Maddy summaryThis resolution formally designates May 10, 2026, as National Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Mental Health Day to raise awareness about mental health within these communities. The text highlights that many individuals in this diverse group face barriers to care, including high costs, language differences, and cultural stigma, which result in low rates of treatment utilization. While the measure itself is symbolic and does not create new laws or funding, it encourages federal, state, and local agencies to develop policies that improve access to culturally and linguistically appropriate mental health services.

Maddy summaryThe National Defense Data Resilience Act requires the Department of Defense to classify its data into three categories based on the severity of potential impacts from loss or destruction. Under this bill, the Defense Secretary must establish specific timelines for recovering critical data within 180 days and other data types within 270 days, while also developing a comprehensive strategy to meet these goals. The legislation mandates the implementation of secure backup systems, continuous monitoring for threats, and regular simulated cyberattack exercises to ensure the military can restore essential functions quickly. Additionally, the act restricts the adoption of new data recovery technologies unless they meet strict security standards and are included in an official inventory of approved tools.

Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits the U.S. government from spending money on military actions against Iran between its enactment and December 31, 2026, unless Congress explicitly approves the use of force.

The law directly restricts the President's ability to deploy troops without legislative approval during the specified timeframe.

The resolution calls on the American public to observe Public Service Recognition Week with ceremonies and activities that recognize these contributions. Because it is a symbolic expression of the House's feelings rather than a law with enforceable rules, it does not create new policies or mandate specific actions.

If the committee initiates or intervenes in the lawsuit, it must report its actions to the full House of Representatives as soon as possible.

Maddy summaryThis bill, known as the Lowering Utility Bills Act, aims to reduce electricity and natural gas costs by regulating how utility companies calculate their profits and what expenses they can pass on to customers. It requires transmission providers and investor-owned utilities to determine a reasonable profit range based on historical stock market returns from academics, large financial institutions, and major global banks, then generally limits their authorized profit to the lowest point in that range. Additionally, the legislation bans utilities from recovering specific costs in customer rates, including lobbying fees, political contributions, executive travel, and entertainment expenses. The bill also mandates that utilities prioritize lower-cost grid technologies in their planning and requires them to publicly justify any decision to use a higher profit rate than the standard minimum.

The bill aims to raise public awareness about the difficulties these patients endure, such as long diagnostic delays, misdiagnoses, and lack of treatment options, while honoring the work of the Undiagnosed Diseases Network and related research efforts. By acknowledging this month, the House intends to promote greater understanding of the need for improved diagnostic tools and equitable access to medical care for individuals with undiagnosed conditions.

Maddy summaryThe PRICE Act requires third-party food delivery apps to stop using hidden pricing strategies that change delivery fees based on a customer's past order history or willingness to pay. Starting 90 days after enactment, these platforms must calculate delivery fees using a fixed formula based only on the order total and distance, while clearly displaying the base food price and the final total before checkout. The law also mandates that apps explain exactly what each delivery fee covers and whether it is refundable. The Federal Trade Commission is responsible for enforcing these rules, and state attorneys general have the authority to sue platforms that violate the act on behalf of their residents.
