 |
|
|
| This bill prohibits federal funds, including funds in the District of Columbia budget, from being used for abortions and prohibits health insurance plans that include federal subsidies from coverage of abortions. Exceptions are made for rape, incest and the life of the mother. | |||||
| 2017-02-03 | Overturning Federal Control Over Methane Emissions [HJRES36] | Agreed To (221-191) |
|
|
|
| This resolution invokes the Congressional Review Act to overturn an Obama Administration rule that puts controls on methane emissions from oil and gas drilling on federal lands. ACU opposes these regulations without congressional authorization that drive up the cost of oil and gas to promote a "global warming" agenda. | |||||
| 2017-02-07 | Overturning Federal Control of Education [HJRES57] | Agreed To (234-190) |
|
|
|
| This resolution invokes the Congressional Review Act to overturn an Obama Administration rule that reinstates federal control over state accountability plans under the new education act. ACU opposes this attempt to use federal funds to pressure states into agreeing to federal mandates. | |||||
| 2017-02-16 | Defunding Planned Parenthood Funding [HJRES43] | Agreed To (230-188) |
|
|
|
| This resolution invokes the Congressional Review Act to overturn an Obama Administration rule that forces states to send taxpayer funds for "family planning," known as Title X funds, to Planned Parenthood. | |||||
| 2017-03-09 | Tort Reform [HR985] | Passed (220-201) |
|
|
|
| This bill reforms the laws that govern class action lawsuits to make sure that these lawsuits truly represent a "class" of people who have suffered the same injury. Among other provisions, it requires certification that no relatives or former employees or clients of counsel are involved, limits attorney fees and requires proof that those represented have actually agreed to participate. ACU supports reform of class action lawsuits that are often more for the benefit of attorneys than clients. | |||||
| 2017-03-28 | FCC Privacy Rule [SJRES34] | Agreed To (215-205) |
|
|
|
| This resolution invokes the Congressional Review Act to overturn an Obama Administration rule that mandates how internet service providers can store and use information from customers. ACU opposes executive agency mandates that are properly handled through congressional legislation and, as with other Obama Administration rules, exempts companies such as Google and Facebook from similar regulation. | |||||
| 2017-05-04 | Obamacare Repeal [HR1628] | Passed (217-213) |
|
|
|
| This bill repeals major parts of Obamacare over a period of time, including capping Medicaid expansion, to primarily able-bodied childless adults and ending the expansion in 2020 while defunding Planned Parenthood for one year. The bill still keeps some insurance mandates while allowing more requests for waivers from mandates that force less risky customers to pay higher premiums to subsidize more risky customers. ACU supports the complete repeal of a program that has caused millions of people to lose their insurance plans and their doctors while dramatically increasing insurance premiums and deductibles and supported this bill as a step in the right direction. This vote was double-weighted due to its role in attempting to dismantle Obamacare. | |||||
| 2017-06-08 | Dodd-Frank Banking Regulation Repeal [HR10] | Passed (233-186) |
|
|
|
| This bill repeals much of the Dodd-Frank banking regulation act, removing draconian regulations on community banks, eliminating "too big to fail" provisions on large banks, ending government guarantees to bail out banks' bad debt and simplifying regulations for small businesses. The bill also replaces the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) with the Consumer Law Enforcement Agency with a director who serves at the pleasure of the President and is subject to the congressional appropriation process. ACU supports the reform of these laws and the rogue CFPB that have combined to stifle small business loans and impose regulations at the whim of the CFPB director. | |||||
| 2017-06-29 | Defunding Sanctuary Cities [HR3003] | Passed (228-195) |
|
No Vote | |

Under the bill, authorities cannot be prevented from asking about a person's immigration status and certain Justice Department grants can be withheld from those who do not comply with requests for cooperation. ACU supports the enforcement of federal immigration laws. | |||||
