Title Description Club Position Rep. Position
HR4776
SPEED Act - Standardizing Permitting and Expediting Economic Development Act: The SPEED Act shortens permitting timelines and reduces delays for infrastructure, manufacturing, and energy projects. Lengthy federal permitting reviews increase project costs, discourage investment, and slow economic growth and domestic energy development.
 Y Y
HR3383
INVEST Act: The INVEST Act expands access to capital for entrepreneurs, small businesses, and emerging growth companies by reducing unnecessary barriers in private markets. By making it easier for businesses to raise funds, attract investment, and scale, the bill strengthens capital formation and supports innovation, job creation, and long-term economic growth. Congress should make it easier, not harder, for private companies and investors to deploy capital in the American economy.
 Y Y
HR4305
DUMP Red Tape Act: The DUMP Red Tape Act gives small businesses a direct way to identify unnecessary, misaligned, and costly federal regulations through the Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy. By creating a formal reporting mechanism for regulatory burdens, the bill helps Congress and federal agencies better understand how red tape affects entrepreneurs, job creators, and local businesses. Reducing unnecessary compliance costs allows small businesses to spend less time navigating bureaucracy and more time investing, hiring, and growing.
 Y Y
HR4553
Schweikert Amendment to Rescind Unobligated Federal Funds: This amendment rescinds unobligated federal funds, returning unused appropriations to taxpayers instead of leaving them available for future government expansion. Reclaiming dormant spending authority is a practical step toward reducing deficits and enforcing fiscal discipline.
 Y Y
HR4553
Perry Amendment on the Delaware River Basin Commission: Representative Scott Perry's amendment restricts funding for policies that limit natural gas development in the Delaware River Basin region. Federal and interstate regulators should not block domestic energy production that lowers energy prices, creates jobs, and strengthens American energy independence.
 Y Y
HR4016
Greene Amendment to Cut Overseas Humanitarian and Disaster Relief Aid: Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's amendment reduces overseas humanitarian and disaster assistance funding, decreasing nonessential federal spending and limiting foreign aid commitments. Congress should focus on reducing deficits and prioritizing domestic fiscal stability instead of expanding international aid expenditures financed through additional borrowing.
 Y Y
SB1582
GENIUS Act - Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins: The GENIUS Act creates a stablecoin framework that encourages private-sector financial innovation while limiting arbitrary regulatory intervention. Competitive digital payment systems strengthen financial markets, expand consumer choice, and preserve American leadership in emerging financial technologies.
 Y Y
HR1919
Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act: The Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act prohibits the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency directly to individuals. A federally controlled digital currency would create significant risks to financial privacy, expand government surveillance capabilities, and centralize federal control over private economic activity.
 Y Y
HR3633
CLARITY Act - Digital Asset Market Clarity Act: The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act establishes clearer jurisdictional boundaries for digital assets and reduces uncertainty created by overlapping federal regulation. Entrepreneurs and investors are more likely to innovate and deploy capital in the United States when Congress provides transparent and predictable rules instead of regulation through enforcement actions.
 Y Y
HR1
One Big Beautiful Bill Act: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act permanently extends the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions, restores 100 percent immediate expensing, and rolls back Inflation Reduction Act energy subsidies. Lower marginal tax rates and full expensing increase capital investment, productivity, wage growth, and long-run economic expansion.
 Y Y
HR4
Rescissions Act of 2025: The Rescissions Act of 2025 cancels billions in previously appropriated spending for foreign aid and public broadcasting that taxpayers should not be forced to fund. Congress should reclaim unnecessary spending authority instead of allowing federal agencies to spend money simply because it was already appropriated. Rescinding these funds is a practical step toward reducing waste, restoring fiscal discipline, and limiting taxpayer support for programs that do not serve core national priorities.
Y Y
SJR31
S.J.Res.31 - Disapproving EPA Rule Under the Clean Air Act: This resolution overturns an EPA Clean Air Act rule that restricted regulatory relief for facilities that reduce hazardous air pollutant emissions below major-source thresholds. Businesses that lower emissions should be able to reclassify as area sources and avoid unnecessary major-source compliance burdens. Reversing the rule restores regulatory flexibility, lowers costs for manufacturers and energy producers, and encourages emissions reductions without expanding federal control.
 Y Y
SJR18
Disapproving CFPB Overdraft Lending Rule: This resolution overturns the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau overdraft lending rule because the regulation effectively imposes federal price controls on overdraft services offered by banks and credit unions. Restricting overdraft products reduces consumer access to short-term liquidity options and increases compliance costs that are ultimately passed on to consumers.
 Y Y
SJR28
Disapproving CFPB Rule: This joint resolution disapproves the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rule because the regulation expands CFPB authority over consumer financial markets and imposes costly compliance mandates on financial institutions. Excessive CFPB regulation restricts competition, limits access to financial services, and increases costs that are ultimately passed on to consumers.
 Y Y
HJR25
Disapproving IRS Rule on Gross Proceeds Reporting for Digital Assets: This resolution overturns the Internal Revenue Service rule on gross proceeds reporting for digital asset brokers because the regulation imposes expansive reporting requirements on decentralized finance and cryptocurrency transactions. The rule increases compliance burdens, discourages innovation in blockchain technology, and pushes investment activity outside the United States.
 Y Y
HR1968
Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025: This measure maintains government funding levels without adopting a larger omnibus spending package. Avoiding a shutdown while preserving leverage for future spending cuts is preferable to passing broader bipartisan spending agreements that permanently increase federal expenditures.
 Y Y
HJR42
Disapproving DOE Appliance Efficiency Standards: This joint resolution overturns Department of Energy appliance efficiency standards because the regulations impose one-size-fits-all federal mandates that increase manufacturing and consumer costs. Market competition and consumer demand are more effective than federal regulation at encouraging innovation and efficiency improvements.
 Y Y
HJR20
Disapproving DOE Energy Conservation Standards for Water Heaters: This resolution disapproves the Department of Energy's energy conservation standards for water heaters because the rule effectively phases out affordable natural gas appliances and increases costs for households. Consumers should retain the freedom to choose appliances based on price and performance rather than federal efficiency mandates.
Y Y
HCR14
H. Con. Res. 14 - Establishing the Congressional Budget for Fiscal Year 2025: This budget resolution includes spending restraint targets and reconciliation instructions to reduce deficits. Congress must use the budget process to curb mandatory spending growth and prevent further deterioration of the federal fiscal out.
