Zero-Based Regulatory Budgeting to Unleash American Energy Act of 2026

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.

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.

HR45 — FIND Act

Prevents federal contractors from excluding or limiting businesses in the firearm and ammunition industry. The bill would create a new procurement rule that requires prime contractors and many subcontractors to certify they have no policies that discriminate against defined firearm entities or firearm trade associations. - Firearm and ammunition businesses and trade associations: Would block contractors from refusing services, limiting operations beyond law, or making category-based exclusions against defined firearm entities or trade groups. - Prime contractors and subcontractors: Prime contractors must include a no-discrimination certification and may not award a first-tier subcontract worth more than 10 percent of the prime contract to an uncertified entity. The bill bans structuring tiers to evade that limit. - Federal agencies: Agency contracting officials would be required to add the certification and subcontract limits into procurement contracts for goods and services. A narrow sole-source exception is included. - Enforcement: A contractor that violates the clause would face termination for default and initiation of suspension or debarment proceedings.

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.

HR3699 — Energy Choice Act

Preempt state and local limits on energy sources. This bill would bar a State or local government, and any state or local instrumentality or regulatory agency, from adopting, implementing, or enforcing laws, building codes, standards, or policies that prohibit or limit connecting, reconnecting, modifying, installing, transporting, distributing, expanding, or accessing an energy service based on the type or source of energy when that energy is sold in interstate commerce and delivered to an end-user.
