Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act of 20 25 This bill revises provisions relating to congressional review of agency rulemaking. Specifically, the bill establishes a congressional approval process for a major rule. A major rule may only take effect if Congress approves of the rule. A major rule is a rule that has resulted in or is likely to result in (1) an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more; (2) a major increase in costs or prices for consumers, individual industries, government agencies, or geographic regions; or (3) significant adverse effects on competition, employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or the ability of U.S.-based enterprises to compete with foreign-based enterprises. The bill generally preserves the current congressional review process for a nonmajor rule.

Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act This bill establishes requirements for the degree of care a health care practitioner must provide in the case of a child born alive following an abortion or attempted abortion. Specifically, a health care practitioner who is present must (1) exercise the same degree of care as would reasonably be provided to any other child born alive at the same gestational age, and (2) ensure the child is immediately admitted to a hospital. Additionally, a health care practitioner or other employee who has knowledge of a failure to comply with the degree-of-care requirements must immediately report such failure to law enforcement. A health care practitioner who fails to provide the required degree of care, or a health care practitioner or other employee who fails to report such failure, is subject to criminal penalties—a fine, up to five years in prison, or both. An individual who intentionally kills or attempts to kill a child born alive is subject to prosecution for murder. The bill bars the criminal prosecution of a mother of a child born alive under this bill and allows her to bring a civil action against a health care practitioner or other employee for violations.

Laken Riley Act This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to detain certain non-U.S. nationals ( aliens under federal law) who have been arrested for burglary, theft, larceny, or shoplifting. The bill also authorizes states to sue the federal government for decisions or alleged failures related to immigration enforcement. Under this bill, DHS must detain an individual who (1) is unlawfully present in the United States or did not possess the necessary documents when applying for admission; and (2) has been charged with, arrested for, convicted of, or admits to having committed acts that constitute the essential elements of burglary, theft, larceny, or shoplifting. The bill also authorizes state governments to sue for injunctive relief over certain immigration-related decisions or alleged failures by the federal government if the decision or failure caused the state or its residents harm, including financial harm of more than $100. Specifically, the state government may sue the federal government over a decision to release a non-U.S. national from custody; failure to fulfill requirements relating to inspecting individuals seeking admission into the United States, including requirements related to asylum interviews; failure to fulfill a requirement to stop issuing visas to nationals of a country that unreasonably denies or delays acceptance of nationals of that country; violation of limitations on immigration parole, such as the requirement that parole be granted only on a case-by-case basis; or failure to detain an individual who has been ordered removed from the United States.

Matthew Lawrence Perna Act of 2025 This bill limits certain actions by the federal government related to the criminal prosecution and sentencing of individuals who are charged with a political protest offense. A political protest offense is a federal criminal offense that arises out of protest activities and is not a crime of violence. The bill also makes other changes that apply more broadly to curtail certain investigations and prosecutions of federal criminal offenses. With respect to individuals who are charged with a political protest offense, the bill prohibits pretrial detention, generally requires the federal criminal trial to begin within 70 days of being charged or making an initial appearance before the court, and expresses the sense of Congress that the sentence imposed should be consistent with the minimum sentence provided by the guideline range applicable to the defendant. With respect to investigations and prosecutions of federal criminal offenses more broadly, the bill makes the United States potentially liable for malicious overprosecution committed by federal investigative or law enforcement officers, limits the use of a national security authority (e.g., the Central Intelligence Agency) against a U.S. citizen, requires federal agencies to disclose whether the United States is or was investigating or surveilling a U.S. citizen when that information is requested under the Freedom of Information Act, and allows a defendant on trial for a criminal offense in the District of Columbia to change the venue of the trial to the U.S. district court that covers his or her primary residence.

Healthcare Freedom Act of 2025 This bill renames health savings accounts (HSAs) as health freedom accounts (HFAs), modifies the eligibility requirements and contribution limits for such accounts, and expands the definition of qualified medical expenses. The bill also eliminates the exclusion from income of employer contributions to a health plan for certain individuals. Under current law, individuals may establish and contribute to an HSA if covered under an HSA-eligible high-deductible health plan (HDHP). For 2025, HSA contributions are limited to $4,300 for self-only coverage or $8,550 for family coverage (adjusted annually). Individuals 55 or older may make an additional HSA contribution of up to $1,000 per year. Further, HSA distributions are tax-free if used to pay for qualified medical expenses. The bill allows individuals to establish and contribute to an HFA without being enrolled in an HDHP, contribute up to $12,000 ($24,000 for joint filers) per year to an HFA (adjusted annually), and contribute an additional $5,000 per year to an HFA if 55 or older. The bill also expands the definition of qualified medical expenses to include expenses related to direct primary care, health care sharing ministries, and medical cost sharing organizations. For individuals hired at least five years after the bill's enactment (1) employer contributions to an HFA may be excluded from the employee's income, and (2) the bill eliminates the exclusion from income of employer contributions to other health plans. (Under current law, employer contributions to a health plan generally are not included in the individual’s income.)

(The protocols generally required aliens who are not clearly admissible, including those seeking asylum, arriving by land along the U.S.-Mexico border to be returned to Mexico while their immigration proceedings are pending, rather than remain in the United States. On January 21, 2021, DHS stopped applying the protocols to newly-arrived individuals.)

United States Reciprocal Trade Act This bill expands presidential trade authorities. The bill allows the President, in certain circumstances, to (1) negotiate with a foreign country for tariff reductions on exported U.S. goods, or (2) impose additional duties on imported goods. Specifically, the President may take these actions if it is determined that the country (1) when importing a good from the United States, applies a higher rate of duty on that good than the rate imposed by the United States when the good is imported from that country; or (2) similarly imposes other, nontariff trade restrictions on that good. This authority shall be effective for three years, subject to a three-year renewal. The President must terminate a rate of duty increase under this bill if the country no longer applies such higher rates or nontariff trade restrictions, or if the higher rate is no longer in the interest of the United States. The bill also requires the President to consult with and notify Congress regarding the intention of the President to increase a rate of duty on imported goods. Congress may nullify a rate of duty increase implemented under this bill through a joint resolution of disapproval.
