Rep. Van Duyne opposes federal funding to non-governmental organizations that provide housing, transportation, legal services, or other assistance to undocumented immigrants, and introduced legislation to prohibit such funding.
Rep. Van Duyne's statement opposes federal funding to NGOs assisting undocumented immigrants and introduced legislation to prohibit such funding. The Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 is a broad omnibus bill funding multiple departments including DHS, State Department, and HHS—agencies that may administer programs supporting immigrant services. Her NO vote is consistent with opposition to appropriations that fund such assistance. However, the bill bundles funding across six major appropriations bills covering defense, treasury, judiciary, and other unrelated priorities, making it unclear whether her vote was driven primarily by immigration-related provisions or other objections to the omnibus package.

Rep. Van Duyne's statement opposes federal funding to NGOs providing housing, transportation, legal services, and other assistance to undocumented immigrants. The Schools Not Shelters Act addresses a narrower question: prohibiting use of school facilities to shelter undocumented immigrants. The rep's YES vote aligns directionally with her stated opposition to government-facilitated support for undocumented immigrants, but the bill does not address NGO funding broadly or transportation and legal services—only school facility use. The statement and bill share an immigration enforcement theme but target different mechanisms and scopes.

Rep. Van Duyne opposes federal funding to non-governmental organizations that provide housing, transportation, legal services, or other assistance to undocumented immigrants, and introduced legislation to prohibit such funding.
Both the statement and bill address federal funding/resources for assisting undocumented immigrants, but they target different mechanisms. The statement opposes federal funding to NGOs for housing, transportation, legal services, and other assistance. The bill prohibits use of federally administered lands (national parks, public lands) for housing non-admitted aliens and revokes a specific NPS-NYC lease. Van Duyne's YES vote aligns with her stated opposition to government resources supporting undocumented immigrants, but the bill's specific prohibition on federal lands differs from the statement's focus on NGO funding streams. The overlap is directional but the precise policy tools and scope are distinct.

Van Duyne Introduces H-1B Visa Fraud Crackdown Act Raising Penalties for Abuse in the H-1B Visa Program
Position: Introduces legislation to increase civil penalties and sponsorship bans for willful H-1B visa violations and immigration document fraud, arguing that American jobs should go to American workers.
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Representative Beth Van Duyne (R-TX-24) introduced H.R. 10643, the H-1B Visa Fraud Crackdown Act, to increase penalties for willful H-1B violations, extend minimum sponsorship bans, and strengthen fines for immigration document fraud.
"When a business can lie to the government and push American workers aside for cheaper labor, and the worst it faces is a $5,000 fine, many view that as the cost of doing business," said Rep. Van Duyne. "The H-1B Visa Fraud Crackdown Act changes the penalties. American jobs should go to American workers, and fraudsters should face real accountability for their actions."
Earlier this year, Rep. Van Duyne led a request with fellow North Texas Members of Congress, Reps. Pat Fallon (R-TX-04), Ronny Jackson (R-TX-13), and Brandon Gill (R-TX-26) to Vice President Vance, Secretary Rubio, then Acting-Secretary Sonderling, and Secretary Mullin urging the Trump Administration to investigate H-1B fraud in North Texas.
As Vice President Vance recently said, Congress needs to act to fix the H-1B visa program. The H-1B Visa Fraud Crackdown Act does that by raising penalties so violators face real consequences.
Since the request, Rep. Van Duyne has met with administration officials on what can be done:
Received confirmation from Secretary Mullin that as of June 2026 nearly 60% of H-1B fraud investigations of employers nationwide are concentrated in the North Texas region.
In August, Labor Department Inspector General D'Esposito visited North Texas and found nearly 500 instances of likely H-1B visa fraud in one building alone. At the addresses he visited where an H-1B application had been approved, no one answered the door.
"I'm thankful for the Administration's quick response," said Rep. Van Duyne. "American workers should not lose opportunities because an employer is willing to break the law to get cheaper labor. If a business decides it makes more economic sense to break the law and kick American workers to the curb, they should feel major pain for undercutting our economy and our hardworking employees."
The H-1B Visa Fraud Crackdown Act increases civil penalties for willful, serious H-1B violations, extends minimum sponsorship bans, and strengthens monetary fines for immigration document fraud. The bill gives federal enforcement agencies stronger tools to hold violators accountable, with the highest H-1B penalties reserved for violations involving displacement of U.S. workers.
Higher penalties for "willful violations"
Raises the maximum civil penalty from $5,000 to $100,000 for covered willful H-1B violations, such as lying about the job being performed or underpaying a worker.
Stronger consequences for worker displacement
Raises the maximum civil penalty from $35,000 to $250,000 for violations involving the willful displacement of U.S. workers.
