Expressing Opposition to a Carbon Tax and its Detriment on Families and Businesses.

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Support

This resolution sponsored by Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT) expresses the sense of Congress that a carbon tax is not in the best interest of the country and would be detrimental to families and businesses. The resolution highlighted that the share of energy consumption during 2023 in the United States that was derived from fossil fuels was approximately 80 percent and a carbon tax will increase the cost of every good manufactured in the United States.
Chapter 3 – Build the Greatest Economy in History – Section #4 – Reliable and Abundant Low Cost Energy: Republicans will increase Energy Production across the board, streamline the permitting process, and end market-distorting restrictions on Oil, Natural Gas, and Coal.

Overturning a Biden Administration Rule Making it Cost Prohibitive for Banks to Hold Crypto-Currencies for their Customers.

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Support

This resolution introduced by Rep. Mike Flood (R-NE) utilizes the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to nullify a Biden administration rule issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2022, titled "Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 121". This rule requires financial institutions and firms that are safeguarding their customers' digital assets (such as crypto-currency) to hold the assets on their balance sheet. The rule has received criticism due to the fact the regulations makes it cost prohibitive for banks and other financial institutions to serve as custodians for digital assets.
Chapter 3 – Build the Greatest Economy in History – Section #5 – Champion Innovation – Crypto: Republicans will end Democrats’ unlawful and unAmerican Crypto crackdown and oppose the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency. We will defend the right to mine Bitcoin, and ensure every American has the right to self-custody of their Digital Assets, and transact free from Government Surveillance and Control.

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Support

This resolution introduced by Rep. John James (R-MI) utilizes the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to nullify a Biden administration rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency on April 18, 2024, titled "Multi-Pollutant Emissions Standards for Model Years 2027 and Later Light-Duty and Medium-Duty Vehicles". This rule, which requires roughly 70% of new car and truck sales to be electric in less than 10 years, imposes much stricter emission standards for cars and light-duty trucks.
Chapter 5 – Protect American Workers and Farmers from Unfair Trade – Section #3 – Save the American Auto Industry: Republicans will revive the U.S. Auto Industry by reversing harmful Regulations, canceling Biden’s Electric Vehicle and other Mandates, and preventing the importation of Chinese vehicles.

Protecting Fair Competition in Female Athletics and Safety in Women Locker Rooms and Restrooms by Overturning a Biden Department of Education Rule.

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Support

This resolution introduced by Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) utilizes the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to nullify a Biden administration rule issued by the Department of Education on April 29, 2024, titled "Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex in Education Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance". This Title IX rule adds "gender identity" as a protected class under the anti-sex discrimination law. According to the sponsor, the rule removes female-only spaces such as locker rooms, bathrooms, and other sex-separated areas while also allowing biological males to compete within women's sports and organizations.
Chapter 9 – Government of, By and For the People – Section #5 – Republicans Will End Left-wing Gender Insanity: We will keep men out of women’s sports, ban Taxpayer funding for sex change surgeries, and stop Taxpayer-funded Schools from promoting gender transition, reverse Biden’s radical rewrite of Title IX Education Regulations, and restore protections for women and girls.
“We will cut off all federal funding for programs that promote gender ideology.” – President Donald J. Trump

Utilizing the Congressional Review Act to Overturn Anti-Small Business Regulations Imposed by the Biden Administration Surrounding "Joint Employer Status".

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Support

This resolution introduced by Rep. John James (R-MI) utilizes the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to nullify a Biden administration rule issued by the National Labor Relations Board on October 27, 2023, titled "Standard for Determining Joint Employer Status". The rule largely reestablished the broad Obama-era standard of "joint employment" whereby one company could be held legally liable for another businesses' employees even if they do not directly oversee them. This rule has a large impact on business and labor law, including collective bargaining, pay, scheduling and employer liability for unfair labor practices. In 2020 Trump-appointed NLRB officials had issued a landmark rule requiring “substantial direct and immediate control” to classify a joint employer—reinstating a more business-friendly standard (which the Biden rule reversed).
Chapter 3 – Build the Greatest Economy in History – Section #1 – Cut Regulations: Republicans will slash Regulations that stifle Jobs, Freedom, Innovation and make everything more expensive. We will implement Transparency and Common Sense in rulemaking.
“We’re cutting regulations left and right — for the benefit of American workers and businesses. We want companies to hire, invest, and expand right here, not run away to other countries because of unfair rules.” – President Donald J. Trump

Repealing the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund and other Politicized Environmental Program Harming Economic Growth Through the "Cutting Green Corruption and Taxes Act".

