Legislative Activity

The "Stopping Border Surges Act" aims to reform immigration laws related to unaccompanied alien children and the asylum process. It changes how unaccompanied children and families are processed, focusing on detention standards and eligibility for special immigrant status. The act also modifies asylum procedures, affecting credible fear interviews, application jurisdiction, and penalties for fraud, with the goal of streamlining the system and deterring abuse.

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 FairTax Act of 2025 repeals federal income, payroll, estate, and gift taxes and replaces them with a national sales tax. This would impose a 23% federal sales tax on most goods and services starting in 2027, while providing a monthly sales tax rebate for qualified families. States can administer the federal sales tax if they have a conforming sales tax and agree with the Treasury Department. The Act includes a sunset provision that eliminates the sales tax if the Sixteenth Amendment, which allows Congress to levy an income tax, is not repealed within seven years.

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 "Injunctive Authority Clarification Act of 2025" limits the ability of federal courts to issue injunctions that prevent the enforcement of laws against individuals or entities not directly involved in the lawsuit. This bill amends Title 28 of the U.S. Code to ensure that court orders only apply to parties in the case, unless non-parties are legally represented within the suit.
