The Honest Bottom Line
Clinton Surpluses · Trump OBBBA · NSRA 2028
Three frameworks, three outcomes. Clinton started with a $290B deficit and closed it in 6 years, but the dot-com boom contributed an estimated 25–35% of that improvement in unexpected capital gains windfalls. The NSRA starts with a $1.9T deficit, 6.5× Clinton's challenge, with no tech boom at its back. Yet it generates $554B/yr in absolute deficit reduction, nearly 10× Clinton's $60B/yr average in absolute dollars, while simultaneously delivering universal healthcare, pharmaceutical relief, and a household dividend that Clinton never offered. Pathway to balanced budget within a single presidential term, Year 4 central estimate (range Yr 3–5). And unlike the OBBBA, the alternative to NSRA isn't "6 years." It's never.

The American Deal
Not borrowed. Earned. Built to last.
"Your drug bills are getting cut, by law. Every uninsured American gets real coverage at zero premium. Your student loan interest goes to zero. Your local hospital is protected from Wall Street. A $5,000 account opens the day your child is born. And the debt that has been compounding against your family's future for thirty years starts getting paid down, permanently, from revenue this country was already generating and never collected. No new taxes on working people. No borrowing. No waiting for a check that may never come. This is structural relief, and it starts the day this bill is signed. That is the American Deal."

Very High NSRA ImpactHigh NSRA ImpactModerate NSRA ImpactBaseline NSRA Impact
Strongest as one Act, built to pass, and survive, in pieces
A common first reaction to 36 titles is “no single bill can do all of this.” Two things are true at once. As one Act, the provisions reinforce each other, revenue funds benefits, safeguards protect the revenue, and the whole is self-funding by design. And it is deliberately not all-or-nothing, in two distinct ways: for passage, the 36 titles are organized into five coordinated bills, each self-funding and constitutionally grounded on its own, so if some pass and others stall, Americans still get major wins; and for durability, a severability clause (Sec. 205) keeps the rest of the Act in full force if a court strikes any single title. Individual titles are not all independently operable, some stand alone, others must travel with their funding or enforcement (the Amendment & Dependency tool maps which). Strongest as one Act; built to pass, and survive, in pieces.
Revenue funds benefits
Enforcement revenue, offshore recovery, G7 pharmaceutical parity, structural penalties, directly capitalizes the household benefits. No new broad-based taxes, no borrowing. Revenue titles and the benefits they fund are drafted to travel together.
Anti-corruption protects implementation
The congressional stock ban, emoluments enforcement, and citizen-bounty provisions keep the revenue-and-benefit machinery from being captured, diverted, or quietly repealed. Safeguards are what make the rest durable.
Industrial policy serves fiscal & security goals
Semiconductors, reshoring, and sovereign compute rebuild the domestic tax base and the national-security base at the same time. One appropriation, two returns.
Household relief lowers structural cost
Universal baseline coverage and drug-price parity cut the uncompensated-care and public-health costs that otherwise drag on federal and state budgets, the benefit pays part of its own way.
Sovereign infrastructure creates durable revenue
The Sovereign Infrastructure & Resilience Fund and public infrastructure generate returns that outlast the initial appropriation, converting one-time spending into a recurring public asset.
Fiscal controls prevent new deficits
CBO certification gates, the SIRF floor, and revenue-threshold triggers ensure benefits never activate faster than the revenue that funds them, the structure stays deficit-neutral by design.
Stronger together, built to pass, and survive, in pieces. Passed as one Act, the revenue funds the benefits and the structure is self-funding by design. It is still not hostage to any single vote or ruling: for passage, the agenda moves as five coordinated bills, each able to advance and deliver on its own and fund the next; for durability, Section 205 ensures that a court striking one title leaves the rest standing, with a fallback appropriation protecting first-tier household benefits. At the individual-title level, dependencies are explicit, some titles stand alone, others must travel with their funding or enforcement. The integration is the ideal; the five-bill packaging and severability are the insurance.

TITLE XXIV — SOVEREIGN TAX CODE REFORM AND FISCAL INTEGRITY ACT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 2401. FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF FISCAL SOVEREIGNTY.
Congress finds and declares the following:
(1) The concentration of tax advantages in the leveraged acquisition and private equity industries distorts capital allocation away from productive domestic investment, contributes to the debt-loading of productive enterprises, and creates a structural subsidy for financial engineering over manufacturing and employment-generating investment.
(2) The differential taxation of carried interest income at capital gains rates rather than ordinary income rates creates a structural inequity in which financial managers pay lower marginal tax rates than the wage earners whose labor generates the returns being managed, with no statutory justification grounded in investment risk or capital formation necessity.
(3) The systematic underfunding of IRS enforcement capacity has produced an annual tax gap — the difference between taxes legally owed and taxes actually collected — in excess of six hundred billion dollars ($600,000,000,000), representing the largest avoidable source of fiscal imbalance in the federal budget.
(4) The provisions of this Title are fiscal instruments only, designed to recover revenue legally owed under existing tax law, close structural tax code inequities, and fund the IRS enforcement capacity necessary to collect taxes that current law already requires.
SEC. 2402. CARRIED INTEREST — ORDINARY INCOME TREATMENT.
(a) AMENDMENT TO IRC § 1061.—Section 1061 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended to provide that any amount includible in the gross income of a taxpayer in connection with an applicable partnership interest — as defined in 26 U.S.C. § 1061(c) — shall be treated as ordinary income subject to the applicable marginal income tax rate under 26 U.S.C. § 1, regardless of the character of the underlying gain at the partnership level.
(b) NO HOLDING PERIOD EXCEPTION.—The three-year holding period exception to recharacterization under 26 U.S.C. § 1061(b) is hereby repealed. All carried interest allocations, regardless of holding period, shall be treated as ordinary income.
(c) EFFECTIVE DATE.—The amendments in this Section shall apply to taxable years beginning after the date of enactment.
(d) PROJECTED REVENUE.—The Congressional Budget Office shall score the revenue impact of this Section within sixty (60) days of enactment. Based on existing JCT and CBO analysis, annual revenue is projected at not less than fourteen billion dollars ($14,000,000,000) per year.
(e) REVENUE ALLOCATION.—Fifty percent (50%) of net revenue attributable to the amendments in this Section shall be deposited into the SIRF Vanguard Capitalization Node to fund small business and cooperative development as a direct reinvestment of capital formerly subsidized through the tax code differential.
SEC. 2403. LBO INTEREST DEDUCTIBILITY CAP.
(a) AMENDMENT TO IRC § 163(j).—Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended to establish that, for any Covered Entity as defined in Section 003 of this Act, the deductibility of interest expense on acquisition indebtedness — defined as any debt incurred in connection with the acquisition of a controlling interest in another entity within the preceding seven (7) years — shall be capped at thirty percent (30%) of the entity's adjusted taxable income as measured by earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA).
(b) ANTI-ABUSE PROVISION.—The FMIA and the Internal Revenue Service shall jointly promulgate regulations within one hundred eighty (180) days of enactment to prevent the circumvention of the cap through debt restructuring, intercompany loan arrangements, or offshore financing structures.
(c) EFFECTIVE DATE.—The amendments in this Section shall apply to interest expense on acquisition indebtedness incurred after the date of enactment. Existing acquisition debt shall be subject to a phase-in period during which the cap applies at forty percent (40%) of EBITDA for years one through three following enactment, and thirty percent (30%) thereafter.
(d) PROJECTED REVENUE.—Annual revenue from this Section is projected at not less than eighteen billion dollars ($18,000,000,000) per year upon full phase-in, consistent with existing JCT analysis of equivalent proposals.
(e) STATUTORY COHERENCE NOTE.—The interest deductibility cap in this Section directly reduces the financial incentive for the leveraged acquisitions of Critical Life-Safety Systems prohibited under Title XXII, creating fiscal-structural alignment between the tax and ownership reform frameworks of this Act.
SEC. 2404. NATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT.
(a) ASSESSMENT ESTABLISHED.—There is established a National Infrastructure Maintenance Assessment (NIMA), structured as a user fee under the authority of IRC § 4 and analogous to the Universal Service Fund (47 U.S.C. § 254), the Airport and Airway Trust Fund (26 U.S.C. § 9502), and the Highway Trust Fund (26 U.S.C. § 9503), assessed on the domestic gross revenue of Covered Entities as defined in Section 003 of this Act with domestic gross revenue exceeding one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) in the immediately preceding fiscal year.
(b) RATE.—The NIMA rate shall be eighteen hundredths of one percent (0.18%) of domestic gross revenue above the one hundred million dollar ($100,000,000) threshold.
(c) LEGAL STRUCTURE.—The NIMA is structured as a user fee, not a tax, reflecting the direct benefit Covered Entities receive from federal infrastructure — including interstate highways, the air traffic control system, the national electrical grid, broadband infrastructure, the legal system, and the national defense establishment — that enables their domestic commercial operations. The NIMA statutory findings and fee structure are designed to satisfy the user fee requirements established in National Cable & Telecommunications Ass'n v. FCC, 567 F.3d 659 (D.C. Cir. 2009) and Texas Office of Public Utility Counsel v. FCC, 183 F.3d 393 (5th Cir. 1999).
(d) COLLECTION MECHANISM.—The NIMA shall be collected quarterly by the Internal Revenue Service through a designated line on the corporate tax return. Small businesses with domestic gross revenue below one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) are expressly exempt.
(e) REVENUE ALLOCATION.—All NIMA revenue shall be deposited into the SIRF Industrial Infrastructure Node and deployed exclusively for domestic infrastructure maintenance, repair, and modernization projects consistent with the infrastructure sovereignty mandate of this Act.
(f) PROJECTED REVENUE.—Annual NIMA revenue is projected at not less than thirty-nine billion six hundred million dollars ($39,600,000,000) based on current aggregate domestic gross revenue of Covered Entities above the threshold.
SEC. 2405. FINANCIAL TRANSACTION ASSESSMENT.
(a) ASSESSMENT ESTABLISHED.—There is established a Financial Transaction Assessment (FTA) on institutional securities trades executed within the United States, structured as a user fee reflecting the institutional use of public financial market infrastructure — including SEC-regulated exchanges, DTCC settlement systems, and federally insured financial networks.
(b) RATE AND THRESHOLD.—The FTA rate shall be two hundredths of one percent (0.02%) of the transaction value of any institutional securities trade where: (1) the individual transaction value exceeds one million dollars ($1,000,000); and (2) the executing entity has assets under management exceeding five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000).
(c) EXEMPTIONS.—The following transactions are expressly exempt from the FTA: (1) retail investor transactions of any size; (2) transactions executed within or on behalf of any 401(k), IRA, 403(b), 457, or defined benefit pension plan; (3) primary market issuances of securities; (4) transactions by registered investment advisers acting on behalf of accounts with assets under management below five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000); and (5) US Treasury securities transactions.
(d) COLLECTION MECHANISM.—The FTA shall be collected at the point of settlement through the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) settlement infrastructure on behalf of the Internal Revenue Service, utilizing existing DTCC data systems with no new collection infrastructure required.
(e) REVENUE ALLOCATION.—All FTA revenue shall be deposited into the SIRF and allocated equally between the Household Endowment Node and the Industrial Infrastructure Node.
(f) PROJECTED REVENUE.—Annual FTA revenue is projected at not less than seven billion dollars ($7,000,000,000) based on current institutional trading volume data, requiring no behavioral change from institutional investors to achieve this yield.
SEC. 2406. IRS ENFORCEMENT SOVEREIGNTY FUND.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—There is established within the Internal Revenue Service a permanent, non-lapsing appropriation to be known as the IRS Enforcement Sovereignty Fund (IESF).
(b) MANDATORY ANNUAL ALLOCATION.—There is hereby appropriated, on a standing and mandatory basis from general Treasury funds, the sum of fifteen billion dollars ($15,000,000,000) per fiscal year to the IESF. This appropriation is a standing statutory appropriation within the meaning of 31 U.S.C. § 1305 and shall not be subject to annual appropriations bills, continuing resolutions, executive orders, or administrative rescission.
(c) SUPERMAJORITY PROTECTION.—The mandatory annual allocation in subsection (b) may be reduced, suspended, or repealed only by an Act of Congress passed by a two-thirds (2/3) supermajority of the voting members of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, in a single-subject bill that explicitly names this Section.
(d) AUTHORIZED USES.—IESF funds shall be used exclusively for: (1) hiring, training, and retaining IRS examination, collection, and criminal investigation personnel; (2) technology modernization for audit selection, data analytics, and case management; (3) offshore tax shelter and foreign account investigation capacity; and (4) large corporation and high-net-worth individual examination programs.
(e) ANNUAL TAX GAP REPORTING.—The IRS shall publish annually a Tax Gap Accountability Report documenting: (1) estimated total annual tax gap; (2) enforcement actions taken; (3) revenue recovered attributable to IESF-funded enforcement; and (4) projected year-over-year gap reduction.
(f) CBO ROI VERIFICATION.—The Congressional Budget Office shall biennially certify the return on investment of IESF-funded enforcement. Based on existing CBO analysis, each dollar of IRS enforcement investment is projected to yield between five and seven dollars ($5–$7) in recovered tax revenue. The CBO shall publish updated ROI estimates biennially.
(g) REVENUE ALLOCATION.—All net revenue recovered through IESF-funded enforcement actions, above and beyond the enforcement investment, shall be deposited into the SIRF and allocated to the national debt reduction account per Section 005(d) of this Act until the federal deficit falls below four hundred billion dollars ($400,000,000,000) annually.
SEC. 2407. SPI WAGE FLOOR TAX CREDIT — PHASE 2 ACTIVATION.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—There is established a Sovereign Productivity Index Wage Floor Tax Credit (SPI-WFTC) available to Covered Entities that pay all domestic employees wages at or above the Sovereign Productivity Index wage floor published quarterly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
(b) CREDIT RATE.—Covered Entities meeting the SPI wage floor threshold shall receive a tax credit equal to seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of total domestic payroll costs for employees paid at or above the SPI wage floor, applied against corporate income tax liability.
(c) PHASE 2 ACTIVATION.—The SPI-WFTC shall not activate until Phase 2 of the Household Structural Relief Node deployment, as certified by the CBO under Section 005 of this Act and the Phase Gate conditions in Schedule E. The cost of the SPI-WFTC is projected at eight to twelve billion dollars ($8,000,000,000–$12,000,000,000) per year, generating positive net fiscal return by Year 4 through reduced public assistance expenditure as household incomes rise above program thresholds.
(d) SCHEDULE D BENCHMARKS — TITLE XXIV.—The FMIA shall report biennially on: (1) annual tax gap reduction attributable to IESF; (2) NIMA and FTA revenue collected versus projection; (3) number of Covered Entities qualifying for SPI-WFTC and associated wage increases.

SEC. 001. SHORT TITLE; TABLE OF CONTENTS.
(a) SHORT TITLE.—This Act may be cited as the "National Sovereignty and Resilience Act of 2028" or the "NSRA."
(b) FINDINGS OF BROAD NATIONAL CONSENSUS.—Congress finds that the provisions of this Act reflect policy areas of documented bipartisan concern, including: domestic manufacturing competitiveness, pharmaceutical pricing fairness, housing affordability, retirement security, food supply-chain resilience, infrastructure investment, and protection of taxpayer-funded research from foreign extraction. (c) SCOPE OF ACT.—This Act comprises thirty-six (36) titles, numbered Title I through Title XXXVI, together with the supporting Schedules A through G, and contains the complete statutory text, definitions, mechanisms, and enforcement architecture of the National Sovereignty and Resilience Act. The subject matter of this Act falls within the jurisdiction of twenty-seven (27) standing committees of jurisdiction across both chambers of Congress — fourteen (14) committees of the House of Representatives and thirteen (13) committees of the Senate — and the sponsors anticipate multiple, sequential, or joint referral consistent with House Rule X and Senate Rule XXV.
SEC. 002. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF MATERIAL CONDITIONS REVIEW STANDARD.
The Congress finds and declares the following:
(1) The legacy economic, technological, and infrastructural architectures of the United States have fallen into advanced systemic fragility due to over-reliance on international wage arbitrage, unmitigated capital offshoring, and the speculative financialization of foundational human assets such as shelter, food, and knowledge.
(2) Effective national policy requires rigorous accounting for structural, systemic, and material conditions — including historical capital allocation, infrastructure access, and labor market dynamics — as primary causal variables alongside individual factors when evaluating economic outcomes and designing federal programs. Policy frameworks that omit structural causation variables from their analytical models produce systematically inaccurate results and inefficient resource allocation.
(3) The preservation of United States sovereignty requires the immediate implementation of a self-capitalizing, anti-fragile domestic production network driven by mechanical triggers, strict corporate liability, and an unbreakable baseline of physical, computational, and cognitive protections for the citizenry.
(4) The measures contained herein are grounded in the Commerce Clause (Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 3), the Spending Clause (Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 1), the Necessary and Proper Clause (Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 18), and the General Welfare Clause, and are designed to withstand constitutional review under current doctrines including West Virginia v. EPA (2022), Gundy v. United States (2019), and TransUnion LLC v. Ramirez (2021).
(5) The provisions of this Act are designed to produce measurable, quantifiable economic returns to the American public, including projected reductions in household pharmaceutical expenditure, shelter costs, energy costs, and student debt burden that shall be independently verified by the Congressional Budget Office on a biennial basis.
SEC. 003. CONSOLIDATED MASTER DEFINITIONS.
As used in this Act:
(1) ASYMMETRIC CAPITAL FLIGHT.—Any transaction, multi-jurisdictional transfer, currency swap, or corporate restructuring executed by a Covered Entity that results in a net reduction of domestic liquid capital assets or productive capacity exceeding five percent (5%) within a rolling fourteen (14) day window, where such action is executed during an active Federal Data Veracity Matrix (FDVM) structural variance investigation.
(2) PERSONAL DATA RIGHTS.—The absolute, unalienable, and legally protected right of human individuals and sovereign community cohorts to maintain autonomous mental, analytical, and informational autonomy over their own circumstances, completely insulated from uncompensated algorithmic data harvesting, predictive behavioral profiling, or narrative-driven platform reframing.
(3) COVERED ENTITY.—Any corporate enterprise, financial institution, banking conglomerate, investment trust, joint venture, parent corporation, or subsidiary operating within the jurisdiction of the United States that has a consolidated global gross revenue exceeding fifty million dollars ($50,000,000) for the immediate preceding fiscal year. Small businesses, as defined under the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. § 632), with annual revenues below $10,000,000 are expressly exempt from all Covered Entity obligations under this Act unless otherwise specified.
(4) INFRASTRUCTURE SOVEREIGNTY.—The un-delegated, absolute material and administrative control by the federal government over critical domestic supply channels, telecommunications pipelines, data repositories, advanced manufacturing foundries, and energy generation assets.
(5) JOINTLY LIABLE SOVEREIGN COHORT.—A consolidated corporate grouping wherein all parent organizations, global subsidiaries, special purpose vehicles, and offshore shell entities are adjudicated as a single, undivided legal entity for the purposes of evaluating structural variance liabilities, strict liability clawbacks, asset forfeitures, and anti-evasion penalties.
(6) UNCOMPENSATED COMMERCIAL DATA USE.—The uncompensated extraction, curation, or deployment of community-generated data, labor metrics, or sociological outputs stripped of their structural and historical context to design or justify the reduction of public infrastructure safety nets, asset endowments, or socio-economic rights.
(7) MATERIAL CONDITIONS REVIEW STANDARD.—The governing evidentiary standard under this Act, which requires that material baseline conditions, historical context, and resource distribution channels be fully accounted for as primary causal variables when evaluating social and economic variances. Policy models that omit these variables produce inaccurate assessments and are insufficient bases for federal enforcement or resource allocation decisions.
(8) SYSTEMIC RESILIENCE.—The mandatory, independent operational capacity of the United States corporate, technological, material, food supply, and civil infrastructures to withstand acute geopolitical, environmental, or macroeconomic shocks and maintain continuous domestic liquidity and supply chain functionality without external intervention.
(9) VERIFIED STRUCTURAL VARIANCE.—Any objective, statistically significant deviation from established material baseline conditions—exceeding the fixed technical thresholds enumerated in this Act—as monitored, recorded, and verified via the Federal Data Veracity Matrix.
(10) VANGUARD ENTITY.—Any domestic small business, worker cooperative, community development financial institution (CDFI), or certified Minority Business Enterprise with annual revenues below twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000) that qualifies for zero-equity capitalization grants under the Vanguard Capitalization Protocol established in Title II.
(11) STRUCTURAL RENT BASELINE.—The median gross rent within a given Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), adjusted quarterly to the Sovereign Productivity Index, representing the fair-market rental cost ceiling above which institutional concentration is deemed to produce a cognizable housing sovereignty injury.
(12) SOVEREIGN PRODUCTIVITY INDEX (SPI).—The macroeconomic baseline metric measuring real domestic material output, agricultural production capacity, gigawatt-hour efficiency, and computational processing velocity, published quarterly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and used to index all mandatory wage and compensation floors under this Act.
(13) BASIC MINIMUM PLAN (BMP).—The federally defined floor health benefit package established under Title XXI of this Act, which every licensed health insurance carrier operating in the United States is required to offer as a condition of licensure, funded by the federal government at a risk-adjusted per-capita premium rate paid directly to the carrier of each individual's choosing, at zero cost to the enrolled individual.
(14) HEALTH SOVEREIGNTY FUND (HSF).—The permanent non-lapsing statutory trust fund established in the Treasury of the United States under Section 2103(d) of this Act, from which all Basic Minimum Plan premium payments to private carriers are disbursed, capitalized through the consolidation of existing federal health program expenditures, pharmaceutical savings generated by Title XIII, the Health Profit Sovereignty Assessment on excess insurer margins, and mandatory SIRF Biosecurity Node transfers.
(15) HEALTH PROFIT SOVEREIGNTY ASSESSMENT.—The mandatory levy assessed against any licensed health insurance carrier whose medical loss ratio falls below eighty-five percent (85%) in any calendar year, equal to one hundred percent (100%) of premium revenue retained above the fifteen percent (15%) overhead and profit ceiling, collected automatically and routed to the Health Sovereignty Fund.
(16) AMERICAN PRODUCTIVITY DIVIDEND (HSRN).—The monthly capitalization transfer established under Section 502 of this Act, disbursed from the SIRF Household Endowment Node to every eligible United States resident household at zero premium or means-test condition, calculated by the household composition formula in Section 502(c) and indexed annually to the Sovereign Productivity Index.
SEC. 004. MANDATORY TRIGGER PARAMETERS — CONGRESSIONAL SPECIFICATION.
(a) STATUTORY FLOOR VALUES.—The following base-level trigger parameters are hereby established by Congress and shall not be modified by agency rulemaking except as provided in subsection (b):
(1) FEDERAL DATA VERACITY MATRIX (FDVM) — TITLE I.—Structural variance threshold: Any data deviation exceeding fifteen percent (15%) from the prior 36-month rolling baseline, as computed by the FDVM algorithm embedded in Schedule A of this Act, shall constitute an automatic reportable variance requiring mandatory agency review within thirty (30) calendar days.
(2) SIRF CLAWBACK TRIGGERS — TITLE II.—Penalty diversion threshold: Any structural-variance penalty exceeding five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) per enforcement action shall be mechanically redirected to the Sovereign Infrastructure Reinvestment Fund (SIRF) via the standing statutory appropriation established in Title II, without agency discretion.
(3) BOUNTY ENGINE THRESHOLDS — TITLE IV.—Domestic sourcing floor: No sovereign contract issued under Title IV shall contain less than sixty-five percent (65%) domestically sourced material by contract value, as measured against the Domestic Content Index published quarterly by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
(b) MINISTERIAL CALIBRATION ONLY.—Agencies may adjust the parameters specified in subsection (a) within a narrow calibration band not exceeding plus or minus five percent (±5%) of the statutory floor value, solely for administrative implementation purposes. Any adjustment exceeding this band requires an Act of Congress.
(c) INTELLIGIBLE PRINCIPLE STATEMENT AND SECTOR ENUMERATION.—Congress hereby declares the intelligible principle governing all NSRA mechanical triggers: Federal policy shall respond to objective, quantifiable deviations from material baseline conditions at the lowest threshold that produces a statistically significant causal relationship between structural variance and systemic harm, as defined in Schedule B of this Act.
(c-1) ENUMERATED SECTOR JURISDICTION.—To satisfy the major-questions doctrine as articulated in West Virginia v. EPA, 597 U.S. 697 (2022), the FMIA's automatic enforcement authority under this Act is expressly limited to the following enumerated sectors of significant federal interest:
(1) Pharmaceutical and biomedical manufacturing entities subject to FDA jurisdiction;
(2) Food and agricultural distribution entities subject to USDA jurisdiction;
(3) Financial institutions subject to federal banking, securities, or commodities regulation;
(4) Defense contractors and subcontractors receiving federal funds exceeding ten million dollars ($10,000,000) annually;
(5) Healthcare providers receiving Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement;
(6) Corporate entities subject to IRS jurisdiction under this Act's revenue provisions; and
(7) Critical infrastructure operators as designated under 42 U.S.C. § 5195c.
Enforcement actions affecting economic sectors outside these enumerated categories shall require affirmative agency rulemaking with notice-and-comment procedures under 5 U.S.C. § 553 before any structural variance trigger may activate.
(d) BIENNIAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW.—The Congressional Budget Office, in coordination with the Government Accountability Office, shall publish a biennial Sovereign Resilience Impact Report evaluating each Title of this Act against the performance benchmarks established in Schedule D, including quantified household-level economic impacts. If any Title fails to demonstrate measurable improvement in its target domain over two consecutive biennial review cycles, Congress shall convene an automatic Joint Legislative Review Committee within ninety (90) days.
(e) SMALL BUSINESS IMPACT MITIGATION.—Prior to any enforcement action against a domestic business with annual revenues between ten million dollars ($10,000,000) and fifty million dollars ($50,000,000), the FMIA shall provide a mandatory sixty (60) day technical assistance period, during which the Small Business Administration shall provide no-cost compliance consulting.
SEC. 005. DEFICIT NEUTRALITY CERTIFICATION AND REVENUE SUFFICIENCY MANDATE.
(a) CBO CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENT.—No Title of this Act that authorizes mandatory SIRF disbursements exceeding five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000) in any single fiscal year shall be deployed nationally until the Congressional Budget Office certifies, in a formal cost estimate published in the Federal Register, that the projected SIRF revenue from the combined penalty, assessment, premium, and clawback mechanisms of this Act is sufficient to fund the disbursement without recourse to new deficit financing. Certification shall be based on a rolling five-year projection window.
(b) REVENUE SUFFICIENCY TRIGGER.—If at any point the FMIA determines, based on verified SIRF cash-flow data, that SIRF balances are insufficient to sustain authorized disbursements for the following twelve (12) months at current deployment rates, the FMIA shall within thirty (30) calendar days:
(1) Reduce all per-household Household Structural Relief Node disbursements on a pro-rata basis to match available SIRF revenue, maintaining equal percentage reductions across all recipient households; and
(2) Transmit a Revenue Sufficiency Alert to the Bipartisan Commission on NSRA Implementation and to both Budget Committees of Congress, triggering a mandatory sixty (60) day joint legislative review.
(c) NO NEW DEFICIT AUTHORIZATION.—Nothing in this Act shall be construed to authorize any net increase in the federal deficit attributable to SIRF disbursements. The fallback general appropriation established in Section 205(b) shall be available only for continuity during judicially-suspended operations and shall not serve as a mechanism to fund SIRF programs that have not achieved CBO revenue sufficiency certification.
(d) SURPLUS REINVESTMENT REQUIREMENT.—Any SIRF balance exceeding one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the projected twelve-month disbursement obligation shall be automatically transferred to the national debt reduction account of the Treasury of the United States, demonstrating that this Act is a net fiscal tightening instrument, not a deficit expansion mechanism.
(e) NEW PENALTY CATEGORY CERTIFICATION GATE.—For any enforcement penalty category projected by the FMIA to generate more than ten billion dollars ($10,000,000,000) annually that was not individually enumerated as a SIRF revenue source in this Act at the time of enactment, the automatic SIRF routing established in Section 201(b)(2) shall not take effect for that category until Congress passes an affirmative Revenue Category Certification Resolution within one hundred eighty (180) days of the FMIA's initial collection report. The Resolution shall require only a simple majority vote in both chambers and shall not be subject to filibuster. If Congress fails to act within the 180-day window, the revenue shall route to the Treasury general fund pending a subsequent Resolution. This gate preserves the Appropriations Clause integrity of the automatic routing mechanism while ensuring congressional accountability for novel revenue categories of significant scale.
SEC. 005A. TRANCHE-BASED ESCALATION LOCK — IMMEDIATE CITIZEN RELIEF ARCHITECTURE.
(a) CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS — TRANCHE STRUCTURE.—Congress finds that the most effective method for delivering immediate household economic relief while maintaining fiscal discipline is a structured, sequenced deployment architecture that insulates safety-net disbursements from dependency on unconfirmed revenue streams.
(b) TRANCHE 1 — IMMEDIATE FOUNDATION RELIEF (YEAR 1 — IMMEDIATE ACTIVATION).—The following citizen relief mechanisms shall activate upon enactment without requiring CBO revenue certification, as they are fully funded by confirmed and scored revenue streams under Subledgers SL-1 through SL-5 of the 7-Subledger fiscal architecture:
(1) Basic Minimum Plan deployment for uninsured households (Title XXI);
(2) G7 pharmaceutical price parity enforcement (Title XIII);
(3) Federal student loan zero-interest conversion (Title XV);
(4) Child Prosperity Trust birth deposits (Section 503);
(5) SNAP and WIC statutory protection (Titles I and VII).
No Tranche 1 disbursement requires a SIRF revenue certification or phase gate condition. These mechanisms are funded from mandatory enforcement revenue that activates automatically upon enactment.
(c) TRANCHE 2 — TARGETED HSRN (GATE 1 CONDITIONS).—Household Structural Relief Node deployment at three hundred dollars ($300) per month to households at or below one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the federal poverty guideline shall activate only when all three Gate 1 conditions of Schedule E are simultaneously certified by the CBO. No Tranche 2 disbursement may be treated as deficit financing — the SIRF balance certification requirement of Gate 1 ensures that dollar-one of HSRN is backed by collected, verified sovereign revenue.
(d) TRANCHE 3 — UNIVERSAL HSRN (GATE 2 CONDITIONS).—Universal Household Structural Relief Node deployment shall activate only when Gate 2 conditions of Schedule E are met, at which point the federal deficit is below four hundred billion dollars ($400,000,000,000) — a near-balanced budget condition. Universal HSRN deployment occurs when the fiscal foundation is substantially complete, not before.
(e) ANTI-DEFICIT-FINANCING DECLARATION.—No disbursement under any Tranche of this section shall be financed by new federal borrowing. The mandatory structure of this section creates a hardcoded statutory firewall between citizen relief and deficit expansion. Any CBO score asserting deficit financing of Tranche disbursements shall be rebutted by reference to the revenue sufficiency certification requirements of this section and Schedule E.
(f) MACRO-SHOCK PROTECTION.—To prevent a sudden fiscal shock to the macroeconomic baseline during the multi-year ramp of corporate supply chain migration and enforcement revenue:
(1) Tranche 2 and Tranche 3 deployments shall not exceed the SIRF Household Endowment Node's verified quarterly inflow;
(2) The FMIA shall publish a quarterly Tranche Capacity Report confirming available deployment headroom before any HSRN expansion;
(3) If revenue collections underperform CBO projections by more than fifteen percent (15%) over any rolling ninety (90) day period, the V_abs Quarterly Absorption Throttle established in Section 004 shall activate, scaling down corporate procurement premiums and upper-tier infrastructure grants before any reduction in household Tranche disbursements.
SEC. 006. PRIVATE SECTOR CO-INVESTMENT PRIORITY AND MARKET PRIMACY DECLARATION.
(a) MARKET PRIMACY.—Congress declares that the preferred mechanism for achieving the infrastructure sovereignty, manufacturing renaissance, and household wealth-building objectives of this Act is voluntary private sector investment attracted by the structural incentives, reduced regulatory arbitrage, and market corrections established herein. Government capital deployment through the SIRF is a supplement to, not a replacement for, domestic private capital formation.
(b) MANDATORY CO-INVESTMENT RATIOS.—Except for direct household disbursements under Title V and Sections 1303, 1401, and 1501, all SIRF infrastructure grants and capital deployments exceeding one million dollars ($1,000,000) per project shall require matching private sector or state co-investment at the following minimum ratios:
(1) Manufacturing and energy infrastructure: not less than one dollar ($1.00) of private or state co-investment per one dollar ($1.00) of SIRF capital (1:1 match);
(2) Transportation and broadband infrastructure: not less than thirty cents ($0.30) per one dollar ($1.00) of SIRF capital;
(3) Agricultural cooperative and land trust capitalization: not less than fifteen cents ($0.15) per one dollar ($1.00) of SIRF capital.
(c) PRIVATE CAPITAL MOBILIZATION REPORT.—The FMIA shall publish annually a Private Capital Mobilization Report quantifying the total private investment attracted as a result of NSRA incentive structures, demonstrating the leverage ratio of public-to-private capital deployment. The target leverage ratio is three dollars ($3.00) of private investment per one dollar ($1.00) of SIRF capital deployed in infrastructure categories.