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Support

The "Cutting Green Corruption and Taxes Act" sponsored by Rep. Gary Palmer (R-AL) would rollback climate and environmental justice programs established in the Inflation Reduction Act (IFA) including the repeal of the "Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund". The bill also eliminates an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) program which provides incentives for petroleum and natural gas systems to reduce their emissions of methane and other greenhouse gases, as well as a charge placed on certain facilities for their methane emissions.
Chapter 3 – Build the Greatest Economy in History – Section #4 – Reliable and Abundant Low Cost Energy: Republicans will increase Energy Production across the board, streamline the permitting process, and end market-distorting restrictions on Oil, Natural Gas, and Coal.
“We’re going to try and have a policy where no windmills are being built. They don’t work without subsidy. … You don’t want energy that needs subsidy.” It’s called the Green New Deal -- I call it the Green New Hoax.” – President Donald J. Trump

Preventing Any President from Banning Hydraulic Fracking Through the "Protecting American Energy Production Act".

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Support

The "Protecting American Energy Production Act" sponsored by Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) would prevent any president from banning hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" and expresses that the states themselves should regulate fracking for oil and natural gas production on state and private lands. Hydraulic fracking is a process to extract oil or gas from a geologic formation by injecting water, a propping agent (e.g., sand), and chemical additives into a well under enough pressure to fracture the formation.
Chapter 1 – Defeat Inflation and Quickly Bring Down All Prices – Section #1 – Unleash American Energy: Republicans will unleash Energy Production from all sources, including nuclear, to immediately slash Inflation and power American homes, cars, and factories with reliable, abundant, and affordable Energy.

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Support

This resolution introduced by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) holds U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for defying two congressional subpoenas from the House Committees on Judiciary and Oversight & Accountability. The subpoenas demanded the recordings of President Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Hur, who was investigating the president's handling of classified documents. The measure also fines Garland $10,000 for each day he continues to defy the congressional subpoenas.
Chapter 9 – Government Of, By, and For the People – Section #1 – Republicans Will Stop Woke and Weaponized Government: We will hold accountable those who have misused the power of Government to unjustly prosecute their Political Opponents.

Strengthening National Security and Intellectual Property Rights through the "Protect America's Innovation and Economic Security from CCP Act".

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Support

The "Protect America's Innovation and Economic Security from CCP Act" sponsored by Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) would reestablish the "China Initiative" at the Department of Justice (DOJ), which the Biden administration ended in 2022. Under the bill, the program is renamed the "CCP Initiative" and will (1) counter nation-state threats to the United States; (2) curb spying by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on U.S. intellectual property and academic institutions; (3) identify and prosecute individuals engaged in trade secret theft, hacking, and economic espionage; and (4) protect U.S. critical infrastructure from foreign threats.

Ensuring Americans Maintain Control over Public Health Policy and Not the World Health Organization Through the "No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Approval Act".

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Support

The "No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Approval Act" sponsored by Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI) would require any agreement on pandemic prevention or response reached by the World Health Organization (WHO) to be approved by a two-thirds majority of the U.S. Senate. According to the sponsor, the bill is aimed at protecting American sovereignty against the WHO. Support is Republican Governors Association's position as this measure helps ensure Americans remain in control over the public health policy of our nation and not globalist entities which do not place the interest of Americans first.
Chapter 10 – Return to Peace through Strength – Section #1 – The National Interest: Republicans will promote a Foreign Policy centered on the most essential American Interests, starting with protecting the American Homeland, our People, our Borders, our Great American Flag, and our Rights under God.

Advancing American Energy Dominance by Requiring the Department of Interior to Hold More Frequent Lease Sales and Speed up the Permitting Process through the "CLEAN Act".

