If enacted, the bill would sharply narrow who may get a commercial driver's license. Only U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, or certain nonimmigrant visa holders (specific INA subparagraphs) with valid, unexpired visas would be eligible. If you held a covered CDL when the law is enacted, you would have to recertify within 180 days. Recertification would require proof of status, English proficiency per 49 C.F.R. 391.11(b)(2), and passing all CDL-related tests in English. States would have to revoke licenses for people who fail recertification or who do not meet the status or English rules. The bill would also impose a lifetime ban on operating commercial vehicles for people who drive without the required status, with only two narrow exceptions for some B-1 visitors and certain holders of valid travel authorization plus an admission record.
If enacted, the bill would let the Secretary withhold all "covered funding" from any State that fails the new CDL recertification, revocation, status-verification, or English-proficiency requirements. Withholding tied to the 180-day recertification deadline would begin in the first fiscal year after that deadline. Withholding for issuing licenses to ineligible people or to people not proficient in English would begin in the first fiscal year after enactment. The bill says these withholdings apply notwithstanding any other law and that the withheld amount is all covered funding as defined.

S3752 — SAVE America Act
Would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship and a tangible photo ID to register and vote in federal elections. It would create a nationwide verification system using DHS SAVE, Social Security Administration checks, and state DMV and other databases and would expand removal rules, private lawsuits, and criminal penalties for registration violations. - Voters and registrants: People seeking to register for federal office would need to present listed documents such as a U.S. passport, REAL ID showing citizenship, naturalization certificate, or certified birth records. Those without documents could use a uniform affidavit under penalty of perjury as an alternative. - State and election agencies: Motor vehicle agencies and voter registration offices would have to collect and verify documentary proof and regularly cross-check SAVE, SSA, and state records. Federal departments would be required to provide verification data on request and, where practicable, within 24 hours to support verification. - Voting process and enforcement: In-person voters would need a tangible photo ID and absentee voters would include an ID copy with requests and ballots. The bill would add a mechanism to remove registrants verified as noncitizens and broaden private rights of action and criminal penalties for assisting improper registration.
S401 — Fair Access to Banking Act
Guarantees fair, impartial access to basic financial services. This bill would limit when banks, credit unions, and payment networks can refuse to serve a person who is acting lawfully by requiring denials to rest on documented, quantitative, risk-based standards and by creating penalties and a private lawsuit tool for violations. - Large banks would face limits on Federal Reserve discount window access and Automated Clearing House network use if they refuse to serve lawful customers without objective, pre-established risk reasons. Covered banks are presumed to be those with more than $10.0 billion in assets. - Payment card networks and credit unions would be barred from blocking access based on political or reputational risk. Card networks face civil penalties up to 10% of the value of affected services or $10,000 per violation. - Individuals and businesses denied services in violation of the bill would get a private right of action in federal court. Successful plaintiffs could recover attorney fees, costs, and treble damages.
S587 — Death Tax Repeal Act of 2025
Repeal of the estate and generation-skipping transfer taxes. This bill would eliminate those transfer taxes for decedents dying and GST transfers occurring after enactment and would overhaul the gift tax to raise the lifetime exemption and add a new tiered rate schedule. - Families and heirs: Heirs of people who die after enactment would no longer face the federal estate tax or the generation-skipping transfer tax. - Donors and trusts: The lifetime gift exemption would rise to $10 million, indexed for inflation, and gift tax rates would be rewritten into brackets that range from 18% up to 35% for the largest gifts. Trust transfers would be treated as taxable gifts unless the trust is wholly owned by the donor or the donor's spouse. - Implementation and timing: The changes would apply to gifts made and transfers occurring on or after enactment and include a transition rule that treats the calendar year of enactment as two separate periods for certain tax provisions.
S186 — No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2025
Blocks federal funding for abortions and for health plans that cover abortion. The bill would permanently ban the use of federal funds for abortions or for any health plan paid for in whole or in part with federal money and would bar abortions in federal facilities or by federal employees. - Families and marketplace enrollees would not be able to use premium tax credits or cost‑sharing reductions to buy plans that include abortion. They could purchase a separate abortion-only plan but would receive no federal subsidy for that coverage. - People who receive care in federal facilities and anyone served by federal employees would not get abortions paid for with federal funds. The bill extends funding restrictions to federal trust funds and the District of Columbia. Exceptions are preserved for rape, incest, and life‑threatening conditions. - Employers and insurers would face new rules. Plans that include abortion would be excluded from the small employer health insurance credit. Qualified health plans and marketplace materials would have to prominently disclose whether they cover abortion and any separate surcharge for that coverage.
S213 — Main Street Tax Certainty Act
This bill would make permanent the qualified business income (QBI) deduction that lets many individuals, estates, and trusts deduct up to 20% of qualifying business income. The QBI deduction currently expires after December 31, 2025. The bill would remove that sunset by striking subsection (i) of section 199A. It does not change the deduction's 20% rate, definitions, or existing wage and property limits.
S100 — Repealing Big Brother Overreach Act
Repeals the Corporate Transparency Act. This bill would remove the requirement for existing and newly created companies to report beneficial ownership information to the Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, a tool aimed at tracking financial crime. - Businesses: Companies would no longer have to file beneficial ownership reports with FinCEN, cutting that reporting requirement for both existing firms and new incorporations. - Law enforcement and anti-money laundering efforts: The bill unwinds related parts of the Anti‑Money Laundering Act of 2020 and adjusts U.S. Code cross-references, eliminating a federal data source used to address money laundering and terrorist financing.
