Today, government agencies can conduct certain surveillance activities on United States persons under specific intelligence laws, and the information gathered can be used in legal cases. This bill would stop agencies from requesting or ordering various types of surveillance on Americans under these laws. It would also prevent using information collected this way against Americans in criminal, civil, or administrative cases.

This bill would let people sue vaccine makers and those who give them directly in court for vaccine injuries or death. It ends current legal protections for these groups. It also specifically removes liability shields for COVID-19 vaccine makers and administrators. People could not get compensation from both a lawsuit and a government program for the same injury.

This bill would stop federal antitrust laws from applying to voluntary economic agreements made by individuals or groups of individuals. This means people could make certain economic deals without worrying about those specific government rules. It aims to give individuals more freedom in how they cooperate financially.

This bill would stop the U.S. government from selling specific military equipment and services to Taiwan. If passed, it would prevent several proposed sales of items like rocket systems, howitzers, and missiles. This would mean Taiwan would not receive these defense articles from the U.S.

This bill would create a new type of temporary visa specifically for close relatives of U.S. citizens and green card holders to visit for family reasons. Family members could visit for up to 90 days a year. They would need financial support and medical insurance, and could not stay permanently. This offers a clearer path for temporary family visits than current options.

This bill would stop 'no-knock' warrants, where police enter homes without warning. Federal police officers would always have to announce who they are and why they are there before entering. State and local police agencies would also need to follow this rule if they get money from the Department of Justice.