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Support

The "Committing Leases for Energy Access Now (CLEAN) Act" sponsored by Rep. Russ Fulcher (R-ID) would require the Department of Interior (DOI) to hold lease sales every year, rather than every two years. Additionally, the bill helps speed up the permit process for lease sales by setting a 30-day deadline for the DOI to notify an applicant if a permit has been approved. According to the sponsor, the bill "will hold the Department of Interior accountable and is key to bolstering domestic energy production, reducing our reliance on foreign adversaries and meeting America's growing energy demands."

Obstructing American Energy Production through Significant Additional Delays and Requirements for Geothermal Permits by Amending the "CLEAN Act".

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Oppose

The Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) amendment #1 to the "Committing Leases for Energy Access Now (CLEAN) Act" would enact significant delays in the permitting process for geothermal drilling. Under the bill, the timeline for an agency to respond to a project applicant on whether their geothermal drilling permit application is complete or deficient would triple. Additionally, the amendment would make the overall permitting process for geothermal resources more than 9 times longer than it would take for oil and gas, in part due to new review requirements connected to National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Finally, the amendment would provide new authority for the Bureau of Land Management to deny geothermal permits in the final stages of the permitting process.

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Support

This resolution, sponsored by Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) condemns President Joseph Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and 13 other individuals for their role in the Afghanistan withdrawal and noncombatant evacuation operation. Tragically, 13 service members lost their lives and over $7 billion in U.S. military equipment was transferred to the Taliban and other terrorist groups.

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Support

The "DHS Restrictions on Confucius Institutes and Chinese Entities of Concern Act" sponsored by Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX) would prevent funding from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from being provided to any college or university that has a relationship with a Confucius Institute (a cultural institute directly or indirectly funded by the Chinese government). According to the sponsor, "the Chinese Community Party is utilizing Confucius Institutes to infiltrate American university campuses and engage in espionage, steal intellectual property, intimidate Chinese dissidents, promote communist propaganda, and funnel sensitive information back to the People's Liberation Army". Support is Republican Governors Association's position as taxpayers should not be forced to pay for the educations of individuals who chose to enroll in colleges and universities, especially entities which partner with one of America's top adversaries, the CCP.
Chapter 5 – Protect American Workers and Farmers from Unfair Trade – Section #2 – Secure Strategic Independence from China: Republicans will revoke China’s Most Favored Nation status, phase out imports of essential goods, and stop China from buying American Real Estate and Industries.

Fueling Wasteful Spending and Enriching Woke Companies Through the "Eliminating Barriers to Rural Internet Development Grant Eligibility (E-Bridge) Act".

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Oppose

The "Eliminating Barriers to Rural Internet Development Grant Eligibility (E-Bridge) Act" sponsored by Rep. Sam Graves (R-MO) would increase federal spending on broadband projects, particularly last-mile projects, which connect to homes and other buildings in "distressed communities". Specifically, the bill would make it easier to receive broadband grants from the Economic Development Administration (EDA) by allowing grant recipients to use in-kind donations, such as real property, to meet the cost sharing requirements. Such grants primarily enrich woke companies such as Comcast and provide them competitive advantages over satelite-based providers such as Elon Musk's Starlink internet. On January 20, 2025 President Trump signed an Executive Order that halted the dispursement of the $42.45 billion in funds for the BEAD (Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment) program.

The "Setting Consumer Standards for Lithium-Ion Batteries Act" sponsored by Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to impose new mandates on micromobility devices (such as electric bicycles and scooters) relating to lithium-ion batteries and fire risk. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the bill is expected to increase taxpayer cost by $6 million to hire additional government employees to carry out these duties over the next five years. On April 30, 2025 the CPSC voted to impose the mandates on a 3-2 party-line vote (3 Democrats supported, 2 Republicans opposed). The following month, the Trump administration removed the 3 Democrat members on the CPSC and subsequently repealed the mandates.

This bill, sponsored by Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX) prohibits individuals who are not citizens of the United States from voting in elections in the District of Columbia and repeals the "Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022". While federal law prohibits noncitizens from voting in a federal election, DC enacted a law that allows illegal immigrants to vote in local elections. This bill repeals the DC law, which went into effect on February 23, 2023.

