits by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to ensure compliance, and protect user data collected during the verification process. The FTC is responsible for enforcing the Act, and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) must report to Congress on the effectiveness and impact of these measures. This act aims to protect children from the harmful effects of online pornography.

The "No Solar Panels on Fertile Farmland Act of 2025" restricts federal tax credits for solar energy projects built on prime farmland. It amends the Internal Revenue Code to exclude properties on land designated as "prime farmland" by the Secretary of Agriculture from eligibility for residential clean energy, renewable electricity production, energy, clean electricity investment, and clean electricity production credits. This act aims to preserve valuable agricultural land by discouraging the development of solar facilities on fertile farmland.

The "Dignity for Aborted Children Act" requires abortion providers to offer patients the option to take possession of fetal remains for burial or cremation, or to have the provider arrange for interment or cremation. Abortion providers must obtain consent, maintain records, and submit annual reports on abortion procedures and fetal tissue disposal. Non-compliance can result in significant penalties, but patients are protected from prosecution.

The "Ultrasounds Save Lives Act of 2025" mandates that abortion providers must perform an ultrasound, share the results, and provide detailed information about the abortion procedure and the unborn child's development to women seeking an abortion, at least 24 hours before the procedure. It requires a signed informed consent form acknowledging the provided information. Non-compliant providers may face civil penalties and private lawsuits. There are exceptions only for medical emergencies.

The "Second Chance for Moms Act of 2025" requires a warning label on mifepristone indicating its effects may be reversed with progesterone, potentially increasing fetal survival, and provides a hotline number for further information. It also directs the Secretary to establish a 24/7 toll-free hotline for women seeking to reverse the effects of mifepristone, offering referrals exclusively to healthcare providers who offer abortion pill reversal.

The "Parental Notification and Intervention Act of 2025" requires parental notification before an abortion can be performed on an unemancipated minor, with exceptions for medical emergencies or court waivers. It allows parents to sue in federal court to stop an abortion from occurring. States can enact stricter parental notification or intervention laws. The act would take effect immediately upon becoming law.

The "Pregnancy Is Not an Illness Act of 2025" prevents the Department of Health and Human Services from classifying pregnancy as an illness when approving abortion drugs or setting risk management strategies for these drugs. It invalidates any prior abortion drug approvals that were based on classifying pregnancy as an illness, including the approval of mifepristone.
