The No CIG Act eliminates the Federal Transit Administration's Fixed Guideway Capital Investment Grants program by repealing the relevant sections of the U.S. Code. This change directly affects public transit agencies that previously received funding for building or upgrading rail systems, as they will no longer be eligible for these specific grants. The bill removes the legal authority for the program and makes corresponding adjustments to related code sections to ensure consistency.

HR 7843: No Free Rides Act of 2026

This bill, known as the No Free Rides Act of 2026, would prohibit federal public transportation funding recipients from offering universal free fare policies that allow all riders to use transit services without paying. The law would still permit targeted fare policies that provide free or reduced-cost rides for specific groups such as seniors, low-income riders, students, or employees with employer-paid agreements. Additionally, the Secretary of Transportation could grant waivers if a transit agency can demonstrate a dedicated non-federal revenue source to support universal free fare programs. The measure directly affects public transportation agencies that receive federal assistance under Title 49 of the United States Code.

HR 6072, the "No Aid for Illegal Entry Act," prohibits federal funding for non-governmental organizations (like nonprofits) that provide legal services, housing, or transportation to undocumented immigrants who entered the U.S. without authorization. It also blocks the Department of the Interior from managing services related to immigration enforcement, legal representation, or resettlement.

HR 3081: Law Enforcement Solidarity Act

HR 3081, the Law Enforcement Solidarity Act, restricts federal funding for jurisdictions that prohibit local law enforcement from cooperating with federal officers. Beginning 60 days after enactment, such jurisdictions become ineligible for federal funds intended to provide services like food, shelter, healthcare, legal aid, or transportation to undocumented immigrants. The bill defines a "jurisdiction with law enforcement cooperation restrictions" as any state or local government that blocks officials from assisting, aiding, or responding to federal law enforcement requests. This directly affects local governments with policies limiting collaboration with federal immigration enforcement. The law aims to link federal funding eligibility to cooperation with federal law enforcement on immigration matters.

S 2992: Gas Can Freedom Act of 2025

The Gas Can Freedom Act of 2025 repeals two existing federal safety laws: the Portable Fuel Container Safety Act of 2020 and the Children’s Gasoline Burn Prevention Act. It removes current requirements for portable fuel containers to include flame mitigation devices or child-resistant features. The bill also prohibits the Consumer Product Safety Commission from creating new rules mandating these safety features in the future. This directly affects manufacturers of portable fuel containers and the CPSC, eliminating existing regulatory requirements and preventing new ones.

S 995: Choice in Automobile Retail Sales Act of 2025

This bill repeals the EPA's 2024 emissions standards for light- and medium-duty vehicles and amends the Clean Air Act to prevent future regulations from mandating specific technologies or limiting new vehicle availability based on engine type. It directly affects the EPA's regulatory authority and vehicle manufacturers by blocking technology mandates and restrictions on engine types in new vehicles. Key provisions require the EPA to revise regulations within 24 months to align with these changes, ensuring no federal rules limit vehicle choices based on engine technology. The bill's title is misleading, as it does not address automobile retail sales or consumer choice at dealerships.
