Public businesses could not use Sharia law to treat customers unfairly under this bill. It would make it clear that if a public business uses Sharia law to offer goods or services, that would be unfair treatment based on religion. This would protect people from this kind of unfair treatment and stop businesses from doing it.

Today, states use federal funds mainly to expand internet access. This bill would let states apply to use any leftover money from the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program. They could use it to pay for things like emergency sirens, flood sensors, or earthquake detection systems, helping local communities improve disaster preparedness.

This resolution would have the Senate formally support Operation Absolute Resolve, a military and law enforcement effort that captured Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.

This bill would change immigration law to make certain serious drunk driving offenses a more severe crime under federal rules.

This bill would create new rules for U.S. businesses and individuals investing in advanced technologies in countries like China, Russia, and Iran.

The new rules would also allow the government to sanction certain foreign entities from China.

This bill would create new federal crimes for killing, attempting to kill, or assaulting federal, state, and local law enforcement officers, judges, and first responders, leading to tougher sentences.