Increases the minimum ban of H-1B sponsorship from two to five years for a serious, willful violation, and from three to ten years for violations additionally involving worker displacement.
Tougher immigration document fraud provisions
Raises civil penalties to a minimum of $1000 and a maximum of $10,000 per document, and from a minimum of $20,000 to a maximum of $50,000 per document for violations after a prior order. These penalties apply to covered immigration document fraud, including H-1B cases.
The H-1B Visa Fraud Crackdown Act is co-sponsored by: U.S. Representatives Brian Babin (R-TX-36), Pat Fallon (R-TX-04), Brandon Gill (R-TX-26), Keith Self (R-TX-03), and Pete Sessions (R-TX-17).

Rep. Van Duyne Introduces Bipartisan Legislation to Bring Regulatory Clarity to Hemp-derived Beverages
Position: The release supports the Beverage Regulatory Parity Act, which would establish a federal three-tier distribution system and labeling, advertising, and trade-practice rules for hemp-derived beverages, in place of the federal deadline of November 12, 2026 that would effectively eliminate the legal market for these products. It frames the framework as protecting children while preserving adult access.
Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representatives Beth Van Duyne (R-TX-24) and Greg Landsman (D-OH-01) introduced the Beverage Regulatory Parity Act. The bill gives Congress a targeted framework that protects children, provides regulatory certainty, and allows responsible hemp beverage companies to operate under clear standards.
A federal deadline set to take effect November 12, 2026, threatens to all but eliminate the legal marketplace for hemp-derived beverages. The Beverage Regulatory Parity Act offers a targeted alternative, by establishing a three-tier distribution system along with labeling, advertising, and trade-practice rules that have governed alcohol for nearly a century.
"I've heard directly from people across North Texas who consume hemp-derived beverages, and businesses who sell them, that they need clarity, not a ban that pushes this market underground," said Rep. Van Duyne. "The Beverage Regulatory Parity Act brings long-overdue certainty to the industry by regulating these beverages with the same proven structure that has successfully governed alcohol for decades. I am glad to introduce this bipartisan legislation alongside Rep. Greg Landsman, because American families and responsible businesses deserve structure and sensible regulations that protect children while allowing adults to choose beverages they prefer."
"There are people all over Southwest Ohio who have invested significantly in these products, and they've done so safely," said Rep. Landsman. "Now the federal government is telling them they can't sell these products anymore. Our bill is bipartisan and very straightforward. It will keep people safe and let these folks stay in business."
"For nearly a century, the alcohol regulatory system has kept consumers safe while giving legitimate businesses clear rules to operate under. Rep. Van Duyne's bill extends that same proven framework to hemp-derived beverages. WSWA is proud to support this legislation and thanks the Congresswoman for her leadership in addressing products that have grown in popularity and are already on store shelves. We urge Congress to act before the November 12 deadline eliminates responsible options from the marketplace entirely." – Dawson Hobbs, EVP of Government Affairs, WSWA (Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America)
"The Texas Package Stores Association applauds Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne for taking a strong, common-sense approach to regulating hemp-derived beverages—one that protects children while preserving the freedom of adults to make responsible choices," said Lance Lively, Executive Director of the Texas Package Stores Association. "Congresswoman Van Duyne understands that personal freedom and personal responsibility go hand in hand, and that a strong, regulated marketplace is the best way to keep intoxicating products out of the hands of children while ensuring responsible adults have access to legal products."
"The Coalition for Adult Beverage Alternatives has long called for one thing: regulate low-dose hemp beverages like alcohol. The Beverage Regulatory Parity Act is delivering on that ask, and we are proud to stand firmly behind it. From trade practices to dosage limitations to taxation, this legislation moves us toward the parity our industry needs and deserves. Most critically, the Beverage Regulatory Parity Act codifies the three-tier system for hemp beverages, the same framework that has made the United States alcohol regulatory model the safest in the world. This structure works because it creates accountability at every level of the supply chain, ensures regulation through chain of custody, and keeps products out of the hands of minors. We commend Congresswoman Van Duyne and Congressman Landsman for introducing this legislation, which establishes sensible regulation that prioritizes consumer protection and safe access." – Diana Eberlein, Chair, Coalition for Adult Beverage Alternatives
"As a United States Marine Corps veteran and Founder of the American Alternative Care Policy Network, I commend Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne for her leadership in supporting responsible federal policy for consumable hemp beverages. Veterans deserve access to safe, legal, and responsibly regulated wellness options. Clear standards for testing, labeling, and consumer protection can safeguard the public while preserving the ability of veterans and other Americans to make informed choices about their own wellness. AACPN supports Congresswoman Van Duyne's efforts to establish a balanced federal framework that protects consumers, preserves responsible access, and ensures veterans remain part of this important policy conversation." – Adrian Bruneau, Founder, American Alternative Care Policy Network (AACPN) | U.S. Marine Corps Veteran
"Total Wine & More applauds Representatives Beth Van Duyne and Greg Landsman for introducing the Beverage Regulatory Parity Act, which brings low-dose hemp-infused beverages into the same three-tier system that has safely regulated beer, wine, and spirits for decades. This framework, with licensed manufacturers, distributors, and retailers, along with age verification, testing, and labeling standards, is a smart way to protect consumers while giving responsible businesses certainty. We thank Representatives Van Duyne and Landsman for their leadership and urge Congress to act quickly to pass this legislation." – Total Wine & More
"The Hemp Beverage Alliance strongly supports the Beverage Regulatory Parity Act," said Christopher Lackner, founder and president, Hemp Beverage Alliance. "The alcohol regulatory system is a proven success that consumers trust. The three-tier system will protect public health, require strong product testing and quality control, ensure products are kept away from children, and allow responsible adults to enjoy hemp beverages as they would any other adult beverage."
