Rep. Clay Fuller

Maddy summaryThis bill, known as the ASSIMILATION Act, fundamentally restructures the U.S. immigration system by replacing family-based and lottery-based admissions with a merit-based approach that prioritizes economic self-sufficiency and national interest. It directly affects prospective immigrants, current visa holders, and employers by establishing new requirements for entry, employment, and naturalization. Key provisions eliminate the diversity visa lottery, restrict family-sponsored immigration to spouses and minor children, and mandate that all immigrants demonstrate the ability to support themselves without relying on government benefits. The legislation also introduces stricter enforcement measures, such as making visa overstays a criminal offense, expanding E-Verify to all employers, and requiring higher English proficiency and tax compliance for citizenship. Additionally, it tightens asylum rules by adding a transit bar for those passing through other countries and limits parole to specific humanitarian cases rather than broad programs.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires the Department of Defense to review and eventually ban contracts with retailers that use payment processing systems from specific countries deemed a national security risk, such as China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. Effective January 1, 2027, the Defense Department will be prohibited from entering into agreements for payment equipment or services if those tools rely on technology developed, owned, or controlled by entities in these nations. The law defines covered systems broadly to include hardware, software, and firmware linked to these countries, aiming to prevent potential foreign access to sensitive military financial data. Retailers wishing to continue working with the Department of Defense must replace their payment processing infrastructure with systems that do not involve these restricted technologies.

Maddy summaryThis concurrent resolution expresses Congress's support for law enforcement officers and honors those who have died or been injured while performing their duties. The document highlights the dangers officers face, noting high rates of assaults and suicide, as well as current staffing shortages compared to pre-2020 levels. It calls for increased measures to improve officer safety, including more personnel, better training and equipment, stricter penalties for assaulting officers, and expanded mental health resources. This non-binding measure does not create new laws or allocate funding but serves to formally recognize the contributions of police professionals and urge government bodies to provide necessary support.

Maddy summaryThe CRUSADE Act amends immigration law to require applicants for special immigrant visas to explicitly disavow Sharia law. Under this provision, individuals seeking these specific visas must take an additional oath affirming their commitment to uphold the U.S. Constitution. The bill directly affects foreign nationals applying for special immigrant status by adding a new eligibility requirement related to their legal and religious beliefs. This change does not alter the general immigration process but imposes a specific condition on one category of visa applicants.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to share a veteran's history of opioid prescriptions with their community healthcare providers. The rule applies to veterans receiving care outside the VA system and mandates that this prescription data be sent to both the specific non-VA doctors treating them and any third-party administrators managing their care. By updating existing regulations, the legislation aims to improve coordination between VA medical records and private healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive treatment information is available.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes a constitutional amendment to clarify how citizenship is determined at birth, directly affecting individuals born in the United States and their parents. It would restrict automatic citizenship to children born to parents who are U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, or active-duty military members, while also granting Congress the authority to pass laws enforcing these rules. By modifying the interpretation of the 14th Amendment, the measure aims to establish specific criteria for birthright citizenship that align with current immigration laws.

Maddy summaryThis bill authorizes Congress to award three Congressional Gold Medals to President Donald Trump, the United States Secret Service, and local law enforcement partners. The legislation recognizes these individuals and groups for their roles in preventing recent political violence and protecting the President during specific incidents in Butler, West Palm Beach, and Washington, DC. It directs the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate to arrange for the medals, with designated copies intended for public display, the Secret Service Museum, and the National Law Enforcement Museum. Additionally, the bill allows the Secretary of the Treasury to strike bronze duplicates for sale to cover the production costs of the gold medals.

Maddy summaryThis bill fundamentally restructures the U.S. immigration system by replacing the current employment-based visa categories with a new points-based program that prioritizes applicants with high salaries, advanced degrees, English proficiency, and U.S. military service. Under this new system, employers must attest that they have attempted to hire qualified American workers first and guarantee that hiring an immigrant will not result in layoffs of existing U.S. employees. Additionally, the bill eliminates the Diversity Lottery program, restricts certain family sponsorship categories for citizens, and imposes conditional permanent resident status on new immigrants who must prove they are not receiving public benefits and remain employed within two years. The legislation also mandates that undocumented students pay out-of-state tuition rates at colleges and requires immigrants to sign statements affirming their loyalty to U.S. constitutional principles and opposition to specific forms of persecution.

Maddy summaryThis bill, known as TREY's Law, aims to make nondisclosure clauses in contracts void and unenforceable if they prevent the reporting of sexual abuse involving minors. It directly affects victims of such abuse, their families, and anyone with knowledge of the abuse by allowing them to disclose these incidents without fear of civil liability. The law applies retroactively to agreements made before or after its passage and overrides any state laws that allow the enforcement of these specific clauses. While it invalidates clauses that silence abuse details, it permits parties to keep confidential other settlement terms like payment amounts, provided this does not stop the disclosure of the abuse itself.

Maddy summaryThis resolution formally condemns the attempted assassination of President Donald J. Trump on April 25, 2026, as well as previous attempts in 2024, and recognizes the critical role of the Department of Homeland Security. The bill expresses gratitude to law enforcement officers who responded to the attack and affirms the Secret Service's responsibility for protecting the President. Additionally, it calls on Americans to unite against political violence and condemns those who incite attacks against public officials.
