Legislative Activity

The Educational Choice for Children Act of 2025 establishes a federal tax credit for donations to scholarship-granting organizations, which provide financial assistance for K-12 educational expenses. This initiative aims to expand school choice by helping eligible families cover costs such as tuition, tutoring, and educational therapies. The bill also includes robust protections to ensure the autonomy of participating private and religious schools and the freedom of parents to direct their children's education.

The Critical Access Hospital Relief Act of 2025 eliminates the Medicare requirement that physicians certify a patient will be discharged or transferred within 96 hours to receive inpatient payment. By removing this administrative barrier, the bill aims to reduce regulatory burdens on small, rural hospitals. This change is set to take effect for services furnished on or after January 1, 2026.

The FAIR PREP Act of 2025 prohibits the IRS from developing or operating its own electronic tax preparation and filing services. The bill restricts the Treasury Secretary from preparing tax returns or refund claims, while explicitly protecting existing programs like IRS Free File and volunteer tax assistance services. Additionally, it prevents the use of federal funds for the development of new government-run tax preparation systems without explicit congressional authorization.

The Family and Small Business Taxpayer Protection Act rescinds unobligated funding previously appropriated to the Internal Revenue Service. This legislation effectively cancels these unused funds and returns them to the U.S. Treasury.
