CLEAN Congress Act

HR 157, the CLEAN Congress Act, requires every congressional bill, resolution, or vote to address only one subject clearly stated in its title. It also mandates that all federal laws apply equally to Members of Congress and their staff, removing special exceptions for lawmakers. The bill directly affects how Congress drafts and passes legislation, aiming to increase transparency by preventing unrelated provisions in single bills. These changes apply starting with the 119th Congress and do not restrict routine official duties like accessing Capitol buildings.
