Lawmaker Position

Condemning Socialism and Defending Individual Liberty, Private Property, and Free Enterprise.

The "Denouncing the horrors of socialism" concurrent resolution, sponsored by Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL), expresses the sense of Congress that socialism should be denounced in all its forms and that Congress opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States. The resolution lays out a series of findings describing the historic record of socialist and communist regimes, including famine, repression, and mass death, and it highlights how centralized economic control often collapses into authoritarian rule. It also underscores America's founding principles by citing the importance of property rights, personal liberty, and the freedom to enjoy the fruits of one's labor.
Support is the Limited Government Position as socialism requires centralized power that undermines personal freedom, private property, and voluntary exchange – the very antithesis of limited government.

Restoring American Energy and Jobs by Reversing the Biden-Era Plan that Shut Down Future Federal Coal Leasing.

This resolution, sponsored by Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY), uses the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to nullify a former Biden administration rule implemented at the Bureau of Land Management titled "Buffalo Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment" on November 20, 2024. The Biden-era rule made no federal coal available for future leasing in the Buffalo Field Office area, effectively ending future federal coal leasing in Wyoming's Powder River Basin. By disapproving the 2024 rule, Congress would undo those restrictions and revert management back to the 2020 Trump-era plan, thus expanding the domestic energy supply.
Support is the Limited Government Position as the Biden-era decision locked up domestic resources and unnecessarily raised consumer costs.
Nullifying this rule helps unleash American energy dominance and increases taxpayer revenues.

Repealing the Biden-Era ANWR Coastal Plain Leasing Restrictions to Restore Domestic Energy Production and Lower Costs.

This resolution, sponsored by Rep. Nicholas Begich (R-AK), uses the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to nullify a former Biden administration rule implemented at the Bureau of Land Management titled "Coastal Plain Oil and Gas Leasing Program Record of Decision" on December 9, 2024. The Biden-era rule changed how oil and gas leasing can occur in the Coastal Plain program area within the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The Biden-era decision replaced the 2020 record of decision under the first Trump administration that had made the full 1.6 million acre program area available for leasing. The Biden-era decision made only 400,000 acres available for leasing (the statutory minimum) placing roughly 1.2 million acres off-limits.
Support is the Limited Government Position as the Biden-era decision locked up domestic resources and unnecessarily raised consumer costs.
Nullifying this rule helps unleash American energy dominance and increases taxpayer revenues.

Protecting Parents and Students by Blocking CCP-Linked Money and Contracts in K-12 Public Schools.

The "Combating the Lies of Authoritarians in School Systems Act," also known as the "CLASS Act," sponsored by Rep. David Joyce (R-OH), prohibits public elementary and secondary schools from accepting funds from, or entering into contracts with, the Government of the People's Republic of China, the Chinese Communist Party, or their agents as a condition of receiving federal K-12 education funds. The bill also requires schools to disclose certain funds received from, or contracts with, a foreign source to the U.S. Department of Education, including reporting foreign funding or contracts above a set threshold. According to supporters, the CLASS Act is meant to stop foreign adversaries from buying access to school programs and materials, and to ensure families and communities are not kept in the dark when outside actors seek influence in local classrooms.
Support is the Limited Government Position as taxpayers should not be forced to subsidize school arrangements that invite foreign adversary influence and propaganda into American communities.
This measure strengthens transparency and accountability tied to existing federal funds without creating a new federal spending program.

Empowering Parents by Requiring Transparency About Foreign Adversary Funding and Influence in K-12 Schools.

The "Transparency in Reporting of Adversarial Contributions to Education Act," sponsored by Rep. Aaron Bean (R-FL), amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to establish a "Parents' Right to Know About Foreign Influence" as a condition for local educational agencies receiving federal K-12 funds. The bill requires school districts to notify parents of their right to request and receive information regarding foreign influence in schools, including covered support or contributions tied to foreign governments or foreign entities of concern. It also requires disclosures related to curriculum and professional development materials connected to such foreign involvement, along with related agreements and arrangements that may shape what children are taught. According to supporters, the measure is aimed at deterring foreign adversaries, including the Chinese Communist Party, from using funding streams and school partnerships to influence classroom content and school operations without parents' knowledge.
Support is the Limited Government Position as parents, not distant bureaucracies or foreign actors, should have transparency and control over influences in their children's education.
This bill strengthens accountability and disclosure standards tied to existing federal funds without creating a new federal spending program.

Stopping Chinese Communist Influence in K-12 Schools by Cutting Off Federal Funds to Confucius-Linked Programs.

The "Promoting Responsible Oversight To Eliminate Communist Teachings for Our Kids Act," also known as the "PROTECT Our Kids Act," sponsored by Rep. Kevin Hern (R-OK), prohibits federal education funds from going to any elementary or secondary school that directly or indirectly receives support from the Government of the People's Republic of China. The bill applies to schools that have partnerships with Chinese government-funded cultural or language institutes, including Confucius Institutes, operate Chinese government-supported "Confucius Classrooms," or receive Chinese-linked support such as teaching materials, personnel, funds, or other resources. According to supporters, the measure is designed to prevent foreign adversaries from gaining a foothold in local classrooms through partnerships and resources that can shape curriculum, messaging, and school activities without meaningful accountability to families and taxpayers.
Support is the Limited Government Position as federal education dollars should not subsidize arrangements that invite foreign government influence into local schools.
Cutting off funding for CCP-linked programs strengthens accountability and protects parents and communities without creating a new federal spending program.

