HR 95 United States House · 119th Congress

One Bill, One Subject Transparency Act

HR 95, the "One Bill, One Subject Transparency Act," would require every legislative bill or joint resolution to address only one specific topic, with that topic clearly stated in the bill's title. It specifically prohibits appropriations bills from including unrelated general laws or changes to existing rules, and would void any such non-compliant provisions. If passed, this law would allow any person - including lawmakers - to file a lawsuit seeking to block enforcement of bills that violate these rules, with courts reviewing such cases without deference to the legislature. The law would only apply to bills signed into law after its enactment date.