"The Beverage Regulatory Parity Act is a thoughtful and serious approach to regulating hemp beverages in the United States," said John Bodnovich, Executive Director of American Beverage Licensees. "Licensed beverage retailers have been consistent in calling for a safe, well-regulated, and accountable marketplace for hemp beverages, just as they have supported the effective system of state-based alcohol regulation that promotes public safety and responsibility while meeting consumer needs. We applaud Representatives Van Duyne and Landsman for their bipartisan leadership and their work to develop this important legislation."
"We applaud Representatives Van Duyne and Landsman for putting forward a regulatory framework for low dose hemp beverages that aligns interests and addresses consumer demand," said Jonathan Grella, spokesperson for BAMCO. "Their bill provides a path to a safe, regulated marketplace for low-dose hemp beverages while removing the synthetic and inhalable products that have raised serious concerns. We look forward to working with Representatives Van Duyne and Landsman to build on the proven safeguards of the beverage alcohol system and get the regulation right."
What the Beverage Regulatory Parity Act Does:
Protects children by putting strong labeling and advertising rules in place – prohibiting any labels, graphics, or ads designed to appeal to kids.
Protects states' rights ensuring nothing in the bill stops any state from adding their own rules or prohibiting hemp-derived beverages completely.
Imposes a nationwide 21-and-over standard, mandatory testing, TTB permits, strict THC limits, and detailed risk warnings.
Bans synthetically derived cannabinoids to ensure only natural plant-based compounds end up in these beverages eliminating any unpredictable lab-made substances.
Institutes a straightforward federal excise tax, similar to alcohol, on each milligram of intoxicating THC in a hemp-derived beverage
This bill establishes responsible federal rules that keep these products out of the hands of minors, while ensuring fair competition, and allowing the states to maintain full control of their own laws.
The Beverage Regulatory Parity Act is supported by: Beverage Alcohol Merchants Coalition (BAMCO), Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA), Texas Package Stores Association (TPSA), Specs Wine, Spirits & Fine Foods, Coalition of Adult Beverage Alternatives (CABA), Hemp Beverage Alliance (HBA), American Alternative Care Policy Network (AACPN), Total Wine & More, American Beverage Licensees (ABL), Beverage Wholesalers for Responsible Regulation (BWRR), and Texas Food & Fuel Association.

Van Duyne Leads Resolution Condemning Omar Suleiman for Celebrating Death of Sen. Lindsey Graham
Position: Representative Van Duyne led a House resolution condemning Omar Suleiman for publicly celebrating the death of Senator Lindsey Graham and for his prior role as a 2019 Guest Chaplain invited by House Democrats.
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Representative Beth Van Duyne (R-TX-24) led a resolution, with the Republican Study Committee, condemning Omar Suleiman for celebrating the death of Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and acknowledging that House Democrats invited him to serve as Guest Chaplain of the U.S. House of Representatives in 2019.
Hours after Sen. Graham's passing over the weekend, Omar Suleiman, Founder and President of the Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research in Irving, Texas, publicly celebrated Graham's death, writing that he hoped Graham would "live an eternity in ruins."
"I awoke on Sunday morning like many of my colleagues to the shocking news of Sen. Graham's passing – he dedicated his life to public service as a legislator and military officer," said Rep. Van Duyne. "The outpouring of love and appreciation for Sen. Graham was incredible and heartwarming to see. Equally, the hatred and truly evil attacks against him were utterly shocking, especially one that I saw from my hometown by an Islamist religious leader, Omar Suleiman."
