Washington, D.C. – U.S Representative Tim Walberg (MI-07) and U.S. Senator Rand Paul have reintroduced the Fifth Amendment Integrity Restoration Act (FAIR Act), bipartisan legislation to curb civil asset forfeiture abuse and protect the American people's due process and private property rights. H.R. 1555 will raise the level of proof necessary for the government to seize property, reform the IRS structuring statute to protect innocent business owners, increase transparency and Congressional oversight, and many other important reforms.
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Representatives Tim Walberg (MI-07) and Debbie Dingell (MI-12) today reintroduced "Jessie's Law," a bipartisan bill named after Michigan resident Jessie Grubb who tragically died of an opioid overdose last year. Jessie's Law would help ensure doctors have access to a consenting patient's prior history of addiction in order to make fully informed care and treatment decisions.

Walberg, alongside Andy's Angels founder Mike Hirst, toured the Jackson County Jail on Chanter Road Monday, March 6, meeting with inmates who have been affected by heroin.
The House on Thursday passed legislation aimed at increasing transparency in the regulatory process.
The Regulatory Integrity Act, backed by Rep. Tim Walberg (R-Mich.), requires federal agencies to shed light on what happens behind the scenes when they are crafting new rules. The measure also prohibits regulators from drumming up public support for those rules.
The House voted 246-176 to pass the bill, with 14 Democrats crossing party lines to support the measure, and one Republican opposing it.
Congressman Walberg co-sponsored House Bill 1121 by Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Greg Walden. Called the Pre-Existing Conditions Protection Act, the bill aims to reaffirm guaranteed health care access, ensure that enrollees cannot have benefits excluded from a plan due to a pre-existing condition and that patients will not pay more based on their health care status.
