| 2022-01-12 | Diminishing Active Military Service [HR1836] | Passed (287-135) |
 |
 |
 |
| This bill, known as the "Guard and Reserve GI Bill Parity Act," would cost taxpayers $5 billion over 10 years by expanding access to full veterans benefits by rewarding annual training engaged in by National Guard and Reserve members in addition to active military service. The bill provides no spending offset for the costs associated with the increased benefits. CPAC points out any call-up of reserves to active duty is already included in time served and diminishes the role of active military service. | |||||
| 2022-01-13 | Federalizing State Elections and Weakening Ballot Integrity [HR5746] | Agreed To (220-203) |
|
|
|
| This bill, known as the "Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act," federalizes state elections and makes unelected bureaucrats within the Department of Justice arbiters of election law. CPAC opposes this attempt to federalize state elections and weaken election integrity. | |||||
| 2022-02-03 | Withdrawing From the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change [HR4521] | Rejected (196-235) |
|
|
|
| Perry (R-PA) amendment to the "United States Innovation and Competition Act" withdraws the United States from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The UNFCCC requires the U.S. to spend billions of dollars in commitments to other countries and forces changes in U.S. energy production which are not being followed by other countries, such as India and China. | |||||
| 2022-02-04 | Pouring Gasoline on an Inflationary Fire [HR4521] | Passed (222-210) |
|
|
|
| This bill, known as the "United States Innovation and Competition Act of 2021," spends $320 billion of taxpayer funds on union-favored special interests. CPAC believes the free market, not government, should dictate investment into private industry, and opposes fueling an inflationary fire through $320 billion in new discretionary spending. | |||||
| 2022-02-08 | Postal "Reform" Act Without Reform [HR3076] | Passed (342-92) |
|
|
|
| This union-backed bill, known as the "Postal Service Reform Act," does nothing to actually reform the postal service and instead bails out the pension system that is deeply in debt. The bill removes the requirement that USPS prepay its pension health benefits. CPAC believes this is a fiscally irresponsible way of avoiding competition with private delivery services. | |||||
| 2022-03-17 | Protecting Employers from Costly Litigation [HR963] | Rejected (184-246) |
|
|
|
| Fitzgerald (R-WI) amendment to the "Fair Act" removes a provision from the bill that bans the use of arbitration for non-union employees while allowing it for unionized employees. CPAC believes this blatant sop to the trial lawyers, as well as the unions, is highly discriminatory. | |||||
| 2022-03-30 | New Mandates on the Transportation Industry [HR5706] | Agreed To (339-85) |
|
|
|
| This bill expands government mandates and the regulatory power of the Department of Transportation under the guise of preventing sexual harassment. CPAC opposes expanding the authority of the federal government over the private sector. | |||||
| 2022-03-30 | Complicating the Process for Economic Development [HR5547] | Agreed To (304-122) |
|
|
|
| This bill, known as the "CEDS Act," would require businesses which request funds from the Economic Development Administration to provide a litany of non-economic impacts from the proposed developments. CPAC believes this policy puts smaller-sized firms at a disadvantage by vastly expanding application requirements. | |||||
| 2022-03-31 | Forcing a Christmas Vote on the Budget [HR6833] | Agreed To (232-193) |
|
|
|
| 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. | |||||