Rep. Van Duyne continues, "Omar Suleiman's response to Senator Lindsey Graham's death was not merely tasteless, it was depraved. He sneered, 'Bye Lindsey,' and condemned him to 'an eternity in ruins.' That is not compassion. It is not faith. It is the language of hatred from a man who presents himself as a religious leader."
Rep. Van Duyne was joined by Republican Study Committee Chairman August Pfluger (R-TX-11), and U.S. Representatives Claudia Tenney (R-NY-24), Erin Houchin (R-IN-09), Randy Weber (R-TX-14), Troy Nehls (R-TX-22), Michael Cloud (R-TX-27), Keith Self (R-TX-03), Wesley Hunt (R-TX-38), Nathaniel Moran (R-TX-01), Ronny Jackson (R-TX-13), Pat Fallon (R-TX-04), Craig Goldman (R-TX-12), Jake Ellzey (R-TX-06), Brian Babin (R-TX-36), Chip Roy (R-TX-21), Dan Crenshaw (R-TX-02), Michael McCaul (R-TX-10), Jodey Arrington (R-TX-19), Brandon Gill (R-TX-26), Roger Williams (R-TX-25), John Carter (R-TX-31), Morgan Luttrell (R-TX- 08), Randy Fine (R-FL-06), Abraham Hamadeh (R-AZ-08), and Monica De La Cruz, (R-TX-15) in introducing the resolution.

Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne Celebrates House Passage of the Recover COVID Unemployment Fraud in Banks Act
Position: The release supports H.R. 8873, the Recover COVID Unemployment Fraud in Banks Act, which would establish a federal taskforce to identify and recover fraudulently obtained pandemic unemployment insurance payments held in financial institutions or state unclaimed property systems.
Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Beth Van Duyne (R-TX-24), a member of the Ways and Means Committee celebrated the House passage of H.R. 8873 - Recover COVID Unemployment Fraud in Banks Act. Working with Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO-08) and Representative Tom Suozzi (D-NY-03), the bill has officially passed the House by unanimous consent.
The Recover COVID Unemployment Fraud in Banks Act establishes a federal taskforce, led by a National Recovery Coordinator, to work with applicable state agencies to identify federal pandemic UI payments issued on prepaid debit cards held by financial institutions or transferred to state agencies responsible for unclaimed property. Requires the taskforce to develop model processes that facilitate cost-effective recovery of payments and return them to the federal government.
"Every dollar going to fraud is a dollar that does not go to Americans who truly need it, and it is not too late to recover stolen unemployment insurance funds. But, Congress must act now," said Rep. Beth Van Duyne. "The Recover COVID Unemployment Fraud in Banks Act provides the coordination and accountability needed to reclaim these forgotten funds, return them to taxpayers, and ensure fraudsters are held accountable before these dollars become even harder to recover."
"Americans expect Congress to root out waste, fraud, and abuse in America's safety net programs, including unemployment insurance for jobless Americans. The Recover COVID Unemployment Fraud in Banks Act is critical to recovering the nearly $1 billion in fraudulent COVID-era unemployment insurance benefits sitting frozen in banks that rightfully belong to taxpayers. Without Congressional action, hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars could be permanently lost to fraud," said Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith. "Congresswoman Van Duyne has a long history of fighting the fraud epidemic even from her earliest days serving on the Ways and Means Committee, and I applaud her leadership on this effort."
"Criminals took advantage of some of the most vulnerable Americans during the pandemic, including senior citizens, and Congress today refused to let them get away with it. I'm proud to have helped pass this bipartisan bill to recover stolen taxpayer dollars, protect victims, hold fraudsters accountable, and root out waste, fraud, and abuse," said Rep. Tom Suozzi.

In the House, U.S. Representative Van Duyne was joined by U.S. Representatives Tom Suozzi (D-NY-03) and Randy Feenstra (R-IA-04) as co-sponsors of the bill. H.R. 8873 was advanced out of the Ways and Means Committee with a vote of 41-0 on May 21, 2026, and passed the House on June 29, 2026.

Rep. Van Duyne Introduces GTFO Act to Denaturalize Convicted Terrorists and FTO Supporters
Position: The release describes introduction of the GTFO Act, which would require denaturalization of naturalized citizens convicted of terrorist offenses or of crimes committed in coordination with designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations.
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Representative Beth Van Duyne (TX-24) introduced the Getting Terrorist Fanatics Out (GTFO) Act, following the dual terrorist attacks of March 12, 2026 at Old Dominion University and Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan as well as numerous documented instances of naturalized citizens working with violent, international cartels, designated in 2025 by the Trump Administration as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs). The bill would require the denaturalization of any naturalized citizen convicted of terrorist offenses, including planning or committing terrorist acts, or participating in crimes in coordination with known FTOs.