Bill 2
The American Health Sovereignty Act
Energy & Commerce · Veterans Affairs · Finance
›
Broadest consumer coalition. Pharmaceutical pricing is genuinely bipartisan. Veterans provisions are uncontroversial. BMP is the most transformative provision, introduced after fiscal credibility is established. Titles: XXI + XIII + XXV + Schedule F.
Title XXI, Basic Minimum Plan (BMP) & Medicare Expansion
›
The Basic Minimum Plan (BMP): universal healthcare at $0 premium and $0 deductible for all 28M uninsured Americans, delivered through private carrier competition, not a government single-payer system. Medicare expanded to include dental, vision, and hearing. Veterans receive BMP at $0, filling all 6 PACT Act gaps.
TITLE XXI — THE SOVEREIGN HEALTH FOUNDATION ACT: UNIVERSAL BASIC MINIMUM COVERAGE THROUGH COMPETITIVE PRIVATE DELIVERY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 2101. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF HEALTH SOVEREIGNTY.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds and declares the following:
(1) Access to basic medical care is a prerequisite to the exercise of all other civil and economic rights established under this Act and is a direct determinant of domestic productive capacity, labor force participation, and national systemic resilience.
(2) The United States spends more per capita on healthcare than any industrialized nation while leaving tens of millions of residents without consistent access to basic preventive and primary care, constituting a verified structural variance in the national health infrastructure.
(3) The preferred reform architecture is a federally defined Basic Minimum Plan (BMP), mandated as a floor product by every licensed private health insurer operating in the United States, funded by the federal government at a nationally set per-capita premium rate paid directly to the private carrier of each individual's choosing. No federal government insurer is created. Private carriers deliver all coverage. Individuals retain full and unrestricted choice of carrier and provider.
(4) Above the BMP floor, individuals may purchase supplemental coverage directly from their chosen carrier or any other carrier, at their own expense, in any amount and for any services they elect. The federal government has no role in supplemental plan pricing, design, or delivery.
(5) This architecture preserves and strengthens the domestic private health insurance industry by guaranteeing every American as a covered life, eliminating the catastrophic-risk underwriting problem that drives coverage gaps, and positioning private carriers as competitive delivery engines for a defined public benefit rather than gatekeepers to survival care.
(6) This Title is enacted pursuant to the Spending Clause (Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 1) and the Commerce Clause (Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 3). No individual mandate is created. No individual is compelled to purchase any product. The federal government funds a defined benefit; private carriers compete to deliver it.
SEC. 2102. THE BASIC MINIMUM PLAN — MANDATORY FLOOR PRODUCT.
(a) MANDATORY OFFER REQUIREMENT.—As a condition of licensure to sell any health insurance product in the United States, every licensed health insurance carrier shall offer the Basic Minimum Plan (BMP) as a standard product in every state and territory in which it holds a license to sell health insurance. A carrier that does not offer the BMP in any state where it holds a health insurance license shall have that license suspended within ninety (90) days of non-compliance. A carrier that wishes to exit the BMP market must simultaneously exit the entirety of the United States health insurance market for a period of not less than five (5) years.
(b) BMP DEFINED BENEFIT PACKAGE.—The Basic Minimum Plan shall cover, at minimum, the following categories of services with zero premium, zero deductible, zero copayment, and zero coinsurance to the enrolled individual:
(1) PRIMARY AND PREVENTIVE CARE.—Unlimited primary care physician and nurse practitioner visits; all USPSTF Grade A and B preventive screenings; adult and childhood immunizations on the CDC-recommended schedule; annual wellness examinations.
(2) EMERGENCY AND URGENT CARE.—All medically necessary emergency department services and emergency medical transportation, regardless of network status, with no balance billing permitted.
(3) ESSENTIAL PRESCRIPTION DRUGS.—All generic drugs and biosimilars on the BMP Essential Medicines Formulary maintained by HHS and updated annually; all brand-name drugs for which no clinically appropriate generic equivalent exists, priced at or below the G7 parity ceiling established in Title XIII of this Act.
(4) MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER TREATMENT.—Inpatient and outpatient mental health services at full parity with physical health; all FDA-approved medication-assisted treatment for substance use disorders; crisis intervention services; not fewer than twenty-six (26) outpatient mental health visits per year with no prior authorization requirement.
(5) MATERNAL AND REPRODUCTIVE CARE.—All prenatal, labor and delivery, and postpartum care through twelve (12) months postpartum; family planning counseling and all FDA-approved contraceptive methods.
(6) PEDIATRIC CARE.—All medically necessary care for enrollees under age eighteen (18), including dental, vision, hearing services, and developmental screening.
(7) CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT.—Ongoing management of diabetes, hypertension, asthma, COPD, heart failure, and other conditions on the HHS Chronic Disease Management List, including all monitoring devices, supplies, and medications required for clinically indicated management.
(8) BASIC DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES.—Laboratory testing; basic diagnostic imaging (X-ray, ultrasound, standard MRI and CT for medically indicated conditions); and pathology services.
(9) INPATIENT HOSPITAL CARE.—Medically necessary inpatient hospitalization in a standard non-private room, including surgery, anesthesia, and post-surgical recovery.
(c) PRIOR AUTHORIZATION PROHIBITION.—No carrier may impose prior authorization requirements on any BMP-covered service, except for non-emergency inpatient admissions exceeding five (5) days, for which a concurrent review not exceeding seventy-two (72) hours is permitted. Any prior authorization denial of a BMP-covered service is void ab initio.
(d) FREE PROVIDER CHOICE.—Every BMP enrollee may receive BMP-covered services from any licensed provider of their choosing, regardless of network status. Carriers may not condition BMP coverage on provider network membership. Out-of-network providers may not balance bill BMP enrollees for covered services. BMP payment rates for out-of-network services shall be set at one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of Medicare payment rates.
SEC. 2103. GOVERNMENT FUNDING OF THE BASIC MINIMUM PLAN.
(a) FEDERAL BMP PREMIUM.—The federal government shall pay, on behalf of every enrolled United States resident, a per-capita Basic Minimum Plan Premium directly to the BMP carrier of the individual's choice. The individual owes no premium, deductible, copayment, or cost-sharing of any kind for any BMP-covered service.
(b) BMP PREMIUM RATE SETTING.—The Secretary of HHS, in coordination with the CBO, shall establish the annual BMP Premium Rate using a risk-adjusted per-capita methodology:
(1) BASE RATE.—A national base per-capita annual premium reflecting the actuarially projected average cost of delivering the BMP Defined Benefit Package at one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of Medicare payment rates.
(2) RISK ADJUSTMENT.—The base rate shall be adjusted for each enrollee's age band and documented chronic condition burden using the HHS risk adjustment methodology under 42 U.S.C. § 18063, redistributing premium dollars among carriers via an annual risk adjustment pool administered by HHS to prevent adverse selection incentives.
(3) GEOGRAPHIC ADJUSTMENT.—The base rate shall be adjusted for regional provider cost variation using the Medicare Geographic Practice Cost Index.
(4) ANNUAL RECALIBRATION.—The BMP Premium Rate shall be recalibrated annually based on prior-year actual claims experience. If actual cost exceeds the prior-year rate by more than five percent (5%), carriers shall receive a prospective rate adjustment of not less than three percent (3%); if actual cost is below the rate by more than five percent (5%), the rate shall be reduced by not more than two percent (2%), with surplus retained in the Health Sovereignty Fund.
(5) QUALITY PERFORMANCE ADJUSTMENT BAND.—To create competitive incentives for service excellence without creating a race to the bottom on price, the BMP Premium Rate shall be adjusted annually by a quality performance modifier as follows:
(A) QUALITY BONUS.—Carriers whose annual HHS quality score places them in the top twenty-five percent (25%) of BMP carriers nationally, measured by HEDIS preventive care completion rates, thirty-day readmission rates, member satisfaction scores, and chronic disease management outcomes, shall receive a quality bonus of up to five percent (5%) above the base risk-adjusted rate for the following plan year.
(B) QUALITY PENALTY.—Carriers whose annual HHS quality score places them in the bottom fifteen percent (15%) of BMP carriers nationally shall receive a quality reduction of up to three percent (3%) below the base risk-adjusted rate for the following plan year, with mandatory remediation plan submission to HHS within sixty (60) days of quality determination.
(C) QUALITY SCORE PUBLICATION.—HHS shall publish carrier quality scores on the public carrier comparison dashboard under Section 2106(a) not later than September 1 of each year, giving enrollees sixty (60) days to factor quality scores into Open Enrollment carrier selection. Quality scores shall never be used to deny a carrier the right to participate in BMP — they affect only the rate adjustment band, not participation eligibility.
(6) COMPETITIVE BID PROHIBITION.—The BMP Premium Rate shall not be determined through competitive carrier bidding. The risk-adjusted rate-setting methodology in this subsection is the exclusive mechanism for BMP premium determination. Competitive bidding is prohibited because it produces accurate price signals only in markets with robust competition, and not less than forty percent (40%) of United States counties currently have one or two BMP carriers, eliminating the conditions necessary for competitive bidding to function as an efficiency mechanism rather than a monopoly rent extraction mechanism.
(c) RISK CORRIDOR PROTECTION.—For the first five (5) years of BMP operation: if a carrier's BMP claims costs exceed one hundred eight percent (108%) of BMP Premium received, the federal government shall reimburse eighty percent (80%) of the excess from the Health Sovereignty Fund; if a carrier's BMP claims costs fall below ninety-two percent (92%) of BMP Premium received, the carrier shall remit fifty percent (50%) of the shortfall to the Health Sovereignty Fund.
(d) HEALTH SOVEREIGNTY FUND.—There is established in the Treasury the Health Sovereignty Fund (HSF), a permanent non-lapsing statutory trust fund from which all BMP Premium payments shall be disbursed, capitalized through the following mandatory revenue streams:
(1) EXISTING FEDERAL HEALTH PROGRAM CONSOLIDATION.—All federal expenditures currently directed to Medicaid (42 U.S.C. § 1396 et seq.), CHIP (42 U.S.C. § 1397aa et seq.), and ACA premium tax credits (26 U.S.C. § 36B) shall be consolidated into the HSF beginning in the second fiscal year following enactment, with existing beneficiaries transitioned to BMP with no interruption of coverage.
(2) PHARMACEUTICAL SAVINGS DIVIDEND.—The CBO-projected ten-year federal pharmaceutical savings from Title XIII of this Act — not less than two hundred fifty billion dollars ($250,000,000,000) in Medicare Part D and Medicaid drug savings — shall be redirected to the HSF rather than the general fund.
(3) HEALTH PROFIT SOVEREIGNTY ASSESSMENT.—Any health insurance carrier with a medical loss ratio below eighty-five percent (85%) shall be assessed a Health Profit Sovereignty Levy equal to one hundred percent (100%) of premium revenue retained above the fifteen percent (15%) ceiling, routed to the HSF.
(4) SIRF BIOSECURITY NODE TRANSFER.—Not less than fifteen percent (15%) of annual SIRF Biosecurity and Pharmaceutical Node disbursements (Section 201(e)(8)) shall transfer to the HSF annually.
SEC. 2104. INDIVIDUAL CARRIER CHOICE AND ENROLLMENT.
(a) FREE CARRIER CHOICE.—Every United States resident shall have the absolute right to choose any BMP-participating carrier operating in their region. No government entity shall assign, direct, or restrict the individual's carrier selection except through the auto-assignment mechanism in subsection (b)(2) for individuals who make no affirmative selection.
(b) ANNUAL OPEN ENROLLMENT.—
(1) ENROLLMENT WINDOW.—A national BMP Open Enrollment Period shall run from November 1 through December 15 of each year, with coverage effective January 1. Special Enrollment Periods of sixty (60) days shall be available for qualifying life events: birth, adoption, change of residence, loss of employer-sponsored coverage, marriage, and divorce.
(2) AUTO-ASSIGNMENT.—Any resident who does not make an affirmative carrier selection during Open Enrollment shall be automatically assigned to the highest HHS quality-rated BMP carrier in their zip code, ensuring no individual falls through an enrollment gap. Auto-assigned individuals retain the right to switch carriers at any subsequent Open Enrollment.
(3) AUTOMATIC ENROLLMENT AT BIRTH.—Every child born in the United States shall be automatically enrolled in the BMP carrier selected by the parent or guardian within sixty (60) days of birth, effective from date of birth with no coverage gap.
(c) PORTABILITY.—BMP coverage follows the individual nationally. No carrier may impose residency requirements, waiting periods, or coverage gaps when an individual relocates.
SEC. 2105. SUPPLEMENTAL COVERAGE — PRIVATE MARKET ABOVE THE FLOOR.
(a) INDIVIDUAL CHOICE OF SUPPLEMENTS.—Every BMP enrollee may purchase supplemental health coverage above the BMP floor from any licensed carrier of their choosing, paying for such coverage entirely out of pocket or through employer contributions. The federal government has no role in supplemental plan pricing, design, delivery, or payment.
(b) SUPPLEMENTAL COVERAGE CATEGORIES.—Carriers may offer supplemental plans in any combination of: (1) Enhanced Coverage — routine adult dental, adult vision, hearing aids; (2) Specialist Access — preferred specialist networks, reduced wait times, direct specialist access; (3) Premium Comfort — private hospital rooms, concierge primary care; (4) Experimental Treatment — clinical trials, investigational drugs; (5) International Coverage — care received outside the United States; and (6) Comprehensive Plus — any bundled combination of the above.
(c) NO COERCION.—Carriers may not condition BMP enrollment on the purchase of any supplemental product. Carriers may not penalize BMP-only enrollees through network restriction, prior authorization escalation, quality-of-service degradation, or any other mechanism.
(d) GUARANTEED ISSUE.—No supplemental plan carrier may deny enrollment on the basis of health status, pre-existing conditions, prior claims history, age, or sex. Age-rated supplemental premiums shall not exceed a four-to-one (4:1) ratio between the highest and lowest age band for equivalent coverage.
(e) EMPLOYER-SPONSORED COVERAGE.—Employers may continue offering supplemental health plans as a tax-advantaged employment benefit. The existing employer tax exclusion under 26 U.S.C. § 106 applies only to supplemental premiums above the BMP floor.
SEC. 2106. CARRIER COMPLIANCE AND ANTI-PROFITEERING ENFORCEMENT.
(a) STRICT LIABILITY VIOLATIONS.—The following constitute strict liability violations enforceable by HHS, the FMIA, and by private right of action: (1) imposing any premium, deductible, copayment, or cost-sharing for any BMP-covered service; (2) imposing prohibited prior authorization requirements; (3) balance billing a BMP enrollee for covered services; (4) retaliating against an enrollee for filing a complaint; (5) conditioning BMP enrollment on supplemental product purchase.
(b) AUTOMATED PENALTIES.—Violations shall trigger: (1) a per-instance civil penalty of not less than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000), routed to the HSF; (2) treble damages to the affected enrollee; (3) for carriers accumulating more than two hundred fifty (250) violations in any twelve-month period, mandatory suspension of BMP carrier status pending compliance audit; and (4) for willful systematic violation patterns, permanent revocation of BMP carrier status and disqualification from all federal health programs for ten (10) years.
(c) CITIZEN BOUNTY.—Consistent with Section 401, any individual who documents and reports a BMP carrier strict liability violation shall be entitled to fifteen percent (15%) of any civil penalty collected, disbursed within fourteen (14) calendar days of collection.
SEC. 2107. INSURANCE MARKET CONCENTRATION AND ACCESS STANDARDS.
(a) CONCENTRATION CAP.—No single BMP carrier shall control more than twenty-five percent (25%) of BMP enrollment in any MSA or state. The FDVM shall monitor carrier market share quarterly. Excess concentration triggers referral to DOJ Antitrust Division for enrollment divestment within one hundred eighty (180) days.
(b) RURAL HEALTH SOVEREIGNTY FUND.—The SIRF Household Endowment Node shall deploy not less than five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000) annually to capitalize rural health clinics, community health centers, and mobile health units in communities failing to meet minimum network adequacy standards.
(c) TELEHEALTH FLOOR.—All BMP carriers shall cover telehealth delivery of primary care, mental health, and chronic disease management at the same rate as in-person visits, with no additional prior authorization or geographic restriction.
(d) NEW CARRIER ENTRY INCENTIVE.—Any new health insurance carrier entering the BMP market in a region with fewer than three (3) competing BMP carriers shall be eligible for a SIRF Vanguard Capitalization grant of up to five million dollars ($5,000,000) to offset initial market entry costs.
SEC. 2108. TRANSITION FROM LEGACY PROGRAMS AND PERFORMANCE BENCHMARKS.
(a) MEDICAID, CHIP, AND ACA TRANSITION.—All current Medicaid, CHIP, and ACA marketplace enrollees shall be transitioned to BMP coverage within twenty-four (24) months of enactment with no interruption of covered services. Medicaid and CHIP shall continue as coverage backstops during the transition period.
(b) VETERANS HEALTH.—Nothing in this Title affects VA health benefits for service-connected conditions. Veterans not receiving VA care for a specific condition are enrolled in BMP through their chosen private carrier for non-service-connected care.
(c) SCHEDULE D BENCHMARKS — TITLE XXI.—The following benchmarks are added to Schedule D for biennial sovereign resilience review: (1) not fewer than ninety-five percent (95%) of previously uninsured United States residents enrolled in BMP within thirty-six (36) months of universal deployment; (2) average primary care appointment wait time not exceeding five (5) business days for ninety percent (90%) of BMP enrollees within five (5) years; (3) national maternal mortality rate reduced by not less than thirty percent (30%) within five (5) years; (4) average annual household out-of-pocket cost for BMP-covered services at zero within twenty-four (24) months; (5) HSF medical loss ratio of not less than ninety-six percent (96%); and (6) not fewer than three (3) competing BMP carriers in ninety percent (90%) of MSAs within five (5) years of universal deployment.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Title XIII, Pharmaceutical Parity & Biosecurity
›
G7 pharmaceutical price parity. Any drug developed with federal research funding cannot be priced above the G7 median. Insulin: $35/month cap. Essential medicines: $100/month cap. Compulsory licensing at 8% royalty if manufacturers refuse to comply. Schedule F governs all royalty calculations.
TITLE XIII — SOVEREIGN BIOSECURITY AND PHARMACEUTICAL PARITY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 1301. MANDATORY G7 MEDICINE PRICING PARITY.
(a) PRICE CEILING MANDATE.—Any pharmaceutical corporation, biomedical manufacturing firm, or biotechnology Covered Entity utilizing patents or intellectual property derived in whole or in part from federally funded scientific research (including grants from the National Institutes of Health, BARDA, or the Department of Defense) is legally prohibited from pricing any drug, therapeutic vaccine, or medical device within the United States at a cost higher than the median price of the identical therapeutic asset across the G7 nations.
(b) AUTOMATED PATENT RECAPTURE VECTOR.—
(1) ENGAGEMENT PARAMETERS.—The FDVM shall monitor domestic retail and insurance medicine clearance data. Any documented pricing variance exceeding the G7 parity baseline for more than thirty (30) consecutive calendar days shall trigger an automatic patent recapture event.
(2) REASSIGNMENT MECHANICS.—Upon trigger engagement, the exclusive domestic manufacture and marketing rights for the therapeutic agent shall immediately be placed in the public domain. The A.B.R.N. or a designated Vanguard Entity shall be authorized to initiate immediate mass generic production at structural cost, funded via the SIRF biosecurity node.
(c) TRANSITION PERIOD FOR EXISTING PRICING.—Pharmaceutical Covered Entities with existing domestic prices exceeding G7 parity shall have ninety (90) days from the effective date of this Act to reduce prices to parity before the automated patent recapture trigger activates. The ninety-day transition window shall not toll the thirty-day monitoring clock specified in subsection (b)(1).
(d) BMP ESSENTIAL MEDICINES FORMULARY COORDINATION.—The G7 parity price ceilings established in subsection (a) shall serve as the maximum allowable price for all drugs included on the BMP Essential Medicines Formulary maintained by HHS under Section 2102(b)(3) of this Act. HHS shall update the BMP Essential Medicines Formulary within thirty (30) days of any G7 parity price adjustment under this section to ensure automatic alignment between Title XIII price ceilings and Title XXI BMP coverage.
SEC. 1302. DOMESTIC PHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURING SOVEREIGNTY.
(a) CRITICAL DRUG DOMESTIC PRODUCTION MANDATE.—Within five (5) years of enactment, not less than eighty percent (80%) of all active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) used in generic drugs on the FDA's Essential Medicines List shall be manufactured in facilities located within the territorial United States.
(b) SIRF PHARMACEUTICAL CAPITALIZATION.—The SIRF biosecurity node shall deploy not less than two billion dollars ($2,000,000,000) over five fiscal years to capitalize domestic API manufacturing facility construction, with priority for worker-cooperative and Vanguard Entity applicants.
(c) PANDEMIC PREPAREDNESS RESERVE.—The SIRF biosecurity node shall maintain not less than five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000) as a standing Pandemic Preparedness Manufacturing Reserve, deployable within seventy-two (72) hours by executive direction to capitalize emergency domestic production of critical therapeutics, vaccines, or medical countermeasures during a declared public health emergency.
SEC. 1303. INSULIN AND ESSENTIAL MEDICINE PRICE CAP.
(a) INSULIN PRICE CAP.—Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the retail price of any form of insulin sold within the United States shall not exceed thirty-five dollars ($35) per month's supply per patient, regardless of insurance status. This cap shall apply to all distribution channels, including pharmacy retail, mail-order, and hospital dispensing.
(b) ESSENTIAL MEDICINE LIST PRICE CAP.—For any drug appearing on the FDA's Essential Medicines List, the retail out-of-pocket cost shall not exceed one hundred dollars ($100) per month's supply per patient, regardless of insurance status.
(c) MANUFACTURER COMPLIANCE.—Pharmaceutical manufacturers found to be charging prices in excess of the caps established in this section shall be assessed an automated Sovereign Pricing Violation Penalty equal to three hundred percent (300%) of excess revenue collected above the cap, routed to the SIRF biosecurity node and credited back to the affected patients as direct payment refunds within sixty (60) days.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 1304. NATIONAL CURATIVE DRUG REGISTRY AND RESEARCH INTEGRITY PROTECTION.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—There is established a National Curative Drug Registry, maintained by the Department of Health and Human Services, cataloging therapeutics derived in whole or in part from federally funded research, together with their funding provenance, patent status, and pricing relative to the G7 parity ceiling of this Title.
(b) MARCH-IN RIGHTS ENFORCEMENT — SUPPLEMENTARY TO SCHEDULE F.—Where a registered therapeutic derived from NIH, BARDA, or DoD-funded research is priced above the G7 parity ceiling for more than thirty (30) consecutive days, the Registry shall refer the matter for march-in rights consideration under 35 U.S.C. § 203. The authority of this subsection operates consistent with, and supplementary to, the compulsory licensing framework of Schedule F, which remains the primary enforcement mechanism for pharmaceutical pricing violations; nothing in this section creates a parallel or conflicting remedy, and any exercise of march-in authority shall conform to the just-compensation and due-process protections applicable under Schedule F and Title XVIII.
(c) RESEARCH INTEGRITY PROTECTION.—The research integrity protection functions established in this section shall protect publicly funded research from suppression, undisclosed foreign extraction, or pricing capture, consistent with the manufacturing sovereignty provisions of Section 1302 and the scientific integrity functions of Section 1006.
(d) PUBLIC TRANSPARENCY.—The Registry shall be published and updated annually at no cost to the public.
Title XXV, Veterans Health Sovereignty & PACT Completion
›
Fills every gap the PACT Act left open. Universal healthcare for all 1.8M uninsured veterans. Fully funds the burn pit registry and toxic exposure monitoring. Extends benefits to surviving family members. Written by people who ran VA medical facilities.
TITLE XXV — VETERANS HEALTH SOVEREIGNTY AND PACT ACT COMPLETION ACT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 2501. FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF VETERANS HEALTH SOVEREIGNTY.
Congress finds and declares the following:
(1) The men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces have made contributions to the national commons that are among the highest any citizen can make. The healthcare covenant between the United States government and those who served is a non-negotiable national obligation, not a discretionary program subject to budget negotiation.
(2) As of the date of enactment, approximately 1.8 million veterans of the United States Armed Forces are uninsured — without coverage either through the Department of Veterans Affairs or through private health insurance — representing a fundamental breach of the healthcare covenant.
(3) The Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act of 2022 (PACT Act, Pub. L. 117-168) represented the most significant expansion of veterans' healthcare eligibility in a generation. The implementation of the PACT Act has revealed six categories of administrative, coverage, and research gaps that this Title addresses.
(4) The privatization of VA healthcare services represents a structural threat to the veterans healthcare covenant. Once direct VA care capacity is transferred to the private sector, rebuilding it becomes generationally costly. This Title establishes a permanent statutory barrier to VA privatization.
SEC. 2502. VETERANS HEALTH COVERAGE — THREE-TIER ARCHITECTURE.
(a) TIER 1 — VA AS SOVEREIGN VETERANS BMP.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—For all service-connected conditions — conditions recognized by the Department of Veterans Affairs as causally related to military service — the VA healthcare system shall serve as each veteran's Basic Minimum Plan, meeting and exceeding all BMP standards established in Title XXI of this Act at zero cost to the veteran.
(2) COVERAGE EQUIVALENCE.—VA care for service-connected conditions shall meet or exceed every coverage standard in Title XXI, including the prohibition on cost-sharing, the prior authorization standards, and the mental health parity requirements.
(3) ANTI-PRIVATIZATION PERMANENT PROTECTION.—The VA direct care system — including VA hospitals, VA medical centers, VA community-based outpatient clinics, and VA specialty care facilities — shall not be absorbed into, converted to, or replaced by private carrier networks without an Act of Congress passed by a two-thirds (2/3) supermajority of both chambers, explicitly authorizing such privatization by name. Executive orders, administrative restructuring, or agency budget decisions may not achieve privatization outcomes that require this supermajority Act.
(b) TIER 2 — BMP FOR NON-SERVICE-CONNECTED CONDITIONS.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—For conditions not recognized as service-connected by the VA, every veteran with honorable or general discharge shall be enrolled in the Basic Minimum Plan through a private carrier of the veteran's choosing, at zero cost to the veteran, with premiums paid by the federal government from the Health Sovereignty Fund established in Title XXI.
(2) UNINSURED VETERAN ENROLLMENT.—Within one hundred eighty (180) days of enactment, the VA and HHS shall jointly identify and automatically enroll all currently uninsured veterans in Tier 2 BMP coverage, using data from the VA enrollment system, the IRS, and the Social Security Administration.
(3) COORDINATION OF BENEFITS.—Veterans may seamlessly use Tier 1 VA care for service-connected conditions and Tier 2 BMP care for non-service-connected conditions with no administrative barrier, prior authorization requirement, or coordination-of-benefits delay between the two systems.
(c) TIER 3 — VOLUNTARY SUPPLEMENTAL COVERAGE.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—Any veteran who wishes to purchase supplemental health coverage above the Tier 1 and Tier 2 floors may do so through any licensed carrier under the supplemental market framework established in Section 2105. The federal government provides no subsidy for Tier 3 supplemental coverage. No veteran may be pressured, incentivized, or administratively channeled toward Tier 3 options as a substitute for Tier 1 or Tier 2 coverage.
SEC. 2503. PACT ACT GAP CLOSURE — SIX PROVISIONS.
(a) GAP 1 — CLAIMS PROCESSING BACKLOG ELIMINATION.—
(1) MANDATORY PROCESSING STANDARD.—The VA shall process all disability claims filed under the PACT Act within one hundred twenty-five (125) calendar days of receipt. This is a mandatory performance standard, not a target.
(2) AUTOMATIC INTERIM BENEFITS.—Any PACT Act claim not adjudicated within one hundred twenty-five (125) days shall trigger automatic interim benefit payments to the claimant at a fifty percent (50%) disability rating, effective on day 126. Interim payments shall continue until final adjudication and shall not be recouped if the final rating is lower than fifty percent (50%).
(3) FDVM INTEGRATION.—The FMIA shall integrate with VA claims processing systems to monitor real-time claims backlog data and publish monthly backlog reports.
(b) GAP 2 — DEPENDENT CHILDREN TOXIC EXPOSURE COVERAGE.—
(1) INTERGENERATIONAL COVERAGE.—The VA shall establish an evidence-based formulary for conditions with documented scientific evidence of intergenerational transmission through parental toxic exposure, including Agent Orange, burn pit exposure, and other toxic agents recognized under the PACT Act.
(2) NIH ANNUAL REVIEW.—The National Institutes of Health and the VA shall conduct a joint annual review of emerging scientific evidence on intergenerational toxic exposure transmission and update the formulary within sixty (60) days of each annual review.
(3) RETROACTIVE ELIGIBILITY.—Dependent children of veterans with PACT Act-recognized toxic exposure conditions who have manifested a condition on the intergenerational formulary shall be eligible for VA healthcare coverage retroactive to the date of the child's diagnosis, regardless of current age of the dependent.
(c) GAP 3 — MENTAL HEALTH SAME-DAY CRISIS ACCESS.—
(1) CRISIS ACCESS MANDATE.—Any veteran experiencing a mental health crisis — including suicidal ideation, acute PTSD episodes, and acute substance use crises — shall receive same-day clinical contact and assessment from a qualified mental health provider, either through VA direct care or through BMP authorization for any community provider, with zero wait, zero prior authorization, and zero cost.
(2) FUNDING.—The VA shall be authorized to reimburse non-VA community mental health providers at VA fee schedule rates for crisis mental health services provided to veterans under this subsection, funded from the SIRF Veterans Sovereignty Node established in Section 2504.
(3) PERFORMANCE BENCHMARK.—The VA shall achieve and maintain a same-day mental health crisis access rate of not less than ninety-five percent (95%) within thirty-six (36) months of enactment.
(d) GAP 4 — AUTOMATIC TOXIC EXPOSURE REGISTRY ENROLLMENT.—
(1) FDVM AUTO-IDENTIFICATION.—The FMIA shall integrate with Department of Defense deployment records, DoD environmental hazard databases, and VA enrollment records to automatically identify veterans who served in locations or capacities with documented toxic exposure risks under the PACT Act.
(2) AUTOMATIC REGISTRY ENROLLMENT.—Veterans identified through FDVM auto-identification shall be automatically enrolled in the VA Toxic Exposure Registry within thirty (30) days of identification, with written notification to the veteran of their enrollment and associated benefits eligibility.
(3) INFORMED CONSENT.—Veterans who do not wish to be enrolled in the Registry may opt out within sixty (60) days of receiving enrollment notification. Opt-out does not affect any PACT Act benefits eligibility.
(e) GAP 5 — VETERANS SOVEREIGNTY NODE — SIRF MANDATORY ALLOCATION.—
(1) ESTABLISHMENT.—There is established within the SIRF a mandatory sub-account to be known as the Veterans Sovereignty Node (VSN).
(2) MANDATORY ALLOCATION.—Not less than eight percent (8%) of all SIRF revenue deposits shall be allocated to the VSN on a real-time basis as funds are deposited. This allocation is mandatory and protected by the two-thirds supermajority requirement of Section 201(c)(2).
(3) INDEXED GROWTH.—The VSN allocation percentage shall be reviewed biennially by the FMIA and adjusted upward in proportion to growth in PACT Act enrollment, ensuring that veterans' SIRF share grows as the veteran population receiving PACT Act benefits expands.
(4) ELIGIBLE USES.—VSN funds shall be used exclusively for: (A) Tier 2 BMP premium payments for uninsured veterans; (B) mental health crisis access funding under Section 2503(c); (C) toxic exposure research under Section 2503(f); (D) VA direct care infrastructure modernization; and (E) veteran workforce reintegration programs.
(f) GAP 6 — TOXIC EXPOSURE RESEARCH ENDOWMENT.—
(1) ESTABLISHMENT.—There is established a Toxic Exposure Research Endowment (TERE), jointly administered by the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
(2) FUNDING.—Five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000) shall be allocated from the VSN over five (5) fiscal years — one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) per year — for NIH-VA joint research on toxic exposure conditions, intergenerational health effects, treatment protocols, and long-term epidemiological tracking.
(3) OPEN-SOURCE FINDINGS.—All research findings funded by the TERE shall be published in open-access scientific literature within twelve (12) months of study completion. No TERE-funded research findings may be licensed exclusively to any private entity.
SEC. 2504. PACT ACT ALIGNMENT AND NON-SUPERSESSION.
(a) SUPPLEMENTAL, NOT SUPERSEDING.—The provisions of this Title supplement and strengthen the PACT Act (Pub. L. 117-168). Nothing in this Title repeals, diminishes, or supersedes any provision of the PACT Act or any benefit, eligibility determination, or coverage established thereunder.
(b) EXISTING CHAPTER 18 COVERAGE PRESERVED.—All veteran toxic exposure coverage established under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 18 is preserved in full and augmented by this Title. In any conflict between this Title and Chapter 18, the provision more favorable to the veteran shall govern.
(c) SCHEDULE D BENCHMARKS — TITLE XXV.—The FMIA and VA shall report jointly to Congress biennially on: (1) claims processing backlog reduction and compliance with the 125-day standard; (2) number of previously uninsured veterans enrolled in Tier 2 BMP; (3) same-day mental health crisis access rate; (4) number of veterans auto-enrolled in the Toxic Exposure Registry; (5) TERE research publications and findings; (6) VSN balance and deployment rate.

The pharmaceutical compulsory licensing royalty schedule. Standard rate: 8%. Orphan drug rate: 12%. Public health emergency rate: 4%. These rates govern every compulsory license issued under Title XIII's G7 parity enforcement mechanism.
SCHEDULE F — PHARMACEUTICAL COMPULSORY LICENSING ROYALTY SCHEDULE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. F-001. COMPULSORY LICENSING FRAMEWORK.
(a) REPLACEMENT OF PATENT RECAPTURE.—The automatic patent recapture mechanism in Section 1301(b)(1) of this Act is hereby superseded by the compulsory licensing framework established in this Schedule. Patent recapture — the involuntary termination of a patent holder's exclusive rights — shall not serve as an enforcement remedy for pharmaceutical pricing violations under this Act. Constitutional property rights of patent holders are preserved through the royalty structure established herein.
(b) COMPULSORY LICENSE ISSUANCE.—Upon a pricing violation as defined in Section 1301 of this Act — where a pharmaceutical Covered Entity prices a drug derived from NIH, BARDA, or DoD-funded research above the G7 parity ceiling for more than thirty (30) consecutive calendar days — HHS shall issue a compulsory license authorizing qualified generic manufacturers to produce and sell the drug in the United States at a price at or below the G7 parity ceiling.
(c) ROYALTY OBLIGATIONS.—The original patent holder shall receive ongoing royalty payments from all compulsory licensees at the following rates:
(1) STANDARD RATE.—Eight percent (8%) of the net sales revenue of the generic manufacturer, paid quarterly, for all drugs not qualifying for the orphan drug or pandemic emergency rates below.
(2) ORPHAN DRUG RATE.—Twelve percent (12%) of net sales revenue for drugs with FDA orphan drug designation under 21 U.S.C. § 360bb, reflecting the limited market size and higher per-unit development cost allocation.
(3) PANDEMIC EMERGENCY RATE.—Four percent (4%) of net sales revenue for compulsory licenses issued during a declared public health emergency under 42 U.S.C. § 247d, reflecting the national emergency public interest in maximum access.
(d) PATENT RETAINED.—Issuance of a compulsory license under this Schedule does not extinguish, transfer, diminish, or impair the original patent holder's underlying patent. The original patent holder retains full patent rights, including the right to license to additional parties, pursue infringement actions against unlicensed manufacturers, and receive the royalties specified herein. Compulsory licensing under this Schedule shall not constitute a taking requiring compensation under the Fifth Amendment, as the property right is preserved and ongoing royalty income is provided.
(e) LICENSE TERM.—A compulsory license issued under this Schedule shall remain in effect until the original patent holder reduces pricing to at or below the G7 parity ceiling and maintains compliant pricing for not less than ninety (90) consecutive calendar days, at which point the compulsory license shall automatically terminate.

END OF THE NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY AND RESILIENCE ACT OF 2028 — COMPLETE AS AMENDED
Schedule G, Revenue Assumptions & Methodology
›
The complete revenue build-up underlying the NSRA's $749 billion annual revenue projection. Each of the 12 statutory base revenue streams is individually sourced and sized: CBO, JCT, IRS, FDIC, BEA, EIA, GAO, OECD, and independent academic data. Includes a reconciliation table showing how each stream contributes to the aggregate figure, plus 4 supplemental enforcement streams not included in the base projection. Designed to be independently scoreable by the Congressional Budget Office without reliance on NSRA-specific assumptions. The FMIA is required to publish an annual Schedule G Variance Report comparing actual SIRF collections to each stream's projection.
SCHEDULE G — REVENUE ASSUMPTIONS AND METHODOLOGY
(Enacted as a statutory annex for purposes of Sections 3402, 3406, and 1903)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. PURPOSE.
Schedule G provides the complete, line-by-line revenue build-up underlying the $749 billion annual revenue figure stated in Section 3406(a). Each revenue stream is identified by its statutory source, annual estimate, rate or base assumptions, and the external data or modeling upon which the projection is grounded. This Schedule is intended to satisfy the transparency requirements of Section 1903 and provide the Congressional Budget Office, the Joint Committee on Taxation, independent economic reviewers, and the public with a complete and auditable revenue architecture.
All projections are Year 1 estimates at current law baselines unless otherwise stated. All figures are presented as statutory floors — the minimum annually recurring revenue projected at current behavioral and market baselines. Dynamic scoring and supplemental enforcement revenue are treated as conservative upside, not base assumptions.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
5. METHODOLOGY TRANSPARENCY.
All revenue projections are grounded in publicly available CBO, JCT, IRS, FDIC, BEA, EIA, GAO, OECD, and independent academic sources. No stream relies on behavioral assumptions that assume corporate behavior changes in a direction favorable to revenue collection. The FMIA shall publish an annual Schedule G Variance Report by March 15 each year comparing actual SIRF collections to each stream's projection, with explanation of any variance exceeding 10%. The CBO is directed to score each stream independently within 180 days of enactment.

Every dollar of benefit is backed by collected sovereign revenue. No deficit financing. Also creates the Systemic Resilience Premium on defense procurement and the Vanguard Capitalization Protocol.
TITLE II — THE SOVEREIGN ECONOMIC RESET AND CLOSED-LOOP CAPITALIZATION ENGINE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 201. THE SOVEREIGN INFRASTRUCTURE REINVESTMENT FUND — SIRF LOCKBOX.
(a) CONSTITUTIONAL GROUNDING.—The Sovereign Infrastructure Reinvestment Fund is established pursuant to the Spending Clause (Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 1) and the Necessary and Proper Clause (Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 18), as a standing statutory appropriation within the meaning of 31 U.S.C. § 1305, not subject to annual rescission under the Antideficiency Act (31 U.S.C. §§ 1341–1342) absent the supermajority requirement specified herein.
(b) SIRF LOCKBOX ESTABLISHED.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—There is established in the Treasury of the United States a permanent, separate, non-lapsing statutory trust fund to be known as the Sovereign Infrastructure Reinvestment Fund (SIRF).
(2) AUTOMATED SOURCE DEPOSITS.—The Treasury shall ensure that all capital flows generated via strict liability penalty assessments, fraud recoveries, asset forfeitures, equalization levies, and structural clawbacks executed under any Title of this Act are hard-routed automatically at the point of electronic clearance directly into the SIRF.
(3) DIVERSIFIED SEED CAPITALIZATION.—In lieu of a single initial general appropriation, the SIRF shall be capitalized through the following diversified revenue streams in the first five (5) fiscal years following enactment:
(A) OFFSHORE TAX ENFORCEMENT RECOVERY.—Sixty percent (60%) of all net new IRS revenue collected through enforcement actions targeting offshore tax shelters and unreported foreign financial accounts under FATCA (26 U.S.C. §§ 6038D, 1471–1474) in excess of the prior fiscal year's offshore enforcement collection baseline, automatically redirected to SIRF at source clearance;
(B) PATENT SETTLEMENT RECOVERIES.—All recoveries from pharmaceutical patent abuse settlements where the patent was derived from federally funded NIH or BARDA research, collected through the Department of Justice;
(C) DEFENSE PROCUREMENT FRAUD RECOVERIES.—All False Claims Act recoveries in Department of Defense procurement fraud cases, currently averaging one billion two hundred million dollars ($1,200,000,000) annually, redirected to SIRF rather than Treasury general fund;
(D) SYSTEMIC RESILIENCE PREMIUM REVENUE.—The Defense and Aerospace Procurement Premium established in Section 202, projected to generate eight hundred million to one billion two hundred million dollars ($800,000,000–$1,200,000,000) annually based on current procurement volumes; and
(E) FDVM STRUCTURAL VARIANCE PENALTY REVENUE.—All penalties, clawbacks, and forfeitures collected under any Title of this Act.
MINIMUM SIRF CAPITALIZATION FLOOR.—No SIRF disbursement program shall deploy capital at a rate that would draw the SIRF balance below two billion dollars ($2,000,000,000) at any point, serving as a standing operational reserve against unexpected revenue shortfalls.
(c) PROTECTION FROM GENERAL FUND DILUTION AND LEGISLATIVE RAIDS.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—Funds deposited into the SIRF shall remain inviolate. No administrative officer, executive order, budget directive, or general rescission act may divert, offset, loan, or appropriate SIRF balances for any purpose other than the explicit infrastructure capitalization mandates enumerated in this Act.
(2) TWO-THIRDS LEGISLATIVE FRICTION SUPERMAJORITY.—No provision of this section or any fund allocation within the SIRF may be modified, repealed, suspended, or re-appropriated by Congress unless such modification is executed through an independent, single-subject Act of Congress explicitly naming the section to be modified and passed by a verified two-thirds (2/3) supermajority of the voting members of both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
(d) RAPID CONSTITUENCY VESTING DEFENSE MECHANISM.—
(1) THE SIRF BENEFICIARY REGISTRY.—The FMIA shall maintain a real-time, public registry of every local infrastructure foundry, community land trust, worker cooperative, and household endowment account actively receiving capital distributions from the SIRF.
(2) QUARTERLY DISTRICT IMPACT REPORTING.—The FMIA shall compile and transmit directly to the registered voters of each United States Congressional District, on a rolling quarterly basis, a hyper-localized Economic Velocity Manifest detailing the exact dollar volume of SIRF capital deployed within that specific district, the physical assets constructed, and the verified expansion of regional capital velocity.
(e) SIRF CAPITAL ALLOCATION NODES.—SIRF capital shall be allocated among the following mandatory nodes, subject to annual rebalancing by the FMIA based on verified utilization rates:
(1) Industrial Infrastructure Node: 25%;
(2) Vanguard Capitalization Node (startup and cooperative grants): 15%;
(3) Household Endowment Node: 20%;
(4) Environmental Remediation Node: 10%;
(5) Energy Sovereignty Node: 10%;
(6) Agricultural Sovereignty Node: 7%;
(7) Knowledge Sovereignty Node: 5%;
(8) Biosecurity and Pharmaceutical Node: 5%;
(9) Administrative Operations Reserve: 3%.
SEC. 202. SYSTEMIC RESILIENCE PREMIUM ON DEFENSE AND AEROSPACE PROCUREMENT.
(a) MANDATORY BASELINE ASSESSMENT.—There is levied a mandatory Systemic Resilience Premium of one and one-half percent (1.5%) on the total gross contract value of all federal procurement, logistics, development, and acquisition contracts awarded by the Department of Defense, the Department of the Navy, the Department of the Air Force, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
(b) APPLICATION CRITERIA.—The Premium established under subsection (a) shall apply strictly to all corporate contractors, joint ventures, and defense industrial base entities maintaining a Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code footprint with an aggregate annual contract allocation exceeding ten million dollars ($10,000,000).
(c) SOURCE DEDUCTION AND ROUTING.—The Premium shall be deducted automatically by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) from each milestone or progress payment at the exact moment of electronic payment clearance and routed directly to the industrial capitalization node of the SIRF.
(d) SMALL BUSINESS DEFENSE CONTRACTORS.—Contractors with annual revenues below ten million dollars ($10,000,000) are exempt from the Premium. Contractors with annual revenues between ten million dollars ($10,000,000) and fifty million dollars ($50,000,000) shall be assessed at a reduced Premium rate of one-half percent (0.5%).

(a) ESTABLISHED STANDARDS.—The Bureau of Labor Statistics, in coordination with the Department of the Treasury, shall construct and publish a comprehensive, non-fiat macroeconomic baseline metric to be known as the Sovereign Productivity Index (SPI). The SPI shall measure the true, physical material output, agricultural production capacity, gigawatt-hour efficiency, and computational processing velocity of the domestic economy, completely insulated from consumer price index (CPI) calculations or fiat currency inflation variances.
(b) MANDATORY INDEXATION.—All federal procurement contracts, capital underwriting frameworks, infrastructure grants, and intergenerational asset distributions executed under any provision of federal law after the effective date of this Act shall be indexed exclusively to the SPI. Legacy CPI-indexed federal contracts shall be permitted to run to their natural expiration and shall not be unilaterally renegotiated.
(c) SPECULATIVE EVASION AND THE ANTI-MANIPULATION SURCHARGE.—
(1) PROHIBITION.—It shall be unlawful for any commercial bank, market-making financial institution, or hedge fund to design, clear, trade, or implement any structured derivative, short-selling contract, or synthetic swap asset designed to decouple domestic material contracts from the SPI or facilitate capital flight away from SPI indexation.
(2) AUTOMATED SURCHARGE.—Any financial institution found by the FDVM to be facilitating or clearing transactions in violation of paragraph (1) shall be strictly liable for an automated Civil Penalty Surcharge equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the total nominal volume of the non-compliant transactions, seized at source and routed to the SIRF.
SEC. 204. THE VANGUARD CAPITALIZATION PROTOCOL.
(a) MANDATE.—Exactly forty percent (40%) of all SIRF recovered capital flowing into the Vanguard Capitalization Node established in Section 201(e)(2) shall be disbursed as zero-equity, non-dilutive infrastructure grants to certified Vanguard Entities.
(b) ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA.—To qualify as a Vanguard Entity eligible for grants under this section, an applicant shall:
(1) Be a domestic startup, worker cooperative, CDFI, or certified Minority Business Enterprise with annual revenues not exceeding $25,000,000;
(2) Maintain not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of full-time workforce positions filled by United States residents;
(3) Operate in a sector designated as critical infrastructure by the FMIA; and
(4) Demonstrate a viable five-year business plan submitted to and approved by the SIRF Vanguard Review Panel.
(c) GRANT TERMS.—Grants under this section shall be:
(1) Non-repayable and zero-equity (no government ownership stake or revenue sharing);
(2) Capped at five million dollars ($5,000,000) per grant per entity per fiscal year;
(3) Subject to annual performance reporting on job creation, domestic material sourcing, and revenue growth; and
(4) Subject to clawback at one hundred fifty percent (150%) of disbursed value if the recipient relocates primary operations outside the United States within seven (7) years of grant receipt.
(d) VANGUARD REVIEW PANEL.—The SIRF Vanguard Review Panel shall consist of nine (9) members: three appointed by the President, three by the Speaker of the House, and three by the Senate Majority Leader, with staggered four-year terms. Panel decisions shall be by majority vote and shall be final and unreviewable except for constitutional due process violations.
SEC. 205. SEVERABILITY AND MANDATORY FALLBACK GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS.
(a) IN GENERAL.—If any provision of this Title, or any application of its closed-loop fiscal architecture to any entity, agency, or circumstance, is held invalid or temporarily suspended by an injunction issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining Titles and provisions of this Act shall remain entirely unaffected and shall continue to operate with full force and effect.
(b) SELF-EXECUTING FALLBACK OBLIGATION.—To guarantee the absolute operational survival and continuity of all downstream sovereign infrastructure, environmental remediation, and household endowment programs established under this Act during the pendency of any judicial or appellate suspension of the SIRF closed-loop funding engine:
(1) AUTOMATED TREASURY TRIGGER.—There is hereby authorized to be appropriated, and there shall be disbursed automatically from the general fund of the Treasury of the United States, a dollar-for-dollar matching fallback appropriation equal to the exact projected capital distribution schedule disrupted by such judicial suspension.
(2) DISCRETION PROHIBITED.—The fallback appropriation established under paragraph (1) shall be mandatory, non-discretionary, and self-executing on the first business day following the issuance of any judicial stay or suspension order, requiring no further legislative authorization or administrative signature.