Restoring Regulatory Certainty for Domestic Mining Projects to Strengthen America's Critical Minerals Supply Chain

The bill H.R. 1366, the Mining Regulatory Clarity Act of 2025, introduced by Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV), would clarify that mining operators may use federal lands for activities ancillary to mining (such as waste rock and tailings disposal) through mill site claims, regardless of whether the land itself contains valuable mineral deposits. The bill responds to the Ninth Circuit's 2022 Rosemont decision, which created new uncertainty for mine plans by calling into question long-standing federal practice for approving these support sites. According to supporters, the bill is needed to prevent litigation-driven permitting chaos that blocks domestic mineral production and deepens America's reliance on foreign adversaries for critical minerals.
Support is the Limited Government Position because it provides clear rules that limit bureaucratic gamesmanship and reduce permitting uncertainty that can be used to stall lawful projects.
It also helps strengthen domestic supply chains without expanding federal control over private industry.

Growing Unnecessary Government Bureaucracy through More Reporting Mandates Under the "DHS Vehicular Terrorism Prevention and Mitigation Act".

This bill, introduced by Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-FL), would require the Department of Homeland Security, in coordination with the Transportation Security Administration and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, to submit a report to Congress on efforts to prevent, deter, and respond to vehicular terrorism. The report would have to assess current and emerging threats, review high-risk locations, examine vulnerabilities involving technologies such as autonomous and connected vehicles, and include recommendations for research, development, and other countermeasures, followed by a congressional briefing on the findings. According to opponents of the bill, Congress should not respond to every threat by ordering another federal report and briefing requirement when DHS and its component agencies already have authority to coordinate, assess threats, and respond to terrorism. They argued that the measure risks duplicating existing responsibilities, adding another layer of bureaucracy, and shifting focus away from actual execution, while still adding taxpayer cost.
Oppose is the Limited Government Position as Congress should not answer every potential threat by creating another Washington reporting mandate for agencies that already possess the authority to act.
Vehicular terrorism is a real danger, but lawmakers should insist on better execution of existing responsibilities rather than more bureaucracy, more paperwork, and more taxpayer expense.

Unlocking American Energy Abundance by Ending Federal Barriers that Slow LNG Exports and Raise Costs at Home.

The "Unlocking our Domestic LNG Potential Act of 2025," sponsored by Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX), reforms the federal approval process for importing and exporting natural gas under the Natural Gas Act. The bill transfers key approval authority from the Department of Energy to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, aligning export and import decisions with the same regulator that already reviews related infrastructure. According to supporters, this change is intended to streamline a delayed and politicized permitting process that has restricted U.S. liquefied natural gas exports and discouraged long-term investment.
Support is the Limited Government Position as the federal government should not use bureaucratic delay and discretionary approvals to restrict private energy production and exports.
This bill reduces red tape and unleash American energy dominance.

Enriching Labor Unions at the Expense of Taxpayers by Overturning President Trump's Executive Order that Limited Collective Bargaining in the Federal Workforce.

The Protect America's Workforce Act, introduced by Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME), would nullify (repeal) President Trump's executive order titled "Exclusions from Federal Labor-Management Relations Programs," issued on March 27, 2025. That executive order excluded specified executive agencies and subdivisions from the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute, which governs federal collective bargaining and related labor-management rules. The bill would then reauthorize all the collective bargaining agreements that were terminated by President Trump. In practice, this legislation would reassert federal union bargaining across parts of the federal workforce that were carved out for mission and management reasons, limiting agency flexibility and strengthening a government union system that often protects bureaucracy over performance.
Oppose is the Limited Government Position because it strengthens public-sector union power and makes it harder to manage the federal workforce in the taxpayers' interest.
Congress should prioritize efficient, accountable government, not policies that entrench bureaucracy and constrain executive branch management.

Growing Unnecessary Government Bureaucracy through Creation of More Task Forces Under the "Strengthening Cyber Resilience Against State-Sponsored Threats Act".

The "Strengthening Cyber Resilience Against State-Sponsored Threats Act", introduced by Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN), would require the Department of Homeland Security, acting through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, in consultation with the FBI and other federal agencies, to establish a joint interagency task force to detect, analyze, and respond to cybersecurity threats posed by Chinese state-sponsored actors targeting U.S. critical infrastructure. The bill would require annual reports for the next five years, and recurring classified briefings, while the Congressional Budget Office estimated the measure would cost taxpayers about $5 million over the 2025-2030 period, with additional reporting costs on top of that. According to opponents, Congress should not respond to every potential threat by creating another federal task force and reporting mandate when existing agencies already have authority to coordinate, share intelligence, and address cybersecurity threats. They argued the bill risks duplicating ongoing efforts, expanding bureaucracy, and shifting attention away from actual execution and enforcement while adding more administrative costs for taxpayers.
Oppose is the Limited Government Position as Congress should not create another Washington task force and reporting regime that duplicates work agencies are already authorized to perform.
Cybersecurity threats from China are serious, but the answer is better execution of existing authority, not more bureaucracy and taxpayer expense.