On March 12, 2026, a deadly terrorist attack occurred at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. The assailant, 36-year-old Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, a former Army National Guardsman with known ties to ISIS, opened fire on an ROTC class, fatally shooting instructor Lt. Col. Brandon Shah. Jalloh was subdued and killed by heroic ROTC cadets. Approximately two hours later, a Hezbollah-inspired terrorist attack occurred at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan. The assailant, 41-year-old Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, rammed a pickup truck into the synagogue while over 100 children were inside. He was confronted by synagogue security and died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
"When naturalized citizens are convicted of terrorism or supporting groups that kill Americans, they have forfeited their right to citizenship – we should have zero tolerance for these individuals," said Rep. Beth Van Duyne. "The GTFO Act requires courts to include mandatory denaturalization in sentencing, ensuring that those who use American citizenship to undermine our safety, poison our communities, and kill our citizens can never hide behind it again."
U.S. Representatives Ronny Jackson (TX-13), Greg Steube (FL-17), and Brandon Gill (TX-26) joined Representative Beth Van Duyne in introducing the bill.
Background:
President Trump initiated the designation of Mexican cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) on January 20, 2025, and the official State Department designations went into effect on February 20, 2025. The broad administration crackdown targeted several dominant Mexican cartels and regional alliances: Sinaloa Cartel (Cártel de Sinaloa); Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG); Gulf Cartel (Cártel del Golfo); Northeast Cartel / Los Zetas (Cártel del Noreste); La Nueva Familia Michoacana; United Cartels; and simultaneously designated additional Latin American gangs active across the borders, including MS-13 and Venezuela's Tren de Aragua.
Mexican cartels often choose to work with naturalized citizens who maintain deep ties to these foreign FTOs while possessing the full legal rights and benefits conferred by American citizenship. Recent prominent cases include naturalized citizen Julio Cesar Orozco-Gomez, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2025 for running a multi-state drug ring directly linked to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).
Summary:
By amending 18 U.S.C. § 2339A and 18 U.S.C. § 2339B dealing with providing material support to terrorist groups, the bill will void the certificate of naturalization of any naturalized U.S. citizen convicted by a U.S. court of providing support, training, or assistance to terrorists or designated FTOs, resulting in their citizenship being revoked. American citizenship should not be used as a shield by a naturalized citizen who pledged allegiance to the United States but uses that privilege to commit or support terrorism against our homeland.

"As someone who educates healthcare content creators on ways to use social media to inform the public about health information, I was excited to share my work with legislators. They listened and were curious about the need for healthcare content creators to feel protected and supported while countering health misinformation online. They also validated the need for more formal education when helping younger content creators to navigate this industry safely and under the supervision of parents and caretakers in order to prevent negative outcomes. I felt hopeful about the future of the creator economy after this event. Creators are entitled to safe workplaces where they feel protected, respected and valued. This event gave me the reassurance that one day creator workplaces will be recognized as being just as valuable and essential as traditional workplaces." – Dr. Judith Fiona Joseph, M.D., M.B.A

Reps. Van Duyne, Clarke, and Foushee Introduce Bipartisan CREATOR Act to Protect Creators with Visual Artistic Protections
Position: The representatives introduce legislation to establish federal protections for visual artists against unauthorized commercial use of AI-generated works that stylistically impersonate their art, framing this as necessary to protect creators' livelihoods and intellectual property rights in the age of artificial intelligence.
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Representatives Beth Van Duyne (R-TX), Yvette D. Clarke (D-NY), and Valerie Foushee (D-NC) announce the introduction of the Creative Rights Ensuring Artists' Technique and Originality Are Reserved (CREATOR) Act, legislation designed to safeguard visual artists from the unauthorized commercial exploitation of their unique and creative artistic styles in the age of artificial intelligence (AI).
The CREATOR Act reflects the Congressional Creators Caucus' broader mission to support creators and to foster policies that promote innovation while protecting intellectual property rights, economic opportunity, and overall creativity. Specifically, the legislation would establish a new federal right that protects visual artists from the unauthorized commercial use and public distribution of AI-generated works that constitute a stylistic impersonation of their art.
This legislation was inspired by creators, artists, and stakeholders engaged through the bipartisan Congressional Creators Caucus, which Rep. Van Duyne co-founded alongside Rep. Clarke, to elevate the voices of digital creators and entrepreneurs in federal policymaking.
