One Subject at a Time Act

What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill says that every bill or joint resolution in Congress can only cover one subject, and that subject must be clearly described in its title. If a law is passed that covers two or more unrelated subjects, the entire law would be canceled, and if specific parts of a law don't follow this rule, those parts would be canceled. The bill also says that appropriations (spending) bills cannot include unrelated changes to existing law. Anyone who is negatively affected by a law that was passed without following these rules would be allowed to sue the United States government.