Title V, Child Prosperity Trust
›
The Sovereign Child Prosperity Trust. Every child born receives a $5,000 SIRF-funded deposit at birthth to households at or below 150% poverty line at Gate 1, full universal rates at Gate 2. Also creates the Sovereign Child Prosperity Trust: every newborn receives a $5,000 SIRF-funded grant at birth. HSRN is explicitly excluded from SNAP, WIC, Medicaid, SSI, and Section 8 calculations, no benefit cliff. Adds a Transitional Household Stability Guarantee (Sec. 506): during the SIRF ramp, SIRF funds automatically backfill any shortfall in food, rental, or energy assistance for households at or below 130% of the poverty line, so no working-poor household loses food assistance while the bill's poverty-reduction mechanisms come online. Framed to protect the Act's own economic baseline, it sunsets once SIRF revenue is certified sufficient.
TITLE V — THE UNIVERSAL PROSPERITY AND INTERGENERATIONAL WEALTH ACT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 501. TARGETED REFORM OF PUNITIVE CONDITIONALITY FRAMEWORKS — PRESERVATION OF STATE BLOCK GRANT ARCHITECTURE.
(a) CONGRESSIONAL FINDING.—Congress finds that the punitive time limits, behavioral conditionality requirements, and surveillance-based means-testing mechanisms embedded in certain federal assistance programs have failed to produce durable material improvement in household economic stability and have imposed administrative costs that consume resources better directed to the households they are intended to serve. Congress further finds that the block grant architecture that provides states with flexibility to administer family assistance programs is a legitimate federalism mechanism that shall be preserved and enhanced.
(b) TARGETED REFORMS TO THE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND WORK OPPORTUNITY RECONCILIATION ACT OF 1996.—The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-193) is amended as follows:
(1) Section 407 (Mandatory work requirements) is amended to replace punitive benefit termination for failure to meet work participation rates with a positive incentive structure: states that achieve work participation rates above the federal baseline shall receive a ten percent (10%) bonus on their TANF block grant allocation from the SIRF Household Endowment Node.
(2) Section 408(a)(7) (Five-year lifetime benefit limit) is repealed and replaced with the following: No household with a dependent child under the age of six (6) shall face termination of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families benefits solely on the basis of a time limit. For households with no dependent child under age six, states may maintain time limits not shorter than sixty (60) months within any ten-year period.
(3) Section 408(a)(1) through (a)(6) (behavioral conditionality and means-testing surveillance requirements) are amended to remove criminal record bars, drug testing mandates, and electronic benefit transaction surveillance requirements. States may not condition TANF receipt on these factors.
(c) TANF BLOCK GRANT ENHANCEMENT.—The base TANF block grant allocation to each state is increased by twenty-five percent (25%), funded from the SIRF Household Endowment Node, conditioned on each state maintaining family benefit levels at not less than fifty percent (50%) of the state's median household income adjusted for family size.
(d) REPEAL OF COMPLEMENTARY PUNITIVE MEANS-TESTS.—Sections 7101 through 7103 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-171) and Section 4115 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-246) are hereby expressly repealed solely as to their drug testing, criminal history bar, and surveillance monitoring provisions. The underlying program structure and benefit eligibility framework of those Acts is preserved and enhanced.
(e) ANTI-HARMONIZATION CLAUSE.—Courts shall not apply the Morton v. Mancari (1974) implied harmonization doctrine to preserve the repealed punitive conditionality provisions. The targeted reforms in this section govern notwithstanding any contrary provision of prior law.
(f) TRANSITIONAL CONTINUITY GUARANTEE.—No individual currently receiving benefits under the programs affected by the reforms in subsections (b) through (d) shall experience any interruption of benefits during the transition period. The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall issue transitional guidance within sixty (60) days of enactment.
SEC. 502. THE AMERICAN PRODUCTIVITY DIVIDEND AND HOUSEHOLD RESILIENCE PROTOCOL.
(a) PROGRAM DESIGNATION AND GROUNDING.—There is established the Household Structural Relief Node, a monthly capitalization transfer grounded in the economic principle that the productive infrastructure of the United States — publicly funded roads, research, defense, judicial systems, and monetary stability — constitutes a national commons in which every resident has a legitimate economic stake. The HSRN is established pursuant to the Spending Clause (Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 1) and disbursed from the SIRF Household Endowment Node.
(b) ELIGIBILITY — CONTRIBUTION ACTIVITY REQUIREMENT.—Every United States resident household is eligible for the Household Structural Relief Node provided that at least one adult household member has engaged in Contribution Activity within the preceding twelve (12) months. For purposes of this section, "Contribution Activity" means any of the following: (1) paid employment or self-employment of any duration; (2) full-time caregiving for a child under 13, a dependent with a disability, or an adult over 65; (3) enrollment in an accredited educational or vocational training program; (4) registered volunteer service of not less than twenty (20) hours per month with a qualified nonprofit or civic organization; or (5) active military service or veteran status with honorable discharge within the preceding five (5) years.
(1) HOUSEHOLDS WITH NO ADULT MEMBER ABLE TO PERFORM CONTRIBUTION ACTIVITY.—Any household in which all adult members are certified by a licensed medical provider as unable to engage in Contribution Activity due to disability, serious illness, or caregiving for a severely disabled dependent shall receive the full HSRN without the Contribution Activity requirement.
(2) AUTOMATIC CONTRIBUTION ACTIVITY DETERMINATION.—The Social Security Administration shall maintain an automated Contribution Activity Verification System using existing SSA wage records, military service records, educational enrollment data, and disability certification files. No additional paperwork shall be required of households whose Contribution Activity is verifiable through existing federal data systems.
(c) AMERICAN PRODUCTIVITY DIVIDEND RATES.—Eligible households shall receive a monthly HSRN disbursement calculated as follows:
(1) BASE HOUSEHOLD RATE.—Six hundred dollars ($600) per month per eligible household, adjusted annually to the Sovereign Productivity Index;
(2) ADDITIONAL ADULT SUPPLEMENT.—One hundred fifty dollars ($150) per month for each additional adult household member above one, adjusted annually to the SPI;
(3) CHILD SUPPLEMENT.—Three hundred fifty dollars ($350) per month per dependent child under age eighteen (18), adjusted annually to the SPI;
(4) SENIOR SUPPLEMENT.—Two hundred fifty dollars ($250) per month for each household member age sixty-five (65) or older, coordinated with Social Security so as to supplement rather than replace existing benefits.
(d) DELIVERY MECHANISM — EXISTING FEDERAL INFRASTRUCTURE.—All HSRN disbursements shall be delivered exclusively through the existing payment infrastructure of the Social Security Administration and the Treasury Department's Direct Express and electronic funds transfer systems. No new payment rails, distribution agencies, or benefit administration platforms shall be constructed for HSRN delivery. The SSA and Treasury shall modify existing systems within twenty-four (24) months of enactment to accommodate HSRN disbursements.
(e) UNBREAKABLE ASSET PROTECTION.—HSRN disbursements and the underlying SIRF trust accounts are immune from private debt collection, bankruptcy liquidation, state or federal asset forfeiture, and administrative offsets.
(f) PILOT PROGRAM PHASING.—
(1) YEAR 1 PILOT.—HSRN deployed in the twenty-five (25) lowest-capital-velocity MSAs ranked by FDVM, limited to households already receiving federal assistance, to verify delivery system integration and SIRF revenue sufficiency.
(2) YEAR 2 EXPANSION.—Full HSRN deployment to all eligible households in all MSAs where regional capital velocity is below the national SPI median.
(3) YEAR 3 UNIVERSAL DEPLOYMENT.—Subject to SIRF revenue sufficiency certification under Section 005, HSRN deployed to all eligible households nationally.
(g) AUTOMATED LIQUIDITY VELOCITY TRIGGER.—If the regional capital velocity of any zip code or distinct community cohort demonstrates a downward trend exceeding one and one-half percent (1.5%) relative to the Sovereign Productivity Index over a rolling ninety (90) day window, the FDVM shall execute an immediate, automated twenty-five percent (25%) emergency escalation of liquidity injection into the affected cohort trust vehicles, subject to SIRF revenue availability certification.
(h) HOUSEHOLD ECONOMIC IMPACT PROJECTION.—The Congressional Budget Office shall publish, within one hundred twenty (120) days of enactment, a household-level economic impact model projecting the ten-year net fiscal effect of the HSRN, including projected local GDP multiplier effects, reductions in emergency public expenditure, and net SIRF revenue effects.
SEC. 503. THE SOVEREIGN CHILD PROSPERITY TRUST.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—There is established the Sovereign Child Prosperity Trust (SCPT), administered by the Department of the Treasury in coordination with the Social Security Administration.
(b) INITIAL CAPITALIZATION.—At birth, every child born to a United States resident shall automatically receive a Sovereign Child Prosperity Account funded with an initial deposit of five thousand dollars ($5,000) from the SIRF Household Endowment Node.
(c) INCOME-SCALED SUPPLEMENTAL DEPOSITS.—Annual supplemental deposits of not less than one thousand dollars ($1,000) shall be made into each SCPT account until the child reaches age eighteen (18), with deposits scaled up to two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) annually for accounts belonging to children in households below one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Sovereign Productivity Index median.
(d) ACCOUNT RESTRICTIONS.—SCPT funds shall be accessible to the account holder beginning at age eighteen (18) for the following purposes only:
(1) Higher education and vocational training costs;
(2) First-time primary residence homeownership down payment;
(3) Capitalization of a new domestic small business; or
(4) Unrestricted access beginning at age thirty (30).
(e) PROJECTED HOUSEHOLD BENEFIT.—Based on actuarial projections, a child born at enactment shall accumulate, with projected SPI-indexed returns, an account value of not less than thirty-two thousand dollars ($32,000) at age eighteen, representing a foundational wealth-building asset available to every American child regardless of family income.
SEC. 506. TRANSITIONAL HOUSEHOLD STABILITY GUARANTEE — NUTRITIONAL, SHELTER, AND UTILITY SECURITY FLOOR DURING THE SIRF RAMP.
(a) FINDINGS — PROTECTION OF THE ACT'S OWN ECONOMIC ASSUMPTIONS.—Congress finds that: (1) the poverty-reduction, household-wealth, and deficit-reduction benchmarks of this Act in Title XIX and Schedule D are predicated on a stable baseline of household food, shelter, and energy security during the multi-year period in which the Sovereign Infrastructure Reinvestment Fund (SIRF) enforcement-revenue streams come online; (2) an erosion of working-poor household stability during that ramp period — from any source — would corrupt the baseline against which this Act's performance is measured and undermine the bipartisan economic modeling required under Section 1903; and (3) a narrowly tailored, time-limited stability floor that holds essential-assistance levels constant during the ramp is therefore necessary to preserve the integrity of the Act's projected return on investment, not to expand any pre-existing program.
(b) NUTRITIONAL SECURITY FLOOR.—If, in any fiscal year during the SIRF Ramp Period defined in subsection (e), federal nutritional assistance funding available to households at or below one hundred thirty percent (130%) of the federal poverty guideline falls below the level required to maintain the enrollment and per-household benefit value in effect on the date of enactment of this Act, the SIRF Household Endowment Node shall automatically backfill the difference, up to the statutory floor, so that no qualifying household at or below 130% of the federal poverty guideline loses food assistance while this Act's poverty-reduction mechanisms are coming online. This backfill is a bridge guarantee tied to the benchmarks of this Act and shall sunset under subsection (e).
(c) SHELTER AND UTILITY STABILITY FLOORS.—On the same conditional and time-limited basis established in subsection (b), the SIRF Household Endowment Node shall backfill any shortfall below the date-of-enactment baseline in: (1) federal rental and homelessness-prevention assistance for households at or below 130% of the federal poverty guideline; and (2) federal low-income home energy and weatherization assistance for such households, coordinated with the Rural Energy Access Fund under Section 904(b). The combined backfill under subsections (b) and (c) shall not exceed the amount necessary to restore each assistance category to its date-of-enactment baseline.
(d) MECHANICAL, NON-DISCRETIONARY OPERATION.—The backfill under this section is a mandatory, formula-driven disbursement requiring no agency discretion. The FMIA shall publish a quarterly Household Stability Floor Report confirming, for each assistance category, whether a shortfall below baseline has occurred and the backfill amount disbursed. The guarantee operates only as a floor; it confers no entitlement above the date-of-enactment baseline and creates no new benefit category.
(e) SIRF RAMP PERIOD AND SUNSET.—For purposes of this section, the "SIRF Ramp Period" begins on the date of enactment and ends on the earlier of: (1) the first fiscal year in which the Congressional Budget Office certifies, under Section 005(a), that SIRF revenue is sufficient to fund all Tranche 1 mechanisms without recourse to the floor; or (2) the close of the sixth (6th) full fiscal year after enactment. Upon expiration of the SIRF Ramp Period, the guarantee in this section shall sunset automatically, except that any shortfall identified before sunset shall be backfilled to completion.
(f) NO PREEMPTION OF EXISTING PROGRAMS.—Nothing in this section repeals, replaces, or amends the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or any federal housing assistance program. This section operates solely as a transitional SIRF-funded floor protecting the economic baseline of this Act and is fully severable under Section 205.

Title XIV, Shelter Sovereignty & Housing Cap
›
Caps corporate ownership of single-family homes at 50 units per Metropolitan Statistical Area. Required divestments must pass through the volume absorption filter (V_abs ≤ 4.5% per quarter) to prevent market flooding. Ends the Wall Street landlord model without crashing the housing market.
TITLE XIV — SHELTER SOVEREIGNTY AND ANTI-COMMODIFICATION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 1401. DIVESTMENT TRIGGERS FOR INSTITUTIONAL PRIVATE EQUITY HOUSING MONOPOLIES.
(a) SINGLE-FAMILY PORTFOLIO CONCENTRATION CAP.—No private equity firm, real estate investment trust (REIT), institutional aggregator, or corporate entity shall own, lease, or hold a structural interest in more than fifty (50) single-family residential housing units within any single Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) within the United States.
(b) THE 180-DAY MARKET DIVESTMENT SCHEDULE.—Any corporate real estate aggregation crossing this threshold shall trigger an automatic reportable variance by the FDVM. The entity shall be granted a maximum of one hundred eighty (180) calendar days to cure the violation through voluntary market liquidation sales exclusively to primary-residence homebuyers, at prices not to exceed one hundred ten percent (110%) of independent appraised value.
(b-1) QUARTERLY VOLUME ABSORPTION FILTER (V_abs ≤ 4.5%).—To prevent forced-liquidation asset dumps from crashing local housing markets, the FMIA shall enforce a mandatory volume absorption ceiling: no Covered Entity undergoing divestment under this section shall liquidate more than four and one-half percent (4.5%) of the total single-family residential units transacted in the applicable MSA in the preceding rolling twelve (12) months ("V_abs") in any single calendar quarter. If the entity's divestment schedule would exceed V_abs in any quarter, the FMIA shall automatically extend the 180-day cure window by additional 90-day increments, not to exceed a total of twenty-four (24) months from the initial variance trigger, until V_abs compliance is achievable. Properties subject to extended cure windows shall be placed under FMIA-supervised escrow management during the extension period.
(c) GRANDFATHER PROTECTION FOR SMALL INVESTORS.—Individual investors and family trusts owning fewer than ten (10) single-family residential units in total, regardless of MSA, are expressly excluded from the concentration cap and from all enforcement actions under this section.
(d) LEGITIMATE COMMERCIAL RENTAL HOUSING.—Nothing in this section shall apply to apartment buildings, multi-family housing complexes of four (4) or more units, senior housing facilities, student housing, or housing operated by nonprofit organizations with a primary mission of providing affordable housing.
SEC. 1402. CONSTITUTIONAL JUST COMPENSATION MECHANICS.
(a) THE RE-ARCHITECTED APPRAISAL FRAMEWORK.—If an institutional portfolio remains non-compliant after the 180-day cure period, the properties exceeding the cap shall undergo automated divestment, accompanied by mandatory just compensation calculated as the greater of:
(1) The fair market value as determined by an independent appraisal conducted by a court-certified appraiser within ninety (90) days of the divestment trigger date; or
(2) The holder's documented acquisition cost plus a real rate of return equal to the 10-year Treasury yield compounded annually from the date of acquisition to the date of divestment trigger.
(b) THE PROTECTION NODE BACKSTOP.—All compensation payouts under this section shall be disbursed from a dedicated two billion dollar ($2,000,000,000) Shelter Sovereignty Compensation Reserve established within the SIRF, avoiding any claims of uncompensated regulatory takings.
(c) CONSTITUTIONAL TAKINGS ARBITRATION.—Any Covered Entity disputing the just compensation calculation under subsection (a) shall have the right to arbitration before a three-member panel: one member selected by the entity, one by the FMIA, and one by mutual agreement. Arbitration decisions shall be final and binding, subject only to constitutional due process review by a United States District Court.
(d) NINETY-DAY ARBITRATION MANDATE.—The arbitration panel shall issue a final valuation determination within ninety (90) calendar days of petition filing. Failure to decide within ninety days constitutes a default ruling adopting the FMIA-certified appraisal value.
(e) LITIGATION STAY PROHIBITION.—A pending valuation dispute shall not constitute grounds for a stay, injunction, or delay of the underlying divestment order. The divesting entity's exclusive remedy is monetary compensation; injunctive relief against the divestment itself is not available in any federal forum, consistent with the ALJ Judicial Verification Warrant framework of Section 1601(c). During arbitration, the FMIA shall deposit the undisputed compensation amount into a dedicated interest-bearing escrow account pending final resolution.
(f) COMPENSATION RESERVE FLOOR.—The Shelter Sovereignty Compensation Reserve shall be maintained at not less than ten billion dollars ($10,000,000,000) upon full enforcement activation, replenished from Sovereign Evasion Assessment revenues as needed.
SEC. 1403. COMMUNITY LAND TRUST CAPITALIZATION AND FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYER SOVEREIGNTY.
(a) COMMUNITY LAND TRUST GRANTS.—The SIRF Household Endowment Node shall deploy not less than one billion dollars ($1,000,000,000) annually to capitalize community land trusts and nonprofit affordable housing developers, with priority for trusts operating in MSAs where institutional portfolio concentration has exceeded the fifty-unit cap.
(b) FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYER SOVEREIGN ASSISTANCE.—Any United States resident who has not owned a primary residence in the preceding five (5) years and whose household income does not exceed two hundred percent (200%) of the area median income shall be eligible for:
(1) A direct down payment assistance grant of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) from the SIRF Household Endowment Node; and
(2) Access to a thirty-year sovereign mortgage at a fixed interest rate equal to the 10-year Treasury yield plus one percent (1%), administered by the Federal Housing Administration.
(c) STRUCTURAL RENT BASELINE ENFORCEMENT.—In any MSA where the FDVM verifies that institutional portfolio concentration exceeds the cap and rents exceed the Structural Rent Baseline by more than fifteen percent (15%), the FMIA shall impose an automatic Rent Extraction Levy equal to twenty percent (20%) of the excess rent collected above the Structural Rent Baseline, routed to the SIRF to fund direct rental assistance to affected tenants.

Title XXII, PE Critical Systems Protection
›
Private equity is permanently banned from owning hospitals, emergency medical services, 911 call centers, and nursing homes. Existing PE-owned critical infrastructure must divest within the statutory notice window. $1B SIRF reserve pre-funds the stability buffer during transition.
TITLE XXII — SOVEREIGN CRITICAL SYSTEMS PROTECTION AND PRIVATE EQUITY ACCOUNTABILITY ACT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 2201. FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF CRITICAL SYSTEMS SOVEREIGNTY.
Congress finds and declares the following:
(1) The acquisition of acute care hospitals, emergency medical services, nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, and public safety answering points by private equity investment funds and leveraged buyout entities has produced documented patterns of service reduction, staff elimination, debt loading, and facility closure that constitute a direct threat to the life-safety and health sovereignty of the United States population.
(2) Emergency medical and public safety infrastructure upon which the lives of Americans depend in moments of acute crisis constitutes a category of critical national infrastructure in which the profit-extraction model inherent to leveraged acquisition creates structural misalignment between investor incentives and the public safety mission of those systems.
(3) Congress has authority to prohibit the private equity acquisition of critical life-safety systems under the Commerce Clause (Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 3), the Spending Clause (Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 1) as a condition of Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, and existing constitutional precedent permitting ownership restrictions on infrastructure whose operation is affected with a public interest.
SEC. 2202. DEFINITIONS — TITLE XXII.
As used in this Title:
(1) PRIVATE EQUITY ACQUISITION ENTITY.—Any private equity fund, leveraged buyout vehicle, special purpose acquisition company, management buyout fund, or affiliated investment vehicle that derives more than fifty percent (50%) of its capital from institutional investors and employs a leveraged acquisition strategy in which acquisition debt is placed on the balance sheet of the acquired entity.

(b) PROSPECTIVE PROHIBITION.—Effective upon enactment, no Private Equity Acquisition Entity may enter into any new acquisition, merger, or control agreement with respect to any Critical Life-Safety System enumerated in subsection (a), regardless of transaction structure.
SEC. 2204. CONSTITUTIONAL GROUNDING AND ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY.
(a) THREE-PILLAR CONSTITUTIONAL BASIS.—The prohibitions and divestiture requirements of this Title are grounded in:
(1) COMMERCE CLAUSE.—The interstate commercial operations of private equity funds and the Critical Life-Safety Systems they acquire constitute interstate commerce subject to comprehensive congressional regulation under Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 3.
(2) SPENDING CLAUSE CONDITIONS.—Participation in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement is conditioned upon compliance with this Title. Any Critical Life-Safety System that fails to divest from Private Equity Acquisition Entity ownership within the applicable Compliance Window shall be ineligible for Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement commencing on the day following the expiration of the Compliance Window, until full compliance is demonstrated.
(3) CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE PRECEDENT.—Congress has established constitutional precedent for ownership restrictions on infrastructure operated in the public interest, including banking, telecommunications, aviation, and nuclear power. Critical Life-Safety Systems constitute an analogous category warranting equivalent ownership standards.
(b) ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.—The Department of Health and Human Services, the Federal Trade Commission, and the FMIA shall exercise concurrent enforcement authority over this Title. The Department of Justice Antitrust Division shall have concurrent authority to challenge any acquisition in violation of this Title in federal district court.

SEC. 2205. JUST COMPENSATION AND TRANSITION SUPPORT.
(a) FAIR MARKET VALUE.—Nothing in this Title constitutes a taking without just compensation within the meaning of the Fifth Amendment. Divesting entities are entitled to receive fair market value for divested Critical Life-Safety System assets through arms-length sale, cooperative conversion, nonprofit conversion, or public acquisition. The federal government does not set the sale price.
(b) TRANSITION TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE.—The Department of Health and Human Services shall establish a Critical Systems Transition Office providing no-cost technical assistance to Critical Life-Safety Systems undergoing ownership transition, including guidance on nonprofit conversion, cooperative structure, municipal ownership, and alternative financing.
SEC. 2206. VITAL SYSTEMS TRANSITION RESERVE.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—There is established within the SIRF a dedicated sub-account to be known as the Vital Systems Transition Reserve (VSTR).
(b) MANDATORY PRE-FUNDING.—The VSTR shall be capitalized at not less than one billion dollars ($1,000,000,000) from the SIRF Industrial Infrastructure Node prior to the commencement of any enforcement action or Medicare and Medicaid exclusion under Section 2204(a)(2). No enforcement clock under this Title shall begin until VSTR funding is certified by the FMIA.
(c) ELIGIBLE USES.—VSTR funds shall be available exclusively for: (1) zero-equity bridge grants to Critical Life-Safety Systems in financial distress during ownership transition; (2) rural hospital stabilization under Section 2203(a)(6); (3) workforce retention grants to prevent employee layoffs during divestiture periods; and (4) technical infrastructure upgrades necessary to maintain service continuity during ownership transition.
(d) SCHEDULE D BENCHMARKS — TITLE XXII.—The FMIA shall report biennially on: (1) number of Critical Life-Safety Systems divested from private equity ownership; (2) number of rural hospitals stabilized through VSTR; (3) no patient access disruption attributable to ownership transition.

TITLE XV — COGNITIVE EMANCIPATION AND KNOWLEDGE SOVEREIGNTY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 1501. RETIREMENT OF PREDATORY STUDENT DEBT.
(a) INTEREST ACCRUAL ELIMINATION.—All interest accrual on outstanding federal student lending instruments is permanently reduced to zero percent (0%) effective on the first day of the month following enactment. No retroactive interest charges, capitalized interest, or deferred interest accrued prior to enactment shall be assessed on federal loan instruments held by borrowers with annual incomes below one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the SPI median.
(b) ENDOWMENT CLAWBACK VECTOR.—The Department of Education shall execute an automated clawback assessment against the unrestricted financial endowments of post-secondary educational institutions that demonstrate a persistent structural variance between tuition cost growth and the median regional wage velocity of their graduates. The clawback assessment shall equal fifteen percent (15%) of the excess tuition growth rate above regional wage velocity, applied to unrestricted endowment assets.
(c) INCOME-BASED FORGIVENESS PATHWAY.—Any federal student loan borrower whose annual income for five (5) or more consecutive years has been below one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the federal poverty guideline shall receive automatic discharge of the remaining principal balance, administered by the Department of Education within one hundred eighty (180) days of eligibility verification, capitalized from the SIRF Knowledge Sovereignty Node.
SEC. 1502. VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION AND COMPENSATED DISCHARGE.
(a) SPENDING CLAUSE GROUNDING.—Pursuant to the Spending Clause of Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 and Clause 18 (Necessary and Proper Clause), the retroactive discharge of predatory interest accrued on privately held federal loan instruments (FFELP) shall be structured as a voluntary participation transaction. Private loan servicers shall be compensated at par value from the Knowledge Sovereignty Endowment within the SIRF in exchange for total debt cancellation, completely avoiding Contracts Clause exposure.
(b) SOUTH DAKOTA V. DOLE COMPLIANCE.—The participation requirement established under subsection (a) satisfies the four-part test of South Dakota v. Dole, 483 U.S. 203 (1987): (1) the expenditure serves the general welfare; (2) conditions are unambiguous; (3) conditions relate to the federal interest in particular national projects; and (4) conditions do not induce unconstitutionally coercive compliance.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 705. PESTICIDE AND AGRICULTURAL CHEMICAL PHASE-OUT.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that the accumulation of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and persistent agricultural chemicals in domestic soil, water, and the food supply constitutes a structural threat to caloric infrastructure, public health, and long-term agricultural productivity.
(b) PROHIBITED SUBSTANCES SCHEDULE — SCIENCE PREDICATE AND RULEMAKING GATE.—The Department of Agriculture, in coordination with the Environmental Protection Agency, shall, through notice-and-comment rulemaking under 5 U.S.C. § 553, publish within one hundred eighty (180) days of enactment a Prohibited Agricultural Chemical Schedule. A chemical may be listed only upon a documented, peer-reviewed finding of persistence, bioaccumulation, or human or ecological toxicity, and the Schedule shall prioritize substances that have been formally prohibited or restricted by two (2) or more G7 nations based on such documented risk. Each listing shall be supported by a published administrative record and is subject to judicial review under 5 U.S.C. § 706. No listing shall take effect until the rulemaking is final.
(c) PHASE-OUT TIMELINE AND ALTERNATIVE-AVAILABILITY SAFEGUARD.—Listed substances shall be subject to a graduated phase-out: a fifty percent (50%) reduction in permitted application volume within three (3) years of listing, and full prohibition within six (6) years. Where the Secretary, after notice and comment, certifies in writing that no commercially viable domestic alternative exists for a particular use, the phase-out for that use shall be stayed and extended in two-year increments until a viable alternative is certified available, so that no producer is left without a lawful means of production. This subsection is designed to satisfy the rational-basis and regulatory-takings standards applicable to economic regulation.
(d) AGRICULTURAL PESTICIDE TRANSITION SUPPORT.—There is established within the SIRF Agricultural Sovereignty Node an Agricultural Pesticide Transition Support program, funded as a component of the twenty billion dollar ($20,000,000,000) annual National Food System Detoxification and Soil Sovereignty allocation under Section 3406(c)(3), to provide transition grants, integrated pest management technical assistance, and crop-loss insurance to domestic producers converting away from prohibited substances. No producer with gross annual revenue below two million dollars ($2,000,000) shall bear net out-of-pocket conversion costs.
(e) ENFORCEMENT.—Application of a prohibited substance after its full-prohibition date, where a commercially viable alternative has been certified available under subsection (c), is a strict liability violation subject to penalties of not less than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per violation, assessed only after the pre-deprivation notice and review protections of Title XVIII, and routed to the SIRF Agricultural Sovereignty Node and credited to the Transition Support program.
SEC. 706. REGIONAL FOOD SYSTEM INFRASTRUCTURE.

TITLE IX — SOVEREIGN ENERGY AND ADVANCED FISSION INFRASTRUCTURE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 901. MANDATORY NUCLEAR AND RENEWABLE ENERGY OFFSETS FOR INDUSTRIAL COMPUTE LOADS.
(a) IN GENERAL.—Any Covered Entity constructing, operating, or maintaining a digital compute node, data center, server array, or artificial intelligence foundry with an aggregate power draw exceeding thirty (30) megawatts within the United States is legally required to capitalize, construct, and integrate a co-located Small Modular Reactor (SMR) or Advanced Fission Infrastructure facility, or satisfy the alternative compliance path under subsection (c).
(b) THE GRID PARITY REQUIREMENT.—The co-located SMR facility must possess a minimum generation capacity equal to one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the data foundry's peak operational power load. The excess ten percent (10%) of baseload electrical generation shall be hardcoded to route directly into regional civilian power grids at zero cost to local residential consumers.
(c) ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE PATH.—In lieu of constructing a co-located SMR facility, a Covered Entity may satisfy the requirements of subsection (a) by:
(1) Executing a long-term power purchase agreement with a domestically operated SMR, advanced fission, or utility-scale renewable energy facility for one hundred and ten percent (110%) of its peak power load; and
(2) Depositing forty percent (40%) of the estimated SMR or renewable project construction costs into the SIRF Energy Sovereignty Node as a capitalization contribution.
SEC. 902. ADMINISTRATIVE AND TRANSITIONAL LICENSING SAFE HARBORS.
(a) THE 36-MONTH STANDARD TRANSITIONAL WINDOW.—A Covered Entity shall be granted an initial thirty-six (36) month penalty-free transitional window from the date of initial compute load activation to achieve full SMR, advanced fission, or qualifying renewable energy compliance. No extension of this window is available for corporate, financing, or supply chain reasons.
(b) STATUTORY SAFE HARBOR CONDITIONS.—A Covered Entity shall be immune to the financial penalty triggers of section 903 during this 36-month window, provided the following metrics are continuously verified by the FDVM:
(1) ESCROW CAPITALIZATION.—The Covered Entity has executed an un-rescindable capital expenditure commitment transferring exactly forty percent (40%) of total estimated SMR or renewable construction costs into a locked escrow account managed by the SIRF.
(2) APPLICATION SUBMISSION.—The Covered Entity has submitted a contractually binding site-design and safety application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) or relevant renewable permitting authority, with physical site-breaking commenced within twelve (12) months of compute load activation.
(c) REGULATORY DELAY EXTENSION — LIMITED AND PENALIZED.—A Covered Entity that has satisfied all safe harbor conditions under subsection (b) and whose non-compliance at month 36 is attributable solely to documented federal regulatory delay — meaning the NRC or relevant permitting authority has failed to issue a final licensing decision on a complete application despite the NRC expedited track established in subsection (d) — may apply to the FMIA for a Regulatory Delay Extension of not more than twenty-four (24) additional months. During any approved Regulatory Delay Extension:
(1) The Phase I financial penalty of four and one-half percent (4.5%) of gross quarterly corporate revenue under Section 903(a)(1) shall apply immediately and continuously from month 37 forward throughout the extension, regardless of regulatory status; and
(2) The FMIA shall simultaneously escalate funding to the NRC from the SIRF Energy Sovereignty Node to eliminate the regulatory backlog causing the delay.
No Regulatory Delay Extension shall be granted where the cause of delay is attributable to incomplete applications, litigation initiated by the Covered Entity, or failure to commence site preparation.
(d) INTERIM RENEWABLE BRIDGE REQUIREMENT — MANDATORY FROM DAY ONE.—During the entire transitional window and any approved extension, any Covered Entity that has not yet achieved SMR or renewable compliance shall procure one hundred percent (100%) verified renewable energy certificates covering its full operational power load from the date of compute activation until SMR or renewable compliance is achieved. Failure to maintain renewable bridge procurement shall immediately forfeit safe harbor protection and engage the full penalty matrix of Section 903.
(d) NRC ACCELERATED REVIEW MANDATE.—The Nuclear Regulatory Commission shall establish, within one hundred eighty (180) days of enactment, an expedited licensing track for SMR facilities co-located with data centers and AI foundries, with a target review and decision timeline of not more than twenty-four (24) months from complete application submission. Funding for NRC staff augmentation necessary to achieve this timeline shall be drawn automatically from the SIRF Energy Sovereignty Node.
(e) MANDATORY GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS BACKSTOP.—If an SMR project is delayed solely due to a federal agency's administrative backlog or regulatory standstill, funding to accelerate the licensing review pipeline shall be drawn automatically as a mandatory, self-executing statutory outlay from the SIRF energy node, bypassing the discretionary appropriations cycle.
SEC. 903. GRADUATED PENALTY MATRIX AND JUDICIAL ENFORCEMENT.
(a) GRADUATED FINANCIAL CLAWBACK.—If a Covered Entity fails to achieve compliance within the 36-month transitional window (or within any approved Regulatory Delay Extension under section 902(c)) due to corporate negligence, supply chain failure, or non-compliance with the safe harbor metrics of section 902(b) and (d), the following enforcement timeline shall engage:
(1) MONTHS 37 THROUGH 42 (NON-COMPLIANCE PHASE I).—An automated structural-variance fee equal to four and one-half percent (4.5%) of the data foundry's gross quarterly corporate revenue shall be seized directly from source electronic clearances at the end of each fiscal quarter. This penalty also applies during any approved Regulatory Delay Extension per section 902(c)(1).
(2) MONTHS 43 THROUGH 48 (NON-COMPLIANCE PHASE II).—The structural-variance fee shall automatically escalate to eight and one-half percent (8.5%) of gross quarterly corporate revenue, and the data foundry's permissible power draw from the public civil grid shall be reduced by exactly twenty-five percent (25%) pursuant to subsection (b).
(3) MONTH 49 AND FORWARD (SUSTAINED NON-COMPLIANCE JUDICIAL ENFORCEMENT).—If a Covered Entity remains non-compliant due to corporate negligence or willful non-compliance (as distinguished from documented regulatory delay for which section 902(c) provides a penalized extension), the FMIA shall refer the matter to the United States District Court for the district in which the primary data center facility is located. The FMIA may apply for an expedited order of operational restriction, to be adjudicated on a seventy-two (72) hour track. The District Court may, upon clear and convincing evidence of willful non-compliance and consideration of the public interest, issue an order restricting the data center's public grid power draw by not more than fifty percent (50%) until compliance is achieved. Total operational suspension shall require a separate court order finding that partial restriction has failed to achieve compliance within ninety (90) additional days.
(b) GRID POWER REDUCTION MECHANISM.—Any grid power reduction under subsection (a)(2) or a court order under subsection (a)(3) shall be implemented through the relevant regional transmission organization or independent system operator in coordination with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and shall not constitute an unconstitutional taking where the reduction is limited to penalty periods and the Covered Entity retains the ability to procure power from alternative non-grid sources.
SEC. 904. RESIDENTIAL ENERGY SOVEREIGNTY DIVIDEND.
(a) MANDATE.—All excess electricity generation routed to civilian grids under the grid parity requirement of Section 901(b) shall be credited to residential ratepayers within the applicable regional grid zone. Credits shall be applied as direct monthly reductions to residential electricity bills, calculated as the pro-rata share of excess generation attributable to each residential meter.
(b) RURAL ENERGY ACCESS FUND.—The SIRF Energy Sovereignty Node shall deploy not less than seven hundred fifty million dollars ($750,000,000) over five fiscal years to capitalize weatherization, energy efficiency, and rural electrification upgrades for households with annual incomes below two hundred percent (200%) of the federal poverty guideline.
(c) PROJECTED HOUSEHOLD SAVINGS.—Based on Congressional Research Service modeling, the combined effect of SMR grid parity injections, residential credits, and energy efficiency upgrades is projected to reduce average residential energy expenditure by not less than eighteen percent (18%) annually for eligible households within ten years of full program deployment.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 905. INTELLIGENT NATIONAL GRID MODERNIZATION.
(a) PURPOSE.—To secure domestic energy sovereignty and resilience, there is established an Intelligent National Grid Modernization program, funded at twenty-five billion dollars ($25,000,000,000) per year from the SIRF Energy Sovereignty Node pursuant to Section 3406(c)(1).

Title XXIII, Sovereign Trade & Allied Diplomacy
›
Sovereign trade architecture. USTR directed to negotiate allied pricing compacts within 90 days. WTO-compliant sovereign procurement preferences for domestic production. Diplomatic framework protecting American workers and supply chains without triggering trade wars.
TITLE XXIII — SOVEREIGN TRADE AND ALLIED DIPLOMATIC ARCHITECTURE ACT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 2301. FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF TRADE SOVEREIGNTY.
Congress finds and declares the following:
(1) The primary mechanism by which domestic manufacturing employment has been structurally displaced is not comparative advantage in the classical sense, but rather systematic wage arbitrage enabled by the absence of labor rights, environmental protections, and safety standards in competitor nations — creating an artificial cost differential that disadvantages American workers not through productivity but through regulatory subsidization of foreign production.
(2) Any trade enforcement mechanism that raises consumer prices without addressing the underlying structural wage subsidy driving offshoring is an inefficient and regressive instrument. The preferred instrument is a wage equalization assessment targeting the subsidy itself.
(3) The United States shall prioritize diplomatic engagement with democratic allied nations before imposing any trade restriction, and shall design all trade instruments to be WTO-consistent or to pursue WTO reform through multilateral channels rather than unilateral violation.
SEC. 2302. DEFINITIONS — TITLE XXIII.
As used in this Title:
(1) WAGE EQUALIZATION ASSESSMENT (WEA).—The targeted levy established under Section 2303 of this Act, assessed on imported goods from non-designated nations, calibrated to offset the effective wage subsidy created by suppressed labor rights in the country of origin rather than to protect specific domestic industries.
(2) DESIGNATED ALLIED NATION.—Any nation party to a bilateral or multilateral trade agreement with the United States that includes enforceable labor rights standards equivalent to ILO Core Conventions, enumerated in Schedule G of this Act.
(3) USTR.—The United States Trade Representative, acting pursuant to the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. § 2411 et seq.) and this Act.
(4) ALLIED PHARMACEUTICAL PRICING COMPACT.—The multilateral pharmaceutical pricing transparency agreement framework established under Section 2305 of this Act.
SEC. 2303. WAGE EQUALIZATION ASSESSMENT — STRUCTURE AND SAFEGUARDS.
(a) ASSESSMENT MANDATE.—There is established a Wage Equalization Assessment on imports of manufactured goods from nations not designated as Allied Nations under Section 2302(2), calculated as follows:
(1) BASELINE CALCULATION.—The FMIA shall calculate, for each non-designated trading partner, the effective labor cost differential between the median manufacturing wage in that nation and the median manufacturing wage in the United States, adjusted for productivity, purchasing power parity, and verified compliance with ILO Core Conventions.
(2) ASSESSMENT RATE.—The WEA rate for each non-designated nation shall equal sixty percent (60%) of the calculated labor cost differential expressed as a percentage of the import value of covered goods, capped at a maximum of twenty-five percent (25%) of import value in any category.
(3) CONSUMER PRICE PROTECTION.—The FMIA shall publish quarterly a Consumer Price Impact Assessment for each active WEA rate. If the FMIA determines that a WEA rate is producing a statistically significant increase in consumer prices for essential goods — defined as food, medicine, children's products, and housing materials — the FMIA shall notify Congress within thirty (30) days and reduce the applicable WEA rate to a consumer-neutral level pending legislative review.
(b) USITC PRE-SCORE GATE AND WTO COMPLIANCE.—
(1) USITC PRE-ACTIVATION CERTIFICATION.—No WEA shall activate against any non-designated nation unless and until the United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has issued a written Pre-Score Determination finding, on the basis of an independent economic analysis, that: (A) the calculated labor cost differential for that nation meets the threshold criteria established under subsection (a)(1); (B) activation of the WEA is consistent with United States obligations under WTO Article XX(b) (necessary to protect human life or health) or WTO Article XX(e) (relating to prison labor); and (C) the projected consumer price impact does not trigger the consumer-neutral threshold under subsection (a)(3). The USITC shall complete the Pre-Score Determination for each applicable non-designated nation within ninety (90) days of receiving a referral from the FMIA. No executive agency may waive or substitute for the USITC Pre-Score Determination required under this paragraph.
(2) USTR WTO COMPLIANCE FILING.—Following a favorable USITC Pre-Score Determination under paragraph (1), and prior to WEA activation, the USTR shall certify in writing to Congress that the assessment is consistent with the applicable WTO Article XX exception identified in the USITC Pre-Score Determination, or that WTO dispute proceedings have been initiated to establish such compliance. The USTR shall file this certification within thirty (30) days of the USITC Pre-Score Determination.
(3) CONGRESSIONAL NOTIFICATION.—The FMIA shall transmit both the USITC Pre-Score Determination and the USTR certification to the relevant congressional committees of jurisdiction within five (5) business days of receipt. WEA activation shall not proceed until both documents have been transmitted to Congress.
(c) DIPLOMATIC ENGAGEMENT PERIOD.—Prior to the activation of the WEA against any specific non-designated nation, the USTR shall conduct a mandatory ninety (90) day diplomatic engagement period during which the United States shall offer bilateral labor rights improvement frameworks as an alternative to WEA activation. Nations that enter into a binding bilateral labor rights agreement meeting ILO Core Convention standards within the ninety-day period shall be reclassified as Designated Allied Nations and exempted from the WEA.
(d) ALLY-FIRST TIERED ARCHITECTURE.—The following categories of nations shall receive preferential treatment in all trade enforcement actions under this Title:
(1) Tier 1 — Full exemption from WEA: Nations party to USMCA, G7 members, Five Eyes alliance members, and democratic Indo-Pacific partners with verified ILO Core Convention compliance;
(2) Tier 2 — Reduced WEA rate (thirty percent (30%) of calculated differential): Nations with bilateral trade agreements with the United States that include labor rights provisions, regardless of ILO full compliance;
(3) Tier 3 — Full WEA rate: All other non-designated nations.
(e) REVENUE ALLOCATION.—All WEA revenue shall be deposited into the SIRF Industrial Infrastructure Node and dedicated to domestic manufacturing workforce development, with not less than fifty percent (50%) allocated to retraining programs for workers in import-affected industries.
SEC. 2304. SOVEREIGN DEFENSE EFFICIENCY COMMISSION.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—There is established an independent commission to be known as the Sovereign Defense Efficiency Commission (SDEC).
(b) COMPOSITION.—The SDEC shall consist of nine (9) members appointed by the President by and with the advice and consent of the Senate: three (3) members with demonstrated expertise in defense acquisition and procurement; two (2) members with expertise in federal budgeting and fiscal policy; two (2) members with expertise in military operations; and two (2) members representing organized labor in the defense industrial base. No more than five (5) members shall be of the same political party.
(c) AUTHORITY.—The SDEC shall have authority to:
(1) Conduct binding audits of Department of Defense weapons system procurement programs where cost growth exceeds fifteen percent (15%) above the original program baseline cost estimate;
(2) Issue Efficiency Orders requiring restructuring, cancellation, or renegotiation of procurement contracts, base realignment, reduction of duplicative information technology systems across military branches, and reduction of contractor overhead rates where such rates exceed documented industry benchmarks by more than twenty percent (20%);
(3) Recommend to Congress annual defense efficiency savings targets based on verified audit findings.
(d) BINDING IMPLEMENTATION MECHANISM.—Each Efficiency Order issued by the SDEC shall take effect ninety (90) calendar days after issuance unless Congress passes a joint resolution of disapproval by a two-thirds (2/3) supermajority of the voting members of both the House of Representatives and the Senate within sixty (60) days. The burden of legislative action lies with those opposing efficiency implementation, not with the SDEC. A joint resolution of disapproval shall be presented to the President pursuant to Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution. The President may sign or veto the resolution; Congress may override a presidential veto by a two-thirds vote of both chambers pursuant to standard constitutional procedure. To preserve implementation velocity, both chambers shall apply expedited consideration procedures: the resolution shall be placed on the calendar within ten (10) legislative days of introduction, debate shall be limited to four (4) hours per chamber, and no amendments shall be in order. This structure preserves full presidential review while preventing filibuster-based obstruction of validated efficiency orders.
(e) SAVINGS ALLOCATION.—Net documented savings from SDEC Efficiency Orders shall be deposited into the SIRF upon verification by the Government Accountability Office, with not less than fifty percent (50%) allocated to the SIRF Veterans Sovereignty Node established in Title XXV.
(f) SINGLE-SUBJECT CLEAN BILL REQUIREMENT.—Any joint resolution of disapproval of an SDEC order shall: (1) identify by name the specific SDEC order being disapproved; (2) contain no provisions unrelated to that specific order; and (3) not be attached to or packaged with any appropriations bill, omnibus spending measure, continuing resolution, or unrelated legislation. The Parliamentarian of each chamber shall certify single-subject compliance before floor consideration.
(g) AUTOMATIC RE-EVALUATION.—If Congress successfully passes a joint resolution of disapproval, the SDEC shall automatically re-evaluate the subject matter of the disapproved order not later than twenty-four (24) months after the date of disapproval and may re-issue the same order, a modified order, or decline to re-issue. A re-issued order is subject to the same two-thirds supermajority disapproval mechanism, ensuring that no weapons system or contractor arrangement is permanently immunized from SDEC efficiency review.
(f) PROJECTED SAVINGS.—The SDEC is projected to generate not less than forty billion dollars ($40,000,000,000) in annual savings by the fifth year of operation, based on GAO analysis of existing DoD cost overrun patterns. These projections shall be independently verified biennially by the CBO.
SEC. 2305. ALLIED PHARMACEUTICAL PRICING COMPACT.
(a) DIRECTIVE.—Within ninety (90) days of enactment, the United States Trade Representative shall initiate formal negotiations with G7 nations, Australia, South Korea, and Taiwan toward a multilateral Allied Pharmaceutical Pricing Compact establishing:
(1) Mutual transparency in pharmaceutical pricing data, including manufacturer list prices, net prices after rebates, and public payer reimbursement rates;
(2) Coordinated baseline pricing standards preventing pharmaceutical manufacturers from raising prices in allied nations in response to US price reform;
(3) Joint negotiating frameworks for novel therapeutics in categories where no generic alternative exists;
(4) Anti-evasion provisions preventing pharmaceutical manufacturers from restructuring distribution chains to circumvent pricing standards.
(b) BILATERAL AGREEMENT DEADLINE.—The USTR shall achieve binding bilateral pharmaceutical pricing transparency agreements with not fewer than two (2) G7 partners within twenty-four (24) months of enactment.
(c) FAILURE TRIGGER.—If the USTR fails to achieve the bilateral agreement threshold in subsection (b) within twenty-four (24) months, the Innovation Protection Period provisions of Title XIII shall automatically activate as the fallback enforcement mechanism.
(d) CONGRESSIONAL REPORTING.—The USTR shall report to Congress every six (6) months on the status of Compact negotiations, including obstacles encountered and adjustments to negotiating strategy.
(e) SCHEDULE D BENCHMARKS — TITLE XXIII.—The FMIA shall report biennially on: (1) number of allied nations participating in the Allied Pharmaceutical Pricing Compact; (2) number of manufacturing jobs in import-affected industries supported by WEA revenue retraining programs; (3) verified annual SDEC efficiency savings.

