The Passport Notification Act of 2025 requires the Department of State to notify U.S. passport holders at least 180 days before their documents expire. These notifications will provide citizens with a formal expiration warning and clear instructions on the renewal process. This measure aims to ensure travelers are better prepared to maintain valid documentation for international travel.

The Religious Insignia on Dog Tags Act directs the Department of Defense to update its regulations to allow for the combination of official military trademarks with religious insignia on commercially sold identification tags. This legislation ensures that lawful trademark licensees can produce and sell these items, with the policy change applied retroactively to September 2013.

This bill urges the NCAA to reverse its current transgender athlete policy, arguing it discriminates against female athletes. It advocates for policies that ensure biological females compete against biological females in collegiate sports. The bill also calls on all sports governing bodies in the U.S. to protect women's sports.

The CCP Visa Disclosure Act of 2025 requires applicants and current holders of F, M, and J visas to disclose any funding received from the Chinese government, the Chinese Communist Party, or their affiliated entities. This legislation mandates updates to visa application forms and establishes ongoing reporting requirements to ensure transparency regarding foreign financial support. Failure to comply with these disclosure obligations may result in the revocation of visa status.

The "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025" amends Title IX to prohibit schools receiving federal funds from allowing males to participate in female athletic programs. Sex is defined as based on reproductive biology and genetics at birth. The bill allows males to train with female teams if it doesn't deprive females of opportunities. It also requires a study on the benefits lost to women when males participate in female sports.

The Veterans’ True Choice Act of 2025 allows veterans with service-connected disabilities (VA priority groups 1, 2, or 3) to enroll in TRICARE Select or TRICARE for Life as an alternative to VA health care. By choosing TRICARE, these veterans would transition out of the VA patient enrollment system, with the VA reimbursing the Department of Defense for the associated costs. This legislation aims to provide eligible veterans with greater flexibility and expanded access to their health care providers.

The "Fast Lane for Youths Act" (FLY Act) directs the FAA and TSA to create a streamlined system allowing parents, guardians, and caregivers to accompany minors or passengers needing assistance directly to their departure gates. This initiative aims to simplify airport access for those supporting travelers who require extra help.

The Make Marriage Great Again Act of 2025 aims to eliminate the federal income tax "marriage penalty" by doubling the tax bracket thresholds for married couples filing jointly. By aligning these brackets with those of single filers, the bill ensures that married couples are not taxed more heavily than two unmarried individuals with the same combined income.
