Cashless Bail Reporting Act

Cashless Bail Reporting Act This bill requires the Department of Justice to publish annually a list of state and local governments that permit individuals who are charged with certain criminal offenses that pose a clear threat to public safety and order to be released pending trial on personal recognizance or upon execution of an unsecured appearance bond. Under the bill, the criminal offenses that pose a threat to public safety and order include criminal offenses involving a violent or sexual act (e.g., burglary, murder, or rape) and offenses that promote public disorder (e.g., looting or vandalism). On August 25, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an executive order that required the Department of Justice to submit to the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security a list of state and local jurisdictions that have substantially eliminated cash bail as a potential condition for pretrial release for crimes that pose a clear threat to public safety and order, including offenses involving violent, sexual, or indecent acts, or burglary, looting, or vandalism.

Equal Treatment for Farmers Act

This bill would remove federal laws and programs that provide special assistance to farmers and ranchers from disadvantaged backgrounds, including minority-owned farms and those owned by women or veterans. The changes would affect loan programs, grants, and other support services currently available through the U.S. Department of Agriculture to help these groups start or expand their farming operations.

Home School Graduation Recognition Act

Home School Graduation Recognition Act This bill clarifies that students who complete their secondary education in a home school setting recognized under state law are high school graduates for purposes of eligibility for federal student aid.

Child Predators Accountability Act

Child Predators Accountability Act of 2025 This bill broadens the scope of prohibited conduct under two federal criminal statutes related to the production of child pornography. Under current law, both statutes prohibit employing, using, persuading, inducing, enticing, or coercing a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing a visual depiction or transmitting a live visual depiction of the conduct. This bill expands prohibited conduct to include employing, using, persuading, inducing, enticing, or coercing a minor to be depicted engaging in sexually explicit conduct. The bill also defines the term engage in to include a minor's presence in a such a depiction regardless of whether or not the minor is participating in the sexually explicit conduct.

No Taxpayer Funded Abortion Travel for Illegal Aliens Act

This bill would prohibit federal funds from being used to pay for travel expenses related to abortion services for undocumented immigrants. The measure targets government spending on transportation costs for people without legal immigration status who seek abortion care, affecting both the immigrants themselves and federal agencies that administer health and immigration programs.

Free Speech Fairness Act

Despite its title, this bill addresses tax policy rather than free speech issues. Based on its referral to the tax committee, it likely proposes changes to how certain organizations or activities are taxed, though the specific provisions would need to be reviewed to determine which taxpayers or business types would be affected.

No Asylum for Criminals Act of 2025

This bill would make it harder for people with criminal records to seek asylum in the United States by expanding the types of crimes that automatically disqualify someone from receiving asylum protection. The changes would affect immigrants and asylum seekers who have been convicted of certain offenses, potentially sending them back to their home countries even if they face danger there.

Teleabortion Prevention Act of 2025

Teleabortion Prevention Act of 2025 This bill restricts the use of telehealth for chemical abortions (also known as medication abortions). Specifically, it requires a provider who dispenses or prescribes medication for a chemical abortion to physically examine the patient, be physically present at the location of the chemical abortion, and schedule a follow-up visit for the patient. The bill provides an exception for a chemical abortion that is necessary to save the life of a mother whose life is endangered by a physical disorder, illness, injury, or condition. The bill establishes criminal penalties—a fine, a prison term of up to two years, or both—for a provider who does not comply with the requirements. A patient who undergoes a chemical abortion may not be prosecuted.
