This bill would stop federal candidates and officeholders from using campaign funds to pay their spouses for services. It would also require their campaign committees to publicly report all payments made to spouses and immediate family members. If a candidate or officeholder knowingly breaks these new rules, they would face personal penalties that their committee could not pay back.

This bill would let state and local governments block refugees from settling in their areas. Currently, states and cities do not have this power. If passed, refugees could not be resettled in places that formally disapprove for that budget year.

This bill would express Congress's view that the U.S. should treat Taiwan as an independent country. It would call for normal diplomatic ties, a free trade agreement, and support for Taiwan joining international groups. This would be a big shift from the current "One China Policy" that guides U.S. relations with Taiwan.