Protecting Small Businesses from Rising Federal Compliance Costs Through the "Small Business Regulatory Reduction Act of 2025".

The "Small Business Regulatory Reduction Act of 2025" sponsored by Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-TX) requires the Small Business Administration (SBA) to ensure its regulatory changes do not raise compliance costs for small businesses. This is accomplished by requiring the annual "small business regulatory budget" for SBA rulemaking to be no greater than zero. The bill defines that regulatory budget as the compliance cost to small businesses from federal rulemaking, including new rules as well as changes to existing rules. The sponsor noted the record-breaking $1.8 trillion in regulatory costs that had been imposed by the previous Biden administration.
Support is the Limited Government Position as this bill restrains federal bureaucratic overreach and helps prevent additional compliance burdens that harm entrepreneurs and workers.
It also pushes transparency and accountability for the true cost of federal regulation.

Advancing Energy Security by Exposing the Federal and State Policies Blocking U.S. Refining Capacity.

The "Researching Efficient Federal Improvements for Necessary Energy Refining Act," also known as the "REFINER Act," sponsored by Rep. Bob Latta (R-OH), requires the National Petroleum Council to publish a report on U.S. petrochemical refineries. The report must address the role refineries play in U.S. energy security, opportunities and risks related to expanding capacity, and identify federal or state executive actions that have contributed to a decline in refining capacity. It must also provide recommendations to increase refining capacity. According to supporters, this is a needed step toward identifying the government-driven barriers and policy decisions that have made it harder to expand domestic refining, leaving families and employers exposed to price spikes and supply disruptions.
Support is the Limited Government Position as this measure helps promote American energy dominance by identifying regulatory and political obstacles that restrict domestic energy production and raise costs.

Expanding Investment Opportunities and Cutting SEC Red Tape through the "Increasing Investor Opportunities Act".

The "Increasing Investor Opportunities Act", sponsored by Rep. Ann Wagner (R-MO), is a capital formation package also referred to as the Incentivizing New Ventures and Economic Strength Through Capital Formation (INVEST) Act of 2025. Among its central reforms, the bill amends the Investment Company Act of 1940 to give publicly offered closed-end funds greater authority to invest in private funds and limits the ability of federal regulators and national securities exchanges to restrict the listing and trading of these funds based on those investments. The bill also includes multiple capital markets reforms intended to modernize SEC rules, streamline disclosures, and remove barriers that make it harder for entrepreneurs and small businesses to raise money. According to House Financial Services Committee leaders, the package is designed to cut red tape, empower small businesses, and expand opportunities for Americans to invest more freely.
Support is the Limited Government Position as this measure reduces unnecessary federal regulatory barriers in capital markets and expands voluntary private investment opportunities without creating new taxpayer-funded programs.

Preventing New SEC Disclosure Mandates on Dual Class Share Companies.

The Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) amendment #123 to the "Incentivizing New Ventures and Economic Strength Through Capital Formation (INVEST) Act of 2025" would strike Section 307. This section would require issuers to disclose the share of ownership and voting power held by directors, director nominees, named executive officers, and 5 percent voting power holders. According to supporters of the amendment, these governance structures are already widely discussed by investors and market analysts, and the amendment is intended to help prevent another federal paperwork regime that increases legal costs, invites enforcement risk, and makes it harder for growing companies to access public markets.
Support is the Limited Government Position as this amendment helps combat regulatory overreach and protects companies from unnecessary legal expenses and compliance costs.

Worsening Regulatory Overreach in the Financial Sector by Expanding Mandates on Investment Advisers and Hedge Funds.

The Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) amendment #125 to the "Increasing Investor Opportunities Act" would require investment advisers and hedge funds to conduct know-your-customer verification and implement anti-money laundering procedures for foreign clients. While framed as a transparency and enforcement measure, it would extend a very burdensome new compliance regime into parts of the private investment market that are not currently regulated in this manner. Essentially, much more routine investing activity would now be pushed into a federal monitoring and paperwork structure that is especially costly for smaller firms.
Oppose is the Limited Government Position as this amendment further grows federal regulatory overreach.
These new compliance mandates imposed on private markets increase surveillance-style requirements and impose bureaucratic costs without clear limits.

Imposing New Price Controls and Government Enforcement Powers over Investment Fees in the Financial Sector.

The Rep.

In effect, the measure would grow federal government power into price setting and policing subjective standards for what private-sector financial services may charge, beyond existing disclosure rules.
Oppose is the Limited Government Position as this amendment grows the regulatory power of unaccountable federal bureaucrats and invites de facto price-setting by empowering the SEC to police "proportionality" in private-market fees.

Strengthening Grid Reliability and Reining in Federal Regulatory Overreach through the "Reliable Power Act".

