The "Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2025" permits individuals legally authorized to carry a concealed firearm in their home state to do so in any other state that allows concealed carry, provided they possess a valid photo ID and either a concealed carry permit or the legal right to carry without one in their home state. When carrying a concealed handgun in another state, individuals must adhere to the same restrictions imposed on residents of that state. This law does not override state laws regarding the issuance of concealed carry licenses or permits.

The "End Child Trafficking Now Act" aims to prevent child trafficking by requiring adults entering the U.S. with a minor to prove their familial relationship through documentation or DNA testing. Refusal to take a DNA test after providing insufficient evidence results in inadmissibility, and the child will be treated as an unaccompanied alien. The act also criminalizes the act of "recycling" minors, which is defined as adults using the same minor more than once to enter the United States.