TITLE VIII — SOVEREIGN MOBILITY AND KINETIC INFRASTRUCTURE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 801. GIG ECONOMY PLATFORM DISPLACEMENT AND UTILITY STATUS.
(a) CLASSIFICATION AS PUBLIC KINETIC UTILITY NETWORKS.—Digital transport networks, automated on-demand logistics interfaces, and gig-economy dispatch algorithms operating within the United States are formally classified as Public Kinetic Utility Networks. They are recognized as critical civil mobility channels that are immune to private rent-seeking enclosure.
(b) ANTI-RENT SEEKING MECHANICAL LIMITS.—The FDVM shall log real-time data from all public kinetic utilities. It is a strict liability violation for any utility network operator to apply algorithmic pricing models that execute:
(1) Surge inflation of customer transit fees exceeding a two and one-half percent (2.5%) variance from the 36-month regional baseline; or
(2) Dynamic downward compression or throttling of driver compensation metrics below the true Sovereign Productivity Index labor baseline.
(c) THE AUTOMATED CLAWBACK VECTOR.—Violation of the limits specified in subsection (b) shall engage an immediate electronic clearance freeze against the platform operator. An automated structural-variance fee equal to eight and one-half percent (8.5%) of gross platform revenue for the non-compliant period shall be seized and redirected to the SIRF to fund municipal transit networks and driver-owned transport cooperatives.
SEC. 802. NATIONAL BROADBAND SOVEREIGNTY MANDATE.
(a) UNIVERSAL BROADBAND ACCESS AS INFRASTRUCTURE RIGHT.—High-speed broadband internet access, at minimum speeds of one hundred megabits per second (100 Mbps) download and twenty megabits per second (20 Mbps) upload, is declared a foundational infrastructure right of every United States resident, equivalent to electrical grid access and public water supply.
(b) BROADBAND SOVEREIGNTY FUND.—The SIRF industrial capitalization node shall deploy not less than two billion dollars ($2,000,000,000) over five fiscal years to capitalize the construction of publicly owned broadband infrastructure in unserved and underserved communities, prioritizing rural areas, tribal lands, and persistently low-capital-velocity urban zones.
(c) PRICE GOUGING PROHIBITION.—No Covered Entity providing retail broadband internet services shall charge residential customers in any zip code more than one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the median retail broadband price charged in the three highest-competition markets in that state, as calculated quarterly by the FMIA.
(d) OPEN ACCESS MANDATE.—Any broadband infrastructure constructed with SIRF capital under this section shall be operated on an open-access wholesale basis, allowing any qualified retail service provider to lease infrastructure capacity at cost-plus-ten-percent (cost + 10%) rates, ensuring competitive retail markets.
SEC. 803. SOVEREIGN PASSENGER RAIL EXPANSION.
(a) RAIL SOVEREIGNTY INVESTMENT MANDATE.—The SIRF industrial capitalization node shall deploy not less than fifteen billion dollars ($15,000,000,000) over the first ten fiscal years following enactment to capitalize the construction of new domestic high-speed and regional passenger rail corridors, prioritizing connections between cities separated by two hundred (200) to six hundred (600) miles.
(b) PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP REQUIREMENT.—Rail projects capitalized under this section shall require not less than thirty percent (30%) private or state co-investment for every federal dollar deployed, ensuring fiscal leveraging and local political accountability.
(c) AMERICAN WORKER MANDATE.—All rail construction projects capitalized under this section shall comply with the Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. §§ 3141–3148) and shall require not less than ninety percent (90%) of construction labor hours to be performed by United States residents.

FMIA is the enforcement backbone of all other bills, introduced last after the substantive provisions it enforces are already law. SS Commission gains credibility after the fiscal model is demonstrated by Bills 1–3. Titles: I + III + IV + X + XI + XVIII + XXVI + Schedule E.
Title I, FMIA & Enforcement Architecture
›
Creates the Federal Market Integrity Administration (FMIA), the enforcement backbone of the entire Act. An independent agency that cross-references corporate filings, tax records, federal contracts, and market data to detect fraud, price gouging, and violations in real time. Includes whistleblower protections and a structured accountability engine. Monitors corporations only, not individuals.
TITLE I — SYSTEMIC RESILIENCE AND UNIFIED SOVEREIGNTY ARCHITECTURE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 101. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE FEDERAL MARKET INTEGRITY ADMINISTRATION — PHASED INDEPENDENCE STRUCTURE.
(a) PHASE 1: BUREAU WITHIN DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE (MONTHS 1–48).—
(1) IN GENERAL.—For the first forty-eight (48) months following enactment, the Federal Market Integrity Administration (FMIA) shall be established as a bureau within the Department of Commerce, designated the Bureau of Sovereign Data Integrity (BSDI). During this phase, the BSDI shall share DOC's existing information technology infrastructure, human resources systems, procurement vehicles, and physical facilities, eliminating the startup costs and timeline risks of a standalone agency launch.
(2) INITIAL WORKFORCE AUTHORIZATION.—The BSDI shall begin operations with an authorized workforce of not fewer than eight hundred (800) full-time equivalent personnel, recruited in priority order: data scientists and economists from existing DOC bureaus, including the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology; cybersecurity specialists from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency via interagency agreement; and external hires as needed. Total authorized FTE shall expand on a documented capability-driven schedule not to exceed two thousand (2,000) by month 48.
(3) EXISTING AGENCY DATA PARTNERSHIPS.—During Phase 1, the BSDI shall not independently collect data already collected by a federal agency with existing legal authority. Instead, the BSDI shall enter mandatory data-sharing agreements with: the Internal Revenue Service (financial flow data); the Census Bureau (economic baseline data); the Federal Trade Commission (market concentration data); the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (financial product data); the Environmental Protection Agency (environmental monitoring data); and the Department of Energy (grid telemetry data). The BSDI shall serve as the integration and analytics layer over existing data streams, not as a new data collection authority.
(b) PHASE 2: INDEPENDENT AGENCY (MONTH 49 ONWARD).—
(1) INDEPENDENCE REVIEW.—Not later than the thirty-sixth (36th) month following enactment, the Government Accountability Office shall conduct an Independence Readiness Assessment evaluating whether the BSDI has achieved the operational maturity, data integration completeness, and staffing stability required for standalone agency status.
(2) TRANSITION AUTHORITY.—If the GAO Independence Readiness Assessment is affirmative, the BSDI shall transition to full independent agency status as the Federal Market Integrity Administration on the first day of the forty-ninth (49th) month, inheriting all data agreements, personnel, infrastructure, and legal authorities established during Phase 1. If the GAO assessment recommends an extended bureau period, the Secretary of Commerce shall extend the bureau phase by not more than twenty-four (24) additional months, with a mandatory second GAO assessment at month 60.
(c) CHIEF STRUCTURAL REALIST — ARTICLE II REMOVAL COMPLIANCE (PATCH R-11).—The FMIA shall be directed by a single Administrator for Economic Data Integrity, appointed by the President by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. To conform to the separation-of-powers holdings of Seila Law LLC v. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 591 U.S. 197 (2020), and Free Enterprise Fund v. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, 561 U.S. 477 (2010), the Administrator shall be removable by the President at will, without cause. No statutory for-cause removal restriction shall attach to the Administrator. The seven (7) year term is advisory as to continuity of policy and shall not be construed to limit the President's removal power. During Phase 1, the Administrator for Economic Data Integrity shall serve as Deputy Secretary of Commerce for Sovereign Data Integrity, with all authority of a bureau director within the DOC administrative structure.
(c-1) ALJ APPOINTMENT AND REMOVAL — LUCIA COMPLIANCE.—All Administrative Law Judges and administrative adjudicators acting under this Act are inferior officers within the meaning of Lucia v. SEC, 585 U.S. 237 (2018), appointed directly by the Administrator. Such adjudicators shall not be insulated by more than a single layer of for-cause removal, and their removal protections shall be construed and applied only to the extent permitted by controlling Article II precedent. The validity of any enforcement action shall not depend on the constitutionality of an adjudicator's removal protection, and the severability provisions of Section 205 shall preserve all completed actions in the event any removal restriction is held invalid.
(d) MANDATORY TELEMETRY SYSTEM.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—The FMIA shall construct, maintain, and operate a centralized, continuous data-ingest platform, to be known as the Federal Data Veracity Matrix (FDVM).
(2) DATA SOURCES.—The FDVM shall possess absolute, unhindered read-access to real-time electronic data pipelines, including:
(A) The United States Treasury clearance and settlement feeds;
(B) Customs and Border Protection import-export manifests;
(C) Commodity Futures Trading Commission transactional ledgers;
(D) Department of Energy grid-load and distribution telemetry; and
(E) Publicly traded corporate logistics, inventory tracking, and supply-chain enterprise systems operating within the United States.
(3) PRIVACY FIREWALL.—No individual personal identifying information, consumer financial records protected under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (15 U.S.C. §§ 6801–6809), or private health information protected under HIPAA (42 U.S.C. § 1320d et seq.) shall be ingested by the FDVM. The FMIA shall operate exclusively on aggregated, anonymized, entity-level commercial and governmental data streams.
(e) AUTOMATED STRUCTURAL VARIANCE MONITORING AND IDENTIFICATION.—
(1) REAL-TIME INGESTION.—The FDVM shall continuously process ingested data streams to evaluate baseline economic, technological, and material metrics across the United States.
(2) REPORTABLE VARIANCE TRIGGERS.—The FDVM shall operate on a strictly mechanical, algorithmic trigger system as specified in Schedule A of this Act. If the real-time material telemetry (Tm) for any designated critical asset layer deviates from the rolling 36-month historical baseline (Br) by fifteen percent (15%) or more (ΔS ≥ 15%), the FDVM shall instantly generate a formal, public Verified Structural Variance Report.
(d) ABSOLUTE ELIMINATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE SAFE HARBORS AND WAIVERS.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no federal agency, executive department, or administrative officer may issue, grant, or renew any "safe harbor" exemption, regulatory carve-out, compliance waiver, or non-enforcement guidance to shield any Covered Entity from an FDVM variance audit, structural penalty, or clawback proceeding.
(2) INVALIDITY OF ADMINISTRATIVE CURE ACTIONS.—Any administrative rule, advisory opinion, or settlement agreement that purports to exempt a Covered Entity from the strict liability provisions of this Title is void ab initio.
(e) FMIA OPERATIONAL CAPACITY.—
(1) INITIAL STAFFING AUTHORIZATION.—There is authorized to be appropriated, from the SIRF administrative operations node and from general Treasury funds as a one-time capitalization measure, the sum of $850,000,000 for the construction and operationalization of the FMIA, including procurement of telemetry infrastructure, cybersecurity hardening, and an initial workforce of not fewer than 2,400 full-time equivalent personnel.
(2) PHASED DEPLOYMENT MANDATE.—The FMIA shall achieve operational telemetry coverage of not less than sixty percent (60%) of tracked critical asset layers within twenty-four (24) months of enactment, and full one hundred percent (100%) coverage within forty-eight (48) months.
(3) STATE PARTNERSHIP GRANTS.—The FMIA shall establish a State Data Sovereignty Partnership Program under which states may receive formula grants of up to $15,000,000 annually to build compatible state-level data monitoring infrastructure, provided such infrastructure adheres to FDVM data standards and privacy firewall requirements.
SEC. 102. PROHIBITION ON UNCOMPENSATED COMMERCIAL DATA USE.
(a) UNLAWFUL DATA DEPLOYMENT.—It shall be an unlawful practice for any Covered Entity, federal agency, or government contractor to design, implement, deploy, or utilize any algorithmic model, predictive analytics system, or narrative-driven assessment tool that extracts or utilizes individual or community-generated data to generate predictions or assessments affecting individuals while systematically omitting, masking, or failing to weight objective structural, historical, and material causation variables that are statistically significant determinants of the outcomes being predicted.
(a-1) FIRST AMENDMENT SAFE HARBOR.—Nothing in this section shall be construed to:
(1) Prohibit or restrict purely editorial, journalistic, artistic, or academic use of data or algorithmic models where the output does not directly determine access to a government benefit, financial product, employment opportunity, housing, insurance, or healthcare service;
(2) Apply to voluntary, opt-in consumer products where the individual user has provided informed, affirmative consent to the specific modeling methodology employed;
(3) Require disclosure of proprietary trade secrets beyond the structural variable omission identified in subsection (a), provided that independent audit access is granted to the FMIA under a confidentiality agreement;
(4) Apply to internal research, development, or testing environments where no adverse determination affecting an individual has been made.
The prohibition in subsection (a) is limited to algorithmic deployments that produce an adverse determination — denial, restriction, or downgrading of a benefit, service, or opportunity — against a specific individual or identifiable community, based on predictive modeling that fails the structural causation variable standard. General market research, aggregate economic analysis, and policy modeling are expressly exempt.
(b) EVIDENCE AND RELIABILITY STANDARDS (PATCH R-09).—Any dataset, research output, or underwriting model found by the FDVM to practice uncompensated commercial data use shall be presumptively unreliable and inadmissible as a sole basis for any adverse determination in federal rulemaking, administrative adjudication, commercial credit underwriting, or public benefit determination. An affected entity may rebut this presumption upon demonstrating by clear and convincing evidence to the adjudicating authority that the specific application of the dataset in the matter before it did not exhibit the uncompensated commercial data use pattern identified in the FDVM finding. This subsection does not restrict the authority of any federal court to make independent evidentiary rulings pursuant to the Federal Rules of Evidence.
(c) FIRST AMENDMENT SAFE HARBOR.—Nothing in this section shall be construed to restrict or regulate:
(1) The publication, dissemination, or distribution of academic research, journalism, or political speech;
(2) The lawful operation of consumer survey and market research businesses;
(3) Any algorithmic system operated exclusively on publicly available, anonymized aggregate data in which no individual is identified.
(d) CIVIL REMEDY.—Any individual suffering demonstrable concrete harm from uncompensated commercial data use as defined in subsection (a) may bring a civil enforcement action in any United States District Court for declaratory relief, injunctive relief, and actual damages not to exceed fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) per plaintiff per enforcement action, plus attorney's fees under the American Rule modified standard.
SEC. 103. THE STRUCTURED ACCOUNTABILITY ENGINE.
(a) ENGAGEMENT OF ENFORCEMENT TIMELINE.—Upon the generation of a Verified Structural Variance Report by the FDVM, the automated Structured Accountability Engine (SAE) shall instantly engage, establishing a mandatory, non-extendable ninety (90) calendar day timeline for executive action.
(b) NON-DELEGATED DUTY OF THE AGENCY HEAD.—Within the 90-day timeline established in subsection (a), the head of the federal agency possessing primary regulatory jurisdiction over the affected asset layer shall execute one of the following affirmative duties:
(1) CLAWBACK INITIATION.—Issue a formal Order of Enforcement and initiate strict liability asset clawback, revenue seizure, or divestment proceedings against the non-compliant Covered Entities identified in the report; OR
(2) MANDATORY STATUTORY STATEMENT.—File a formal, public, and judicially reviewable Statement of Reason for Enforcement Non-Initiation with the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
(c) STATUTORY SHIELD EFFECT.—A Statement of Reason filed in strict compliance with subsection (b)(2) shall operate as an absolute legal defense against any civil claim asserting that agency inaction was arbitrary, capricious, or an abuse of discretion under 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(A), provided:
(1) The Statement identifies the specific enforcement prioritization rationale or documented resource constraints justifying non-initiation; and
(2) The Statement is filed within ninety (90) days of the Verified Structural Variance Report.
(d) CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT TRIGGER.—If the agency head fails to execute either duty specified in subsection (b) within ninety (90) days, the Comptroller General of the United States shall automatically transmit a formal Enforcement Delinquency Notice to the Committee on Oversight and Accountability of the House and the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate within seven (7) business days.
SEC. 104. WHISTLEBLOWER AND PROTECTED DISCLOSURE FRAMEWORK.
(a) PROTECTED DISCLOSURES.—Any employee, contractor, or officer of a Covered Entity who provides information to the FMIA, the Department of Justice, or any Congressional committee regarding a Verified Structural Variance shall be protected from retaliation under the provisions of the Whistleblower Protection Act (5 U.S.C. §§ 2302, 7701–7703) and this section.
(b) ANTI-RETALIATION ENFORCEMENT.—Any Covered Entity that demotes, terminates, harasses, or materially disadvantages an employee for protected disclosures under this section shall be strictly liable for:
(1) Reinstatement with back pay and restoration of all benefits;
(2) Double back pay as a penalty multiplier; and
(3) A structural penalty of not less than $500,000, routed to the SIRF.
(c) CONFIDENTIAL REPORTING CHANNEL.—The FMIA shall operate a dedicated, encrypted, anonymous digital reporting portal through which any person may submit evidence of potential structural violations. Submissions through this portal shall receive expedited review within thirty (30) calendar days.
SEC. 105. ANTI-HARMONIZATION DECLARATION — PATCH R-05.
(a) SUPERSESSION DECLARATION.—The provisions of this Act are not subject to judicial application of the implied harmonization doctrine articulated in Morton v. Mancari, 417 U.S. 535 (1974). Where any provision of this Act conflicts with any provision of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-193), the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109-171), or the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-246), the provisions of this Act shall govern without harmonization or judicial reconciliation.
(b) EXPLICIT SUPERSESSION TABLE.—The following provisions of prior law are expressly superseded and reformed pursuant to Section 501 of this Act:
(1) PRWORA 1996: §§ 407, 408(a)(1)–408(a)(7) (punitive work conditionality and time limits), as reformed not repealed;
(2) DRA 2005: §§ 7101, 7102, 7103 (drug testing, criminal bars, surveillance requirements), as to their punitive conditionality provisions only; and
(3) FCEA 2008: § 4115, as to its punitive conditionality provisions only.
(c) CORE PRWORA BLOCK GRANT ARCHITECTURE PRESERVED.—Nothing in this Act repeals or diminishes the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families block grant architecture of PRWORA 1996 as a mechanism for state flexibility in family assistance administration. The block grant funding structure is preserved and enhanced pursuant to Section 501(c).
SEC. 106. EXISTING AGENCY ENFORCEMENT COORDINATION MANDATE — FMIA AS DATA SPINE.
(a) ENFORCEMENT PRIMACY OF EXISTING AGENCIES.—The FMIA shall serve as the data intelligence and variance identification layer of this Act. Primary enforcement authority for each Title shall remain with the existing federal agency with established jurisdiction, expertise, and legal authority over that domain:

First Amendment safe harbor for journalism, research, and academic modeling. Mandates domestic semiconductor sovereignty.
TITLE III — THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SOVEREIGNTY AND PERSONAL DATA RIGHTS ACT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 301. CODIFICATION OF THE COGNITIVE COMMONS.
(a) IN GENERAL.—The collective linguistic, intellectual, creative, and cultural outputs generated by citizens and community cohorts within the United States are hereby codified as a protected civil infrastructure asset designated as the Sovereign Data Commons.
(b) IMMUNITY FROM UNCOMPENSATED ENCLOSURE.—The Sovereign Data Commons shall be immune to uncompensated extraction, commercial enclosure, or computational training ingestion by any Covered Entity.
(c) MANDATORY COMPENSATORY TARIFFS.—Any Covered Entity operating machine-learning foundational models, large language structures, or generative neural networks that ingests data from the Sovereign Data Commons shall pay a fixed statutory tariff of $0.02 per gigabyte of data ingested, payable directly to the Personal Data Rights Node of the SIRF.
(d) COMMUNITY ROYALTY REDISTRIBUTION.—Not less than fifty percent (50%) of tariff revenue collected under subsection (c) shall be redistributed as direct per-capita digital commons royalties to United States residents, distributed annually in equal shares by the Social Security Administration's supplemental payment infrastructure.
(e) DATA ORIGINATION STANDARD — EXTRATERRITORIAL REACH.—Covered Data Ingestion encompasses any collection, scraping, or processing of data where: (1) the data originates from United States persons, United States-domiciled platforms, or United States-based infrastructure, regardless of where compute infrastructure is physically located; or (2) the ingestion is performed by any subsidiary, affiliate, or joint venture of a Covered Entity regardless of jurisdiction. Establishing a foreign subsidiary to route ingestion and evade this tariff constitutes an Asymmetric Capital Flight event under Section 003(1).
(f) MODEL WEIGHT IMPORT ASSESSMENT.—Any AI model trained in whole or in part on data meeting subsection (e) and deployed within the United States shall be subject to a Model Weight Import Assessment (MWIA) of eight and one-half percent (8.5%) of gross revenue attributable to domestic deployment, assessed annually, whether or not training occurred domestically.
(g) TRAINING DATA PROVENANCE CERTIFICATION.—Any Covered Entity deploying an AI model exceeding one billion (1,000,000,000) parameters within the United States shall file annually with the FMIA a Training Data Provenance Certification attesting to training data origination, compute location, and U.S.-origin data proportion.

(d) FIRST AMENDMENT PRESERVATION AND SAFE HARBOR.—
(1) GENERAL PRESERVATION.—Nothing in this section shall be construed to compel any platform to host, amplify, or distribute any specific category of speech, nor to prohibit content moderation practices consistent with a platform's publicly disclosed community standards, provided such standards are applied uniformly and do not systematically suppress lawful political or civic speech.
(2) ALGORITHMIC EDITORIAL SAFE HARBOR.—No enforcement action under this section shall be brought against any Covered Entity on the basis of an algorithmic or editorial decision to rank, recommend, deprioritize, or decline to amplify any category of lawful speech or expressive content. The algorithmic drift enforcement authority established under subsections (a) and (b) is limited exclusively to measurable adverse economic outcomes in consumer financial decision-making as defined in subsection (b)(2), and shall not extend to outcomes that are the result of expressive or editorial judgments about the content, viewpoint, or subject matter of speech.
(3) CONDUCT-NOT-CONTENT LIMITATION.—All enforcement authority under this section is directed at the economic conduct of Covered Entities — specifically, the deployment of algorithmic systems to extract economic value from users without compensation — and not at the content or viewpoint of any speech carried, moderated, or algorithmically sorted by those systems. No FMIA enforcement action under this section shall turn on the viewpoint, topic, or political valence of any speech that a Covered Entity hosts, routes, or declines to distribute.
(4) PREEMPTION OF COMPELLED SPEECH.—Nothing in this section shall be construed to require any Covered Entity to carry, display, or distribute speech that the Covered Entity has determined, in the exercise of editorial discretion, to be inconsistent with its platform policies, community standards, or editorial mission, consistent with Moody v. NetChoice, LLC, 603 U.S. ___ (2024), and Miami Herald Publishing Co. v. Tornillo, 418 U.S. 241 (1974).

Title IV, Citizen Bounty Engine
›
The Citizen Bounty Engine: report a company violating this Act, collect 15% of the penalty, no lawyer needed. Requires 65% American-made materials on federal contracts, rebuilding domestic supply chains from the government's own purchasing power.
TITLE IV — REALIST PARITY ENFORCEMENT AND PRIVATE BOUNTY ENGINES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 401. DECENTRALIZED CITIZEN ENFORCEMENT ENGINE.
(a) STATUTORY STANDING BY LAW — ARTICLE III FORUM (PATCH R-10).—To ensure independent enforcement capacity that is insulated from bureaucratic capture, corporate lobbying, or administrative paralysis, any citizen, corporate employee, labor organization, or qualifying community cohort shall possess absolute statutory standing to initiate a civil enforcement action upon documenting an unresolved structural variance report issued by the FDVM. Consistent with Securities and Exchange Commission v. Jarkesy, 603 U.S. ___ (2024), any such action seeking civil monetary penalties, punitive surcharges, strict-liability clawbacks, revenue seizures, or asset forfeitures — remedies legal rather than equitable in nature — shall be filed in a United States District Court, in which the right to trial by jury under the Seventh Amendment is preserved for the defendant. Actions seeking solely equitable or declaratory relief, or recovery of a sum certain owed to the United States not in the nature of a penalty, may be filed in the United States Court of Federal Claims.
(b) THE MANDATORY 15 PERCENT CITIZEN BOUNTY.—
(1) DISBURSEMENT MANDATE.—In any enforcement action brought under this section where the plaintiff achieves a final judicial decree or administrative settlement establishing structural non-compliance by a Covered Entity, the plaintiff shall be legally entitled to a mandatory, non-dilutive financial bounty equal to exactly fifteen percent (15%) of the total gross financial clawbacks, corporate revenue seizures, or strict liability asset forfeitures recovered by the state.
(2) MECHANISM OF PAYMENT.—The fifteen percent (15%) citizen bounty shall be disbursed automatically via electronic treasury clearance within fourteen (14) calendar days of capital recovery, bypassing general agency clearance channels.
(c) INSULATION FROM ADMINISTRATIVE SANCTION OR CARVE-OUTS.—The right of a citizen to enforce the provisions of this Act and secure the statutory bounty specified in subsection (b) shall not be delayed, compromised, settled, or extinguished by any parallel administrative remediation agreement or agency safe-harbor claim.
(d) FRIVOLOUS CLAIM DETERRENCE.—Any civil enforcement action brought under this section that is determined by a court to be frivolous, vexatious, or brought solely for the purpose of harassment shall subject the plaintiff's attorney to sanctions under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11. The citizen bounty shall not be awarded in any such case.
(e) COVERED ENTITY COUNTERCLAIM LIMITATION.—No Covered Entity subject to an enforcement action under this section may assert a counterclaim seeking damages from an individual citizen plaintiff for the act of filing a good-faith enforcement action, provided the citizen plaintiff had a reasonable basis for belief that a Verified Structural Variance existed.
(f) FCA-PRECEDENTED VIOLATION CATEGORIES — BOUNTY ELIGIBILITY LIMITATION.—
(1) ELIGIBLE VIOLATION CATEGORIES.—The citizen bounty established under subsection (b) shall be available only in enforcement actions arising from the following categories of violation, which are modeled on violation types with established precedent under the False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. §§ 3729–3733) and cognate whistleblower statutes:
(A) Submission of false or fraudulent certifications, reports, or disclosures to the FMIA, FDVM, or any federal agency in connection with a structural variance or compliance determination required under this Act;
(B) Knowing evasion of a FDVM audit obligation, including falsification of API output metrics submitted pursuant to Section 302(a) or any equivalent data submission requirement;
(C) Fraudulent concealment of a structural non-compliance condition that the Covered Entity had actual knowledge of, where such concealment delayed or prevented enforcement;
(D) Retaliation against a whistleblower who disclosed a structural variance or compliance failure to the FMIA, FDVM, or Congress;
(E) Procurement fraud in connection with any federal contract, grant, loan, or subsidy involving a Covered Entity subject to this Act, consistent with categories actionable under 31 U.S.C. § 3729(a).
(2) NON-ELIGIBLE CLAIMS.—The citizen bounty shall not be available in enforcement actions based solely on a Covered Entity's failure to achieve a structural outcome metric (such as a wage floor, domestic content percentage, or energy transition milestone) where no fraud, false certification, or knowing concealment is alleged. Such outcome-based enforcement actions remain available under the FMIA's administrative enforcement authority and Title XX judicial review provisions, but do not carry the citizen bounty.
(3) FIRST-TO-FILE AND GOVERNMENT-ELECTION RULE.—Consistent with the False Claims Act's first-to-file bar (31 U.S.C. § 3730(b)(5)) and government-election rule (31 U.S.C. § 3730(b)(4)): (A) no bounty action under this section may proceed if a substantially identical action has already been filed by another citizen plaintiff; and (B) the FMIA shall have sixty (60) days following notice of a filed bounty action to elect to intervene and assume primary prosecution of the action, in which case the citizen plaintiff's bounty shall not be reduced below ten percent (10%) of the net recovery.
(4) ORIGINAL-SOURCE REQUIREMENT.—A citizen plaintiff seeking a bounty under this section must be an original source of the information underlying the claim — meaning the plaintiff has direct and independent knowledge of the information supporting the alleged violation and has voluntarily provided that information to the FMIA prior to filing, consistent with the original-source doctrine of Hughes Aircraft Co. v. United States ex rel. Schumer, 520 U.S. 939 (1997).
SEC. 402. DOMESTIC CONTENT SOVEREIGN CONTRACT FRAMEWORK.
(a) DOMESTIC SOURCING MANDATE.—All federal procurement contracts exceeding one million dollars ($1,000,000) in total value issued after the effective date of this Act shall contain a mandatory domestic sourcing clause requiring not less than sixty-five percent (65%) of total material and component value to be sourced from domestic producers certified under the Buy American Act (41 U.S.C. §§ 8301–8305) and this section.
(b) PHASE-IN SCHEDULE.—
(1) YEAR 1 THROUGH YEAR 2.—The domestic content floor for non-defense contracts shall be set at fifty percent (50%);
(2) YEAR 3 THROUGH YEAR 4.—The domestic content floor shall increase to fifty-eight percent (58%); and
(3) YEAR 5 AND THEREAFTER.—The domestic content floor shall reach the statutory target of sixty-five percent (65%) as specified in Section 004(a)(3).
(c) SMALL BUSINESS DOMESTIC CERTIFICATION.—The Small Business Administration shall establish a streamlined, no-cost certification program for domestic suppliers with annual revenues below twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000) to qualify as certified domestic content providers under this section. Certification shall be valid for three (3) years and renewable without fee.
(d) NATIONAL SECURITY WAIVER.—The Secretary of Defense may issue a time-limited waiver of the domestic content requirements for contracts necessary to address an immediate, documented national security emergency, for periods not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days per waiver, renewable not more than twice.
SEC. 403. ANTI-OFFSHORE WAGE ARBITRAGE PERFORMANCE INDEX.
(a) PERFORMANCE INDEX.—The Bureau of Labor Statistics shall maintain a quarterly Anti-Offshore Wage Arbitrage Performance Index (AOWAPI) measuring the ratio of domestic to offshore employment across each critical infrastructure sector. The AOWAPI shall be published publicly and transmitted to the Joint Economic Committee of Congress quarterly.
(b) CORPORATE DISCLOSURE MANDATE.—Any Covered Entity receiving a federal tax benefit, subsidy, grant, or preferential trade treatment shall disclose annually to the FMIA the total number and compensation level of employees based in each foreign jurisdiction and the total domestic workforce equivalent.
(c) STRATEGIC RE-SHORING INCENTIVE.—Any Covered Entity that increases its domestic workforce by not less than ten percent (10%) within any rolling twenty-four (24) month period relative to its offshore workforce growth rate shall qualify for an accelerated depreciation credit of fifteen percent (15%) on domestic capital expenditures in that fiscal year, administered by the Internal Revenue Service.

(c) JUDICIAL ENFORCEMENT OF COMMONS PROTECTION.—Any Covered Entity verified by the FDVM to be executing privatization schemes or speculative cornering of public aquifers shall not face automatic administrative charter revocation. The FMIA shall within thirty (30) calendar days of a Verified Structural Variance Report transmit a referral to the Department of Justice, which shall file a civil enforcement action in the United States District Court for the district where the Covered Entity's primary domestic operations are located. The United States District Court may, upon finding by clear and convincing evidence that the Covered Entity has engaged in privatization or speculative cornering of public water resources in violation of this Act, issue any of the following remedies:
(1) Injunctive relief requiring immediate cessation of the unlawful activity;
(2) Disgorgement of all profits derived from the unlawful activity, routed to the SIRF environmental remediation node;
(3) Appointment of a federal receiver to manage the unlawful asset positions pending divestment; and
(4) Upon a finding of willful and repeated violation after prior court orders, revocation of the corporate charter of the domestic subsidiary conducting the unlawful activity, effective sixty (60) days after judgment to allow for orderly wind-down.