The "Reliable Power Act" sponsored by Rep. Troy Balderson (R-OH) directs the North American Electric Reliability Corporation to conduct annual long-term assessments of reliability in the bulk-power system and establishes a process for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to review certain federal regulations before they are finalized when reliability risks are identified. According to supporters, the measure is largely in response to rules imposed by the Biden Administration that blocked fossil fuel development, which reduced baseload generation and destabilized the electric grid – leading to blackouts and higher power costs.
Support is the Limited Government Position as this measure creates an important check on unelected federal regulators whose rules can effectively force energy policy by driving generation offline and raising costs on families and employers.
Congress should not allow agencies to impose sweeping mandates that jeopardize reliable, affordable power without accountability, transparency, and a clear consideration of real-world reliability impacts.

Protecting Ratepayers and Preventing Blackouts by Requiring State Utility Plans to Prioritize Reliable Power Generation.

H.R. 3628, the "State Planning for Reliability and Affordability Act," sponsored by Rep. Gabe Evans (R-CO), would amend the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) to add a federal standard for how states consider reliability in utility planning. The bill is largely designed to combat the practices of utilities and state regulators prioritizing renewable energy over safety and reliability. Specifically, the bill requires state-regulated electric utilities that use integrated resource planning to ensure adequate reliable availability of electric energy over a 10-year period by maintaining or procuring electricity from "reliable generation facilities." The bill defines reliable generation facilities as those capable of continuous generation for at least 30 days with adequate on-site fuel or contractual fuel supply, able to operate during emergency and severe weather conditions, and able to provide essential grid services such as frequency and voltage support.
Support is the Limited Government Position as this measure pushes state planning back toward basic reliability and affordability rather than politically driven mandates that can raise prices and increase blackout risk.
It helps protect ratepayers and employers from costly energy experiments by requiring planners to account for dependable power over the long term.

Strengthening Electric Grid Resiliency and Driving Greater Transparency Through the "Electric Supply Chain Act".

The "Electric Supply Chain Act," sponsored by Rep. Robert Latta (R-OH), directs the Department of Energy to conduct recurring assessments and submit reports to Congress on the supply chain for electric generation and transmission. Most notably, the bill requires DOE to evaluate trends, risks, and vulnerabilities affecting the availability of key grid components and materials. The measure is intended to help policymakers and the public understand whether the hardware, materials, and manufacturing capacity needed to keep the lights on are actually available before utilities and regulators push large scale changes to the generation mix. This is especially important as utilities and environmental activists accelerate renewable buildouts and electrification mandates that can stress the grid if dependable backup power, transmission upgrades, and critical components are not ready.
Support is the Limited Government Position because Congress has a duty to ensure grid reliability and protect taxpayers and ratepayers by demanding basic accountability and transparency about infrastructure risks.
The measure also helps combat the radical renewable energy agendas of woke utility companies and environmental activists that threaten the American energy supply.

Streamlining Pipeline Permitting by Ending Interagency Gridlock and Preventing States from Vetoing Interstate Energy Projects

The Improving Interagency Coordination for Pipeline Reviews Act, introduced by Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC), would speed up federal permitting for interstate natural gas pipelines and certain LNG projects by making the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) the sole lead agency for coordinating National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) reviews and related federal authorizations. The bill would require participating federal and state agencies to follow FERC's schedule and conduct reviews concurrently, and it directs agencies to consider appropriate environmental data gathered by aerial or other remote means. It would also set limits on how long the process can drag on after the NEPA review is complete and would shift certain Clean Water Act review responsibilities into a coordinated framework rather than allowing separate, open-ended processes to stall projects. According to supporters, these reforms are needed to cut red tape, stop permit gamesmanship, and move critical energy infrastructure forward so families and employers are not hit with higher costs and avoidable reliability risks.
Support is the Limited Government Position because it reins in bureaucratic delays that let agencies and special interests block lawful projects through endless process.
A clearer, faster permitting framework strengthens accountability and protects affordable, reliable energy.

Restoring Limits on Federal Water Regulation and Speeding Permits for Critical Infrastructure through the "PERMIT Act".

The "Promoting Efficient Review for Modern Infrastructure Today (PERMIT) Act" sponsored by Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) makes multiple reforms to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (Clean Water Act). Most notably, the bill narrows the definition of "navigable waters" to exclude certain features such as groundwater, prior converted cropland, and ephemeral features that flow only in direct response to precipitation. The bill also reforms water quality criteria development by requiring new or revised criteria to be issued through rulemaking and makes changes to state permitting processes and related judicial review timelines to provide more certainty for regulated entities. In combination, these reforms are intended to reduce regulatory ambiguity and delays that can hold up permits for construction, energy, agriculture, and other infrastructure projects.
Support is the Limited Government Position as this measure reins in federal overreach under the Clean Water Act and helps prevent agencies from using unclear standards and slow-walking to block lawful economic activity.
Clearer boundaries and more predictable permitting protect property rights and reduce compliance costs that ultimately get passed on to families and consumers.

Under the bill, FEMA must provide ongoing stakeholder outreach, engagement, education, technical assistance, and support related to preparedness grants. The bill's mandates are estimated to require the hiring of seven new federal employees and cost taxpayers an additional $9 million.
Oppose is the Limited Government Position as this bill further grows unnecessary bureaucracy and spending.

