Legislative Activity

The "Repeal the NFA Act" proposes the complete elimination of the National Firearms Act (NFA). This legislation would remove federal taxes, registration requirements, and transfer restrictions currently imposed on items such as machine guns, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and silencers.

The Sunset Chevron Act mandates that the Government Accountability Office identify and catalog federal rules previously upheld under the *Chevron* deference doctrine. The bill establishes a rolling expiration schedule for these rules, effectively sunsetting them over time unless reauthorized. Additionally, it streamlines the Congressional review process, allowing Congress to disapprove these specific rules without being restricted by standard legislative deadlines.

The Abolish the ATF Act is a legislative proposal that mandates the immediate dissolution of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. This bill seeks to formally terminate the agency and eliminate its federal oversight functions.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to limit the number of terms a member of Congress can serve. Representatives would be limited to 3 terms and Senators to 2 terms, with specific rules for partial terms. Terms served before the amendment's ratification would not be counted. The amendment must be ratified by three-fourths of the states within seven years to be valid.

The TCJA Permanency Act makes the individual tax reforms of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent, including lowered income tax rates, an increased standard deduction, and an expanded Child Tax Credit. The legislation also solidifies higher exemptions for the Alternative Minimum Tax to protect more households from the parallel tax system. By locking in these provisions, the bill aims to simplify tax filing while providing long-term stability for families, small business owners, and individual taxpayers.

The Land And Social Security Optimization Act (LASSO Act) directs 10% of the revenue generated from activities on public lands managed by the Department of the Interior and the Forest Service to be deposited into the Social Security Trust Fund annually. This act does not authorize increasing prices for activities on public lands, nor does it reduce funds available to states, Indian Tribes, territories, or local governments from revenue generated on public lands.