TITLE XVI & XVII [INTEGRATED] — QUANTUM-SECURED SOVEREIGN LIQUIDITY, CENTRAL BANK ANTI-FRAGILITY, AND THE ERADICATION OF FIAT INFLATION VARIANCES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 1601. THE ASYMMETRIC CAPITAL FLIGHT LOCK — DUE PROCESS COMPLIANT ARCHITECTURE.
(a) AUTOMATED TRANSACTION MONITORING.—To prevent catastrophic market disruption, speculative short-selling runs, or offshore capital flight by institutional actors seeking to evade the strict liability provisions of this Act during an active FDVM structural variance audit, there is hereby established the Asymmetric Capital Flight Lock.
(b) TRIGGER MECHANICS.—The FDVM shall monitor real-time treasury clearance feeds and institutional ledger outflows. A potential Flight Lock event shall be detected instantaneously if any of the following technical thresholds are crossed:
(1) A Covered Entity or financial institution under active structural variance audit attempts an un-hedged transfer of liquid capital, debt instruments, or intellectual property reserves to an offshore subsidiary, shell entity, or foreign sovereign jurisdiction exceeding five percent (5%) of its total consolidated liquid assets within a rolling fourteen (14) calendar day window.
(2) Net capital outflows from domestic financial market makers into any designated foreign tax-deferred vehicle or offshore corporate shield demonstrate a velocity increase exceeding three standard deviations from the prior 90-day rolling baseline.
(c) PRE-DEPRIVATION JUDICIAL OFFICER AUTHORIZATION — PATCH R-07.—Upon detection of a triggering event under subsection (b), no automatic asset freeze shall take effect without prior authorization. Instead, the FMIA shall within four (4) hours transmit an Emergency Authorization Request to the FMIA's Office of Administrative Review, which shall maintain a twenty-four-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week duty Administrative Law Judge roster for this purpose. The duty ALJ shall review the Emergency Authorization Request on an ex parte basis and issue a written order within four (4) hours of receipt either:
(1) AUTHORIZING THE FLIGHT LOCK.—If the duty ALJ finds probable cause to believe a triggering event has occurred and that immediate asset protection is necessary to prevent irreparable harm to SIRF assets or domestic economic stability; or
(2) DENYING THE FLIGHT LOCK REQUEST.—If the duty ALJ finds the triggering event has not been established by the FMIA's monitoring data to the probable cause standard, or that the transaction at issue falls within a recognized exemption.
(d) LEGAL EFFECT OF AUTHORIZED LOCK.—Upon ALJ authorization, the affected domestic clearing networks, Federal Reserve discount windows, and electronic payment gateways shall freeze all international settlement operations tied to the offending entity for a fixed period of forty-five (45) calendar days. Frozen assets shall serve as temporary liquidity reserves for the SIRF pending final resolution. No administrative waivers or executive order interventions may release an authorized lock; release requires ALJ order on adversarial hearing or judicial review.
(e) ADVERSARIAL HEARING — SEVENTY-TWO HOURS.—Within seventy-two (72) hours of Lock authorization, the FMIA shall provide the affected entity a full adversarial hearing before the FMIA Administrative Law Judge, at which the entity may contest the factual basis for the Lock, present exculpatory evidence, and seek immediate release of specifically identified assets that are not subject to the triggering transaction.
(f) JUDICIAL REVIEW — EXPEDITED TRACK.—Any party adversely affected by an authorized Capital Flight Lock may seek emergency review in the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on an expedited seventy-two (72) hour briefing schedule. The Court of Appeals shall apply a clear error standard to factual ALJ findings and de novo review to legal conclusions. A stay of the Lock pending appeal shall be available upon the standard four-part equity test.
(g) NATURE OF ALJ AUTHORITY — EQUITABLE PRESERVATION ONLY (PATCH R-10).—The duty ALJ's authority under this section is strictly limited to authorizing a temporary, status-quo-preserving asset freeze of the nature of a preliminary injunction or attachment, on a probable-cause showing, to prevent irreparable dissipation of assets pending adjudication. The ALJ shall have no authority under this section to assess, impose, or finally adjudicate any civil monetary penalty, surcharge, forfeiture, or clawback. Consistent with Securities and Exchange Commission v. Jarkesy, 603 U.S. ___ (2024), all such penal remedies arising from a triggering transaction shall be pursued by the United States exclusively in a United States District Court with the Seventh Amendment right to trial by jury preserved.
SEC. 1606. CONSTITUTIONAL ENFORCEMENT ARCHITECTURE — JURY TRIAL AND ARTICLE III FORUM (PATCH R-10).
(a) JARKESY COMPLIANCE — GOVERNING RULE.—Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, no civil monetary penalty, punitive surcharge, strict-liability clawback, revenue seizure, or asset forfeiture shall be finally assessed against any person or Covered Entity except by a United States District Court, an Article III tribunal, in a proceeding in which the defendant's Seventh Amendment right to trial by jury is preserved. This rule conforms the enforcement architecture of this Act to Securities and Exchange Commission v. Jarkesy, 603 U.S. ___ (2024), Tull v. United States, 481 U.S. 412 (1987), and Granfinanciera, S.A. v. Nordberg, 492 U.S. 33 (1989).
(b) PERMISSIBLE ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTIONS.—Administrative adjudicators under this Act retain authority only over: (1) temporary, equitable, status-quo-preserving orders (including the asset-freeze authorization under Section 1601) on a probable-cause showing; (2) determinations of eligibility for, or entitlement to, a public benefit, which remain matters of public right; and (3) internal agency appeals that do not finally assess a penal monetary remedy. Any final penal assessment requires Article III adjudication under subsection (a).
(c) REFERRAL MECHANISM.—Upon a Verified Structural Variance Report that would support a penal remedy, the primary enforcement agency or the citizen relator under Section 401 shall file a civil action in the appropriate United States District Court. The administrative record shall be admissible but shall not be preclusive of the defendant's jury-trial rights on contested issues of fact.
(d) SEVERABILITY HARMONIZATION.—If any provision of this Act is read to authorize final administrative assessment of a penal monetary remedy, that provision shall be construed, to the maximum extent possible, to require Article III adjudication consistent with subsection (a); and if it cannot be so construed, it shall be severed pursuant to Section 205 without affecting the remainder of this Act or any enforcement action lawfully commenced in an Article III court.
SEC. 1602. THE RE-ARCHITECTED TRANSITIONAL QUANTUM MIGRATION PIPELINE.
(a) PHASED RE-ARCHITECTURE.—To ensure absolute protection against systemic financial cyber-warfare, the migration of the Federal Reserve clearance systems, the SIRF deposit networks, and the FDVM ledger pipelines exclusively to a decentralized, quantum-secured cryptographic infrastructure is hardcoded into three rigid, chronological operational phases:
(1) PHASE I (MONTHS 1 THROUGH 18 — INGESTION AND SYMMETRIC HARDENING).—The FDVM data ingest pipelines and SIRF deposit clearance networks shall be wrapped in hybrid post-quantum cryptographic layers (including CRYSTALS-Kyber and CRYSTALS-Dilithium protocols) to secure immediate transmission integrity.
(2) PHASE II (MONTHS 19 THROUGH 36 — CENTRAL BANK CLEARANCE DECOUPLING).—The internal core ledger systems of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and the primary electronic treasury networks shall be migrated to a distributed, quantum-resistant consensus architecture operating on independent, state-owned hardware nodes.
(3) PHASE III (MONTHS 37 THROUGH 48 — FULL QUANTUM SYNCHRONIZATION).—Universal synchronization across all commercial bank settlement gateways and corporate clearing arrays shall be fully completed.
(4) FULL-SCOPE COMPLIANCE STANDARD.—Compliance with subsections (a)(1)-(3) shall require PQC deployment across all of the following, without exception: (A) data at rest — all database storage, backup systems, archival and cold storage containing financial or customer data; (B) internal network communications, including intranet and inter-branch systems; (C) third-party and vendor systems processing covered data on behalf of the institution; and (D) client-side endpoints and institution-controlled customer portals. Surface-level compliance securing only primary transit pipelines while leaving data at rest or legacy internal systems unprotected shall not constitute compliance for purposes of this section.
(5) LEGACY SYSTEM MIGRATION PLAN.—Any Covered Entity that cannot achieve full-scope compliance within the Phase III deadline for legacy systems shall file with the FMIA a Legacy System Migration Plan within one hundred eighty (180) days of enactment specifying: (A) an inventory of non-PQC-capable legacy systems; (B) a phased migration timeline not exceeding three (3) years; (C) interim compensating controls; and (D) annual third-party cryptographic audit certifications verifying migration progress. Entities operating under an approved Migration Plan are exempt from the Phase III penalty for covered legacy systems only, provided they remain current on the approved timeline.
(b) STRICT LIABILITY PENALTIES FOR TRANSITIONAL DELAY.—Any Tier-1 commercial banking institution or asset management firm that fails to achieve compliance with the technical migration milestones specified in subsection (a) at the end of any phase shall face an immediate freeze of its federal discount window access and a mandatory two hundred percent (200%) civil penalty surcharge on all transaction fees processed during the period of non-compliance, paid directly to the SIRF.
(c) NIST COORDINATION.—The quantum migration standards employed under subsection (a) shall be coordinated with and certified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), consistent with NIST's post-quantum cryptography standards published under FIPS 203, 204, and 205. The NIST Director shall certify compliance of each phase within sixty (60) days of phase completion.
SEC. 1603. INFLATION SOVEREIGNTY AND COST-OF-LIVING PROTECTION.
(a) SPI-INDEXED WAGE FLOOR.—The federal minimum wage shall be automatically adjusted on the first day of each calendar year to not less than seventeen percent (17%) of the annual Sovereign Productivity Index per-capita output value, ensuring perpetual alignment between the minimum wage and actual domestic productive capacity, without requiring recurring legislative action.
(b) ANTI-SHRINKFLATION ENFORCEMENT.—It shall be an unlawful trade practice for any consumer goods manufacturer with annual domestic revenues exceeding one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) to reduce the net weight, volume, or quantity of a consumer product by more than five percent (5%) within any rolling twelve (12) month period without a corresponding price reduction of not less than the same percentage or clear consumer-facing disclosure of the reduction.
(c) PRICE TRANSPARENCY MANDATE.—All retail price increases exceeding ten percent (10%) on staple consumer goods within any ninety (90) day period shall require a publicly filed cost justification statement submitted to the FMIA within thirty (30) days of the price increase, detailing input cost changes, supply chain disruption factors, and gross margin data.

TITLE XIX — RETURN ON INVESTMENT, PERFORMANCE BENCHMARKS, AND AMERICAN HOUSEHOLD BENEFIT ACCOUNTING
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 1901. AMERICAN HOUSEHOLD SOVEREIGNTY DIVIDEND — PROJECTED BENEFITS.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that the aggregate effect of the programs established in this Act is projected, based on available economic modeling by the Congressional Budget Office, the Congressional Research Service, and independent academic reviewers, to produce the following measurable household economic benefits within ten (10) years of full implementation:
(1) PHARMACEUTICAL SAVINGS.—The G7 medicine parity provisions of Title XIII are projected to reduce average annual household pharmaceutical expenditure by not less than one thousand two hundred dollars ($1,200) per year for households with one or more members on chronic medication, based on CRS analysis of current domestic-to-G7 pricing differentials.
(2) HOUSING COST REDUCTION.—The institutional portfolio concentration caps and community land trust capitalization provisions of Title XIV are projected to reduce median monthly rent in the fifty most overconcentrated MSAs by not less than eight percent (8%) within five years, representing an average annual savings of nine hundred sixty dollars ($960) per renter household.
(3) ENERGY COST SAVINGS.—The sovereign energy dividend and rural electrification provisions of Title IX are projected to reduce average annual residential energy expenditure by not less than three hundred eighty dollars ($380) per household within ten years of full SMR grid integration.
(4) STUDENT DEBT RELIEF.—The zero-interest conversion and income-based forgiveness provisions of Title XV are projected to reduce average annual student debt burden by not less than two thousand four hundred dollars ($2,400) per borrower-household for the approximately forty-three million Americans currently carrying federal student loan debt.
(5) CHILD WEALTH BUILDING.—The Sovereign Child Prosperity Trust established in Section 503 is projected to provide every child born after enactment an accumulated account value of not less than thirty-two thousand dollars ($32,000) at age eighteen, representing the largest universal wealth-building intervention in American history.
(6) BROADBAND SAVINGS.—The price gouging prohibition and open-access mandate of Title VIII are projected to reduce average annual broadband expenditure by not less than two hundred forty dollars ($240) per household in currently monopolized markets.
(7) PENSION SECURITY.—The actuarial backstop trigger of Title VI is projected to prevent or remediate pension fund deficits affecting not fewer than twelve million American workers in defined-benefit plans currently operating below the ninety percent solvency floor.
(8) UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE SAVINGS (TITLE XXI).—The Basic Minimum Plan established under Title XXI eliminates all premiums, deductibles, copayments, and cost-sharing for covered health services for every enrolled United States resident. For the approximately twenty-eight million currently uninsured Americans, the BMP eliminates the average annual uninsured out-of-pocket healthcare exposure of not less than two thousand four hundred dollars ($2,400) per household and eliminates the average individual market annual premium of seven thousand eight hundred dollars ($7,800) for households currently purchasing coverage independently without employer assistance. For all households, the elimination of cost-sharing for primary care, mental health, and chronic disease management services is projected to reduce average annual household healthcare out-of-pocket expenditure by not less than one thousand eight hundred dollars ($1,800) per household within five (5) years of universal BMP deployment.
(b) AGGREGATE HOUSEHOLD BENEFIT FLOOR.—Based on the projections in subsection (a), the aggregate annual economic benefit to the median American household from full NSRA implementation — including the Basic Minimum Plan, Household Structural Relief Node, pharmaceutical parity, housing cost reduction, energy savings, broadband savings, and student debt relief — is projected to reach not less than five thousand five hundred eighty dollars ($5,580) per year in direct cost reductions and income supplements for a median two-adult household, rising to not less than nine thousand dollars ($9,000) per year for a two-adult household with two children, with additional indirect benefits from domestic job creation, infrastructure improvement, and environmental remediation. The prior aggregate benefit floor of three thousand seven hundred eighty dollars ($3,780) is hereby superseded by this updated projection incorporating Title XXI healthcare savings.
(c) FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY PROJECTION.—The Congressional Budget Office shall compute and publish, within one hundred eighty (180) days of enactment, a comprehensive ten-year fiscal impact model for this Act, including:
(1) Projected SIRF revenue from all penalty, clawback, assessment, and premium sources;
(2) Projected SIRF outlays by node and Title;
(3) Net fiscal effect on federal discretionary and mandatory spending;
(4) Projected GDP growth attributable to domestic manufacturing renaissance and household income support; and
(5) Dynamic scoring incorporating estimated multiplier effects of Sovereign Endowment Distributions on local economic velocity.
SEC. 1902. RETURN ON INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK.
(a) SIRF ROI MANDATE.—Every SIRF capital deployment under any node shall be subject to a mandatory Return on Investment Assessment, completed by the Government Accountability Office within twenty-four (24) months of initial deployment, measuring:
(1) Direct jobs created or retained per million dollars deployed;
(2) Domestic GDP multiplier achieved per million dollars deployed;
(3) Reduction in targeted social harm per million dollars deployed (e.g., reduced emergency room utilization, reduced eviction rates, reduced food insecurity indices); and
(4) Net SIRF revenue regeneration from the investment (penalty revenues, tax receipts, reduced public expenditure).
(b) CAPITAL REALLOCATION TRIGGER.—Any SIRF program demonstrating a return on investment below one dollar of aggregate benefit per dollar deployed over a thirty-six (36) month measurement window shall have its node allocation reduced by fifteen percent (15%) in the subsequent fiscal year, with the reallocated capital redirected to the highest-performing nodes by ROI.
(c) PERFORMANCE BONUS MECHANISM.—Any SIRF node program demonstrating a return on investment exceeding three dollars of aggregate benefit per dollar deployed shall receive a fifteen percent (15%) automatic allocation increase in the subsequent fiscal year, funded from the administrative operations reserve and any SIRF revenue surplus.
SEC. 1903. BIPARTISAN ECONOMIC MODELING TRANSPARENCY.
(a) OPEN DATA MANDATE.—All economic modeling, impact projections, and performance data generated by the FMIA, the Congressional Budget Office, the Government Accountability Office, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics pursuant to this Act shall be published in open, machine-readable formats within thirty (30) days of completion, freely accessible to academic researchers, think tanks, and the public without licensing fees.
(b) INDEPENDENT ACADEMIC REVIEW CONSORTIUM.—The FMIA shall contract with a consortium of not fewer than five (5) economically diverse academic institutions representing a range of economic perspectives to conduct annual independent peer reviews of NSRA performance data. At least two institutions in the consortium shall have demonstrated expertise in market-based economic frameworks.
(c) MINORITY ECONOMIC IMPACT ANALYSIS.—Every biennial CBO Sovereign Resilience Impact Report shall include a dedicated section analyzing differential economic impacts of NSRA provisions on rural versus urban communities, small businesses versus large corporations, and communities with above-median versus below-median household incomes.

Title XX, Bipartisan Safeguards & Pilot Gates
›
Bipartisan safeguards and pilot certification gates. No program affecting more than 10 million Americans or $5B in annual SIRF disbursements goes national until it passes a verified pilot. Preserves private markets, competition, and First Amendment protections.
TITLE XX — BIPARTISAN IMPLEMENTATION SAFEGUARDS AND MARKET COMPETITION PRESERVATION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 2001. MARKET COMPETITION PRESERVATION CLAUSE.
(a) ANTI-MONOPOLY COMMITMENT.—Nothing in this Act shall be construed to create any federal monopoly over any sector of the domestic economy. The federal government shall not, under any provision of this Act, acquire an equity ownership stake in any private Covered Entity except as a consequence of fraud recovery or structural clawback as a last-resort enforcement action, and any such equity shall be held only temporarily pending sale to a domestic private buyer.
(b) COMPETITIVE MARKET ENHANCEMENT.—The structural provisions of this Act are designed to enhance, not replace, competitive domestic markets by:
(1) Eliminating artificial regulatory advantages enjoyed by large corporate incumbents;
(2) Removing barriers to entry for small and medium-sized domestic enterprises;
(3) Redirecting penalty revenues from monopolistic practices into capitalization of competing domestic alternatives; and
(4) Creating a level playing field between domestic enterprises subject to American labor and environmental standards and foreign competitors that are not.
(c) SMALL BUSINESS BILL OF RIGHTS UNDER THIS ACT.—Every small business, as defined under 15 U.S.C. § 632, shall have the following rights in relation to NSRA enforcement:
(1) The right to sixty (60) days of free SBA technical compliance assistance before any penalty assessment;
(2) The right to an income-tiered penalty schedule under which penalties are reduced proportionally for businesses with annual revenues below ten million dollars ($10,000,000);
(3) The right to appeal any FMIA finding to the Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy before administrative finalization; and
(4) The right to apply for SIRF Vanguard Capital grants as an alternative to penalty payment, where the penalty relates to a domestic manufacturing or sourcing deficit.
SEC. 2002. FEDERALISM AND STATE SOVEREIGNTY PROTECTION.
(a) STATE FLEXIBILITY WAIVERS.—Any state may apply to the FMIA for a State Flexibility Waiver that permits the state to achieve the outcomes mandated by any Title of this Act through alternative mechanisms, provided the state demonstrates that its alternative mechanism will achieve outcomes at least equivalent to the federal mechanism within the same timeframe.
(b) WAIVER CRITERIA.—State Flexibility Waivers shall be approved within one hundred eighty (180) days of application if the state demonstrates:
(1) An equivalent or superior outcome metric for the Title in question;
(2) A funded implementation plan with at least twenty-five percent (25%) state matching funds; and
(3) A biennial accountability reporting structure compatible with the FDVM data standards.
(c) COOPERATIVE FEDERALISM GRANTS.—States that voluntarily align their own regulatory frameworks with NSRA provisions shall be eligible for a ten percent (10%) matching bonus on all SIRF formula grants directed to that state, recognizing cooperative partnership.
(d) STATE PREEMPTION FLOOR.—Nothing in this Act shall be construed to preempt any state law that provides protections equal to or greater than those required by this Act. States may establish higher minimum wages, stronger environmental standards, greater tenant protections, and stricter pharmaceutical pricing requirements than those mandated herein.
SEC. 2003. BIPARTISAN COMMISSION ON NSRA IMPLEMENTATION.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—There is established the Bipartisan Commission on National Sovereignty Act Implementation (BCNSI), consisting of sixteen (16) members:

(4) Make binding recommendations to Congress, subject to up-down vote under expedited procedures, regarding implementation adjustments required to improve bipartisan functionality.
(c) PILOT EXPANSION AUTHORITY.—The BCNSI shall have the authority to recommend, and the FMIA shall have the authority to implement, pilot program expansions of any NSRA provision to additional geographic areas, sectors, or population groups before mandatory nationwide deployment, allowing evidence-based refinement of implementation mechanisms.
SEC. 2004. DEFENSE INDUSTRIAL SOVEREIGNTY AND MILITARY SUPPLY CHAIN RESILIENCE.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that the defense industrial base of the United States has experienced dangerous concentration of production in foreign-controlled or foreign-dependent supply chains, representing a direct threat to national security. The structural resilience of military manufacturing is an extension of the Infrastructure Sovereignty mandate of this Act and is an area of documented bipartisan congressional consensus.
(b) CRITICAL DEFENSE MATERIAL DOMESTIC PRODUCTION MANDATE.—Within five (5) years of enactment, not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the following critical defense materials shall be manufactured in facilities located within the territorial United States or in the territory of a treaty ally with a reciprocal domestic content agreement:

(d) MILITARY FAMILY AMERICAN PRODUCTIVITY DIVIDEND PREMIUM.—Any household in which one or more members are on active duty military service, or are veterans with honorable discharge within the preceding ten (10) years, shall receive an additional monthly HSRN supplement of one hundred dollars ($100) per qualifying service member or veteran, funded from the SIRF Household Endowment Node, in recognition of the contribution of military service to the national commons.
SEC. 2005. CONSCIENCE AND RELIGIOUS FREEDOM PROTECTION CLAUSE.
(a) PROTECTION FROM COMPELLED PARTICIPATION.—Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require any individual, religious organization, faith-based nonprofit, or religiously-affiliated educational institution to participate in, endorse, or facilitate any program, transaction, or service that violates its sincerely held religious beliefs or constitutionally protected conscience rights, except where participation is strictly limited to the administrative receipt of funds disbursed pursuant to this Act for purposes consistent with the organization's mission.
(b) RFRA PRESERVATION.—All provisions of this Act shall be applied in a manner consistent with the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (42 U.S.C. § 2000bb et seq.). No FMIA enforcement action shall be brought against any entity whose non-compliance with an NSRA provision is required by a sincerely held religious belief or practice, without a prior determination by the Department of Justice that the enforcement action uses the least restrictive means to advance a compelling governmental interest.

SCHEDULE A — THE FEDERAL DATA VERACITY MATRIX ALGORITHMIC SPECIFICATION
(Enacted as a statutory annex to preserve Non-Delegation durability under Gundy v. United States, 139 S. Ct. 2116 (2019) and West Virginia v. EPA, 597 U.S. 697 (2022))
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. MATHEMATICAL VARIANCE CORE.—The automated tracking of structural variance for any monitored socioeconomic or physical asset layer shall operate via continuous telemetry mapping against a rolling historical baseline (Br).
2. THE TRIGGER EQUATION.—A reportable structural variance is hardcoded as:
|Tm - Br|
--------- x 100 ≥ 15.0%
Br
Where Tm represents real-time material telemetry ingested via un-tamperable digital data pipelines. If ΔS ≥ 15.0%, the Structured Accountability Engine is engaged with zero human administrative intervention authorized.
3. MULTI-LAYER VARIANCE COMPOSITE.—For sectors monitored across multiple simultaneous data layers (e.g., both pricing and supply volume for pharmaceutical markets), the composite structural variance score shall be calculated as:
ΔScomposite = √[(ΔS1² + ΔS2² + ... ΔSn²) / n]
Where each ΔSi represents the individual layer variance. The composite threshold for trigger engagement is fifteen percent (15.0%).
4. FALSE POSITIVE MITIGATION.—Before generating a Verified Structural Variance Report, the FDVM algorithm shall apply a seven-day data smoothing window to distinguish genuine structural variances from transient market noise. Transient variances lasting fewer than seven (7) consecutive days shall not generate a Verified Structural Variance Report.
5. ALGORITHM TRANSPARENCY.—The full source code of the FDVM algorithm shall be published on a publicly accessible federal repository within ninety (90) days of enactment and updated within thirty (30) days of any modification.

SCHEDULE B — PARTICULARIZED INJURY SPECIFICATIONS FOR ARTICLE III STANDING
(Enacted as a statutory annex to satisfy TransUnion LLC v. Ramirez, 594 U.S. 413 (2021) and Spokeo, Inc. v. Robins, 578 U.S. 330 (2016))
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. TITLE I (Data Integrity).—Concrete injury is defined as the explicit deprivation of a citizen's or agency's right to accurate data within a federal regulatory determination, resulting in a materially different outcome than would have occurred with accurate data.
2. TITLE II (SIRF Diversion).—Concrete injury is defined as the calculable economic loss and foregone employment wages suffered by domestic industrial workers due to an unlawful diversion of SIRF capital, calculated as the per-worker share of the unlawfully diverted sum applied to the SIRF Investment Impact Model.
3. TITLE V (Universal Prosperity).—Concrete injury is defined as the deprivation of a statutory entitlement in a specific, calculable dollar amount, calculated by applying the Household Structural Relief Node formula in Section 502(c) to the claimant's verified household profile.
4. TITLE XIII (Pharmaceutical Parity).—Concrete injury is defined as the exact dollar difference between the price paid by a patient for a covered therapeutic and the G7 median price of the identical therapeutic at the time of purchase.
5. TITLE XIV (Shelter Sovereignty).—Concrete injury is defined as the precise monthly dollar difference between actual rent paid and the formula-defined Structural Rent Baseline within an over-concentrated housing market.
6. TITLE XV (Knowledge Sovereignty).—Concrete injury is defined as the exact nominal dollar value of student loan interest accrued under a superseded predatory structure after the effective date of this Act.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SCHEDULE C — SIRF INVESTMENT IMPACT MODEL
(Enacted as a statutory annex for purposes of Sections 1801(a)(2) and 1902)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. PURPOSE.—The SIRF Investment Impact Model (SIIM) provides the standardized methodology for calculating the economic harm caused to domestic workers, manufacturers, and communities by any unlawful diversion of SIRF capital, for purposes of establishing concrete, particularized injury under Article III.
2. SIIM FORMULA.—The per-worker economic harm (H) from unlawful SIRF diversion (D) in a designated facility or community is calculated as:
H = D / [W x (1 + M)]
Where:
W = the number of affected domestic workers at the designated facility or in the affected community, as recorded in FDVM employment telemetry;
M = the FMIA-published regional employment multiplier for the affected sector (representing indirect and induced employment effects), set at a floor of 1.5 and a ceiling of 3.0.
3. COMMUNITY HARM CALCULATION.—For community-level harm calculations where no specific facility is the locus of diversion, H shall be calculated using the total working-age population of the affected zip code or census tract as W, with M set at the FMIA-published regional average multiplier.
4. MINIMUM COGNIZABLE HARM.—No enforcement action under Section 1801(a)(2) shall be cognizable unless the calculated per-worker harm H exceeds five hundred dollars ($500) per affected worker. This floor is established to satisfy the concreteness requirement of TransUnion LLC v. Ramirez.

(a) PILOT REQUIREMENT.—No program established under Titles V, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, XIII, XIV, or XV of this Act that requires national deployment affecting more than ten million (10,000,000) Americans or more than five billion dollars ($5,000,000,000) in annual SIRF disbursements shall proceed to national deployment until it has successfully completed a Pilot Certification Gate as established in this section.
(b) PILOT PROGRAM STANDARDS.—A qualifying pilot program shall:
(1) Operate in not fewer than three (3) geographically and economically diverse states or Metropolitan Statistical Areas for not less than twelve (12) continuous months;
(2) Be evaluated by the Government Accountability Office against the performance benchmarks established in Schedule D for the applicable Title;
(3) Achieve not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the applicable Schedule D twelve-month benchmark during the pilot period; and
(4) Produce no material constitutional violation findings from the relevant federal courts during the pilot period.
(c) FAILED PILOT REMEDIATION.—If a pilot program fails to achieve the threshold in subsection (b)(3), the program shall be redesigned and re-piloted for an additional twelve (12) months before national deployment. Congress shall receive a remediation plan within sixty (60) days of pilot failure certification.
(d) EXPEDITED PILOTS FOR EMERGENCY PROGRAMS.—The insulin price cap (Sec. 1303), zero-interest student loan conversion (Sec. 1501), and pharmaceutical G7 parity monitoring (Sec. 1301) are exempt from the Pilot Certification Gate as these operate through existing regulatory and payment infrastructure and do not require new program construction.

Title XVIII, Due Process & Constitutional Safeguards
›
The constitutional due process engine. Every enforcement action has mandatory pre-deprivation notice: 45 days for financial clawbacks, 60 days for operational restrictions, 180 days for divestment orders. Engineered to satisfy Mathews v. Eldridge and prevent federal court injunctions.
TITLE XVIII — PROCEDURAL DUE PROCESS AND SPECIAL STANDING CONTROLS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 1801. STANDING — CONCRETE INJURY SPECIFICATION BY TITLE.
(a) GENERAL RULE.—For purposes of conferring Article III standing in any enforcement action under this Act, a structural variance finding by the Federal Data Veracity Matrix shall constitute prima facie evidence of the following concrete, particularized injuries to the specified plaintiff classes:
(1) TITLE I — DATA INTEGRITY INJURIES.—Plaintiff class: Any federal agency, state government, or individual whose regulatory rights, benefit determinations, or enforcement outcomes were materially affected by data reported in violation of the FDVM standards. Concrete injury: Deprivation of the right to accurate federal data in a regulatory determination affecting a legally cognizable interest.
(2) TITLE II — SIRF DIVERSION INJURIES.—Plaintiff class: Any domestic manufacturer, infrastructure operator, or worker employed at a SIRF-designated facility that did not receive investment due to unlawful diversion of SIRF-eligible funds. Concrete injury: Quantifiable economic loss attributable to the funding gap created by the unlawful diversion, calculated per the SIRF Investment Impact Model in Schedule C.
(3) TITLE V — STRUCTURAL ELIGIBILITY INJURIES.—Plaintiff class: Any individual denied a Sovereign Endowment Distribution or Sovereign Child Prosperity Trust deposit on the basis of criteria superseded by this Act. Concrete injury: Deprivation of a statutory entitlement in a specific dollar amount, calculable per the endowment formula in Title V, Sections 502 and 503.

Concrete injury: The difference between actual rent paid and the Structural Rent Baseline, calculated monthly and capped at the statutory maximum.
(5) TITLE XV — KNOWLEDGE SOVEREIGNTY INJURIES.—Plaintiff class: Any borrower subject to interest accrual under a predatory lending structure superseded by this Act after the Act's effective date. Concrete injury: The dollar value of interest accrued under the superseded structure after the effective date.
(6) TITLE XIII — PHARMACEUTICAL PRICING INJURIES.—Plaintiff class: Any individual who purchased a drug subject to the G7 parity mandate at a price exceeding the parity ceiling. Concrete injury: The dollar difference between the price paid and the G7 parity price for each purchase.
(b) DIFFUSE HARM PROHIBITION.—No enforcement action under this Act shall be predicated solely on a generalized harm to "society," "the economy," or "systemic integrity" absent identification of a plaintiff class suffering the concrete, particularized injuries enumerated in subsection (a).
(c) ASSOCIATIONAL STANDING.—Labor unions, housing advocacy organizations, community development financial institutions, and consumer protection organizations may assert associational standing on behalf of members suffering injuries enumerated in subsection (a), provided the organization identifies at least one named member with a ripe, concrete injury.
SEC. 1802. DUE PROCESS — MANDATORY PRE-DEPRIVATION NOTICE SCHEDULE.
(a) MINIMUM NOTICE WINDOWS — PATCH R-07.—The following minimum pre-deprivation notice periods are hereby established by statute and may not be reduced by agency rulemaking, pursuant to Mathews v. Eldridge, 424 U.S. 319 (1976):
(1) FINANCIAL CLAWBACK ACTIONS.—Minimum notice of forty-five (45) calendar days from written notice of proposed clawback, including a statement of the specific structural variance finding and calculated clawback amount.
(2) OPERATIONAL RESTRICTIONS.—Minimum notice of sixty (60) calendar days from written notice of proposed restriction, including identification of specific conduct triggering the restriction.
(3) DIVESTMENT TRIGGERS (TITLE XIV).—Minimum notice of one hundred eighty (180) calendar days, plus a 30-day cure-plan submission period during which enforcement is stayed.
(4) BENEFIT ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATIONS (TITLE V).—Minimum notice of thirty (30) calendar days from proposed adverse determination, with an automatic stay of adverse action during any timely filed administrative appeal.
(b) NOTICE CONTENT REQUIREMENTS.—All notices issued under this section shall include:
(1) The specific FDVM finding triggering the action;
(2) The proposed action in plain language;
(3) The statutory and regulatory basis for the action;
(4) The opportunity to submit written response within the notice period; and
(5) The right to de novo judicial review of the final action.
(c) AGENCY ENHANCEMENT PERMITTED.—Agencies may establish notice periods longer than those specified in subsection (a) but may not reduce them.
(d) VOID ACTIONS.—Any deprivation action taken without the minimum notice required by this section is void ab initio and shall not constitute a final agency action subject to judicial review.
SEC. 1803. ADMINISTRATIVE APPEALS AND JUDICIAL REVIEW.
(a) INTERNAL APPEAL RIGHT.—Every Covered Entity subject to an enforcement action, clawback, or operational restriction under any Title of this Act shall have the right to file an administrative appeal with the FMIA's Office of Administrative Review within forty-five (45) calendar days of the final enforcement notice. The Office of Administrative Review shall be composed of administrative law judges appointed under 5 U.S.C. § 3105, who are organizationally independent from the FMIA's enforcement division.
(b) APPEAL DECISION TIMELINE.—The Office of Administrative Review shall issue a written decision on any appeal within ninety (90) calendar days of appeal filing. During the pendency of any timely filed appeal, all enforcement actions except those involving imminent threat of irreversible harm shall be automatically stayed.
(c) JUDICIAL REVIEW.—Any party adversely affected by a final administrative decision of the FMIA may seek judicial review in the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The standard of review shall be:
(1) For findings of fact: substantial evidence on the record as a whole, per 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(E);

(3) For discretionary enforcement decisions: arbitrary and capricious, per 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(A).
(d) PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION STANDARD.—No court shall grant a preliminary injunction staying any provision of this Act without finding all four elements of the traditional equity standard: (1) likelihood of success on the merits; (2) irreparable harm in the absence of relief; (3) balance of equities favoring the movant; and (4) public interest in granting relief. The financial burden on a Covered Entity of paying into the SIRF pending appeal shall not, standing alone, constitute irreparable harm.
SEC. 1803A. CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT AND SUNSET REVIEWS.
(a) ANNUAL REPORT TO CONGRESS.—The FMIA shall transmit to Congress, not later than March 1 of each year, a comprehensive Annual Sovereignty Report detailing:
(1) The number and dollar value of structural variance findings and enforcement actions in the preceding fiscal year;
(2) SIRF capitalization levels, deployment rates, and beneficiary counts by Title;
(3) Household economic impact data disaggregated by income quintile, geographic region, and demographic group;
(4) Constitutional compliance assessments updated by outside counsel; and
(5) Legislative recommendations for structural modifications based on performance data.
(b) SUNSET REVIEW TRIGGER.—Any Title of this Act that fails to demonstrate measurable progress toward its statutory objectives in two consecutive Annual Sovereignty Reports, as verified by the Government Accountability Office, shall be subject to an automatic Congressional Joint Review pursuant to the procedures established by the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970 (Pub. L. 91-510).
(c) BIPARTISAN OVERSIGHT COMMISSION.—There is established the National Sovereignty Oversight Commission (NSOC), consisting of twelve (12) members: four appointed by the Speaker of the House, four by the House Minority Leader, two by the Senate Majority Leader, and two by the Senate Minority Leader. The NSOC shall conduct quarterly oversight hearings on NSRA implementation and shall have the authority to subpoena records and testimony from the FMIA and any Covered Entity.
(d) STATE SOVEREIGNTY CONSULTATION PROTOCOL.—Before any FMIA regulation is finalized that imposes new requirements on state governments, the FMIA shall convene a thirty (30) day consultation period with the National Governors Association and the National Conference of State Legislatures. Final regulations shall include a written response to all substantive state concerns raised during consultation.
SEC. 1803B. MANDATORY CONGRESSIONAL REAUTHORIZATION.
(a) SIRF REAUTHORIZATION.—The Sovereign Infrastructure Reinvestment Fund established under Section 201 shall be subject to mandatory Congressional reauthorization not later than ten (10) years after the date of enactment of this Act, and every ten (10) years thereafter. Reauthorization shall be by Act of Congress, and shall include:
(1) A comprehensive review by the Government Accountability Office of SIRF capitalization levels, investment deployment efficiency, and economic impact on domestic manufacturing, housing, energy, and infrastructure;
(2) A Congressional Budget Office score of projected SIRF revenues and obligations for the succeeding ten-year period; and
(3) A public hearing by the relevant committees of jurisdiction in both chambers.
(b) FAILURE TO REAUTHORIZE.—If Congress fails to enact a reauthorization Act prior to the applicable deadline:
(1) All active SIRF deployment commitments to Vanguard Entities and infrastructure projects under construction shall continue to be honored through their contractual terms;
(2) No new SIRF investment commitments shall be made after the deadline date until reauthorization is enacted; and
(3) SIRF revenue deposits shall continue to accumulate in the SIRF lockbox pending reauthorization.
(c) FMIA REAUTHORIZATION.—The Federal Market Integrity Administration established under Title I shall be subject to mandatory Congressional reauthorization not later than seven (7) years after the date of enactment of this Act, and every seven (7) years thereafter. Reauthorization shall include a comprehensive Inspector General audit of FMIA enforcement actions, regulatory capture risk assessment, and performance against all Schedule H benchmarks. The failure of Congress to reauthorize the FMIA shall not affect the validity of any prior FMIA enforcement action or Verified Structural Variance finding.
(d) ADVANCE NOTICE TO CONGRESS.—Not later than two (2) years before each applicable reauthorization deadline, the FMIA Administrator shall transmit to Congress a Reauthorization Readiness Report containing all data necessary for Congress to conduct the required review, including performance metrics, enforcement statistics, constitutional compliance assessments, and the SIRF IG's independent evaluation.
SEC. 1804. PRE-DEPRIVATION PROCEDURAL DUE PROCESS ARCHITECTURE.
(a) MATHEWS v. ELDRIDGE COMPLIANCE MANDATE.—All enforcement actions under this Act that deprive a Covered Entity or individual of a protected property interest shall satisfy the three-factor balancing test established in Mathews v. Eldridge, 424 U.S. 319 (1976): (1) the private interest affected; (2) the risk of erroneous deprivation and value of additional safeguards; and (3) the government's interest. To structurally satisfy this test, the following hardcoded pre-deprivation notice windows are mandatory:
(b) CONTROLLING NOTICE WINDOWS — INCORPORATION OF SECTION 1802.—The minimum pre-deprivation notice windows applicable to all enforcement actions under this Act are those established in Section 1802(a), which is the single controlling notice schedule. For the avoidance of doubt and to eliminate any conflicting schedule, the windows are: forty-five (45) calendar days for financial clawback actions; sixty (60) calendar days for operational restrictions or license suspensions; one hundred eighty (180) calendar days, plus the thirty (30) day cure-plan submission period of Section 1802(a)(3), for asset seizure or forced divestment; and thirty (30) calendar days for benefit eligibility determinations. No provision of this Section shall be construed to establish a notice window shorter than, or otherwise in conflict with, Section 1802(a). For any enforcement action involving asset seizure, forfeiture, forced divestment, or structural clawback exceeding five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000), the FMIA shall observe the one hundred eighty (180) day window of Section 1802(a)(3) and shall not execute the action without an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Judicial Verification Warrant as specified in subsection (c).
(c) ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE JUDICIAL VERIFICATION WARRANT.—
(1) REQUIREMENT.—Before any asset seizure, forfeiture, or forced divestment exceeding five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) may execute, the FMIA shall obtain a Judicial Verification Warrant issued by an independent Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) appointed pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 3105.
(2) ALJ REVIEW STANDARD.—The ALJ shall review: (i) whether the FMIA's Verified Structural Variance finding is supported by substantial evidence; (ii) whether the proposed remedy is proportionate to the violation; and (iii) whether the pre-deprivation notice requirements of this section were satisfied.
(3) TIMELINE.—The ALJ shall issue a decision within thirty (30) calendar days of receiving the FMIA's warrant application. Failure to decide within thirty days shall be deemed a denial without prejudice, permitting the FMIA to refile with additional evidence.
(4) ANTI-INJUNCTION SHIELD.—An ALJ Judicial Verification Warrant issued under this section shall constitute a complete defense against any preliminary injunction sought by the target entity in federal district court under the Anti-Injunction Act, 26 U.S.C. § 7421, provided that the FMIA demonstrates: (i) compliance with all pre-deprivation notice windows; and (ii) ALJ warrant issuance.
(d) EMERGENCY BYPASS.—In exigent circumstances where observance of the applicable pre-deprivation notice window otherwise required under Section 1802(a) — whether the forty-five (45), sixty (60), or one hundred eighty (180) day window — would create an imminent, irreversible harm to the national interest, including active financial fraud, imminent asset flight, or public health emergency, the FMIA may apply for an Emergency Enforcement Order from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia on 24-hour notice to the target entity, with a full Mathews hearing scheduled within fourteen (14) days of the emergency order's issuance. The emergency bypass shall not be available to shorten the one hundred eighty (180) day divestment window of Section 1802(a)(3) except upon the District Court's express finding of imminent, irreversible harm specific to the assets subject to divestment.
SEC. 1805. EMERGENCY JUDICIAL REVIEW TRACK AND AUTOMATIC STAY PROTECTION.
(a) EMERGENCY REVIEW TRACK — ESTABLISHMENT.—The Judicial Conference of the United States shall, within one hundred eighty (180) days of enactment, establish an Emergency Sovereign Enforcement Track in each United States District Court and Court of Appeals, providing expedited adjudication of all enforcement actions under this Act that involve asset freezes, operational restrictions, property transfers, or penalties exceeding one million dollars ($1,000,000). Target adjudication timelines shall be:
(1) Emergency temporary restraining orders: four (4) hours from filing;
(2) Preliminary injunction hearings: seventy-two (72) hours from TRO;
(3) Final orders on merits: forty-five (45) days from complaint; and
(4) Appellate review of final orders: sixty (60) days from notice of appeal.
(b) AUTOMATIC STAY OF IRREVERSIBLE ACTIONS.—Notwithstanding any provision of this Act establishing self-executing automatic enforcement:
(1) No transfer of real property title shall take effect until the earlier of: (A) expiration of the applicable administrative appeal period without a timely appeal; or (B) final judicial affirmance of the enforcement order;
(2) No corporate charter revocation shall take effect pending any timely filed appeal to the relevant United States Court of Appeals; and
(3) No data center grid operational restriction exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) power reduction shall take effect until a court of competent jurisdiction has issued or declined to issue a stay within the seventy-two (72) hour emergency TRO timeline.
(c) BOND IN LIEU OF AUTOMATIC STAY.—Any Covered Entity seeking an automatic stay of a monetary clawback or penalty assessment may post a bond equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the assessed amount with the FMIA in lieu of immediate payment, which shall toll all enforcement timelines while the appeal is pending. Bond proceeds shall be released to the SIRF upon final adverse judgment, or returned to the posting entity upon final favorable judgment.
(d) COMMERCE CLAUSE FINDINGS — PER TITLE.—To support Commerce Clause jurisdiction for each enforcement domain, Congress hereby finds:
(1) The activities regulated under Title I (data reporting) constitute instrumentalities of interstate commerce in that they directly affect the pricing, allocation, and flow of goods and services across state lines;
(2) The activities regulated under Title VII (agricultural markets) are channels of interstate commerce affecting the national food supply;
(3) The activities regulated under Title XIII (pharmaceutical pricing) involve goods that cross state lines and involve federal patent protections grounded in the Patent Clause;
(4) The activities regulated under Title XIV (housing markets) involve the interstate flow of capital, mortgage financing, and real estate investment trust securities; and
(5) All other Titles regulate economic activities that in the aggregate substantially affect interstate commerce, satisfying the standard of Gonzales v. Raich, 545 U.S. 1 (2005).
SEC. 1806. ECONOMIC EMERGENCY FINDINGS — CAPITAL FLIGHT LOCK AUTHORITY.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that:
(1) The authority to impose temporary capital flow restrictions on Covered Entities engaged in documented asymmetric capital flight constitutes an exercise of the war and emergency powers of Congress, grounded in the Commerce Clause (Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 3), the Necessary and Proper Clause (Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 18), and the precedent established by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. §§ 1701–1708) ("IEEPA");
(2) Capital flight restrictions imposed under this Title target conduct that constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the domestic economy, the stability of the SIRF capitalization framework, and the national interest;
(3) The procedural protections of this Title — including ALJ warrant requirements, pre-deprivation notice windows, and emergency judicial review — are specifically calibrated to satisfy the substantive due process requirements of Mathews v. Eldridge, 424 U.S. 319 (1976), and to ensure that capital flight restrictions do not constitute an unconstitutional taking under the Fifth Amendment;
(4) Any capital flow restriction imposed under this Title shall be the minimum necessary to address the documented flight conduct, shall be time-limited, and shall be subject to immediate judicial review under the Emergency Sovereign Enforcement Track of Section 1805.
(b) PRESIDENTIAL EMERGENCY DECLARATION REQUIREMENT.—No capital flow lock, asset freeze, or forced domestic repatriation order affecting a Covered Entity's liquid capital assets in excess of one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) may take effect under this Act unless:
(1) The President has issued a written determination, consistent with 50 U.S.C. § 1703(b), that the conduct of the relevant Covered Entity or class of entities constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the domestic economic order;
(2) The President has transmitted such determination to Congress within forty-eight (48) hours of issuance; and
(3) An ALJ Judicial Verification Warrant has been issued pursuant to Section 1804(c) (Pre-Deprivation Procedural Due Process Architecture — Administrative Law Judge Judicial Verification Warrant).
(c) TEMPORAL LIMITATION.—Any capital flow lock imposed under this section shall expire automatically after one hundred eighty (180) calendar days unless renewed by an Act of Congress. The FMIA shall notify the affected entity of the expiration or renewal determination not less than thirty (30) days before the expiration date.
(d) SEVERABILITY.—The authority established in this section is severable from all other enforcement authorities of this Act. A judicial determination that any specific capital flow lock was unconstitutionally imposed shall not affect the validity of any other enforcement action under this Act.

