It exempts patients from liability and allows stricter state laws to remain in effect. The bill aligns with pro-life efforts to regulate abortion practices but faces opposition from pro-choice advocates. It is currently in committee review with uncertain prospects.

The AMMO Act seeks to regulate ammunition sales by requiring federal licensing for dealers, mandating recordkeeping and background checks, prohibiting straw purchases, and limiting bulk sales. It aims to enhance public safety by reducing illegal ammunition access while facing potential opposition over Second Amendment concerns. The bill includes strict penalties for violations and allocates funding for NICS system upgrades. Its success depends on Senate Judiciary Committee approval and broader political support.

The "Keeping Gun Dealers Honest Act of 2025" aims to enhance accountability for firearms dealers by increasing inspections, imposing stricter penalties, and expanding ATF authority.

The bill aims to reduce accidental shootings and unauthorized access to firearms. It faces potential opposition from gun rights groups and legal challenges. The legislation is currently in committee review.

The ATF DATA Act mandates the ATF to publish annual reports on firearm trace data, including details on trafficking patterns, "ghost guns," and high-risk dealers. It aims to enhance transparency and accountability in firearm sales to combat illegal trafficking. The bill faces potential legal and political hurdles, including opposition over privacy concerns. If passed, it could reshape law enforcement strategies and gun policy debates.

The "End Domestic Terrorism Act" (H.R. 4257) proposes stricter penalties for mass killings involving machineguns or certain semiautomatic weapons, expands definitions of prohibited firearms, and mandates detailed reporting on such incidents. Sponsored by Rep. Seth Moulton, the bill aims to enhance federal oversight and accountability in domestic terrorism cases. It includes provisions for life imprisonment for offenders and requires annual DOJ reports on demographics and weapon types used. The bill is currently under review by the House Judiciary Committee.

This bill seeks to fully repeal the firearm-related provisions of the 2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It would roll back enhanced background checks for young adults, close the "boyfriend loophole" for domestic abusers, and eliminate specific federal crimes for straw purchasing and gun trafficking. The legislation also repeals statutory authority for state crisis intervention programs, including "red flag" law grants. It is a partisan Republican effort with very low prospects of becoming law in the current Congress.

This House resolution formally recognizes Israel's military actions in Gaza as genocide. It calls for the U.S. to halt all military aid and arms transfers to Israel, impose sanctions, and cooperate with international courts investigating the conflict. The resolution also demands robust funding for humanitarian aid in Gaza. As a simple resolution, its passage would represent a major symbolic shift in congressional stance but would not create binding law.

This bill, the "No Aid for Illegal Entry Act," would prohibit the use of federal funds by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to provide legal services, shelter, or transportation to undocumented adults. It also bars the Department of the Interior from engaging in any immigration-related activities. An explicit exception is made for services provided to minors under 18. The legislation aims to restrict support services for individuals without lawful immigration status.

This bill, the Citizen Ballot Protection Act, would amend federal law to explicitly allow states to require proof of U.S. citizenship from individuals using the federal mail-in voter registration form. It seeks to override a previous Supreme Court decision that found such state requirements were preempted by federal law. Proponents argue it protects election integrity by preventing non-citizen voting, while opponents contend it could disenfranchise eligible citizens who lack immediate access to documents. The bill represents a significant proposed change to the National Voter Registration Act.

This bill establishes a national mandate for 100% renewable retail electricity by 2035 and sets cumulative energy efficiency targets for utilities. It directs the EPA to set legally binding, science-based greenhouse gas reduction targets to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. The legislation grants significant regulatory authority to federal agencies to implement these goals through market-based and performance standards. It is designed to rapidly transform the U.S. energy sector and re-establish national leadership on climate change.

This bill seeks to strengthen the ATF's enforcement powers by repealing numerous long-standing congressional restrictions on its operations. Key changes would allow the ATF to create a centralized gun dealer database, conduct more frequent inspections, and share firearms trace data with researchers and the public. It would also lower the legal standard for revoking gun dealer licenses and allow the retention of background check records. The legislation represents a significant shift in federal gun policy, aiming to enhance crime-fighting tools while facing strong political opposition.

