Legislative Activity

The No Regulation Through Litigation Act of 2025 prevents federal agencies from bypassing the standard rulemaking process through legal settlements.

The Safeguarding American Workers’ Benefits Act updates eligibility requirements for the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit.

These changes are set to take effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025.

The CBO Show Your Work Act mandates that the Congressional Budget Office publicly release the models, data, and computational details used to estimate the fiscal and economic impacts of legislation.

The National Constitutional Carry Act seeks to protect the Second Amendment right of law-abiding citizens to carry firearms in public for self-defense.

The "End the Deep State Act" aims to increase executive branch accountability by reclassifying certain federal positions involved in policy-making and confidential work into a new "Schedule PolicyCareer" category.

Additionally, the bill mandates regular agency reviews to identify positions for this new classification and requires employees in these roles to faithfully implement administration policies.

The Birthright Citizenship Act of 2025 proposes to limit automatic birthright citizenship to children born in the United States who have at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen, a lawful permanent resident, or an alien serving in the U.S. armed forces. This legislation would exclude children born to parents without legal status or those on temporary visas from receiving automatic citizenship. These changes would apply only to individuals born on or after the date of the Act's enactment.

The "No Retaining Every Gun In a System That Restricts Your Rights Act" mandates the destruction of all firearm transaction records currently held by the ATF from discontinued businesses.

The "Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act" amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to deem aliens inadmissible and deportable if they have committed or admitted to acts constituting sex offenses, domestic violence, stalking, child abuse, or violating protection orders. It broadens the definition of crimes against children to include any crime constituting domestic violence.

The SHOW UP Act of 2025 requires executive agencies to revert their telework policies to pre-pandemic levels by December 31, 2019. Any future expansion of telework must be supported by a comprehensive impact study and certified by the Office of Personnel Management to ensure it improves mission performance and reduces agency costs.

The Make the Migrant Protection Protocols Mandatory Act of 2025 amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to require, rather than permit, the return of certain noncitizens to Mexico or Canada while their immigration proceedings are pending. This legislation removes discretionary authority from the Department of Homeland Security, effectively mandating the implementation of the "Remain in Mexico" policy.

The Offshore Lands Authorities Act of 2025 nullifies several previous Presidential withdrawals of offshore lands, effectively reopening those areas to potential mineral leasing.

The "No Welfare for the Wealthy Act of 2025" amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to strictly enforce income and resource eligibility requirements for food assistance benefits.

These changes will take effect one year following the date of enactment.

The Hearing Protection Act aims to remove silencers from the purview of the National Firearms Act (NFA) by treating them similarly to standard firearms under federal tax law.

The End U.N. Censorship Act prohibits the use of federal funds to support the United Nations' iVerify platform or any other international initiatives that label or monitor speech as misinformation, disinformation, or malinformation.
