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.

Sarah’s Law mandates the detention of noncitizens who are charged with or convicted of crimes resulting in death or serious bodily injury.

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

The Chiropractic Medicare Coverage Modernization Act of 2025 expands Medicare coverage to include all services legally authorized under a chiropractor’s state license, moving beyond the current restriction limited to manual spinal manipulation. This legislation aligns Medicare benefits with private insurance and other federal health programs to better reflect modern chiropractic practice. To provide these expanded services, chiropractors will be required to complete a one-time training program verified by the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

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.

Furthermore, the bill mandates the destruction of existing federal silencer registration records and updates federal marking requirements for manufacturers.

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 Regulation Reduction Act of 2025 mandates that federal agencies repeal at least three existing regulations before issuing any new rule. For major rules, the legislation further requires that the cost of the new regulation be offset by the cost savings of the repealed rules. Additionally, the bill directs agencies to conduct a comprehensive review to identify and eliminate outdated, duplicative, or ineffective regulatory burdens.

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.

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 FIND Act prohibits federal agencies from contracting with entities that discriminate against the firearm and ammunition industry. It requires federal contractors to certify they do not discriminate against firearm entities and prohibits them from awarding subcontracts to entities that do not provide a similar certification. Violations of these clauses will result in contract termination. The act defines "discriminate" as making judgments or refusing/limiting services based on biased criteria, rather than case-by-case evaluations, empirical data, financial risk, or legal non-compliance.

The First Amendment Accountability Act empowers individuals to sue federal executive branch employees for violating their First Amendment rights while acting under federal authority. This legislation allows victims to seek monetary damages and legal remedies, while explicitly excluding internal federal employment disputes from its scope.
