What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "Make Congress Drive Union-Made Act," aims to restrict how Members of Congress use their official funds. It prohibits Representatives and Senators from using their allowances to purchase or lease motor vehicles that do not meet specific criteria. To be eligible, a vehicle must have its final assembly located in the United States. Additionally, the vehicle must be assembled by employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement. These changes are intended to apply to both House and Senate official accounts. The restrictions are set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