Cutting Red Tape for Small Businesses by Codifying the SBA "Red Tape Hotline" and Forcing Transparency on the Worst Federal Rules.

The "Destroying Unnecessary, Misaligned, and Prohibitive (DUMP) Red Tape Act," sponsored by Rep. Tony Wied (R-WI), requires the Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy to continue operating and maintaining a "Red Tape Hotline" for small entities. The hotline is designed to receive notifications from small businesses and other small entities about burdens associated with federal agency rules, guidance, policy statements, or other agency actions. The bill also requires the Office of Advocacy to submit an annual report to the SBA and Congress summarizing the notifications received through the hotline. According to supporters, this measure creates a direct, practical channel for small employers to flag costly and unnecessary regulatory burdens that often get ignored in Washington's one-size-fits-all rulemaking process.
Support is the Limited Government Position as small businesses should not be buried under complex federal regulations with no meaningful accountability for the damage they cause.
Codifying this reporting channel helps expose burdensome rules and strengthens oversight without creating a new spending program or expanding federal power.

The bill also requires HHS to place certain minors in a secure facility when there are gang-related indicators, and it bars HHS from placing a child with a sponsor who is unlawfully present in the United States while requiring expanded household background information to be collected and shared with the Department of Homeland Security.
Support is the Limited Government Position as this reform helps stop the federal government from facilitating dangerous placements that can enable trafficking, gang activity, and criminal harm.

The disclosure includes materials related to Ghislaine Maxwell, flight logs and travel records, and individuals named or referenced, including government officials, in connection with the Epstein case. The bill allows DOJ to withhold information such as victims' personal information and materials that would jeopardize an active federal investigation, and it requires DOJ to report to Congress on what was released, what was withheld, and what redactions were made. According to supporters, the measure is necessary to ensure the federal government does not hide information that could reveal misconduct, favoritism, or politically protected wrongdoing tied to a notorious criminal network.
Support is the Limited Government Position as sunlight and accountability are essential checks on government power, especially when federal law enforcement has withheld information from the public for years.
Requiring disclosure of unclassified records helps deter corruption and strengthens trust in equal justice under the law.

Limiting NEPA Reviews so Federal Agencies Cannot Stall Permits by Analyzing Impacts They Have No Authority to Regulate

The Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) amendment #139 to the SPEED Act would revise the bill's scope-of-review clause to clarify that National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review applies only to environmental impacts that the lead agency or cooperating federal agencies have the legal authority to regulate. In practice, this change would narrow the universe of issues that can be forced into federal environmental reviews, keeping agencies focused on their actual statutory responsibilities. Without clear limits, NEPA can be used to justify endless studies, invite litigation, and delay energy and infrastructure projects even when the alleged "impacts" fall outside an agency's legal lane. According to supporters, this amendment helps stop bureaucratic mission creep and keeps permitting from becoming a backdoor weapon to block projects through paperwork and lawsuits.

The Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) amendment #140 to the SPEED Act would further define what counts as a "significant effect on the quality of the human environment" for purposes of triggering an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The amendment would define a "significant effect" as a proximate and concrete harm directly caused by the proposed agency action that materially impairs human health or property. It would also revise NEPA's EIS trigger so an EIS is required only when there is at least one such "significant effect," rather than the broader and more easily manipulated "significantly affecting" standard. According to supporters, tightening these definitions would reduce litigation gamesmanship and prevent agencies from dragging projects into years of paperwork over speculative or tangential claims.

Restoring Law and Order in Washington, D.C. through Repeal of Lawless "Criminal Justice Reforms" that Limit Usage of Force.

The "Common-Sense Law Enforcement and Accountability Now in DC Act of 2025," also known as the "CLEAN DC Act," sponsored by Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA), repeals the District of Columbia's "Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022." These anti-police policies significantly restricted the ability of police to fight crime by limiting their usage of force and subjecting them to high levels of liability. Due to the criminal justice reforms implemented by DC's government, violent crime in the District rose 39% from 2023 to 2024.
Support is the Limited Government Position as protecting property rights and ensuring public safety through a well-staffed police force serve as essential components of government.

Expanding Affordable Health Coverage Options Beyond Obamacare by Empowering Workers and Small Businesses with More Choice

The Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act, introduced by Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA), would make several changes intended to lower health insurance costs and expand coverage options. The bill would expand access to Association Health Plans, codify and strengthen employer-defined contribution arrangements for workers to buy coverage (called CHOICE arrangements), and clarify that stop-loss insurance is not health insurance coverage so more small and mid-sized employers can self-insure. It also includes new transparency requirements for pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and appropriates cost-sharing reduction payments beginning in 2027 to help stabilize the individual market. According to supporters, these reforms move away from one-size-fits-all Obamacare mandates by expanding private coverage options, reducing hidden costs in the drug supply chain, and lowering premiums for families and employers who have been priced out of affordable plans.
Support is the Limited Government Position because it relies on competition and consumer choice, not new federal mandates, to reduce health costs and expand access to coverage.
It also increases transparency so middlemen and bureaucratic rules cannot quietly drive up prices.

Restoring State Authority Over Gray Wolf Management Through the "Pet and Livestock Protection Act".

