- Prospective diversity-visa applicants. People who would have used the DV lottery lose that pathway to permanent residence after the effective date.
- Federal immigration agencies and legal practitioners. The bill redesignates subsections and updates cross-references across several INA provisions, including sections 101, 201, 203, 204, 214, 216, and 245, so the statute reads consistently without the DV program.

HR425 — Repealing Big Brother Overreach Act
Ends the Corporate Transparency Act and removes its amendments from federal law. It also adjusts related U.S. Code citations and parts of the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 to reflect that repeal. - Repeals the Corporate Transparency Act as title LXIV of division F of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-283) and removes all amendments made by that Act. - Edits Title 31, United States Code by removing or changing cross-references that mentioned section 5336 and updating references in sections 5321 and 5322. - Alters the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 by repealing section 6502 and striking or modifying portions of section 6509 as described in the bill.
HR38 — Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2025
National concealed-carry reciprocity. This bill would create nationwide recognition of state concealed-carry licenses so people with a valid photo ID and a state permit or the right to carry in their home State could carry a concealed handgun in many other States. - Gun owners and travelers: People not federally prohibited from firearms possession who hold a state concealed-carry license or are entitled to carry in their home State could carry a concealed handgun in States that issue permits or do not ban concealed carry. Machine guns and destructive devices are excluded. It would take effect 90 days after enactment. - State and property rights: States would keep the power to prohibit or restrict concealed carry on private property and on State or local government property. The bill also lists federal public lands and agencies where carrying would be allowed in publicly accessible areas, including National Park units and Forest Service land. - Criminal and civil protections: Officers may not arrest absent probable cause that the carry falls outside the law and prosecutors must prove beyond a reasonable doubt when the defense is raised. Prevailing defendants can recover reasonable attorney fees and may sue for deprivation of rights with damages.
HR569 — Birthright Citizenship Act of 2025
Restrict who counts as "subject to the jurisdiction" for birthright citizenship by tying it to parents' legal status. This bill would rewrite the statutory definition in 8 U.S.C. 1401 to make parental status the determining factor for whether a U.S. birth qualifies under the jurisdiction test. - Families and children: A person born in the United States would be considered subject to the jurisdiction only if at least one parent is a U.S. citizen or national, a lawful permanent resident whose residence is in the United States, or an alien with lawful status who is actively serving in the armed forces. This ties eligibility to specific parental categories rather than territorial birth alone. - Noncitizen parents: Children born to parents who do not meet those listed parental statuses would not meet the statute's jurisdictional test for birthright citizenship under this framework. - Timing and grandfathering: The bill says these changes would not affect the citizenship or nationality status of anyone born before the law takes effect.
HR1301 — Death Tax Repeal Act
This bill would repeal the federal estate tax and the generation‑skipping transfer tax. It would also reshape gift tax rules by keeping tiered rates but creating a $10 million lifetime exemption indexed for inflation. - Heirs of people who die on or after enactment would not owe the federal estate tax. This removes that tax from those estates. - Donors and high‑net‑worth individuals would still face a gift tax, but under a tiered schedule from 18% to 35% and a $10 million lifetime exemption that is indexed for inflation after 2011. - Generation‑skipping transfers made on or after enactment would not be subject to the GST tax. Qualified domestic trusts for surviving spouses of decedents who died before enactment would follow transitional rules, including changed treatment of distributions after a 10‑year period beginning on the enactment date.
HR7296 — SAVE America Act
Requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register for federal elections and a nationwide tangible photo ID for voting. The bill pairs those rules with a rapid federal verification program using DHS SAVE and the Social Security Administration’s SSN Verification Service and sets tight setup deadlines for implementation.
HR925 — Dismantle DEI Act of 2025
Bans many federal Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) practices across the federal government. The bill would define a narrow set of "prohibited DEI practices," require agencies to end DEI offices and related programs, and block similar DEI requirements for contractors, grantees, accrediting bodies, and parts of the military and financial regulators.
