This bill would make many spouses of covered officials register with the House Clerk and Senate Secretary and file quarterly electronic reports about covered advocacy activities. Current spouses would have to register within 45 days after guidance is issued; new spouses must register within 45 days after the official begins service. Reports would be due within 20 days after each quarter and must name clients, list issues and bill numbers, list Houses and agencies contacted, note foreign-entity interests, and estimate expenses. The House and Senate would expand gift-disclosure rules to cover spouses in many cases. The Clerk and Secretary must issue guidance within 180 days and may refer nonresponsive spouses to the U.S. Attorney after 60 days. Knowing failures to comply could bring civil fines up to $200,000 and criminal penalties up to 5 years in prison.
This bill would stop covered officials and their spouses or dependent children from buying or selling many assets unless those assets are in a qualified blind trust. Covered investments would include digital assets, securities, commodities, futures, and similar instruments, but would exclude widely held diversified funds, U.S. Treasury securities, and State or municipal bonds. Covered individuals would have to file quarterly reports to their supervising ethics office to show compliance. Violations could force payment of any profits and, in some cases, the ethics office could require up to three times the value of the investment to be paid to the U.S. Treasury. The bill would also bar using office allowances or campaign contributions to pay those penalties and require ethics offices to publish violation findings online.
This bill would bar Members of Congress and their spouses from serving as officers or board members of for-profit companies going forward. Spouses who were on boards before enactment or before the Member took office could finish that existing term but could not seek officer roles or new terms while the Member remains in office. Any spouse who continues under the grandfather rule would have to file quarterly public reports about their service and any lobbying by the entity.
This bill would make it a crime for some former Members and certain former Presidential appointees to knowingly represent, aid, or advise specified foreign 'countries of concern' to influence U.S. officials. The bill names China, North Korea, Russia, and Iran as initial countries of concern. The Secretary of State could add more countries. Violations would be punished under existing criminal law.

Rebuild U.S. commercial shipbuilding and a U.S.-flag strategic fleet by pairing new tax credits, grants, and operating payments with stronger cargo-preference rules and workforce and innovation programs to restore domestic capacity and sealift readiness.

HR20 — Richard L. Trumka Protecting the Right to Organize Act of 2025
Strengthens worker organizing rights and enforcement. The bill broadens who counts as an employee or joint employer and builds tougher remedies, penalties, and election rules to make organizing and bargaining easier to enforce and monitor. - Workers: Expands who is treated as an employee by tightening the three-part test for independent contractors and broadening the joint-employer test to include direct, indirect, and reserved control. It adds clear protections for strike participation and allows back pay without reduction and liquidated damages equal to twice awarded damages. - Employers: Requires prompt disclosure and new notice duties including a detailed voter list within two business days and multilingual employee notices. Noncompliance can trigger civil penalties including up to $50,000 per unfair labor practice, up to $10,000 per refusal to obey Board orders, and fines for posting or voter-list violations. - Elections, agencies, and unions: NLRB must adopt remote electronic voting within one year and aim to hold elections within twenty business days. The bill also boosts NLRB reporting and transparency, expands private suits, and creates new whistleblower protections and expedited enforcement.
HR5390 — FAMILY Act
This bill would create a federally administered paid family and medical leave insurance program that pays eligible workers for caregiving and serious medical needs while adding job and health coverage protections. It sets benefit formulas, eligibility rules, and a new Office of Paid Family and Medical Leave inside the Social Security Administration to run the program. - Families and caregivers: Would get paid leave based on earnings with benefits calculated using a three-tier formula and monthly minimum and maximum amounts. Caregiving is tracked in 1-hour units and capped per benefit period at 12 times an individual’s regular weekly hours, and the eligibility wage floor is $2,000 for benefit periods beginning in 2026. - Workers and job protections: Would include restoration to the same or equivalent job, continuation of health coverage during leave, anti-retaliation rules with a 12-month rebuttable presumption for recent leave takers, and limited exclusions for new hires. - Administration and employers: Creates a Deputy Commissioner‑led office at the SSA to set rules, run payments, publish annual demographic usage reports, share data with federal agencies, manage legacy State programs to avoid double counting, and require a GAO study after 2026 and every five years thereafter.
HR15 — Equality Act
Adds sexual orientation and gender identity to the federal definition of sex and creates a uniform, nationwide nondiscrimination framework across employment, housing, credit, education, public accommodations, jury service, and programs that receive federal funds. The bill would harmonize definitions, remedies, and rules of construction across multiple civil rights statutes to make enforcement and claims more consistent. - Workers: Private and federal employees would gain explicit protection from discrimination for sexual orientation and gender identity. The bill would update Title VII rules, expand remedies, and adjust bona fide occupational qualification rules to account for gender identity. - People using public places, students, and tenants: Public accommodations and education laws would explicitly bar discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The Fair Housing Act would adopt the same definitions and protections to cover renters and buyers. - Borrowers, juries, and enforcement: The Equal Credit Opportunity Act would bar credit discrimination on these bases. Jury selection rules would be updated to prevent discrimination. The bill would also prevent the Religious Freedom Restoration Act from being used to challenge enforcement under the covered civil rights laws.
HR14 — John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2025
This bill would restore robust federal oversight of voting rights by rewriting Section 2 and creating a broad practice-based preclearance system. It sets new tests for vote-dilution and vote-denial claims, adds retrogression rules for actions on or after January 1, 2021, and requires extensive public notice, data disclosure, and observer powers. - Minority and language-minority voters: Provides clearer legal paths to challenge districting and practices that dilute or abridge votes, recognizes coalitions of minority groups, and applies retrogression rules to actions from January 1, 2021. - States and local election officials: Triggers preclearance using a 25-year lookback with numeric thresholds and creates an administrative bailout that requires demonstrating sustained compliance over a 10-year period to avoid coverage. - Enforcement, oversight, and courts: Expands who may sue to include private "aggrieved persons", centralizes observer authority in the Attorney General, and authorizes pre-suit inspection and information demands that courts may enforce or modify.
