Show full summary
- 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.
Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
National abortion data system at CDC
This bill would direct CDC to run a national system to collect abortion data in one standard way. States would use a worksheet with ten required items: age; gestational age; race; ethnicity; race by ethnicity; method; marital status; past pregnancies and outcomes; residence; and whether the child survived. The system would allow cross-tabs, like age by gestational age. CDC could add voluntary questions, update the list, give states technical help, and publish an annual report by December 30 of the third year after the year covered.
Medicaid family planning payments tied to reporting
This bill would tie federal Medicaid payment for family planning to state abortion data reporting. Starting in the year after two full years from enactment, states would need to send required data to CDC by December 31 of the prior year. The data would cover the year before that, and the state would have to certify it is accurate. If a state misses that earlier date but sends data by December 31 of the same year, it would still get payment for that year, including retroactive payment. If CDC finds a state knowingly sent false data, the state would lose federal payment for these services for the first full fiscal year after that finding. If you get Medicaid family planning only coverage, your access could be affected if your state does not comply.

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.
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.
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.
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.
HR722 — Life at Conception Act
This bill would declare that the Constitution's right to life is vested in every human being from the moment of fertilization or cloning. It would define who counts as a "human person," say Congress may use Article I and the Fourteenth Amendment to protect that right, and state it does not authorize prosecuting any woman for the death of her unborn child. - Pregnant people: Would declare preborn individuals have a constitutional right to life from fertilization or cloning and explicitly says it would not authorize prosecuting any woman for the death of her unborn child. - States and territories: Would treat the term "State" in the Fourteenth Amendment and other constitutional provisions as including the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and each other U.S. territory or possession. - Federal powers and definitions: Would define "human person" and "human being" to include every member of Homo sapiens at all stages of life and affirm Congress can use its Article I and Fourteenth Amendment powers to enact laws to protect that right.