"Since launching the Congressional Creators Caucus, I've had the privilege of hearing directly from an incredible and growing community of creators across this country," said Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne. "Artists, illustrators, and designers in every district are watching their livelihoods be undercut by AI tools deliberately impersonating them, but right now, the law has no answer for it. These are people who have spent a lifetime building their creative identity – they deserve protection. I have heard loud and clear that this is a growing problem across the industry, and the CREATOR Act is a direct response. I'm glad to be leading this bipartisan effort alongside Representatives Clarke and Foushee, taking direct aim at the bad actors who knowingly use AI to fake an artist's identity for commercial gain."
"Creators and artists have been sounding the alarm about the misuse of their work and identities by AI systems," said Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke. "As AI continues to evolve rapidly, Congress must work to ensure resources and protections are in place to support content creators in succeeding in this new era of start-ups and meet the moment. Through the Congressional Creators Caucus, we have heard directly from individuals whose livelihoods depend on their intellectual property and creative expression. The CREATOR Act is a direct response to those concerns and represents an important step toward ensuring that innovation does not come at the expense of the creators who drive it. I want to thank my colleagues for working on this bipartisan legislation and delivering on our promise to create an economy for the next generation of entrepreneurship in America."
"Creative jobs and workers must be supported as AI threatens to disrupt their livelihoods and exploit creative work. As we work to establish guardrails that protect our communities, ensuring that AI-generated content cannot deliberately replicate a visual artists' distinctive style without consent is critical to protecting artistic expression, preserving our nation's vibrancy, and advancing civil rights," said Congresswoman Valerie Foushee. "AI companies are reshaping our economy and society faster than our laws have kept pace, often without adequate transparency or accountability, and Congress must make regulating this technology a priority. I'm proud to join Representatives Beth Van Duyne and Yvette Clarke in introducing the CREATOR Act to strengthen protections for artists from AI misuse and prevent the unauthorized commercialization of AI-generated imitations of their work. I look forward to continuing to push for legislation that puts people over Big Tech."
"AI has the power to supercharge human creativity — but only if creators have rights that match the realities of the technology," said Louise Pentland, Chief Legal Officer, Adobe. "There are no existing frameworks that can defend against AI-driven style imitation, and in the age of AI, that gap leaves creators and artists increasingly vulnerable. The CREATOR Act closes that gap by establishing a federal right protecting visual artists' signature styles from intentional, commercial AI-enabled impersonation and giving creators meaningful recourse. We commend Representatives Van Duyne, Clarke, and Foushee for introducing this legislation. The artists who power America's $1.2 trillion creative economy have earned this protection, and we urge Congress to move quickly to advance this important bill."
"As an illustrator, my identity and career come from years of dedication to my craft derived from personal experience. With my podcast, I amplified Latinx artists who have likewise spent years building their own inimitable style. When AI is used to replicate work without consent, it's so much more damaging than just copying an image; it's profiting unfairly off of someone else's creative vision, skill, and dedication. The CREATOR Act would give artists like me a real legal right to protect our work, and I'm proud to support it," said Fabiola Lara, Philadelphia-based Illustrator.
"For the past 10 years, I've worked to build a creative style and visual identity that reflects my story, perspective, and lived experience as a photographer and multimedia artist. My work is deeply personal to who I am and how I connect with others. Seeing AI systems replicate the work and likeness of creators without consent is terrifying, especially for independent artists whose creativity is directly tied to their livelihood. The CREATOR Act is an important step toward giving creators legal protection and accountability when AI is used to imitate or profit from our work without permission. I'm proud to support the CREATOR Act and grateful to Representatives Beth Van Duyne, Yvette Clarke, and Valerie Foushee for championing legislation that helps protect the future of creative work," said Alexsey Reyes, Houston-based photographer and multimedia artist.
"AI can now mimic a photographer's visual identity with alarming precision, and the law has not kept pace. The CREATOR Act would give visual artists a layer of protection they've needed for a long time. I've been part of the Content Authenticity Initiative since its inception, and to me, this legislation is a critical next step in making that work matter in the real world," said Andrew Scrivani, D.C.-based photographer, author, and multimedia artist.
"The Graphic Artists Guild applauds Representatives Beth Van Duyne and Yvette D. Clark for their efforts to protect the rights of artists, illustrators, designers, and other creators as artificial intelligence technologies become increasingly integrated into creative industries. Artists deserve meaningful protections against the unauthorized use and exploitation of their distinctive styles, and they should have clear avenues for recourse when bad actors misuse generative AI systems to imitate or profit from their work without consent," said Rachel Sheeran, Advocacy Co-Chair, The Graphic Artists Guild.
"BSA commends Representatives Van Duyne and Clarke for their work and introduction of the CREATOR Act to support America's visual artist communities. The legislation is an important step in the broader effort to protect visual artists from the intentional dissemination and sale of AI-generated outputs that unfairly compete and mislead the public," said Aaron Cooper, Senior Vice President, Global Policy, Business Software Alliance (BSA).
