Bill Summary
A BILL To require that each bill enacted by Congress be limited to only one subject, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the One Bill, One Subject Transparency Act, requires that each bill enacted by Congress be limited to only one subject, with the subject clearly and descriptively expressed in the title. It also prohibits appropriations bills from containing any general legislation or changes to existing law that are not directly related to the underlying subject matter. The bill provides for a mechanism to challenge and void any legislation that violates these requirements, allowing any person, including members of Congress, to bring a lawsuit seeking an injunction against the enforcement of such non-compliant laws. The standard of review in these legal challenges would be de novo, meaning the court would review the matter anew without deference to the initial legislative action.