The "Pet and Livestock Protection Act of 2025" sponsored by Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) would require the Secretary of the Interior to reissue regulations removing the gray wolf from the list of endangered and threatened wildlife under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Specifically, the bill directs Interior to reissue the final rule published on November 3, 2020 titled "Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Removing the Gray Wolf (Canis lupus) From the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife". While originally enacted in 2020, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California vacated the rule on February 10, 2022. As a result, the gray wolf reattained the protection status it had prior to the rule's promulgation. This bill will ensure that the wolf is finally removed from the list by preventing any additional judicial review.
Support is the Limited Government Position as wildlife management is better handled by states and local communities than by distant federal agencies and courts.
This bill helps restore federalism and accountability by returning decisions about gray wolf management to elected state officials and professional state wildlife agencies, rather than allowing national litigation campaigns to dictate policy. It also provides greater regulatory certainty for ranchers, farmers, and rural communities who often face the costs of federal wildlife policy without meaningful local input.

Advancing a Bill to Overturn President Trump's Executive Order that Protects Taxpayers from Union Bosses and Collective Bargaining.

This resolution, sponsored by Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME), provides for consideration of H.R. 2550 to nullify President Trump's Executive Order titled "Exclusions from Federal Labor-Management Relations Programs". President Trump's order ended collective bargaining at approximately 30 federal agencies that involve the issues of national defense, border security, foreign relations, energy security, pandemic preparedness, cybersecurity, economic defense, and public safety. This bill restores the collective bargaining agreements that were in place as of March 26, 2025.
Oppose is the Limited Government Position as this measure attempts to restore the entrenched interests of union bosses at the expense of taxpayers and effective public administration.
Congress should be reducing bureaucratic obstacles and special-interest leverage inside the federal workforce, not locking agencies into rigid labor rules that unnecessarily hike taxpayer costs and hinder accountability and mission performance.

Reauthorizing a Federal Youth Awards Program Better Left to Private Civic Organizations Through the "Congressional Award Program Reauthorization Act".

The Congressional Award Program Reauthorization Act, introduced by Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), would reauthorize the Congressional Award Act by extending the program's termination date through October 1, 2028. The program is administered through a congressionally established board and recognizes youth who complete goals in areas such as service, personal development, and fitness. Opponents note that while encouraging civic engagement is worthwhile, Congress should not be in the business of running or perpetuating national award programs that private civic, faith-based, and community organizations are fully capable of providing. Reauthorizing this program reinforces the idea that Washington should sponsor and oversee activities that are better led locally and voluntarily.
Oppose is the Limited Government Position because this is not a core federal responsibility and it expands the size and scope of government into an area best handled by private organizations and local communities.
Civic recognition and youth development should come from families, churches, schools, and community groups, not federal programs.

Repealing the Biden-Era National Petroleum Reserve Rule to Restore Energy Development and Protect America's Energy Security.

This resolution, sponsored by Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK), uses the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to nullify a former Biden administration rule implemented at the Bureau of Land Management titled "National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska Integrated Activity Plan Record of Decision," on April 25, 2022. The Biden-era plan replaced the prior Integrated Activity Plan adopted under the first Trump Administration and closed roughly 48% of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska to oil and gas leasing. By disapproving the 2022 rule, Congress would undo those restrictions and revert management back to the 2020 Trump-era plan, thus expanding the domestic energy supply.
Support is the Limited Government Position as the federal government should not use sweeping land-use restrictions to block responsible energy production and choke off private-sector investment.
Reinstating the prior framework helps curb bureaucratic overreach and supports affordable, reliable energy.

Overturning a Biden Bureau of Land Management Plan that Prevents Coal Leasing on 1.7 Million Acres of Federal Land

This resolution introduced by Rep. Troy Downing (R-MT) utilizes the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to nullify a Biden administration rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) relating to the "Miles City Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment." Resource management plans guide how BLM-administered lands are managed, including whether and where coal leasing may be considered. The Miles City plan amendment made 1.7 million acres unavailable for future coal leasing. According to supporters, this kind of federal land "lock up" undermines local economies and energy affordability by putting Washington planners ahead of workers, communities, and responsible development.
Support is the Limited Government Position as Congress must rein in unelected agencies that use sweeping land-use decisions to restrict lawful resource development and centralize control over local economies.
This resolution helps restore accountability and protects access to America's domestic energy resources.

Overturning a Biden Bureau of Land Management Rule that Restricts Oil, Gas, and Coal Development on Federal Lands in North Dakota.

This resolution introduced by Rep. Julie Fedorchak (R-ND) utilizes the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to nullify a Biden administration rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) relating to the "North Dakota Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan." Resource management plans guide how BLM-administered lands are managed, including where energy development is allowed or restricted. Biden's North Dakota plan modified the prior 1988 plan by limiting oil and gas development in certain areas and restricting new coal leasing to areas within four miles of existing mines. According to supporters, the rule represents a federal land-use "lock up" that would limit access to domestic resources, threaten jobs and state revenues, and increase energy costs for families and businesses.
Support is the Limited Government Position as Congress must rein-in unelected bureaucrats who use federal land plans to restrict lawful energy development and centrally plan the economy.
This resolution helps protect energy affordability and strengthens American energy independence.

