Make the American Dream Real Again Act

The proposal would give first-time homebuyers a refundable tax credit to help cover costs associated with purchasing a home, meaning they could get money back from the government even if they owe no taxes. This would make homeownership more affordable for people who are buying their first house, particularly those with lower incomes who might struggle to save for down payments and closing costs.

Davis-Bacon Repeal Act

The proposal would eliminate the requirement that workers on federal construction projects be paid prevailing wages (the standard wage rates in their area). This would likely reduce labor costs for federal construction projects but could lower wages for construction workers on those projects. The change would affect construction companies bidding on federal contracts and the workers they employ.

Great American Healthcare Plan

This bill would let people save more money in health savings accounts (special tax-advantaged accounts for medical expenses) and would require hospitals and insurance companies to publicly disclose their prices so patients can compare costs before getting care. The measure affects workers with health savings accounts, patients shopping for medical services, hospitals, and insurance companies. The bill has been referred to multiple committees in Congress for review.

Smart Space Act of 2026

Smart Space Act of 2026 This bill requires the General Services Administration (GSA) to publish a recommended list of public building projects for which public-private partnerships and alternative financing methods should be used. Under the bill, GSA must hold consultation meetings to identify alternative financing solutions for the construction, renovation, or preparation for disposal of public buildings that will reduce costs to the federal government. Such meetings must include experts in private commercial real estate and federal real estate. If available, state real estate experts with experience leveraging private financing for public buildings and facilities must also be included. GSA must submit to the President and Congress, and publish on its website (1) recommendations on types of public-private partnerships and alternative financing methods best suited for meeting the federal government's public building needs, and (2) a list of recommended projects for which such methods should be used. Projects included on the recommended projects list must meet certain criteria, including consolidating or relocating federal agencies out of costly, inefficient, and underutilized spaces that GSA intends to sell or dispose of once vacated.

Guidance Clarity Act of 2025

Guidance Clarity Act of 2025 This bill requires federal agencies to state on the first page of guidance documents that such guidance (1) does not have the force and effect of law, and (2) is intended only to provide clarity to the public about existing legal requirements or agency policies.

Counter Drone State and Local Defender Act

This bill would allow state and local law enforcement agencies to detect, track, and disable drones that pose a threat to public safety or critical infrastructure, without needing federal permission first. It aims to give police departments and other local authorities the tools to protect airports, power plants, government buildings, and other sensitive areas from unauthorized or dangerous drone activity. The bill addresses growing concerns about drones being used for illegal surveillance, smuggling, or attacks while clarifying what local officials can legally do to stop them.

Auto Data Privacy and Autonomy Act

This bill would require automakers to let car owners control what data their vehicles collect and how that information is used, similar to privacy protections in other industries. It would give drivers the right to know what personal information their cars are gathering—such as location, driving habits, or phone contacts—and allow them to opt out of data sharing with third parties. The rules would apply to car manufacturers and the companies they sell vehicle data to, affecting both the auto industry and data brokers.

Propane Accessibility and Regulatory Relief Act

This bill would reduce government regulations on propane companies and suppliers to make it easier and cheaper for them to do business, while potentially lowing costs and improving access to propane for heating, cooking, and other uses. The changes would likely affect propane distributors, retailers, and the millions of Americans who rely on propane, particularly in rural areas where it's a primary energy source. The bill is currently being reviewed by two congressional committees to determine which parts fall under their authority.

Life at Conception Act

Life at Conception Act This bill declares that the right to life guaranteed by the Constitution is vested in each human being at all stages of life, including the moment of fertilization, cloning, or other moment at which an individual comes into being. Nothing in this bill shall be construed to authorize the prosecution of any woman for the death of her unborn child.

Repeal the NFA Act

This proposal would eliminate the National Firearms Act, a federal law that currently requires people to register certain weapons like machine guns and short-barreled rifles with the government and pay a $200 tax stamp for each one. Removing this law would allow Americans to own these weapons without federal registration or the tax, though states could still impose their own restrictions. The change would primarily affect gun owners and manufacturers, while reducing federal tax revenue from these registrations.