Growing the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to Award Grants to Government-Favored Non-Profits Under the "Sea Turtle Rescue Assistance and Rehabilitation Act".

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Oppose

The "Sea Turtle Rescue Assistance and Rehabilitation Act of 2023" sponsored by Rep. Bill Keating (D- MA) would grow the size and scope of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) through the creation of a new "Sea Turtle Rescue Assistance and Rehabilitation Grant Program". In 2023, NOAA allocated about $1 million for sea turtle stranding response and rehabilitation activities. Under this bill, NOAA would hire additional employees and spend an estimated $33 million to provide grants to various non-profits which assist sea turtles. President Trump's FY?2026 budget proposed a 26% reduction to NOAA’s budget - including elimination of the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), which handles wildlife conservation grants.

The "Uyghur Policy Act of 2023" sponsored by Rep. Young Kim (R-CA) would create a "Special Coordinator for Uyghur Issues" position within the Department of State which advocates for the human rights of minority groups residing primarily in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) in China. The bill is estimated to cost $6 million over the next five years to implement and makes federal funds available to human rights advocates and to "facilitate the presence of such human rights advocates at public diplomacy forums". In March of 2025, the Trump Administration cancelled countless grants pertaining to Uyghur, as well as Radio Free Asia.

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Support

The "Expanding Access to Capital Act of 2023" sponsored by Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) is a package of bills which would reduce various financial securities regulations. Under the bill, a number of reporting and registration requirements for companies, brokers, and advisors would be decreased, plus provides an exemption for companies that sell less than $250,000 in securities in a year from having to register the transactions with the SEC.

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Oppose

The Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) amendment #7 to the "Expanding Access to Capital Act of 2023" would require the exemptions or benefits provided by the bill only apply to companies that do not impose "junk fees" on customers. However, the amendment, nor the SEC provide any definition of "junk fees". According to the sponsor, "If you want your child to sit next to you on the airplane, expect a fee. If you cancel your cable early, expect a fee. If you pay your credit card late, in Michigan, average credit card late fees from big banks are more than $20. Sadly, even the medical industry imposes hidden costs and surprise bills. Collectively, these junk fees cost our residents billions of dollars each year."

According to the sponsor, the measure "provides needed transparency into the opaque world of private equity and venture capital funds" considering "Black-founded companies receive less than 1 percent of venture capital funding annually, while women-founded businesses receive just about 2 percent".

Encouraging the European Union to Designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a Terrorist Organization and Impose Sanctions.

With GOP

GOP Platform Position: Support

This resolution sponsored by Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) urges the European Union (EU) to expeditiously designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization under the EU Common Position 931 on terrorism (a sanction regime). It also encourages the Biden Administration to make the EU designation of the IRGC as a terrorist organization a diplomatic priority in engagements with the EU. According to the sponsor, "the world must signal to the Islamic Republic of Iran that they will face severe consequences for their widespread acts of terrorism". In 2019 President Trump designated the IRGC as a foreign terrorist organization to help weaken the power of Iran, a country known to harbor terrorists.

Protecting American Mineral Extraction and Cutting Red Tape Through the "Mining Regulatory Clarity Act of 2024".

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Support

The "Mining Regulatory Clarity Act of 2024" sponsored by Mark Amodei (R-NV) would help protect mineral production in the U.S. by addressing the Rosemont judicial decision.

The "North Korean Human Rights Reauthorization Act of 2023" sponsored by Rep. Young Kim (R-CA) would reauthorize through FY2028 various activities to promote human rights in North Korea at an estimated cost of $41 million. This includes funding select non-profit organizations to "promote human rights, democracy, rule of law, and the development of a market economy in North Korea". This bill advances an "America last" agenda which places initiatives in foreign nations above the needs of Americans, all while forcing taxpayers to enrich government-favored non-profits.

Growing Government Bureaucracy through the "DHS Cybersecurity On-the-Job Training Program Act".

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Oppose

The "DHS Cybersecurity On-the-Job Training Program Act" sponsored by Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee (D-TX) would impose new mandates within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) which require employees holding non-cybersecurity positions within the department, to be trained in matters relating to cybersecurity. The bill requires the program curriculum to be consistent with the "National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education Framework" and is expected to cost $1 million annually to implement (not including lost employee time). There are already countless existing initiatives surrounding cybersecurity across the federal government. President Trump's proposed FY 2026 budget included significant cuts to bloated cybersecurity-related bureaucracy, including a cut of nearly 20% to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the elimination of hundreds of positions.

