| 2022-06-24 | Expanding Gun Control [S2938] | Agreed To (234-193) |
|
|
|
| This bill, the so-called "Bipartisan Safer Communities Act," includes various gun control measures including expanded background checks for those under 21 and provides additional funding to states that administer "red flag" laws which allow judges to arbitrarily seize firearms from individuals even when no crime has been committed. | |||||

|
|
|
| Lee (D-CA), amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act, which would cut $100 billion from defense spending. CPAC supports a robust national defense and opposes blanket non-targeted cuts to defense. | |||||
| 2022-07-15 | Forcing States to Provide Abortion on Demand [HR8296] | Passed (219-210) |
|
|
|
| This bill, known as the Women's Health Protection Act, removes all restrictions on abortions. Specifically, this bill allows abortion by telemedicine and prohibits any government entity from interfering with an abortion in any way. The bill would also eliminate parental notification or consent to a minor's abortion as that might delay an abortion, which is prohibited, and provides no religious conscience protections. CPAC believes abortion is always a human tragedy and supports restrictions on the practice. | |||||
| 2022-07-15 | Directing States to Eliminate Restrictions on Out-Of-State Abortions [HR8297] | Passed (223-205) |
|
|
|
| This bill, known as the "Ensuring Access to Abortion Act," prohibits any restriction on trafficking women to get abortions across state lines. CPAC believes abortion is always a human tragedy and supports restrictions on the practice. | |||||
| 2022-07-21 | Violating Conscience Protections [HR8373] | Passed (228-195) |
|
|
|
| This bill, the so-called "Right to Contraception Act," would overturn commonsense conscience laws and force religious organizations, like the Little Sisters of the Poor, to distribute chemical abortion pills and other abortifacients. CPAC supports conscience protections. | |||||
| 2022-07-27 | Forcing Taxpayers to Bailout Private Pensions [HR6929] | Passed (254-175) |
|
|
|
| This union-backed bill forces taxpayers to spend nearly $1 billion to pay for pension benefits lost as a result of the bankruptcy of General Motors in 2009. CPAC opposes singling out General Motors' employee benefits when other businesses had to deal with the results of the "great recession" too. | |||||
| 2022-07-28 | Stealing from Taxpayers to Fund a Government-Favored Industry [HR4346] | Agreed To (243-187) |
|
|
|
| This bill, known as the "CHIPS Act," takes $250 billion from taxpayers to give to the government-favored semiconductor industry without necessary protections that would prevent Chinese linked firms from being the primary beneficiaries. CPAC does not believe the government should use taxpayer funds to support one industry over another. | |||||
| 2022-07-29 | Reviving The "Assault" Weapons Ban [HR1808] | Passed (217-213) |
|
|
|
| This bill revives the Clinton-era assault weapons ban although there is little agreement on what an "assault" weapon is. CPAC supports the founders' belief in the Second Amendment. | |||||
| 2022-07-29 | Excessive Restrictions on "Big Cat" Ownership [HR263] | Passed (278-134) |
|
|
|
| This bill, known as the "Big Cat Public Safety Act", would place excessive new restrictions on the ownership of big cats (i.e., lions, tigers, cheetahs, jaguars) in order to restrict the ability of small, community and family-owned zoos to compete with the big zoo industry. CPAC recognizes this bill as a prime example of profit-motivated business competitors petitioning the government to quash competition. The bill was lobbied by Carole Baskin, whose tax-exempt Big Cat Rescue "sanctuary" would be exempt from restrictions in the bill while her competitors would be stifled. CPAC opposes this crony measure designed to restrict competition and enrich special interests. | |||||
| 2022-08-12 | The Inflation Expansion Act [HR5376] | Agreed To (220-207) |
|
|
|
| This bill, the so-called "Inflation Reduction Act," includes a long list of measures that raise taxes, feed inflation and advance the left's agenda to reduce America's energy independence. Examples include funding for the IRS to add 87,000 employees, price controls on some drugs (which creates shortages and raises prices -- even for other drugs), and adding tax credits for those who get renewable energy (including electric cars) and solar from union-approved sources. The bill "pays" for this through a minimum corporate tax and a 1% stock transfer tax among others. CPAC opposes this massive increase in government. | |||||
| 2022-09-15 | Repealing Government Employee Reform [HR302] | Passed (225-204) |
|
|
|
| This bill eliminates the new Schedule F class of federal employees created in 2020 that attempted to allow those who hold policy-making positions to be appointed rather than be filled by union protected positions. | |||||
| 2022-09-29 | Giving the Failing VA New Bureaucracies to Manage [HR8888] | Agreed To (376-49) |
|
 |
 |
| This bill sets up a new bureaucracy within the Veterans Department, the Office of Food Security, to advise veterans of nutrition assistance programs. CPAC opposes setting up new offices within the V.A. when it does nothing to alleviate the huge backlog of cases in the V.A. | |||||
| 2022-09-30 | Forcing a Christmas Vote on the Budget [HR6833] | Agreed To (230-201) |
|
|
|
| This continuing resolution postpones the Fiscal Year 2023 appropriation until just before Christmas. This move prevents Congress from having time to pass the full 12 appropriation bills separately and continues the trillions of dollars in debt that has fed inflation. CPAC supports a resolution that would extend into the new year when there would be a change in congressional leadership. | |||||
| 2022-12-08 | An Attack on Religious Rights [HR8404] | Agreed To (258-169) |
|
|
|
| This bill, the so-called "Respect for Marriage Act," is a trojan horse that will be used to decimate religious liberty. This legislation would force people of faith and religious-affiliated institutions to violate their sincerely-held beliefs. Those individuals who choose to adhere to tenets of their faith and moral convictions would face costly litigation. And for religious-affiliated institutions, the legislation would empower President Biden's politicized IRS to threaten their tax-exempt status. Sen. Lee (R-UT), offered an amendment which would have given these necessary protections which are not included in this bill. | |||||
| 2022-12-23 | A Lame-Duck Budget With Record Non-Defense Spending Increases [HR2617] | Agreed To (225-201) |
|
|
|
| This is the appropriations bill for the entire $1.7 trillion federal budget for Fiscal Year 2023, and it sets overall spending limits by agency or program. This new budget includes nearly $800 billion in non-defense funding, a 9.3% increase -- $68 billion -- over Fiscal Year 2022. This represents the highest level of non-defense funding ever. Passed only 3 days after being introduced, CPAC vehemently opposes this method of passing the budget, including allowing Democrats to pass the first-ever lame duck omnibus before the new Republican majority takes power. | |||||
