AI Summary

This bill, the "One Subject at a Time Act," aims to end the practice of including more than one subject in a single bill passed by Congress. The key provisions are: (1) each bill or joint resolution must embrace only one subject, which must be clearly and descriptively expressed in the title; (2) appropriations bills cannot contain any general legislation or changes to existing law that are not germane to the subject of the appropriations bill; and (3) if a bill's title addresses two or more unrelated subjects, or if the bill contains provisions on a subject not clearly expressed in the title, those provisions will be deemed void. The bill also provides a cause of action for individuals or members of Congress to challenge the enforcement of laws passed without complying with these requirements.