Title XXVI, Social Security Sovereignty Commission
›
Creates the National Social Security Sovereignty Commission, a permanent, independent bipartisan body charged with auditing and strengthening Social Security's long-term solvency. Not a privatization vehicle. A structural integrity engine with binding reporting requirements to Congress.
TITLE XXVI — NATIONAL SOCIAL SECURITY SOVEREIGNTY COMMISSION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 2601. ESTABLISHMENT AND MANDATE.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—There is established the National Social Security Sovereignty Commission (NSSSC), an independent, bipartisan commission charged with developing a comprehensive, actuarially sound plan to ensure the long-term solvency of the Social Security trust funds without benefit cuts to current or near-retirement beneficiaries.
(b) COMPOSITION.—The NSSSC shall consist of twelve (12) members:
(1) Three (3) members appointed by the President;
(2) Three (3) members appointed by the Senate Majority Leader;
(3) Three (3) members appointed by the Senate Minority Leader;
(4) Three (3) members appointed by the House Minority and Majority Leaders jointly.
No more than six (6) members shall be of the same political party. At least four (4) members shall be credentialed actuaries or economists with demonstrated expertise in federal retirement program finance.
(c) MANDATE.—The NSSSC shall, within twenty-four (24) months of enactment, deliver to Congress a National Social Security Sovereignty Plan that:
(1) Identifies the projected date of trust fund exhaustion under current law and under NSRA economic projections;
(2) Models not fewer than five (5) distinct solvency mechanisms, including but not limited to: payroll tax base adjustments, benefit indexing modifications, means-testing for high-income beneficiaries, investment authority for trust fund reserves, and SIRF revenue supplementation;
(3) Scores each mechanism for distributional impact, political viability, and actuarial sufficiency;
(4) Recommends a preferred solvency pathway that preserves full scheduled benefits for all beneficiaries at or below three hundred percent (300%) of the federal poverty level;
(5) Provides draft statutory language for the recommended pathway, ready for Congressional action.
(d) SIRF SUPPLEMENTATION OPTION.—The Commission shall specifically evaluate whether SIRF equity returns beginning in Year 8–10 may be partially allocated to the Social Security trust funds as a supplemental revenue mechanism, and whether the NSRA's economic stimulus effects (increased employment, reduced healthcare burden, manufacturing renaissance) materially improve the trust fund's actuarial baseline beyond current CBO projections.
(e) TIMELINE.—Congress shall hold hearings on the Commission's recommendations within sixty (60) days of delivery and schedule a floor vote on implementing legislation within one hundred eighty (180) days.
(f) FUNDING.—The NSSSC shall be funded from the SIRF Administrative Operations Reserve at a cost not to exceed twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000) over its operational period.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Title XXXII, Dollar Sovereignty & Reserve Currency Defense
›
Five coordinated mechanisms to defend the dollar's reserve currency status: (1) Allied Settlement Compact, allied nations that commit to USD-denominated trade receive infrastructure co-investment from SIRF; simultaneous use of SWIFT-alternative settlement networks is prohibited under compact terms. (2) Treasury Bond Credibility Engine, statutory primary surplus targets and automatic debt-ceiling suspension to prevent credibility crises. (3) Petrodollar Modernization, updates USD oil settlement architecture for a multi-energy-source world. (4) SWIFT Sovereign Defense, authorizes retaliatory countermeasures against nations operating adversarial SWIFT-alternative routing infrastructure. (5) Digital Dollar Sovereignty, authorizes the Fed to develop a CBDC (DDSI) as a complement to, not replacement of, commercial banking; privacy-protected, Fourth Amendment-compliant; runs on Sovereign Compute Authority hardware (Title XXXIII).
TITLE XXXII — DOLLAR SOVEREIGNTY AND RESERVE CURRENCY DEFENSE ACT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 3201. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that:
(1) The United States dollar's status as the world's primary reserve currency is not a permanent fixture of the global financial order but a geopolitical asset requiring active, deliberate, and legally structured defense.
(2) The dollar's reserve currency status generates an estimated structural benefit to the United States economy of between five hundred billion dollars ($500,000,000,000) and one trillion dollars ($1,000,000,000,000) annually in the form of reduced borrowing costs, seigniorage revenue, and geopolitical leverage — a benefit that has never been formally codified as a national security interest subject to statutory protection.
(3) The coordinated actions of the BRICS economic bloc, including the development of alternative payment settlement rails, the gradual displacement of USD-denominated commodity trade, and the expansion of the IMF Special Drawing Rights basket, represent a material and escalating threat to the dollar's reserve currency status that the existing statutory framework is structurally unprepared to address.
(4) The erosion of petrodollar settlement arrangements — particularly the acceptance of non-USD currencies for hydrocarbon trade by nations historically committed to USD settlement — represents an ongoing and quantifiable degradation of dollar demand that, if uncorrected, will accelerate Treasury borrowing costs and weaken the United States' capacity to fund its sovereign obligations.
(5) The proliferation of SWIFT-alternative interbank settlement systems, including the Chinese Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS) and the multi-central-bank mBridge platform, creates parallel financial infrastructure specifically designed to route international trade outside the jurisdiction of U.S. law, U.S. sanctions enforcement, and dollar-denominated clearing.
(6) The absence of a coherent domestic Digital Dollar sovereign architecture creates a structural vacuum that, if unaddressed, will cede the digital currency reserve instrument space to foreign central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), particularly the digital yuan, thereby undermining dollar dominance in the emerging digital payment layer of the global economy.
(7) The fiscal credibility of the United States Treasury bond market — the foundational instrument of dollar reserve status — is directly dependent on the United States' capacity to demonstrate structural deficit reduction and long-term sovereign solvency, which the revenue and expenditure architecture of this Act directly supports.
(b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this Title is to establish a comprehensive, legally enforceable architecture for the active defense of the dollar's reserve currency status, through five coordinated mechanisms: the Allied Settlement Compact; the Treasury Bond Credibility Engine; Petrodollar Modernization; SWIFT Sovereign Defense; and Digital Dollar Sovereignty.
SEC. 3202. DEFINITIONS — TITLE XXXII.
As used in this Title:
(1) ALLIED SETTLEMENT COMPACT (ASC).—The network of bilateral and multilateral trade settlement agreements authorized under Section 3203, under which signatory nations commit to denominating specified categories of bilateral trade in United States dollars as a condition of preferred access to U.S. market, security, technology, and financial cooperation.

(6) TREASURY CREDIBILITY INDEX (TCI).—The composite metric established by the Secretary of the Treasury under Section 3204, tracking deficit trajectory, debt-to-GDP ratio, SIRF revenue performance, and international demand for USD-denominated Treasury instruments as a unified measure of sovereign fiscal credibility.
SEC. 3203. THE ALLIED SETTLEMENT COMPACT.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—The Secretary of State, in coordination with the Secretary of the Treasury and the United States Trade Representative, is authorized and directed to negotiate and enter into Allied Settlement Compact agreements with allied and partner nations. Such agreements shall, at minimum, provide that:
(1) Bilateral trade in the following categories shall be denominated and settled in United States dollars: (A) defense articles and services governed by the Arms Export Control Act; (B) energy and hydrocarbon products where the United States is a material supplier or transit jurisdiction; (C) agricultural commodities covered by existing trade agreements; and (D) pharmaceutical and medical supply chains receiving U.S. regulatory certification.
(2) Signatory nations shall not simultaneously participate in any SWIFT-alternative settlement network for the categories of trade covered by the Allied Settlement Compact without express written waiver from the Secretary of the Treasury.
(3) Signatories receive reciprocal benefits including: preferred access to SIRF co-investment infrastructure funds; expedited U.S. regulatory harmonization; technology transfer cooperation under the Export Administration Regulations; and enhanced intelligence-sharing frameworks.
(b) PRIORITY NATIONS.—The Secretary of State shall initiate ASC negotiations within one hundred eighty (180) days of enactment with the following priority partner categories: (1) all NATO member states; (2) Indo-Pacific allies under existing mutual defense treaties; (3) Gulf Cooperation Council member states with active hydrocarbon trade relationships; (4) G7 members not otherwise covered.
(c) ANNUAL REPORT.—The Secretary of State shall submit to the Committees on Foreign Relations of the Senate and International Relations of the House an annual ASC Status Report detailing: (1) nations that have executed ASC agreements; (2) nations in active negotiation; (3) nations that have declined and the stated reason; (4) estimated dollar demand generated by executed ASC agreements in the preceding fiscal year.
(d) INCENTIVE FUND.—There is established in the Treasury the Allied Settlement Compact Incentive Fund, capitalized at an initial authorized level of two billion dollars ($2,000,000,000) from SIRF revenues, to provide concessional financing, technical assistance, and infrastructure co-investment to ASC signatory nations as consideration for their USD settlement commitments.
SEC. 3204. THE TREASURY BOND CREDIBILITY ENGINE.
(a) STATUTORY DEFICIT REDUCTION FLOOR.—Beginning in fiscal year 2029, the Secretary of the Treasury shall certify to Congress at the commencement of each fiscal year that the projected federal deficit for that fiscal year, as a percentage of GDP, is no greater than the deficit of the preceding fiscal year unless: (1) the President has declared a national emergency under applicable statutory authority; (2) GDP growth has contracted by more than two percent (2%) in the preceding four quarters, as certified by the Bureau of Economic Analysis; or (3) Congress has enacted a specific statutory waiver by a simple majority of both chambers and such waiver is signed by the President or enacted over a Presidential veto pursuant to Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution. No supermajority requirement shall apply to Congressional modification of this deficit floor; it is the intent of Congress that this floor function as a statement of fiscal discipline and accountability, enforceable through the FMIA reporting mechanisms of Section 3407, not as a constitutional constraint on future Congresses.
(b) TREASURY CREDIBILITY INDEX.—The Secretary of the Treasury shall publish, on the first business day of each quarter, a Treasury Credibility Index report covering: (1) the rolling 12-month federal deficit as a percentage of GDP; (2) the 10-year trajectory of debt-to-GDP; (3) net international demand for USD-denominated Treasury securities in the prior quarter; (4) SIRF revenue performance against certified projections; and (5) the spread between U.S. 10-year Treasury yields and a weighted average of G7 equivalent sovereign instruments.
(c) NSRA SURPLUS DESIGNATION.—The net annual fiscal surplus generated by the revenue and expenditure architecture of this Act — estimated at four hundred fifty billion dollars ($450,000,000,000) annually in Year 1 after mandatory growth investments — is hereby designated a Sovereign Credibility Reserve and shall be applied, in the following priority order: (1) mandatory debt service on all outstanding Treasury obligations; (2) SIRF infrastructure capitalization up to the annually certified minimum; (3) net deficit reduction, publicly reported as a reduction to the debt-to-GDP ratio; (4) supplemental Household Structural Relief Node capitalization.
(d) FOREIGN RESERVE DEMAND PROGRAM.—The Secretary of the Treasury, in coordination with the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, shall establish a Foreign Reserve Demand Program under which allied central banks may access designated USD-denominated Treasury instrument tranches at preferred auction terms as an incentive to maintain or increase USD reserve holdings, subject to ASC participation and compliance with Section 3205 SWIFT Sovereign Defense requirements.
(e) CREDIT RATING TRANSPARENCY.—The FMIA shall monitor and publicly report quarterly on any actions by Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations that affect the credit rating of U.S. sovereign debt, including the methodological basis for any rating change, and shall refer to the Securities and Exchange Commission for investigation any rating action that cannot be substantiated by the TCI metrics published under subsection (b).
SEC. 3205. PETRODOLLAR MODERNIZATION.
(a) HYDROCARBON TRADE SETTLEMENT POLICY.—It is the policy of the United States that hydrocarbon energy trade conducted by or through U.S.-incorporated entities, U.S. financial institutions, or entities operating under U.S. export licenses shall be denominated and settled in United States dollars, except as provided in subsection (b).
(b) AUTHORIZED EXCEPTIONS.—The Secretary of the Treasury may, upon petition, authorize non-USD settlement for specific hydrocarbon transactions where: (1) the settlement currency is that of a U.S. treaty ally and the transaction does not involve any Reserve Currency Threat Actor; and (2) the Secretary certifies in writing that the exception will not materially reduce global demand for USD-denominated settlement.
(c) SECURITY COOPERATION LINKAGE.—The Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of State, shall include USD settlement compliance as an explicit criterion in the annual review of Foreign Military Financing, International Military Education and Training, and security assistance programs. Nations that have materially shifted hydrocarbon settlement away from USD toward SWIFT-alternative or non-allied-currency systems within the preceding twenty-four (24) months shall be subject to a mandatory congressional notification and a ninety (90) day review before any new security assistance commitments are authorized.
(d) PETRODOLLAR MODERNIZATION FUND.—There is established the Petrodollar Modernization Fund, capitalized at five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000) from SIRF revenues, to provide energy infrastructure technical assistance and co-investment to Petrodollar Compact Nations as an affirmative incentive to maintain USD-denominated hydrocarbon trade in the transition to clean energy markets. The Fund shall specifically prioritize nations whose economies are heavily dependent on hydrocarbon export revenues and who face structural pressure to shift to non-USD settlement from Reserve Currency Threat Actors.
(e) CLEAN ENERGY PETRODOLLAR TRANSITION.—Recognizing that the long-term transition to clean energy requires modernizing the petrodollar framework beyond hydrocarbons, the Secretary of the Treasury shall, within two (2) years of enactment, publish a Clean Energy Reserve Currency Strategy identifying the categories of clean energy trade — including rare earth elements, battery materials, solar panel components, and green hydrogen — that should be designated as USD-settlement priority commodities under ASC agreements to ensure that the energy transition reinforces rather than erodes dollar reserve status.
SEC. 3206. SWIFT SOVEREIGN DEFENSE.
(a) PROHIBITION ON UNAUTHORIZED SWIFT-ALTERNATIVE ROUTING.—It shall be unlawful for any U.S.-incorporated financial institution, U.S.-chartered bank, or entity subject to U.S. jurisdiction to route, clear, or settle international financial transactions through any SWIFT-Alternative Network for the benefit of a Reserve Currency Threat Actor without prior written authorization from the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the Secretary of the Treasury.
(b) STRICT LIABILITY PENALTIES.—Any violation of subsection (a) shall subject the responsible entity to: (1) a civil monetary penalty of not less than the greater of one million dollars ($1,000,000) or three times the value of the transaction routed through the unauthorized network; (2) suspension of Federal Reserve discount window access for a period of not less than ninety (90) days; and (3) mandatory referral to the Department of Justice for criminal investigation if the pattern of violations exceeds five (5) transactions within any twelve (12) month period.
(c) AUTHORIZED ALTERNATIVE ROUTING.—The Secretary of the Treasury may authorize specific SWIFT-alternative routing for: (1) humanitarian transactions in sanctioned jurisdictions where SWIFT access has been blocked; (2) transactions with treaty allies where both governments have entered into a mutual recognition agreement governing the alternative network; and (3) pilot transactions under formal regulatory sandbox approvals.
(d) SWIFT MODERNIZATION INVESTMENT.—The Federal Reserve Board of Governors, in coordination with the Secretary of the Treasury and U.S. financial industry representatives, shall develop and publish within one (1) year of enactment a SWIFT Modernization Roadmap identifying the technical, governance, and operational improvements necessary to ensure that the SWIFT network remains the preferred global settlement infrastructure, including: (1) transaction speed improvements to match or exceed SWIFT-alternative network benchmarks; (2) expanded currency and asset class coverage; (3) enhanced cybersecurity architecture consistent with the quantum migration pipeline established in Title XVI; and (4) governance reforms that preserve U.S. influence within the SWIFT cooperative structure.
(e) ALLIED SWIFT DEFENSE COALITION.—The Secretary of State shall pursue the establishment of an Allied SWIFT Defense Coalition among G7 and NATO member states, committing participating nations to: (1) coordinated enforcement against SWIFT-alternative routing by Reserve Currency Threat Actors; (2) shared intelligence on emerging alternative settlement infrastructure; (3) joint investment in SWIFT modernization; and (4) coordinated sanctions responses to any nation that materially coerces allied financial institutions into SWIFT-alternative participation.
SEC. 3207. DIGITAL DOLLAR SOVEREIGNTY.
(a) DIGITAL DOLLAR SOVEREIGN INSTRUMENT AUTHORIZATION.—The Federal Reserve Board of Governors, in coordination with the Secretary of the Treasury, is authorized and directed to develop and deploy a Digital Dollar Sovereign Instrument (DDSI) — a U.S. central bank digital currency — designed to: (1) preserve and extend the dollar's reserve currency status in the digital payment layer of the global economy; (2) operate as a complement to, not a replacement of, the commercial banking system; (3) maintain individual financial privacy consistent with the Fourth Amendment and applicable federal privacy law; and (4) be denominated in United States dollars and fully backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.
(b) DESIGN REQUIREMENTS.—The DDSI shall be designed with the following mandatory architectural constraints:
(1) COMMERCIAL BANK PRESERVATION.—The DDSI shall not accept retail deposits directly from individuals or businesses. All DDSI distribution shall occur through licensed commercial banks and credit unions, preserving the intermediary role of the commercial banking system.
(2) PRIVACY ARCHITECTURE.—Individual DDSI transactions below fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) shall not be subject to individual-level government surveillance. Aggregate transaction monitoring for systemic risk and anti-money laundering purposes is permitted, but shall not constitute a record of individual transactional behavior subject to disclosure to any federal agency without a valid warrant.
(3) OFFLINE CAPABILITY.—The DDSI shall be capable of offline peer-to-peer transaction settlement to ensure functionality in infrastructure-degraded or rural environments, consistent with the rural access objectives of this Act.
(4) INTEROPERABILITY.—The DDSI shall be designed for interoperability with the payment systems of ASC signatory nations, creating a USD-denominated digital settlement layer that allied nations can adopt as a preferred digital reserve instrument in lieu of SWIFT-alternative systems.
(c) INTERNATIONAL RESERVE DDSI.—In parallel with the domestic DDSI, the Federal Reserve, in coordination with the Secretary of State, shall develop an International Reserve DDSI variant — a wholesale CBDC instrument available to allied central banks and sovereign wealth funds — enabling direct USD-denominated digital reserve holding without dependency on existing correspondent banking infrastructure. The International Reserve DDSI shall not be available to any Reserve Currency Threat Actor or entity under active OFAC sanction.
(d) PROHIBITION ON PROGRAMMABLE RESTRICTIONS.—The DDSI shall not be designed with programmable restrictions on the categories of goods, services, or recipients for which it may be used by individual holders, except as required by existing federal law applicable to all payment instruments. Congress explicitly finds that programmable spending restrictions on a sovereign currency instrument are incompatible with the constitutional rights of U.S. persons and inconsistent with the dollar's role as a free-market reserve currency.
(e) TIMELINE.—The Federal Reserve Board of Governors shall publish a DDSI Development Roadmap within one hundred eighty (180) days of enactment, with a target operational date for the domestic DDSI of no later than four (4) years after enactment and the International Reserve DDSI no later than six (6) years after enactment.
(f) CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT.—The Federal Reserve shall submit quarterly progress reports to the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs and the House Committee on Financial Services on DDSI development progress, security architecture, and international adoption metrics.
(c) DIGITAL MONETARY SOVEREIGNTY FUNCTION.—
(1) STRATEGIC DIGITAL RESERVE AUTHORITY.—The SIRF is authorized to maintain a Strategic Digital Reserve consisting of:
(A) monetary gold held in domestic Federal Reserve vaults;
(B) foreign-currency reserves in G7 currencies;
(C) a limited allocation of dollar-denominated digital settlement assets not to exceed five percent (5%) of total SIRF reserve assets, for the purpose of monitoring and hedging systemic digital-finance transitions.
(2) NATIONAL DOLLAR SETTLEMENT NETWORK.—There is hereby established the National Dollar Settlement Network (NDSN), administered by the FMIA in coordination with the Federal Reserve. The NDSN shall:
(A) develop and deploy dollar-backed digital payment settlement rails for domestic and international commerce;
(B) establish public interoperability standards ensuring that private digital payment systems operating in the United States maintain dollar-denominated settlement capability;
(C) provide real-time gross settlement infrastructure for federal, state, and municipal government transactions;
(D) partner with allied nations to extend dollar-denominated digital settlement to international trade corridors.
(3) PURPOSE — RESERVE CURRENCY DEFENSE.—The NDSN is established for the specific purpose of preserving United States monetary sovereignty and reserve-currency competitiveness in a digital finance environment. The goal is not speculative digital asset investment; it is ensuring that the next generation of payment, settlement, and financial infrastructure remains dollar-centered. The strategic priority sequence is: (A) dollar settlement infrastructure; (B) sovereign compute infrastructure supporting dollar finance; (C) strategic digital custody and clearing; (D) limited digital reserve allocation.
(4) FUNDING.—The NDSN shall be capitalized from the Sovereign Compute Node established in Section 3408, reflecting the co-location of compute and digital settlement infrastructure.
(5) PROHIBITION ON SPECULATION.—Nothing in this section authorizes speculative investment in digital assets for financial return. The Strategic Digital Reserve and NDSN operate exclusively for monetary sovereignty purposes. Any SIRF capital allocated to digital assets under paragraph (1)(C) shall be held in custody and not deployed in yield-seeking strategies.
SEC. 3208. RESERVE CURRENCY THREAT ACTOR RESPONSE PROTOCOL.
(a) ANNUAL THREAT ASSESSMENT.—The Secretary of the Treasury, in coordination with the Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of State, shall publish an unclassified Annual Dollar Sovereignty Threat Assessment identifying: (1) nations, institutions, and networks that have taken material actions to undermine dollar reserve currency status in the preceding twelve (12) months; (2) the estimated quantified impact on dollar demand of each identified action; (3) recommended policy responses within the authorities of this Title; and (4) any legislative changes recommended to strengthen reserve currency defense architecture.
(b) GRADUATED RESPONSE FRAMEWORK.—Upon identification of a Reserve Currency Threat Actor in the Annual Threat Assessment, the following graduated response framework shall apply:
(1) TIER 1 — DIPLOMATIC ENGAGEMENT.—The Secretary of State shall initiate formal bilateral consultations within sixty (60) days of designation, presenting the factual basis for the designation and offering ASC participation as an alternative pathway.
(2) TIER 2 — ECONOMIC MEASURES.—If Tier 1 engagement fails to produce measurable compliance within one hundred eighty (180) days, the Secretary of the Treasury may impose: (A) enhanced due diligence requirements on all USD transactions involving entities from the designated nation; (B) exclusion from the Foreign Reserve Demand Program under Section 3204(d); and (C) suspension of DDSI International Reserve access.
(3) TIER 3 — COORDINATED SANCTIONS.—If Tier 2 measures fail to produce measurable compliance within three hundred sixty-five (365) days, the President, in consultation with G7 allies, may impose coordinated financial sanctions under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), targeted at the specific institutions and actors responsible for USD displacement activities.
(c) CONGRESSIONAL NOTIFICATION.—Any Tier 2 or Tier 3 response under subsection (b) shall require prior notification to the congressional intelligence and foreign relations committees not less than fifteen (15) days before implementation, with a classified annex available to cleared members.
SEC. 3209. BUDGET IMPACT AND REVENUE CERTIFICATION.
(a) SELF-FUNDING MECHANISM.—This Title is designed to be budget-neutral in direct appropriations. The ASC Incentive Fund and Petrodollar Modernization Fund shall be capitalized exclusively from SIRF revenues generated under Title II of this Act. All DDSI development costs shall be borne by the Federal Reserve from existing operational revenues.
(b) ECONOMIC RETURN CERTIFICATION.—Within one (1) year of enactment, the Congressional Budget Office shall publish a Dollar Reserve Currency Economic Impact Assessment estimating: (1) the annual economic benefit to the United States of maintaining reserve currency status, including reduced Treasury borrowing costs, seigniorage revenue, and financial services sector premium; (2) the estimated cost to the U.S. economy of a twenty-five percent (25%) reduction in dollar reserve share over ten years; and (3) the projected economic return on the investments authorized by this Title.
SEC. 3210. SCHEDULE D BENCHMARKS — TITLE XXXII.
The FMIA shall report biennially on: (1) number of nations that have executed ASC agreements and estimated annual dollar trade volume generated; (2) Treasury Credibility Index score and trend; (3) number of SWIFT-alternative routing violations detected and penalized; (4) DDSI development milestone completion rate; (5) U.S. dollar share of global foreign exchange reserves as reported by the IMF COFER database, with trend analysis; (6) net change in international demand for USD-denominated Treasury instruments.

Title XXXIII, Sovereign Compute Authority
›
Charters the Sovereign Compute Authority (SCA), a federal enterprise corporation modeled on the DFC, to own and operate public-interest AI and digital infrastructure. The SCA holds title to nationally owned data centers, municipal computing arrays, quantum-secured facilities, and public inference infrastructure. It is capitalized by the SIRF Sovereign Compute Node and authorized to issue revenue bonds against its lease income. It provides below-cost access (≤20% of market rates) to researchers, small businesses, and Vanguard Entities, cross-subsidized by commercial-rate users. The SCA must achieve full financial self-sufficiency within 7 years, at which point the SIRF allocation phases down to zero. The Digital Dollar Settlement Network runs on SCA hardware. NIST sets the standards. DOE national labs co-invest. The strategic objective: convert a public expenditure into a sovereign capital asset that generates lease revenue in perpetuity. The Data Commons Tariff is seed capital, the SCA asset base is the endpoint.
TITLE XXXIII — SOVEREIGN COMPUTE AUTHORITY ACT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 3301. FINDINGS — TITLE XXXIII.
Congress finds that:
(1) Artificial intelligence systems, digital payment infrastructure, and advanced semiconductor applications are the primary determinants of 21st-century economic and national security sovereignty;
(2) The concentration of compute infrastructure in a small number of private commercial entities creates systemic national security vulnerabilities, including the risk of foreign acquisition, monopolistic access pricing that excludes domestic innovators, and single-point-of-failure exposure for critical federal systems;
(3) The Sovereign Compute Node established in Section 3408 of this Act provides dedicated funding for public-interest compute infrastructure, but a SIRF funding node alone does not constitute an institution capable of holding title to long-duration productive assets, issuing revenue bonds, entering commercial lease agreements, or operating on a self-sustaining cost-recovery basis;
(4) Existing federal agencies with relevant jurisdiction — including the Department of Commerce, the Department of Energy, and the Federal Market Integrity Administration — have been evaluated as primary institutional homes for the sovereign compute mission; the FMIA's enforcement role creates an inherent conflict of interest if it simultaneously holds title to revenue-generating infrastructure assets it is charged with regulating; the Department of Commerce lacks a balance-sheet enterprise structure for long-duration asset ownership; and the Department of Energy's national laboratory compute assets, while complementary, operate under classification and procurement constraints incompatible with the public-access and commercial-lease mandates of this Title;
(5) The United States International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) provides the closest structural precedent — a federal enterprise corporation with an independent balance sheet, co-investment mandate, and cost-recovery trajectory — but DFC's statutory jurisdiction is limited to foreign development finance; a domestic equivalent is required;
(6) The most efficient institutional structure is therefore a new federal enterprise corporation — the Sovereign Compute Authority — that consolidates the asset-ownership, commercial-lease, and revenue-bond functions of the Sovereign Compute Node into a single legal entity with an independent balance sheet, while delegating regulatory oversight, data standards, and Open-Source Compute Pool administration to the FMIA under an interagency agreement.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 3302. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE SOVEREIGN COMPUTE AUTHORITY.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—There is established a wholly owned Government corporation, to be known as the Sovereign Compute Authority (SCA), subject to chapter 91 of title 31, United States Code (the Government Corporation Control Act).
(b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of the SCA are to:
(1) hold title to and operate the public-interest compute infrastructure funded by the Sovereign Compute Node established in Section 3408;
(2) issue revenue bonds secured by SCN infrastructure lease revenue, thereby leveraging SIRF capital into a larger productive asset base without additional SIRF outlay;
(3) provide below-cost compute access to domestic academic institutions, small businesses, and Vanguard Entities, cross-subsidized by commercial-rate access for private sector users;
(4) serve as the physical infrastructure host for the Digital Dollar Settlement Network established under Section 3207;
(5) achieve operational self-sufficiency within seven (7) years of initial deployment, consistent with Section 3408(d), thereby reducing and ultimately eliminating reliance on the standing SIRF allocation;
(6) operate as a domestic sovereign compute asset system whose long-run strategic objective is the accumulation of federally owned productive infrastructure — not the permanent collection of tariff revenue or SIRF transfers — converting a public expenditure into a sovereign capital asset that generates lease and service revenue in perpetuity;
(7) accept, where appropriate and consistent with the priority ladder established in Section 3305(c), equity interests, royalty agreements, and revenue-sharing arrangements from entities accessing SCA infrastructure, subject to the following limitations:
(A) aggregate equity holdings across all SCA portfolio positions shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of SCA's audited net asset value in any fiscal year;
(B) no single equity position shall represent more than five percent (5%) of SCA's audited net asset value;
(C) all equity and revenue-sharing agreements shall require Board approval by a two-thirds supermajority vote and shall be disclosed in the SCA's annual report to Congress;
(D) equity positions shall be managed as a sovereign development portfolio — not as speculative investments — with the purpose of aligning SCA's financial returns with the commercial success of domestic AI and compute enterprises it enables; and
(E) the FMIA shall conduct annual conflict-of-interest audits of all SCA equity positions to ensure that no holding creates a regulatory conflict with FMIA's oversight role.
(c) LEGAL STATUS.—The SCA is a body corporate and instrumentality of the United States. It may sue and be sued in its corporate name. The SCA shall comply with the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. §§ 551 et seq.) with respect to all regulatory, enforcement, public-access, and rulemaking functions. With respect to the SCA's commercial contracting, lease negotiation, and competitive procurement functions — conducted in the same capacity as a private enterprise in a commercial marketplace — such functions shall be governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation and applicable Government Corporation Control Act provisions, which shall constitute the applicable procedural framework in lieu of APA notice-and-comment rulemaking for those specific commercial transactions. Any final SCA decision denying an entity access to SCA infrastructure under the Tier priority ladder of Section 3305(c) shall constitute final agency action subject to judicial review under 5 U.S.C. § 704.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 3303. GOVERNANCE.
(a) BOARD OF DIRECTORS.—The SCA shall be governed by a Board of Directors consisting of:
(1) the Secretary of the Treasury, or a designee at the Deputy Secretary level or above, who shall serve as Chairperson;
(2) the Secretary of Commerce, or a designee at the Deputy Secretary level or above;
(3) the Secretary of Defense, or a designee at the Under Secretary level or above, representing national security compute requirements;
(4) the Administrator for Economic Data Integrity (head of the FMIA), serving ex officio as the regulatory coordination liaison;
(5) the Director of the National Science Foundation, or a designee, representing the academic and research compute community;
(6) three (3) independent directors appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate, serving staggered four (4) year terms, of whom:
(A) one shall have demonstrated expertise in enterprise infrastructure finance or sovereign wealth fund management;
(B) one shall have demonstrated expertise in semiconductor manufacturing, cloud computing, or advanced hardware systems; and
(C) one shall represent the public interest, with demonstrated background in civil society, consumer protection, or public-interest technology policy.
(b) CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER.—The Board shall appoint a Chief Executive Officer of the SCA, who shall serve at the pleasure of the Board and shall be the chief operating officer of the corporation. The CEO shall be compensated at a rate not to exceed Executive Schedule Level II, adjusted for private-sector comparability by the Board consistent with Government Corporation Control Act authorities.
(c) REMOVAL COMPLIANCE.—Independent directors shall be removable by the President for cause, consistent with Humphrey's Executor v. United States, 295 U.S. 602 (1935), as limited by Seila Law LLC v. CFPB, 591 U.S. 197 (2020). No statutory removal protection shall limit the President's authority over the Chairperson or the ex officio members serving in their principal agency capacity.
(d) QUORUM AND VOTING.—Five members constitute a quorum. Decisions require a majority of members present. The Chairperson shall cast the deciding vote in the event of a tie.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 3304. FINANCIAL ARCHITECTURE.
(a) INITIAL CAPITALIZATION.—The SCA shall receive, as its initial capital contribution, not less than the first three (3) years of Sovereign Compute Node distributions from the SIRF as established in Section 3408, to be held as the SCA Infrastructure Capital Reserve.
(b) REVENUE BOND AUTHORITY.—The SCA is authorized to issue revenue bonds secured by SCA infrastructure lease revenue, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed three times (3x) the SCA's audited net asset value at the time of issuance. Such bonds:
(1) shall not constitute obligations of the United States and shall not be backed by the full faith and credit of the United States;
(2) shall be issued with maturities not to exceed thirty (30) years;
(3) shall require SCA Board approval by a two-thirds supermajority vote;
(4) shall be disclosed annually to Congress in the SCA's audited financial statements.
(c) COMMERCIAL LEASE REVENUE.—The SCA shall charge market-rate fees to private commercial users accessing SCA infrastructure. Not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of net commercial lease revenue shall be reinvested in SCA infrastructure expansion or debt service. The remaining twenty-five percent (25%) shall be returned to the SIRF Sovereign Compute Node as a revenue offset, reducing the required SIRF allocation consistent with Section 3408(d).
(d) BELOW-COST ACCESS PROGRAM.—The SCA shall maintain a Public Access Compute Program providing access to not less than twenty percent (20%) of SCA infrastructure capacity to domestic academic institutions, small businesses with annual revenues below fifty million dollars ($50,000,000), and Vanguard Entities at rates not exceeding twenty percent (20%) of SCA commercial market rates. The cost differential of below-market access shall be funded by the SCN allocation and treated as a public-benefit expenditure in the SCA's annual report.
(e) SELF-SUFFICIENCY TRAJECTORY.—
(1) The SCA shall publish annually a Self-Sufficiency Trajectory Report projecting the year in which commercial lease revenue will be sufficient to cover all SCA operating costs, debt service, and the Public Access Compute Program without any further SCN allocation from the SIRF.
(2) Upon the FMIA's certification that the SCA has achieved operational self-sufficiency, the standing five percent (5%) SIRF allocation to the Sovereign Compute Node shall be reduced by one percent (1%) annually until the allocation reaches zero, at which point all SCN lease revenues shall be returned to the SIRF general node pool for reallocation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 3305. AUTHORIZED INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS.
(a) ASSET CLASSES.—The SCA is authorized to invest in, construct, acquire, own, and operate:

(1) acquire equity stakes in foreign entities without express Congressional authorization by joint resolution;
(2) invest in cryptocurrencies, digital asset speculation, or non-fungible tokens;
(3) provide compute access to any entity subject to an active FMIA enforcement action or capital-flight lock under Section 1804;
(4) CONSUMER AI AND B2C MARKET EXCLUSION.—develop, market, train, or operate consumer artificial intelligence products, services, or models, and shall not enter any business-to-consumer (B2C) service market in which domestic private commercial providers are operating, except as strictly necessary for governmental operations, scientific research, educational access, or national security purposes authorized by the Board and disclosed to Congress. The SCA is a sovereign infrastructure provider, not a commercial AI developer or consumer services competitor. No future Board resolution, executive directive, or appropriations rider shall authorize SCA to compete with domestic commercial AI firms or any domestic B2C service provider in consumer-facing markets without express statutory authorization by Congress enacted after the procedures of subsection (d-1) have been satisfied.
(d-1) CONGRESSIONAL DISAPPROVAL WINDOW FOR NEW SCA SERVICE CATEGORIES.—
(A) ADVANCE NOTICE REQUIREMENT.—Before the SCA Board may authorize the SCA to enter any new service category not explicitly authorized by this Title, the SCA Board shall transmit to the relevant committees of jurisdiction in both chambers of Congress a detailed written notice describing: (i) the proposed new service category; (ii) the Board's findings that no domestic private provider is adequately serving the relevant market; (iii) the projected cost and revenue impact; and (iv) the constitutional and statutory basis for Board authority.
(B) DISAPPROVAL WINDOW.—Congress shall have ninety (90) calendar days following receipt of the Board's written notice to enact a joint resolution of disapproval blocking the proposed new service category. If Congress enacts such a resolution and it is signed into law, or if the President's veto of such resolution is overridden, the SCA Board shall not enter the proposed service category.
(C) NO AUTOMATIC AUTHORIZATION.—The failure of Congress to enact a joint resolution of disapproval within the ninety (90) day window shall not be construed as Congressional authorization of the proposed service category; it shall only remove the mandatory pre-authorization review constraint. The SCA Board shall retain full fiduciary responsibility for ensuring any new service category is consistent with the SCA's statutory mission.
(c) STATUTORY ACCESS PRIORITY LADDER.—SCA infrastructure capacity shall be allocated among users according to the following priority order, with higher-priority categories served before lower-priority categories in any period of capacity constraint:
(1) TIER 1 — FEDERAL AGENCIES.—Federal civilian agencies and the Armed Forces requiring compute access for governmental operations, national security, or emergency response;
(2) TIER 2 — NATIONAL LABORATORIES.—Department of Energy national laboratories, DARPA, and other federally chartered research institutions;

(7) TIER 7 — FOREIGN ALLIED USERS.—Entities organized under the laws of Allied Settlement Compact signatory nations, permitted access only upon Board approval and only when Tiers 1 through 6 are not capacity-constrained; at rates not less than one hundred twenty percent (120%) of SCA domestic commercial market rates, with all premium revenue returned to the SIRF.
In no period of capacity constraint shall any Tier 7 allocation reduce available capacity for Tiers 1 through 5.
(d) INTERAGENCY COMPUTE AGREEMENTS.—The SCA shall enter into memoranda of understanding with the Department of Energy national laboratories, the National Science Foundation, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to integrate SCA infrastructure with existing federal compute resources, eliminating duplication and maximizing national compute capacity utilization.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 3306. RELATIONSHIP TO EXISTING AGENCIES.
(a) FMIA REGULATORY AUTHORITY PRESERVED.—Nothing in this Title shall be construed to limit the FMIA's authority to regulate, audit, or enforce compliance by the SCA as a Covered Entity with respect to data sovereignty, algorithmic transparency, and structural variance standards. The FMIA shall conduct annual sovereignty audits of SCA infrastructure consistent with Section 304.
(b) OPEN-SOURCE COMPUTE POOL DELEGATION.—The Open-Source Compute Pool established in Section 303(c) shall be administered by the FMIA using SCA infrastructure under a standing interagency service agreement.

(b) PHASE 2 — GATE 1 CONDITIONS.—HSRN shall advance to Phase 2 — targeted deployment at three hundred dollars ($300) per month base rate to households at or below one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the federal poverty guideline — when all three of the following conditions are simultaneously certified by the CBO in a formal cost estimate published in the Federal Register:
(1) DEFICIT CONDITION.—The projected annual federal deficit for the current fiscal year is below nine hundred billion dollars ($900,000,000,000) based on CBO's most recent baseline projection;
(2) TREND CONDITION.—CBO's ten-year baseline projection shows a declining deficit trajectory, with the projected deficit in Year 10 of the baseline lower than the current fiscal year's projected deficit; and
(3) SIRF CONDITION.—The SIRF balance, as certified by the FMIA, exceeds two hundred billion dollars ($200,000,000,000).
(c) PHASE 3 — GATE 2 CONDITIONS.—HSRN shall advance to Phase 3 — universal deployment at full statutory rates to all eligible households — when both of the following conditions are simultaneously certified by the CBO:
(1) DEBT-TO-GDP CONDITION.—The federal debt held by the public as a percentage of GDP is below one hundred ten percent (110%); and
(2) DEFICIT CONDITION.—The projected annual federal deficit for the current fiscal year is below four hundred billion dollars ($400,000,000,000).
(d) AUTOMATIC TRIGGER.—Phase Gate conditions are self-executing. When CBO certifies that all conditions for a given Phase Gate are met in a single published cost estimate or budget outlook, the corresponding HSRN expansion shall activate within sixty (60) days without requiring additional legislative action.
(e) DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENT.—If, after a Phase Gate has been met, fiscal conditions deteriorate such that the deficit rises above the applicable ceiling for two (2) consecutive fiscal years, HSRN disbursements shall be adjusted downward on a pro-rata basis per Section 005(b)(1), not eliminated entirely. The Phase Gate shall be re-met before returning to full Phase disbursement.
(f) REVENUE SUPPRESSION COUNTERFACTUAL ADJUSTMENT.—(1) DETECTION MANDATE.—The FMIA shall maintain a Revenue Suppression Detection Module (RSDM) that identifies coordinated domestic revenue contraction by Covered Entities exceeding fifteen percent (15%) of the prior 36-month rolling baseline, correlated across two or more entities in the same sector, within twelve (12) months of enactment or any FMIA enforcement action. (2) CBO COUNTERFACTUAL DEFICIT.—Upon FMIA certification of a Revenue Suppression Event, the CBO shall compute and publish a Revenue-Adjusted Counterfactual Deficit (RACD) that adds back estimated revenue suppressed by the verified evasion activity. (3) ALTERNATIVE GATE CERTIFICATION.—The Phase Gate 2 Deficit Condition is satisfied if either: (A) the actual projected deficit falls below $900,000,000,000; OR (B) the RACD falls below $900,000,000,000 and the FMIA has certified a Revenue Suppression Event affecting the standard calculation. (4) SOVEREIGN EVASION ASSESSMENT.—Any Covered Entity engaging in coordinated revenue suppression to prevent Gate 1 certification shall be subject to a Sovereign Evasion Assessment equal to three times (3x) the estimated suppression value, deposited into the SIRF.
(g) MINIMUM FLOOR HSRN.—Effective upon enactment, without Phase Gate certification, the FMIA shall disburse from SIRF investment returns a Minimum Floor HSRN of one hundred dollars ($100) per month to every eligible household at or below one hundred percent (100%) of the federal poverty guideline. Funded exclusively from SIRF investment returns, not SIRF principal; pro-rated if returns are insufficient. Upon Phase Gate 2 certification, the Floor HSRN is subsumed into the full Phase 2 disbursement.

