Legislative Activity

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.

The Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act of 2025 aims to increase federal regulatory accountability by requiring Congress to approve any "major" rule before it can take effect. Under this legislation, rules with a significant economic impact require a joint resolution of approval from both chambers of Congress to become law. By shifting this authority back to the legislative branch, the Act seeks to ensure greater transparency and oversight of the federal rulemaking process.

The FairTax Act of 2025 proposes a fundamental overhaul of the U.S. tax system by repealing federal income, payroll, estate, and gift taxes starting in 2027. In their place, the legislation establishes a national sales tax on new goods and services, supported by a monthly rebate for qualified families to offset the cost of basic necessities. The bill also transitions tax administration to the Treasury Department and includes a sunset provision that terminates the sales tax if the Sixteenth Amendment is not repealed within seven years.

The "Fentanyl is a WMD Act" mandates the Department of Homeland Security to classify illicit fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction. This directs the Assistant Secretary for the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office to treat illicit fentanyl as such, as defined in the Homeland Security Act of 2002.

The Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2025 mandates a comprehensive audit of the Federal Reserve System by the Comptroller General within one year. Following the audit, a detailed report must be submitted to Congress, including findings and recommendations. This act aims to increase transparency and accountability within the Federal Reserve System by repealing audit limitations.

The First Amendment Accountability Act empowers individuals to sue federal executive branch employees for violating their First Amendment rights while acting under federal authority. This legislation allows victims to seek monetary damages and legal remedies, while explicitly excluding internal federal employment disputes from its scope. Additionally, it provides for the recovery of attorney’s fees for successful plaintiffs to ensure greater accountability for government actions.

The "No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act" aims to withhold certain federal funds from state and local governments deemed "sanctuary jurisdictions" that obstruct the sharing of immigration status information or compliance with detainment requests from Homeland Security. These jurisdictions would be ineligible for federal funds intended to benefit individuals in the U.S. without legal immigration status. The Department of Homeland Security is required to report annually to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees on non-compliant states and local governments.

The Stopping Border Surges Act proposes comprehensive reforms to U.S. immigration policy by tightening asylum eligibility and accelerating the processing of unaccompanied minors. The bill mandates stricter screening standards, expands detention authority for families, and limits legal protections for those seeking asylum. Ultimately, the legislation aims to deter fraudulent claims and expedite removals through more restrictive border and interior enforcement measures.

The "Abortion Is Not Health Care Act of 2025" amends the Internal Revenue Code to specify that expenses paid for an abortion cannot be claimed as a medical expense deduction. This change applies to taxable years starting after the enactment of this Act.
