HR833 — Educational Choice for Children Act of 2025

Federal tax credits for donations to scholarship organizations would create matching tax incentives for individuals and corporations to fund K–12 scholarships. The bill targets households up to 300% of area median income, sets a $10 billion annual volume cap, and would exclude those scholarship amounts from gross income.

HR2395 — SHORT Act

Reclassifies short‑barreled rifles and shotguns under federal law and limits state oversight. The SHORT Act would change the Internal Revenue Code and Title 18 to treat certain short‑barreled weapons differently, create a federal safe harbor for people who comply with Chapter 44, preempt state taxes and registration rules, and require destruction of some National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record entries. - Owners who follow federal Chapter 44 rules would be regarded as meeting any state or local registration or licensing requirement for short‑barreled rifles and shotguns. - States and localities would be barred from imposing taxes other than general sales or use taxes, or from requiring markings, recordkeeping, or registration for short‑barreled rifles and shotguns that affect interstate commerce. - The Attorney General would have to destroy within 365 days certain NFRTR registrations and transfer and maker applications that identify owners or makers of those weapons.

HR2387 — No Harm Act

Blocks federal funding for sex‑trait altering treatments for minors. The bill would set a federal framework that forbids federal money from paying for, promoting, or supporting these treatments and adds parental‑consent rules and civil remedies to enforce that ban. - Families and minors: Parents could decline these treatments and providers would need written parental consent plus a 72‑hour prior consultation and a printed list of fertility and other risks before any treatment is furnished. Minors or parents harmed by violations could sue with a 30‑year statute of limitations after the child reaches adulthood. - Medical providers and institutions: Federal funding could be withheld from medical institutions that provide these treatments to minors. The bill would create medical malpractice liability for harms from such treatments including attorney fees and treble damages and a 30‑year statute of limitations. - Schools and federal programs: Federal funds would be barred to elementary and secondary schools that let staff provide or support these treatments without notifying parents and getting written approval, and covered federal funds are defined to include Medicaid (Title XIX) and Part A of Title IV. The bill also authorizes civil actions by any person, including taxpayers, against the United States or federal agencies for violations and changes the criminal health‑necessity standard in a provision related to female genital mutilation.

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."

HR4154 — Employee Rights Act

Union voting and worker classification would be reshaped by the Employee Rights Act to require secret-ballot National Labor Relations Board elections and to redraw who counts as an employee. The bill would also tighten voter privacy, limit noncitizen participation in union ballots, set new independent‑contractor and joint‑employer tests, and raise penalties for violent interference in labor disputes. - Workers: Lawful employees would vote by secret ballot in Board-run elections and the bill bars employees lacking lawful status from voting or being counted in petitions. - Independent contractors and employers: The Fair Labor Standards Act would use a two-part test for contractor status based on control and entrepreneurial risk and would bar certain factors from being used to label someone an employee. Joint‑employer status would require direct, actual, and immediate control over essential terms of employment and franchisor policies generally could not by themselves create an employment relationship. - Unions, employers, and public safety: Employers must provide a searchable electronic voter list after Board elections and the Board must issue rules within 9 months. Unions would need written member authorization after at least a 35-day notice to spend dues on nonrepresentational activities and initial authorizations expire after 1 year. The bill also creates a federal offense for violent labor interference with penalties up to a $100,000 fine and 20 years in prison, and it restricts collective bargaining mandates on diversity, equity, and inclusion to what law already requires.