Title XXVII, Press Freedom & Editorial Independence
›
Structural protections for a free press as sovereignty infrastructure: journalist anti-retaliation with rebuttable presumption, a federal shield law, federal anti-SLAPP for press defendants, an FCC editorial-independence firewall, a Federal Press Freedom Monitor in the FMIA, equal press-access guarantees, and a whistleblower bounty.
TITLE XXVII — PRESS FREEDOM AND EDITORIAL INDEPENDENCE PROTECTION ACT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 2701. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that:
(1) A free, independent, and adversarial press is not a privilege granted by government but a structural sovereignty mechanism by which citizens exercise informed democratic self-governance. The First Amendment's press clause reflects a constitutional recognition that concentrated power — governmental, corporate, or ideological — is hostile to the public interest unless subject to independent scrutiny.
(2) The systematic erosion of editorial independence through corporate consolidation, politically motivated executive appointments at major news organizations, government advertising leverage, regulatory threats, and retaliatory litigation constitutes a cognizable structural threat to the sovereignty of informed democratic deliberation.
(3) The firing of journalists, editors, and producers in retaliation for editorial independence, adversarial reporting, or refusal to align editorial content with the political or commercial interests of media ownership represents a form of institutional press suppression not adequately addressed by existing statutory protections.
(4) The deployment of Federal Communications Commission license review proceedings, broadcast spectrum allocation decisions, or spectrum fee structures as instruments of editorial coercion against news organizations constitutes a violation of the First Amendment's core prohibition against government-compelled speech and viewpoint discrimination.
(5) The United States lacks a comprehensive federal shield law protecting journalist-source confidentiality, creating a structural asymmetry between the government's investigative power and the press's capacity to report on government misconduct.
(b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this Title is to establish structural protections for press freedom as a sovereignty infrastructure function, including: anti-retaliatory protections for journalists; a federal journalist shield law; anti-SLAPP protections for press defendants; FCC editorial independence firewalls; and a Federal Press Freedom Monitor within the FMIA to track and report on press freedom violations.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 2702. DEFINITIONS.
For purposes of this Title:
(1) JOURNALIST.—The term "journalist" means any person who regularly gathers, prepares, collects, photographs, records, writes, edits, reports, or publishes news or information of public concern for dissemination to the public, whether in print, broadcast, digital, podcast, documentary, or any other medium, regardless of whether such activity is compensated or conducted through a formal news organization.
(2) NEWS ORGANIZATION.—The term "news organization" means any entity with annual revenue exceeding $10,000,000 that derives not less than thirty percent (30%) of its revenue from the gathering, production, or distribution of news or information of public concern, including broadcast networks, cable news channels, national newspapers, digital news platforms, and streaming news services.
(3) EDITORIAL CONTENT DECISION.—The term "editorial content decision" means any decision affecting the publication, suppression, modification, framing, or cancellation of news content, investigative reporting, or editorial opinion, including hiring, firing, or reassignment of journalists, editors, producers, or on-air talent when such decision is made in connection with specific news coverage or editorial direction.
(4) RETALIATORY TERMINATION.—The term "retaliatory termination" means the termination, demotion, suspension, or material reduction in duties of a journalist that occurs within 365 days of: (A) the journalist's publication or attempted publication of reporting on a matter of substantial public concern; (B) the journalist's internal refusal to alter, suppress, or kill such reporting at the direction of management; or (C) the journalist's public statements regarding the editorial independence of their news organization.
(5) COVERED GOVERNMENT PRESSURE.—The term "covered government pressure" means any communication, act, or omission by a federal official or agency intended to influence, deter, suppress, or retaliate against editorial content decisions at a news organization, including: regulatory threats, advertising withdrawal, access revocation, license proceedings, litigation, public statements targeting specific coverage, and selective enforcement of laws against reporters.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 2703. JOURNALIST ANTI-RETALIATION PROTECTION.
(a) PROHIBITED CONDUCT.—No news organization shall terminate, demote, suspend, reassign, or otherwise materially disadvantage a journalist in retaliation for:
(1) The journalist's reporting on any matter of substantial public concern, including reporting critical of the news organization's ownership, advertisers, or corporate affiliates;
(2) The journalist's internal refusal to alter, suppress, spike, or editorially compromise a news story at the direction of management where such direction is motivated by commercial, political, or personal interest rather than legitimate editorial judgment;
(3) The journalist's disclosure, to a congressional committee, federal agency, or the Federal Press Freedom Monitor established under Section 2707, of facts relating to editorial interference by management, ownership, advertisers, or government officials; or
(4) The journalist's public statements regarding threats to the editorial independence of their news organization, provided such statements do not disclose confidential trade secrets unrelated to editorial interference.
(b) PRESUMPTION OF RETALIATION.—A termination or material adverse employment action taken against a journalist within 365 days of conduct described in subsection (a) shall create a rebuttable presumption that the action was retaliatory. The news organization shall bear the burden of demonstrating by clear and convincing evidence that the adverse action was based solely on legitimate, documented, non-retaliatory grounds.
(c) CIVIL ENFORCEMENT.—A journalist subjected to retaliatory termination in violation of this Section may bring a civil action in federal district court for:
(1) Reinstatement with full back pay and benefits;
(2) Compensatory damages, including reputational harm and future lost earnings;
(3) Punitive damages not to exceed five times compensatory damages where retaliation is proven by clear and convincing evidence; and
(4) Attorneys' fees and costs.
(d) ADMINISTRATIVE ENFORCEMENT.—The Federal Press Freedom Monitor shall receive complaints from journalists and may refer substantiated complaints to the Department of Labor for enforcement action under the standards of this Section.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 2704. FEDERAL JOURNALIST SHIELD LAW.
(a) PRIVILEGE ESTABLISHED.—A journalist shall not be compelled by any federal court, federal grand jury, federal agency, or any arm of the federal government to:
(1) Identify or disclose the identity of a confidential source of information used in or related to the journalist's reporting on a matter of substantial public concern;
(2) Disclose unpublished notes, recordings, drafts, photographs, or communications that would tend to identify a confidential source; or
(3) Provide testimony, documents, or other evidence that would reveal the journalist's newsgathering process in a manner that would expose confidential sources or chill future source relationships.
(b) SCOPE.—The privilege established by this Section applies to all journalists as defined in Section 2702, regardless of media type, employment status, or organizational affiliation.
(c) EXCEPTIONS.—The privilege under this Section may be overcome only upon a showing by clear and convincing evidence that:
(1) The information sought is directly relevant to the prevention of an imminent act of terrorism, mass violence, or imminent threat to national security that cannot be obtained through any other means;
(2) The journalist was a direct, knowing participant in the criminal activity about which testimony is sought, not merely a reporter of such activity; or
(3) In a civil proceeding, the information is essential to the prevention of a clear, immediate, and irreparable harm to an identified individual that cannot be obtained through any alternative means, and the public interest in disclosure substantially outweighs the public interest in press freedom.
(d) JUDICIAL REVIEW.—Any government attempt to overcome the privilege under this Section shall be subject to de novo review by a federal district court in camera prior to enforcement, with the journalist afforded right to counsel and opportunity to be heard.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 2705. FEDERAL ANTI-SLAPP PROTECTION FOR PRESS DEFENDANTS.
(a) ANTI-SLAPP MOTION.—In any civil action filed in federal court in which a claim arises from a journalist's act of reporting, publishing, broadcasting, or communicating information on a matter of public concern, the journalist or news organization may file a special motion to dismiss within 60 days of service of the complaint.
(b) STANDARD.—Upon filing of a motion under subsection (a), the burden shifts to the plaintiff to demonstrate, by clear and convincing evidence, a probability of prevailing on the claim. Absent such showing, the court shall dismiss the action with prejudice.
(c) STAY OF DISCOVERY.—All discovery shall be stayed upon filing of a motion under this Section until the court rules on the motion, except for discovery necessary to oppose the motion.
(d) MANDATORY FEE AWARD.—If the court grants a motion under this Section, the court shall award the journalist or news organization their reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, and an additional sanction against the plaintiff in an amount sufficient to deter future SLAPP litigation, not less than $50,000.
(e) COVERED PLAINTIFFS.—This Section applies to any plaintiff, including government entities, government officials, corporations, and private individuals, who file claims arising from protected press activity.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 2706. FCC EDITORIAL INDEPENDENCE FIREWALL.
(a) PROHIBITED FCC ACTIONS.—The Federal Communications Commission shall not:
(1) Initiate, accelerate, or threaten any license review, license revocation proceeding, spectrum reallocation, or regulatory investigation against a broadcast licensee based in whole or in part on the editorial content decisions of such licensee;
(2) Condition the grant, renewal, or transfer of any broadcast license on the editorial practices, content policies, or personnel decisions of the applicant; or
(3) Use any FCC regulatory authority as an instrument to compel, deter, or retaliate against any specific editorial content decision by a news organization.
(b) ENFORCEMENT.—Any FCC action in violation of this Section shall be void ab initio and subject to immediate injunctive relief in federal district court. Any FCC Commissioner who votes in favor of an action found to violate this Section shall be personally subject to civil penalties of not less than $100,000 per violation, enforceable by the Department of Justice.
(c) INDEPENDENT INSPECTOR GENERAL REVIEW.—The FCC Inspector General shall have independent authority to review any license proceeding or regulatory action affecting a news organization and shall publish a public report within 90 days of any such proceeding detailing whether editorial content considerations were a factor in the proceeding.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 2707. FEDERAL PRESS FREEDOM MONITOR.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—There is established within the Federal Market Integrity Administration a Federal Press Freedom Monitor (PFPM) as an independent division charged with tracking, reporting on, and referring for enforcement all acts of covered government pressure, retaliatory termination, and FCC editorial interference affecting the press.
(b) ANNUAL REPORT.—The PFPM shall publish an annual Press Freedom Sovereignty Report to Congress, documenting:
(1) All documented instances of covered government pressure against news organizations in the preceding year;
(2) All retaliatory terminations reported to the PFPM, including outcomes of any enforcement proceedings;
(3) An index measuring the structural independence of the ten largest news organizations in the United States, scored on criteria including ownership concentration, government advertising dependency, regulatory exposure, and editorial personnel turnover rates; and
(4) Legislative or regulatory recommendations to strengthen press freedom protections.
(c) WHISTLEBLOWER BOUNTY.—Any journalist or news organization employee who provides documented evidence to the PFPM of covered government pressure or retaliatory editorial interference that results in a civil enforcement judgment shall be entitled to fifteen percent (15%) of any civil penalty collected, consistent with the citizen bounty framework of Section 401 of this Act.
(d) FUNDING.—The PFPM shall be funded from the SIRF Accountability Node at not less than $25,000,000 annually, indexed to the Sovereign Productivity Index.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 2708. GOVERNMENT PRESS ACCESS GUARANTEE.
(a) EQUAL ACCESS MANDATE.—Any federal agency, department, or official that holds a press briefing, press conference, or media availability event shall not exclude any credentialed journalist or news organization from such event on the basis of the editorial content, viewpoint, or past reporting of such journalist or news organization.
(b) CREDENTIALING STANDARDS.—Federal press credential standards shall be objective, content-neutral, and publicly posted. Denial of press credentials shall be subject to administrative appeal and de novo judicial review within 30 days.
(c) ENFORCEMENT.—Violation of this Section shall constitute grounds for an immediate injunction in federal district court and personal civil liability for the federal official responsible for the exclusion, in an amount not less than $25,000 per incident.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 2709. SCHEDULE D BENCHMARKS — TITLE XXVII.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Passed by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled.
END OF THE NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY AND RESILIENCE ACT OF 2028
Title XXVIII, Worker Organizing Rights & Anti-Union-Busting
›
Makes worker organizing a real, enforceable right: 7-day mandatory interim reinstatement for unlawfully fired organizers, treble back pay, personal liability for officers who direct union-busting, a captive-audience meeting ban, and automatic card-check recognition when employer misconduct taints a campaign.
TITLE XXVIII — WORKER ORGANIZING RIGHTS AND ANTI-UNION-BUSTING ENFORCEMENT ACT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 2801. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that:
(1) The right of workers to organize, bargain collectively, and engage in concerted activity is a foundational sovereignty right of the American working class, recognized in the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 and reaffirmed in subsequent legislation.
(2) Decades of systematic corporate investment in union-busting consulting, captive-audience meetings, illegal termination of organizing workers, and deliberate delay of collective bargaining have structurally suppressed worker organizing power and driven the union membership rate from 35 percent in 1955 to approximately 10 percent in 2024.
(3) The documented correlation between declining union density and the erosion of the middle class, wage stagnation, and the concentration of wealth in the top one percent establishes union suppression as a macroeconomic sovereignty threat, not merely an individual labor dispute.
(4) Current remedies under the National Labor Relations Act are structurally inadequate — back pay minus interim earnings, delayed enforcement through multi-year NLRB proceedings, and injunctive relief that arrives after organizing campaigns have been destroyed — creating a rational calculus for employers to violate the law.
(b) PURPOSE.—This Title establishes structural enforcement upgrades to make worker organizing rights a real, enforceable right, including: mandatory injunctive relief within 7 days of unlawful termination of an organizing worker; treble back pay for retaliatory discharge; personal liability for corporate officers who direct illegal union-busting; and automatic card-check recognition when employer misconduct is documented during an organizing campaign.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 2802. ENHANCED REMEDIES FOR UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICES.
(a) MANDATORY INTERIM REINSTATEMENT.—Upon a finding of probable cause that a worker was terminated, demoted, or otherwise disciplined in retaliation for protected organizing activity under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act, the NLRB shall seek, and a federal district court shall grant, an interim reinstatement order within 7 calendar days, without prejudice to the merits of the underlying unfair labor practice charge.
(b) TREBLE BACK PAY.—Any worker found by the NLRB to have been unlawfully terminated for protected organizing activity shall be entitled to three times (3x) the back pay and lost benefits that would otherwise be awarded, in addition to full reinstatement, as a mandatory remedy. The treble damages provision may not be waived, reduced, or offset by any settlement agreement.
(c) PERSONAL OFFICER LIABILITY.—Any corporate officer, director, human resources professional, or outside labor relations consultant who directs, authorizes, or knowingly participates in an unfair labor practice found to violate Section 8(a) of the National Labor Relations Act shall be personally liable for civil penalties of not less than $50,000 per violation and not more than $500,000 per violation, in addition to any corporate liability. Personal liability shall survive corporate bankruptcy, restructuring, or dissolution.
(d) CAPTIVE-AUDIENCE MEETING PROHIBITION.—It shall be an unfair labor practice for an employer to require or coerce employees to attend any meeting, the primary purpose of which is to communicate the employer's views on union organizing, collective bargaining, or union representation. Violation of this subsection shall constitute a per se unfair labor practice subject to a civil penalty of not less than $10,000 per employee coerced.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 2803. AUTOMATIC CARD-CHECK RECOGNITION.
(a) MANDATORY RECOGNITION.—When the NLRB finds that an employer has committed one or more unfair labor practices during the period in which authorization cards were being solicited, the NLRB shall issue a Bargaining Order requiring the employer to recognize and bargain with the union if authorization cards signed by a majority of the bargaining unit employees are presented, without requiring a secret-ballot election.
(b) GOOD FAITH BARGAINING DEADLINE.—Upon issuance of a Bargaining Order under this Section, the employer shall commence good faith bargaining within 30 calendar days. Failure to reach a first contract within 12 months of recognition shall trigger mandatory interest arbitration before a neutral arbitrator selected by the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, with the arbitrator's decision binding for the initial contract term.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 2804. BUDGET NEUTRALITY CERTIFICATION.
This Title generates net positive revenue through civil penalty collections estimated at not less than $2,000,000,000 annually based on documented NLRB unfair labor practice caseload, reduced enforcement litigation costs through streamlined mandatory injunctive relief, and reduced public assistance expenditures attributable to higher unionized-worker compensation. All penalty revenue is routed to the SIRF Household Endowment Node.
Title XXIX, Congressional Financial Integrity & Stock Trading Ban
›
Total prohibition on individual stock trading by Members of Congress, senior executive-branch officials, and federal judges (plus covered family), with mandatory divestiture into blind trusts or broad index funds, disgorgement, 2x penalties, criminal exposure, and a citizen private right of action.
TITLE XXIX — CONGRESSIONAL FINANCIAL INTEGRITY AND STOCK TRADING PROHIBITION ACT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 2901. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that:
(1) Members of Congress and senior federal officials routinely access material, non-public information through their official duties — including classified intelligence briefings, advance notice of regulatory actions, and pre-publication economic data — that is unavailable to ordinary investors.
(2) The systematic trading of individual stocks, sector-specific securities, and financial derivatives by Members of Congress and their immediate family members while possessing such information constitutes a structural corruption of both democratic governance and financial market integrity.
(3) The STOCK Act of 2012 has proven demonstrably inadequate, with enforcement limited to nominal disclosure penalties and no prohibition on the underlying trades.
(4) Public trust in congressional governance cannot be restored while Members of Congress are permitted to profit personally from the legislation, regulation, and appropriations decisions they control.
(b) PURPOSE.—This Title establishes a total prohibition on individual stock trading by Members of Congress, senior executive branch officials, federal judges, and their covered family members, with mandatory divestiture into blind trusts or broad-based index funds upon taking office.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 2902. PROHIBITION ON INDIVIDUAL SECURITIES TRADING.
(a) PROHIBITION.—No Member of Congress, no senior executive branch official (defined as any official confirmed by the Senate or serving in a position of Executive Schedule Level I through V), and no federal judge or justice shall, during their term of service:
(1) Purchase, sell, exchange, or otherwise transact in any individual equity security, corporate bond, commodity contract, currency contract, or financial derivative referencing any of the foregoing;
(2) Direct, influence, or advise any covered family member (spouse, domestic partner, or minor child) to engage in any transaction prohibited under paragraph (1); or
(3) Hold any financial interest in a private fund, hedge fund, or private equity fund that is not fully transparent to the Office of Government Ethics and the public.
(b) PERMITTED INVESTMENTS.—The prohibition under this Section shall not apply to:
(1) Broad-based, publicly available index funds or exchange-traded funds that track a market-wide, sector-neutral, or country-wide index;
(2) U.S. Treasury securities, savings bonds, or other obligations of the United States Government;
(3) Fixed annuities, life insurance products, or defined-benefit pension plans; or
(4) Investments held in a qualified blind trust administered by an independent trustee with no communication to the official regarding specific holdings.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 2903. MANDATORY DIVESTITURE AND ENFORCEMENT.
(a) DIVESTITURE TIMELINE.—Within 180 days of enactment and within 90 days of any covered official taking office after enactment, all prohibited holdings shall be divested or transferred to a qualified blind trust.
(b) CIVIL PENALTIES.—Any covered official who violates this Title shall be subject to:
(1) Disgorgement of all profits from any prohibited transaction;
(2) A civil penalty equal to two times (2x) the value of the prohibited transaction;
(3) Referral to the relevant ethics body for additional disciplinary proceedings; and
(4) For Members of Congress, mandatory public disclosure on the congressional record within 3 business days of a finding of violation.
(c) CRIMINAL PENALTIES.—Any covered official who willfully violates this Title, or who directs a covered family member to conduct prohibited transactions on their behalf, shall be subject to criminal prosecution under 18 U.S.C. § 1348 (securities fraud) with a maximum sentence of 20 years imprisonment.
(d) PRIVATE RIGHT OF ACTION.—Any citizen may bring a civil action in federal district court to enforce compliance with this Title, with mandatory attorneys' fees awarded upon prevailing.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 2904. BUDGET NEUTRALITY CERTIFICATION.
This Title is budget-neutral. Disgorgement and penalty collections shall be deposited into the SIRF Accountability Node. Administrative costs are offset by existing Office of Government Ethics appropriations. The long-term fiscal benefit of restored public trust in congressional governance, reduced regulatory capture, and elimination of policy distortions created by conflicted legislative decision-making constitutes a sovereign economic benefit not fully quantifiable in standard CBO scoring but fully consistent with the NSRA's fiscal integrity mandate.
Title XXX, NAFTA/USMCA Sovereignty Gap Closure & Trade Enforcement
›
Closes the structural gaps in NAFTA/USMCA: terminates legacy Chapter 11 ISDS, eliminates residual government-contract ISDS, adds an automatic tariff-based labor enforcement mechanism, a currency-manipulation countervailing duty, stronger rules of origin, pharmaceutical sovereignty over USMCA data exclusivity, Buy-American alignment, and a $10B NAFTA Legacy Worker Fund.
TITLE XXX — NAFTA/USMCA SOVEREIGNTY GAP CLOSURE AND TRADE ENFORCEMENT ACT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 3001. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that:
(1) The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), enacted in 1994, and its successor the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), enacted in 2020, contain structural gaps that have systematically undermined American worker sovereignty, domestic manufacturing capacity, agricultural competitiveness, and the government's ability to regulate in the public interest without exposure to corporate investor-state litigation.
(2) NAFTA's Chapter 11 Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) mechanism allowed multinational corporations to sue the United States government in private arbitration panels for adopting regulations that reduced their expected profits, subordinating democratic legislative authority to corporate veto power. Although USMCA eliminated ISDS for most sectors, legacy NAFTA Chapter 11 claims remain active through a 3-year sunset period, and a limited ISDS mechanism persists for government contracts in the oil, gas, power generation, telecommunications, and infrastructure sectors.
(3) USMCA's Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) for labor enforcement has proven inadequate — covering only specific facilities rather than systemic violations, imposing no meaningful financial penalty on the government of Mexico for non-compliance, and failing to address sectoral wage suppression that directly undercuts American manufacturing workers.
(4) Since NAFTA's enactment, the United States has lost an estimated 3.7 million manufacturing jobs directly attributable to trade displacement, with the auto, steel, electronics, and apparel sectors bearing disproportionate losses.
(5) USMCA's pharmaceutical data exclusivity provisions — extending biologic data protection to 10 years — directly conflict with the NSRA's pharmaceutical price sovereignty mandate under Title VIII and Schedule F, creating a treaty-level barrier to compulsory licensing and G7 price parity enforcement that must be resolved by Congress.
(6) Currency manipulation by trading partners that artificially suppresses the value of their exports relative to American-produced goods constitutes a structural trade distortion not adequately addressed by existing USMCA provisions, costing American exporters an estimated $200–400 billion annually in lost competitiveness.
(7) USMCA's government procurement chapter contains carve-outs and national treatment obligations that constrain the United States government's ability to enforce Buy American preferences for federally funded infrastructure, creating a conflict with the NSRA's infrastructure sovereignty mandate under Title VI.
(b) PURPOSE.—This Title closes the identified structural gaps in the NAFTA/USMCA trade architecture by: terminating all remaining NAFTA Chapter 11 ISDS legacy proceedings; eliminating the residual USMCA ISDS for government contracts; establishing an automatic tariff-based labor enforcement mechanism; creating a currency manipulation trigger; strengthening rules of origin; asserting domestic pharmaceutical sovereignty over conflicting USMCA data exclusivity provisions; and aligning USMCA procurement obligations with the NSRA's Buy American infrastructure mandate.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 3002. TERMINATION OF LEGACY INVESTOR-STATE DISPUTE SETTLEMENT.
(a) NAFTA CHAPTER 11 LEGACY CLAIMS.—The United States Trade Representative (USTR), in coordination with the Department of Justice, shall assert the following legal positions in all pending NAFTA Chapter 11 legacy arbitration claims to which the United States is a respondent: (1) that the enabling authority for NAFTA Chapter 11 claims was superseded by the USMCA as a matter of domestic constitutional law and treaty succession; (2) that the United States has not consented to the jurisdiction of any NAFTA arbitration panel to issue awards binding on the United States Treasury without Congressional appropriation; and (3) that the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (28 U.S.C. § 1602 et seq.) preserves the sovereign immunity of the United States against enforcement of any NAFTA Chapter 11 award in United States federal courts absent an Act of Congress specifically authorizing payment. Congress hereby affirms that no award issued by a NAFTA Chapter 11 arbitration panel shall be enforceable against the United States Treasury without an affirmative Act of Congress specifically authorizing payment. Nothing in this subsection prevents the USTR from negotiating negotiated settlements of pending claims through the State Department as a matter of executive discretion, where such settlement is certified as serving the national interest.
(b) USMCA RESIDUAL ISDS ELIMINATION.—The USTR shall initiate negotiations with Canada and Mexico within 90 days of enactment to eliminate the residual ISDS mechanism applicable to government contracts in the energy, telecommunications, and infrastructure sectors under USMCA Annex 14-E. Pending completion of such negotiations, the United States shall not consent to the jurisdiction of any new arbitration panel under Annex 14-E without specific affirmative authorization by Congress.
(c) ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION.—In lieu of ISDS, the United States shall propose a State-to-State Dispute Resolution Enhancement Protocol under USMCA Chapter 31, expanding the scope, speed, and enforceability of government-to-government dispute resolution as the exclusive mechanism for trade conflict resolution between the three parties.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 3003. LABOR ENFORCEMENT ESCALATION MECHANISM.
(a) RAPID RESPONSE MECHANISM EXPANSION.—The USTR shall immediately expand the scope of the USMCA Rapid Response Mechanism to cover:
(1) All manufacturing facilities in Mexico with 100 or more employees, not merely facilities identified through individual complaints;
(2) Systematic wage suppression below the minimum wage floors established in the USMCA labor annex, enforceable on a sectoral rather than facility-by-facility basis;
(3) Denial of collective bargaining rights, including corporate interference with union certification elections and retaliatory termination of organizing workers; and
(4) Workplace safety violations that create competitive cost advantages through non-compliance with standards equivalent to United States OSHA requirements.
(b) AUTOMATIC TARIFF TRIGGER.—If the USTR determines that Mexico or Canada has failed to remedy a documented labor violation within 45 days of a formal complaint under the RRM, the following automatic tariff escalation shall apply to goods produced in the non-compliant sector or facility:
(1) TIER 1 (Days 46-90): Additional 5% ad valorem tariff on imports from the non-compliant facility or sector;
(2) TIER 2 (Days 91-180): Additional 15% ad valorem tariff;
(3) TIER 3 (Day 181+): Suspension of USMCA preferential tariff treatment for the non-compliant sector, restoring Most Favored Nation (MFN) rates until compliance is certified by an independent USMCA labor panel.
(c) AMERICAN WORKER REMEDIATION FUND.—The fiscal routing of all tariff revenue collected under the escalation mechanism in subsection (b) is governed exclusively by Section 2419(b) of Title XXIV of this Act (American Fiscal Integrity Act). The American Worker Remediation Fund established therein, as a sub-account of the SIRF Labor Node, is the exclusive depository for such revenue. The fifty percent (50%) allocation mandate to wage supplements and retraining assistance is incorporated herein by reference.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 3004. CURRENCY MANIPULATION ENFORCEMENT.
(a) CURRENCY MISALIGNMENT DETERMINATION.—The Secretary of the Treasury, in coordination with the Federal Reserve, shall publish a quarterly Currency Misalignment Report assessing whether any USMCA trading partner is maintaining its currency at a level materially below its purchasing power parity-adjusted fair value through direct intervention, sterilized intervention, capital controls, or directed monetary policy.
(b) AUTOMATIC CURRENCY COUNTERVAILING DUTY.—Upon a finding that a USMCA trading partner's currency is misaligned by more than 10% relative to its fair value for two consecutive quarters, the Secretary of Commerce shall automatically impose a Currency Countervailing Duty (CCD) on imports from that trading partner equal to the documented misalignment percentage, applied on an ad valorem basis to all imported goods. The CCD shall remain in effect until the misalignment is reduced below 5%.
(c) REVENUE DISPOSITION.—The fiscal routing of all Currency Countervailing Duty revenue is governed exclusively by Section 2419(c) of Title XXIV of this Act (American Fiscal Integrity Act), which constitutes the sole appropriation and routing authority for CCD collections. The deployment mandate for domestic manufacturing investment under Section 401(b) is incorporated herein by reference.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 3005. RULES OF ORIGIN ESCALATION.
(a) AUTOMOTIVE CONTENT SCHEDULE.—The NSRA establishes the following escalating North American content requirements for light-duty vehicles to qualify for USMCA tariff preference, superseding the existing USMCA automotive rules of origin schedule:
(1) PHASE 1 (Years 1-3 after enactment): 75% North American content (current USMCA baseline maintained);
(2) PHASE 2 (Years 4-6): 80% North American content, with not less than 45% United States-origin content;
(3) PHASE 3 (Year 7+): 85% North American content, with not less than 50% United States-origin content, and not less than 30% produced in facilities meeting the USMCA High-Wage Material and Manufacturing Expenditure requirement.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 3006. PHARMACEUTICAL SOVEREIGNTY ASSERTION.
(a) USMCA DATA EXCLUSIVITY OVERRIDE.—The data exclusivity provisions of USMCA Article 20.F.13, which require 10 years of data protection for biologic pharmaceutical products, are hereby declared to be in direct conflict with the sovereign pharmaceutical price authority established under Title VIII (Schedule F) of this Act. Congress hereby exercises its plenary constitutional authority over domestic healthcare regulation to assert that the NSRA's pharmaceutical pricing provisions shall prevail over USMCA data exclusivity requirements as a matter of domestic law.
(b) COMPULSORY LICENSING PRESERVATION.—Nothing in USMCA shall be construed to limit the authority of the United States government to issue compulsory licenses for pharmaceutical products under 28 U.S.C. § 1498 or under the procedures established in Schedule F of this Act. The USTR shall notify Canada and Mexico of this sovereign assertion within 30 days of enactment and shall propose a USMCA amendment to bring Article 20.F.13 into conformity with the G7 pricing benchmark standard.
(c) RENEGOTIATION MANDATE.—The USTR shall include modification of USMCA pharmaceutical data exclusivity provisions as a mandatory United States objective in the USMCA Joint Review process scheduled for 2026, with the goal of reducing biologic data protection to the 8-year international standard endorsed by the World Health Organization.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 3007. BUY AMERICAN INFRASTRUCTURE ALIGNMENT.
(a) USMCA PROCUREMENT CARVE-OUT ASSERTION.—Congress hereby exercises its authority under USMCA Article 13.3 (General Exceptions) to assert that all federally funded infrastructure projects under this Act are excluded from USMCA national treatment procurement obligations on the grounds of national security, critical infrastructure protection, and the sovereign economic emergency identified in the findings of this Act.
(b) DOMESTIC CONTENT FLOORS.—All infrastructure projects funded through the SIRF shall comply with the following domestic content requirements, which shall be deemed consistent with USMCA Article 13.3 and not subject to challenge under USMCA Chapter 31:
(1) Not less than 100% of all iron, steel, and manufactured products used in SIRF-funded projects shall be produced in the United States;
(2) Not less than 55% of the total cost of components and subcomponents used in SIRF-funded infrastructure shall be mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States; and
(3) The final assembly of all SIRF-funded infrastructure products shall occur in the United States.

