H.R.1 — 119th Congress (2025-2026)






H. R. 1: Comprehensive Federal Program and Tax Amendments


The provided text, excerpted from a lengthy bill designated H.R. 1, outlines a broad legislative agenda encompassing defense, energy, economic, and social reforms. Key financial allocations are directed toward national security, including substantial funds for hypersonic missile defense systems and resources for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and border operations. The document proposes a significant shift in energy policy by mandating increased offshore oil and gas leasing and simultaneously calling for the termination of numerous existing clean energy tax credits. Economically, the bill introduces sweeping tax changes, such as making full expensing for business property permanent, reforming opportunity zones, and establishing a new savings plan referred to as a "Trump account." Furthermore, the legislation seeks to reshape federal assistance programs by introducing strict community engagement requirements for Medicaid eligibility and modifying SNAP work requirements for able-bodied adults. Other provisions cover diverse topics, including funding for air traffic control improvements, federal employee health benefit eligibility verification, and amendments to agricultural commodity programs.