The PAUSE Act of 2025 would impose a near-total halt on all U.S. immigration, including visa issuances and status adjustments, until Congress enacts sweeping reforms. These required reforms include restricting birthright citizenship, limiting family-sponsored immigration, barring public benefits for non-citizens, and excluding individuals based on religion or political affiliation. The bill also proposes terminating the OPT program for international students, ending the Diversity Visa lottery, and imposing a $100,000 fee on H-1B visa petitions. Its provisions face significant constitutional challenges and would drastically reshape legal immigration.

This bill mandates the expedited removal and detention of non-citizens who are determined to be gang members, members of foreign terrorist organizations, or who have been convicted of a wide range of crimes, including any felony or misdemeanor against a newly defined "vulnerable group." It significantly expands the current expedited removal process, which is typically limited by time and location, to apply anywhere in the United States. The legislation also explicitly bars individuals subject to this process from receiving withholding of removal, a protection against return to persecution. This represents a major procedural shift, accelerating deportations while limiting judicial review and raising potential humanitarian concerns.

This bill would prohibit any federal funds from being used to assist individuals without lawful immigration status in accessing abortion services or related support expenses like travel and lodging. It defines "covered abortion services" broadly to include logistical and supportive care costs. The legislation aims to create a new restriction beyond existing laws like the Hyde Amendment by targeting a specific population. Its introduction reflects ongoing political efforts to link abortion policy with immigration enforcement.

This bill seeks to expand access to Short-Term Limited Duration Insurance (STLDI) by redefining it at the federal level to allow plans to last up to 12 months initially and up to 3 years total with renewals. The change aims to provide a lower-cost alternative to Affordable Care Act (ACA) plans for individuals in transitional periods. Critics warn it could segment the insurance market, drawing healthier people away from ACA marketplaces and raising premiums for those who remain. States would retain the power to impose stricter regulations or bans on these less comprehensive plans.

This bill seeks to double the annual H-1B visa cap from 65,000 to 130,000 and eliminate the separate 20,000-visa cap for holders of U.S. advanced degrees. It also raises the thresholds for defining an "H-1B-dependent employer," reducing regulatory requirements for many companies. Additionally, it establishes a new $125 million grant program to strengthen domestic STEM education. The combined approach aims to address high-skilled labor shortages while investing in the long-term U.S. workforce.

This bill establishes a formal U.S. process to deter state-sponsored cyberattacks by requiring the President to designate foreign "Critical Cyber Threat Actors" and impose mandatory sanctions against them. It also directs the creation of a National Attribution Framework to standardize how the government attributes cyber incidents. The legislation targets not only direct attackers but also entities that provide them support or commercially benefit from stolen data. Its goal is to impose predictable and significant costs on adversaries engaging in malicious cyber activities against American interests.

This bill prohibits data brokers from collecting, selling, or maintaining the personal data of individuals under 18. It mandates that brokers delete existing minor data and establish a public mechanism for teens and parents to request deletion. The bill is enforced by the FTC, state attorneys general, and through a private right of action that allows individuals to sue for statutory damages. It aims to create a strong federal protection against the commercial trade of minors' personal information.

The House resolution formally recognizes the 1932-1933 Ukrainian famine, known as the Holodomor, as a genocide engineered by the Soviet Union. It condemns the historical Soviet policies that caused the famine and extends sympathy to victims and survivors. The resolution also condemns current Russian aggression under Vladimir Putin, explicitly linking it to a history of repression against Ukraine. Its passage would serve as a symbolic statement of historical acknowledgment and reinforce support for Ukraine.

This bill, the Stop Illegal Fishing Act, mandates the U.S. President to impose sanctions on foreign individuals and vessels engaged in illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. It explicitly identifies China as the world's primary perpetrator of IUU fishing, which the bill links to environmental harm, economic damage, and human rights abuses like forced labor. The required sanctions include asset freezes and visa bans. The legislation also requires regular reports to Congress on its implementation.

This bill, the Deepfake Liability Act, creates new legal obligations for online platforms to combat cyberstalking and intimate privacy violations, including nonconsensual deepfakes. It conditions a platform's liability shield under Section 230 on implementing a "reasonable process" for handling such content, including a 48-hour takedown requirement. The bill expands definitions to cover AI-generated sexually explicit forgeries and removes certain public interest exceptions for this content. It grants the Federal Trade Commission new rulemaking authority to enforce these standards.

