This bill terminates the Department of Education, effectively eliminating the department on December 31, 2026.

The "Ensuring Justice for Victims of Partial-Birth Abortion Act" mandates the Attorney General to investigate potential violations of the partial-birth abortion ban, including the remains of five babies discovered in Washington, D.C., and requires mandatory reporting of violations by healthcare workers. It also directs the Attorney General to produce an annual report on enforcement actions related to the partial-birth abortion ban and tasks the Comptroller General with reviewing past enforcement actions and providing recommendations for improvement.

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 "287(g) Program Protection Act" amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to mandate that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) enter into agreements with states and their subdivisions, enabling their law enforcement officers to perform certain immigration enforcement functions, provided they meet DHS standards. It requires DHS to justify denials of state requests, prohibits limits on the number of agreements, and ensures agreements accommodate various enforcement models preferred by the states. The Act also establishes appeal processes for agreement terminations, mandates uniform training standards, and directs DHS to publish annual performance reports and recruitment plans for the 287(g) program.

The "Personalized Care Act of 2025" expands Health Savings Account (HSA) eligibility, increases contribution limits, and allows HSA funds to be used for a broader range of healthcare expenses, including health plan premiums and healthcare sharing ministry fees. It also reduces the penalty for non-qualified HSA distributions and clarifies the treatment of medical care service arrangements and periodic provider fees. These changes aim to provide individuals with greater flexibility and control over their healthcare spending and coverage.

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.

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 "Securing America's Land from Foreign Interference Act" prohibits members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and entities under CCP control from purchasing public or private real estate within the United States and its territories. This includes the 50 states, Washington DC, and US territories.

The "PROTECTS Act of 2025" prohibits federal funds from being used for gender transition procedures for individuals under 18, including surgeries and hormone therapies, with exceptions for certain medical conditions and genetic disorders. The bill defines "sex" as biologically determined male or female based on reproductive systems.

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 "CBO Show Your Work Act" mandates the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to publicly release the fiscal, policy, and data models used for cost estimates of legislation, along with any updates. This allows for transparency and replication of CBO's analyses by external parties. The CBO must also disclose data, programs, assumptions, and computational details used in preparing cost estimates, while protecting confidential data by providing detailed variable lists, statistics, and contact information for data access.

The "Protecting Life in Health Savings Accounts Act" restricts the use of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and similar health accounts for abortion expenses, starting in 2026. It provides exceptions for abortions in cases of rape, incest, or to save the woman's life, with physician certification required.

This bill disapproves and nullifies the Environmental Protection Agency's rule concerning the phasedown of hydrofluorocarbons, specifically addressing the management of certain hydrofluorocarbons and their substitutes as outlined in the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act of 2020.

The "No Abortion Coverage for Medicaid Act" seeks to codify the Hyde Amendment by ensuring that federal Medicaid funds are not used for abortions or health coverage that includes abortion services. This includes prohibiting the use of federal funds for travel or lodging related to obtaining an abortion. Exceptions are made only in cases of rape, incest, to save the mother's life, or for the treatment of a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.

The "Life at Conception Act" declares that the right to life, as guaranteed by the Constitution, is vested in each human being, both born and preborn, from fertilization onward. This act defines "human being" as every member of the species homo sapiens at all stages of life. Notably, the act specifies that no woman shall be prosecuted 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 "No Taxpayer Funding for the U.N. Population Fund Act" prohibits U.S. taxpayer dollars from being contributed to the United Nations Population Fund. This includes both direct and indirect contributions from the Department of State, as well as any other federal department or agency.

This bill would rename the Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia as the "Donald J. Trump International Airport." It would apply to all federal laws, regulations, maps, documents and records.

The FAIR Act of 2025 prohibits the federal government and recipients of federal aid from discriminating or granting preferential treatment based on race, color, or national origin in federal contracts, employment, and programs. It requires federal agencies to review and update their policies to comply with the Act and allows individuals harmed by violations to sue for relief. The Act does not retroactively affect pending legal cases or existing contracts and subcontracts. It also clarifies that the Act does not alter existing immigration or nationality laws.

The "National Constitutional Carry Act" aims to protect the Second Amendment rights of individuals to carry firearms in public for self-defense, as affirmed by Supreme Court decisions. It prevents state and local governments from restricting the carrying of firearms by legal U.S. citizens, whether residents or non-residents, in any public place, with exceptions for private property where firearms are prohibited and places with firearm screening. This act asserts that any state or local laws conflicting with this provision will be rendered ineffective.
