Bill > S287

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 of the bill are: 1. Each bill or joint resolution must address only one subject, which must be clearly and descriptively expressed in the title. 2. Appropriations bills cannot contain any provisions that are not directly related to the subject matter of the bill. 3. If a bill addresses multiple unrelated subjects in its title, the entire bill is void. If a bill contains provisions not clearly expressed in its title, only those provisions are void. 4. Individuals or members of Congress can file lawsuits to challenge the enforcement of any law passed without following the single-subject requirement, and the courts will review such cases de novo (from the beginning). The goal of this bill is to promote transparency and accountability in the legislative process by ensuring that each piece of legislation focuses on a single, clearly defined issue.
