Campaign Finance Transparency Act

The proposal would change rules about how much money people and groups can give to candidates and political parties running for Congress and the presidency, and would restructure how the Federal Election Commission operates to potentially make it function more efficiently. These changes would affect candidates, donors, political parties, and voters by altering the landscape of campaign financing and the agency responsible for enforcing election laws. The bill is currently under review by the House Committee on House Administration.

This resolution supports the designation of National Scam Survivor Day.

Preventing Foreign Interference in American Elections Act

The bill aims to strengthen protections against foreign countries and actors trying to interfere with U.S. elections through hacking, disinformation, or other tactics. It would likely give election officials and law enforcement new tools or requirements to detect and prevent foreign interference attempts. The measure affects election administrators, voters, and federal agencies responsible for election security.

To amend title 5, United States Code, to authorize the increase of the retirement age in the United States Capitol Police.

This bill authorizes the Capitol Police Board to waive the mandatory retirement age for members of the Capitol Police up to age 65. (Under current law, a member of the Capitol Police is generally subject to mandatory retirement at age 57 but may receive a waiver from the board authorizing later retirement up to age 60.)

Fair Air Standards Act

The proposal would create a new process allowing regions that don't currently meet federal air quality standards for ozone to be officially recognized as meeting those standards once they demonstrate they've made sufficient improvements. This would affect communities struggling with smog and air pollution, as well as the businesses and industries operating in those areas that have been working to reduce emissions. The change would potentially ease some environmental regulations in areas that have successfully cleaned up their air.

Protecting Americans’ Retirement Savings From Politics Act

This bill would restrict how retirement investment funds can use their shareholders' money to influence political campaigns and elections. The legislation aims to prevent pension funds and other retirement savings vehicles from spending workers' retirement money on political activities without their direct consent. It would primarily affect large investment firms, pension funds, and the workers whose retirement savings are managed by these institutions.

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives with respect to the use of artificial intelligence in the financial services and housing industries.

This resolution supports the House Committee on Financial Services playing a leading role in making public policy regarding the adoption of artificial intelligence in the financial services and housing industries.

Withhold Member Pay During Shutdowns Act

This bill would prevent members of Congress from receiving their paychecks during government shutdowns, only restoring their pay once the shutdown ends and the government is fully funded again. The measure is designed to create financial pressure on lawmakers to reach budget agreements quickly rather than allowing shutdowns to drag on while they continue earning salaries. It affects only members of Congress, not other federal employees.

Stop Insider Trading Act

This bill would establish stricter rules to prevent members of Congress and federal employees from trading stocks based on non-public information they learn through their government work. The legislation aims to close loopholes that currently allow lawmakers and officials to profit from insider knowledge about government decisions before the public finds out about them. It would apply penalties to those who violate the restrictions and require more transparency in their financial transactions.

Make Elections Great Again Act

Without access to the bill's specific text, this appears to be legislation addressing election administration and voting procedures, likely proposing changes to how federal elections are conducted or overseen. The bill has been referred to multiple House committees that handle election law, government oversight, and security matters, suggesting it may involve reforms to voting processes, election security, or the role of federal agencies in managing elections. The exact impact on voters, election officials, or voting procedures would depend on the bill's detailed provisions.

Expanding WKSI Eligibility Act

This bill reduces the required aggregate market value of voting and non-voting common equity shares for an issuer of securities to qualify as a well-known seasoned issuer. A well-known seasoned issuer is allowed to make expedited public offerings of securities through automatic shelf registrations.

American Flags to Honor Our Veterans Act of 2025

American Flags to Honor Our Veterans Act of 2025 This bill authorizes the display of the American flag in an upright position directly adjacent to the grave site of a deceased member of the Armed Forces or veteran, regardless of other time and display requirements.

Supporting the designation of May 8, 2025, as "National Scam Survivor Day".

The proposal would officially recognize May 8, 2025, as "National Scam Survivor Day" to raise awareness about fraud and honor people who have been victims of scams. The designation aims to highlight the problem of consumer fraud and support efforts to educate the public about how to avoid becoming scam victims. This symbolic recognition does not create new laws or programs, but rather designates a specific day for national awareness and recognition.

CURD Act

Codifying Useful Regulatory Definitions Act or the CURD Act This bill establishes a statutory definition for natural cheese . Under the bill, natural cheese is defined as cheese (ripened or unripened soft, semi-soft, or hard) that is produced from animal milk or certain dairy ingredients and is produced in accordance with established cheese-making standards. The definition excludes pasteurized process cheeses, cheese foods, and cheese spreads. A food that does not meet this definition is deemed misbranded and may not be sold if its label includes the term natural cheese as a factual descriptor of a category of cheese.
