HR 199: Implementing DOGE Act

This bill requires automatic, across-the-board spending cuts to nonsecurity federal programs for fiscal years 2026 and beyond. It targets nonsecurity discretionary spending (like education, transportation, and environmental programs) by rescinding the percentage of growth above 1% compared to the previous year's funding. The cuts apply proportionally to all nonsecurity programs after appropriations are made available for the fiscal year (by September 30). Security-related spending (such as defense) is excluded from these reductions.

HR 2378: Defining Male and Female Act of 2025

This bill amends the U.S. Code to define key terms like "sex," "male," and "female" based on biological characteristics present at conception, specifically referencing reproductive anatomy. It requires all federal agencies, courts, and Congress to use these biological definitions when interpreting laws, regulations, or agency actions - replacing current interpretations that consider gender identity. The bill explicitly states that "gender identity" does not constitute a valid basis for determining sex under federal law. This change would directly affect how federal agencies implement existing laws related to healthcare, education, employment, and civil rights by mandating biological sex definitions in their operations.

HR 7196: To amend the District of Columbia Home Rule Act to prohibit the Council of the District of Columbia from enacting any law to permit euthanasia and assisted suicide in the District of Columbia, and for other purposes.

HR 7196 prohibits the District of Columbia Council from passing any law permitting euthanasia or assisted suicide. It directly affects DC residents and the Council by blocking the legalization of these practices within the District. The bill amends the Home Rule Act to add a new prohibition against enacting any law related to euthanasia or assisted suicide, and it repeals DC's existing 2016 Death With Dignity Act. These changes prevent the District from implementing such policies through legislation, regulations, or other legal mechanisms.

S 334: American Values Act

This bill permanently prohibits U.S. foreign assistance funds from being used for abortions, involuntary sterilizations, or related biomedical research. It amends the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 and the Peace Corps Act to block funding for organizations supporting coercive abortion or sterilization programs. The law directly affects all U.S. government programs distributing foreign aid, including international health and development initiatives. It ensures funds cannot cover abortion services as family planning, lobbying on abortion, or programs involving coercion.

HR 4512: TRANS MICE Act

HR 4512, the TRANS MICE Act, prohibits federal funding for research on non-human vertebrate animals (excluding certain species that naturally change sex or have both reproductive organs) that aims to alter their physical characteristics to no longer match their biological sex. This includes research disrupting development, inhibiting natural body functions, or modifying appearance. The bill directly affects federally funded researchers and institutions conducting such animal studies, banning all federal financial support for this specific type of research. It does not ban the research itself but restricts the use of taxpayer funds for it, applying to mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians (excluding "excepted animals" like some hermaphroditic species). The law focuses on funding mechanisms, not on human transgender care.

HR 3708: No Place for LGBTQ+ Hate Act

HR 3708, the "No Place for LGBTQ+ Hate Act," repeals five specific executive orders targeting LGBTQ+ rights and blocks federal funding for their implementation. It directly affects transgender, nonbinary, intersex, and gender-nonconforming individuals by reversing policies that: mandated discrimination in employment/healthcare (EO 14168), reinstated a military ban (EO 14183), restricted transgender youth healthcare (EO 14187), barred transgender female students from sports (EO 14201), and required schools to deny transgender existence (EO 14190). The bill’s key mechanism prohibits federal funds from being used to enforce these orders, effectively nullifying them. This is a procedural repeal bill focused on reversing specific executive actions, not creating new laws.

HR 32: No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act

This bill denies federal funds to states or localities (sanctuary jurisdictions) that restrict sharing immigration status information or refuse to comply with federal detainer requests under specific circumstances. It specifically blocks funding intended for services like food, shelter, healthcare, legal aid, or transportation for undocumented immigrants. The funding cutoff begins 60 days after enactment or the next fiscal year start. An exception applies if a jurisdiction cooperates when an undocumented immigrant is a crime victim or witness.

S 707: No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act

S 707, the "No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act," defines "sanctuary jurisdictions" as states or localities that restrict sharing immigration status information with federal authorities or refuse to comply with federal detainer requests (except for crime victims/witnesses). The bill prohibits such jurisdictions from receiving federal funds intended to provide services like food, shelter, healthcare, legal aid, or transportation to undocumented immigrants, starting 60 days after enactment or the next fiscal year. It requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to annually report to Congress on jurisdictions failing to comply with federal immigration requests.

S 1147: Defining Male and Female Act of 2025

This bill defines biological sex for federal law by amending Title 1 of the U.S. Code. It specifies that "female" means a person biologically characterized by egg-producing systems at conception, "male" means sperm-producing systems at conception, and "gender identity" is not recognized as replacing biological sex in federal contexts. The law directly affects all federal agencies, departments, and laws requiring interpretation of terms like "sex," "female," or "male" by mandating these biological definitions. It does not create new programs or funding but changes how federal agencies must interpret existing laws and regulations.
