2018-01-19 Protecting Children who Survive Abortion [HR4712] Passed
(241-183)
This bill, known as the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, requires all health practitioners to immediately admit to a hospital any child who is born alive after an abortion is attempted and failed. Additionally, practitioners will face criminal penalties if they do not provide the same degree of care to children who survive abortion as they would any other child.
2018-02-15 Reforming the Americans with Disabilities Act to Reduce Frivolous Litigation [HR620] Passed
(225-192)
This bill helps reduce frivolous litigation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by providing businesses with an opportunity to fix a violation before a lawsuit may be brought against them for ADA noncompliance. Furthermore, the bill directs the Judicial Conference of the United States to develop an alternative mediation mechanism that promotes quicker resolutions of ADA disputes without costly litigation. ACU supports this measure to promote faster compliance to better meet the needs of people with disabilities while also reducing costly litigation, which enriches lawyers at the expense of both businesses and consumers.
2018-03-08 Ending the War on Coal through Regulatory Reform [HR1119] Passed
(215-189)		 No Vote
This bill eases emissions regulations on power plants that generate electricity through the burning of coal refuse (a byproduct of coal). Under the bill, a coal refuse plant is only required to meet certain standards relating to hydrogen chloride or sulfur dioxide, as opposed to both. ACU supports all sources of energy and this approach to regulatory reform, which allows the nation's 18 coal refuse plants to remain operational.
