Transparency Act: One Bill, One Subject

This act aims to increase transparency in lawmaking. It introduces a rule that each new bill or joint resolution from Congress must cover only one subject, which must be clearly stated in its title. This is intended to help citizens understand exactly what new laws change and prevent unrelated issues from being hidden within a single bill.
Key points
Each new bill or resolution will be limited to only one subject.
The title of the bill must clearly and accurately describe its content.
Provisions unrelated to the main subject or not described in the title may be voided.
Citizens and members of Congress can challenge laws that do not meet these requirements, increasing oversight of the legislative process.
