Legislative Activity

The "Unborn Child Support Act" allows mothers to seek child support payments starting from the first month of conception. These payments can be collected retroactively and the amount will be determined by a court, considering the best interests of both the mother and child. The mother must consent to paternity establishment, and no measures can risk harm to the unborn child. This act defines "unborn child" as any human being at any stage of development carried in the womb.

The "Criminal Alien Gang Member Removal Act" amends immigration law to define "criminal gang" and broadens the criteria for inadmissibility and deportability to include alien gang members.

The Act also restricts asylum, temporary protected status, special immigrant juvenile visas, and parole eligibility for gang members, and applies retroactively.

The Marc Fischer Memorial Act mandates that the Bureau of Prisons implement a comprehensive strategy to achieve 100% digital scanning of all inmate mail to interdict fentanyl and other synthetic drugs.

Furthermore, it establishes strong enforcement mechanisms, allowing individuals to sue violators and seek financial penalties for non-compliance.

The Ensuring Justice for Victims of Partial-Birth Abortion Act mandates federal investigations into potential violations of the partial-birth abortion ban, including a specific inquiry into the 2022 discovery of fetal remains in Washington, D.C.

Additionally, it directs the Government Accountability Office to review and provide recommendations for strengthening the enforcement of existing federal abortion restrictions.

The Parental Notification and Intervention Act of 2025 mandates that parents or legal guardians be notified 96 hours prior to an abortion performed on an unemancipated minor, with limited exceptions for medical emergencies or documented abuse.

The Fairness for the Trades Act expands 529 college savings plans to allow for tax-free withdrawals to cover the cost of essential business equipment.

The Pregnancy Is Not an Illness Act of 2025 prohibits the FDA and the Department of Health and Human Services from classifying pregnancy as an illness when approving or regulating abortion drugs.

The Dignity for Aborted Children Act mandates that abortion providers offer patients the choice to either personally arrange for the burial or cremation of fetal remains or release them to the provider for such disposal. The bill establishes strict federal requirements for the handling and documentation of these remains, imposing significant civil and criminal penalties on providers who fail to comply. Additionally, it requires providers to submit annual reports to the Department of Health and Human Services regarding abortion procedures and disposal methods.

The Safeguarding American Workers’ Benefits Act updates eligibility requirements for the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit. It mandates that taxpayers and qualifying children provide a valid Social Security number—issued to a U.S. citizen or work-authorized noncitizen—before the tax return due date to claim these benefits.

The Life at Conception Act declares that the constitutional right to life begins at the moment of fertilization, defining all human beings as persons from that point forward.

Additionally, it explicitly prohibits the prosecution of any woman for the death of her unborn child.

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 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.
