Legislative Activity

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. This legislation honors the team’s extraordinary achievement, which served as a defining moment in American sports and a source of national inspiration during the Cold War. 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 Thin Blue Line Act amends federal law to designate the killing or targeting of law enforcement officers and first responders as an aggravating factor in death penalty cases. This legislation ensures that crimes committed against these public servants while performing their official duties can be considered by a jury when determining sentencing.

The "No Budget, No Pay Act" mandates that Congress must pass a budget and all regular appropriations bills by October 1 of each fiscal year. If these deadlines are not met, the Act prohibits the payment of salaries to Members of Congress for the duration of the delay. Furthermore, it ensures that any withheld pay cannot be recovered retroactively once the budget is eventually passed.

The Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2025 establishes a national standard allowing individuals to carry concealed handguns across state lines, provided they are legally authorized to carry in their home state. Under this act, visitors must adhere to the host state’s operational laws regarding where and how firearms may be carried. The legislation preserves each state's authority to regulate its own internal permit-issuing processes while ensuring nationwide recognition of valid carry rights.

The STOP MADURO Act of 2025 authorizes a reward of up to $100 million for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Nicolás Maduro Moros. This reward is to be funded exclusively through the liquidation of assets seized from Maduro and his regime officials under U.S. sanctions.

The Sunshine Protection Act of 2025 proposes making daylight saving time the permanent, year-round standard time across the United States. This change would eliminate the need to biannually "spring forward" and "fall back" by shifting all time zones forward by one hour. States currently exempt from daylight saving time would retain the option to remain on standard time.
