Maddy summaryThis bill, titled the One Nation, One Visa Policy Act, would require all Chinese nationals to have a valid visa before being allowed entry into the United States. It directly affects Chinese citizens and passport holders by prohibiting their visa-free admission and directing the Department of Homeland Security to stop using funds for any Chinese participation in existing visa waiver programs. The legislation explicitly includes Hong Kong and Macau under the definition of the People's Republic of China for the purposes of this restriction. The bill would remove the ability of Chinese nationals to enter the country without a visa under current waiver arrangements.

Maddy summaryThis bill prevents property owners from paying income tax on the profit they make when the government takes their land or buildings through eminent domain (such as for public projects) or when they sell due to immediate threat of taking. It creates a new tax exclusion in the Internal Revenue Code, meaning the government's payment for the property isn't counted as taxable income. Property owners can choose to waive this exclusion and pay tax on the gain if they prefer. The bill directly affects homeowners and businesses facing government acquisitions using eminent domain powers.

Maddy summaryHR 7678, the Gun Owner Registration Information Protection Act, prohibits federal funding for state or local databases that track lawfully owned firearms or their owners. The bill allows federal funding for databases recording lost or stolen firearms but bans it for databases listing legal gun ownership. This means states cannot use federal money to create or maintain systems that compile information about legally owned guns. The bill directly affects state and local governments that rely on federal funds for firearm ownership databases.

Maddy summaryThe Stop Illegal Alien Cops Act amends federal law to modify exemptions for government entities regarding firearms. Currently, federal, state, and local government agencies are generally exempt from many federal prohibitions when acquiring or supplying firearms for official use. This bill would remove that exemption for specific prohibitions, making it unlawful for government entities to provide firearms to or employ individuals who are unlawfully in the United States. Additionally, the bill removes the

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes a 100 percent tax on income earned by U.S. citizens and permanent residents who compete in major international sporting events like the Olympics or World Cup while representing foreign countries designated as entities of concern. The tax applies to both prize money and sponsorship income received from these competitions. It defines covered individuals as U.S. nationals or permanent residents and specifies that global athletic events include the Summer and Winter Olympics, World Cup, Tour de France, and Wimbledon. The legislation would take effect for amounts received after the bill is enacted, with the revenue treated as regular income tax under existing Internal Revenue Code rules.

Respect State Housing Laws Act This bill eliminates a provision that requires a 30-day notice period before a landlord may begin eviction proceedings against a tenant in federally assisted or federally backed housing.

Maddy summaryThe Restoring Washington's Birthday Act of 2026 would add "Lincoln’s Birthday" as a new federal holiday and change the observance of "Washington’s Birthday" from the third Monday in February to February 22. This would directly affect federal employees and agencies, which would observe these holidays on the specified dates. The bill specifies February 22 for Washington’s Birthday but does not establish a date for Lincoln’s Birthday. The key change is shifting Washington’s Birthday to a fixed calendar date while introducing a new holiday.

Maddy summaryThis bill is not a real legislative proposal but a widely circulated hoax. It falsely claims to prohibit federal funding for states that "prohibit dog ownership" while misrepresenting Sharia law as a threat to pet ownership - a claim with no basis in reality, as Sharia law does not regulate pet ownership and no U.S. jurisdiction prohibits dog ownership. The bill contains factual inaccuracies (e.g., falsely equating Sharia law with being "against the pursuit of happiness") and would be unconstitutional due to religious discrimination. It was never introduced in Congress and appears to be a satirical or misleading online post.

This bill specifies a legal standard for determining whether an individual is considered an independent contractor rather than an employee for the purposes of federal labor laws that address issues such as the federal minimum wage, overtime compensation, and collective bargaining. The rights and protections provided by these laws exclusively apply to employees. Under the bill, an individual is considered an independent contractor if (1) another individual or entity does not exercise significant control over the details of how the individual's work is performed, without regard to any control the other individual or entity may exercise over the final result of the work performed; and (2) while performing such work, the individual has opportunities and risks inherent with entrepreneurship (for example, the discretion to exercise professional judgment). The bill also sets forth factors that may not be used to determine whether an individual is an employee. Specifically, factors such as whether another individual or entity requires the individual to meet certain legal, health and safety, insurance, or performance requirements may not be used to make such a determination.

Protection of Women in Olympic and Amateur Sports Act This bill requires certified national governing bodies (NGBs) of amateur sports (e.g., USA Gymnastics) to prohibit a person whose sex is male from participating in an amateur athletic competition that is designated for females, women, or girls. Under the bill, male  means an individual who has, had, will have—or would have, but for a developmental or genetic anomaly or historical accident—the reproductive system that at some point produces, transports, and utilizes sperm for fertilization.
