HR18 — Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2025

Expands background checks to most private firearm transfers. This bill would require unlicensed sellers to have a licensed importer, manufacturer, or dealer take possession of a firearm and run the federal background check before transferring it, while listing targeted exceptions. - Families: Certain loans and bona fide gifts between specified family members would be exempt if the transferor has no reason to believe the recipient is prohibited from possessing firearms. - Private sellers and dealers: Unlicensed sellers would need a licensee to take possession and process the transaction as dealer inventory so the existing background-check system applies. - Licensed-dealer paperwork: Licensees would have to give buyers a written notice and get a signed certification on a form the Attorney General prescribes. - Law enforcement and short-term use: The bill carves out exceptions for law enforcement, armed private security, military on duty, estate transfers, emergency transfers to prevent imminent harm, and temporary transfers at ranges or for hunting when the seller is present. - Administration and state authority: It would require the Attorney General to provide forms in English and Spanish and affirms it does not authorize a national firearms registry and preserves state lawmaking on the same subject.

HR2550 — Protect America's Workforce Act

Preserves federal employees' collective bargaining agreements. This Act nullifies the Executive Order titled "Exclusions from Federal Labor-Management Relations Programs." - Federal employees and unions: Collective bargaining agreements that were in effect on March 26, 2025 remain valid and continue to apply through each contract's stated term. - Federal agencies and federal funds: Agencies may not obligate or spend federal funds to carry out that Executive Order, and the Executive Order has no force or effect.

HR1661 — SAFE Act of 2025

Prohibits slaughter of equines for human consumption. This bill would expand the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 so that federal law treats horses and other equines the same way it treats dogs and cats regarding slaughter for human food. It accomplishes this by changing the statute's wording from “a dog or cat” to “a dog, cat, or equine,” thereby bringing equines under the existing ban.

HJRES80 — Establishing the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment.

Declares the Equal Rights Amendment part of the United States Constitution. This bill would assert that the ERA was ratified by the legislatures of three‑fourths of the states and that the time limit in House Joint Resolution 208 does not bar its validity. It creates no new programs, funding, or enforcement mechanisms and makes no administrative or jurisdictional changes beyond recognizing the amendment's constitutional status.

HRES70 — Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Congress should take all appropriate measures to ensure that the United States Postal Service remains an independent establishment of the Federal Government and is not subject to privatization.

Keep the U.S. Postal Service public and independent. This resolution would urge Congress to prevent privatization by framing USPS as a constitutionally authorized, self‑sustaining federal establishment that does not rely on taxpayer funding. It highlights USPS's scale and role: more than 630,000 employees including about 73,000 veterans, service to over 168 million addresses daily, and a central place in a $1.9 trillion mailing industry that employs roughly 7.9 million Americans. The text warns privatization would raise prices, cut services—especially in rural areas—and threaten e‑commerce and critical infrastructure.

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.
