If enacted, any student, teacher, or staff member could choose not to say the Pledge for religious or personal reasons. Schools could not punish, discriminate, or retaliate against someone who opts out. These protections would start 180 days after enactment and apply to school years that begin on or after that date.
If enacted, public K–12 schools that get federal funds would need a policy requiring students, teachers, and staff to say the Pledge at the start of each school day, using the exact words set in federal law. The U.S. flag would be shown in every classroom and gym so everyone can see it. Schools would add age‑appropriate lessons on the flag in civics or history for every grade. A religious or personal exception would be allowed. These rules would start 180 days after enactment and apply to school years that begin on or after that date.
If enacted, each school district would have to certify in writing to the State by October 1 each year that it complies. States would report districts that did not file or had noncompliance complaints to the U.S. Education Department by November 1. The Education Secretary could issue rules or orders to make districts comply, including those that certified in bad faith. This authority would begin 180 days after enactment and apply to school years that begin on or after that date.

HR425 — Repealing Big Brother Overreach Act
Repeal of the Corporate Transparency Act would end the federal program for collecting beneficial ownership information and withdraw CTA implementation. It would also roll back related changes in the Anti-Money Laundering Act and update references in the U.S. Code. - Companies that would have reported beneficial owners would no longer have to file federal beneficial-ownership reports. - Anti-money laundering agencies and law enforcement would lose a statutory reporting channel when the linked AMLA provisions are repealed. - Federal statutes and cross-references would be adjusted, including edits to 31 U.S.C. sections and Title LXV of the Anti-Money Laundering Act, to reflect the repeal.
HR38 — Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2025
National concealed-carry reciprocity. This bill would create nationwide recognition of state concealed-carry licenses so people with a valid photo ID and a state permit or the right to carry in their home State could carry a concealed handgun in many other States. - Gun owners and travelers: People not federally prohibited from firearms possession who hold a state concealed-carry license or are entitled to carry in their home State could carry a concealed handgun in States that issue permits or do not ban concealed carry. Machine guns and destructive devices are excluded. It would take effect 90 days after enactment. - State and property rights: States would keep the power to prohibit or restrict concealed carry on private property and on State or local government property. The bill also lists federal public lands and agencies where carrying would be allowed in publicly accessible areas, including National Park units and Forest Service land. - Criminal and civil protections: Officers may not arrest absent probable cause that the carry falls outside the law and prosecutors must prove beyond a reasonable doubt when the defense is raised. Prevailing defendants can recover reasonable attorney fees and may sue for deprivation of rights with damages.
HRES719 — Honoring the life and legacy of Charles "Charlie" James Kirk.
Condemns political violence. The resolution condemns the assassination of Charles 'Charlie' James Kirk, honors his life and leadership, and urges swift justice while offering sympathy to his family.
HR21 — Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act
Mandates care and penalties for infants born alive after an abortion. This bill would set standards of care, require reporting, create criminal penalties, and allow civil suits when an infant is born alive following an abortion. - Women and families: A woman on whom an abortion is performed may sue anyone who violates the law and recover objectively verifiable medical and psychological damages, punitive damages, and statutory damages equal to three times the cost of the abortion. Courts must award reasonable attorney's fees to prevailing plaintiffs and may award fees to defendants if a suit is frivolous. - Health care practitioners and facility employees: Any practitioner present at a birth resulting from an abortion must exercise the same professional skill, care, and diligence as for any other live-born infant of the same gestational age. Practitioners or employees who know of a failure to comply must immediately report the violation to appropriate State or Federal law enforcement. - Criminal and statutory consequences: Violators face fines, up to 5 years in prison, or both, and anyone who intentionally kills a born-alive infant is punished under the murder statute. The bill also updates chapter headings and adds statutory definitions for "abortion" and "attempt."
HR1301 — Death Tax Repeal Act
This bill would repeal the federal estate tax and the generation‑skipping transfer tax. It would also reshape gift tax rules by keeping tiered rates but creating a $10 million lifetime exemption indexed for inflation. - Heirs of people who die on or after enactment would not owe the federal estate tax. This removes that tax from those estates. - Donors and high‑net‑worth individuals would still face a gift tax, but under a tiered schedule from 18% to 35% and a $10 million lifetime exemption that is indexed for inflation after 2011. - Generation‑skipping transfers made on or after enactment would not be subject to the GST tax. Qualified domestic trusts for surviving spouses of decedents who died before enactment would follow transitional rules, including changed treatment of distributions after a 10‑year period beginning on the enactment date.
HR703 — Main Street Tax Certainty Act
This bill would permanently preserve the qualified business income (QBI) deduction by removing the sunset provision in Internal Revenue Code section 199A. The change would apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025, so the deduction would be available for 2026 and later tax years. It achieves this by striking subsection (i) of section 199A and setting that effective date. Taxpayers with qualified business income would continue to claim the QBI deduction under the existing Section 199A rules for those years.
