HR137 — TCJA Permanency Act
Rewrite of individual income tax rates would remake brackets, reshape family tax benefits, and change rules for pass‑through businesses and the alternative minimum tax. The bill would permanently set new tax tables with inflation adjustments, overhaul the child tax credit and standard deduction framework, and make numerous conforming changes across the tax code.
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."
HR1266 — Combating Illicit Xylazine Act
This bill would place xylazine on Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act to curb illicit use and trafficking. It would also redefine who may possess xylazine legally, add the drug to federal tracking systems, and require sentencing guidance and periodic reports to Congress. - Veterinarians and animal owners: The bill limits who counts as an "ultimate user" to people who receive xylazine from a veterinarian or a registered pharmacy. Possession is restricted to animals they own or care for and to government or wildlife program uses. - Manufacturers and practitioners: Entities manufacturing xylazine at enactment would not have to install new capital security standards. Labeling rules are delayed for 1 year and practitioner registration, inventory, and recordkeeping requirements are delayed for 60 days to allow a transition. - Law enforcement and courts: Federal ARCOS tracking would be expanded to include xylazine. The U.S. Sentencing Commission must review penalties and the Attorney General, DEA, and FDA must report to Congress at 18 months and again at 4 years on prevalence, trafficking, and related risks.
HR7008 — Stop Insider Trading Act

HR472 — Restore VA Accountability Act of 2025
This bill would overhaul discipline at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for supervisors and senior staff, creating faster, centralized accountability for managers. It would set new offense- and misconduct-based rules that let the VA remove, demote, or suspend covered employees under a substantial-evidence standard. - VA supervisors, managers, and certain covered employees would face a strict timeline for discipline: notice, response, and a final decision in 15 business days total, short grievance windows, and limited pay/leave rules during appeals. - The bill would narrow outside appeals. The Secretary’s decisions generally would not go to the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB); courts could only review for arbitrariness, abuse of discretion, or substantial evidence, and could not usually review penalties except for constitutional issues. - Whistleblower safeguards remain: the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) must approve corrective actions for alleged prohibited personnel practices, and OSC investigations can be ended only with a written explanation.