"The PLUS Coalition commends Representatives Van Duyne and Clarke for their bipartisan leadership in advancing protections and accountabilities as generative AI becomes increasingly integrated into creative, educational, cultural, research, and commercial industries. Their efforts recognize the need to balance innovation with meaningful safeguards and clarified boundaries for the broad ecosystem of stakeholders who create, preserve, manage, license, and rely on creative content. As AI technologies continue to evolve, stakeholders will benefit from readily apparent guardrails supporting informed decisions about the use of creative works, styles, identities, and intellectual assets; meaningful protections against unauthorized exploitation; and effective mechanisms to address misuse when it occurs. Fostering trust in the digital ecosystem is essential to sustaining a vibrant and innovative creative economy," said Professor Jeffrey Sedlik, President, PLUS Coalition.

Van Duyne Introduces the Healthcare Freedom and Fairness Act to Vastly Expand Access and Options for Healthcare Coverage
Position: Rep. Van Duyne supports reforming ERISA regulations to allow small businesses, self-employed individuals, and underinsured Americans to form nationwide risk pools and negotiate directly with insurers, positioning this as a market-driven alternative to the ACA marketplace.
Washington, D.C. – As healthcare and insurance costs continue to rise causing more Americans to go without needed care, Rep. Van Duyne introduced new legislation to eliminate Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) regulations that prevent more people from participating in healthcare marketplace pools to secure coverage for their families or employees. The Healthcare Freedom and Fairness Act empowers small businesses, the self-employed, and underinsured Americans to form massive nationwide risk pools. This broader availability of participation will allow new marketplace pools to bypass present insurance barriers and negotiate directly with health insurance companies for lower premiums and superior coverage.
By reforming ERISA – the federal law governing employee benefits – the bill removes constraints put in place under Obamacare and levels the marketplace playing field long tilted in favor of corporations. It allows independent workers and small shops to wield the same massive purchasing power as the government, labor unions, and Fortune 500 companies.
"Due to the ongoing failure of Obamacare coupled with healthcare monopolies and artificial barriers for healthcare innovation, hard-working families and small businesses continue to pay the price for limited healthcare options with skyrocketing premiums," said Rep. Van Duyne. "This legislation is about delivering common-sense reforms to strip away unnecessarily restrictive federal regulations and create the conditions for more Americans to have access to truly affordable, high-quality healthcare coverage. Through the Healthcare Freedom and Fairness Act we are finally breaking down regulatory barriers and giving the self-employed, Main Street businesses, and other individuals the collective bargaining power they deserve to command a better deal from insurance companies."
Reforming ERISA provides a direct, market-driven alternative to the shortcomings of the ACA marketplace:

Reps. Van Duyne and Suozzi introduce the Recover COVID Unemployment Fraud in Banks Act to recoup nearly $1B in frozen Unemployment Insurance (UI) funds
Position: The release advocates for legislation to establish a federal taskforce to recover nearly $1 billion in COVID-era unemployment insurance funds held by financial institutions that were obtained through fraud, and to extend the statute of limitations for prosecuting pandemic unemployment fraud from 5 to 10 years.
Washington, D.C. – Reps. Van Duyne (R-TX-24) and Suozzi (D-NY-3) introduced H.R. 8873, the Recover COVID Unemployment Fraud in Banks Act to provide a pathway for banks to return frozen funds to state workforce agencies and to report to Congress on the status of the recovery of those funds. A recent investigation by the Department of Labor Inspector General (DOL-OIG) found nearly $1 billion in COVID-era UI funds tied to fraud being held by financial institutions. Some of these accounts have been left "forgotten" by state workforce agencies, unreconciled, and in some cases transferred by banks to state unclaimed property due to inactivity. Without Congressional action, hundreds of millions in funds may go unclovered.
The Recover COVID Unemployment Fraud in Banks Act establishes a federal taskforce, led by a National Recovery Coordinator, to coordinate with applicable state agencies to identify federal pandemic UI payments issued on prepaid debit cards held by financial institutions or transferred to state agencies responsible for unclaimed property. Requires the taskforce to develop model processes that facilitate cost-effective recovery of payments and return them to the federal government. Also extends the statute of limitations for criminal prosecution and civil enforcement actions in pandemic unemployment programs from 5 to 10 years to provide law enforcement agencies more time to hold fraudsters accountable.