This bill, the "Ban AI Denials in Medicare Act," prohibits the federal government from implementing or testing Medicare payment models that use prior authorization, including through artificial intelligence. It specifically blocks the proposed WISeR model and amends law to permanently ban such models in traditional Medicare. The goal is to prevent care delays and administrative burdens for patients and providers. It represents a significant restriction on the authority of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation.

This bill amends immigration law to grant non-detained individuals in removal proceedings the right to request a virtual hearing, which the judge must grant. It aims to reduce logistical burdens and improve access to the court system. The right does not apply to individuals in detention. The bill formalizes a practice from the pandemic, shifting discretion from the judge to the respondent.

This bill amends the Clean Air Act to make it easier for states to exclude air pollution data from prescribed fires and similar wildfire mitigation actions when the EPA determines if an area meets air quality standards. It requires the EPA to revise its rules within 18 months to formally include these mitigation actions in the "exceptional events" process and creates a public tracking website for related petitions. The changes aim to remove regulatory disincentives for using controlled burns but could lead to areas being classified as meeting clean air standards despite recorded pollution spikes.

This bill proposes a complete, 10-year moratorium on admitting all foreign nationals into the United States, with no explicit exceptions for any visa category. It would effectively shut down the legal immigration system, including family, employment, student, and humanitarian pathways. The legislation is considered a symbolic, maximalist proposal with a very low likelihood of passage. It has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee, where no further action has been taken.

This bill seeks to repeal and amend specific provisions of a prior law (Public Law 119-21) that its sponsors argue endanger unaccompanied migrant children. It would eliminate various immigration-related fees for these children, prohibit the use of funds for their summary removal or intrusive body exams, and block the sharing of sponsor information for immigration enforcement. The legislation aims to restore protections under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act and facilitate the safe release of children to family sponsors.

This bill seeks to repeal a District of Columbia law that limits local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. It would require D.C. agencies to honor immigration detainers and grant federal authorities greater access. The legislation represents a direct assertion of congressional authority over the District. It reignites debates over immigration policy, public safety, and local autonomy.

This bill formally establishes the existing Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP) in federal law, authorizing $165 million annually from 2026 through 2030. It directs the Health Resources and Services Administration to award grants for substance use disorder prevention, treatment, and recovery services in rural areas. The legislation aims to provide long-term stability and dedicated funding for combating the opioid crisis in underserved communities. It has bipartisan sponsorship and is currently under committee review.

This bill amends the Clean Air Act to expedite permitting for semiconductor and critical mineral facilities by allowing the President to waive emissions offset requirements for national security reasons. It also requires states to provide alternative compliance options, such as fees, when offsets are unavailable. The goal is to accelerate domestic projects deemed vital to economic competitiveness and supply chain security. Critics argue it could increase local pollution and centralizes significant environmental waiver power with the President.

This bill seeks to overhaul the U.S. immigration detention system by establishing stringent facility standards, mandating transparency, and significantly limiting who can be detained. It creates a legal presumption of release, prohibits detaining children and vulnerable populations, and phases out all contracts with private prisons and county jails within three years. The legislation also bans solitary confinement and enhances access to legal resources and community-based alternatives to detention.

This bill, the Reliable Federal Infrastructure Act, repeals specific federal building energy efficiency and fossil fuel reduction standards. It would eliminate the mandate for new federal buildings to phase out on-site fossil fuel energy use by 2030. The legislation aims to remove what sponsors view as burdensome regulatory requirements for federal construction projects. This represents a significant rollback of previous climate and energy conservation goals for the federal building portfolio.

This bill amends the Natural Gas Act to explicitly require the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to evaluate and mitigate the climate change and environmental justice impacts of proposed natural gas infrastructure projects. It mandates a detailed analysis of greenhouse gas emissions and disproportionate burdens on vulnerable communities, establishing specific significance thresholds. The legislation would make it more difficult for projects with high emissions or significant impacts to gain approval, aligning FERC's process with broader climate and equity goals. Applicants would be required to submit mitigation plans, and FERC must attach binding conditions to approvals where practicable.

