One Bill, One Subject Transparency Act

Increased Transparency: The bill requires the subject of a bill to be clearly and descriptively expressed in the title (Section 2(b)), which helps people understand exactly what a law is about.

Prevention of Unrelated Laws in Funding Bills: Appropriation bills cannot include general legislation or changes to existing law that aren't related to the bill's main topic (Section 2(c)), which prevents unrelated rules from being tucked into spending bills.

Legal Accountability: Any person or Member of Congress who is aggrieved by a law that doesn't follow these rules can sue the United States for relief, such as an injunction (Section 3(e)).

Clear Judicial Review: In legal actions regarding these rules, the court will use a de novo standard of review (Section 3(f)).

Risk of Lawlessness Due to Title Errors: If a title addresses two or more unrelated subjects, the entire Act or joint resolution is considered void (Section 3(a)).

Loss of Specific Provisions: If a law contains provisions that aren't clearly and descriptively expressed in the title, those specific provisions will be void (Section 3(b)).

Loss of Funding Provisions: If an appropriation bill includes a provision that falls outside the jurisdiction of the relevant subcommittee, that provision will be void (Section 3(c)).

Removal of Non-Germane Legislation: Any general legislation or change of law in an appropriation bill that is not germane to the subject matter will be void (Section 3(d)).
