Fair Law: Single-Subject Bills and Equal Application for Congress Members

This act aims to simplify the legislative process by ensuring each new bill addresses only one topic, clearly stated in its title. Additionally, it establishes that all members of Congress are subject to the same laws as ordinary citizens, eliminating previous exceptions. This will make it easier for citizens to understand what each law changes and ensure their representatives are not privileged.
Key points
Each new bill will be limited to a single subject, making its content easier to understand.
The title of each bill must clearly describe its sole subject, increasing transparency.
Members of Congress and their staff will be subject to the same laws as all citizens, without special exceptions.
Exceptions for Congress members will only apply to actions related to their official duties, such as using Capitol buildings.
