Rep. Mike Kelly

Maddy summaryThis resolution expresses support for designating June 28, 2026, as "Community is Stronger than Cancer Day" to honor the millions of Americans affected by cancer. The bill encourages the public to foster compassionate communities and provide support to patients, survivors, caregivers, and their loved ones. It aims to celebrate the connection and hope found within these communities rather than implementing new laws or funding.

Maddy summaryThis bill authorizes Congress to award a Congressional Gold Medal to individuals who fought for or with the United States in the Pacific theater during World War II and subsequently became prisoners of war. The legislation specifically recognizes the service and sacrifice of those who defended locations such as Bataan and Corregidor, including Filipino soldiers and civilians who served alongside U.S. forces. To implement this award, the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate will arrange for the creation of a gold medal by the Secretary of the Treasury, which will be presented to the Smithsonian Institution for display. The act also allows for the production of duplicate bronze medals to cover the costs of the original gold medals, with any proceeds from these sales deposited into the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund.

Maddy summaryThis bill redesignates the existing National Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration Fund as the America's Legacy Restoration Fund to address deferred maintenance on federal lands. It directs revenue from recreation fees and a portion of energy development income into the fund, which must be used primarily for repairing critical infrastructure like roads, trails, and buildings managed by agencies such as the National Park Service and the Forest Service. The legislation establishes strict rules requiring that most funds go toward non-transportation projects, mandates transparency through public dashboards tracking project status, and sets aside a small percentage for matching private donations. Additionally, the bill increases entrance fees for foreign visitors to ensure they contribute to the fund, while prohibiting the use of these specific funds for land acquisition or employee bonuses.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends the existing Northern Border Security Review Act to update deadlines and requirements for border security assessments. It requires the Department of Homeland Security Secretary to submit a northern border threat analysis by September 2, 2026, and every two years after, with strategy updates due 90 days after each analysis. The bill also mandates classified briefings to congressional committees 30 days after each threat analysis and directs the development of performance measures for Air and Marine Operations within six months of enactment. These changes directly affect the DHS Secretary, congressional committees, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection's operations along the northern border.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes to exempt qualified religious institutions from a federal excise tax on excess investment income. To qualify for this exemption, an institution must be established after 1776, have at least 25% of its governing body appointed by or required to be members of a recognized religious organization, and maintain a mission statement based on religious beliefs. The changes would take effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025, with the Treasury Department required to issue guidance by the end of 2026.

Repealing Big Brother Overreach Act This bill repeals the Corporate Transparency Act. The act requires existing companies and newly created companies to report beneficial ownership information to the Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network for purposes of addressing the financing of terrorism and money laundering.

Maddy summaryThe Juice for Healthy Families Act of 2026 amends the Child Nutrition Act to increase the maximum monthly allowance of single-strength juice for participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). Under this change, families receiving Food Packages IV, V, VI, or VII would be authorized to receive up to 128 fluid ounces of juice per month instead of the current limit. This policy adjustment directly affects WIC participants by expanding their access to juice as part of their nutritional support. The bill does not alter eligibility requirements or the overall structure of the program, focusing solely on the specific quantity of juice permitted.

Maddy summaryThe Juice Access Improvement Act modifies the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) to make juice the standard food benefit for specific participant groups, including young children, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers. Under this bill, the Secretary of Agriculture must require state agencies to set juice as the default option while still allowing participants to request a cash-value voucher instead if they prefer other food items. The law defines eligible juice based on existing federal nutritional standards and ensures that the value of any cash vouchers used for substitutions is adjusted annually for inflation. This change directly affects families enrolled in WIC food packages designed for children, pregnant women, and postpartum or breastfeeding individuals.

Maddy summaryHR 3429 establishes a formal US-Japan-ROK Inter-Parliamentary Dialogue to deepen trilateral cooperation. It creates a US delegation of up to 8 Congress members (2 each from House/Senate leadership, with committee requirements) to meet annually with Japanese and South Korean legislators. The bill mandates annual reports to the Foreign Affairs and Foreign Relations committees and requires the delegation to rotate leadership between House and Senate every two years. This legislation directly affects US congressional members appointed to the delegation and provides a structured mechanism for ongoing policy coordination among the three nations.

Maddy summaryThe Charitable Deductions for Digital Asset Donations Act allows taxpayers to deduct the fair market value of widely traded digital assets when donated to qualified charities, removing the current requirement to obtain a formal appraisal for these contributions. To qualify, a digital asset must be fungible, have readily available market quotations, a market capitalization exceeding $500 million, and not be owned by more than 10% of the taxpayer or related parties. The bill also establishes specific definitions for wrapped and tokenized assets while giving the IRS authority to exclude assets lacking reliable price discovery or at risk of manipulation. These changes will take effect for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2026, with the $500 million threshold subject to inflation adjustments in subsequent years.