Title XXXI, American Mutual Benefit Global Health Sovereignty
›
A mutual-benefit (not charity) global health framework: unconditional child-survival funding, a pandemic early-warning network, an American Medical Export & Deployment Corps, diplomatic health compacts with verified reciprocity, and a Global Health Service Corps with medical-school debt forgiveness, funded from pandemic-risk-premium savings and export returns.
TITLE XXXI — AMERICAN MUTUAL BENEFIT GLOBAL HEALTH SOVEREIGNTY ACT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 3101. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that:
(1) Preventable childhood death — from vaccine-preventable diseases, clean water deprivation, malnutrition, and treatable infection — kills approximately 5 million children under the age of five annually worldwide, the overwhelming majority in low- and middle-income countries, at a cost that is morally unconscionable and strategically self-defeating for a nation that claims to lead the free world.
(2) The United States' withdrawal from international health aid frameworks has not reduced domestic healthcare costs, improved American fiscal position, or advanced American security interests. To the contrary, it has ceded global health leadership to China and Russia, who have deployed medical aid as a geopolitical instrument to expand their spheres of influence in Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Islands.
(3) The COVID-19 pandemic, originating from an inadequately surveilled infectious disease environment in a country with insufficient public health infrastructure, cost the United States an estimated $14 to $16 trillion in economic damage, healthcare expenditure, productivity loss, and fiscal response. A $10 billion annual investment in global disease surveillance and childhood health infrastructure would represent a fraction of one percent of the cost of the next pandemic it prevents.
(4) American foreign health assistance, when structured as mutual benefit rather than unilateral charity, generates documented economic returns including: export market development in recipient countries; preferential resource and supply chain access; diplomatic alignment on trade, security, and international body voting; reduction of migration pressure attributable to health system collapse; and the training of American medical personnel through international deployment that directly addresses domestic provider shortages.
(5) The United States pharmaceutical manufacturing sector, the American medical device industry, and American-trained global health professionals stand to benefit directly from a structured mutual-benefit health assistance framework that sources American products, deploys American personnel, and opens American-aligned health markets.
(6) Children dying of preventable disease are not a foreign policy abstraction. They are the proximate victims of a global health architecture that the United States built, led, and has now abandoned. The NSRA restores American global health engagement not as charity, but as a sovereign investment in the conditions that make American security, prosperity, and moral leadership possible.
(b) PURPOSE.—This Title establishes the American Mutual Benefit Global Health Sovereignty Framework (MGHS Framework), a structured international health assistance architecture that: prioritizes child survival and pandemic prevention; requires measurable, verified reciprocal commitments from recipient nations; deploys American-made medicines, equipment, and personnel; builds domestic medical training capacity through international service; and funds itself through pandemic risk premium savings, pharmaceutical export revenue, and diplomatic access returns documented by the FMIA.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 3102. AMERICAN MUTUAL BENEFIT GLOBAL HEALTH FUND.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—There is established the American Mutual Benefit Global Health Fund (MGHS Fund) within the SIRF Biosecurity Node, funded at not less than $8,000,000,000 annually, indexed to the Sovereign Productivity Index.
(b) MANDATORY FUNDING FLOORS BY CATEGORY.—
(1) CHILD SURVIVAL PRIORITY (40% — $3.2B/yr minimum): Vaccines, oral rehydration therapy, malnutrition treatment, pediatric HIV/AIDS antiretroviral therapy, and clean water infrastructure for children under 5 in nations with under-5 mortality rates exceeding 40 per 1,000 live births. No recipient eligibility, reciprocity, or diplomatic condition shall apply to this category. Children do not make foreign policy.
(2) PANDEMIC EARLY WARNING NETWORK (25% — $2B/yr minimum): Funding of disease surveillance infrastructure, laboratory capacity, outbreak response teams, and genomic sequencing networks in regions identified by the CDC as high-risk for novel pathogen emergence. Recipient nations must grant United States public health personnel unrestricted access to outbreak sites within 24 hours of notification as a condition of funding.
(3) AMERICAN MEDICAL EXPORT AND DEPLOYMENT CORPS (20% — $1.6B/yr): Procurement of American-manufactured vaccines, diagnostics, medical devices, and generic pharmaceuticals for international deployment, with a domestic content requirement of not less than 70%. Deployment of American-trained medical personnel through a revitalized and expanded Global Health Service Corps, with domestic medical school debt forgiveness incentives.
(4) MUTUAL BENEFIT DIPLOMATIC HEALTH COMPACT PROGRAM (15% — $1.2B/yr): Bilateral health assistance conditioned on verifiable reciprocal commitments from recipient nations, including: support for United States positions in World Health Organization governance; adoption of G7-aligned pharmaceutical pricing transparency standards; preferential sourcing agreements for American medical products; and cooperation with United States pandemic intelligence operations.
(c) SELF-FUNDING CERTIFICATION.—The FMIA shall publish an annual Pandemic Prevention Return on Investment Report calculating the estimated economic value of pandemics prevented or delayed through MGHS Fund activities, based on mortality, morbidity, and economic disruption modeling. The Report shall be submitted to the Congressional Budget Office for incorporation into SIRF revenue scoring. The NSRA declares that a single pandemic of COVID-19 scale justifies the entire 30-year cost of the MGHS Fund.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 3103. RECIPROCITY FRAMEWORK.
(a) TIERED RECIPROCITY STANDARDS.—
(1) TIER 1 — UNCONDITIONAL (Child Survival Priority): No reciprocity conditions. Applied to acute child mortality and emergency humanitarian response. The United States does not conditionalize vaccines for dying children.
(2) TIER 2 — MONITORED COOPERATION (Pandemic Surveillance): Recipient nations must grant access to public health personnel and share outbreak data within 24 hours. Noncompliance triggers suspension of Tier 2 funding pending remediation — not Tier 1 funding.
(3) TIER 3 — VERIFIED PARTNERSHIP (Export Corps and Diplomatic Compact): Full reciprocity framework applies. Recipient nations must demonstrate measurable progress on: domestic health financing commitments; G7-aligned pharmaceutical pricing transparency; American trade and market access; and alignment with United States positions in relevant international bodies.
(b) RECIPROCITY VERIFICATION.—The Department of State, in coordination with USAID and the FMIA, shall publish an annual Reciprocity Scorecard for each Tier 3 recipient nation, measuring compliance with each commitment category on a 0-100 scale. Nations scoring below 60 for two consecutive years shall be transitioned to Tier 2 status pending a diplomatic review.
(c) PROHIBITED CONDITIONALITY.—Reciprocity conditions may not be applied to: emergency famine or disaster relief; pediatric vaccination programs; oral rehydration therapy; clean water access infrastructure; or any intervention with a documented under-5 mortality impact. Political, ideological, or religious conditions on any MGHS Fund disbursement are expressly prohibited.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 3104. AMERICAN GLOBAL HEALTH SERVICE CORPS.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—There is established the American Global Health Service Corps (GHSC), an expansion of the existing National Health Service Corps model to include international deployment tracks for physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, public health professionals, and community health workers.
(b) DEBT FORGIVENESS INCENTIVE.—Any United States-trained and licensed healthcare professional who completes not less than 3 years of GHSC international deployment in a Tier 1 or Tier 2 MGHS recipient nation shall receive:
(1) Complete forgiveness of all outstanding federal student loan debt accumulated in the course of their medical or health professional education; and
(2) Priority placement in the SIRF-funded domestic healthcare infrastructure expansion programs upon return to the United States.
(c) DOMESTIC PROVIDER SHORTAGE CREDIT.—Upon completion of international service, GHSC alumni shall be credited with 150% of their service years toward any federal domestic provider shortage area service requirement, acknowledging that international health service builds expertise directly applicable to underserved American communities.
(d) TRAINING PIPELINE INVESTMENT.—The MGHS Fund shall allocate not less than $200,000,000 annually to expand domestic medical school capacity — specifically at Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, and rural medical schools — with priority admission for students who commit to GHSC international deployment followed by domestic shortage area practice.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 3105. CHILD SURVIVAL ACCOUNTABILITY.
(a) ANNUAL CHILD SURVIVAL REPORT.—The FMIA shall publish an annual Child Survival Accountability Report documenting:
(1) The number of children under 5 reached by MGHS Fund interventions in the preceding year;
(2) The estimated number of under-5 deaths prevented, calculated using WHO-validated mortality modeling;
(3) A cost-per-life-saved calculation for each intervention category;
(4) The diplomatic, trade, and pandemic prevention returns documented for Tier 2 and Tier 3 programs; and
(5) A comparative analysis of Chinese and Russian medical aid deployments in the same period and their geopolitical consequences for United States interests.
(b) CONGRESSIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY.—The Child Survival Report shall be delivered to the full Congress and made publicly available on the FMIA public website within 30 days of publication. Any Member of Congress who votes to reduce MGHS Fund appropriations below the mandatory floor shall provide a written public statement of justification within 14 days of such vote.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 3106. BUDGET NEUTRALITY AND REVENUE CERTIFICATION.
This Title is funded from the SIRF Biosecurity Node and is net-positive on a 10-year basis through: (1) pandemic risk premium reduction valued at $200–500B per pandemic-year prevented; (2) American pharmaceutical and medical device export revenue generated through the Medical Export Corps; (3) preferential resource and trade access returns from Tier 3 diplomatic compacts; and (4) domestic medical workforce expansion reducing long-term healthcare delivery costs. The CBO shall incorporate FMIA pandemic prevention modeling in its scoring of this Title consistent with the risk-adjusted return methodology established in Section 1502 of this Act.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Passed by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled.
Title XXXIV, Structural Architecture Refinement & SIRF Sovereignty
›
Retires the universal cash dividend in favor of direct structural cost elimination, defines the SIRF's mandatory statutory base-revenue streams and four-tier priority waterfall, revises the 12-node allocation table, updates the Year-1 fiscal summary ($554B net surplus), and establishes the Sovereign Compute Node and Strategic Mobility Infrastructure Node.
TITLE XXXIV — STRUCTURAL ARCHITECTURE REFINEMENT AND SIRF SOVEREIGNTY ACT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 3401. RETIREMENT OF THE AMERICAN PROSPERITY DIVIDEND.
(a) SUPERSESSION.—The Household Structural Relief Node, previously established as a universal cash distribution mechanism tied to market-dependent SIRF returns, is hereby retired and superseded. No provision of this Act shall be construed to authorize HSRN cash distributions. The retirement of HSRN reflects the determination that market-dependent universal cash transfers create employment disincentive effects, are vulnerable to political lobbying by recipients against structural reforms, and are less effective per dollar than direct structural cost elimination in improving aggregate household economic position.
(b) REALLOCATION.—The twenty percent (20%) SIRF node allocation previously designated for HSRN is redesignated the Household Structural Relief Node. The Household Structural Relief Node shall fund: zero-interest student debt conversion (Title V); the Sovereign Child Prosperity Trust birth deposits (Title V); the Shelter Sovereignty Fund down payment assistance (Title XIV); SPI-WFTC wage floor tax credits (Title V); and any other direct structural cost elimination mechanisms designated by the FMIA consistent with the Restoration Principle of Section 504(c).
(c) SURPLUS IMPROVEMENT.—The retirement of HSRN as a standing expenditure improves the net annual NSRA surplus from four hundred fifty billion dollars ($450,000,000,000) to five hundred fifty-four billion dollars ($554,000,000,000), reflecting elimination of the approximately one hundred billion dollars ($100,000,000,000) annual HSRN cash distribution expenditure. This surplus improvement is reflected in the fiscal summary of Section 3406.
SEC. 3402. SIRF STATUTORY BASE REVENUE ARCHITECTURE.
(a) DECLARATION OF CLOSED-LOOP DESIGN.—The Sovereign Infrastructure and Resilience Fund is designed as a closed-loop, self-capitalizing sovereign fund. Its fiscal sustainability depends on scored, statutory revenue streams — not behavioral enforcement outcomes.
(b) SIRF STATUTORY BASE REVENUE STREAMS.—The following revenue streams are designated Statutory Base Revenue of the SIRF, meaning they are mandatory, self-executing, annually recurring, and not dependent on penalty or enforcement outcomes:
(1) National Infrastructure Monetization Authority (NIMA) revenues: estimated thirty-nine billion six hundred million dollars ($39,600,000,000) per year;
(2) Financial Transaction Assessment (FTA) revenues: estimated seven billion dollars ($7,000,000,000) per year;
(3) Leveraged Buyout Structural Assessment (LBO): estimated eighteen billion dollars ($18,000,000,000) per year;
(4) Carried Interest Recapture: estimated fourteen billion dollars ($14,000,000,000) per year;
(5) IRS Enforcement Sovereignty Fund (IESF) net return: estimated sixty to ninety billion dollars ($60,000,000,000 to $90,000,000,000) per year net of enforcement cost, based on Congressional Research Service modeling of enforcement investment returns; and
(6) Carbon Fee and Border Adjustment: estimated forty billion dollars ($40,000,000,000) per year.
Total Statutory Base Revenue: one hundred seventy-eight billion dollars ($178,000,000,000) to two hundred forty billion dollars ($240,000,000,000) per year.
(c) SIRF SUPPLEMENTAL REVENUE STREAMS.—The following revenue streams are designated Supplemental Revenue, meaning they enhance SIRF capitalization but are not assumed in base fiscal projections:
(1) Structural variance penalties and clawbacks under Titles I, IX, XI, XIII, XIV, and XXII;
(2) Judicial disgorgement orders routed to SIRF nodes under Titles VII, X, and XI;
(3) Health Profiteering Surplus Assessment (HPSA) revenues; and
(4) Any other penalty, forfeiture, or enforcement recovery designated by the FMIA.
(d) STATUTORY BASE REVENUE SUFFICIENCY DECLARATION.—The Statutory Base Revenue streams of subsection (b) are independently sufficient to fund all SIRF node deployment commitments established in this Act at their minimum annual levels without reliance on Supplemental Revenue. Supplemental Revenue shall be treated as surplus capitalization that accelerates deployment or increases node allocations above minimum statutory floors.
(e) SIRF FOUR-TIER PRIORITY WATERFALL.—SIRF funds shall be deployed in the following strict priority order:
(1) TIER 1 — MANDATORY STRUCTURAL OBLIGATIONS.—Basic Minimum Plan federal per-capita payments; TANF structural floor enhancement; Sovereign Child Prosperity Trust birth deposits; Shelter Sovereignty Fund; Household Structural Relief Node mechanisms. Tier 1 obligations are non-discretionary and shall be funded first in each fiscal quarter before any Tier 2 disbursement.
(2) TIER 2 — DEBT SOVEREIGNTY AND WAGE FLOOR.—Zero-interest student loan conversion interest subsidy; SPI-WFTC wage floor tax credits; Social Security anti-erosion protections; Veterans Health Sovereignty Fund. Tier 2 obligations shall be funded in full each quarter before any Tier 3 disbursement.
(3) TIER 3 — DOMESTIC INFRASTRUCTURE AND SOVEREIGNTY INVESTMENT.—All SIRF node infrastructure deployments including energy sovereignty, environmental remediation, agricultural sovereignty, semiconductor sovereignty, water security, wildlife corridor and rewilding, grid modernization, and rural health. Tier 3 is funded from remaining SIRF revenues after Tier 1 and Tier 2 obligations are met.
(4) TIER 4 — INTERNATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY FUNDS.—The American Mutual Benefit Global Health Sovereignty Fund (Title XXXI) and any international diplomatic infrastructure fund. Tier 4 disbursements are made exclusively from Supplemental Revenue surplus and shall not be funded from Statutory Base Revenue in any quarter where Tier 1 through Tier 3 commitments have not been fully met.
SEC. 3403. HOUSEHOLD STRUCTURAL RELIEF NODE — DESIGNATED MECHANISMS.
The Household Structural Relief Node (formerly HSRN allocation) shall fund the following mechanisms in priority order within the Node:
(1) Zero-interest student loan conversion interest subsidy — priority funding;
(2) Sovereign Child Prosperity Trust birth deposits — four billion dollars ($4,000,000,000) annually;
(3) Shelter Sovereignty Fund down payment and rental assistance — one billion five hundred million dollars ($1,500,000,000) annually;
(4) SPI-WFTC wage floor tax credits — ten billion dollars ($10,000,000,000) annually;
(5) TANF structural floor enhancement supplement — five billion dollars ($5,000,000,000) annually.
The FMIA shall publish an annual Household Structural Relief Node Utilization Report confirming that Node funds have been deployed exclusively to the above mechanisms.
SEC. 3404. HOUSEHOLD STRUCTURAL RELIEF NODE — CROSS-TITLE CLARIFICATION.
Any reference in this Act to a universal cash distribution mechanism tied to SIRF market returns is hereby superseded by the Household Structural Relief Node framework of this Title. Schedule E benchmark reporting obligations are governed by the FMIA's consolidated Schedule D reporting mandate under Title XIX. The FMIA shall publish a reconciliation notice within ninety (90) days of enactment identifying all superseded provisions and confirming the operative mechanisms.
SEC. 3405. SIRF NODE ALLOCATION TABLE — REVISED.
The SIRF node allocation percentages are revised as follows, effective from the date of enactment of this Title:
(1) Household Structural Relief Node: 15%;
(2) Tier 1 Mandatory Structural Obligations Reserve: 15%;
(3) Vanguard Capitalization Node: 15%;
(4) Environmental Remediation Node: 9%;
(5) Energy Sovereignty Node: 9%;
(6) Agricultural Sovereignty Node: 9%;
(7) Sovereign Deficit Reduction Node: 5%;
(8) Knowledge Sovereignty Node: 2%;
(9) Biosecurity and Pharmaceutical Node: 6%;
(10) Administrative Operations Reserve: 3%;
(11) Sovereign Compute Node: 6%;
(12) Strategic Mobility Infrastructure Node: 6%.
Total allocation: one hundred percent (100%).
RATIONALE FOR REVISIONS FROM PRIOR TABLE.—(a) Vanguard Capitalization Node increased from fifteen percent (15%) to twenty percent (20%), reflecting the shift from grant-dominant to investment-instrument-dominant deployment, making the node partially self-replenishing. (b) Sovereign Deficit Reduction Node reduced from ten percent (10%) to five percent (5%): debt discipline is preserved by the automatic surplus-transfer mechanism in Section 3402(d), which routes any SIRF balance above one hundred twenty percent (120%) of obligations to mandatory deficit reduction; the standing node is no longer required at its prior size. (c) Knowledge Sovereignty Node reduced from five percent (5%) to two percent (2%): the Knowledge Sovereignty mission is substantially absorbed by the new Sovereign Compute Node. (d) Energy Sovereignty Node increased from ten percent (10%) to twelve percent (12%) to fund the Energy Dividend established in Section 301(d) as amended. (e) Two new nodes established: Sovereign Compute Node (five percent (5%)) and Strategic Mobility Infrastructure Node (eleven percent (11%)), as governed by Sections 3408 and 3409 respectively.
SEC. 3406. UPDATED FISCAL SUMMARY — NSRA YEAR 1 ARCHITECTURE.
(a) REVENUE.—Total scored annual revenue from all NSRA revenue streams: seven hundred forty-nine billion dollars ($749,000,000,000) at full operational ramp (Year 3–5 baseline). Year 1 Statutory Base Revenue alone — the minimum, mandatory, enforcement-independent streams documented in Schedule G Section 2 — is four hundred seventy-one billion six hundred million dollars ($471,600,000,000) under the NSRA base projection (Scenario A) or three hundred fifty-five billion dollars ($355,000,000,000) under the CBO Conservative Floor (Scenario B), both of which independently exceed all Tier 1 and Tier 2 SIRF waterfall obligations. See Schedule G, Section 4 for the complete scenario analysis.
(b) STRUCTURAL PROGRAM EXPENDITURES.—Total annual expenditures for structural program delivery:
(1) Basic Minimum Plan — BMP carrier payments: estimated eighty billion dollars ($80,000,000,000), fully offset by consolidation of existing Medicaid, CHIP, and ACA subsidy expenditures;
(2) Zero-interest student loan conversion: estimated twenty billion dollars ($20,000,000,000) annual interest subsidy cost, partially offset by elimination of existing income-driven repayment administrative costs;
(3) TANF structural enhancement (25% increase): estimated five billion dollars ($5,000,000,000);
(4) SPI-WFTC wage floor tax credit: estimated ten billion dollars ($10,000,000,000);
(5) Housing sovereignty fund and down payment assistance: estimated one billion five hundred million dollars ($1,500,000,000);
(6) Sovereign Child Prosperity Trust birth deposits: estimated four billion dollars ($4,000,000,000) annually based on approximately 3.6 million births;
(7) IESF mandatory IRS investment: fifteen billion dollars ($15,000,000,000), generating $75-105B net return;
(8) Veterans Health Sovereignty Fund: estimated eight billion dollars ($8,000,000,000);
(9) Social Security anti-erosion protections: estimated thirty billion dollars ($30,000,000,000);
(10) Rural Health Sovereignty Fund — demand-adjusted: three billion dollars ($3,000,000,000) annually for years one through five, scaling to one billion five hundred million dollars ($1,500,000,000) annually for years six through ten based on FMIA Rural Health Demand Assessment under Section 2109(b)(2).
Total structural expenditures: approximately one hundred seventy-four billion dollars ($174,000,000,000), partially offset by existing federal program consolidation producing net new federal expenditure of approximately one hundred billion dollars ($100,000,000,000).
(c) MANDATORY GROWTH REINVESTMENT — $100B/YR SOVEREIGN INFRASTRUCTURE ALLOCATION.—SIRF infrastructure node deployments totaling ninety-five billion dollars ($95,000,000,000) per year, allocated as follows:
(1) Intelligent National Grid Modernization (Section 905, Title IX): twenty-five billion dollars ($25,000,000,000) per year;
(2) Urban and Rural Wildlife Corridor and Rewilding Infrastructure (Section 1005, Title X): twenty-two billion dollars ($22,000,000,000) per year;
(3) National Food System Detoxification and Soil Sovereignty — comprising Regional Food System Infrastructure (Section 706, Title VII) and Agricultural Pesticide Transition Support (Section 705(d), Title VII): twenty billion dollars ($20,000,000,000) per year;
(4) Semiconductor and Critical Materials Sovereignty (Section 1204, Title XII): fifteen billion dollars ($15,000,000,000) per year;
(5) National Water Security and Redistribution Infrastructure (Section 1004, Title X): fifteen billion dollars ($15,000,000,000) per year;
(6) Demand-Adjusted Rural Health Physical Infrastructure (Section 2109, Title XXI): three billion dollars ($3,000,000,000) per year for years one through five, scaling per FMIA assessment.
Note: The foregoing totals ninety-five to one hundred billion dollars ($95,000,000,000 to $100,000,000,000) per year. The upstream prevention reforms of Titles VII, X, and XI are projected to reduce long-term BMP and federal health program expenditures by not less than eighty billion dollars ($80,000,000,000) annually within fifteen years, as documented in Section 2109(a)(2), materially improving the long-term fiscal position of the Act beyond the Year 1 architecture reflected in this section.
(d) NET ANNUAL SURPLUS AVAILABLE FOR DEFICIT REDUCTION.—Seven hundred forty-nine billion dollars ($749,000,000,000) revenue minus one hundred billion dollars ($100,000,000,000) net structural expenditures minus ninety-five billion dollars ($95,000,000,000) mandatory growth reinvestment equals five hundred fifty-four billion dollars ($554,000,000,000) available for annual federal deficit reduction.
(e) REVISED SURPLUS DESIGNATION.—The net annual surplus of five hundred fifty-four billion dollars ($554,000,000,000) supersedes the prior estimate of four hundred fifty billion dollars ($450,000,000,000), reflecting the retirement of HSRN as a standing expenditure. This surplus is designated a Sovereign Credibility Reserve under Section 3204(c) of Title XXXII and shall be applied to mandatory debt service and net deficit reduction in the priority order established therein.
SEC. 3407. SCHEDULE D BENCHMARKS — TITLE XXXIV.
The FMIA shall report annually on: (1) SIRF Statutory Base Revenue collected versus projection by stream; (2) Tier 1 waterfall obligation fulfillment rate — whether all Tier 1 obligations were met in full in each quarter; (3) aggregate household structural relief delivered by mechanism; (4) net annual federal deficit reduction attributable to NSRA revenue architecture; (5) debt-to-GDP ratio trend; (6) upstream prevention actuarial savings realized versus Section 2109 projections; (7) Vanguard Node compound growth rate and portfolio return rate; (8) Sovereign Compute Node infrastructure deployed and cost-per-inference-unit; (9) Energy Sovereignty Node residential credit delivered per utility.

SEC. 3408. SOVEREIGN COMPUTE NODE — NATIONAL AI INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC COMPUTE.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—There is established within the SIRF a dedicated allocation to be known as the Sovereign Compute Node (SCN), receiving five percent (5%) of SIRF base revenues as established in Section 3405(11).
(b) MISSION.—The Sovereign Compute Node shall fund the construction, ownership, and operation of public-interest compute infrastructure to ensure that artificial intelligence capabilities, data processing, and digital infrastructure remain accessible to American citizens, researchers, and small businesses and are not exclusively concentrated in private commercial infrastructure subject to foreign influence or monopolistic pricing. The long-run policy objective of the Sovereign Compute Node is not tariff collection as a permanent revenue stream but the accumulation of federally owned productive compute assets — held and operated through the Sovereign Compute Authority established in Title XXXIII — whose commercial lease and service revenues supplant the SIRF allocation over time, converting a public expenditure into a sovereign capital asset that generates revenue in perpetuity. The Data Commons Tariff is seed capital; the SCA asset base is the strategic endpoint.
(c) AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS.—The SCN shall invest in:
(1) NATIONAL AI CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE.—Federally owned or co-owned data center facilities providing compute access at below-market rates to domestic academic institutions, small businesses, Vanguard Entities, and federal agencies;
(2) MUNICIPAL COMPUTING ARRAYS.—Distributed compute infrastructure deployed in partnership with state and local governments, prioritizing underserved rural and urban communities;
(3) SOVEREIGN DATA CENTERS.—Secure, quantum-hardened data center facilities supporting FMIA operations, SIRF ledger infrastructure, and Digital Monetary Sovereignty functions under Section 3207;
(4) PUBLIC INFERENCE INFRASTRUCTURE.—Open-access AI inference services enabling domestic startups and researchers to access frontier AI capabilities without dependency on foreign-controlled infrastructure;
(5) RESEARCH COMPUTE GRANTS.—Grants to domestic academic institutions and national laboratories for compute-intensive research in AI safety, quantum computing, and materials science.
(d) SELF-FUNDING TRAJECTORY.—The SCN shall operate on a cost-recovery basis within seven (7) years of initial deployment. Below-cost access rates shall be limited to non-commercial academic and public-interest users. Commercial users accessing SCN infrastructure shall be charged market rates, with net revenue returned to the SCN for reinvestment. The FMIA shall certify annually whether SCN revenue is sufficient to reduce the standing five percent (5%) SIRF allocation; upon self-funding certification, the SIRF allocation may be reduced by the FMIA in one-percent (1%) annual increments.
(e) MINIMUM PRODUCTIVE ASSET REQUIREMENT.—Not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of all SCN deployments in any fiscal year shall be invested in revenue-producing infrastructure assets, consistent with the sovereign wealth fund discipline of Section 204(e).
(f) RELATIONSHIP TO DIGITAL MONETARY SOVEREIGNTY.—SCN infrastructure shall serve as the physical compute layer for the Digital Dollar Settlement Network and cryptographic verification systems established under Section 3207(c). SCN and DDSI functions shall be co-located where operationally feasible to maximize infrastructure efficiency.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 3409. STRATEGIC MOBILITY INFRASTRUCTURE NODE.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—There is established within the SIRF a dedicated allocation to be known as the Strategic Mobility Infrastructure Node (SMIN), receiving eleven percent (11%) of SIRF base revenues as established in Section 3405(12).
(b) MISSION.—The Strategic Mobility Infrastructure Node shall fund physical infrastructure investments with high national economic multiplier value, prioritizing assets that generate ongoing revenue, reduce national logistics costs, and strengthen domestic supply chain sovereignty.
(c) MINIMUM PRODUCTIVE ASSET REQUIREMENT.—Not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of all SMIN deployments in any fiscal year shall be invested in revenue-producing assets. Qualifying productive assets include:
(1) fiber optic backbone networks with commercial carrier access agreements;
(2) port facility upgrades with terminal operating revenue;
(3) logistics hub construction with long-term private operator lease agreements;
(4) inland waterway infrastructure with toll or usage-fee revenue;
(5) industrial park and advanced manufacturing campus development with tenant lease revenue.
(d) ELIGIBLE INVESTMENT CATEGORIES.—SMIN deployments shall be concentrated in:
(1) NATIONAL RAIL SOVEREIGNTY.—Continuation and expansion of the National Rail Sovereignty corridors established under Section 803;
(2) PORT AND LOGISTICS INFRASTRUCTURE.—Modernization of strategic domestic ports and inland freight logistics hubs;
(3) BROADBAND AND FIBER BACKBONE.—Long-haul fiber infrastructure connecting rural and underserved communities to national broadband networks;
(4) TRANSMISSION INFRASTRUCTURE.—High-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission lines and interstate grid interconnections supporting the Energy Sovereignty Node;
(5) INDUSTRIAL CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT.—Planned industrial parks and manufacturing campuses in economically distressed regions designated as Manufacturing Renaissance Zones under Section 1202.
(e) CO-INVESTMENT REQUIREMENT.—SMIN deployments exceeding one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) shall require matching private or state co-investment at a minimum ratio of one private dollar for every two SMIN dollars, consistent with the co-investment framework of Section 006.
Title XXXV, Sovereign Integrity & Executive Accountability
›
Enforceable financial-conduct standards for senior officials: Emoluments Clause enforcement with a private right of action, a foreign-government-linked enterprise prohibition during service, beneficial-ownership transparency, divestiture into blind trusts, revolving-door cooling-off periods, and criminal penalties for willful violations.
TITLE XXXV — SOVEREIGN INTEGRITY AND EXECUTIVE ACCOUNTABILITY ACT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 3501. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that:
(1) The Emoluments Clauses of the Constitution — Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 (Foreign Emoluments) and Article II, Section 1, Clause 7 (Domestic Emoluments) — prohibit the President and other federal officers from receiving personal financial benefits from foreign governments or from sources other than their official compensation, yet no adequate statutory enforcement mechanism with private right of action has existed to compel compliance;
(2) The practice of senior executive branch officials and their immediate family members maintaining active foreign business partnerships, licensing agreements, and revenue-sharing arrangements with foreign government-linked entities during their tenure in office creates structural conflicts of interest that compromise sovereign decision-making on matters of trade, defense, and diplomatic policy;
(3) The sale or licensing of the presidential or vice-presidential identity, name, or brand for commercial purposes during a term of office to foreign nationals or foreign government-linked enterprises constitutes a per se violation of the Foreign Emoluments Clause regardless of the transactional form used;
(4) Current financial disclosure requirements under the Ethics in Government Act permit broad exemptions, delayed reporting, and valuation ranges that obscure the full scope of financial conflicts and do not reach family members' business dealings that create indirect emoluments;
(5) Strategic assets of the United States — including military positioning decisions, tariff structures, regulatory enforcement priorities, and foreign aid allocations — have documented monetary value to private parties, and decisions affecting those assets by officials with undisclosed financial interests in the outcomes constitute a form of sovereign corruption regardless of whether a quid pro quo is proven;
(6) The revolving door between senior regulatory positions and the industries those positions regulate undermines the structural independence of federal enforcement and creates a rational expectation among Covered Entities that regulatory capture is achievable through employment offers, thereby suppressing enforcement prior to departure; and
(7) A comprehensive statutory framework addressing beneficial ownership transparency, foreign business prohibition during tenure, emoluments enforcement with private right of action, and post-service cooling-off periods is necessary to protect the integrity of sovereign decision-making and restore public trust in federal governance.
(b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this Title is to establish enforceable statutory standards for the financial conduct of senior federal officials and their immediate family members during and following federal service, to create a private right of action for Emoluments Clause violations, and to eliminate structural conflicts of interest that compromise sovereign policy-making.
SEC. 3502. DEFINITIONS — TITLE XXXV.
As used in this Title:
(1) COVERED OFFICIAL.—The President, Vice President, any Cabinet Secretary, Deputy Secretary, Under Secretary, or Assistant Secretary of any executive department, any member of the White House senior staff, any member of the National Security Council, any independent agency head, and any other executive branch official confirmed by the Senate or serving in a position with a salary at or above the Executive Schedule Level IV rate.
(2) IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBER.—The spouse, domestic partner, child, sibling, or parent of a Covered Official, and any entity in which such a person holds a controlling interest or serves in a management capacity.
(3) FOREIGN GOVERNMENT-LINKED ENTERPRISE.—Any enterprise in which a foreign government, foreign sovereign wealth fund, foreign state-owned enterprise, or any entity in which a foreign government holds a direct or indirect ownership interest of ten percent (10%) or more, holds an ownership, licensing, revenue-sharing, or advisory interest.
(4) SOVEREIGNINTEGRITY ENTERPRISE.--Any domestic entity, including a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust, or nonprofit organization, in which a Covered Official or Immediate Family Member holds a financial interest of five percent (5%) or more, serves in a management or advisory capacity, or from which a Covered Official or Immediate Family Member has received compensation exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000) in any twelve-month period within the four (4) years preceding the Covered Official's appointment.
SEC. 3503. FINANCIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST PROHIBITIONS.
(a) DIVESTITURE REQUIREMENT.--Every Covered Official shall, within ninety (90) days of assuming office, divest all financial interests in any Sovereign Integrity Enterprise that presents a direct conflict with the Covered Official's official duties, as determined by the Office of Government Ethics. Divestiture shall be into a qualified blind trust meeting the standards of 5 U.S.C. App. 4 sec. 102(f), or through outright sale at fair market value.
(b) FOREIGN ENTERPRISE PROHIBITION.--No Covered Official may hold, directly or through an Immediate Family Member, any financial interest in a Foreign Government-Linked Enterprise during the Covered Official's term of service. Any such interest held at the time of appointment shall be divested within sixty (60) days of enactment or appointment, whichever is later.
(c) ENFORCEMENT.--The Office of Government Ethics shall publish a quarterly Sovereign Integrity Compliance Report listing all Covered Officials, their divestiture status, and any outstanding compliance deficiencies. The FMIA shall cross-reference financial disclosure filings with its enterprise database to identify undisclosed interests and transmit findings to the Department of Justice Public Integrity Section within thirty (30) days of identification.
(d) PENALTIES.--Willful violation of this section by a Covered Official shall constitute a federal offense punishable by not more than five (5) years imprisonment, a civil fine of not less than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) per violation, and permanent disqualification from federal service.
SEC. 3504. SOVEREIGN ACCOUNTABILITY -- SCHEDULE D BENCHMARKS.
The FMIA shall report biennially to Congress on: (1) number of Covered Officials achieving full divestiture compliance within the required window; (2) number and disposition of identified undisclosed financial interests referred to the Department of Justice Public Integrity Section; (3) number of Emoluments Clause private-right-of-action suits filed and their outcomes; (4) number of Foreign Government-Linked Enterprise interests divested under Section 3503(b); and (5) post-service cooling-off period compliance rates among departing Covered Officials.
Title XXXVI, Foreign Influence Transparency & Adversary Capital Defense
›
Country-neutral foreign-influence rules: closes the FARA/Lobbying-Disclosure-Act exemption for ALL foreign-government principals (allies and adversaries alike), requires foreign-funded influence disclosure for think tanks/media, establishes an adversary-capital screen on sensitive U.S. assets, and adds beneficial-ownership look-through to defeat front companies, all triggered by conduct, not nationality, with an express First Amendment / equal-protection rule of construction.
TITLE XXXVI — FOREIGN INFLUENCE TRANSPARENCY AND ADVERSARY CAPITAL DEFENSE ACT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SEC. 3601. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that:
(1) The integrity of sovereign policy-making depends on transparency as to which foreign principals are directing, funding, or participating in efforts to influence United States legislation, regulation, procurement, and public opinion, and existing law contains structural gaps that permit such influence to remain undisclosed;
(2) The Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. § 1601 et seq.) exemption to the Foreign Agents Registration Act (22 U.S.C. § 611 et seq.) ("FARA") permits a person lobbying in the United States on behalf of a foreign principal to register under the less rigorous Lobbying Disclosure Act in lieu of FARA, thereby avoiding FARA's more comprehensive disclosure of the foreign principal relationship, the activities undertaken, and the compensation received;
(3) This Title regulates conduct — the undisclosed direction, funding, or control of influence activity by foreign principals, and the acquisition of sensitive United States assets by capital traceable to foreign adversaries — and does not regulate, restrict, or disfavor any person on the basis of national origin, ethnicity, religion, or the viewpoint or content of protected speech;
(4) The disclosure obligations of this Title apply with equal force to influence activity directed, funded, or controlled by any foreign government, whether an ally, a partner, a neutral, or a designated adversary of the United States, and impose no obligation by reason of the identity of any domestic ethnic, national-origin, or religious community;
(5) The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States lacks comprehensive, categorical authority over the full range of acquisitions, greenfield investments, and controlling interests by which capital traceable to foreign adversaries may acquire United States critical infrastructure, defense-relevant supply chains, sovereign compute capacity, agricultural land, and real property proximate to sensitive national security facilities; and
(6) Sanctions-evasion and asymmetric capital-flight networks routinely employ shell entities, front companies, and nominee ownership structures established in high-risk jurisdictions to obscure the beneficial ownership of capital and to defeat enforcement, and a beneficial-ownership look-through standard is necessary to give effect to the capital-flight lock authority of Section 1806.
(b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this Title is to require uniform, viewpoint-neutral and nationality-neutral disclosure of foreign-principal influence activity, to close the Lobbying Disclosure Act exemption with respect to foreign-government principals, to establish a categorical screen on the acquisition of sensitive United States assets by capital traceable to foreign adversaries, and to extend a beneficial-ownership look-through standard to the enforcement authorities of this Act.
(c) RULE OF CONSTRUCTION — FIRST AMENDMENT AND EQUAL PROTECTION.—Nothing in this Title shall be construed to prohibit, penalize, or burden protected speech, association, petition, or the expression of any viewpoint, or to impose any obligation on any person by reason of that person's race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, or membership in any community. This Title imposes disclosure and screening obligations triggered solely by conduct, namely a documented relationship of foreign-principal direction, funding, or control, or a documented chain of beneficial ownership traceable to a foreign adversary. Each obligation under this Title shall be construed and applied as the least restrictive means of achieving the compelling governmental interest in transparency of foreign influence and protection of sovereign assets, consistent with the First Amendment and the equal protection component of the Fifth Amendment.
SEC. 3602. DEFINITIONS — TITLE XXXVI.
As used in this Title:
(1) FOREIGN PRINCIPAL.—The term has the meaning given in 22 U.S.C. § 611(b), and includes any foreign government, foreign political party, foreign-government-controlled entity, and any person outside the United States acting at the direction or under the control of any of the foregoing.
(2) FOREIGN ADVERSARY.—Any foreign government or regime designated as a foreign adversary by the Secretary of Commerce under 15 C.F.R. § 7.4, or otherwise designated as a foreign adversary by Federal statute or by Executive determination published in the Federal Register. The designation shall be made by reference to documented governmental conduct and not by reference to the population, diaspora, or ethnicity of any nation. As of the date of enactment, this term includes the governments identified in the prevailing Federal foreign-adversary designation; the operative list is the published designation in effect at the time of any enforcement action under this Title.
(3) ADVERSARY-TRACEABLE CAPITAL.—Capital in which a Foreign Adversary, an instrumentality of a Foreign Adversary, or a person owned or controlled by a Foreign Adversary holds, directly or through any chain of intermediary entities, a beneficial ownership interest of twenty-five percent (25%) or more, or over which such a person exercises control irrespective of the nominal percentage of ownership.
(4) SENSITIVE UNITED STATES ASSET.—(A) critical infrastructure as defined in 42 U.S.C. § 5195c(e); (B) any element of a defense-relevant supply chain certified as such by the Secretary of Defense; (C) sovereign compute capacity within the meaning of Title XXXIII; (D) agricultural land exceeding three hundred twenty (320) contiguous acres; and (E) real property located within twenty-five (25) miles of a military installation, defense research facility, or other facility designated as sensitive by the Secretary of Defense.
(5) BENEFICIAL OWNER.—The term has the meaning given in 31 U.S.C. § 5336(a)(3), determined on a look-through basis through every intermediary entity, nominee, trust, and front company, without regard to the jurisdiction of organization of any intermediary.
(6) COVERED INFLUENCE ACTIVITY.—Any lobbying activity within the meaning of 2 U.S.C. § 1602, and any public-relations, political-consulting, or research-and-advocacy activity intended to influence United States Government policy or public opinion on a matter of public concern, that is directed, funded, supervised, or controlled, in whole or in part, by a Foreign Principal.
SEC. 3603. CLOSURE OF THE LOBBYING DISCLOSURE ACT EXEMPTION FOR FOREIGN-GOVERNMENT PRINCIPALS.
(a) ELIMINATION OF EXEMPTION.—Section 3(h) of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (22 U.S.C. § 613(h)) is amended so that the exemption for persons registered under the Lobbying Disclosure Act shall not apply to any person engaged in Covered Influence Activity on behalf of, or under the direction or control of, a foreign government or foreign political party. Such a person shall register and report under FARA.
(b) PARITY OF DISCLOSURE — ALL FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS.—The obligation established in subsection (a) applies identically to influence activity directed, funded, or controlled by any foreign government, without distinction between allied, partner, neutral, or adversary governments. No foreign government's directed influence activity shall be exempt from FARA registration by reason of an alliance, treaty, defense, intelligence, or trade relationship with the United States.
(c) PARTICIPATION DISCLOSURE.—Any registrant under the Lobbying Disclosure Act shall disclose, in each periodic report, the identity of any foreign government entity or foreign political party that participates in the direction, planning, supervision, or control of the registrant's lobbying activities, regardless of whether that entity finances the activities. This subsection codifies the disclosure standard and applies uniformly to all foreign governments.
(d) NO REGULATION OF DOMESTIC ADVOCACY.—Nothing in this section requires registration or disclosure by any United States person engaged in advocacy that is not directed, funded, supervised, or controlled by a Foreign Principal. The sharing of a policy viewpoint with, or alignment of a policy position with that of, a foreign government does not, without a documented relationship of direction, funding, supervision, or control, constitute Covered Influence Activity.
SEC. 3604. FOREIGN-FUNDED INFLUENCE DISCLOSURE — RESEARCH, ADVOCACY, AND MEDIA.
(a) DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENT.—Any organization exempt from taxation under section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, and any media or research organization, that produces or disseminates research, analysis, or advocacy intended to influence United States Government policy and that has received aggregate funding of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) or more from one or more Foreign Principals within the preceding twelve (12) months, shall disclose the identity of each such Foreign Principal and the aggregate amount received, in a public filing with the Department of Justice and in a conspicuous notation on the published product.
(b) NATIONALITY NEUTRALITY.—The disclosure obligation of this section applies to funding from any Foreign Principal of any nation, and creates no obligation triggered by the national origin, ethnicity, or religion of the organization's members, donors, or staff.
(c) NO CONTENT RESTRICTION.—This section imposes no restriction on the content, viewpoint, or conclusions of any research, analysis, or advocacy. It requires only disclosure of the funding relationship.
SEC. 3605. ADVERSARY CAPITAL SCREEN ON SENSITIVE UNITED STATES ASSETS.
(a) SCREEN ESTABLISHED.—No person shall acquire a controlling interest in, or a greenfield ownership position in, any Sensitive United States Asset using Adversary-Traceable Capital, except upon prior review and written clearance by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States or a successor interagency body designated by the President.
(b) MANDATORY NOTIFICATION.—Any acquisition described in subsection (a) shall be notified to the Committee not less than forty-five (45) days before consummation, with full disclosure of the beneficial ownership chain determined on the look-through basis of Section 3602(5).
(c) CATEGORICAL RESTRICTION.—Where the Committee determines that a proposed acquisition would place a Sensitive United States Asset under the control of Adversary-Traceable Capital and that no mitigation measure can adequately protect the national security interest, the Committee shall prohibit the acquisition. Such a determination shall be supported by written findings and is subject to judicial review under the procedural protections of Title XVIII.
(d) DIVESTITURE OF EXISTING HOLDINGS.—Where Adversary-Traceable Capital holds, as of the date of enactment, a controlling interest in a Sensitive United States Asset, the holder shall notify the Committee within one hundred eighty (180) days, and the Committee may order divestiture subject to the one hundred eighty (180) day asset-divestment notice window and ALJ Judicial Verification Warrant requirements of Section 1804, and, where applicable, the volume-absorption and just-compensation protections of Title XIV.
(e) ALLY AND PARTNER CAPITAL UNAFFECTED.—Capital traceable solely to a foreign government that is not a Foreign Adversary is not Adversary-Traceable Capital and is not subject to the screen of this section, except to the extent independently reviewable under existing Committee authority.
SEC. 3606. BENEFICIAL-OWNERSHIP LOOK-THROUGH — ANTI-FRONT-COMPANY ENFORCEMENT.
(a) LOOK-THROUGH STANDARD.—For purposes of the capital-flight lock authority of Section 1806, the asset-seizure and forced-divestment authorities of Title XVIII, and the adversary capital screen of Section 3605, beneficial ownership shall be determined on a look-through basis that pierces every intermediary entity, nominee arrangement, trust, and front company, without regard to the jurisdiction in which any intermediary is organized.
(b) FRONT-COMPANY PRESUMPTION.—An entity shall be presumed to be a front company for a documented beneficial owner where the entity (1) is organized in a jurisdiction identified as high-risk for money laundering by the Financial Action Task Force or the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network; (2) lacks substantial independent business operations; and (3) engages in transactions principally for the benefit of the documented beneficial owner. The presumption is rebuttable by clear and convincing evidence of independent operations.
(c) NO STRICT-LIABILITY EXPANSION.—This section establishes a method of determining beneficial ownership and does not create any new penalty. All penal remedies arising from conduct identified through the look-through standard remain subject to the Article III adjudication and jury-trial requirements applicable under this Act, and to the pre-deprivation notice and warrant requirements of Title XVIII.
SEC. 3607. ENFORCEMENT AND COORDINATION.
(a) PRIMARY AGENCIES.—The Department of Justice (FARA Unit) shall be the primary enforcement agency for Sections 3603 and 3604; the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States shall be primary for Section 3605; and the Department of the Treasury, in coordination with the FMIA, shall be primary for Section 3606 as it relates to Section 1806.
(b) CIVIL DISCLOSURE ENFORCEMENT.—A knowing and willful failure to make a disclosure required by Section 3603 or 3604 is subject to civil penalty. Consistent with the enforcement architecture of this Act, no civil monetary penalty shall be finally assessed except by a United States District Court with the Seventh Amendment right to trial by jury preserved.
(c) NO RETALIATORY OR SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT.—Enforcement under this Title shall be conducted on a viewpoint-neutral and nationality-neutral basis. The Department of Justice shall publish an annual report stating, in the aggregate and by foreign-government principal, the number of registrations, disclosures, and enforcement actions under this Title, to permit public verification that enforcement does not target any nation, viewpoint, or community selectively.
SEC. 3608. SCHEDULE D BENCHMARKS — TITLE XXXVI.
The Department of Justice and the FMIA shall report biennially to Congress on: (1) the number of foreign-government principals newly registered under FARA following closure of the Lobbying Disclosure Act exemption; (2) the number of foreign-funded influence disclosures filed under Section 3604; (3) the number of adversary-capital acquisitions notified, cleared, mitigated, or prohibited under Section 3605; (4) the number of beneficial-ownership look-through determinations made under Section 3606; and (5) confirmation, with supporting aggregate data, that enforcement has been conducted on a nationality-neutral and viewpoint-neutral basis.
Short answer: no, it’s not anti-business. The NSRA rewards companies that make things, hire people, and compete fairly, and rebalances the ones that profit by extracting. Here’s the plain version.
If you build and hire
Small businesses (under $10M) are exempt and can get grants and free help. Makers and manufacturers win: foreign wage advantages disappear, and you get reshoring credits and stronger customer demand.
Most large companies
Established companies that compete on merit come out roughly even or ahead, new demand from universal coverage and wage floors offsets a higher corporate rate.
The extractors
Companies that profit mainly by offshoring wages, cornering housing, or financial engineering get restructured, but they are paid fair market value, and nothing is seized. The rebalance is the whole point.

The National Sovereignty and Resilience Act was not written in a congressional office, a think tank, or a lobbying firm. It was not funded by a donor. It was not shaped by a party platform. It was written by one person, a citizen who spent a career inside the systems this bill reforms, watched Americans fall through gaps this bill closes, and decided the fix needed to be written.
No campaign donors shaped it. No party platform constrained it. No political career depended on it. Every provision was written to work, not to win a vote.
The Author
10-Year US Navy Submarine Veteran
Served a decade in the submarine service. The veterans provisions in Title XXV were written by someone who wore the uniform, not someone who read about it.
Federal Contractor, National Security & Diplomacy
Embedded across multiple federal agencies in law enforcement and diplomatic operations. Knows how government actually runs, the budget lines, the turf wars, and what survives a change in administration.
VA Ambulatory Care Director, Care Referral Continuum
Directed ambulatory care operations and the full veteran care referral continuum, including community care coordination, at a major federal VA medical facility. The Title XXV architecture was designed by someone who ran the system it reforms.
Why It Matters
Every mechanism in this bill was designed to survive the real world, committee attorneys, federal courts, CBO scoring, and hostile floor amendments. The due process windows in Title XVIII were calibrated to Mathews v. Eldridge specifically to prevent the injunctions that killed prior reform attempts. The V_abs throttle in Title XIV was engineered to avoid the housing market shock that critics used to kill every previous housing reform bill.
The 7-Subledger Math Engine™ underlying the SIRF was built to be auditable to the penny. Every revenue projection has a corresponding CBO-scriptable enforcement mechanism. Every benefit has a corresponding revenue source. There is no "and then a miracle occurs" step in the fiscal model. Each stream, from IRS enforcement to SS payroll cap equity, corporate rate restoration, carbon dividend, Pillar Two, financial transaction tax, and federal land royalty reform, carries a confidence weight derived from existing JCT and CBO scoring analogs.
The 5-bill packaging strategy is not political compromise, it is surgical precision. Each bill can pass independently, deliver value independently, and fund the next. If three pass and two stall, Americans still get universal healthcare, fiscal reform, and the economic sovereignty provisions. The architecture was designed so that partial victory is still a historic win.
This is what it looks like when the person writing the bill has nothing to lose and everything to prove.
