If enacted, the bill would bar for life anyone who operates a commercial motor vehicle in the U.S. while not a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident and not a specified nonimmigrant with a valid, unexpired visa. Two narrow exceptions would apply: nonimmigrants under INA 101(a)(15)(B) with a valid visa, and people with a valid travel authorization under 8 C.F.R. 217.5 plus a valid admission record under 8 U.S.C. 1302. The lifetime ban would take effect upon enactment and would remove the legal ability to operate commercial vehicles for affected people, which would likely end related driving work and income.
If enacted, States would have to recertify all commercial driver's license holders within 180 days. The State would verify each person is a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or a specified nonimmigrant with a valid, unexpired visa. The State would also check English proficiency per 49 C.F.R. 391.11(b)(2) and that all required CDL exams were passed in English. States would have to revoke licenses of people who fail the recheck. The Secretary could withhold covered federal funding starting the first fiscal year after the deadline from States that miss recertification, fail required revocations, or issue licenses that break the new status or English rules.

HRES166 — Expressing support for the Iranian people's desires for a democratic, secular, and nonnuclear Republic of Iran, and condemning the Iranian regime's terrorism, regional proxy war, internal suppression, and for other purposes.
Supports the Iranian people's desire for a democratic, secular, and nonnuclear republic. This resolution would condemn the Islamic Republic for terrorism, regional proxy wars, weapons transfers, and domestic repression, and it urges Western nations to sustain sanctions and protect Iranian political refugees. - Iranian protesters and resistance: Affirms that Iranians should determine their political future by vote and highlights major protests led by women and youth. - Victims and minorities inside Iran: Recalls alleged abuses including executions during the first four months of Masoud Pezeshkian's presidency, citing over 500 prisoners killed and at least 17 women, and names repression of Kurds, Baluchis, Arabs, Christians, Jews, Baha'is, Zoroastrians, and Sunni Muslims. - Regional security and trade: Characterizes Iran as a source of terrorism and instability, accusing it of funding proxies and supplying weapons, missiles, and drones that threaten ships, Red Sea trade, and U.S. forces. - Allies and refugees: Urges Western governments to hold the regime accountable with ongoing sanctions, support the Iranian opposition and the Ten-Point Plan for the Future of Iran, and work with Albania to protect political refugees at Ashraf 3 under the 1951 Geneva Convention and the European Convention on Human Rights.
HR452 — Miracle on Ice Congressional Gold Medal Act
This law awards Congressional Gold Medals to the 1980 U.S. Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Team as a formal recognition of their Lake Placid victory and its lasting effect on American morale and the sport of hockey. It directs the Treasury to strike the medals and sets rules for duplicates, display, and funding. - Team legacy and public recognition: The Act honors the 1980 team with a symbolic national award that reinforces their historical and cultural significance for fans, players, and communities connected to the game. - Museum displays and research access: One gold medal goes to the Lake Placid Olympic Center, one to the United States Hockey Hall of Fame Museum in Eveleth, Minnesota, and one to the United States Olympic & Paralympic Museum in Colorado Springs for display and research. - Mint operations and collectibles: The Secretary of the Treasury will strike the medals, may sell bronze duplicates at prices that cover costs, and classifies the medals as national and numismatic items. The U.S. Mint Public Enterprise Fund pays for production and receives proceeds from duplicate sales.
HR979 — AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act of 2025
This bill would require AM broadcast capability to be installed as standard equipment in passenger motor vehicles. It focuses on driver-accessible AM reception, allows digital AM audio to count for compliance, and links vehicle AM capability to emergency alerting through IPAWS. - Drivers and households: Built-in, driver-accessible AM reception would make it easier for people to get local AM stations and emergency alerts from their vehicles. The bill allows devices that receive digital AM to meet the requirement. - Vehicle manufacturers: The Department of Transportation would need to issue a rule within 1 year, with a general compliance deadline no later than 2 years after the rule is issued. Small manufacturers that produced no more than 40,000 passenger vehicles in 2022 would get at least 4 years to comply. - Oversight and emergency systems: States would be barred from imposing their own AM-access rules. The bill mandates interim labels and pricing protections for cars without AM, authorizes civil penalties and DOJ injunctions for violations, requires a GAO study and a congressional briefing within 1 year, and includes an 8-year sunset for the authority.
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.
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.
HR45 — FIND Act
Prevents federal contractors from excluding or limiting businesses in the firearm and ammunition industry. The bill would create a new procurement rule that requires prime contractors and many subcontractors to certify they have no policies that discriminate against defined firearm entities or firearm trade associations. - Firearm and ammunition businesses and trade associations: Would block contractors from refusing services, limiting operations beyond law, or making category-based exclusions against defined firearm entities or trade groups. - Prime contractors and subcontractors: Prime contractors must include a no-discrimination certification and may not award a first-tier subcontract worth more than 10 percent of the prime contract to an uncertified entity. The bill bans structuring tiers to evade that limit. - Federal agencies: Agency contracting officials would be required to add the certification and subcontract limits into procurement contracts for goods and services. A narrow sole-source exception is included. - Enforcement: A contractor that violates the clause would face termination for default and initiation of suspension or debarment proceedings.