Overturning a Biden Bureau of Land Management Plan that Blocks Mineral Extraction on Millions of Acres in Alaska's Central Yukon Region.

This resolution introduced by Rep. Nicholas Begich (R-AK) utilizes the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to nullify a Biden administration rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) relating to the "Central Yukon Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan." Resource management plans guide how BLM-administered lands are managed, including where uses such as responsible development, access, and conservation rules will apply. The Central Yukon plan was issued on November 12, 2024, and, among other changes, designates 21 areas as "critical environmental concern" and locks up roughly 3.6 million acres. According to supporters, these designations and related restrictions amount to a federal land "lock up" that can limit multiple-use access, hinder economic opportunity, and place Washington bureaucrats in charge of decisions that should be made closer to the people most affected.
Support is the Limited Government Position as Congress must rein in unelected federal agencies that use sweeping land-use plans to restrict lawful activity and centralize control over local economies.
This resolution helps restore accountability and protects access to America's vast public-land resources.

Denying Congress the Ability to Fulfil its Constitutional Duty of Evaluating the Imposition of a 40% Tariff (Tax) on Imports from Brazil.

This motion tables (defeats) a discharge petition sponsored by Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) that would allow Congress to debate and vote on the imposition of an additional 40% tariff on imports from Brazil. Specifically, the discharge petition would terminate the national emergency declared by President Trump on July 30, 2025, in Executive Order 14323, pursuant to the National Emergencies Act. President Trump's EO imposed an additional 40% tariff on Brazilian goods, which was on top of a 10% tariff the President imposed on Brazilian goods in April of 2025. Notably, on February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Learning Resources v. Trump that these emergency-tariff actions are unconstitutional.
Oppose is the Limited Government Position as the U.
S. Constitution provides Congress – not the Executive Branch – the "power of the purse" to impose taxes and appropriate funds under Article 1, Section 9. Blocking the petition obstructs the ability of duly elected officials to fulfil their constitutional duty to manage the level of taxation (tariffs) being imposed on Americans.

Repealing a Biden Rule at the Department of Energy that Effectively Bans Popular Natural Gas Tankless Water Heaters

This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. Gary Palmer (R-AL), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Biden Department of Energy rule titled "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Consumer Gas-fired Instantaneous Water Heaters" and published on December 26, 2024. The underlying rule set new federal efficiency standards for gas-fired instantaneous (tankless) water heaters, including widely used non-condensing models. According to supporters, the rule was designed in a way that effectively pushes non-condensing units out of the market and forces homeowners and small businesses into more expensive options and complicated retrofits. They argue this is part of a broader regulatory playbook where Washington uses appliance rules to squeeze out natural gas products, shrinking consumer choice while raising costs for everyday replacements and home repairs.
Support is the Limited Government Position as Congress should stop unelected regulators from using appliance standards as a backdoor ban that raises costs and limits consumer choice.
Repealing this rule helps prevent federal bureaucrats from dictating what energy options Americans are allowed to use in their homes and businesses.
Neutral

Blocking Biden's Costly Walk-In Cooler and Freezer Energy Standards Mandate by Overturning a Department of Energy Rule

This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. Stephanie Bice (R-OK), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Biden Department of Energy rule titled "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Walk-In Coolers and Walk-In Freezers" and published on December 23, 2024. The underlying rule establishes new federal energy conservation standards for walk-in coolers and walk-in freezers commonly used by grocery stores, restaurants, warehouses, and other commercial facilities. According to supporters, the repeal of the Biden rule would stop Washington from using one-size-fits-all efficiency mandates to dictate the design and purchase of essential refrigeration equipment. They argue these mandates drive up compliance and replacement costs, squeeze small businesses, and ultimately raise prices for consumers as businesses are forced to absorb yet another layer of federal micromanagement.
Support is the Limited Government Position as Congress should rein in costly, top-down energy mandates imposed by unelected regulators.
Repealing this rule helps protect small businesses and consumers from bureaucratic micromanagement that drives up prices.

Repealing a Biden IRS Rule that Grows Financial Surveillance Through Expanded Crypto "Broker" Reporting

This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. Mike Carey (R-OH), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal an Internal Revenue Service rule titled "Gross Proceeds Reporting by Brokers That Regularly Provide Services Effectuating Digital Asset Sales" and published on December 30, 2024. The underlying rule expands who the IRS treats as a "broker" for digital asset sales and would require covered entities to report gross proceeds and send new tax statements tied to crypto transactions. According to supporters, repealing the Biden rule would stop Washington from rewriting the definition of "broker" to sweep in parts of the digital asset economy that do not operate like traditional brokerages, including technology platforms that cannot realistically collect the personal data the rule demands. They argue the Biden rule is less about honest tax administration and more about building a new reporting regime that turns financial innovation into a compliance trap, pushing lawful activity overseas while increasing the federal government's ability to monitor Americans' economic lives.
Support is the Limited Government Position as Congress should stop the IRS from expanding surveillance-style reporting mandates that go beyond clear statutory authority and punish emerging technologies.
Repealing this rule helps protect financial privacy and innovation from bureaucratic overreach.

