Maddy summaryThe SHIELD Citizens Act aims to restrict access to federal welfare programs, such as food assistance, Medicaid, and housing aid, exclusively to United States citizens. By amending existing laws, the bill removes eligibility for noncitizens, including lawfully domiciled residents, while preserving access to emergency medical care, disaster relief, and services like soup kitchens. The legislation includes a transition period allowing current recipients to keep their benefits for up to 180 days after the law takes effect, which is set to begin 180 days after enactment. This change directly impacts noncitizen families who currently rely on these safety net programs, narrowing the pool of eligible individuals to citizens only.

Key provisions include establishing new housing standards with mandatory inspections, creating a system for staggered worker entry and exit, and allowing workers to transfer between employers without losing their status. The bill also defines specific job classifications for wage calculations, expands the scope of covered agricultural activities, and provides legal protections for employers who document the employment of workers seeking visa status. Additionally, it requires agencies to develop a heat illness prevention plan and allows for contract termination due to natural disasters.

Maddy summaryThe End EPA Abuse Act of 2026 amends the Clean Air Act to limit the Environmental Protection Agency's authority to create new regulations. Specifically, it prohibits the EPA Administrator from issuing rules that restrict the sale or use of internal combustion engine vehicles, force power plants to switch fuel sources, or reduce the reliability of the electric grid. The bill also bars the agency from mandating technologies that are commercially unavailable, too expensive without subsidies, or technically unfeasible due to geographic or infrastructure limitations. Additionally, the law prevents the EPA from expanding its regulatory power beyond what Congress originally intended. These changes directly affect the EPA's ability to enforce environmental standards and impact industries such as automotive manufacturing and energy production.
