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."
HR2528 — Association Health Plans Act
Treats certain employer associations as employers for group health plans. This bill would let qualifying groups or associations sponsor association health plans across industries and sets rules on who can join, how plans must be run, and how self-employed people are treated. - Workers and families: Employees of member employers would be aggregated into a single multiple employer welfare arrangement. Plans must cover at least 51 employees across all members to qualify. - Self-employed individuals: People with no common-law employees who own a business and work at least 10 hours per week (or 40 hours per month) could join if the plan board certifies and later monitors their eligibility. If the board finds someone no longer qualifies, coverage may be withheld for the following plan year but can be reinstated with proof of eligibility. - Associations and employers: A group must exist at least 2 years, be formed for purposes other than buying medical care, not condition membership on health factors, and have a governing board with at least 75 percent of members being participating employer members. - Legal effect: Offering coverage through these association plans would not be used to infer employer or joint-employer status under federal or state law.
HR22 — SAVE Act
Requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in Federal elections. The bill would add verification, recordkeeping, and new penalties while creating a sworn-affidavit and official‑verification path for people who cannot present documents. - Voters without documents: People who lack documentary proof would rely on a standardized sworn affidavit or an official verification process the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) must develop. Provisional ballots could still be cast and counted if citizenship is later verified. - State agencies and DMVs: Motor vehicle agencies and other voter registration points would be required to collect and record citizenship documents and to notify applicants in advance. The Federal mail registration form would be revised and the EAC must issue guidance within 10 days of enactment. - Removal and enforcement: States could use Department of Homeland Security Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (DHS SAVE), the Social Security Administration (SSA) verification service, and state ID data to identify and remove noncitizens. The bill expands private suits and increases criminal penalties for knowingly registering or assisting noncitizens.
HR25 — FairTax Act of 2025
Replaces federal individual income and payroll taxes with a national sales tax. This plan imposes a 23% consumption tax starting January 1, 2027, creates a monthly Family Consumption Allowance rebate, and redesigns trust fund allocations for Social Security and Medicare. - Families: Creates a monthly rebate equal to the sales tax rate times the monthly poverty guideline. Rebates are paid by the Social Security Administration to a designated adult and require annual registration. - Workers and beneficiaries: Repeals payroll taxes and the estate and gift tax regimes effective 2027 and reallocates sales tax receipts to trust funds. For 2027 the bill directs about 27% to OASI and DI and about 7.7% to HI and SMI. - States and businesses: Establishes destination-based rules and a federal‑state cooperative system where sellers generally collect the tax and business purchases and bona fide investments are excluded from tax.
HR627 — Ensuring Accurate and Complete Abortion Data Reporting Act of 2025
This bill would create a federal, standardized abortion data reporting system tied to Medicaid family planning payments. It would require states to submit certified abortion data to the CDC using a common worksheet and set deadlines and penalties for noncompliance or knowing falsification. - States: Would have to submit standardized, aggregate abortion data to the CDC by specific year-end deadlines to receive Medicaid payments for certain family planning services. States that knowingly provide false data could lose payments for the first full fiscal year after the determination. - Medicaid beneficiaries and family planning programs: Funding for family planning services described in Medicaid would be conditioned on a state's timely and accurate reporting, which could delay or withhold payments if deadlines or certification rules are missed. - CDC and public health researchers: The CDC would maintain a national surveillance system, publish periodic national abortion reports, provide technical assistance to states, and collect mandatory variables that allow cross-tabulation by age, gestational age, race and ethnicity, method, prior pregnancies, residence, and more.
HR2126 — FOCA Act of 2025
Preserve open competition and federal neutrality in labor relations on construction projects. This bill would bar federal construction contracts and federally funded construction project agreements from requiring or banning union agreements or favoring bidders because of union affiliation, and it would extend the rule to grants and cooperative agreements.
