Senate Bills

It also offers temporary tax credits to small businesses in rural counties facing documented spikes in energy, freight, or raw material costs, with anti-abuse safeguards.

The bill is a broad immigration reform framework that emphasizes clear standards, transparent reporting, and accountable implementation, but it provides no specific policy changes in the text provided. Voters are likely to judge it more on trust and assumptions than on concrete details.

This bill aims to lower energy costs by expanding tax incentives for domestic coal and natural gas, speeding up permits for related projects, and funding grid and rail upgrades that reduce fuel delivery costs. In exchange, producers must keep supplies domestic and, where practical, pass savings on to utilities, manufacturers, and consumers.

This bill would require employers nationwide to use E-Verify for new hires on a phased timeline, raise penalties for knowingly employing unauthorized workers, and boost funding for worksite enforcement and compliance help.

This bill creates temporary, targeted federal tax incentives to boost domestic production of essential goods and industrial inputs like medicines, steel, semiconductors, fertilizer, and energy components. It emphasizes American hiring, U.S. sourcing, and reporting on consumer prices, supply growth, and jobs while claiming to avoid unnecessary new bureaucracy.

This bill would toughen penalties for repeat illegal reentry, add resources for detention and faster immigration court processing, and encourage voluntary cooperation between federal, state, and local law enforcement on immigration enforcement. It also requires annual reports on enforcement results, labor-market impacts, and civil-rights compliance.

This bill boosts DHS funding for targeted border surveillance, anti-trafficking operations, and more immigration enforcement staff, while expanding federal cooperation with state and local police on serious crime and trafficking cases. It also funds state task forces against cartels and human smuggling and requires quarterly public reporting on results and spending.

This bill expands federal civil rights enforcement by giving the DOJ Civil Rights Division more resources, funding state and local anti-discrimination agencies, and explicitly barring discrimination based on traits including lawful sexual orientation and gender identity in covered employment, housing, and public accommodations. It also pushes faster complaint handling and more public reporting while keeping existing due process and religious liberty protections in place.

This bill increases hiring for Border Patrol, CBP, and immigration enforcement, expands surveillance and screening at busy border areas and ports of entry, improves agency coordination on visa overstays, and requires regular reporting to Congress. It frames these steps as national security and rule-of-law measures with an emphasis on enforcement and accountability.

This bill would phase in mandatory E-Verify for new hires nationwide, boost penalties on employers who knowingly hire unauthorized workers, and expand funding for audits and anti-fraud enforcement.