This bill directs the Department of Veterans Affairs to establish a five-year pilot program implementing the evidence-based Zero Suicide framework at five VA medical centers. The program mandates intensive staff training and the development of standardized clinical protocols for suicide prevention. Its effectiveness will be rigorously evaluated through annual and final reports to Congress. The goal is to reduce veteran suicide rates and provide a model for potential nationwide expansion.

This bill proposes a new 20% excise tax on loans secured by investment assets for individuals earning over $400,000 annually. It specifically targets the "buy, borrow, die" strategy used by some wealthy individuals to access wealth without paying capital gains taxes. The tax exempts common loans like mortgages, home equity lines, and margin loans. Its stated purpose is to ensure high-income individuals pay their fair share of taxes.

This bill requires that financial assistance from third parties, such as drug manufacturers or non-profits, must be counted toward a patient's deductible, copayment, and out-of-pocket maximums for health insurance. It aims to lower out-of-pocket costs for patients, especially for high-cost specialty drugs. The legislation amends the Public Health Service Act, the Affordable Care Act, and the Internal Revenue Code to create this uniform standard. It would apply to health plans starting in 2026.

This bill creates a new federal crime for administering abortion-inducing drugs to a woman without her informed consent, punishable by up to 25 years in prison. It also allows the woman to sue for significant financial damages, including triple compensatory damages. The legislation broadly defines conspiracy to include failing to verify a recipient's pregnancy and consent, potentially implicating third parties like pharmacists. It represents a significant federal intervention into the regulation of medication abortion.

This bill, the SECURE STEM Act of 2025, prohibits the issuance of H-1B, O-1, J-1, F-1, and M-1 visas to nationals of China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and Cuba. It also bans U.S. national laboratories from employing individuals from these countries who hold such visas. A waiver is available if deemed in the national interest by the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security. The legislation aims to protect U.S. research and technology but would significantly impact academia, industry, and scientific exchange.

This House resolution condemns the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade. It commits the House to advancing federal laws that establish abortion access as a fundamental right and component of healthcare. The resolution also pledges to pursue judicial reforms to restore confidence in the Supreme Court. Furthermore, it calls for protecting groups disproportionately impacted by abortion restrictions and urges executive action on reproductive justice.

The Kids Online Safety Act imposes new legal duties on social media and other online platforms to protect users under 17. It requires platforms to implement default safeguards against compulsive usage, provide parental control tools, and restrict advertising of harmful products to minors. The bill mandates annual independent audits of platform safety practices and is enforced by the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general. It includes provisions to avoid First Amendment conflicts and would preempt state laws on the same subjects.

This bill would create a legal presumption that non-citizens who are not lawful permanent residents are both a danger and a flight risk, making it much more likely they are detained without bail before trial. It requires a detention hearing for any such defendant, regardless of the crime charged. The bill explicitly prohibits using family or employment ties in the U.S. as grounds to argue for release. This would lead to a significant increase in pre-trial detention for non-citizens in the federal system.

The Reuniting Families Act is a comprehensive immigration reform bill aimed at reducing visa backlogs and keeping families together. Key provisions include recapturing unused visas, reclassifying spouses of green card holders as immediate relatives, and raising per-country visa caps. It also creates a new "permanent partner" category to provide immigration benefits for committed partners, including same-sex couples. Additionally, the bill offers protections for children aging out of eligibility and survivors of deceased petitioners.

This House concurrent resolution commends state and local governments that have declared reproductive rights to be human rights. It condemns the criminalization of abortion and pregnancy outcomes, affirming that all people deserve access to healthcare without fear. The resolution urges states with restrictive laws to repeal them, aligning congressional sentiment with international human rights standards. As a concurrent resolution, it expresses an opinion but does not create new law.

This bill authorizes the construction of a memorial in Washington, D.C., to honor U.S. citizens and legal residents killed by individuals unlawfully present in the country. The project must be fully funded by private donations, with no federal funds used. It waives the standard waiting period for new memorials under the Commemorative Works Act. The bill has been introduced by Republican lawmakers and referred to committee for consideration.