"During a time of an unprecedented pandemic, Congress worked tirelessly to support and stabilize tens of millions of Americans affected by businesses being shut down and job losses. Fraudsters exploited that moment of crisis to steal hundreds of millions of dollars from the American people and commit rampant identity theft" said Congresswoman Van Duyne. "The Recover COVID Unemployment Fraud in Banks Act is a bipartisan solution to help recover these funds by providing a pathway to return funds to the federal government. It is not too late – but Congress must act swiftly to prevent hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars from going unrecovered and ensure fraudsters are held accountable before they harm more Americans."
"We need to root out waste, fraud, and abuse at every level of our government. Members of Congress have a duty to protect victims of fraud and identity theft, who are most often senior citizens, and make sure bad actors don't get away with preying on them," said Congressman Suozzi. "This bipartisan bill is a great step forward in helping recover stolen funds, strengthening protections for victims, and providing stronger tools for states and financial institutions to crack down on fraud before more Americans are harmed."
The Recover COVID Unemployment Fraud in Banks Act is supported by Strategic Services on Unemployment & Workers Compensation (UWC), the US Chamber of Commerce, the Taxpayers Protection Alliance, and the National Association of State Workforce Agencies.

Van Duyne Introduces the Protecting Seniors and Stopping Fraudsters Act to Enact Mandatory Oversight Requirements to Combat Hospice and Home Healthcare Fraud
Position: Rep. Van Duyne introduced legislation to strengthen Medicare oversight of hospice and home health providers through enhanced enrollment screening, more frequent inspections of new and suspicious providers, stronger accreditation standards, and increased transparency in enforcement activities to combat fraud.
Washington, D.C. – Since 2023, Rep. Van Duyne (TX-24) has been a recognized leader on the issue of exposing and stopping hospice and home healthcare fraud that steals billions of taxpayer dollars, weakens the Medicare program for American citizens, and harms seniors across the country when they are at their most vulnerable and in need of quality care. As the Trump Administration continues investigations and suspension of licenses of hundreds of fraudulent care providers across the country, Rep. Van Duyne introduced new legislation, the Protecting Seniors and Stopping Fraudsters Act, to strengthen Medicare oversight, crack down on bad actors, protect seniors from fraudulent enrollments, and improve accountability across the hospice and home health system.
"Every single dollar stolen by criminals from Medicare is a dollar ripped away from a vulnerable senior who is just trying to spend their final days in comfort, peace, and dignity. Americans are disgusted by the heartless actions of scammers treating these vital lifelines as personal ATMs and demand reforms to stop these criminals before they can steal precious taxpayer dollars, thereby further weakening the Medicare system," said Rep. Van Duyne. "My bill takes a proactive approach to stop fraud by strengthening oversight of high-risk hospice programs and home health agencies through enhanced enrollment screening, mandating more frequent surveys for new and suspicious providers, establishing stronger accreditation standards, and increasing transparency around enforcement activities. The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services needs and deserves these measures to fight the continued exploitation of services our seniors rely on."
"The National Alliance for Care at Home (the Alliance) appreciates Rep. Van Duyne for her leadership in advancing targeted, data-driven program integrity solutions for Medicare home health and hospice. The Alliance supports the Protecting Seniors and Stopping Fraudsters Act, which utilizes targeted metrics to eliminate bad actors from the Medicare hospice and home health systems. This legislation has the potential to reduce the burden on legitimate providers, and ensure that bad actors cannot exploit the trust that beneficiaries place in our federal programs.
The Alliance looks forward to continuing to collaborate on these reforms, including seeking a positive resolution to the overly broad national enrollment moratorium on new home health and hospice providers, which poses risks to legitimate providers and patient access. We will continue to work together with lawmakers to preserve and strengthen access to high-quality care in the home for the Americans who depend on it most." - Jennifer Sheets, Chief Executive Officer, National Alliance for Care at Home
This legislation is a targeted Medicare program integrity package focused on cracking down on hospice and home health fraud while protecting legitimate providers and patient access. The bill is designed to move Medicare oversight from a reactive model to a proactive one by identifying bad actors earlier, particularly in geographic hotspots where provider growth far exceeds patient growth. It targets providers with aberrant billing, discharge, enrollment, or low-quality reporting patterns rather than imposing blanket burdens across the industry.
Increased survey frequency for newly enrolled hospices and home health agencies, providers with ownership changes, or providers displaying signs of fraudulent behavior.
Enhanced screening requirements for providers deemed at "extreme risk" of fraud, including fingerprinting administrators and medical directors and requiring proof of liability insurance.
Greater accountability for accrediting organizations through standardized survey training requirements.
New beneficiary notification requirements to ensure seniors know when they have been enrolled in hospice and understand how to disenroll if fraud or abuse occurs.
Annual reporting to Congress on CMS program integrity activities, enforcement actions, fraud trends, and efforts to reduce unnecessary administrative burden on legitimate providers.
