The Defending Domestic Orange Juice Production Act of 2025 establishes a federal quality standard requiring pasteurized orange juice to contain at least 10.0 percent orange juice soluble solids by weight. This measure ensures product consistency by excluding added sweeteners from the calculation of these solids.

The Stop the Censorship Act amends Section 230 to limit the liability protections of online service providers, restricting their ability to unilaterally remove content to only that which is unlawful. While narrowing provider-initiated censorship, the bill preserves immunity for platforms that provide users with the tools to personally filter and curate their own online experience.

The Disaster Assistance Fairness Act amends the Stafford Act to ensure that residential common interest communities—including condominiums, housing cooperatives, and manufactured housing communities—can access federal disaster relief. The bill authorizes federal assistance for debris removal on private community property and allows for the repair of essential shared infrastructure following a major disaster.

This bill proposes the complete termination of the United States Department of Education. If enacted, the agency would be officially dissolved on December 31, 2026.

The Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act of 2025 aims to support healthcare providers by extending Medicare payment adjustments through the end of 2025. Specifically, the bill provides a 6.62 percent payment increase for services rendered between April 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025, to help practitioners adjust to evolving Medicare payment policies.

The PROTECTS Act of 2025 prohibits the use of federal funds to provide, refer, or reimburse gender transition procedures—including surgeries, hormone therapies, and puberty blockers—for individuals under the age of 18. The bill includes specific exceptions for medically necessary treatments related to genetic disorders of sex development or other physical health conditions.

The Life at Conception Act declares that the constitutional right to life begins at the moment of fertilization, defining all human beings as persons from that point forward. The bill establishes legal personhood for every member of the species *homo sapiens* at all stages of development. Additionally, it explicitly prohibits the prosecution of any woman 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 FAIR Act of 2025 prohibits the federal government, federal contractors, and recipients of federal aid from practicing intentional discrimination or granting preferential treatment based on race, color, or national origin. The legislation mandates a comprehensive review of existing federal policies to ensure compliance and provides a legal pathway for individuals to seek remedies for violations.

The Wildlife Movement Through Partnerships Act of 2025 establishes grant and research programs to improve habitat connectivity and conserve migration corridors for big game and other native wildlife. By fostering collaboration between federal, state, tribal, and private partners, the bill provides funding for voluntary conservation projects and scientific mapping efforts. The legislation ensures these initiatives remain non-regulatory, protecting private property rights and existing land-use authorities while enhancing wildlife movement across the landscape.

The **End Unaccountable Amnesty Act** seeks to restrict executive authority over immigration by shifting Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and parole designations to congressional oversight. The bill also tightens eligibility for unaccompanied minors, repeals "cancellation of removal" as a form of immigration relief, and prohibits the use of certain DHS-issued documents for air travel. Additionally, it imposes strict annual caps on parole grants and mandates the removal of sponsors who are unlawfully present in the United States.

The Main Street Tax Certainty Act makes the 20% pass-through business income deduction permanent. By removing the current 2025 expiration date, this legislation ensures long-term tax relief for owners of qualified pass-through entities.

The Promoting Domestic Energy Production Act revises corporate tax accounting rules to incentivize domestic energy investment. By allowing corporations to deduct intangible drilling and development costs when calculating their alternative minimum tax, the bill aims to reduce the tax burden on energy producers.

The SAVE Moms and Babies Act of 2025 prohibits the FDA from approving new abortion drugs and restricts the use of existing ones. The bill mandates strict safety protocols, including in-person administration requirements, expanded adverse event reporting, and limitations on gestational age for drug use.

The Protect Minors from Medical Malpractice Act of 2025 establishes a private right of action allowing individuals to sue medical practitioners for injuries resulting from gender-transition procedures performed while they were minors. The bill also protects medical providers from being mandated to perform these procedures and prohibits federal funding for states that require such interventions.

The "Protecting Americans Right To Silence Act of 2025" or the "PARTS Act of 2025" amends the definition of "firearm silencer" and "firearm muffler" under federal law. The updated definition includes any device designed to silence or muffle a portable firearm, whether attached directly or through other devices. It also includes the primary housing or structure for sound-reduction components of such devices.

The "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2025" seeks to prohibit the use of federal funds for abortions and for health plans that cover abortions, while allowing individuals and entities to purchase separate abortion coverage with non-federal funds. It clarifies that premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) cannot be used for health plans that include abortion coverage. The Act also revises notice requirements for health plans, mandating clear disclosure of abortion coverage and any associated premium surcharges to enrollees. Exceptions to the funding restrictions are included for cases of rape, incest, or when the mother's life is in danger.

The Protect Funding for Women’s Health Care Act prohibits federal funding for the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its affiliates. The bill ensures that these redirected funds remain available to other eligible healthcare providers to maintain access to essential services, such as cancer screenings, prenatal care, and family planning.

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 Strengthening Pathways to Health Professions Act aims to encourage more individuals to enter the healthcare field by providing significant tax relief. This bill specifically makes certain loan repayments and scholarships received through various Public Health Service and state programs tax-free income. These changes apply to programs designed to increase the number of health professionals serving in underserved areas.
