Why This Bill Matters
For too long, Congress has passed massive omnibus bills that bundle dozens of unrelated issues together. This hides controversial provisions, reduces accountability, and makes it nearly impossible for Americans to know what their representatives are voting on.
The One Bill, One Subject Transparency Act would:
- End the bundling of unrelated pork and special-interest giveaways
- Force every bill to focus on one clear subject
- Make it easier for the public to hold Congress accountable
- Restore transparency and trust in governmentThis common-sense rule already exists in nearly every state — it’s time Congress followed it.
Key Provisions
- Every bill may address only one subject
- The subject must be clearly expressed in the title