Repealing Biden's EPA Methane Fee Rule That Grows Federal Penalties and Drives Up Domestic Energy Costs

This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Biden Environmental Protection Agency rule titled "Waste Emissions Charge for Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems: Procedures for Facilitating Compliance, Including Netting and Exemptions" and published on November 18, 2024. The underlying rule sets the compliance framework for the federal "waste emissions charge," including how covered facilities calculate emissions, use "netting," and qualify for exemptions, with EPA positioned to assess penalties when standards are not met. According to supporters, this rule is the enforcement engine for a Washington created methane tax that punishes American oil and gas production, increases compliance burdens across the supply chain, and ultimately raises energy prices for families and job creators. They argue it hands regulators another tool to pressure domestic producers while making the U.S. less competitive and more dependent on foreign energy.
Support is the Limited Government Position as Congress should stop the federal government from using regulatory schemes and penalty regimes to tax and micromanage domestic energy production.
Repealing this rule helps block bureaucratic enforcement that would raise costs and expand Washington's control over the energy economy.
Neutral

Repealing a Biden Rule at the Department of Energy that Imposed Unnecessary Labeling and Certification Mandates on Consumer Appliances.

This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Biden Department of Energy rule titled "Energy Conservation Program for Appliance Standards: Certification Requirements, Labeling Requirements, and Enforcement Provisions for Certain Consumer Products and Commercial Equipment" and published on October 9, 2024. The underlying rule imposed new federal paperwork, labeling, and reporting requirements and expanded enforcement provisions across a wide range of everyday appliances and equipment. It covered roughly 20 product categories, reaching into items like dishwashers, clothes washers, air conditioners and heat pumps, battery chargers, light bulbs, and other common products used by families and employers. According to supporters, by nullifying the rule, the resolution would stop Washington from turning routine appliances into a compliance headache where manufacturers face more audits, more forms, and more threats of enforcement, and then pass those costs along to everyone at the checkout counter.
Support is the Limited Government Position as Congress should rein-in unelected regulators that keep adding paperwork mandates and enforcement traps that raise prices and restrict consumer choice.
Repealing this rule helps protect businesses from another round of bureaucratic micromanagement.
Neutral

Overturning a Draconian Biden Rule that Banned Off-Road Vehicle Usage on Miles of Trails at Glen Canyon National Park

This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. Mike Kennedy (R-UT), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Biden National Park Service rule titled "Glen Canyon National Recreation Area: Motor Vehicles" and published on January 13, 2025. The underlying rule revised special regulations for Glen Canyon to update and restrict where motor vehicles may be used on roads and off-road on designated routes and areas. According to supporters, the rule empowers federal land managers to tighten access through regulatory changes that can limit recreation, local use, and tourism-dependent communities while expanding Washington's control over how Americans can use public lands. They argue Congress should stop this kind of federal overreach and keep access decisions from being driven by bureaucracy and pressure from activist groups rather than transparent, accountable policymaking.
Support is the Limited Government Position as Congress should rein in agencies that use regulation to micromanage public-land access without accountability.
Repealing this rule helps prevent federal managers from steadily restricting lawful use of public lands through top-down mandates.
Neutral

Repealing a Biden EPA Rule that Imposed Costly New Emissions Mandates on U.S. Tire Manufactures.

This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-VA), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Biden Environmental Protection Agency rule titled "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Rubber Tire Manufacturing" and published on November 29, 2024. The underlying rule imposed new federal emissions standards on parts of the rubber tire manufacturing process and expanded EPA's regulatory reach over domestic tire plants. According to supporters, repealing the Biden rule would stop Washington from piling more red tape and expensive compliance demands onto an industry that supports thousands of American jobs and produces an essential product used by nearly every household and business. They argue the mandate would raise production costs, squeeze smaller facilities the hardest, and push more manufacturing out of the United States.
Support is the Limited Government Position as Congress should block unaccountable bureaucrats from imposing costly mandates that punish domestic manufacturing through backdoor rulemaking.
Repealing this EPA action helps protect jobs, affordability, and U.S. competitiveness by reining in regulatory overreach.
Neutral

Blocking Biden's Costly Commercial Refrigeration Energy Standards Mandate by Overturning a Department of Energy Rule

This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. Craig Goldman (R-TX), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Biden Department of Energy rule titled "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial Refrigerators, Freezers, and Refrigerator-Freezers" and published on January 21, 2025. The underlying rule establishes new federal energy conservation standards for common commercial refrigeration equipment used by grocery stores, restaurants, convenience stores, and other businesses. According to supporters, the repeal of the Biden rule would stop Washington from using one-size-fits-all efficiency mandates to dictate what equipment businesses can buy and how much it must cost to comply. These types of federal standards often function as a hidden tax on everyday commerce by forcing expensive redesigns, accelerating replacement cycles, and raising operating and purchase costs that ultimately get passed on to consumers.
Support is the Limited Government Position as Congress should rein-in costly, top-down energy mandates imposed by unelected regulators.
Repealing this rule helps protect small businesses and consumers from bureaucratic micromanagement that drives up prices.
