Show full summary
- Families and vehicle buyers: Households that buy new or used clean vehicles would lose the federal purchase credits. The repeal applies to purchases or binding contracts made after the 30‑day effective window.
- Businesses and fleets: Commercial buyers and fleet operators would no longer qualify for the qualified commercial clean vehicle credit for vehicles bought or contracted for after 30 days.
- Charging property owners and installers: Equipment for recharging electric vehicles would no longer count as "qualified alternative fuel vehicle refueling property" for the refueling credit after the 30‑day window.
- Tribal governments and building-energy deductions: The bill adds a defined term "Indian tribal government" tied to the Federally Recognized Indian Tribe List Act for the purpose of the 179D energy deduction rules.
Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Clarify which tribes qualify for energy deduction
This bill would spell out which tribal governments count for the commercial building energy-efficiency deduction. It would use the federal list of recognized tribes as of enactment. The rule would apply to property you buy, or sign a binding contract for, starting 30 days after enactment. Owners and contractors working with listed tribes would have clearer eligibility to claim the deduction.
End clean car purchase tax credits
This bill would end federal tax credits for clean vehicles. It would repeal credits for new clean cars, used clean cars, and some commercial clean vehicles. The change would apply to vehicles you buy, or sign a binding purchase contract for, starting 30 days after enactment. Buyers who expected these credits would likely pay more out of pocket.
End tax credit for EV chargers
This bill would remove electric vehicle chargers from the alternative fuel refueling property tax credit. Homeowners and businesses installing EV chargers would no longer get that credit. The change would apply to chargers you buy, or sign a binding contract for, starting 30 days after enactment. Out-of-pocket costs for installing chargers would likely go up.

HR1 — An act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14.
A household-budget shakeup - changing how much help some families get for groceries, and for parents, reshaping the child tax credit and child/dependent care breaks that can move refund sizes and take-home pay, while also tightening some energy incentives and immigration fees and pumping new money into defense, border operations, health, and student aid. - Grocery help & eligibility: Updates the formula used to set SNAP (food stamp) benefits and tweaks work/utility rules—so benefit amounts could shift for some households. It also tightens eligibility for certain immigrants. - Refunds for families: Reworks key family tax breaks—especially the child tax credit and child/dependent care credits—which could change the size and timing of tax refunds (and in some cases take-home pay) for parents. - Energy bills & “made in America” rules: Scales back or ends several clean-energy and manufacturing tax credits and adds tougher domestic-content/foreign-entity limits—changes that can ripple into utility rates, home-upgrade costs, and where new jobs/investment land. - New fees + big funding shifts: Sets new immigration service fee schedules and moves major federal dollars toward defense, border operations, health, and student aid—reshaping who pays fees and where government spending shows up. Raises federal borrowing authority by 5 trillion dollars, and potentially more budget pressure later.
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."
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.
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.
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.
HR1422 — Enhanced Iran Sanctions Act of 2025
Targets Iran's energy revenue through global sanctions. This bill would create a broad sanctions framework to punish foreign persons who process, export, or sell Iran-origin oil, condensates, gas, LNG, or petrochemical products. It pairs blocking of assets and visa bans with ownership-based triggers, waivers, humanitarian carve-outs, and new reporting to limit Iran's access to energy markets and finance for weapons and terrorism. - Foreign energy firms and financial institutions would face blocking of property and bans on transactions if they knowingly handle Iran-origin energy or are 50% or more owned by such actors. Associated aliens could become inadmissible and have visas revoked. - Maritime operators, insurers, flag registries, and LNG pipeline facilities would be exposed to sanctions risk when linked to Iran-origin shipments, though safety-of-crew rules and specific exemptions for imports remain. - Humanitarian organizations would keep explicit exemptions for agricultural commodities, food, medicine, medical devices, and humanitarian assistance to avoid disrupting aid. - U.S. agencies and private companies would see new duties: an interagency working group and multilateral contact group would coordinate enforcement, and private-sector reporting would be required to flag evasion and proceeds from intercepted Iran-origin energy sales.
