After returning from the government shutdown, the House passed a number of pieces of legislation including this year's National Defense Authorization Act, boosting servicemember pay and family benefits, improving maritime infrastructure and strengthening our nation’s counterterrorism tools, borders and defense supply chain.
H.R. 6703 - Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act to lower healthcare premiums for all Americans, expand access for employees of small businesses & force PBMs to be more transparent. It’s a good start as we continue our fight for commonsense, bipartisan reforms to lower health insurance & prescription drug costs.
H.R. 5345 the Improving Social Security’s Service To Victims of Identity Theft Act requires a single, specially trained point of contact to handle each victim’s case from start to finish. H.R. 5348 the Social Security Child Protection Act directs SSA to issue a new SSN to any child under 14 whose card is lost or stolen in the mail. Both bills protect Americans from Social Security fraud & swiftly help those who do become victims.
H.R. 2965 and H.R. 4305 put small businesses first & reduce burdensome and unnecessary regulations that cost more than $3 trillion annually. Both of these bills will ease bureaucratic red tape, providing much needed relief to both businesses & their consumers.
H.R. 4371, the Kayla Hamilton Act, closes a dangerous loophole that allowed illegal immigrant criminals & gangs to enter our country. Only 7 Democrats supported this bill that could have helped prevent tragedies like the murder of Kayla Hamilton.
H.R. 1049 and H.R. 1069 both deter the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and other foreign interference in our classrooms and ensure American values are taught in our schools by empowering parents, requiring transparency and prohibiting federal education funds from going to any school that receives funding from Communist China.
