This bill would create new ways to find and stop "chameleon carriers." These are unsafe trucking companies that try to hide their bad safety records by changing their names. It would lead to a study on these carriers and develop a new computer tool to spot them when they apply for permits, making roads safer for everyone.

This bill would set clear rules for companies wanting to explore for minerals on public lands. It would require them to give 15 days' notice to the government for projects disturbing up to 25 acres. Government agencies would then have 15 days to review the notice and allow the work to proceed or ask for more information.

This bill would end tax-exempt status for organizations that provide or fund abortions. This means these groups would have to pay taxes, and donations to them would no longer be tax-deductible. Exceptions would be made for abortions needed to save the mother's life or in cases of rape or incest.

This bill would let parents and certain students directly sue schools in federal court if their rights under federal education privacy laws are violated. Currently, people must go through the Department of Education's administrative process to address these issues. This change would allow them to seek court orders, declarations, or have their legal fees covered without first going through the government's complaint system.

Currently, drivers under 21 cannot operate commercial trucks across state lines. This bill would let eligible drivers aged 18 to 20, who already have an intrastate commercial license, drive trucks up to 150 air miles into another state. They would need to follow strict rules about their work hours and return to their home state each day.

This bill would make sure ranchers who graze their livestock on national grasslands are treated the same as those on other federal lands. It would update an existing law to clearly include national grasslands, giving these ranchers the same rules and protections as ranchers on other federal grazing areas.

This bill would let many more federally recognized Native American tribes lease their trust lands for up to 99 years. Currently, only a few specific tribes have this long-term leasing power. This change would give over 574 tribes more flexibility in how they use their land.

This bill aims to make it harder to produce illegal pills by requiring manufacturers and sellers of pill-making machines to put serial numbers on them. These numbers would need to be reported to the Attorney General. It would also be illegal to remove or alter these serial numbers, or to deal in machines where the numbers have been tampered with.

This bill would make sure stores clearly label where beef and ground beef come from. It would also set much higher fines for stores that don't follow these labeling rules. This means shoppers would know more about the meat they buy.

This bill would stop a specific land management plan from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for the Buffalo Field Office. This plan was issued in November 2024. If this bill passes, the plan would not take effect, meaning the land would continue to be managed under previous rules.