This bill failed to receive the 2/3rd vote necessary to pass.
Chapter 2 – Seal the Border, and Stop the Migrant Invasion – Section #5 – Defend America's Borders: Against all odds, President Trump has completed Hundreds of Miles of Wall, and he will quickly finish the job.

Additionally, an accrediting organization must confirm that its standards do not prohibit an institution of higher education from having a religious mission. According to the sponsor, the bill will "stand up for academic freedom, defend students' constitutional rights, and ensure that colleges and universities aren't forced to bend the knee to activist accreditors pushing political agendas as a condition for federal funding". On January 21, 2025, President Trump signed an Executive Order requiring federally funded colleges and universities to end all race and gender-based initiatives.

Elise Stefanik (R-NY) directs the National Park Service to assess the suitability and feasibility of adding the rest of Saratoga County and Washington County in New York to the "Maurice D. Hinchey Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area" in New York. Areas which receive designation as National Heritage Areas receive additional federal funding. President Trump's FY 2026 budget slashed all funding for National Heritage Areas, cut the National Park Service operations budget by roughly $1 billion and suggested the transfer of some national park locations to state management.

Fueling Out-of-Control Spending and Growing the Regulatory Power of Federal Bureaucrats Through the "National Construction Safety Team Enhancement Act".

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Oppose

The "National Construction Safety Team Enhancement Act of 2024" sponsored by Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) would expand the size and regulatory authority of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and increase agency spending by $5 million annually. Currently, the NIST is authorized to investigate the structural failure of a building that has resulted in substantial loss of life or that had the significant potential to cause a substantial loss of life. Under the bill, NIST's authority is expanded to now also investigate structural failures other than those involving buildings and to recommend related improvements to engineering standards and practices. President Trump's FY 2026 budget proposed a $325 million cut to NIST and hundreds of positions within the agency - including physical infrastructure - to eliminate waste.

Fueling Out-of-Control Government Growth and Spending Through the Reauthorization of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Oppose

The "National Telecommunications and Information Administration Reauthorization (NTIA) Act of 2023", sponsored by Bob Latta (R-OH) would be the first reauthorization of the NTIA since 1992, and significantly expand the size and scope of the agency. The 108-page package also codifies the "Digital Equity Act" and provisions from multiple other bills including the "Plan for Broadband Act" and "Open RAN Outreach Act". The NTIA is currently administering the $42.45 billion "Broadband Equity Access and Deployment Program" which expands high-speed internet access in unserved and underserved areas.

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Oppose

The "Privacy Enhancing Technology Research Act" sponsored by Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) would grow the size and scope of the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support research, workforce development, standard setting, and government coordination for "privacy enhancing technologies". According to the sponsor, "the rise of AI exposes individuals to new privacy threats" and this bill "supports privacy-enhanced datasets and tools for training AI systems".

Establishing a New Regulatory Framework which Protects the Crypto Industry from Draconian Regulations by the SEC that Hinder Innovation.

With GOP

GOP Platform Position: Support

The "Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21)" sponsored by Rep. Glenn Thompson (R-PA) largely prevents the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) from imposing overreaching regulations in the digital asset market (including crypto-currency) by providing greater regulatory clarity. Under the bill, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is provided with new jurisdiction over digital commodities and the bill also establishes a process to permit the secondary market trading of digital commodities if they were initially offered as part of an investment contract.
Chapter 3 – Build the Greatest Economy in History – Section #5 – Champion Innovation – Crypto: Republicans will end Democrats’ unlawful and unAmerican Crypto crackdown and oppose the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency.

Imposing Greater Regulatory Burdens on the Crypto Industry by Reducing the Crowdfunding Exemption within the "Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act".

