Maddy summaryHR 1602, the Financial Privacy Act of 2025, requires the Treasury Secretary to report annually to Congress on how law enforcement and intelligence agencies access FinCEN’s financial data. It mandates detailed reports on the volume of reports filed (like Currency Transaction Reports), how many are retained, and protocols governing agency access - including denials of access requests. The bill also requires annual review of these protocols with the Director of National Intelligence and Attorney General to better align data use with security needs while protecting privacy rights. The provisions expire after 7 years, with no changes to existing data collection rules.

Maddy summaryHRES 229 is a formal House resolution impeaching Chief Judge James E. Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. It accuses him of abusing judicial power by interfering with President Trump's enforcement of immigration policies under the Alien Enemies Act, specifically blocking efforts to remove aliens linked to the Tren de Aragua terrorist group and ordering planes to turn around midair. The resolution claims these actions violated separation of powers by second-guessing the President's constitutional authority without judicial authority. This is a procedural impeachment resolution pending Senate action, not a law affecting the public.

Maddy summaryThe FOCA Act of 2025 prohibits federal agencies from requiring or banning contractors from using union agreements in construction project bids or contracts. It directly affects federal agencies, contractors, and subcontractors working on federally funded or assisted construction projects (like buildings or infrastructure). The law requires bid documents to not favor or penalize contractors based on whether they have union agreements, aiming to promote open competition and prevent discrimination. This changes how agencies structure bids but does not affect union agreements themselves. The bill applies to all new contracts and subcontracts after enactment, with limited exemptions only for public health/safety emergencies or national security.

Maddy summaryHR 1116, the REAL Meat Act of 2025, prohibits federal funding for cell-cultured meat (lab-produced meat) by banning government support for its research, production, promotion, or inclusion in USDA programs. It directly affects federal agencies like the Department of Agriculture and research programs by blocking funds for any activity related to cell-cultured meat, except for NASA's space-related use. The bill defines cell-cultured meat as meat grown from animal cells in a lab, ensuring the funding restriction applies specifically to this method. The sole exception allows NASA to fund cell-cultured meat intended for consumption off-planet. This policy change restricts government financial support but does not ban the sale or consumption of cell-cultured meat products.

Maddy summaryThe Stop the Cartels Act (HR 1915) aims to combat drug trafficking and human smuggling by enhancing U.S. intelligence efforts focused on Mexico and Central American countries. It requires regular reports on drug trafficking organizations, designates specific cartels (including the Sinaloa Cartel and Jalisco New Generation Cartel) as "Special Transnational Criminal Organizations," and withholds federal grants from jurisdictions that violate immigration laws. The bill also establishes refugee application centers in Mexico and Central America, increases immigration judge staffing by 500 positions, and reforms asylum processing to address fraud while ending family separation policies. It repurposes federal drug program funding by increasing substance abuse prevention and treatment grants while repealing several existing programs. The legislation directly affects U.S. immigration enforcement, federal funding allocation to state and local governments, and the processing of asylum claims and refugee applications.

Maddy summaryThis bill restores pension benefits for retirees affected by the termination of specific Delphi pension plans. It requires the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) to recalculate monthly benefits to the "full vested plan benefit" (the amount retirees would have received without prior reductions) and pay lump-sum payments for past underpayments, including 6% annual interest. The law applies to retirees of six Delphi pension plans, including the Delphi Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan and Delphi Retirement Program for Salaried Employees, who are currently receiving benefits or eligible for future payments. Payments will be funded from existing PBGC resources without changing prior asset allocations.

Maddy summaryHR 1857, the Capital Gains Inflation Relief Act of 2025, would reduce taxable capital gains for individuals selling certain assets held over three years by adjusting the asset's original purchase price for inflation. It directly affects individual investors who sell qualifying assets like stocks (including foreign stocks traded on major exchanges), digital assets, or tangible property after holding them for more than three years. The bill replaces the standard adjusted basis with an "indexed basis" calculated using the GDP deflator to account for inflation between purchase and sale dates. This adjustment lowers the taxable gain amount without changing tax rates, though it includes specific rules for investment funds like REITs and mutual funds, and excludes assets held for less than three years or sold between related parties. The changes would apply to assets acquired after December 31, 2025.

Maddy summaryHJRES 66 is a congressional resolution seeking to reject an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule related to Ohio's air quality program. Specifically, it targets the EPA's approval of Ohio's withdrawal of a technical amendment to its air plan, as published in the Federal Register on January 21, 2025. If passed, the resolution would block the EPA rule from taking effect under a specific federal procedure for congressional disapproval. This action directly affects Ohio's implementation of air quality regulations by preventing the EPA from formally approving the state's technical amendment change. The resolution does not create new policy but aims to halt a specific administrative action.

Maddy summaryThe New Health Options Act of 2025 establishes a federal reinsurance program to lower premiums for certain individual health insurance plans. It provides payments to insurers covering "eligible individuals" enrolled in specific off-Exchange plans, with a $110,000 attachment point and 90% coverage up to $300,000 per claim, funded by $50 per member-month (capped at $6 billion annually). The bill also allows insurers to opt out of the standard risk pool (affecting how premiums are calculated) and removes limits on age-based premium variations for some plans, while maintaining a 3:1 age ratio for others. Additionally, it requires insurers to apply out-of-network costs to deductibles and mandates health care providers to disclose price comparisons for covered services.

Maddy summaryHR 1792 prohibits U.S. federal funds from being provided to three United Nations agencies: the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and the Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). The bill requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to conduct a study identifying all U.S. funding to these agencies from 2021-2025, including amounts and restrictions, and to assess any funds owed to the U.S. government. It also mandates an audit of the State Department’s Refugee Travel Loan Program. The GAO must submit a report to Congress within 180 days of the bill’s enactment detailing these findings. This bill directly affects federal funding mechanisms for international refugee and migration programs.
