S 242: Dignity for Aborted Children Act

This bill requires abortion providers to obtain patient consent for disposal of fetal tissue after an abortion, offering options to take the tissue or have the provider arrange interment or cremation within 7 days. It mandates providers to document consent, report annual abortion statistics and disposal methods to the Health Secretary, and face penalties including up to $50,000 fines or 5 years in prison for violations. The law directly affects abortion providers (clinics and doctors) and patients undergoing abortions, with no change to abortion access itself. Key provisions include standardized consent forms, disposal requirements aligned with state laws for human remains, and annual federal reporting on abortion procedures and tissue disposal.

S 253: Abortion Is Not Health Care Act of 2025

This bill changes U.S. tax law by removing abortion expenses from the list of medical costs taxpayers can deduct. It specifically states that amounts paid for abortions cannot be counted toward medical expense deductions on federal tax returns, affecting individuals who pay for abortions and might have claimed them as deductible medical expenses. Exceptions apply for abortions needed to treat life-endangering physical conditions related to pregnancy, or in cases of rape or incest, as certified by a physician. The law would take effect for tax years beginning after its enactment. This is a tax policy change, not a restriction on abortion access.

S 251: Protecting Life in Health Savings Accounts Act

This bill restricts health savings accounts (HSAs), Archer MSAs, health flexible spending accounts, and health reimbursement arrangements from covering most abortion expenses. It allows exceptions only for abortions resulting from rape or incest, or when a pregnancy poses a life-endangering risk to the woman (as certified by a physician). The law amends tax code provisions to exclude non-exempt abortion costs from being treated as qualified medical expenses for tax purposes. These changes take effect for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025, directly affecting individuals using these specific tax-advantaged health accounts.

HR 719: No Abortion Coverage for Medicaid Act

HR 719, the "No Abortion Coverage for Medicaid Act," would prohibit federal Medicaid funds from covering abortions under any Medicaid demonstration projects or waivers, with limited exceptions. It specifically blocks federal financial assistance for abortion services or related expenses (like travel) in Medicaid programs, except in cases of rape or incest, life-threatening pregnancy conditions, or treatment for miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. This bill directly affects Medicaid recipients in states participating in federal demonstration projects, preventing them from using Medicaid funds for abortion services except under the narrow exceptions listed. The bill aims to permanently align Medicaid funding with the longstanding Hyde Amendment restrictions.

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.

S 199: A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide special rules for the taxation of certain residents of Taiwan with income from sources within the United States.

S 199 would create special tax rules for "qualified residents of Taiwan" with income from U.S. sources. It would lower tax rates on interest, dividends, and royalties from 30% to 10% (15% for some dividends), provide tax relief for certain wages paid to Taiwan residents working in the U.S., and exempt income from entertainment or athletic activities up to $30,000. The bill establishes specific requirements for entities to qualify for these benefits, including ownership and income criteria. It also creates a process for the U.S. to negotiate a formal tax agreement with Taiwan to further address double taxation concerns.

S 205: Protecting Individuals with Down Syndrome Act

Protecting Individuals with Down Syndrome Act This bill creates new federal crimes related to the performance of an abortion on an unborn child who has Down syndrome. It subjects a violator to criminal penalties—a fine, a prison term of up to five years, or both. It also authorizes civil remedies, including damages and injunctive relief. A woman who undergoes such an abortion may not be prosecuted or held civilly liable.

S 207: Protecting Life on College Campus Act of 2025

This bill prohibits federal funding (directly or indirectly) for colleges and universities that host or are affiliated with campus health clinics providing abortion drugs or abortions to students or staff. Institutions must submit annual reports certifying no such services are offered to remain eligible for federal funds. The law also prevents states from penalizing schools for complying with this funding restriction. It specifically defines "abortion drugs" and "school-based service sites" (excluding hospitals) to clarify coverage.

S 212: POLICE Act of 2025

This bill amends immigration law to make non-citizens subject to deportation if convicted of assaulting a law enforcement officer, firefighter, or first responder while they were performing official duties, due to their duties, or because of their status. It defines "assault" under local law and expands "law enforcement officer" to include those preventing, investigating, or prosecuting crimes. The bill also requires the Department of Homeland Security to annually report the number of such deportations to Congress and the public. The policy directly affects non-citizens convicted of qualifying assaults against covered personnel, with no new enforcement mechanisms beyond existing deportation procedures.

S 213: Main Street Tax Certainty Act

S 213, the Main Street Tax Certainty Act, makes the qualified business income deduction permanent for small business owners. It directly affects pass-through business owners (like sole proprietors and small partnerships) who currently benefit from this tax break. The bill removes the temporary expiration of Section 199A of the tax code, providing long-term certainty for these taxpayers by ensuring they can continue deducting up to 20% of their qualified business income.

S 223: Restoring the First Amendment and Right to Peaceful Civil Disobedience Act of 2025

This bill repeals a federal law (18 U.S.C. § 248) that prohibited blocking access to clinic entrances, particularly abortion clinics. It directly affects protesters who block clinic entrances and law enforcement handling such protests by removing the federal criminal penalty for this action. The key provision is the complete repeal of Section 248, meaning blocking clinic access would no longer be a federal crime under this law, applying to prosecutions starting on or after the bill's enactment date.

S 225: End Unaccountable Amnesty Act

The End Unaccountable Amnesty Act (S 225) makes significant changes to U.S. immigration policy. It restricts Temporary Protected Status (TPS) by requiring new legislation with specific conditions to designate foreign countries, limits TPS designations to 12 months with no automatic extensions, and mandates termination if conditions no longer exist. The bill also reforms immigration parole to limit it to specific humanitarian or public benefit cases, caps parole grants at 1,000 per year, and prohibits certain identification documents like the CBP One app from being used for air travel. Additionally, it repeals provisions for "cancellation of removal" and changes procedures for handling unaccompanied alien children.