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Oppose

The Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX) amendment #1 to the "Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21)" would weaken the underlying bill relating to digital asset (crypto) regulations by reducing the crowdfunding exemption from $75 million to $5 million. As a result, investors could only crowdfund up to $5 million for crypto before being forced to register and meet a series of additional regulations. According to the sponsor, the reduced cap represents the exemption level that is applied to other traditional investments.
Chapter 3 – Build the Greatest Economy in History – Section #5 – Champion Innovation – Crypto: Republicans will end Democrats’ unlawful and unAmerican Crypto crackdown and oppose the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency.

Combatting Regulatory Overreach by Providing Greater Clarity on the Role of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Support

The Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) amendment #4 to the "Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21)" clarifies that while the underlying bill may provide the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) with the authority to regulate digital asset spot markets, nothing in the bill should be construed as providing the CFTC power beyond digital assets. According to the sponsor, "this amendment simply aims to combat mission creep". Support is Republican Governors Association's position as this measure provides greater clarity to the underlying bill to prevent "mission creep" and additional overreaching actions by the CFTC.
Chapter 3 – Build the Greatest Economy in History – Section #5 – Champion Innovation – Crypto: Republicans will end Democrats’ unlawful and unAmerican Crypto crackdown and oppose the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency.

Combatting Politicized ESG Rules within the SEC through the "Prioritizing Economic Growth Over Woke Policies Act".

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Support

The "Prioritizing Economic Growth Over Woke Policies Act" sponsored by Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-MI) is said to address the threats environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives pose to the American financial system. Most notably, the bill makes changes to SEC disclosure regulations to ensure companies are only required to disclose material information (not ESG) and requires the SEC to publicly list and explain any non-material disclosure demands. According to the sponsor, "rogue Democrat-appointed regulators are forcing companies to waste their limited time and resources on ESG mandates that have little to do with a firm's financial performance".
Chapter 9 – Government Of, By, and For the People – Section #1 – Republicans Will Stop Woke and Weaponized Government: We will hold accountable those who have misused the power of Government to unjustly prosecute their Political Opponents.

Forcing Taxpayers to Spend an Additional $31 Million at the Department of Energy to Advance a Politicized Environmental Agenda Through the "Carbon Sequestration Collaboration Act".

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Oppose

The "Carbon Sequestration Collaboration Act" sponsored by Rep. Jim Baird (R-IN) would grow the Department of Energy (DOE) to increase research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) on carbon dioxide sequestration. Emphasis would be placed on "terrestrial carbon sequestration" (i.e., the storage of carbon in plants and biomass)and carbon sequestration in geologic formations (e.g., carbon sequestration in basins or aquifers). The bill is expected to increase DOE spending by $32 million. In May of 2025, President Trump cancelled $3.7?billion in DOE industrial decarbonization and carbon capture grants.
Chapter 1 – Defeat Inflation and Quickly Bring Down All Prices – Section #2 – Rein in Wasteful Federal Spending: Republicans will immediately stabilize the Economy by slashing wasteful Government spending and promoting Economic Growth.

Hiking Spending within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to Promote Politicized Research on the "Impact of Climate Change on Fire Weather Environments".

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Oppose

The "Fire Weather Development Act of 2024" sponsored by Rep. Mike Garcia (R-CA) would expand the size and scope of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to engage in greater levels of wildfire prediction and management. According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the NOAA already spends approximately $8 million annually on forecasting fire weather events. This bill would boost spending to $32 million annually for additional initiatives such as development of improved communication systems and for research to "better understand the impact of climate change on fire weather environments". Research conducted by the ILA's Center to Protect Ranchers found that 75% of the worst wildfires are sparked by public utility companies that are controlled by DEI and ESG frameworks, such as Xcel Energy and Edison International. President Trump's FY 2026 budget slashed NOAA spending by over $2.2 billion - particularly for climate related projects.

GOP Platform Position: Oppose

The "Abandoned Well Remediation Research and Development Act" sponsored by Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) would expand the size and role of the Department of Energy (DOE) to create a research, development, and demonstration program concerning abandoned oil and gas wells. According to the sponsor, "methane emissions from oil and gas wells - some of which date back as early as the 1850s including orphan wells, remains a significant driver of short-term climate change". In January of 2025, President Trump issued an executive order titled "Unleashing American Energy" and instructed federal agencies to pause $4.7?billion in spending on orphaned-well plugging.
