Bill > HR95

This bill, called the "One Bill, One Subject Transparency Act," aims to reform how bills are drafted and passed in Congress by requiring each bill or joint resolution to focus on only one subject. Specifically, the bill mandates that the subject of a bill must be clearly and descriptively expressed in its title, and appropriations bills cannot include unrelated legislative provisions. If a bill violates these rules, the bill provides mechanisms for invalidating the entire act or specific provisions. Under the proposed law, any person, including members of Congress, could bring a legal action to challenge bills that do not comply with the single-subject requirement. If such a legal challenge is brought, the court would review the case using a "de novo" standard, meaning it would examine the issue completely anew without deferring to previous interpretations. The enforcement mechanisms include voiding entire acts or specific provisions that do not adhere to the single-subject rule, with the goal of increasing legislative transparency and preventing the practice of attaching unrelated amendments to bills. This approach is intended to make the legislative process more focused, clear, and accountable to the public.
