Common-Sense Law Enforcement and Accountability Now in DC Act of 2025
The bill restores pre‑2022 policing authorities and legal clarity for D.C. agencies but does so by rolling back recent police‑accountability reforms, increasing risks to affected communities and creating administrative costs.
Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Energy relating to "Energy Conservation Program for Appliance Standards: Certification Requirements, Labeling Requirements, and Enforcement Provisions for Certain Consumer Products and Commercial Equipment".
Territorial Protection and Sovereignty Act
The bill eliminates statutory protections tied to TPS—potentially reducing some federal administrative costs and clarifying agency authority—while forcing many beneficiaries out of lawful status, risking family separation, economic harm, threats to personal safety, local economic disruption, and reduced federal flexibility to respond to future humanitarian crises.
D.C. Shield Law Repeal Act
The bill returns D.C. law to its pre-2022 status, restoring prior protections and regulatory clarity for many residents and businesses while creating disruption and legal uncertainty for those who had relied on the 2022 changes and imposing administrative burdens on D.C. authorities.
To require the District of Columbia to permit Members of Congress who have a valid license or permit which is issued pursuant to the law of a State which permits the Member to carry a concealed firearm, or who is otherwise entitled to carry a concealed firearm in the State in which the Member resides, to carry a concealed firearm in the District of Columbia, and for other purposes.
The bill lets Members of Congress carry concealed weapons in D.C. under state permits—improving protection and legal clarity for lawmakers—while increasing public‑safety risks, raising equity concerns, and adding verification burdens for local authorities.
Lanier Parks Local Access Act

Constitutional Hearing Protection Act
The bill reduces federal tax/registration burdens and narrows retained federal ownership records while clarifying some marking and definition rules to ease compliance and protect privacy for lawful silencer owners, but it shifts tracking and oversight away from federal and state authorities—raising law‑enforcement, safety, compliance, and cost risks for governments, manufacturers, and some owners.
Postal Service Transparency and Review Act
The bill increases regulatory and congressional oversight to protect mail service and postal jobs, but does so at the cost of slower USPS changes, higher short-term costs, reduced operational flexibility, and greater risk of political intervention.
SHORT Act
The bill reduces federal paperwork, taxes, and state-level burdens and increases owner privacy for certain firearms, but does so at the cost of diminished local regulatory authority, reduced government records and traceability, and heightened public‑safety and enforcement risks.
To amend title 23, United States Code, to withhold certain apportionment funds from the District of Columbia unless the Mayor of the District of Columbia removes the phrase Black Lives Matter from the street symbolically designated as Black Lives Matter Plaza, redesignates such street as Liberty Plaza, and removes such phrase from each website, document, and other material under the jurisdiction of the District of Columbia.
The bill enacts a symbolic street-renaming and ties federal highway funds to D.C. compliance—giving Congress enforceable leverage but risking large federal funding cuts, project delays and costs, administrative strain, and limits on local self-governance and expressive autonomy.
