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

With 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.

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.

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.

On January 23, 2025, President Trump signed a memorandum directing the Secretary of the Interior to produce a plan within 90 days to help the Lumbee Tribe obtain full federal recognition.
Chapter 9 – Government of, By and For the People – Section #7 – Republicans Will Protect Americans in the Territories: The territories of Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico are of vital importance to our National Security, and we welcome their greater participation in all aspects of the political process.

With GOP

GOP Platform Position: Support

The "Midnight Rules Relief Act" sponsored by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) allows Congress to disapprove multiple regulations under one joint resolution of disapproval if the regulations were submitted for review during the last 60 legislative days of the final year of a President's term. Currently, each joint resolution may disapprove of only one regulation. According to the sponsor, the bill "allows Congress to rein in unelected bureaucrats. Biden's bureaucrats imposed more than $1.34 trillion in regulations in 2024 alone."
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.

With 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.

With 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.
"So we paid $500 million to World Health when I was here and I terminated it… They offered me to come back for $39 million… I refused them… Pretty sad though. Think of it. China pays $39 million and we pay $500 million… Think of it." – President Donald J. Trump

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".

With 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".

With 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.

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.

With 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.

Against GOP

GOP Platform Position: Oppose

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.

With GOP

GOP Platform Position: Support

The "End Woke Higher Education Act" sponsored by Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT) bars accrediting organizations from requiring colleges and universities to adopt diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies as a condition of accreditation. 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.

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

With 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".

According to the sponsor, "American families should have this information in order to buy products that support Israel's economy - particularly in a time of war. Conversely, people should know if an item comes from a region controlled by terrorists that kidnapped and killed their fellow Americans."

Nick LaLota (R-NY) appropriates $65 million annually through 2028 for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to carry out programs to restore and protect the environmental health of the Long Island Sound located south of Connecticut and north of Long Island. In 1985, Congress created the Long Island Sound Study (LISS) to identify and address the major environmental problems affecting the Long Island Sound and last reauthorized the program for five years in 2018. President Trump's FY?2018 budget blueprint targeted the EPA’s geographic restoration programs - including the Long Island Sound Initiative - for elimination, proposing to cut their funding entirely.

Nick LaLota (R-NY) would deny state and local entities with federal funding intended for non-U.S. nationals if they enact sanctuary policies or fail to cooperate with federal immigration detainers. According to the sponsor, the bill "ensures that federal dollars will not be used to offset costs incurred by prioritizing illegal immigration, and migrants' free hotels and health care, over the safety and well-being of law-abiding tax-paying citizens".
Chapter 2 – Seal the Border, and Stop the Migrant Invasion – Section #5 – Stop Sanctuary Cities: Republicans will cut federal Funding to sanctuary jurisdictions that release dangerous Illegal Alien criminals onto our streets, rather than handing them over to ICE.

Subjecting Small Businesses to Draconian Regulations by Removing a Critical Check on the Regulatory Power of Unaccountable Bureaucrats by Amending the "Prove It Act".

With GOP

GOP Platform Position: Oppose

The Rep. Nydia Velázquez (D-NY) amendment #1 to the "Prove It Act of 2024" would significantly weaken the underlying bill (which requires government agencies to assess and limit the direct and indirect costs of their rules and regulations).

We will stand with Israel, and seek peace in the Middle East. We will rebuild our Alliance Network in the Region to ensure a future of Peace, Stability, and Prosperity.

Combatting Lawless Criminal Justice Reforms and Bail Policies through the "Keeping Violent Offenders Off Our Streets Act".

With GOP

GOP Platform Position: Support

The "Keeping Violent Offenders Off Our Streets Act" sponsored by Rep. Scott Fitzgerald (R-WI) would combat radical bail policies by ensuring judges and prosecutors know a defendant's criminal history, while also bring accountability to the bail system. Specifically, the bill would allow state and local jurisdictions to use Byrne grant funding to develop and maintain a public safety report for each defendant charged with a violent offense and report this information to the National Crime Information Center (NCIC). The legislation would also define bail bonds as an "insurance product" to require compliance with federal insurance fraud laws and background check requirements - thus preventing "bail crowdsourcing".
Chapter 8 – Bring Common Sense to Government and Renew the Pillars of American Civilization – Section #2 – Rebuild Our Cities and Restore Law and Order: Republicans will restore safety in our neighborhoods by replenishing Police Departments, restoring Common Sense Policing, and protecting Officers from frivolous lawsuits.

GOP Platform Position: Support

The "Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act" sponsored by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) would impose sanctions on International Criminal Court (ICC) officials who seek to go after U.S. citizens or allies, including Israel. According to the sponsor, "the ICC is an illegitimate body that has no business interfering with our sovereignty or that of our allies" and "the Trump administration was right to impose sanctions on the associates of the ICC" The sponsor noted that following Biden's decision to reverse the Trump policy, the ICC is now "engaged in a shameful lawfare campaign against Prime Minister Netanyahu for doing his duty to protect his fellow citizens from Hamas in the wake of the barbaric October 7th attacks". On February 6, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order 14203, titled "Imposing Sanctions on the International Criminal Court."
