Introduced on January 3, 2025 by Brian K. Fitzpatrick
This proposal would stop Congress from sending “mega-bills” to the President. Each bill would have to deal with only one subject, and that topic must be clearly stated in the bill’s title. This rule would start with the current Congress and continue going forward.
It would also end special carve-outs that let Members of Congress or their staff avoid laws that apply to everyone else. They would have to follow the same laws as the public. The bill makes clear that normal rules needed to do their jobs—like being able to enter and use the Capitol—would still apply. A summary of the measure says the same: one subject per bill, and no exceptions for Members or their staff.
